UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[shogun47]

But it is a strategy that can work out as we have seen against Bayer Leverkusen. Roma literally didn't even try to score, their game was all about destroying the opponent's game, not creating a game themselves. The only issue I have with this is that there are too many elements that have nothing to do with the sport itself or with being smart. When a player is lying on the ground every few minutes, it isn't smart in my opinion and it also isn't good strategy. It is destroying the game and the purpose for which the fans paid money to go into the stadium. When I want to see people lying around in pain I can visit hospitals.

It's smart strategy. It doesn't matter what strategy that being used as long as it can give trophy and that's the main purpose in football. You will be known as a part of history if you were winning the trophy but you will be also known as a loser if you were losing in the final. Your fans will be singing chants to praise your team no matter what strategy used by its coach. Jose has proven itself boring football can beat beautiful football and why not?
Did you think play beautifully and then lose the game is the main purpose of the football? Football is about winning trophy. Losing the trophy will make you to be called as looser. The fans will be so grateful if their favorite clubs were winning trophy.
If you lose and the club who win the trophy will be mocking you. The name of club will be remember in the history as long as the club has ever won the trophy.

All of strategies that used by mourinho are smart strategy.

I thought it would be better to not answer your post, but I can't hold back... As a fan I can repeat myself that I want to see a soccer game and not people lying around on the pitch pretending to be injured. That has nothing to do with the sport. It is part of the sport, that is correct, but is it a good part of that sport? I prefer games where two teams play with the goal to generate some action during the game, not acting. Action, not acting! Those are two different things. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona was action even when there were fouls and emotions, that's ok and that is part of the game and should be part of the game. But behaving like a barbie falling down every few minutes and crying, you can't really like that and call it "smart". It is shameful and that is the major reason why a player like Neymar is frequently getting the bird.

When someone goes for an obvious dive and hasn't been touched by an opponent, gets a penalty, scores it and wins a trophy, you would call that smart? I would call it unsportsmanlike. Everything that happens on the pitch to save time while playing soccer, I think that's ok. Keeping the ball within your team in a smart way, winning corner kicks by kicking the ball against the opponent, there are many tricks to win time. But diving or falling on the ground pretending you are injured and then jump up again and play like nothing has ever happened, that isn't smart. That's bullshit.

I don't consider Jose Mourinho a great coach, I've said it several times. But Roma are not an easy team to deal with (well before the special one came)
So I wouldn't take Sevilla's victory for granted.

Roma can win..

although Mourinho plays a more defensive game strategy. but that's the way Mourinho used to suppress aggressive teams. but Sevilla has a different type of game. Mourinho will definitely use a different strategy.
the odds offered by bookies are also attractive nowadays. but this gamble will definitely make gamblers confused. Roma is superior to some comments by football observers. I will also support Roma.

Mourinho is not a great coach if you want to have sexy football and want to have a sustainable team like 5 years or longer. A great coach like that is Pep, Klopp as they always want to have sexy football from their players and they talk about their players in more friendly words. I read many times that Pep is not an easy coach to work with and he hides his plan with players but he is clever to create internal drama like Mourinho.

Roma can win with 50% chance. I am like stupid to say this but they don't have bigger chance because Sevilla are strong too and Roma can not be considered as stronger than Sevilla.

Sevilla has Spanish style and will play attacking football with high ball possession. They are very different than Roma that will play defensive and wait for chances from either Sevilla mistakes or counter attacking. After two seasons, Roma players digested their defensive and counter attacking tactics of Mourinho good and they are able to use it good enough in the final match.

Roma have coaches who are very experienced in all European competitions and have also handled several other strong European teams, while Sevilla they are only mentally strong as champions and their history in European league competition is proven by their collection of the most trophies to date.

Humbly, I would also prefer what Mourinho will do in the future and as for the odds I don't think it matters even if it's just slightly different. We know Mourinho's capacity so far and he was often able to get rid of his strong opponents against Roma and Sevilla, maybe luck has run out against Juventus in the previous game.

[hahay]

Europa League specialists Sevilla into the final once again with a 2-1 victory over Juventus. The year 2006 was the first time Sevilla won the Europa League trophy and Sevilla have won the Europa League a record 6 times. And this season they will play the final again. Sevilla's run to a seventh Europa League trophy.

