191: Should you really be punished for wasting opportunities?
Two to one, AC Milan did defeat Valencia in the away game, but the total score was three to three. Both sides scored two away goals. It was a big draw and the two sides had to enter overtime.
To be honest, AC Milan people feel it is a pity.
Because they had a chance to win. At the last moment of the second half, they had consecutive chances to win. Unfortunately, they lacked a little luck!
Especially Courtois. He completed a header of extremely high quality at the last moment. Unfortunately, the ball missed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line. If this goal had scored, it would have been a sure win, AC Milan.
Will eliminate Valencia with a score of four to three and advance to the finals of the 2018-2019 Europa League.
Unfortunately, luck does not allow it!
In the end, the two sides ended in a draw and had to enter overtime.
Rosenery felt very sorry, especially for Courtois!
If this goal is scored, this will become a classic battle in Courtois' career.
It's a pity that everyone is lacking a little luck.
Tong Yi also immediately shook his head to express his regret.
After all, at the last moment they not only had one chance to win, but opportunities came one after another like raindrops in a torrential rain, and they actually dodged them one by one. This is really hard to stress.
However, at this time, Tong Yi did not show these emotions. He immediately came to the sidelines and gathered the players, allowing them to rest as much as possible and replenish water.
At the same time, Tong Yi also said to the AC Milan players, "Don't worry about the ending. Judging from the second half of the game, we have a good chance. In overtime, we still have to be more proactive, but we must pay attention to defense and don't
It’s all-or-nothing, you know?”
Yes, Tong Yi also needs to be more restrained at this time.
After all, this is overtime, and it is difficult to recover a goal lost in overtime. After all, the time is too short and too fast.
The psychological pressure of conceding a goal in overtime is also very high, so it is best not to concede the goal!
The AC Milan players also understood and nodded one after another to show that they understood.
Tong Yi was very happy, and then continued to encourage the players, saying that they had a chance to win, so come on.
The players of AC Milan also believed it, because at the last moment of the game, they really had a chance to win. Looking back now, it is indeed a bit regretful. However, they put these thoughts aside at this time.
After that, they have to focus more on the next game.
Compared to AC Milan, Valencia is more nervous and worried.
Until this time, they still had lingering fears.
Just now they really thought that Valencia was going to be completely finished, but they didn't know that they were lucky enough to withstand the attack and maintain a draw.
At this time, he tried his best to stabilize the players' hearts, and then
Finally, the players were reminded to maintain a defensive posture in overtime and never concede the ball at this time!
Yes, their current tactics are still defensive!
In the last thirty minutes, the defense was able to stabilize the situation. And he firmly believed that AC Milan did not dare to attack unscrupulously. AC Milan was also afraid of conceding the ball and was afraid of losing. At this time, it was all about stability.
For the Lord.
Yes, Marcelino is already considering a penalty kick at this time.
In his opinion, his team had almost no chance in overtime, and he also felt that it would be difficult for AC Milan to score, as long as they stabilized their defense.
Valencia's players nodded to show their understanding.
Soon, the first half of the overtime match between the two sides officially started. The first one to kick off was the home team Valencia.
As soon as the game started, they pressed forward like crazy and overwhelmed AC Milan's goal.
It can be seen that Valencia's side is starting with a rush, a fierce attack, and a score will be scored. What if they are lucky and score a goal?
Therefore, the Valencians were very active and dedicated in attacking this time.
Not to mention threatening AC Milan's goal!
Of course, Tong Yi expected that the Valencians would attack fiercely at the beginning. He gave detailed instructions and reminders before the start of the game. The AC Milan players also paid attention to defense.
However, Guedes on the wing still found an opportunity, slipped through the gap, penetrated near the baseline, and directly swept the football back in an inverted triangle. Rodrigo, who quickly followed up, got ahead of Diaz.
Directly slide and shovel.
The Valencia fans were very excited and felt that this goal would definitely be scored and that Valencia would take the lead.
Unexpectedly, Rodrigo's shot was not accurately replaced due to the interference of Diaz, but the football slowly flew up and flew towards Courtois in front of the goal.
Courtois easily held the football, and AC Milan saved the day.
The Valencia fans felt very sorry, shaking their heads and sighing. If this goal had been scored, it would have basically sealed the victory. What a pity!
However, they still gave applause to the Valencia players, indicating that they would keep up their efforts, strive to score goals as soon as possible, and win the game. How did they know that Valencia's attack did not start in overtime?
, but the peak!
At this time, Valencia was completely defensive, and they did not invest too much force in the few counterattack opportunities, resulting in no threat.
Of course, Valencia fans don't know this now, they are full of expectations for this game.
They all firmly believe that in this game, their Valencia
West Asia will definitely be able to win and defeat its opponents.
