190: Opportunities come like raindrops in a heavy rain
Before the end of the first half, AC Milan reversed the score and led the game 2-1.
Now the total score between the two sides is three to three!
More importantly, both sides have the same number of away goals. If the game ends with this score, the two sides will enter overtime. If there is no winner in overtime, then both sides will have to
It's a penalty shootout.
But obviously, it doesn't have to go into overtime yet.
After all, both sides still had 45 minutes left in the second half of the game. They had the opportunity to change the score, win in regular time, and successfully advance to the finals. .??.
Although the Valencians were a little panicked at this time, to be honest, they are still not at a disadvantage even now.
The total score between the two sides is still a draw.
However, AC Milan's two goals in a row really made them a little unexpected and very panicked.
Fortunately, the first half of the game is over at this time, and they have 15 minutes to adjust and prepare for the next game. If the first half of the game is not over at this time, they may still worry that it will continue
Conceded the ball. But now after a break, they feel that they may not necessarily concede the ball, and they can even win the game.
After all, this is their home stadium now, the Mestalla Stadium.
But to be honest, the current situation is actually quite bad.
Because they can't let AC Milan score anymore. If they score, it will be an away goal. If Valencia wants to advance, they have to score two more goals. In other words, as of now,
As long as AC Milan scores another goal, they must score one more goal than AC Milan, otherwise they will be eliminated.
Therefore, they are really nervous about the current situation.
At this time, they also have to make a choice, whether to attack or defend in the second half of the game?
There is a risk in attacking hard. If AC Milan scores another goal, they will have to score two more goals! If they defend, they still have a chance to survive the second half of the game. And if they seize it in the second half of the game
If there is a chance to counterattack, wouldn't it be possible to win?
So at this time, Valencia players and Marcelino are a little entangled!
Are they going to attack or defend?
Defend!
Yes, Marcelino has made the decision. At this time, they should stabilize the situation first.
At this time, they really can't concede any more goals. If they do, Valencia will be eliminated.
They would not have the confidence to score two more goals in the second half of the game.
Because the opponent is indeed very strong, and the gap between the two goals in football matches is also very large.
Can't take risks.
The Valencia players nodded one after another, agreeing with Marcelino's arrangement and saying that defense was the most correct choice. So, at the beginning of the second half, they continued to put on a defensive posture.
Maintain a counterattack stance.
But Tong Yi only said one thing during the halftime break, and that was to attack.
No hesitation at all!
AC Milan is currently taking the initiative, and as long as AC Milan scores one goal, it will have the effect of two goals. Isn't it a joke if they don't attack at this time?
At the beginning of the second half, AC Milan swarmed into Valencia's penalty area like a beast descending from the mountain.
This made the Valencia fans at the scene very nervous and worried. It was dangerous.
The Italian team's offense was very fierce, almost pressing forward from all fronts. Valencia's players all felt a little panic and worry, feeling very dangerous. However, at the beginning of the second half, their defense was still
It was very strict and gave AC Milan no chance at all!
Just when the Valencia fans breathed a sigh of relief, AC Milan's Brandt directly received Goretzka's direct pass and quickly took the ball into Valencia's penalty area.
Seeing this, the Valencia fans were shocked. How could they let the opponent enter the penalty area so easily?
What about your intensive defense? What's going on?
There are so many people fighting near the penalty area, so the opponent is allowed to enter the penalty area?
Valencia fans expressed complete incomprehension. With so many of you, can’t you stop being a human being?
Marcelino on the sidelines was dumbfounded when he saw this.
Fortunately, Paulista in the penalty area reacted quickly at this time. When Brandt volleyed, he fell to the ground and slid over, stretching out his long legs to block the football. With a bang, Brandt's
Paulista's legs and Paulista's legs kicked the football at the same time, and the football shot up on the spot. Then Valencia goalkeeper Neto rushed out quickly and held the football in his arms with both hands.
But before he could stabilize himself, his body was knocked upside down. The football quickly slipped out of his arms and fell directly to the ground. Brandt, who stumbled over, reacted like lightning and quickly
Stretching his legs, he stretched his foot before Garay and poked the football into Valencia's goal.
The ball went in!
Before the AC Milan fans had time to celebrate, the Valencia fans on the scene expressed their dissatisfaction, waving wildly, cursing the AC Milan people, and putting pressure on the referee.
Marcelino on the sidelines also rushed out quickly, opened his arms and roared at the referee.
Toot toot!
The referee Tirpan blew his whistle directly, indicating that the goal was invalid, and Brandt collided with the goalkeeper.
Brandt was very aggrieved. He didn't mean to collide with the goalkeeper. He jumped up to avoid Paulista's long legs. If he didn't jump up, his legs would be broken. He
jump up
Is there anything wrong with dodging? He staggered a little when he landed, and he just hit Neto by the way. This was not an intentional collision with the goalkeeper.
