They only had to wait for dozens more Minutes are all it takes, and even then they're already dancing in celebration.
As a result, they lost in the end.
This is unacceptable to them.
Originally, everything was going in their favor. Why was the final result like this? This is totally unacceptable!
The Valencia fans at the scene were extremely sad and cried bitterly.
At this time, they still felt very aggrieved and didn't know who to vent their anger and aggrievedness on. Because Valencia's players played very well in this game, and the tactical arrangement seemed to have no problems at all. They thought they would win and advance in this game. But it overturned at the last moment, and they couldn't accept it.
At this time, it is difficult for them to blame the team's head coach Marcelino.
It's great that Marcelino can lead the team to this point. They even saw the possibility of advancing to the finals. Seeing this ending, Marcelino should be very painful, right?
Indeed, it was very painful for Marcelino to watch this moment. As the host, at this time, he completely forgot to shake hands with Tong Yi as a gesture of friendship. He just walked onto the field, kind of like a zombie.
Seeing Marcelino's confused expression, Valencia fans were also very sad.
Even so, Marcelino still did not forget to comfort his players.
Some Valencia fans at the scene gave the victory to Marcelino and the Valencia players. They felt that the team performed well in this game and that the failure to win was entirely due to bad luck.

Tong Yi deserves to be the top head coach in the world!
At the scene, Rosenery sang the team song and danced, very excited!
Tong Yi originally wanted to shake hands with Marcelino, but after seeing the other party's condition, he gave up the plan. At this time, there is no need to provoke Marcelino and the Valencians.
At the post-match press conference, Tong Yi said this: "We were able to win this game. It was actually a bit of luck for our team to advance to the Europa League final. Our opponents are very strong. This game gave us a fatal blow at the beginning. At that time, many people should have thought that our Ac Milan was completely finished and was going to be eliminated."
Countless media reporters at the scene nodded, they all thought so.
At that time, the situation was indeed very unfavorable for Ac Milan. Even the most optimistic Rosenery would feel very worried and suffocated. However, Ac Milan's subsequent adjustments were really powerful. This guy Tong Yi's control of the game was really great, which led to the victory of this game.
It's really amazing.
Tong Yi also said: "The victory in this game is naturally the credit of the players. They fought hard to win this game. They are the heroes of the team. Of course, I hope they can remember this feeling, because There are still very important games ahead, and we still need to work hard! Come on, boys, the future belongs to you, and the championship is waving to you!"
Romano curled his lips slightly. He felt that the Chinese soft-boiled man was really getting carried away and got his way.
Is that why you want to win the championship? Who do you look down on?
Don't think that if you beat Valencia you are number one in the world and you can be arrogant. Based on your performance in this series, what qualifications do you think you have to win the championship? Advancing to the finals is your greatest limit. It is definitely impossible for you to win the championship at your level, so stop daydreaming.
But, to be honest, many media reporters still believe in Tong Yi's words.
They all feel that the strength and tenacity shown by Ac Milan are very likely to win the championship, because these are the factors that must be present to win the championship. And it just so happens that Ac Milan now has it. In addition, Tong Yi has a lot of experience in competing for championships, and he is also the head coach who has won the most Europa League titles in world football. When these bUFFs are added up, everyone thinks that Ac Milan It is indeed very possible to win the championship this season.
Maybe only Romano would look at Ac Milan with colored glasses and think that Milan could not win the championship, right?
Anyway, many people are optimistic about Ac Milan at this time.
The players of Ac Milan have also accumulated a lot of confidence through this game, and they are full of confidence in the finals.
Even Valencia head coach Marcelino said: "Ac Milan is indeed a very championship-worthy team. The strength and tenacity they have shown so far really impress me. They lost to We are definitely not convinced by them, but I think if they beat us, they will be able to beat all opponents in the Europa League. If we hadn't made our own mistakes, I firmly believe that it would be us, Valencia, who would win the Europa League this season. , we have the strength!”
Hearing this, Romano sneered. He felt that Marcelino was just promoting himself!
As for your Valencia team, you can't even win against Ac Milan. You still want to win the championship? Don’t you even look at what your strength is? Speechless!
Romano also forgot at this time that before the game he was crazy about Valencia's bad feet. He firmly believed that Valencia could easily defeat Ac Milan and advance to the Europa League finals this season.
As a result, his face was swollen and now he looks like a pig head!
Other media reporters felt that Marcelino was right. Valencia did have a chance to win, but it was a pity that they themselves did not grasp it.
However, Marcelino also said that he believes that Ac Milan has the ability to win the championship, which is somewhat consistent with their views. They are also full of expectations for the following games!

But for now For me, I am fully confident in defeating them. Our team is in very good condition and is very well prepared. We have all the conditions to defeat them."

After all, they have lived in Tong Yi's shadow these years, and they know very well how powerful this guy is. They were really afraid that the team wouldn't be able to beat Tong Yi's team, and they were a little worried.
Tong Yi did not respond at all to this, because he felt that there was no need to respond at this time. Responding so many times won't solve any problem. If you have this time, you might as well put all your energy into the upcoming competition. This is the most important thing!

In this game, they were united and tried their best to withstand the pressure placed on them by the opponent. In the 87th minute of the game, young Abraham defeated the opponent and won the game. , and got three points without any danger.
To be honest, it is indeed a miracle that Ac Milan can win this game.
Fiorentina scored a goal in the 83rd minute of this game, leading Ac Milan. As a result, Ac Milan was lucky. Var intervened to signal that the Florentine was offside before scoring, and the goal was invalid. Then in the 87th minute, the Florentine made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Abraham, who was ambushed, successfully intercepted the ball, went straight in and scored.
To be honest, this is really good luck, very lucky!