The Valencians firmly believe that it will be Valencia who advance to the Europa League finals this season!
At this moment, inside the stadium, AC Milan's offense surged up.
Valencia's players and fans were all shocked. AC Milan's attack was so fierce, it was like a tide coming up, giving them a strong sense of oppression. Even in the stands
All the fans felt nervous and worried.
The football came to the midfield quickly. Pellegrini in the midfield did not stop the ball and directly pushed the football to the wing.
Yes, Pellegrini came on as a substitute for Brandt.
James, who was advancing from the wing, did not stop the ball and quickly pushed the football back to Pellegrini, who was advancing. Before Pellegrini could catch the ball, the opponent's defensive player Coquelin rushed forward quickly.
Coming over, Pellegrini immediately turned around to block the opponent with his body, and then immediately pushed the football to the side again.
James, who rushed up from the wing, did not stop the ball, but directly moved his big foot long distance and passed the football to the other side near the baseline.
Davis, who rushed up quickly, found a smooth road in front of him.
The Valencians were shocked, and the center back in the middle rushed out quickly and pounced on Davis to prevent Davis from cutting inside. Who knew that Davis, who had caught up with the football, did not cut inside at all, but started directly.
After the pass, the football quickly flew over the head of defender Garay who rushed out, and then spun into the middle of the penalty area.
Haaland, who rushed up from the middle, jumped high and smashed the flying football with his head!
With a bang, the football shot quickly towards Valencia's goal.
All the Valencians at the scene were frightened and felt that this ball was very dangerous and almost ruined.
At this moment, Neto in front of the goal subconsciously reached up and slapped the football over the bottom line, saving the team. The scene immediately burst into warm cheers from the Valencia fans, as if they had made progress.
Like a ball!
This goal is really thrilling. If it weren't for Neto, this goal would have definitely been scored!
All the Valencians at the scene chanted Neto's name and roared excitedly.
Tong Yi kept shaking his head on the sidelines. He didn't even get such an opportunity?
He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. They wouldn't be able to score in overtime, right?
Corner kick, AC Milan's attack was not over yet, they got a corner kick opportunity. Marcelino on the sidelines was very nervous. He knew how powerful AC Milan's corner kicks were. He roared crazily to remind the players.
You must be careful not to give your opponent a chance!
Valencia's players were also very nervous, but they defended across the board and went all out.
James' corner kick flew directly into the penalty area. In the penalty area, Dias jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal. Unfortunately, the football missed the goal. There was no threat. What a pity!
In the first half of the game, AC Milan controlled the overall situation and frequently threatened Valencia's goal. Unfortunately, there was no goal, which is a pity. However, Rosenery is full of confidence. They firmly believe that if they continue to play like this, AC Milan will definitely be able to
Winning.
Soon the two sides changed sides and started the second half of overtime.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, AC Milan came here with a shock. After Gretzka received the ball from Pellegrini at the front of the penalty area, he directly shot with his legs. The football shot out quickly and flew quickly.
The shot was aimed at the lower right corner of Valencia's goal.
The speed of the ball was so fast that the Valencians turned pale. It was dangerous!
With a bang, after goalkeeper Neto threw the ball out from the side, the football hit Lautaro's leg in the crowd and changed direction, immediately refracting to the lower left corner of the goal.

All AC Milan people at the scene screamed with excitement and jumped up and down excitedly. They felt all the passion surge from the soles of their feet to their heads in an instant, and they were very excited.
The Valencia fans were in mourning, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The referee Tilpan immediately blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was invalid because Lautaro was in an offside position when Goretzka shot. The goal was an offside goal and was invalid!
Tong Yi was very speechless, saying that he could not accept it, but there was no other way. This was how Tilpan punished him.
The fans in front of the TV looked at the slow-motion replay and found that the ball was indeed an offside kick and the goal was invalid.
This was a big blow to the AC Milan people. It was as if all their passion was vented here, and it was difficult to take another breath. Although they continued to attack fiercely and pressed with all their strength,
It seems that no great opportunities have been created.
As one goes and the other goes, Valencia has gained more opportunities to control the ball. But at this time, they are still a little timid, fearing that they will be counterattacked after losing the ball. Therefore, they do not dare to have a chance in an absolute sense.
He tries to attack easily, so most of the time the game seems a little dull.
Fans from both sides understand clearly that this game is probably going to enter a penalty shootout!
The Roseneri people felt it was a pity. In the last few minutes of regular time, they had a chance to win. It was a pity that they still scored in overtime, but it was a pity that they were just a little bit short and did not score.

The Valencians were relieved, thinking that being able to survive these thirty minutes was their victory.
Toot toot!
