After scoring the goal, Reyes did not run to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal, nor did he hug his teammates. He ran all the way to the coaching bench.
He wanted to dedicate this goal to one person.
Without him, perhaps I wouldn't be where I am today.
In an important match against AC Milan, his goal equalized the total score for the team. This should be a very important goal. Dedicating this goal to his head coach should make him happy, right?
Reyes's speed was so fast that the Valencia players who were chasing him couldn't catch up with him. They could only watch as he rode away from the dust, rushed into the coaching bench, and then hugged him.
Always victorious.
Chang Sheng accepted Reyes' hug calmly.
He knew what this kid meant, but he was not pretentious because he felt that he was worthy of Reyes's expression of emotion.
He slapped Reyes on the back and kept repeating in his ear: "Good job, Jose! Good job, Jose!"
Amid the praise for his victory, Reyes hugged him tighter and tighter.
This once timid young man felt that only in this way could he express his gratitude to Chang Sheng.
Then other players rushed up and surrounded the two people.
Valencia players celebrate their equalizer!

When Berlusconi saw this scene, his face was livid.
The people around him didn't dare to speak out loud.
People who were still cheering for AC Milan before are now silent.
In Italy, every man is a fan. So politicians like them still know the rules of football very well.
They all know the significance of Reyes' goal.
The total score was originally tied, and AC Milan must now score to have any hope of advancing to the semifinals.
But looking at AC Milan's performance on the court, who knows when they will score a goal? I almost praised AC Milan before, but at first glance, AC Milan is in a bad situation!
At this time, the best thing to do is to remain silent.
Everyone knows that Berlusconi must be very unhappy now. If he is offended, it will not be worthwhile.
From the moment we turned on the TV, everyone was actually very embarrassed.
I originally planned to cheer for AC Milan, but unexpectedly I saw the embarrassing side of AC Milan.
This is somewhat uncomfortable.
The banquet suddenly became much quieter, and the beauties did not make any sound.
No one is saying anything to praise AC Milan, Valencia all over and the ever-winners anymore. As for the nationality issue of Chang-Sheng, no one is talking about it.
Someone once wanted to turn off the TV, but Berlusconi stopped him.
He originally thought there was no suspense in the game, but now he actually planned to watch the game in silence.

The first half ended quickly after Reyes scored.
When the first half of the game ended, Valencia's players held their chests and heads high and walked vigorously.
In stark contrast, the AC Milan players lowered their heads and hurriedly fled the stadium. At this time, they just wanted to go back to the locker room. Only in this way could they avoid the Valencia fans.
mocking.
They are all world-class stars, they have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have won numerous honors.
But because of this, their self-esteem is also extremely strong.
I can't bear the humiliation from my opponent.
※※※
During the halftime break, Valencia fans were still discussing the first half happily.
For them, this first half was so exciting.
They came to the Mestalla Stadium before just to cheer the team out of habit. In fact, they were not optimistic that their team could complete the reversal.
The most optimistic fans just think that Valencia should be able to win the game at home, and they will be very close to a reversal at one point. However, they will still be eliminated by the powerful AC Milan in the end.
Unexpectedly, Valencia evened the total score in the first half!
This gave them a huge surprise.
They began to look forward to the second half of the game.
Will Valencia pursue the victory, or will it play it safe?
At the same time, on the rostrum, Valencia shareholders and distinguished guests who came to watch the game were also discussing the first half enthusiastically.
As shareholders of Valencia Club, they are naturally supporters of Valencia. Who doesn’t want their team to perform well?
Which Valencia fan wouldn't be excited to see their team resurrected from a desperate situation and perform like a phoenix rising from the ashes?
Many people even came up to shake hands with club president Soler, congratulating him on the team's outstanding performance and congratulating the team on equalizing the total score.
Naturally, Soler couldn't let them know that he actually wanted the team to lose, so that he could let Chang Sheng go away.
Therefore, he could only deal with the congratulations and congratulations from these people with a smile on his face.
This made him very uncomfortable.
Oti saw this scene from the side and found it funny.
Soler, don't you think that just because you are the president of the club, you can do anything?
How are you feeling now?

