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

[Iranus]

The team that qualified for the semi-finals after beating Barcelona at the Camp Nou has no way of being described as weak. Frankfurt is definitely a strong team. Frankfurt's performance has been poor since the start of the Bundesliga. But they had a good enough performance in Europa Legue. Their goal is to win the title. And so it will not be an easy win for West Ham at all. Frankfurt will continue to make every effort to reach the final.

The interesting thing about Frankfurt is they're have lower ball possession, but they can shoots more than Barcelona. This mean Frankfurt is really objective and can look for an opportunity to counter attack, Barcelona only focus to attack but forgot to defend. However Aubameyang recently perform very bad unlike his perform on the previous month, he seems need to get substituted, I don't know why Xavi still let him to play.

Barcelona played with their old tactics. They tried to keep the ball in their possession. On the other hand, Frankfurt's goal was to win. They could not hold the ball but attacked a lot. And they have been able to win the match because of a lot of attacks. Frankfurt's match strategy and performance were both very good.
You are right, in the last few matches we have not been getting the expected performance from Aubameyang. Barcelona needs one more experienced striker. Maybe Xavi will consider another striker next season.

Actually, the thing is Barcelona played really good football. How many of the people who actually saw that game can say, that the way Barcelona played was not beautiful?

The way Barcelona played was really beautiful and on the other hand, the way Frankfurt played the match was basically shoot if you have any chance at all. And that's really not a beautiful way to play football but I think that's not the argument here. If they win I think it doesn't matter how they win.

Indeed Westham game really reflects most of the English Premier League teams that are aggressive in attacking, but I think the pattern of Westham and Frankfurt's game doesn't look much different, if you watch the match against Barcelona in the last quarter-finals, surely you know the advantages of the Frankfurt players with speed and also a solid defense, so I think both teams might have the same big chance to reach the finals later...

Yes, the both teams are very much evenly matched, and it is going to be extremely difficult to pick a winner. Both teams (West Ham & Frankfurt) would be looking at the possibility of going all the way to the trophy, which will guarantee them a ticket to next seasons Uefa Champions League, that is going to be huge for either of this clubs if they can achieve that, but first one has to eliminate the other and make it to the final.

My money is on West Ham by the way, i think they would just edge Franfurt by the tiniest of margins, i admire David Moyes so much as well as what he is doing with this team, he has turned them to winners, and they have been winning lots of games this season, if they can win the Europa League then that will be a perfect end to a great season for them.

What you say is true, a good performance from barcelona was not accompanied by a strong mentality to bear the pressure, especially when they found out that the camp nou stadium was filled with frankfurt supporters and it seemed as if they had played away twice when they saw the situation. I also did not expect if the performance and speed of the Frankfurt players were able to destroy the barcelona defense in that match, I thought after the defeat to frankfurt barcelona would be able to bounce back in the league, but in fact they are getting worse when they have to face a team that defends and has a better mentality in the league , defeats to frankfurt in the european league and also cadiz in the league made me start to think is it possible if xavi's magic has ended now?

'

Actually, Frankfurt players did really well because they did their homework and they knew what they had to do to win this match. we can see absolutely different approaches from both the teams in that match because Barcelona played in their classic Tika Taka style and tried to keep possession of the ball. 

On the other hand, Frankfurt tried to shoot if they had any kind of chance and also they realized that Barcelona was not strong while defending in the six yard box and their pressure in that area whenever they had the ball. And I of course do not agree that this match is going to be the end of the rising that  Barcelona was in. I think we will see a lot more great football from them.

This is a common statistic when one of the teams plays ball control (which by the way is an extremely defensive tactic if you think globally) and the second is waiting for its chance and disposes of the ball effectively. Under the leadership of Xavi, Barcelona are returning to the obsolete Tika-Taka and in the future such "unexpected" results will regularly upset its fans.

Stop comparing the teams of the other fourth league against the Premier Leagues one, because as you know the teams of Premier League have a lot of adavantage over the rest, they received so much money than the other and this can do you buy better and more players. But this never do they win in Europe a lot for example; the last team in the Premier League owns the same amount of money for TV rights than the 4 team in LaLiga this is demential.
Al so teams in championship (english 2 division) receive more money than the teams in other leagues.

I would say it is not always the same though. I mean premier league teams could be getting more money, but they are also being asked more money as well. Same level of player getting paid maybe like 3 million euro in France, asks for 10 million euro in UK because he knows that they can afford it.
This is why I believe that it is both a great deal for premier league teams to be paid that much but it is also a curse since players knows how much they could get paid there. All players would love to go to UK because they will be paid more there, and that understanding causes premier league teams to overpay for players and not get anyone "that" much better.

I'm with you in that statement, previously it was the Spanish and Italian leagues that paid very well, now things have changed, I don't know if it's because of the amount of money and that there are more fans for the Premier League, but now even in South America soccer fans are talking more about the Premier League than about any other league such as the Brazilian, Argentine, Colombian, I think that the more business models continue to be developed, the more attractive it will obviously be to everyone.

I think another reason why everyone has been talking about the English Premier League is that the bigger transaction of money has brought in better players in almost every team in the English Premier League. And that's why the league has become a lot more competitive than it was before in my opinion.

