⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[hahay]

Covid-19 started taking control of football again. There are already some players who are trying to get well because of getting covid-19. And there are so many matches currently to be postponed. I wonder if the situation can be under control until the European tournaments continue from they left. Otherwise, we could see many games to be postponed in the Europa League and the other big tournaments also.

Just happening with domestic league because they running on every week and now most impact with many match postponed, primer league have three match have postponed because their player got covid 19 and I hope champion league or Europe League can running well because begin next stage on February, still have two months and hope covid 19 could be gone forever.

That is the hope of all of us but we will not know how long this surge of covid19 will last, the UEL and UCL tournaments will return in the second month of next year and of course there is still time for them to overcome this problem. But if I see that at least there are leagues that are running normally at the moment, maybe they will be able to deal with it quickly so that this tournament will continue to run normally. If until this UEL event there are still impacts caused by covid19, then of course it will make all match schedules postponed due to problems that have not been resolved and are increasing.

In particular, regions in European countries returned with quite worrying impacts and hampered the course of matches which had been postponed several times due to the peak condition of Covid 19. In fact, if you look at this, this is the most ideal season to return to playing matches. Because in 2020 it has been delayed and our time has to go back to having a bad mood.

Covid problem will continue to be a problem not only in sports but in the world. Everytime a new covid comes and just effects the world. I think before the playoffs starts its gone a calm down and we will see not many players infected so i think we will have the second part of the tournaments finish without any problems

I myself expected it but it seems this variant of the omicron is more vicious than imagined.
If we look at there are several in the EPL team who are indeed affected by this virus and the worst thing now is Tottenham Hotspur.
In addition, other domestic leagues cannot be calm because there are indeed several teams in other top leagues who are affected by this.

I think the problem is not so much this new variant, but the attitude that many countries, like the UK, had towards Covid. They started acting as if the pandemic no longer existed, and this is the result. They lowered their "guard" and are now suffering these consequences.

Either way this is not just a problem in EPL. Championships from other countries are also seeing several clubs with a large number of infected.

What I've been wondering all this time is how can a new virus variant develop quite rapidly, even though it can be said that many countries in the world are still implementing very strict health protocols for the community?
I hope that what happened to the players and staff of tottenham and other clubs can be resolved soon, because if this new variant of the virus spreads widely, of course  this season we will see the competition stop, so far football clubs have implemented health protocols and of course this needs to be returned improved so that no more players or staff are infected with the virus.

I'm not used to seeing Barcelona in the european league, but it is what it is. In principle they have about two months to prepare for the match, maybe something will work out with a new coach, but we have to look closer to the case will be. So far I still see it as a favorite, despite the relatively good form of Napoli.

everything is still possible, now it's up to the players and their new coach whether they really want to do a little extra to be able to at least make up for the losses when they lose and get knocked out in the UCL.
because indeed 2 months can be used as a turning point and they will definitely look more different with the addition of players who do have to rest because of the injury storm

Well, I think they will not have to get used to the new coach, they will be on the same wave, because not so long ago the coach himself ran in a Barcelona uniform on the field, but some new tactics may have to get used to, but excuse me, this is soccer, there is always need to invent new tactics, otherwise you can not play great. I can't say that all two months will be spent exclusively on preparing to the Europa League matches, there will be everything together

Covid19 again having some big troubles for many clubs in England because they were happy with vaccination, but now they already did with just because of their soft policies as suddenly having some serious problems for them as many matches are postponed with too many players positive with this which is really matter of worry other countries are doing some better and having closed doors for fans and some stick rules for players are good as they are doing some better but here it is really starting as a big trouble because in next few days if it increases like this then maybe they all forced to play behind closed doors or having again suspension because safety always first, and now we have next world cup in winter which is also issued, so let's watch how they manage this all now.

