Leverkusen wins European club competition for the first time in 36 years

Bayer Leverkusen, led by head coach Xavi Alonso, completely forgot the defeat.

Leverkusen beat AS Roma 2-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinals in the 2023/24 season at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, on the 3rd.

Leverkusen went ahead by scoring the first goal in the middle of the first half. Alejandro Grimaldo intercepted AS Roma defender Rick Karsdorf's back pass miss in the 28th minute and passed it to Florian Birtz. Birtz, who was in the penalty box, pushed it with his right foot.

Leverkusen added another goal in the second half. Grimaldo, who caught Granit Xhaka's penetrating pass in the 28th minute, passed it to Jeremy Frimpong. Grimaldo's pass passed through Frimpong and Josip Stanisic to Robert Andrich, who scored with an accurate mid-range shot.


According to soccer statistics magazine Squaka, Leverkusen set various records by winning against Roma. First of all, Leverkusen increased its official record of unbeaten matches to 47. Leverkusen won the semifinals of the European club competition in 36 years. Finally, Leverkusen became the first team to record a scoreless game in Rome this season.

Leverkusen is the biggest sensation in Europe during the 2023/24 season. Leverkusen already beat Bayern Munich to achieve its first Bundesliga title in its 120-year history. Leverkusen has yet to lose a single match this season. Leverkusen broke Juventus' record of longest unbeaten match in the 21st century (43 matches) from 2011 to 2012.

Leverkusen, which won the Bundesliga, is also vying to win the UEFA Europa League and the DFB Pokal. If Leverkusen win in all three of its competitions, it will achieve its first treble. If it reaches the UEFA Europa League final, Leverkusen will have six matches to play in this season. If Leverkusen does not lose in six matches, it will have another milestone to set. 토토사이트

Postecoglou stubbornness bogged down three consecutive losses

"Is it a set piece again?"

Tottenham Hotspur's losing route is obvious. It is homework these days to allow a goal from a set piece rather than a field goal. Following the North London derby, problems were repeated against Chelsea.

Tottenham lost 0-2 to Chelsea in the 26th round of the 2023-24 season, which ended at Stamford Bridge in London on the 3rd. Tottenham, which has been mired in three consecutive losses at the end of the season, failed to close the gap with Aston Villa (67 points) in fourth place as it remained at 60 points with 18 wins, six draws and 10 losses for a long time.

Due to conflicting opinions between the coach and the players, they could not unite as one. These days, Tottenham is in conflict with set-piece tactics. While the team has been criticized as a weakness due to its lack of well-organized defense in set-pieces throughout this season, Coach Angé Postecoglou does not put much emphasis on it.

Tottenham's set-piece has not been weak from the past. This is the part that has changed since Postecoglou took charge. Antonio Conte, a former coach, valued set-pieces very much. Conte joined hands with set-piece expert Giovanni Bio ahead of last season. The Italian coach, Bio, was famous for being a set-piece master with 4,830 set-piece tactics alone.

Currently, there are no staff members who only handle set pieces. Postecoglou seems to think that he lacks concentration. Regarding the two runs conceded in the match against Arsenal when the controversy over set pieces began in earnest, he said he needed to concentrate on defense. "There are many things we need to fix. We need to reduce the allowance of time and space for our opponents. We need to look at the bigger and wider picture while improving other details," he said, refusing to accept criticism limited to just one set piece.

"It's not the first time I've been asked about set pieces in my career as a coach," he said. "There's a reason why I don't take this issue seriously. I'm going to make a team that can succeed someday, and the way is not just set pieces."

The problem is that players are nervous. Immediately, Son Heung-min said, "Ahnall was very strong against aerial balls. If a set-piece goal is conceded in such a game, the situation will go through difficulties," adding, "I felt that I had to focus on set-pieces in big matches from now on. I need to be strong. Everyone needs to take a step forward."

Dejan Kulusevskiy said, "There was not much difference from Arsenal. However, the opponent team was more organized and calm. When I saw the loss from the corner kick, I felt that I had to strengthen in difficult situations such as set pieces. I should not have allowed the goal too easily." Defender Mickey van der Pen also said, "I am disappointed that we conceded two goals in the set piece. We have to train hard and work hard."

When there was a disagreement over the set piece, "Spursweb" said, "Tottenham's set piece problem is clear. Coach Postecoglou is always defensive about this question, but he is hoping to make a different decision internally."

In the match against Chelsea in a chaotic situation, he conceded two goals in the free kick alone. In the 24th minute of the first half, he missed Trevor Chalobah in the free kick defense and lost a point, and he was also hit by a set-fir in the second half. There was an unexpected variable that hit the post, but he failed to display concentration on the second ball.

In the end, Tottenham, which ignored the voices of the squad, increased its number of set-piece goals to 14 this season. This is the fifth Premier League club to allow more goals at set-piece this season.

According to the soccer statistics magazine Huskored Dotcom, Nottingham Forest had the most goals with 22 goals, followed by Luton Town (17 goals), Sheffield United and Burnley (16 goals). When it comes to set piece defense, the team is at the bottom of the standings. 토토사이트

Ten Hag's 'out of the blue' towards Dortmund player

Erik ten Hag 54, manager of Manchester United hereinafter referred to as Manchester United, praised Jadon Sancho 24, Borussia Dortmund, who left the team due to discord with him.

Sancho was established as one of the best players in the German Bundesliga at a young age in 2021. In the 2020/21 season, when he was just in his twenties, he scored 16 goals and 20 assists in 38 games, and Manchester United made a huge recruitment worth 85 million euros about 124.8 billion won.

Despite playing in the U.S., his adaptation to the Premier League has not been smooth. Sancho had only 12 goals and six assists in 82 matches at Manchester United during the two and a half seasons, and to make matters worse, he was classified as an out-of-strength resource due to disagreements with Ten Hag this season.

In the end, he transferred to his former club Dortmund on loan through the winter transfer market, and Sancho, who was immediately reborn as the main player, made a brilliant contribution to Dortmund's advance to the semifinals of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League.

In particular, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain PSG, which was held on the 1st, was overwhelming. Sancho led Dortmund to a 1-0 victory with 100 touches, 13 dribbles and an 88% pass success rate, while the soccer statistics media "FotMob" gave Sancho an 8.8 rating and selected him as MOM Man Of the Match.

As it is a loan transfer, he is still a member of Manchester United, and manager Ten Hag also praised Sancho.

In an interview with the U.S. media The Athletic on the 2nd, Ten Hag said, "Sancho played really well against PSG. He showed why Manchester United recruited him, which is a good thing," adding, "I'm happy and we'll see what happens in the future."

It is merely an interview praising the hired player, but local fans do not seem to like it. On the SNS, negative public opinions such as "I am showing it to Dortmund," "What are you saying without writing it?" "Manchester United's answer to Sancho is Antony," and "A player who does not match Manchester United no matter how well he is."

At this point, Sancho is unlikely to remain in Manchester United at all. Ten Hag is likely to be dismissed depending on the results of the 2023/24 England FA Cup final against Manchester City on the 25th, and if a new coach takes the helm, Sancho will also consider his future.
