On Wednesday, Athletic Bilbao Club's excellent St. Mames Stadium will host the Europa League final this season, which will be the third All-English final as Tottenham Hotspur United. While the Premier League is proud of having three of the three delegates in the two European finals this season (Chelsea plays the real Betis in the conference league final), the overall sentiment is that it is a game with a strong, overwhelming atmosphere of mediocrity.
Ruben Amorim's United suffered its 18th league loss of the season after losing to Chelsea on Friday, making it the worst campaign since 1973-74, when they suffered 20 losses and were relegated to top flights. They are still in eight games in the league and are at No. 16. Meanwhile, the Spurs ranked 17th, losing 25 games in all games, giving them unnecessary records in one season, and having won a league victory since April 6.
Do I need to continue here? I think you understand. These are two terrible teams that play in a bad season without style, aggression or delivery. What are their rewards? Trophy and a glorious opportunity to book a spot in the Champions League. Neutral will express anger at the injustice of seeing the biggest European game next season, when Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest may miss it.
But when does it start to be fair? These are the rules, my friends. We should all accept this and remember the eternal task of when it comes to our game, not us writing scripts, but football itself. Whether we like it or not, this is the final.
But can I give you another idea? What if United and the Spurs actually brought us entertainment circus due to despair and the desire to get something out of this terrible season? Quote a great quote from HBO's "Game of Thrones": "Chaos are not pits, but ladders." Chaos does not mean destruction. This is an opportunity.
I expected it to be a very chaotic final with goals, tackles, multiple bookings and an overall turbulent football feel. This will be Heath Ledger's clown in the Europa League in the "Dark Knights". My advice? Just sit down and enjoy the journey.
Without further ado, this is the most chaotic XI of my two teams. It's not necessarily about my thoughts Strongest The lineup, but the most capable of providing us with the most confusing, probably the worst/best final player, I mean in the worst/best way. Many fireworks, zero calm.
Let's see what you've got, united and the Spurs. I'll be excited to prepare popcorn.
3-5-2 Constitution
GK: André Onana
I think Onana is often a scapegoat for many issues in Manchester United, but there is no doubt that he has made some expensive mistakes throughout the season, including in the quarter-finals against Lyon. In the finals of the final, I am sure the Cameroon Gate will give us - for better or worse, some moments need to be remembered.
CB: Cristian Romero
In his best case, the Argentina World Cup champion is his body and strength, and a strong presence behind it, so I only have one reason to get him on the lineup: there may be some debris in this game, and as long as there is this situation, I need Romero to be a part of it.
CB: Harry Maguire
This is effortless, isn't it? Maguire can do any of the following on Wednesday: get the shutdown title from the scene; head to the right wing, Udogie, and put a dime. Score a goal; see a red card. All of these are realistic possibilities.
It's simple: If you want drama, ignite the Maguire bat signal.
CB: Micky van de ven
My thoughts are: Spurs’ chances to win – in many ways, manager Ange Postecoglou’s fate – starts with Tottenham’s central defender partnership. On the aforementioned Romero and his Dutch partner Van de Ven Ven Ven, he is the fastest player in the Premier League and is therefore invaluable for Postecoglou's high line.
Let's look forward to some predatory runs that will bring some major headaches to Manchester United.
RWB: Amad Diallo
Diallo is one of Amorim's most important players this season, and his productivity has not continued due to an ankle injury, which has brought him back at a record time from February to late April. His sinister runs and deceptions will be the focus of Wednesday, with him preparing for Bilbao on Wednesday night in two Europa League finals (with Manchester United in 2021; 2022; with Rangers in 2022), both of which were useless substitutes).
CM: Pedro Porro
Yes I know. I know. Polo is not a midfielder, but he is Tottenham Hotspur's most forward-looking distributor. Postecoglou has problems in the midfield due to injuries to Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall, so why not put the Spanish defender in the middle of the park? At least, it can lead to great entertainment – for better or worse.
ACM: Bruno Fernandes
Without their captain, Manchester United could have faced more serious danger this season. He is their most important player in every sense, and although he hasn't done anything against the Spurs this season (they won all three games against the Red Devils this season), it's the European final, so the bets and the narrative are different. But we also know his temper, especially when things aren't going to go, which isn't even a discussion.
In this messy situation, there is a chance to see a lot of drama, and I need Fernandes in this XI.
CM: Manuel Ugarte
It's really simple. Uruguay ball-handling midfielder and Looney Tunes are equivalent to the Tasmanian devil's football match. A law enforcement officer with a certain feeling, sometimes his physical instability can put him in trouble. He performed in the first leg against the sports club but was not outstanding in the second leg and stood out in the 62nd minute.
Which version will we see on Wednesday? I need to get him on the roster to find out.
LWB: Patrick Dorg
Dorgu is a talented defender, but he has not yet adapted to the Premier League, most notably Amorim's system, which is very demanding for defenders. There will be many offensive opportunities, but on the counter? At that time, you can see a lot of competition from the Danish international team.
FW: Son Heung-Min
"I feel good and ready to go," the South Korean captain said after playing 74 minutes on Friday at Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 loss to Aston Villa. This is good news for Tottenham, but Postecoglou now has to figure out what is best for his team, because a month later, the son still feels rusty. We obviously know how good and influential the Spurs' son is, but can United take advantage of his recent action to recover? I hope the Red Devils will be completely focused on him when they are on the court.
CF: Rasmus Højlund
After a disastrous campaign (four goals in 31 league games), the Danish striker was unable to do anything. Like Onana, I think he is also a scapegoat for the club’s bad season in some ways, because for him, the distribution is barely there.
Am I expecting to be frustrated Wednesday? The mission of going all out is to do everything possible to score goals and become Manchester United's hero? Or again, like Friday's defeat against Chelsea, no more than the target's shot, and another disappointing night for the 22-year-old?
All of the above are extremely likely.
