Sevilla is still very powerful. Their offense is quite Spanish football-passing, penetration, fast attack, and on-site pressing in the frontcourt. They use their constant squeeze of opponents to create a situation that is beneficial to their own offensive.

They also invested a lot of troops in the attack, and pressing and counterattacking on the spot will also cause considerable trouble to their opponents.

In this game, Sevilla held the belief of winning, and the meaning of the game was different for both sides. Mirwall won the Champions League for the first time and participated in the Super Cup for the first time. After Sevilla defended the League Cup, he also hoped to successfully defend the UEFA Super Cup.

Facing the strong Sevilla, Real Madrid and Barcelona will have a headache. If you insist on playing against each other, the result of the game will be somewhat uncertain. More opponents will choose to stabilize their defense to prevent their opponents from breaking out and gaining a lead too early.

Millwall is different.

It is hard to say what football style Millwall has. Under the tactics based on system capabilities, Millwall has long since departed from the so-called "league style". The basis for the formulation of tactical play is player ability, and Millwall's style represents overall ability.

The new 352 is very focused on offense. As the game just started, Millwall launched a large-scale offensive.

Both teams were on the offensive posture.

The competition became very intense from the beginning, which surprised the media.

The British media are looking forward to Millwall's performance, while the Spanish media are surprised that Millwall has the courage to play against Sevilla. In their opinion, it is equivalent to giving up the game just because Millwall is an English team.

An English team actually plays against La Liga top Sevilla?

Ha ha!

The Spanish media's judgment comes from "empiricalism". Generally speaking, even Manchester United, Arsenal, and La Liga teams will defend for a while, and even choose to fight back from the whole game to have the best chance of winning. They would never have expected that Mirwall is not an ordinary team, and even Mirwall's performance last season is completely wrong, because Mirwall has been improving, and this season's tactics have become more focused on offense, so they are naturally not afraid of fighting against their opponents.

Millwall now prefers to play against offensive opponents.

Sevilla, just right!

If the opponent is Barcelona and Real Madrid, Zhang Yang has to hesitate whether to defend for a while, Sevilla will be a little worse.

This game is a good time to play in the 352 formation!

When both teams take the initiative to attack, the game becomes very interesting.

On the court, the wonderful cooperation was played one after another, and the fans in the audience cheered continuously. They were so satisfied with the game that they never expected that the game would be so exciting at the beginning.

After several waves of offense and defense were over, many people found that Sevilla had some advantages because they had longer possession of the ball, which made people feel that most of the time, football was at Sevilla's feet.

Mirwall seemed a little passive, and the Spanish commentator who broadcast the game shouted, "Mirwall was suppressed by Sevilla! Even if they took the initiative to attack, the technical gap cannot be made up for by active..."

Some Spanish media even said with certainty, "Sevilla only has time left to score a goal!"

The players on the field feel completely opposite.

Sevilla can have more time to control the ball, but that's just because they pass more horizontally and backwards. They take the initiative to control the ball, while the opponent tends to complete the attack in one breath and retreat immediately no matter what the result is.

This is the different way of playing.

Sevilla has a lot of time to control the ball, but they don’t have many opportunities. Mirwall tends to fast attack and has a solid defense. Even if it is just a three-back formation, two midfielders and the sidelines participate in defense, it will make the backcourt look solid. They can’t find a good opportunity for a long time, and the consequences of rashly passing the ball up may be directly intercepted.

The game lasted less than ten minutes, and Sevilla's pass was much more cautious.

They found that the game was not as simple as they thought.

Sevilla's understanding of Mirwall is limited to media reports and a few games, which are the old emperors of last season. Mirwall played in a 451 formation. Before the game, the team kept talking about the "dual core" style. They are confident that they will play a more gorgeous offensive than Mirwall, and they are also the source of confidence in the game.

Now Sevilla is in trouble, and the opponent's stable defense is not the main thing, so the offensive speed is a bit chilling.

In the previous two waves of offensives, the opponent hit the penalty area line without ten seconds. Fortunately, the players in the backcourt defended in time, so they did not give their opponent a chance to shoot.

The goal was held, but the process was memorable.

Sevilla found that he could not give the opponent a chance, but it was impossible in the game. They all consciously increased the ball control because when the football was at his feet, they would feel very safe, at least they didn't have to worry about the opponent hitting the ball to a dangerous position.

"Their counterattack speed is too fast!"

Sevilla all sighed similarly, they were a little scared of Mirvoor's fast attack.

It is meaningless to control the ball for a long time. Millwall's pressing is very active. If you make mistakes when passing too many balls, it will give your opponent a better chance. They control the ball continuously, and face the pressure of pressing, they can only continue to pass forward and take the initiative to find opportunities.

Millwall's defense is not so easy to break. The 352 formation defense is a problem, but the two midfielders and the wing retreat complement the lack of defense. Sevilla can find opportunities when he plays well, but they still feel the toughness of the defense.

Among Sevilla teams, the one who feels the most obvious is forward Fabiano.

Fabiano is at the forefront of the formation and keeps running flexibly, but he still has to face tough defense. He often has to face the midfielder when he gets away from the central defender, and faces the defender on the sidelines. It is difficult for him to run out of real space.

“Their area lockdown is doing a great job.”

Fabiano could feel that the defender was not a single player, which means that the opponent did not restrict him. Relying on overall defense alone was enough to cause considerable trouble.

So far, Fabiano has obtained a shot opportunity. Under the strict blockade, he was unable to control his body and could only swing it at will. As a result, the football flew out of bounds directly.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Sevilla had only two shots.

