Let's talk for the first time todayChampions League qualifiers: Shamrock Rovers vs Vikings Reykjavik!

When he saw the name of the home team, Xiaojiu couldn't help but want to laugh - this is too coincidental.

Last year was also July, and it was also the first round of the Champions League, and we also talked about this Shamrock wanderer in the video.

Their opponent was also an Iceland team- Bereda Bilek, whose style is very similar to that of today's Vikings, and Shamrock was eliminated in the end.

So, will Shamrock still be eliminated this time?

First of all, one thing is clear: the Vikings are stronger than last year's Berea Bilek.

In the league, the Vikings have won two titles in the last three seasons and look likely to win the title this season.

In the Cup, the Vikings are even stronger – they have already won the Iceland Cup four times in a row and have reached the final this year and possibly five in a row.

It can be said that the Vikings are not only stronger than Beredabilik, but also have better strength and state in recent years.

And Shamrock's side is significantly worse than last year.

Last season's Shamrock was Ireland's undisputed dominance, having won four in a row.

This season, they only have the fourth place in the Super League, let alone the championship, and they may not even be able to enter the top three.

This is because they sell the main force a little fiercely, and in the whole of Ireland, they sell more than 1 million people (sold 2.65 million), and their combat effectiveness no longer has an absolute advantage.

The second is because head coach Bradley's heart may have flown away

After eight years in charge of the team, the young coach should be eager to take it one step further (he's only 39 years old now).

Why did he criticize the Ireland Football Association for the poor performance of the national team manager? Obviously, the new coach chosen by the family is the hero who led Iceland to the 2018 World Cup, and his ability is very good?

Maybe because Bradley is also one of the candidates, he is a little unhappy after losing the election, right?

If the manager is not focused enough, the players can feel it and it will affect the team's performance.

Well, the Vikings are stronger than last year's Bereta and Shamrock is weaker than last year.

Since Shamrock was killed by Bereda last year, now he has encountered the Vikings, the stronger Iceland overlords...... Logically, it should be harder to kick.

Maybe Bradley doesn't think so.

After the first-round draw, Bradley felt it was a bad referee who gave the wrong second yellow card that caused them to play badly.

He thinks that this time back at home, on the natural turf that he is familiar with, Shamrock has a lot of hope, so he is very confident.Didn't even let the team practice taking penalties.

However, there is one weakness that Shamrock has not solved in recent years, and that is the set-piece defence.

Last year, he played for Bereda Bilik and scored set-pieces in both games.

This time against the Vikings, although they did not concede the goal, but in fact, Shamrock's set-piece defense is still very weak, but he was lucky not to concede the goal, such as this time by someone else hit the post twice.

Although historically, Iceland teams have been weak when they go away.

But Iceland's European-level teams have also been tackling this problem in recent years, trying to improve their set-piece attacking ability and minimise their exposure to changes in the field. With Thrandal, the heart of midfield, also back tonight, the Vikings may not be much weaker than at home.

Last year, Bereda beat Shamrock home and away against Sharmrock, so is the stronger Viking scared now?

Can the Vikings at least not disappoint the fans, and what do you think? The little wine party is looking forward to them to win the game!

Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text analysis in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
