Some information about how to show last post and more visited post with preview

Hello to everybody,

I am very new in WordPress world and I have to develop a blog that show post in homepage as this website (that is made using WP):

https://viralpatel.net/blogs/

As you can see in this website there is not the classic blog visualization but, instead, in the content area there are two columns that show respectively the feautured post and the last inserted post (with a litle immage preview if it is in the article)

How can I implement something like it? I came from Joomla and Joomla logic and pretty different from WP logic.

In WP are there some specific template that implement this features or I need a template with more widgetable columns and exist a widget that do it (for example, show the last post) or have I to implement this feature by myself in some way?

Tnx
Andrea