Also, it looks like Sevilla is the team that has won the most Europa League titles so far because in fact, Sevilla have also won the Europa League title for three consecutive seasons. So yes, I can say Sevilla has good quality and chances here in the Europa League, so even though Sevilla's performance in the local league is not good, but Sevilla is still getting good results in the Europa League.

What's more, Sevilla managed to eliminate strong candidate teams in the Europa League this season, such as Manchester United and Juventus. With such a result, of course Sevilla will still have a good chance to beat AS Roma in the final match later. But yes, I am also aware that AS Roma has a great coach like Mourinho who certainly will have no doubts about his quality in the title race.

[Davian144]

Yeah i agree Roma serie A performance and europa league performance are two different things, it will be a tough game for sure i think its 50 50 if i had to bet i would put my money on mourinho team because a final is different than the knock out stage and the better team doesn't allways win sometimes it comes down to the coach choices.

I think for the final match this time in the Europa League it doesn't only depend on the strategy of the coach, but also has a bit of a motivational effect when playing at home like Sevilla, although I also believe that Roma will try to show their skills better in the final for the sake of won the trophy this season. It's just that the enthusiasm and motivation of the Seville players are also greater in this final because they will be competing at home with quite a lot of supporters.

Mentality from the squads owned by any clubs will be tested here. Im sure that if mourinho has been preparing a good strategy to face sevilla very soon. Roma has been getting so many motivation after it was winning conference league last season.
Roma goes to the european final two times in a row and it was also booting the mentality from the players to play in the final against sevilla.

What kind of strategy that will be used by mou? Defense, hybrid or offense? I guess it will be a defense. The main mission owned by mourinho to make sevilla's players frustated first.
Roma will get a chance to win the game once all of sevilla attacks will think if they were not able making goal against roma.

It's just that the enthusiasm and motivation of the Seville players are also greater in this final because they will be competing at home with quite a lot of supporters.

The next match gonna be happening in puskas arena which was official stadium from hungary's national team. I think that if there will be no away or home here.

If you look at the history of the European League, Sevilla deserves to be proud because they are the most accomplished team in the second caste competition in Europe. But for this edition of the final match I will not stick to that history, because Roma, who lack experience, also have great motivation on the European stage. Jose Mourinho became the difference in that match, thanks to his experience Roma transformed into a new force that deserves respect.

Apart from that, what makes the final match very tight this time is because these two teams both carry the ambition to win the championship and automatically get a direct ticket to the Champions League. Both of these teams also have no hope in the domestic league to be able to get a Champions League ticket, so this final will be a top priority for Sevilla and Roma.

Sevilla is has the best experience of the league than Roma and I will say that they also know how to win the final game because it isn't something new to them anymore. Sevikla do take this league very serious and I will say they are in a good form currently too to face whatever pressure of tactics that Mourinho and his men will come up with.

On the other hand Mourinho will want to prove himself that he is still a world class coach and will do everything possible and he will also come up with his best tactics that he will use to win the game. This fight is between two lions because getting to the finals is not an easy task it means that you are good to get there and not by mistake. I don't think I can predict the club that will win yet.

I think whatever Mourinho brings, he will bring knowing full on well what he is going to do and that matters a lot. There are tons of people who would consider this as a wrong thing because you can't just make a tactical change on the finals. But he has done that before and it has worked, he is the type of manager that changes the system based on who they face, which means that he is going to end up being something that is a lot better.

I understand that it is not going to be that easy, we need to realize that whatever he does, he does it knowing full on well a few steps ahead. Roma might still lose, there is no guarantee that they will win, but I am sure that Mourinho will do his best to make Sevilla work as hard as possible for that win.

Mourinho's experience may never be of much help to Roma if the players are too afraid to go forward like they did against Leverkusen. Defending like that is very tiring and every player has to avoid even the slightest mistake, so I don't think this kind of strategy would be very useful if Mourinho used it in the final.

I hope both teams attack and score goals against each other. I don't want Roma to focus on defense and only use counter-attacking schemes to score goals, it will only be damaged if Sevilla can score first instead of Roma. On my part, Sevilla is the most likely title candidate to win the Europa League final based on their record.

