Chapter 2477 Ye Chen is here, no surprises!!!

As a strong team in the football world, AC Milan's desire to win is evident in this highly anticipated event.

From the intensity of pre-match training to the words of encouragement the players said to each other in the locker room, one could clearly feel their extreme desire for victory. They were undoubtedly determined to win this game.

But is Valencia willing to swallow the bitter fruit of failure?

The answer is obviously no.

Valencia also has a glorious football history, and their players also have a persistent pursuit of honor. How could they give up easily?

When the referee's whistle sounded again, the first half of the game began again.

Both sides quickly got into the game and launched a fierce confrontation in the midfield!

Every fight for the ball was accompanied by the players' all-out sprints and physical collisions, and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited.

Although there was no goal, the players' concentration and dedication infected all the fans present.

Football is a strange sport.

Sometimes the game lasts 90 minutes and there is no goal, but the fans still enjoy watching it.

Of course, some games would be boring even if three or four goals were scored.

What are the fans actually watching?

It's competition!

It's confrontation!

However, the five-defender and three-midfielder tactics adopted by Valencia this time gradually showed significant results.

The five players on the back line worked closely together, like building an indestructible wall. They echoed each other, filled in positions in time, and formed a highly layered defense line.

The three players in the midfield also performed their duties conscientiously. On the one hand, they actively participated in defense and cut off AC Milan's passing lines, and on the other hand, they waited for opportunities to launch counterattacks.

This meant that despite AC Milan's fierce attack and repeated attempts to break through the opponent's defense, they were unsuccessful.

Whether it was the extremely threatening shot from the offensive core or the quick breakthrough and cross from the winger on the wing, they were all resolved one by one by Valencia's defense.

In this confrontation, neither side made any progress, and the game entered halftime with AC Milan 1-1 Valencia.

The camera was aimed at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, who had fought hard in the first half, looked a little solemn.

I thought Valencia would be a tough opponent, but I never thought it would be so difficult to play against them.

I remember when we were in Seville, Valencia wasn’t so tough!

But think about it.

Who were his teammates at AC Milan?

Who are your teammates in Sevilla?

How can this be directly compared?

Solskjaer returned to the locker room first, his face calm.

But the brain started brainstorming.

When all the players returned to the locker room, Solskjaer immediately asked the assistant coach to close the door.

Then began the tactical explanation for the second half.

At this time, the physiotherapist was already massaging Ye Chen. Ye Chen pointed to his calves which were a little tight and asked the physiotherapist to help press them.

Although he has almost invincible physical strength and recovery ability, the frequent competitions and high-intensity confrontations make Ye Chen feel a little tired.

After this season is over, I really need to take a break with Lina.

But there is still a UEFA Nations League semi-final and final to play -

FIFA and UEFA really treat the players like animals!

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The players returned to the field after a short break.

At the start of the second half, AC Milan head coach Solskjaer stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, wanting to see if his tactical adjustments had any good effect.

During the half-time break, he asked the players to change the rhythm of the attack, increase short passes, and try to tear open Valencia's defense through delicate cooperation.

Valencia continued to defend firmly while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

This is the desire to live forever.

However, AC Milan's players looked much calmer than in the first half and did not seem to be in a hurry.

But as time passed, more than ten minutes passed.

The AC Milan fans on the sidelines were a little anxious.

"Isn't Valencia a La Liga team? How come they play like a Serie A team?"

"This defensive strength is worthy of a team that can beat Real Madrid with a counterattack!"

"It's amazing. AC Milan plays like a La Liga team, and Valencia plays like a Serie A team. If they swapped their jerseys, I would believe AC Milan is Valencia!"

"Reverse Tian Gang!!!"

"..."

Fans are buzzing.

There was a hint of impatience in his words.

64 minutes 29 seconds.

Ye Chen came to the midfield again and used his excellent dribbling skills to dribble past two defensive players in the midfield and passed the ball directly to Leo on the left side of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Leo made a slight adjustment and shot the ball. The football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

However, Valencia goalkeeper Neto reacted quickly, flew to the side, and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips!

"Great shooting, great defense!"

This beautiful offense and defense made the fans voluntarily applaud.

AC Milan gets a corner kick.

The central defenders in the backcourt also pressed into the opponent's penalty area to participate in the attack.

"Beep!"

With a whistle from Anthony Taylor.

Suso takes a corner kick directly!

