Now the Valencia team has arrived in Milan, has completed on-field training, and is waiting for tomorrow's game.
Marcelino said in an interview with the media at this time: "I know they gave up a lot for this game. Their main players are preparing for this game and even gave up the league. League. It is still very important to them now, but... even so, I don’t think our team will lose!”
He is well aware of Ac Milan's recent situation.
After all, Ac Milan is their opponent now, and he must know all the situation of Ac Milan.
He knows many things that fans and media reporters know, and he also knows many things that fans and media reporters don't know.
For example, Ac Milan's forward Haaland did not play in the last league game, not because he wanted to rest and focus all his attention on this game, but because Haaland was injured and is still recovering from his injury. !
Although he is currently recovering well, he cannot play in this game.
Marcelino knows news like this very clearly, which is also the source of his confidence.
Therefore, he is really confident about this game.
Facing media reporters, he also said: "The current state of our team is actually very good, and we also gave up the league for this game. As you know, the current league is not good for us in Valencia. It is particularly important, but we still gave up the league. This shows how much we attach importance to this game, right? The Europa League is a front that we will never give up. We have only one goal, and that is to go To the end!”
Valencia is currently ranked 6th in La Liga with 52 points, only 3 points behind Getafe and Sevilla in front of them. Yes, they are only 3 points away from fourth place in the league and qualifying for the Champions League next game. However, in the just-concluded round of the league, they still gave up this round. As a result, they lost 0-1 at home to Eibar, which ranked 13th in La Liga.
If they win this round, their points will be the same as Sevilla, which ranks fourth in the league, which will be more advantageous for them to compete for the Champions League qualification for next season.
But Marcelino still resolutely gave up this game and put all his elite soldiers into this game with Ac Milan. And the club's top management also supports them in doing so. Their only goal now is to defeat Ac Milan, then advance to the Europa League final and win the Europa League championship.
Don't think that you, Ac Milan, are the only ones who have given up the league for the Europa League. We, Valencia, are the same.
So, why do you think Ac Milan will definitely win this game?
We at Valencia also gave up a lot for this game, and our goal in this game is to win!
Therefore, we will definitely go all out in this game.
You, Ac Milan, may not be able to win this game.
Marcelino also said: "For now, my players are in very good condition. They have been preparing for this game for a long time, and they are full of expectations. They are also optimistic about themselves. We are very confident, we all feel that we will definitely win this game, and the Ac Milan people cannot stop us!"
Many media reporters shook their heads. They all felt that Marcelino was too self-centered.
You have indeed paid a lot, but in terms of strength, you are indeed not as good as Ac Milan. This game is still an away game for you. So if you want to win, you can only rely on luck!
Anyway, no one in Italy thinks how lucky the Valencians can be?
They all feel that Ac Milan will win this game!
At least that's what Rosenery thinks.
Their Ac Milan side gave up the fight for the Serie A championship just for this game. Can we, Ac Milan, lose this game? impossible!
Even if we want to lose, the Ac Milan players will not agree.
In this game, we, Ac Milan, must win.
At this time, many media reporters expressed their opinions on this game. Most people felt that Ac Milan had a greater chance. Even Romano said that this game will be a close game. Whoever wins between the two teams will depend on who performs better!
Yes, at this time Tong Yi's rival Romano did not say that Ac Milan would definitely lose, which shows that Ac Milan is indeed very sharp now. It is indeed difficult for Valencia to defeat Ac Milan. After all, this is the San Siro Stadium.
Ac Milan's players will definitely be able to show their superb level at San Siro.
If this game was at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, you Valencia would still have a chance, but at San Siro, you have no chance at all!
Now all Italians are full of expectations for Ac Milan. They all think that Ac Milan will win this game!
Rosenery began to celebrate wildly and began to celebrate.
The atmosphere on the day of the match was very lively and fiery. They screamed and roared excitedly, using all kinds of sarcastic words to create trouble for the Valencians, which damaged Valencia's morale. people.
The Valencians who came to the away game really felt a lot of pressure. The San Siro Stadium is also a devil's home stadium. Those Roseneris roared crazily as if their throats were made of iron.
Valencia's players all felt a little dizzy.
The game hasn't officially started yet, but Rosenery has started to unleash his skills. This is really a bit too exciting.
