Naturally, Sevilla also wants to defeat Atletico Madrid and advance to the Copa del Rey final.
They are currently ranked 10th in the La Liga standings, and it will be difficult to qualify for next season's European competition through the league rankings.
And now they are in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. As long as they can defeat Atletico Madrid and advance to the final, they can qualify for the Europa League even if they fail to win the championship.
Because the opponents in the other King's Cup semi-finals are Real Madrid and Barcelona, these two teams will definitely qualify for the Champions League directly through their league rankings. Therefore, no matter who enters the King's Cup final, they will win by defeating Sevilla in the final.
The champion will not occupy the Europa League qualification, and the Europa League qualification for the Copa del Rey will be deferred to the runner-up.
It is worth mentioning that if the cup champion and runner-up have already obtained Champions League places through league rankings, the cup places will not be deferred to the third or fourth place, but will be transferred to the league. According to the league
The ranking adds another Europa League spot.
The problem now is that the two sides tied 3-1 in the first round, with Sevilla trailing by two goals in total. Although the second round is Sevilla’s home court, if they want to reverse the team with Joan Chen, they may
Sex is really not big.
But in any case, the total score difference between the two goals is not out of reach. In addition, Qiao Anchen has been in a goal drought in sports matches in the past two games. As long as Sevilla can hold the goal and score two goals, it is possible to win.
2-0 at home, 3-3 in the two rounds, plus the advantage of away goals, eliminated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the Copa del Rey final.
Whether Qiao Anchen can make a comeback or not, and whether Qiao Anchen is really stuck in a scoring drought, we will have to play in the end to find out.
On February 26, the second round semi-final between Barcelona and Real Madrid started first.
The two sides tied 1-1 in the first round, and Barcelona, which scored an away goal, was considered to have a certain advantage in promotion.
As a result, the second round turned out to be a one-sided situation. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in the 13th and 57th minutes to directly seal the victory. Varane added the icing on the cake in the 68th minute, extending the total score to 4-1.
.
There was silence at Camp Nou.
Messi, the successor of football king Maradona, did not perform well in this crucial national derby and was completely crushed by Ronaldo, who scored twice.
Barcelona didn't score a face-saving goal through a lucky ball from defender Alba until the game entered stoppage time, when Real Madrid had begun to celebrate reaching the final in advance.
In the end, Real Madrid eliminated their arch-rival Barcelona and advanced to the Copa del Rey finals of the 2012/2013 season with a total score of 1-1 in the first leg, 3-1 in the second leg, and 4-2 in both legs.
Their opponent in the final will be the winner of Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid.
At 22:00 on the evening of February 27, the second leg of the Spanish Copa del Rey semi-finals of the 2012/2013 season between Sevilla and Atletico Madrid officially started amidst the applause of more than 40,000 fans at the Pizjuan Stadium.
Atletico Madrid occupies a 3-1 advantage in the total score, so they fielded a 4231 defensive counterattack formation, with center Diego Costa, left midfielder Falcao, right midfielder Joan Chen, and midfielder Raul Garcia.
Captain Gabi and Thiago partnered as a double midfielder, the goalkeeper, and the defenders basically remained unchanged. Only the main center back Diego Godin was automatically suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards, and Daniel Diaz replaced him in the starting lineup.
This lineup is the entire main lineup of Atletico Madrid, and Simeone has shown his determination to win and cannot afford to lose.
On Sevilla's side, they sent out a 4321 Christmas tree formation. Although they were two goals behind, their strategy was to first not concede any more goals, allowing Atletico Madrid to equal their away goal advantage, and then
Another goal equalized the score and advanced with the advantage of away goals.
Otherwise, once Atletico Madrid scores a goal and erases their away goal advantage, they will have to score at least 3 goals to force overtime, and 4 goals to directly reverse the comeback.
This is too difficult.
Therefore, they deployed a formation with three defensive midfielders, trying not to let Qiao Anchen, Falcao and others score goals, and then wait for opportunities to score goals.
However, life often makes people so desperate.
After the game started, Atletico Madrid, which was leading by two goals, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for Sevilla to take the initiative and then counterattack.
Sevilla waited for a few minutes and saw that Atletico Madrid was determined not to attack aggressively, so they had no choice but to press forward and attack.
After all, they are the ones trailing with the total score now. If they don't attack and end the second round with the current total score, they will still lose.
It was precisely because of this that Atletico Madrid was so stable. And Sevilla had to take the initiative to start attacking.
This is what Atletico Madrid is waiting for.
In just the 8th minute, Atletico Madrid made a quick counterattack after getting the ball. Midfielder Raul Garcia suddenly changed position to the right wing and then dribbled the ball down and passed the ball. Diego Costa made a pass in the penalty area.
Fighting for a header.
The angle of this header was not very good, but it was very powerful. Goalkeeper Beto was unable to hold the ball directly, but barely lifted it up. As a result, he failed to lift the ball out of the baseline and just hit the crossbar and bounced back.
After changing positions with Raul Garcia, Qiao Anchen rushed into the penalty area and arrived just in time. He volleyed the ball in front of defender Facio and kicked the ball back into the empty goal.
Goalkeeper Beto, who had just saved Diego Costa's header and fell to the ground, had no choice but to watch the ball fly over his body and into the goal.
The commentators who liked Qiao Anchen all roared and shouted excitedly:
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal…”
"The ball is in!"
"Qiao Anchen!"
"Qiao Anchen completed the follow-up shot and kicked the ball saved by the goalkeeper into the empty goal."
"4-1, Qiao Anchen helped Atletico Madrid expand the total score to 4-1, and also scored an away goal, which erased Sevilla's away goal advantage."
"The so-called Qiao Anchen's goal drought has obviously become a joke. It is just an occasional ups and downs in form."
"Today, the terrifying Qiao Anchen is back again."
"Next, even if Sevilla scores three goals in a row, it will only equalize the total score, but there will no longer be the advantage of away goals, and the two sides will have to enter overtime."
"And in this process, once Atletico Madrid scores another goal, the one with the away goal advantage will become Atletico Madrid."
"Then the game can be declared to end early."
"Even now, it is almost impossible for Sevilla to catch up with the three-goal deficit."
"Unexpectedly, in just 8 minutes of the game, Qiao Anchen had already helped Atletico Madrid to basically kill the suspense of the game."
