Think about it. When he was born again, as the head coach of Real Madrid youth team, he shouted a few voices on the sidelines, and it felt particularly good. It seemed that he was already a qualified head coach …
Compared with him now, he was really stupid and naive at that time.
The players in Valencia also realized the importance of this game, and no one sneered at what the assistant coach handed them.
Everyone is watching carefully even when eating.
No one chatted casually, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit cold for a while, which made the waiters who served here uncomfortable.
……
In the afternoon, while AC Milan’s stars are enjoying afternoon tea, Valencia’s players wake up from a nap, and then go to the hotel gym under the guidance of physical fitness coach Elias Dominic for simple physical strength training to keep fit.
Every Valencia player is competing with the equipment in the gym, and no one is lazy. There is a fire burning in everyone’s heart, which has been burning more and more in the last two days. What the head coach has done has made them full of confidence in the future. Now they just want the game to start quickly so that this fire can burst out!
At 5: 30 in the afternoon, after a brief dinner, the two teams boarded their respective buses and set off for the Mestalla Stadium.
The players in Valencia saw many fans along the way.
When they see the bus in Valencia, they will give out cheers and shouts of excitement. The fans who drive desperately honk their horns, and the fans don’t make any noise. They just hold up the slogan of cheering for Valencia and give them a thumbs up.
Even after losing so badly in the first round, these Valencia fans will still come to support them.
What a lucky thing it is …
"For these fans, you should also teach AC Milan a good lesson at home, guys." Changsheng said. "Think about the gloating boos we heard in the stands at the San Siro Stadium. If you feel uncomfortable and unacceptable, then the Valencia fans in the stands who followed us to the away game must be equally uncomfortable … no, even worse than us. We can play football, make money and be famous. But the fans support us, what can they get? Only the joy of victory, and the pain after failure. Their joy is a hundred times more than ours, and their pain is a hundred times more than ours. But even so, they still haven’t given up on us. Guys, who is more loyal than the fans in professional football? After a while, if you encounter difficulties, please think about these fans, they will be our driving force! "
The players turned to look at the fans outside the bus window.
The fans who touched them before have disappeared, but such fans can be seen everywhere, singing, beating time, shouting slogans and holding high slogans.
Or walk, or drive, or take a bus, but no matter which way, their destination is the same-Mestalla!
It is the holy land of Valencia.
Perhaps not all of these people, or even most of them, believe that Valencia can be reversed. But this is even more commendable. Knowing that the team may be eliminated, I still have no regrets to cheer for the team.
Such fans, who else can they fight for if they don’t fight for them?
……
With fifteen minutes left before the start of the game, Changsheng issued a final mobilization order to his team in the locker room.
"Close your eyes and think about it, guys. Think about the humiliation you suffered in San Siro, and think about the voices you have heard for more than two weeks. They said,’ Valencia will lose’,’ AC Milan will compete with Real Madrid for the final qualification’,’ AC Milan will advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League in advance’ and’ Valencia will eliminate AC Milan unless a miracle happens’ … Now, let’s show them a miracle! "
Chang Sheng clenched his fist tightly, because his face was a little red with excitement. When he made the players feel what had happened in the past two weeks, he felt it himself. Recalling the past scenes, he felt angry. The civil strife in the club, the quack’s mistake, Vicente’s injury, the score of 0: 3, the ridicule from the enemy after the game, and the media who talked about their future crazily … He felt anger and drew strength from it.
"For two weeks, we have endured the insults of the enemy, the distrust of our own people and the ridicule of others. Some people even hope that failure in the Champions League will cost us the league title. But we survived, we won two consecutive victories in the league and still led Real Madrid by six points! But it’s useless. If you can’t eliminate AC Milan, then we will always be labeled as’ losers’! "
"Now, if you are unhappy because of failure, if you are eager to fight back at those who mock us … it’s time! What is three goals behind? We can get rid of them three goals behind, which proves our ability! There is no more suitable stage and opportunity than now! "
……
In AC Milan’s dressing room, it’s a completely different scene. Carlo Ancelotti didn’t inspire the players with impassioned words. The players chatted casually in the dressing room and even played, waiting for the game to start.
