"Hello everyone, everyone! Welcome to today's game. Today we will bring you the Europa League final, with both sides being Manchester United and Ajax," Liu Jiayuan said in the opening commentary.

"It is worth mentioning that Tao Jia, who plays for Manchester United, is a Chinese player who advanced to the UEFA Cup final after Lu Yunlong." Xu Yang continued to comment.

"I don't know if Tao Jia can win the UEFA Cup like Lu Yunlong."

"I'll introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, Ajax, and the official gave a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 24 Onana;

Defenders: 4 Ridwald, 5 Sanchez, 36 De Rigt, 3 Feltman;

Midfielder: 10 Klassen, 20 Scoen, 22 Ziyech;

Forwards: 11 Yunis, 25 Dorbert, 9 Traore."

"Then it comes to Manchester United, the official gave a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 20 Romero;

Defenders: 36 Damian, 17 Blinder, 12 Smalling, 25 Valencia;

Midfielder: 21 Herrera, 13 Tao Jia, 6 Pogba;

Forwards: 22 Mkhitaryan, 19 Rashford, 8 Mata.”

Cai Jian looked at the lineups of both sides, although Manchester United is even more famous.

It is also the favorite to win the championship that the outside world believes, and in Cai Jian’s memory, Manchester United seems to have won the championship.

But after looking at Ajax's lineup, he was a little weak.

Because Ajax's lineup is indeed quite strong, Norwegian striker Dorber is also a famous genius player.

But he did not meet everyone's expectations later, and he later joined Ligue 1's Nice.

Then there are two central defenders, Sanchez is the Colombia central defender of Tottenham Hotspur.

Needless to say, De Rigt will join Juventus in the future.

Then there is midfielder Ziyech, who will transfer to Chelsea in the future.

In addition to the starting list, there are two fierce players on the bench.

The two of them are Van der Beck and De Jong. One of them will go to Manchester United and the other to Barcelona in the future.

It has to be said that Ajax does produce talents. If all the young players in their lineup grow up, Manchester United will definitely not be the opponent.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Manchester United obtained the kick-off right, and after the football was opened, the pass came to Smalling's feet.

Smalling took the ball and kicked it straight, and the football flew to the right side of the opponent's half.

Tao Jia stuck the opponent's captain Classon tightly behind him, and then jumped up toward the falling football.

The football flew forward. Although Mata did receive the pass, it was quickly intercepted by the opponent.

Ajax wanted to launch a counterattack, but after passing the ball, the football returned to Manchester United's feet.

The football came to Mata's feet again, and Mata took the ball at 45 degrees on the right side outside the penalty area.

He first stepped on the football and then decisively crossed.

The football flew into the penalty area, and Mkhitaliang ran to the landing point with all his strength.

But Ajax's left winger Yunis has been confronting Mkhitaryan's body, and it is difficult for Mkhitaryan to catch up with football.

Goalkeeper Onana was also very decisive, so he chose to attack directly.

At this time the football fell down, and the three players were very close to the landing point.

But Onana could use his hands, and he punched the falling football double.

Mkhitaryan was very regretful to see this. If it weren't for Younis, he would have definitely been the first to encounter football.

"Just as soon as the game began, Manchester United launched a threatening attack!" Liu Jiayuan commented.

"If Yuniska hadn't had the position better, Ajax might have conceded the ball at the beginning of the game!"

"Hey~! Wait a minute! What happened on the field?" Something happened to Xu Yang.

At this time, Yunis actually fell to the ground, rolling back and forth, which seemed very painful.

It turned out that Yunis was all focused on Mkhitaryan before, and he stuck Mkhitaryan's position with all his strength.

So I didn't pay attention to Onana's position, when Onana jumped up and hit the ball.

Onana's knee hit Younis, but fortunately it was just a flaw.

"It's okay! It should be nothing serious." Xu Yang explained.

"The game has not yet begun one minute. If you get injured, it would be too unlucky." Liu Jiayuan continued to comment.

Manchester United fans exclaimed, thinking that the goal was about to be scored just as the game began.

Cai Jian on the sidelines focused on Tao Jia, but because of his football style.

It's hard to be the focus on the court because he's more of a defensive responsibility.

Both sides did a good job in defense today, and neither side had a chance to shoot until the 15th minute.

In the 15th minute, Ajax finally broke the deadlock with a barely shot.

Tao Jia performed well among them, and he became a trusted defender for Manchester United.

In the 19th minute, Ajax's Ziyech suddenly made a pass forward.

His pass was very imaginative and caught Manchester United off guard.

In addition, Traore's running position was also very good, which actually made Traore run out of the opportunity.

Traore stopped the ball and rushed into the penalty area. At this time, there was only one defensive player Tao Jia nearby.

Tao Jia's position is closer to the penalty area, and he is facing Traore at this time.

His feet are in front and back, facing the sidelines of the side.

This is also the basic skill of a defensive player. The advantage of doing this is that when the opponent breaks through, he can quickly keep up with the defense.

Traore dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Tao Jia also retreated.

Because he stood very well, he kept up well.

Traore had no choice at this time. First of all, there was no teammate to follow, so he could not pass the ball at all.

Secondly, the defensive players behind him also followed, and if they didn't shoot, they would be hit by a pincer.

So he has only one choice now, which is to force it.

However, Tao Jia was still steady and he shoveled directly towards the football.

Successfully tackled the football out of the bottom line and resolved Ajax's attack this time.

Teammate Blind stepped forward and quickly pulled Tao Jia. Fortunately, Tao Jia was in this ball.

Otherwise, it was hard to say, Tao Jia stood up calmly.

It was actually a bit like a general, and Cai Jian was very pleased to watch the game on the spot.

"From Tao Jia's wonderful defense, his defense made Ajax come back in vain." Liu Jiayuan commented.

"Manchester United's defense problem this time is too big. A pick-up pass actually penetrates their defense line." Xu Yang continued to comment.

"They need to pay attention to the defense. If they continue to play like this, this game may be dangerous."

It was a regret for Manchester United fans before, but this time it was Ajax's turn.

And this time Ajax's offense is even more threatening, after all, Traore received the pass.

If it weren't for Tao Jia, they would have really been ahead.
Chapter completed!