Previously a lot of people have been just following only great teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool Manchester City, etc. But now almost all the team in the English Premier League has the capability of playing really well and the fan following is also becoming larger day by day.

The thing is we cannot underestimate  Frankfurt because they beat the best team in the Europa league which is Barcelona to get here. I know that Westham is a great team and they also face better competition in the English Premier League. and I honestly think they might be able to win this match but I start to have my doubts when I think that Frankfurt beat Barcelona in their previous match in Europa League. they were a little lucky but they did win.

Indeed Westham game really reflects most of the English Premier League teams that are aggressive in attacking, but I think the pattern of Westham and Frankfurt's game doesn't look much different, if you watch the match against Barcelona in the last quarter-finals, surely you know the advantages of the Frankfurt players with speed and also a solid defense, so I think both teams might have the same big chance to reach the finals later...

Westham vs Frankfurt are two teams that are not leading but made it through to the semifinals, a really great achievement shown by both teams, but honestly I am more interested in betting on Westham's win, even though Frankfurt managed to make a surprise, by beating the giants Spain, but my instincts still say Westham deserved to be in the final, even though Westham couldn't dominate the game, like against Lyon in the quarter-finals, but Westham dared to shoot on goal, from outside the penalty box, that's what I like about Westham's style of play, I would definitely bet on Westham's win.

If they made it to the semi-finals, that means something. Yes, the Germans beat Barcelona, a strong team. But if you compare the Hammers and Lyon, the so-called proportions of strength would be the same, meaning their match was equal in strength to Barcelona's match with the Germans. So the semi-final match will be very interesting, I would rather see Westham win

Yep both were an underdog team, it's very surprising. Lyon wasn't a easy team to beat, they have a good striker, but West Ham can play defensive very well. I believe when they're met, West Ham would more dominating the ball possession because I don't see Frankfurt is play dominate even against lower team. I see West Ham more likely win too, they're shoots less than Lyon, but they can manage 3 goals.

Primer League spent a lot of much money for getting transfer players and actually I think have different transfer market values between Primer League and Bundesliga more than 40%. I see West Ham United player transfer value most expensive than Frankfurt player, but that can be guarantee with West Ham United easy for defeating Frankfurt on first leg. Have dominance on quarter final when defeating Barcelona could be some thing important for West Ham United never take easy with Frankfurt on UEFA Europe League semifinal.

In this era, money is not always a guarantee for success, there have been many cases where mediocre teams beat their favorite teams. This case at least proves that the team with the larger transfer value still doesn't guarantee to win the match, if the team with the bigger transfer value guarantees the win then football will not be as interesting as it is today. Basically West Ham have a chance to qualify and win it's not about the high transfer value, in fact West Ham is a team that is currently also growing and looks stronger because it is used to more competitive competition in the EPL.

Everyone is talking about Westham and Frankfurt, but no one is talking about lepzing vs. Rangers, it's true that the English team is a club that can bring in a lot of star players, because they have more finances than other European clubs, but now lepzing's performance is more promising in their domestic league, lepzing is able to beat union Berlin, and dourtmoud, hopefully lepzing can step into the European cup final, and manage to get a prestigious trophy.

If for the issue of the West Ham United VS Frankfurt schedule, you can do a google search, but this time I will also tell you exactly where the second match will take place on 29 April 2022 in the morning.
So you still have to be patient to wait for the match to come and hopefully it will be more exciting this time because the average club left now is a mid-table club in their respective league.

Second leg: West Ham vs Frankfurt Frankfurt vs West Ham on 5 May
Second leg: Leipzig vs Rangers Rangers vs Leipzig on 5 May

At least you fix this because the leg system is a Home and Away match, friends

Apart from that all teams still have a chance and I'm highlighting Rangers now if indeed they can still continue I can't say anything other than Applause for them because indeed they can be said to be a dark horse team that was not even expected before but they are being able to get to this point is a great achievement

all the remaining teams that competed in the semifinals were surprise teams, and I think all of these teams have the same chance to advance to the final and also become champions because the quality of the teams is not much different and very balanced.

In European Soccer no doubt English teams are having some good benefit from other teams, but recently we have some very good chance and now few other teams are also performing very good like Leipzig is also one of them they are doing good job for this season and having very good spot in Bundesliga with going to face Rangers in Europa Cup semifinal which is having not easy match for any team as both can win and go through into final here I am feeling Leipzig is some better than Ranger because they face some tough opponents and done good job specially against big team like Atlanta with Ranger is also not easy but for me Leipzig is better team for final in this season.

There is not much to talk about here, as everyone believes that Leipzig will easily beat Glasgow Rangers and reach the final. And I'm sure that will be the case - by the end of the season they got into great shape and it looks like they will play in the Champions League next season. By the way, of all the remaining teams, it is Leipzig that is considered the favorite:

RB Leipzig - 2.10

West Ham United - 2.95

Eintracht Frankfurt - 6.15

Glasgow Rangers - 8.80

that's true, indeed if you look at the quality and consistency in its last few matches both in the Europa League and in the domestic league, RB Leipzig has been very consistent lately and also if you look at the remaining teams, RB Leipzig has the greatest chance of winning the Europa League this season. this. but it won't be easy because all the teams that have been in the semi-finals will put all their effort into winning and anything can happen, just as Frankfurt made a surprise by beating Barcelona.