Valencia's players felt a lot of pressure in this game.
Even Marcelino's heart is hanging at this moment, it is indeed very dangerous.
He turned his head and glanced at Tong Yi on the other side, his eyes narrowed instantly. He knew that this game was not easy to play.
At the same time, he also got to know Tong Yi better. This Chinese guy is really good at pretending. He was very warm and friendly when shaking hands before the game. The game hasn't even started yet, but things have changed!
Just wait, you will change your face at the end of this game.
Valencia must win this game!
At this time, Marcelino also saw Ac Milan's starting list for this game. As expected, as he knew, neither Haaland nor Goretzka appeared in the starting list, and even Haaland was not included in the squad. . These two people are indeed injured. Although the injuries are not serious, they should not be able to play in this game.
Even if Goretzka is on the bench, the chance of playing in this game is not high.
Therefore, Marcelino is even more confident about this game.
Valencia must win this game!
When they saw Ac Milan's starting lineup at half-time, the media reporters and fans at the scene were in disbelief and expressed their incomprehension. Your main players of Ac Milan have already rested in the league last weekend. Why do they still have to rest in this game and are not in the starting lineup for this game?
They all couldn't figure it out, and it didn't matter that Haaland didn't make the roster. Why did Goretzka sit on the bench if he made the roster? Is this a preemptive strike?
Many people at the scene were very confused, and many even expressed their dissatisfaction.
Tong Yi didn't say anything about this and still sat calmly on the coach's bench.
The camera at the scene was focused on him, and nothing could be seen from his face. This made Rosenery even more confused, Huaxia Tong, are you playing something new?
beep!
At this time, the international referee Clement Tilpin from France blew the whistle to start the half game.
This is considered one of the famous whistlers in France. He entered the industry in 2007, began to enforce the French Ligue 1 in 2008, and became an international referee in 2010. He has been on the scene for more than ten years and is considered a very mature referee. Otherwise, he would not appear to referee such an important game.
As soon as the game started, Valencia turned against the visitors and pressed forward like crazy.
And it can be seen that Marcelino's research on Ac Milan is still very detailed. From the beginning of this game, they attacked around Locatelli. After all, Locatelli is just Goretzka's substitute. Although he became famous at a young age, he is still very immature.
At this time, with the whole team's strength to attack Locatelli, this young man may not be able to withstand it.
This made the fans at the scene very nervous and worried. After all, they felt that the young man Locatelli had not endured such a lot of pressure this season, right? Can he bear it?
By this time, they were even more confused about why Tong Yi would start Locatelli in such an important game and let Goretzka sit on the bench?
why is that?
At this point, Ac Milan was in a passive position, which made Roseneri very anxious. But instead of complaining about the players, they roared as loud as they could. Encourage the Ac Milan players to work harder and they will definitely be able to overcome the opponent's three attacks in the first fifteen minutes!
As long as they survive these fifteen minutes, the game will enter their Ac Milan track.
In this game, Ac Milan can win this game.
So, players, come on, hold on!
The Valencia players also know very well that they must score in the first twenty minutes, otherwise the rest of the game will be difficult to play. They are rushing to start the game, and most of their energy will be consumed in the first twenty minutes. If they cannot score in these twenty minutes, then the game will really be in doubt!
Therefore, at this time, I, a Valencian, rushed towards Ac Milan's goal like a tiger going down the mountain, besieging it crazily, and threatening Ac Milan's goal with frequent shots. The Ac Milan fans were very nervous and frightened, because Valencia's offense became more threatening every time, as if they were about to score a goal next time.
very dangerous!
Even at this time, Rosenery had no intention of paying attention to why Tong Yi made such a choice. They were cheering the players crazily, hoping that they could withstand the first twenty minutes, just hold on. Things will change soon, and it will be Ac Milan who frequently threatens the goal.
come on, come on, come on!
At this moment, Valencia's core midfielder Parejo received a pass from teammate Diacab, and with a crab step, he instantly passed the oncoming Locatelli. Then he directly sent a penetrating through ball, sending the football into the ribs of Ac Milan's penalty area.
Rodrygo, a quick and agile Spanish striker who moved forward, picked up the ball with his left foot, and without adjusting his right foot, he directly swung his leg and volleyed hard. The football flashed past like a stream of light and flew into the AC Milan goal.
