Europa League for the Russian fans began on Tuesday, 16 February. Events match “Fenerbahce” – “Locomotive” predictably went beyond the scope of football. Dmitry Tarasov act stirred up the public so that anyone could easily forget that the main events in the second most important European club tournament unfold on Thursday, February 18th. To understand, especially can attract attention in the remaining 15 matches of 1/16 final of Europa League
«Sparta.” – “Krasnodar”. The answer “Krasnodar” Moscow and St. Petersburg?
After the defeat of “Locomotive” and “Zenith” in the first play-off matches of the Europa League and the Champions League after the Russian club football to defend the “Krasnodar”. On the “bulls” had the important mission – to save the country’s chances for sixth place in the table of coefficients, which gives the right to declare the three teams in the Champions League and the same in the Europa League. Once Russia has occupied the sixth place (in 2010), but then the three teams in the group stage of the Champions League and have not played – “Zenith” conceded in qualifying, “Auxerre”. Confront the Trust Oleg Kononov will be good famous Prague “Sparta” in Russia. The most titled Czech club for the past 10-15 years regularly come across Russian teams in European competition and more often lost than won. In the season-2015/16 “Sparta” played with CSKA Moscow in the Champions League qualification and almost equal fight lost to (2: 2, 2: 3).
«Krasnodar» has considerably fewer evrokubokovogo experience than his opponent, but still is a favorite of the confrontation. Players who played for the team of Galich and Kononov, masterovitee their colleagues from Prague, but whether they have enough silenok in the first match after the winter break? Matches “Zenith” and “Locomotive” is set to a not very optimistic mood.
«Fiorentina” – “Tottenham”. The battle is almost top clubs
not the first year brings lots of these teams in the Europa League. Last season, they met at the same stage of the tournament, and then the Italian club was stronger, winning on aggregate with a score of 3: 1.
These commands a lot in common: both from one year to apply for a place in the Champions League, but each time stopped on the outskirts. Both claim to be the top club, but a little before it nedotyagivayut. And both in the current season, at last, have a really good chance of the highest places in their respective leagues. “Tottenham” at once, and at all by mid-February remain a real contender for the title. When this was the last time? Remember not all, even the most devoted fans of the club.
At the stage of 1/16 rate is not too high, because there is no guarantee that we will see the same attitude in the performance of both teams that they show in their national championships. Despite this, the opposition promises to be extremely intriguing and can answer a number of questions. One concerns Harry Kane. 22-year-old striker has confounded those who called him a star one-day. Several goals against “Fiorentina” will help him get rid of one more label -. A striker for internal use
«Borussia” D – “Porto”. Who will score?
If this confrontation happened in the quarter-final stage of the Champions League, it would not be a single person in the world who would have thought it was strange. “Borussia” and “Port” – clubs that without any exaggeration be called the giants of European football, and not the past and the present.
If among the football fans there are those who are not sick or for one of the teams playing in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, it’s definitely worth watching for select meeting of the “Borussia” – “Porto”. On Thursday, the “Westfalenstadion” is really attacking football. Both teams play differently simply can not. Under the leadership of Tuhelj “Borussia” freshened up and began to play more aggressively than even when Cloppet in 2011-2013. Only in the 20th round of the Bundesliga for the first time black and yellow left the field without a goal scored (0: 0 with “Herta”).
«Porto» – since its inception has been a team that plays in ostroatakuyuschy, technical football, and it does not change from generation to generation. In football, of course, anything can happen, but imagine that match these teams get boring, extremely difficult.
«FC Midtjylland” – “Manchester United” and “Augsburg” – “Liverpool”. ? Does the British in the Champions League
Want For all low pressure, with which the English clubs belong to the Europa League, for the “Manchester United” and “Liverpool” this tournament – the last chance to qualify for next season in the Champions League. This was directly stated Wayne Rooney this week. By the way, Wayne, who scored 7 goals will not accept in the last 9 games in the upcoming meeting participation, he was injured in training and was out for several months.
«Liverpool» is too can not get involved in the fight for the top four in the Premier League. In the game the red led by Klopp is observed that progress had hoped the fans and the Europa League – the best chance to save the season. Do tune in to the English second-rate, according to them, the tournament? From this fully and will depend on the outcome of the confrontation. It is clear that the “FC Midtjylland” and “Augsburg” no chance against even today’s “United” and “Liverpool”, if they play a basic composition and with maximum dedication
«Villarreal.” – “Napoli” . Does the team chase two hares?
Confrontation “Villarreal” and “Napoli” is perhaps the most promising in terms of the quality of all the matches 1/16 finals of the Europa League. Both teams are in good shape for many years: “Napoli” for the first time since Maradona has a real chance to fight for the Scudetto, and “Villarreal” is firmly located on the fourth place in the Example, behind only grandees – “Barcelona”, “Atletico” and ” Real”.
Successful performance of clubs in the domestic arena allows fans hope for the continuation of the banquet and in European competition, but the coin has another side. Head coaches of both teams, it may have already made the decision to concentrate on domestic affairs, because, as is often the case, two hares chase … Almost certainly we can say one thing: in this confrontation will meet participants of the Champions League season 2016/17

«Miner” D – “Schalke 04″. Whether you take the “Schalke” revenge for the 2005 th
Donetsk “Shakhtar” – the only Ukrainian club left in the playoffs of the Europa League. The rival of “miners” in the upcoming match – the German “Schalke”, with which the wards Mircea Lucescu played at the same stage of the tournament (then known as the UEFA Cup) in 2004 season / 05. Then the “Miner” has won on aggregate (1: 1 and 1: 0). Now from the compositions of the teams in the field can get out unless Darijo Srna, but those meetings well remember how in Ukraine and in Germany
«Miner” has suffered a significant loss this winter -. In the Chinese championship left top scorer Alex Teixeira. The “Schalke” is also a human problem: in Lviv is not exactly play Höwedes and nastasic. The chances of the teams regarded as absolutely equal, the winner can not be predicted
«Valencia.” – “The Rapid”. Do Cheryshev continue to rescue Gary Neville?
hero of last week in “Valencia” was Russian Denis Cheryshev. It was his goal scored in 15 minutes before the end of the match with “Espanyol”, brought “bats” first victory under the leadership of Gary Neville and, according to many, an Englishman saved from dismissal. Former defender of “Liverpool” Jamie Carragher, Denis compared with Mark Robins, at the time of the goal saved the resignation of the “Manchester United” Alex Ferguson (http://www.championat.com/football/news-2379459-karrager-denis-cheryshev—ispanskij-mark-robins.html).
Do Cheryshev Duration save Neville? The opponent and the time for this is very appropriate. The “Valencia” has already stated its intention to keep the Russians in the team for next season. The team believe in Dennis, Dennis remains to wish good luck in the upcoming and subsequent matches.
