Substitute completes the final shot, Sancho wins the showdown with Anthony

Sports Weekly Special Correspondent Wu Haoyu from Wroclaw

At the pre-match press conference the day before the final of the UEFA Cup, a reporter asked Chelsea coach Maresca whether this final will be Sancho's last game for Chelsea. "I don't know." The Blues coach admitted, "Tomorrow is the final, and now is not the time to consider the players' stay or stay. We will discuss the future after the game is over, but at this moment, there is no idea or decision about Jaden or any other player." Previous reports have also shown that Chelsea will discuss his future with Sancho after the final of the UEFA Cup. He may stay or return to Manchester United, but Sancho will not stay in the team even if he returns to Manchester United.

Another frustrated Manchester United player in the UEFA Cup final in this UEFA Cup is Anthony, but unlike Sancho's lukewarm during his loan period and the current club's hesitation about whether to stay him, Anthony's outstanding performance made Betis hope to keep him in the team from the beginning, but the problem is that Betis finds it difficult to meet Manchester United's asking price. After joining Betis on loan at the winter window, Anthony has become an important topic in the team. He helped Betis advance in both La Liga and European Cup with his outstanding performance. Betis performed poorly in the first half of La Liga this season and fell to the bottom half of the standings. However, after Anthony arrived, the Green and White Army's record has improved rapidly, and he also had outstanding performances of defeating Real Madrid at home and drawing Barcelona away. The performance of the Brazilian not only won the love of Betis' fans, but also brought a lot of attention to Betis. In the past two days of the European Cup final, fans wearing Anthony Betis' No. 7 jersey can be seen everywhere in Wroclaw. Anthony, who has won the love of fans, has also expressed his desire to stay in the Green and White Army many times. "I found the feeling of being at home here." Anthony said in an interview a few days ago. Before the final of the European Cup, Anthony was once again in the focus. The live camera was always focused on him, and Betis fans also brought his portrait to the stadium to show their love for the Brazilian winger. Coach Pellegrini was also asked about Anthony's topic at the press conference: "I am very proud to see him recover here," said Pellegrini. But due to Betis' poor finances, Anthony's destination next season has not yet been determined, which coincides with former teammate Sancho.

Anthony led Betis to start eleven people in this game, while Sancho started as a substitute. However, under the close control of one of the best left-backs of the Premier League this season, the "Yuan God" did not show his good form in La Liga and UEFA Cup before. Betis performed hard enough in the entire first half and made some contributions to the defensive end. He intercepted Chelsea's counterattack many times, but did not create too many threats on the offensive end. The core of the midfield Isco also cooperated more with Abde on the left, who also scored a goal at the beginning to help Betis start strongly.

As the game time deepened, Chelsea, with better lineup strength, gradually gained the upper hand, and Sancho also made a substitute in the second half. When Betis was overtaken, Sancho, who was physically fit, inserted into Betis' penalty area and hit it fatally, basically helping the Blues kill the game. After scoring the goal, Sancho took off his clothes to celebrate and vented his depression over the years. A year ago, he was loaned back to his old club Dortmund by Manchester United. Although he reached the final with the team, Dortmund was unable to resist against Real Madrid and ranked second. Now that the substitute comes out to face the tired Betis defense line, Sancho completes a fatal finale and sweeps away the gloom of his loss last year. After scoring, Sancho personally pulled away former teammate Anthony who had a conflict with Enzo Fernandez, and the scene of the two hugging tightly after the game was also captured by the scene. In the second half, Betis had no power to fight back against Chelsea's new force, and Anthony could only rely on several solo fights to try to save the situation, but it was like scratching the shoe, and he could not really threaten Jorgensen's goal. Betis finally had no choice but to swallow the loss, and in the "Manchester United loan player" showdown with Anthony, Sancho gained the upper hand this time.

There is still unknown where the two will go next season, and it is also unknown whether this game is the last game for the two in their current boss. Sancho's wonderful goals in this game may have improved his market conditions that are constantly declining. Although the final is relatively quiet, Anthony proved his strength with his outstanding performance in Betis' six-year period, and also attracted many next players who are interested in him. Can "Yuan Shen" continue to play in the La Liga field next season that will help him regain himself?
