Chapter 115 Difficult League
In this UEFA Cup, the result of the first round match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Twente was beyond everyone's expectations.

After 2-3, watching with 10 minutes left in the game, although Shakhtar Donetsk wanted to equalize the score, they were afraid of being counterattacked by Twente again.

In this hesitant mood, until the end of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk failed to score again.

And with three away goals, Twente, who was satisfied, was also not greedy, and defended carefully until the end of the game.

In the end, in this game, Twente defeated Shakhtar Donetsk away and scored three away goals.

After the game, while many sports media were surprised by the result of the game, they also saw that Shakhtar Donetsk had obviously made a tactical mistake in dealing with Yang Mo.

The German "Bild" directly pointed out that although Yang Mo is worthy of defense, Shakhtar Donetsk is a bit too nervous.

Shakhtar Donetsk wasted too much staff energy on Yang Mo. Although Yang Mo was restricted, it directly affected both offensive and defensive ends, which eventually led to the failure of the game.

In terms of overall strength, Shakhtar Donetsk is definitely better than Twente. The reason why they got such a result is that they are completely afraid of Yang Mo's ability, and they are afraid that Twente will rely on Yang Mo to score away goals.

But now that the game is over, Shakhtar Donetsk obviously proved that in order to restrain Yang Mo, they have to suffer greater losses.

In this game, Shakhtar Donetsk, who is more powerful on paper, even if they play against Twente, the final result may not necessarily be like this.

On the contrary, Twente's tactics are very smart, drawing on the experience of the previous game against Ajax, this game took advantage of the opportunity when Shakhtar Donetsk valued Yang Mo to open up the situation in other ways.

However, "Bild" also stated at the end that Twente's third goal relying on Yang Mo's counterattack also proved that Yang Mo is an excellent player, and it is reasonable for Shakhtar Donetsk to be afraid.

But the UEFA Cup is the UEFA Cup. Even though this is the last UEFA Cup, the attention it has received has long been inferior to that of the UEFA Champions League, and the attention of those top leagues that have entered the sprint stage.

So after this game, Yang Mo, who is not very outstanding in terms of statistics alone, was only slightly mentioned in Europe besides domestic.

However, neither Yang Mo nor Twente paid much attention to media reports.

On the one hand, just two days after the end of the Ukrainian game, they will start the No. 30 round of the Eredivisie and will face Loda Football Club at home.

At the same time, they, who have great hopes of advancing, have to start preparing for the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

After the first round of the quarter-finals, the results of the eight teams have come out, and it can already be seen who Twente's opponent will be.

In the first half, the Hamburg team beat Manchester City 3-1 at home. If there is no accident in the second round, it will not be a big problem to advance to the semi-finals.

The Bundesliga team Werder Bremen, also in the upper half, also defeated Serie A Udinese 3-1, and it is estimated that they will advance to the semi-finals.

Looking at this situation, the off-duty division of the UEFA Cup semi-finals is very likely to stage a German civil war in the semi-finals.

Twente needs to beat the opponents in the semi-finals before worrying about which German team to face in the final. What makes Twente's coaching staff a little depressed at this time is that compared with the clear situation in the first half, the second half However, their opponents have not yet been able to determine who they are.

In the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain and Dynamo Kyiv, who were in the bottom half of the division, finally ended in a 0-0 draw after a fierce battle throughout the game.

So up to now, Twente has no way of determining who their next opponent will be, and can only wait for the end of the second round.

On April 2009, 4, Dutch time, Twente, who had just rushed back to the Netherlands from Ukraine, had two days of hasty preparations, and then faced the challenge of Roda Football Club at home.

At 45:[-] p.m., when the game started, facing Roda, who was in the relegation zone and was desperately fighting for relegation, Twente, who was exhausted, played extremely hard.

In the opening 7 minutes, Yang Mo made a pass from the bottom, and Twente defender Rajkovic scored a goal. The opening goal allowed Twente to lead Loda 1-0.

In order to avoid relegation, Ke Luoda showed a strong desire to attack. In 25 minutes, they relied on No. 26 midfielder Deloch's long shot to equalize the score.

Next, when the game progressed to 39 minutes, Luoda No. 19 forward Cisse relied on a corner kick and scored with a header, directly overtaking the score to 1-2.
Although Twente attacked desperately in the rest of the first half, they still failed to score and could only enter the intermission with a score of 1-2.

After the start of the second half, Twente began to siege Loda with all his strength in order to equalize the score.

In this way, in the 57th minute of the second half of the game, still relying on Yang Mo's cross, captain Nkufu volleyed and scored an equalizer goal, which made all Twente fans see the hope of victory.

But after this 2-2 lasted for less than 5 minutes, Roda once again scored a goal by No. 19 striker Cisse in a counterattack, overtaking the score for the second time and rewriting the score to 2- 3.

Being stubbornly overtaken by opponents in a row, the Twente players are a little anxious at this time. Everyone thinks that we have played so sadly in the UEFA Cup. Is it possible that the winning streak in the second half will end with the relegation team.

However, this thought lasted until 69 minutes into the second half when Yang Mo tied the score to 3-3 with a sudden long-range shot from an inside dribble.

Maybe it was because of consecutive overtakes and consecutive equalizations, the momentum in Luoda's heart was consumed a lot.

Fearing that they would be defeated by Twente, they began to choose to hide and defend, hoping to hold the tie and score every point.

But they want to defend, but Twente is not willing. At this critical moment of the championship, a draw is tantamount to returning the initiative to Alkmaar. This result is unacceptable to Twente.

So in the next game, facing Roda's bus defense, Twente began to take advantage of Yang Mo's point, and kept passing from the side, hoping to break through the opponent's goal with a high-altitude ball.

Under Twente's crazy attack, Roda fought hard to hold on until 87 minutes, and finally couldn't hold on.

After Yang Mo broke through the defense from the wing and hoisted the football to the midfield, none of the Twente players in the penalty area could grab the first spot. At the feet of defender Douglas.

After stopping the ball, Douglas aimed slightly, and directly kicked a vigorous volley, allowing the football to pass through the gaps of several Roda defenders and fly into the goal.

But at this time, because the line of sight was blocked, Luoda's goalkeeper didn't even notice when the football flew over, he only saw the football spinning in the goal.

ps: Dear judges, please vote for a recommendation, it’s not as good as it is every day.
