Chapter 406: European Super Cup

Georgia is a small country located on the coast of the Black Sea. Although they have joined the European side of various international organizations, in fact, Georgia should be on the Asian territory in terms of geographical location.
　　 Of course, this situation is more common in the border areas of Europe and Asia.
　　Russia and Turkey are the most typical countries.
　　 Most of their territories are on the Asian continent, but they have always been European countries.
　　 In addition to Russia and Turkey, the two more famous ones, there are Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus and Israel. These five countries are also in the same situation.
　　Especially Israel, they are really completely on the Asian continent, and they have nothing to do with Europe.
　　 In addition to the convenience of football, Kazakhstan is also an Asian country that has joined UEFA.
　　 In addition, Little Japan also proposed to leave Asia and enter Europe very early, but it has never been realized.
　　 On August 11th, the European Super Cup of the year in the evening local time of Georgia officially kicked off at the Tbilisi National Stadium in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
　　The reason why the start time is so late is mainly because Georgia is located at the border of Europe and Asia, and there is still a clear time difference with Europe. In order to take care of European fans watching the game, the time is deliberately set relatively late.
　　Before the start of the game, commentators from various countries were also discussing the winning derby.
　　 "From the overall strength of the team, Liverpool is definitely better than Sevilla."
　　 "But from the experience of the Super Cup, Sevilla is the more dominant side."
　　 "Sevilla defeated the Champions League champion Schalke 04 in the Super Cup last year. Most of the team members have participated in that Super Cup game."
　　 "As for Liverpool, this is the first time they have come to participate in the European Super Cup after a lapse of ten years. At present, from players to coaches and even owners, no one in the team has experience in the Super Cup."
　　 "It is also worth mentioning that in the 2005 European Super Cup ten years ago, Liverpool defeated the Russian team CSKA Moscow 3-1. That happened to be the last time a Premier League team won the European Super Cup."
　　 "Since then, the Premier League teams have participated in the European Super Cup three times, all of which have been lost."
　　 "Manchester United lost to Zenit St. Petersburg in 2008. In 2008, Chelsea participated in the European Super Cup for two consecutive years, but lost to Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich."
　　 "I have to say that because Liverpool have had a period of decline, they may not be as good as Manchester United in terms of the number of Champions League games, but they are the stable No. 1 in the Premier League when it comes to European champions."
　　 "6 Champions League champions, 3 Europa League champions, 3 European Super Cup champions, these are all the most Premier League teams."
　　 "In addition, if Liverpool win the European Super Cup again this year, they will catch up with Barcelona and become the team with the second most wins in the European Super Cup by winning four times."
"At the same time, since 2003, there has been a strange law in the European Super Cup. The Champions League champion wins the odd-numbered years, and the Champions League wins the even-numbered years. It has been twelve years now. This law is still Never expired."
　　 "So if Liverpool succeed in winning this year, this law will continue."
　　 Since 2003, the Champions League champions in odd-numbered years have won the Champions League, and the even-numbered European Union champions have won the championship. This is indeed an inexplicable metaphysics.
　　 For this European Super Cup, Klopp still arranged a lineup similar to the first round of the Premier League, except that Lovren replaced Gomez in the starting lineup.
　　 On the Seville side, they arranged a 4231 formation.
　　 Goalkeeper: Beto;
　　 Defenders: Tremolinas, Criccioviak, Rami, Cork;
　　 Midfielder: Banega, Krondelli;
　　Avant-garde: Bitolo, Ivola, Reyes;
　　 Forward: Gamero.
　　 With a whistle from the Scottish referee Corum, the European championship derby has officially started.
　　 At the beginning of the game, Liverpool showed a strong desire to win.
　　 In the 3rd minute, Mane took the ball in the frontcourt, and forced to accelerate once into the penalty area to complete the push.
　　 Sevilla’s Portuguese goalkeeper Neto didn’t seem to have recovered from the start, did not make a save, and watched the ball roll from his feet into the goal.
　　 "Goooooal~~~~~~~"
　　 "Mane, this great guy from Senegal, he scored in the first three minutes."
　　 "Liverpool bought him to fill the vacancy left by Sterling, but he did better than expected, at least his scoring ability is stronger than Sterling."
　　 The English commentator cheered loudly, and Uncle Slag on the sideline was even more excited and punched continuously, looking quite excited.
　　 This European Super Cup is also the first time for Uncle Zha. Of course, he also hopes that he can have another championship honor.
　　 Liverpool scored at the start, and everything seemed to be going well.
　　 But soon, Sevilla showed their strength, why they are the king of the Europa League.
　　 Emery yelled a few words from the sidelines, not sure if it activated the team's offensive code, and then Sevilla scored consecutive goals.
　　 In the 15th minute, Reyes made a free kick in the frontcourt and Banega scored a direct free kick to equalize the score for Sevilla.
　　 Although Reyes is no longer the kid who played football on a motorcycle now, he still has some strength, at least for a team of Sevilla's level.
　　 There is also Argentine Banega. In the Copa America final a month ago, this guy’s penalty kick was saved by Bravo without quality, which directly caused Argentina to lose the Copa America final.
　　 And now, he has become brave, kicking free kicks is more accurate than penalty kicks.
　　 Sevilla equalized the score, Liverpool was not too nervous, after all, he is superior in strength and has a psychological advantage.
　　 In the next 28 minutes, Bitolo made a pass from the sideline, and Reyes moved away from Klein and stepped forward and shot the ball into the Liverpool goal again.
　　 Now Liverpool was a little anxious and easily got a dream start, but then the opponent scored two consecutive goals to reverse the score.
　　 Klopp on the sidelines was so angry, he kept shouting excitedly, asking his players to be steady.
　　 is only one goal behind~EbookFREE.me~ Liverpool still has a chance, and there is still plenty of time for the game, but first of all, you can't worry, you can't lose the ball.
　　 Li Chenglong, as the captain on the field, began to call the whole team and let everyone act according to the coach's will.
　　 In this situation, the Liverpool team is somewhat stable.
　　 But Sevilla's morale was high and they launched a series of attacks, unexpectedly, at the end of the first half, they scored again.
In the 44th minute, French full-back Tremolinas sent a cross from the side. Bitolo was pulled by Lovren when he headed for the center. The Spaniard lay down on the ground and the Scottish referee immediately sounded the whistle. A penalty was awarded and Lovren was shown a yellow card.
　　 "Mr. Referee, that's not a foul, it's just a normal defensive physical confrontation!!"
　　 Li Chenglong immediately stepped forward to explain, but to no avail.
　　 Li Chenglong was originally played in the Super League. The Scottish referee Columb also played several of his games. Everyone knows each other, so the other side should explain it seriously.
　　 "Your people have stretched out their hands. This is not allowed by the rules. This is an action to prevent your opponent from attacking in the penalty area."
　　 Anyway, this penalty kick for Liverpool is sure.
　　 Sevilla, France forward Gameiro came out to take the penalty kick. Although Mignolet bet in the right direction, he still failed to save the penalty.
　　 In this way, Sevilla scored another goal, leading Liverpool 3:1 directly in the first half.