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the penalty area.

AC Milan players jumped high, trying to head the ball.

In the crowd, the tower is like a beacon. His super tall height and strong body give him a natural advantage in the competition for the top spot.

But Valencia's defenders were not to be outdone.

The one fighting against the tower is 189cm tall Gare!

In fact, Juventus was considering Garay at this time and wanted him to join the team to strengthen the defense.

In this game, Juventus scouts were in the stands.

Gare jumped up with all his strength to interfere.

In the chaos, Ta still managed to grab the landing spot!

"Boom!"

A muffled sound!

Tower headed the ball towards the goal.

Neto in front of the goal had no time to react at all.

But unfortunately, the football went slightly wide of the goal post!

Having missed the opportunity, Ta angrily threw his hands away.

It’s so difficult for a defender to score a goal!

An attack failed, and then there was another nearly five-minute wait.

Just when Ye Chen thought he had activated the state of the King of Adversity, AC Milan had another chance!

68 minutes 29 seconds.

Corner kick opportunity for Valencia!

The free throw was taken by Parejo.

Parejo sent the ball to the front point.

However, the one guarding the front point at this time was Havertz.

Although Havertz's heading level is average, his height is there.

With a flick of his head, he cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Lautaro Martinez on the outside immediately went over and grabbed the ball.

When he got the ball, he was already close to the left sideline.

Piccini, who had been following him, came up close.

Piccini's name is a bit similar to Pjanic, but his full name is Cristiano Piccini. He is an Italian player. He made his debut in the Florence youth training in his early years and has been selected for the Italian youth national team at all levels. On November 2018, 11, he was selected for the Italian first team and made his national team debut.

Being able to play for the first team in a country like Italy at least shows that his ability is guaranteed.

Looking at Lautaro dribbling the ball, Piccini slowed down and stared at him with sharp eyes.

Unfortunately, Lautaro never thought about him at all.

After looking at Ye Chen's running position in front of him, he passed the ball with his left foot and gave it to Ye Chen in the middle!

As soon as Ye Chen got the ball, Cochrane and Kondogbia immediately surrounded him.

But Ye Chen just pushed it to the right.

It was given to Leo who was also accelerating forward.

When attacking from a corner kick, each player's position is arranged according to the set-piece tactics.

Leo was covering the back post, so when the counterattack occurred, he appeared on the right side.

Leo wanted to take advantage of the situation, but left-back Gaya came up to him.

Plus I'm not used to using my dominant foot.

"Boom!"

A pass back.

Pass the ball directly to Calabria.

Calabria quickly adjusted and made a long diagonal pass across half the court.

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Lautaro Martínez immediately accelerated.

At this time, you can always trust the Argentine's positioning and techniques.

"Boom!!!"

The football landed comfortably on the grass.

Neto immediately moved to the left near post, trying to block the near corner.

But at this time, Lautaro hooked it with his toes.

The football returned to the middle of the penalty area along the grass.

Ye Chen who followed up only needed to give a gentle push——

"Oh!"

The football immediately changed direction and flew into the net!

Neto flew to save the ball in front of the goal.

Kondogbia and Gare, who were following Ye Chen, also stretched their legs quickly.

But Ye Chen's footsteps were too fast.

Havertz witnessed all this from behind and kept shaking his head with emotion.

Perhaps this is what Captain Ye often emphasizes - the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed!

After scoring the goal, Ye Chen excitedly ran towards Lautaro Martinez.

Pointing at Lautaro to the excited fans at the scene.

Indicates that the ball was his credit.

This made the young Lautaro feel a little embarrassed.

But my heart is warm.

It’s a great feeling to be recognized!

In this case, the only way to repay Ye Chen is to perform better.

Even though there are many extreme Argentine fans saying that he is aiding and abetting the evil.

You know, this year is Messi's best chance to win the Golden Ball.

The previous Champions League semi-finals were also held one after another.

Manchester United will challenge Manchester City away.

After Ronaldo scored the first goal, Messi made an assist and a shot to help the team reverse the game and take the lead.

Although winning at home is not a big advantage, let’s just say it is an advantage, right?

Now, as long as Messi beats Manchester United led by Ronaldo to enter the Champions League final, and then beats the winner of Sevilla and Ajax, the Saudi bosses will have a way to arrange for Messi to win the Golden Ball Award next year.

The so-called Golden Globe Award is actually just a war of public opinion.