For them, what is about to start next is not the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final, but a commercial warm-up match. They go out to get money, kick casually, fool the audience, then win the game without bloodshed, go back to shower and change clothes, have fun and have a happy night.
Even Ancelotti didn’t remind them what to pay attention to. It was only five minutes before the start of the game that he stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Then he said: "the game is about to start, play well and win." We have the initiative. No matter what happens, don’t panic. Always remember that we are the one who leads by three goals! "
……
When the game started, Ancelotti’s words were still in my ears, and many AC Milan players remembered them clearly.
They really played very easily, without any burden at all, and played to their heart’s content on the court.
Only two minutes into the game, Sepcenko made a breakthrough on the left and then made a cross.
The football fell into the penalty area, and Gabriel Milito, who replaced Ayala in this game, headed the ball.
A minute later, Cafu scored again on the winger, broke Aurelio and then passed low in front of the goal. This time, Gabriel Milito kicked the football out before Sepcenko, and AC Milan won their first corner kick.
However, Danish striker thomason, who replaced Inzaghi in poor condition, headed high nine meters in front of the door.
Judging from the three minutes from the start of the game, Valencia didn’t look like they were going to reverse AC Milan at home. They were completely suppressed by AC Milan in the scene.
Instead, AC Milan showed why they can eliminate Valencia’s level for two consecutive years.
Even if it is three goals ahead, it will not be merciful, but will continue to attack, hoping to expand the score.
Carlo Ancelotti’s failure to choose defensive counter-attack was surprising at first, but it was soon accepted. After all, they have three goals at the bottom, and they can play whatever they want.
Chang Sheng, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be frightened by the danger in front of the door in these three minutes. On the contrary, when he saw that Ancelotti’s AC Milan really followed his memory and continued to attack in this game, he showed an imperceptible smile.
The inertia of history … Sometimes it’s cute.
……
"Only three minutes after the game started, AC Milan had a shot and a corner kick, and in addition, the football was passed to the door twice. If it weren’t for Gabriel Milito, I’m afraid their goal had been scored four times … but it doesn’t matter if they didn’t score at this time. With AC Milan’s performance in this game, it’s only a matter of time before they score. Although Chang’s mouth is hard, it’s a pity that his team is not as car-scrapping as he said. Judging from their current performance, Valencia has no fighting spirit … "
As the commentator was speaking, Valencia launched an attack. According to the arrangement before the winning game, the attack was launched from the right of Valencia, that is, the left of AC Milan.
As Chang Sheng analyzed at the tactical meeting, although Seedorf was active in attack in this game, his support for pancaro in defense was much less. Reyes, who is young and full of energy, suffered a little loss in experience when dealing with 32-year-old pancaro, but Reyes’ physical quality, speed and momentum can completely make up for this gap.
This time it was like this. Reyes dribbled the ball on the wing first, and when approaching pancaro, he suddenly passed the football to the middle to meet his Villa.
Villa has his back to the attack direction and Maldini is at his side.
Seeing that the football was passed to Villa, and the passing route was a little long, Maldini rushed up and prepared to break the ball halfway. But just started, I found that the ball was running very fast, and I was not sure to destroy it in advance. In case it was missed, it would be a blank behind me …
So he gave up the idea in hesitation.
Only when he dismissed the idea, the opportunity and position had been lost.
When Villa turned his back to stop the ball, Maldini had lost his position and he rushed to jump.
Villa also knew this was an excellent opportunity, so he immediately turned around and pulled horizontally, and shot directly!
Maldini didn’t expect villa to shoot so resolutely. He thought villa would take the football into the penalty area and shoot again. Then you can use your rich experience to beat each other.
This is the deepest understanding of Chang Sheng’s job as head coach after he was reborn as head coach.