During the halftime break, various TV stations broadcasting the game also analyzed and commented on the first half.
Experts gathered together to analyze why AC Milan played like this in the first half.
Analysis after analysis, no matter which TV station it is, they all come to the same conclusion.
That's how lucky Valencia is.
"...Actually, judging from the first three minutes of the game, AC Milan had the upper hand. But after Valencia scored in the local five minutes, the situation fundamentally reversed..."
"The entire AC Milan team must not have expected that they would fall behind in the first five minutes of their away game. Valencia's goal completely disrupted their plans and arrangements. It also shook the confidence and morale of the AC Milan players...
"
"There are many surprises in this game, and the goal scored in the first five minutes is one of them. There is not much problem with Ancelotti's tactics. He wanted to score an away goal and lead by three goals.
Under the premise, this is understandable and safe..."
Everyone's attention is focused on loving AC Milan.
Anyway, they didn’t mention Chang Sheng’s arrangements.
It seems that these experts believe that Valencia's tactics are the same as before, so there is nothing to say.
After analysis, experts all believed that although the first half of the game was unexpected, it did not mean that AC Milan had nothing to do.
As long as AC Milan can advance by one goal in the second half, the balance of this game will be lost again.
So overall, the balance of victory and defeat is still tilting towards AC Milan.
※※※
This is the opinion of experts, and Chang Sheng himself is of the same opinion.
After returning to the locker room, he first praised the team's performance in the first half: "I am proud and proud of your performance, guys. You perfectly demonstrated your fighting spirit and desire to win."
However, praise only accounted for a small part, and then he changed the topic.
"However, don't take it lightly, guys! Our opponent is AC Milan. They have experienced countless comebacks in the Champions League! You must know that we are just tied with them on aggregate. And there is still half a game left.
As long as AC Milan can score one goal, they will regain the initiative. If they score one goal, we have to score two goals in a row. So defense is very important in the second half, and we need more control."
"At the same time, in terms of offense, we must seize the characteristics of their aging defense line that consumes too much physical energy too quickly, and launch a fierce impact on their back line! More through balls, more forced breakthroughs. Forced breakthroughs do not seem to have any technical content.
But it actually works very well. I'm sure you should have seen that in the first half."
Someone laughed, and then they looked at Reyes.
Everyone was particularly impressed by the scene when Reyes used his speed to forcefully break through Maldini and Pancaro.
Under everyone's gaze, Reyes smiled shyly.

Compared with the relaxed, lively and positive atmosphere of the home team's locker room, the visiting team's locker room was as silent as a graveyard.
Every AC Milan player who returned to the locker room couldn't understand why they suffered such a heavy blow.
Ancelotti had nothing to do about it. He just said a few words in the locker room and didn't even make any adjustments.
It's not that he doesn't want to adjust, it's that he has no one to adjust.
The eleven players who can play are already the strongest lineup that AC Milan can currently field.
How to adjust it again?
During the halftime break, Ancelotti calmed the players and told them that it was not time to surrender yet, because after all, as long as they scored one more goal, they could regain the initiative.
His words successfully impressed many players, and everyone's fighting spirit seemed to be back.
Ancelotti decided to strike when the iron was hot and told the players that they would attack Valencia's goal at the beginning of the second half.
Since Valencia can score in the first five minutes of the game, why can't we AC Milan also score at the beginning of the second half?
With this idea in mind, the AC Milan players returned to the court.

In the second half, the two sides changed places to play again, and no one made any substitutions.
AC Milan did become more active after the start of the second half.
Just three minutes into the game, Pancaro made a pass from the left. Under the interference of Gabriel Milito, Shevchenko's header from the edge of the penalty area was too high and was missed by Canizares, who was well positioned.
Confiscate the ball.
Three minutes later, in the 51st minute, Thomason's right-footed low shot from 17 meters in front of the goal rolled weakly out of the left goal post.
Less than a minute later, Pirlo made a direct pass from the backcourt, but Shevchenko once again fell into Valencia's carefully crafted offside trap.
Under the dual effects of the defensive tactics of offside prevention and the game skill of "Offside Trap", Valencia's success rate of causing offside is quite high.
Shevchenko just felt uncomfortable no matter how hard he played today, as if he was sinking into a swamp.
※※※
"Damn referee! How could Sheva be offside? That was obviously a good goal! **, the Germans really don't have a good thing!" Deportivo, who saw this scene in front of the TV, cursed in annoyance.
He believed that the referee's bias towards Valencia at home was too serious.
A few guys nearby who were eager to flatter Shevchenko also jumped out to support Shevchenko: "It's just, what an obvious good shot, let the referee just blow it off..."
As a result, when the offside kick was replayed in slow motion, they all shut up.
Because no one likes to be slapped in the face...
The TV slow motion clearly showed that AC Milan forward Shevchenko jumped a full height in the attack just now!
Berlusconi fell silent.
※※※
Although AC Milan started the second half with a strong offensive, they soon became impatient again when they found that they could not score a goal.
More and more started to fight alone.
Kaka broke through the frontcourt and found that he was surrounded by Valencia players. He looked up and did not see an AC Milan teammate nearby. In the end, he was surrounded by Valencia players and his ball was snatched by Alber.
It's broken.
Kaka, who lost the ball, didn't fight back on the spot, but spread his hands and looked helpless.
It didn't take long for Kaka to break through again. This time he succeeded in getting Baraja to foul himself. AC Milan won a free kick 25 meters away from the goal.
As a result, Pirlo directly passed the ball into the penalty area without waiting for the referee Meier's whistle, intending to catch Valencia off guard. The sudden attack failed, but he received a yellow card. Even if AC Milan could eliminate Valencia,
As we approach the Champions League semi-finals, Pirlo will also miss the first semi-final.
Pirlo then repositioned the ball. This time he didn't pass the ball, but shot directly.
But the football that was shot hit one of our own people on the wall.
How depressing and depressing it is...
