After a two-month break, European football is back and we are starting with the analysis from Spain. Two teams that had big problems in the previous season, Sevilla and Valencia, will meet in the first round of the 23/24 season. During most of the last season, Sevilla was in the lower part of the table and the situation in the club was very worrying. The team was led by Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli, but neither of them brought the desired results. Jose Luis Mendilibar was brought to the position of coach, who completely turned the situation around in the club. Mendilibar not only managed to pull the club out of the abyss, but ended the season in an incredible way by bringing Sevilla the 7th Europa League trophy and a safe place in the group stage of the Champions League. Considering the whole season, 12th place can be considered a success. When it comes to pre-season, they have been very active in this regard, appearing in eight friendlies this summer.

As for Valencia, in the last few years the team has been facing problems on and off the pitch and it really doesn't seem like the end of the crisis is in sight. They were very close to playing in the second Spanish league this season and in the end they had only 2 points more than the danger zone. They managed to win only 42 points after 38 games played and if they repeat the game from the previous season, the question is whether they will manage to ensure survival. They were not too active in the transfer period, which indicates that they will most likely be far from fighting for one of the places in Europe. in the preparatory period they played 5 friendly matches and won 4 matches, but rivals like St. Gallen, Spartak Trnava and Alaves cannot be taken seriously. Playing away last season was a huge problem for Valencia and in 19 games they were defeated as much as 12 times. They will be further weakened because Cavani and Musah left the team, and adequate replacements were not brought. The attacking duo of Alberto Mari and Marcos Andre are injured and most likely Duro will lead the attack. Sevilla has been known for years as a defensively well-organized team, and I believe that they will show that in this season as well.

在两个月的休息之后，欧洲足球又回来了，我们从西班牙的分析开始。塞维利亚和瓦伦西亚这两支在上个赛季有大问题的球队将在23/24赛季的首轮相遇。在上个赛季的大部分时间里，塞维利亚在积分榜上排名靠后，俱乐部的情况非常令人担忧。该团队由朱利安·洛佩特吉和豪尔赫·桑保利领导，但他们都没有取得预期的结果。何塞·路易斯·门德里巴尔被任命为教练，他彻底扭转了俱乐部的局面。门德里巴尔不仅成功地将俱乐部从深渊中拉了出来，而且以令人难以置信的方式结束了这个赛季，为塞维利亚带来了第7座欧联杯奖杯，并在欧冠小组赛中获得了一个安全的位置。考虑到整个赛季，第12名可以算是一个成功。在季前赛中，他们在这方面非常活跃，今年夏天他们参加了8场友谊赛。

至于瓦伦西亚，在过去的几年里，球队在场上和场下都面临着问题，看起来危机还没有结束的迹象。本赛季他们非常接近参加西班牙第二联赛，但最终他们只比危险区域多了2分。38场比赛后，他们只拿到了42分，如果他们重复上个赛季的比赛，问题是他们能否确保生存。他们在转会期表现不太活跃，这表明他们很可能不会为欧洲的一个席位而战。在备战期间，他们打了5场友谊赛，赢了4场比赛，但像圣加仑、特尔纳瓦斯巴达克和阿拉维斯这样的对手不能被认真对待。上赛季的客场比赛对瓦伦西亚来说是个大问题，他们在19场比赛中被击败了多达12次。由于卡瓦尼和穆萨离开了球队，而且没有带来足够的替补，他们的实力将进一步削弱。进攻二人组阿尔贝托·马里和马科斯·安德烈受伤，最有可能的是杜罗将领导进攻。塞维利亚多年来一直被认为是一支防守严密的球队，我相信他们在本赛季也会展示出这一点。
