In tonight's Europa League match, the two sides will relive the last meeting. Brighton last time they faced Marseille away from home, they faced four problems. First of all, the youth army who lacked European experience did not know how to foul and deal with fouls, which led to being bullied by opponents to death. Even a player like Pedro, who has been badly fouled, does not dare to put pressure on the referee.
Secondly, Brighton's signature tactic of "stepping on the ball at your feet" was seen through by the opponent, making it difficult to exert force in the first half. Thirdly, Brighton did not have a professional left-back at the time, and Marseille made the most of that weakness to score their first goal. Finally, the poor quality of the pitch turf caused problems for the passing team and caused low-level mistakes for players such as Dunk.
Those four problems allowed Brighton to be comfortably beaten by Marseille at the time. However, Brighton's last defeat to Marseille was a long time ago, with changes in line-ups and tactics for both sides. Marseille have been in excellent form of late, but Brighton will certainly be prepared and fully capable of recovering from their last heavy defeat at home.
On the Europa League stage, they will also be more mature and experienced. This match, instead of feeling like the last time, will make people feel like a huge gap, but will present a wonderful game full of suspense. In English football, Brighton's match against Marseille has become the focus of football fans around the world.
In the first half, Brighton played very poorly, falling behind by two goals and seemingly in a state of decline. However, in the second half, Brighton made a very smart adjustment, using a direct long pass tactic, which had a whopping 14 long pass rate9%, although this is not their strong suit, still creates a lot of opportunities.
The performance showed that Brighton had adapted to the high tempo of European competition. It is worth mentioning that Brighton have already played Marseille once and as the game progresses, they are becoming more familiar with Marseille's style of play and should not have a disastrous performance like the first half.
While Brighton still face a number of injury problems, they have started to adapt to playing on two fronts, with as many as six rotations in their starting line-up in the last game, and fitness should not be too bad. In contrast, Marseille have to play their fifth game in 15 days, which is a very heavy load.
Although Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been outstanding in recent games, he is 35 and a half years old and has started five games in a row, and the club is still concerned about his fitness problems. Gattuso also got vaccinated in advance, saying the team was exhausted. In these respects, Brighton have a certain physical advantage in home games.
Overall, Brighton overcame a number of headwinds in their last away game and played a crushing second-half performance. They are more mature today and not only sit at home, but also have a certain physical advantage, which has laid a solid foundation for them to win this game.
The team will be expected to maintain a consistent tactic and perform better to achieve victory. In addition, the wine party will send you a text analysis of other competitions in the evening. If you like this article, please like and follow, let's watch the ball together, and see clearly!