[nara1892]

I think it's not a problem when a coach implements a total defensive strategy, whatever strategy he applies as long as it doesn't violate the rules then it can be used. Indeed, maybe it will look monotonous because it makes the game uninteresting or monotonous, but that's part of the strategy. However in reality he managed to put AS Roma in the final and it was a great result for them. It is the task of the opposing team to rack their brains on how they can dismantle the total defense implemented by AS Roma.

Sevilla were able to break down the defence of Juventus, who are as good as Roma. Juventus have constant defensive tactics, these clubs are similar to Roma. Sevilla are in great form right now and they are hugely motivated. Roma have not yet had an opponent as strong as Sevilla this Europa League season.

Actually, seeing things like this, we have to be aware of what schemes the opponent is carrying out.
Juventus in their match in Leg 2 carried out a strategy that actually wasn't too defensive in my opinion and of course this would be a little different if Rome did a full defensive strategy like they always do.
We know Mourinho always does a slightly boring strategy to achieve their target and it's not impossible in this game as well because I think it's the best way for them because Roma know if they are impulsive they will fail in the end so it's a boring way to save all players in the defense area are still very likely to happen for Roma.

So far, I won't assume to go too far. because, we are not sure what the two coaches will do to prepare their team for the final match later. but what is certain, these two teams have almost the same chance to win the Europa League trophy. It doesn't matter about Sevilla's good record in this competition, because AS Roma will not let their opposing team win this match easily. Moreover, this fight is the final match.

Anyway, if we refer to the odds available for now. there is no team that is more favored by bookies, either Sevilla or AS Roma. Sevilla has odds @2.60, while AS Roma has odds @2.90. most likely, the match will go to extra time if we refer to the odds of a draw with @2.75. well, referring to what the bookies have provided for now, this match indicates that the final match will take place quite tough and there is potential for a penalty shoot-out. but if I had to choose, I prefer AS Roma has the potential to win this competition trophy.
by the way what I said is only a temporary assumption, the fact is that we will dig deeper if we have the latest information regarding the two teams in the match later.

[terrorJR]

Mourinho has one advantage and that is not necessarily the experience, but the willingness to accept a 0-0 draw and penalty kicks. Sevilla won't want that and as long as Roma can keep a clean sheet, Mourinho knows that Sevilla will get impatient and perhaps lose their nerves at some point.

Speaking of experience I think that Sevilla does not need to hide. There is a good number of players who have participated in and won huge finals, even the World Cup final 2022. Mourinho's experience alone won't win them the game, but when they have a bit of luck and can get Sevilla to be despaired, the momentum will be in favor of Roma. I fear that could be his game plan.

Sevilla will not hold back in this final because they are also aware that surely Mou will carry out the defensive strategy that they always do and with an initial prediction like this, they will surely make several things to be able to beat Roma in the final later.
Actually, when Sevilla managed to score at least 1 goal with Mou's scheme, it was very good because of course Mou would like it or not to change the scheme they were doing and this could be another opportunity. Just waiting to see if Sevilla can beat Roma with their boring scheme or not.

I will not stick to the history of their meetings in the previous year because this season it is clear that these two teams are quite different in their form in the Europa League and I am still quite sure that Roma can overcome Sevilla in the final this time. Sevilla is indeed a team that has the best rally in the Europa League, but that doesn't mean they will beat Roma easily because Roma under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho has been able to appear quite impressive in the Europa League this season.

The journey of the two teams to reach the Europa League final this season was quite impressive, even though Roma passed through not as heavy an obstacle as Sevilla but anything can happen in the final later. Not only a great coach but Roma want to show their success in the europa league after their previous success in the european conference league.

Interesting video but it is far in the past, 3 years ago. Many things changed in both clubs in three years. Sevilla look to become weaker and Roma become stronger in those years. Result can be different in the final match in Budapest.

UEFA requires guests to login in order to watch videos. I don't like this approach and they can collect our information and sell it for money.

