Inspiration given by 0-2 in two games - this is the first time, I feel that the Europa League is not even as good as the Europa League

How to understand the sport of football? In other words, when a team has no impact on their rankings and trophys, no matter how victory or defeat is, will they play the same or fight for the honor of the fans and the team?

I believe that teams with different background colors will have different understandings.

Liverpool must be a team that understands it more positively. In fact, after securing the Premier League championship, Liverpool's remaining games this season are garbage time. But you can see the 2:2 battle between them and Arsenal, and it was a thrilling battle. On the one hand, Liverpool is indeed unwilling to let Arsenal go, but on the other hand, isn’t this Anfield’s soul?

Of course, there is another situation where some teams have more important fronts and tasks, so they are less concerned about the league. But, is this the reason for making a bad show?

The 36th round of the Premier League, there were many 0:2 games, among which Newcastle United played 2:0, Chelsea, and the game was very fierce. After all, both sides were competing for a seat in the Champions League. But there are two more games 0:2, how to say it? It makes people feel a little uncomfortable. To be honest, the two teams who lost 0:2 are just this kind of virtue, and the result is not surprising. Moreover, they do have more important tasks. But as mentioned earlier, this is not a reason for them to make a fuss. Or, if they are so arrogant, do they look down on them? Because, they have only this ability.

Yes, the 16th place lost 0:2 to 15th place at home, and the 17th place lost 0:2 to 12th place at home. What's the fuss about it? It's very normal.

The only thing that is a bit abnormal is that the 16th and 17th place are about to start a European final.

Yes, the Europa League is far from the Champions League, but this is the first time. I think the Europa League is even worse than the Europa League.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both giants in the Premier League and even Europe, but their meeting in the Europa League final this season is definitely a slap in the face of the Europa League, or in other words, a reverse advertisement for the Europa League.

Obviously, Manchester United and Tottenham only have each other in their eyes now, and any game before the Europa League final is a burden to them. I even feel that the three teams in the Premier League relegation zone this season are too unsatisfactory and there is no pressure on Manchester United Hotspur, so that they can succeed in relegation so early. Imagine if Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are still in the quagmire of relegation, would West Ham United and Crystal Palace win so thoroughly?

Just look at the team's background and status. The battle between Manchester United and Tottenham is no less than the battle between Paris Saint-Germain, and is even stronger, and it is even more explosive than the battle between Chelsea and Real Betis. But what about this season? In the Europa League final, two teams that will succeed in relegation will be played. When will the Europa League fall to this point?

If it is wise to bet on one front and give up other fronts, then it must be emphasized that this approach has a bottom line. Chelsea won the Champions League championship and ranked only sixth in the Premier League, which has been criticized. But at least, they are still in the first group. And Manchester United and Tottenham have become so miserable this season, it's really a bit of a bottom line. Ranking the league rankings of the six teams in the three major cup finals, the Europa League has dropped its price and dropped it to the sewer.

As the five major leagues become more and more intra-roll, the liquidity of the three major cups will actually become greater and greater. A few years ago, could you imagine Chelsea playing against the European Union? But now, what can't be imagined? Look at how many teams are now gathering in the Champions League? There will definitely be two or three people who can't get it. If you can't get a Champions League seat, then take the Europa League. Again, it's the Europa League. So in the next few seasons, the European Union will not lack wealthy families. Perhaps, from the overall strength of 36 teams, the Europa League is far from being compared with the Europa League, but in the finals, it is not necessarily stronger and better.

Finally, let's emphasize another fact - in the Europa League final, the losing side may be the most tragic team in Europe this season. You can taste it carefully.