He thought that the ball was entirely Neto's fault. He didn't hold the ball firmly. If he didn't hit it, it would have missed. This is a goal!
Brandt and Tong Yi argued hard and still did not change the penalty. The ball was deemed to have hit the goalkeeper.
In this regard, Tong Yi could only be speechless!
How could this ball hit the goalkeeper?
However, this goal allowed AC Milan people to see an opportunity, and it also made Valencia players more and more nervous. AC Milan's offensive ability is very strong. If it is not stopped, this game will be very suspenseful.
.They all turned to look at Marcelino, as if asking if they should continue to guard?
Marcelino immediately nodded, indicating that they should continue to defend, or even strengthen their defense!
It can be seen that Marcelino really wants to defend and not concede the ball. At the same time, he also reminds the Valencia players to pay attention to the opportunity to counterattack, strive for a fatal blow, and win the game!
To be honest, Marcelino doesn't want to enter overtime or a penalty shootout!
It is best to resolve the battle within the regular time. Of course, if you let them risk a fierce attack, they are not willing to take the risk. So currently Valencia is still defending and handing over the initiative!
AC Milan doesn't have many ideas, this is just offense!
After all, if they score one more goal, AC Milan will have three away goals, and their away goals will always be one more than their opponents. In that case, Valencia will have to score two more goals at the last minute to eliminate them.
That's almost impossible!
Therefore, at this time, Tong Yi and the AC Milan players hope to score goals as soon as possible.
AC Milan attacked like a tide, rushing into Valencia's penalty area, attacking like crazy, creating many opportunities, and frequently threatening Valencia's goal. This made the Valencia fans
I was so scared that everyone didn’t dare to look up. They just couldn’t stand it!
They were really worried, feeling as if their goal was about to be breached in the next moment.
Marcelino on the sidelines was also very nervous and worried!
But at this time, he could only encourage the players to defend seriously and not let AC Milan score goals.
As long as AC Milan doesn't score a goal, the game will always be under their control.
As time went by, the game became more and more intense, and Valencia's goal was frequently threatened, and it seemed that it really couldn't hold it anymore. However, at this time, Valencia launched a quick attack
In the counterattack, Rodrigo's shot almost broke through AC Milan's goal, which made the fans at the scene very excited and excited, and they applauded one after another.
pity
It was Courtois who made a great save and threw the football directly under him.
Then, Courtois rushed out quickly, threw the ball vigorously, and launched a lightning attack, which shocked the Valencia fans.
The football flew quickly to the wing. James, who was running forward from the wing, suddenly passed the ball and passed the opponent's defensive player. Then the moment he caught up with the football, he directly took off his foot and made a cross at a 45-degree angle.
The football drew a wonderful arc and flew quickly into Valencia's penalty area!
In the penalty area, Haaland quickly rushed forward and jumped high, like an eagle spreading its wings.
This made the Valencia fans' pupils dilate and their hearts trembled!
When the Valencia players saw this, their expressions changed, and their hearts jumped into their throats.
With a bang, Haaland hit the football hard, and the football shot quickly towards Valencia's goal. Marcelino on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore and closed his eyes in despair.
, this ball is really too dangerous.
With a clang, the jumping Neto's fingertips touched the football. The football immediately shot upwards, hit the crossbar of the goal hard, and then bounced out quickly. Paulista in the penalty area immediately fell to the ground first.
Stretching his legs, he shoveled the football out of the baseline and made a successful clearance.
It's so dangerous, just a few seconds away from it, Valencia will be defeated by AC Milan!
At that moment, many Valencia fans at the scene had their hearts stop. Fortunately, the ball didn't go in. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened?
Tong Yi felt it was a pity. This was an excellent opportunity.
If this goal had been scored, AC Milan would have directly advanced to the finals in this game. Because there would be almost no time after this. Valencia would have no time to score even one goal, let alone two goals. What a pity, really
It's such a pity, this is the closest goal to a winning goal!
It seems that this game is going to the final overtime!
However, AC Milan still has a chance and one last chance to attack.
Corner kick, AC Milan got the last chance for a corner kick.
The Valencians were very nervous. All their players retreated into the penalty area, and AC Milan players all rushed into the Valencia penalty area. The penalty area was overcrowded. Even at this time, Cu
Ertoba swarmed into Valencia's penalty area!
At this moment, James drove the football directly to the back of the penalty area with a curved kick.
Courtois, who was rushing forward in the penalty area, quickly stopped and turned around, made an arc, threw away the defenders, and threw towards the back point.
When the ball arrived, Courtois easily jumped up and hit the football hard. The football shot quickly towards Valencia's goal - and then slightly missed the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the baseline!
The referee immediately blew the whistle to end the game, and AC Milan once again missed the chance to win!