For example, when the 2018 Ballon d'Or was given to Modric, it was not just because of his outstanding performance in the competitive aspect, but also because Ronaldo was tricked by the Real Madrid president in the war of public opinion.

Of course, only a few people know these inside stories.

It is certainly a good thing for AC Milan to take the lead, but Solskjaer on the sidelines did not dare to relax or neglect himself in the slightest.

This Valencia is a tough nut to crack.

If we don't score another goal at home, it will be even more difficult to play away!

The head coaches of both teams began to deploy their troops.

Leo left the field with Lautaro.

After taking the lead, the team needs to strengthen the defense on the flanks and set up a high point in front for counterattacks.

So Valverde and Vlahovic were put on.

Plus Havertz in midfield was tired.

Bakayoko was substituted.

Such adjustments show Solskjaer's determination.

One ball is not enough!!!

The players also ran desperately.

Winning at home would cause too many variables.

So we have to work harder.

86 minutes 16 seconds.

Neto made a short pass to right center back Paulista.

Paulista kicked the ball directly, trying to find Coquelin in front.

But the ball was intercepted by Bakayoko who had just come on as a substitute!

Although Bakayoko has been criticized all the time, as a professional player, his psychological quality is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people.

He has been working very hard during this period. Whether he returns to Chelsea or finds a new club next season, he must perform accordingly.

Bakayoko got the ball and made a long pass immediately, trying to find Vlahovic in front.

But the ball was intercepted by Valencia midfielder Daniel Wass.

Voss intercepted the ball and immediately dribbled sideways.

But Suso, who was in the attacking midfielder position, was the first to extend his foot and made an accurate steal.

The ball was also passed to Vlahovic behind!

Vlahovic was fully engaged and the first time he saw the football, he immediately turned around and swung his legs.

"Oh!"

The football turned into a cannonball and flew directly to the upper left corner!

Just as Vlahovic was celebrating passionately, the linesman raised the flag without hesitation.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Anthony Taylor was not in a hurry.

According to the rules, when a goal is scored, a line must be drawn to determine whether it is offside.

"Beep!"

Soon Anthony Taylor blew his whistle and drew his hand in the air.

The Valencia fans, who had fallen into the abyss, were suddenly ecstatic.

Who said Anthony Taylor was a bad whistle?

Anthony Taylor is awesome!

Ye Chen, who had just laughed beside him, also shook his head helplessly.

Damn, he was still thinking about ending the battle in the first round and focusing more on the league and scoring goals.

But now, it’s a bit troublesome!

The game resumes.

This time Neto did not pass the ball to the right, but to Gaya on the left.

Gaya is the starting point of the attack on the left.

There is little time left, so Valencia also wants to attack.

But when the ball was about to be passed to Guedes in the frontcourt, it was cleared by the defending Calabria with a header.

Let’s not talk about what Calabria will be like in the future, but at this moment he has indeed demonstrated the potential and tenacity of a top full-back.

Obviously, I'm very tired.

But they still stubbornly sabotaged the attack.

The ball was given to Casey.

Casey doesn't know how to attack, so he passes the ball horizontally at the first opportunity.

As soon as Bakayoko got the ball, he passed it to the right.

After receiving the ball, Valverde quickly pulled to the side.

Gaya just lost the ball.

Isn't this his chance to prove himself?

But who would have known that Valverde with the ball didn't look like a newcomer at all.

A fake move of cutting inside, and then pushing the ball to the outside.

The South American players' terrifying ball sense and explosive power were fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Boom!"

Before Gaya could destroy it, he sent the ball into the penalty area!

This ball was not a curve pass, but a close pass.

So the ball speed is very fast!

Vlahovic in the penalty area wanted to take advantage of the situation and shoot.

But the ball was too fast and slipped past my feet!

next second.

A young man wearing the red and black No. 16 jersey appeared again like a flash where the football landed.

"Oh!"

A sweeping shot!

The football changed direction before Paulista and flew towards the goal!

Neto in front of the goal made a desperate save——

"Shh!"

"Goooooooooooal!!!"

The net is surging!

The passion of AC Milan fans at the scene was ignited again!

It really proves the famous saying in football: As long as Ye Chen is here, there will be no accidents!

Ps: To make the story complete, I will post each chapter of 4000 words!! It's the end of the season, where should I go next season? Do you have any suggestions?