Canut and his teammates cooperated well, and he shot against the penalty area line and threatened Millwall's goal. Fortunately, goalkeeper Graham quickly saved the ball.

This is a very special attack.

There is nothing else.

Sevilla had only one threat in the first fifteen minutes, but their performance was not bad. Spanish media believed that Sevilla had an advantage because they had more time to control the ball.

Many journalists also discussed it.

But as Millwall's offense became more and more intense, they were not in the mood to discuss which team had an advantage.

The 352 formation emphasizes offensive speed.

Spanish media believe that Sevilla suppressed Mirvoor in the situation with more ball possession rate. In fact, Mirvoor's style of play is like this, and he doesn't care about how much ball possession is. They compete for offensive speed, offensive times and efficiency.

When Millwall launches an attack, he rarely passes backwards, and passes the ball to the end in one breath, shoots directly when he has the chance, and retreats quickly if he has no chance.

This style of play sounds simple, but it is very difficult to play well. First of all, to have more offensive times than the opponent, you must have tough pressing and defensive support.

In addition, offensive efficiency is a problem.

Fast offensive speed does not mean high efficiency. In many teams, the two are opposite data, because fast speed often means a high chance of making mistakes.

Millwall uses fast attack style, relying on the strong organizational ability of the midfield and the extremely high efficiency of the forward players. To put it bluntly, it relies on the strong midfield ability.

This is where Mirwall has the advantage.

Probably the Spanish media would not think so. Instead, they think that Sevilla is stronger in the frontcourt and more technical, but Sevilla players have already realized it because they have to face huge pressure when defending. Not only does the opponent have a fast offensive speed, but each player has excellent skills and is also very good in cooperation and plays accurately and smoothly, which greatly increases their defensive pressure.

In Millwall's frontcourt, two of them brought the greatest pressure, one was Sneider and the other was Braniff.

Sneider is the core of the frontcourt, and can also be called a "small assist expert". With the wings, the backcourt teammates are constantly supporting him. The Dutch gets more frequently. When he finds an opportunity, he can pass a threatening ball. Sevilla players are a little numb when they see Sneider get the ball. They need to defend very seriously, for fear of giving the opponent a chance because of a small mistake.

In addition, it is Branif.

Branif is really outstanding because he appears at the front line and is very well-guarded and the frequency of getting the ball is not high. However, whenever he gets the ball, Sevilla will be very nervous in the backcourt, because he not only cooperates with his teammates, but also has the ability to drive the ball alone. The defender player is shaken away if he doesn't pay attention. Branif also finds good opportunities twice.

Braniff's amazing performance also made Sevilla more cautious in defense.

After twenty-five minutes of the game, Sevilla players on the court had already felt the difficulties.

This Millwall is different from what I imagined.

Even though they were last season's Champions League champions, they felt very hopeful to win, but Millwall seemed to not play according to the routine and launched a comprehensive offensive.

Millwall's offense was very fast, which made Sevilla feel like he couldn't catch up.

As time passed, the media and fans in the stands realized that the game was not as easy as expected. Mirwall's offense not only had speed, but also tacit cooperation and efficiency. It is proof that the four shots have been completed so far. Sevilla's local media commented and had to say in fear, "Mirwall's speed is very fast and more efficient! Perhaps Sevilla should pay attention to the defense."

Juander Ramos also realized the problem.

As Sevilla's head coach, his team performance is considered the second "meritorial coach" in the club's history. Ramos is still very sensible. He sat on the coach's seat and saw more than others. What surprised Ramos was that Mirwall attacked quickly and smoothly, and occasionally created direct threats.

It is very difficult to do this. Even when Barcelona and Real Madrid perform well, it is difficult to quickly pass the ball to a threatening position.

How did Millwall do it?

This is not just a matter of cooperation. A ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt requires the cooperation of several players. Quick pass will not leave too much reaction time for the player. Coupled with the opponent's defensive restrictions, the player who gets the ball only has a short moment to determine where to pass the ball.

If you are a top player in the middle, you may be able to do it, but any team cannot be a top player. Even in a top giant club, the player's ability to pass is different.

Now Millwall is fighting this fast-paced, smooth, threatening offensive.

Ramos couldn't understand it any more.

If Sevilla and Mirwall were not playing in the game, he would have felt that the game process was arranged. Mirwall's offensive performance was too outstanding, completely one level higher than Sevilla.

The offensive performances of the two teams are not comparable.

Even though Sevilla's possession rate is higher, most of them are slowing down the pace, rather than producing efficiency forward transmission.

This is the difference between the two sides.

Ramos continued to watch with doubts. He watched it very seriously, and even hoped that it would be Mirwall's attack in succession before he could understand the reason.

During Ramos' "going out of the sky", Mirwall carried out several consecutive waves of offensives. Sevilla felt that the defense line was in crisis and had to retreat, but their tactics were not defensive counterattacks. When they were suppressed, they felt that they could not fight. For a moment, Mirwall gained a suppressive advantage in the situation.

Millwall was a little regretful.

The continuous offensive just now was very relaxed. When the opponent couldn't play and stabilize the defense in the backcourt, the offense seemed to break through the dense defense. The advantage was the slower the pace. They thought proudly, "Sevilla can't help but fight!"

This makes them feel proud.

In the previous two league games, the opponents used a defensive attitude. Manchester City played offensively for a while, but they were still defending most of the time. They were always fighting against intensive defense.

This game is different.

Sevilla took the initiative to launch an offensive, and both sides were in an offensive posture. Mirwall fully exerted his tactical power, and the continuous offensive made the players immerse themselves in it.