It will be interesting to see how all these international games will be handled if Omikron really hits as hard as some of the prediction models suggest right now. If that is the case, it probably isn't even possible to play those games on neutral grounds as the teams aren't allowed to return to their countries and just keep on training and playing like normal. That's going to be a rough couple of months in early 2022.

I agree with the people who think that coronavirus can be a big threat to the tournaments like the Europa League too. There is still a long time for the games actually. But we don't know where this terrible situation will come to an end. I hope that we can watch the Europa League games properly also. I'm really looking forward to watching both games of the Barcelona - Napoli matchup.

We have some good things that no other country is facing trouble with this just England is having some dramatic rise in cases and its just because of their overconfidence policies which bring them back on verge of shut down because record number of cases reported which is not good sign all other countries still having very hard rules about SOP's, so they are in better shape lets check now how they handle this all because now they have some good time for handling this all and bringing back some hard policies for better results otherwise another shut down is going to kill small businesses and many other peoples living in middle-class and lower class because this is not easy to handle this all in current situation.

this may have happened because there were already several matches held with supporters on the pitch.
even if they strictly enforce the protocol, there are still one or two that are not well-netted.
on the other hand many people who already feel free from this virus and confidently without protection go to the stadium.
I hope this will be over soon and hopefully the other matches won't be disturbed

I'm excited about the Barcelona vs Napoli draw the most. It is really going to be like a Europa League final match. Until that time, I wonder if these teams both will keep a good form and boost their morale as much as possible. If we consider the current look of the teams, Barcelona are one step behind Napoli. Because they don't seem very reliable by their game. But this could change in time if they make a big effort.

I think it comes real down to whether or not the Barcelona players can get used to the fact that they are playing Europa League and not Champions League. Especially players like Jordi Alba or Pique may have a hard time to motivate themselves to give their very best as it is a brand new situation for them. Maybe it is even good that their opponent is Napoli so it doesn't feel that bad.

As right now Barcelona is struggling badly in La Liga they need to go ahead strongly with this because if their players give their best then surely they can win this title and having spot in next season's Champion League very easily otherwise they need to do some very hard task for having spot in Champions League next year with currently staying in 7th rank with chance of dropping at 8th because their next match is against inform Sevilla which already beat Atlético Madrid at home and now can beat them at home without any serious trouble.

But, no one can give his prediction about these matches as Napoli is also having very good form after losing few points now they are also back on winning track and can beat any good team on their day.

Yes Napoli has just beaten Milan in an away game so that is a real calibre Barcelona will be dealing with. Playing against Barcelona in the Europa League, you really have nothing to lose. All the pressure is on Barcelona. If they want to save the season in the slightest, the only chance they have is to win this title.

And I think that this season, it's Barcelona that needs a good result in the Europa League, otherwise they will have one of the worst times in their history.
In Spain, they are not even in a position to allow access to European competitions. Of course that will change for sure, but things are a bit complicated.

[Cafex]

Napoli really have a bigger level of performance than Barcelona now. And it must push Barcelona to work harder to get well-prepared for the matchup in the Europa League. They have no luxury to underestimate any of their opponents now. They are already struggling and things will get worse for them if they don't do something about it immediately. They need to improve their results in their domestic league firstly.

I hope that Napoli really came out of the crisis, but it's too early to say about it - they won only one serious match after a long unsuccessful streak. But in any case, this meeting will take place only in mid-February - by that time a lot may have changed, but I suppose that both clubs will rather be busy with business inside the home championships and will not focus on the Europa League.

[ILuckyGuyI]

One of the teams that I'm curious about what they will do in this tournament from now on are Dortmund. They are definitely one of the favourite teams for winning the Europa League title. I didn't like their performance in the Champions League too much. But in this tournament, they can have a big chance for the title as long as they keep a good form. Actually, Dortmund don't need to win this tournament to be able to join the CL. Because they are already comfortable in the Bundesliga about qualifying for the CL. But we are still talking about a title in the end and Dortmund might want to reach it.