I will not stick to the history of their meetings in the previous year because this season it is clear that these two teams are quite different in their form in the Europa League and I am still quite sure that Roma can overcome Sevilla in the final this time. Sevilla is indeed a team that has the best rally in the Europa League, but that doesn't mean they will beat Roma easily because Roma under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho has been able to appear quite impressive in the Europa League this season.

Roma got big improvement in last two seasons with Mourinho and clever transfer strategy. Sevilla were still good in the past season but in this season, they have problems and are weaker. Their final will not be decided by their history and their past meeting result. It will be decided by their present and their performances in that match.

With latest changes in both clubs, the final match will be very balance based on their quality and their forms in this season as well as recent forms.

The journey of the two teams to reach the Europa League final this season was quite impressive, even though Roma passed through not as heavy an obstacle as Sevilla but anything can happen in the final later. Not only a great coach but Roma want to show their success in the europa league after their previous success in the european conference league.

They both have impressive performances in Europa League even they both have difficulties in their domestic leagues. Only one last match to take the crown and they both want to be winner and not only this, being a winner will help them to participate in Champions League with a special slot for Europa League champion.

[JeffBrad12]

Mourinho's experience may never be of much help to Roma if the players are too afraid to go forward like they did against Leverkusen. Defending like that is very tiring and every player has to avoid even the slightest mistake, so I don't think this kind of strategy would be very useful if Mourinho used it in the final.

I think that if making intensive attacks were also very tiring. If you were aware about how many times the team that used fully defensive strategy was able making its comeback against a team that played with the ball possessions combined with the intensive attack/ I remind you that once the team was going full attack and sometimes they will forgot if they have something important to defend its own field.

So many clubs that were going to be full attacks are very often losing their focus. It was making the club that used defensive strategy was able making counter attack feel more efficient.

Not only a great coach but Roma want to show their success in the europa league after their previous success in the european conference league.

Even though last season Roma won the European Conference League title, I think the Europa League will certainly be very different. Roma only proved that they could beat Feyenoord with a score of 1-0 in the final which is actually far more accurate to say as luck considering that Feyenoord was very good at dominating attacks and games. Roma tend to defend and counterattack, so I don't think that kind of luck will always be with them this season in the Europa League final.

Sevilla is very experienced and has great motivation to win the final. Mourinho's strategy is clearly about defending after getting the first goal, but if Sevilla manage to do it first then Roma will be in big trouble.

[Pokapoka124]

I don't want to rush to say who will win, because I consider this match to be balanced for the two teams. It is possible that the way they reached this final, Sevilla is a very extraordinary team by eliminating Manchester United and Juventus, but they also finished the match in 2 legs. Whereas now there is only one match that will determine everything.

Jose mourinho has been facing sevilla so many times and i guess that just saw the previous match of sevilla will give a clue for the special one about the weakness spot that owned by sevilla at this moment. As roma can use the experience that owned by mourinho to win the game against sevilla. the chance becomes even higher since mourinho has ever being a coach for real madrid. He has been in la liga for several years in the past.
Im sure that if jose knew so well about the main characteristic from the spanish football.

Even mourinho didn't wanna try to see his club being favored candidate to win the trophy. it seems like that the match gonna be a very interesting match.
It will be coming next week. I'll be waiting for another trophy that will be won by mourinho and its club.

This will also continue the good record in his career.

Who isn't buzzing for the upcoming big match, huh? The Special One taking on Sevilla - feels like a footie thriller, right? Mourinho, our shining star, knows his way around Spanish turf from his Real Madrid days. Maybe this inside info is Roma's ace in the hole? But let's remember, Sevilla ain't some random team. They've shown their strength, crushing the dreams of Man Utd and Juventus. Though, with Roma not in top form, Mourinho's got his hands tied. Feels a bit like bringing a knife to a gunfight, yeah? The kicker here is, The Special One hasn't lost a final yet. This Portuguese stirrer always has a trick up his sleeve! Can he do it again? All I can say is, get your snacks sorted, cause this is gonna be one hell of a match!

I think this will be a tough and interesting game, Sevilla on one end have a good record competing in this competition, they have played 6 finals and won all 6 while Roma are influenced by an experienced winner who also has a good knowledge of winning finals but in my opinion I feel Sevilla have better chances in this game than Roma statistically, the end with justify who is better though.
