And every fight has its reason.

Jovic criticized the coach

In the Conference League semi-finals between Basel and Fiorentina there are clubs that urgently need to go to Prague. After the home defeat, the Italian team experienced an internal rift. Serbs Jovic and Terzic have reposted a post from a fan account criticizing the Italian Fiorentina coach. The author called the mentor’s work against Basel a “tactical disaster”.

The coach was chided for loving the extra rotation. Viola fans agree that they lost in vain at home to such an unpleasant opponent as Basel. The former Abascal is in average form, but clings to the balls. Of course, the Serbs have already apologized to the coach. Jovic said he didn’t read the text he reposted. But such internal scandals, even if the mentor is calm, can affect.

Fiorentina have Amrabat, Bonaventura, Cabral, the former Basel striker. The Italians had more ball possession at home and attacked more often. But the Swiss proved resilient and were better in the end, scoring the winning goal in the 92nd minute. The Italians with wards greatly complicated their task. Strong-willed victories inspire. Basel will now settle for a draw, they are one step away from the final.

Mourinho pissed off Alonso

If Mkhitaryan wins Champions League with Inter he will become the only player in history to win three modern European competitions. Mourinho is already the only manager with a full set of trophies. But Jose is not averse to playing in the second consecutive European Cup final and does not want to comment on the rumors about it PSG. It is possible that in the event of Zidane’s refusal, the sheikhs will come for the titled Portuguese.

The Parisians will not interfere with the coach, who also tries to be disciplined by Dybala. That’s just one of the heroes of the second plan has health problems. And the Germans can’t play Schick. But there are Diaby and Wirtz, Frimpong on the right and an experienced goalkeeper Hradecki. They won’t give up after a missed ball in Rome. Mourinho’s team failed to score more than he tried.

But Jose’s plan for the match worked. Xabi Alonso’s team had the ball but not the game. Roma know how to work in a specific way, 5 out of 12 shots went on target and Bayer only had two chances to score for Patricio. Let’s see how the stands and the change of scenery will affect it. There is no feeling that Bayer has given up and collapsed. They have Azmun on the bench, in the middle of the smart guys. We are waiting for, if not action-packed, then meaningful football.

Moyes defends the honor of London

In the spring, the honor of one of the football capitals is wounded. Arsenal lost their lead Premier League and can be left without a trophy. Perhaps the biggest tragedy of the season. Chelsea will not play in European competition for the first time in seven seasons, they have lost the chance to at least be in the Conference League. Tottenham are racing without a head coach and so far promising mentors are refusing. London clubs are not having the best of times, only Brentford and Fulham are happy to be in the middle of the table.

But the experienced manager of “West Ham” David Moyes has the most difficult season Premier League, where they have four losses in the last five rounds. Save only a resounding victory over Manchester United. But the capital club has a bad calendar, they will play against Leeds and Leicester. Both teams can be eliminated from Premier League behind Southampton. It is important that West Ham hang on to any win, including European successes. In the first game against AZ in London, after the break, they found an argument for a comeback.

But the missed goal reminds us of the current state of Dutch clubs. They haven’t reached the semi-finals of European competitions together like the Italian teams, but look at the odds table Uefa. In the ranking, the Netherlands is actively advancing on the heels of France. It is possible that they will pass the table, so they will pass the top 5. It is clear that AZ not the country’s champion, because Feyenoord deserved the title. But the Alkmaar-based club are used to attacking football and are two points clear of Ajax in the table. There are no random entrants at semi-final level, West Ham shouldn’t relax.

Allegri is afraid of the Spaniards

The most state of the semifinals. Experienced in the Europa League, Sevilla will face Juventus, who have not won a European competition since February 1997. Then the Turintians broke through PSG in two Super Bowl Finals Uefa. The winners of the Champions League managed to sign Zidane. They had quite strong Italians with Del Piero in the lead. The Parisians lost at home 1:6. Rai, Leonardo, Lama and Le Gouin didn’t help. And in Turin, the favorite won more modestly – 3:1, but no less confident.

After 26 years, Agnelli despaired of waiting for victory in the Champions League. But at least the cup Uefa can his favorite team win? Over the past five years, Juventus have spent more money on newcomers than Manchester City. And where are the successes in the European competition? They shone in the Champions League final, we pay tribute. But Allegri is working with a team that failed to beat Sevilla at home, mid-season in La Liga. Everyone knows how dangerous Rakitic’s team is in the Europa League.

And at the same time, you shouldn’t make a cult of previous victories. Yesterday Manchester City weren’t afraid of Real Madrid’s great past, but they rewrote the present. With Cuadrado, Locatelli, Rabiot, Di Maria and Vlahovic you have to beat Sevilla after the home draw. But remember what the Spaniards did at home to Manchester United. Two teams have lost their lineup, not just Pogba’s injury. For the Spaniards, their self-confidence, and for the Italians says the need to reach the final to brighten up the scandalous season.

Neutral spectators will certainly not turn down the finals of Allegri against Mourinho, as well as Italian against Moyes, to cut clubs from the elite leagues. But things could go differently, because Sevilla and Bayer, AZ and Basel are also preparing today to embellish the season with the anticipation for the European finals.
