The Spanish media is very optimistic that Valencia will advance to the final of this season's Europa League, and since Atletico Madrid also has the advantage in the other semi-final, the Spanish media is looking forward to the final of the Spanish Civil War!

Braga's visit to Valencia is insignificant, and they are naturally nobodies compared to the strong teams that Valencia have faced in European competitions over the past decade.

In the pre-match press conference, Yaltim was unusually slightly tough.

'Valencia did a good job in the first leg and got a relatively advantageous result, but we didn't have a chance and they won't have it easy for them to knock us out at home!

Braga are the only remaining Portuguese team in Europe and we look forward to defending the honour of Portuguese football and performing even better on this stage! ”

Unai Emery was much more low-key, saying Braga's equaliser in the first leg had proved they were more than expected to fight, but Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium would not have allowed them to walk away with the win.

The semi-finals are bound to be-for-tat, so there's no fuss about that.

Tang Hong visited Valencia's home Mestalla with the team, and before the game in the locker room, Bayano came to Tang Hong seriously, stretched out his right hand to touch his head, Tang Hong looked up at Bayano, who muttered something in his mouth, and waited until the other party's hand left his head before asking: "What is this?" ”

Bayano said solemnly: "This is the blessing technique I learned from a witch in my hometown, you will definitely perform well today, if you score, remember to give me two percent of the bonus." ”

Tang Hong pursed his lips and said, "Everyone take turns to touch my head, I might as well not score a goal, and after scoring a goal, I will post it upside down to give you a bonus." ”

The prize money must have been a joke, but no one knows if Bayano's witchcraft actually worked.

Al Tim's demagogic rhetoric in the dressing room about club honours and season accomplishments is quite effective, as these are what they seek as players every season.

Winning the league is enough to go down in history, and if they reach the Europa League final and lift the trophy, they will be club legends!

Of course, it is more realistic that if they achieve more and get more honors, their future will naturally be brighter, and even if they stay in Braga, at least the salary should be raised.

Once the morale had been boosted, the Braga generals walked out of the dressing room and lined up in the players' tunnel to get ready to play.

Tang Hong glanced at Valencia's starting lineup today, which has changed from a week ago, and it seems that Valencia's return to home play may also change.

With both starters in high spirits and a lively atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium, Valencia fans are naturally looking forward to their team reaching the Europa League final after the game!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the second leg of the 2011-2012 UEFA Cup semi-finals between Valencia and Braga.

After a 3-3 draw at the Municipal Stadium in the first leg, Valencia returned to home today and will be able to knock out their opponents and reach this season's Europa League final if they don't lose to Braga.

Unai Emery fielded a 4231 formation at home today.

Goalkeeper: Alves.

Defenders: Ricardo Costa, Barragán, Lamy, Alba.

Midfielders: Fegoulli, Albelda, Canales, Parejo, Jonas.

Forward: Soldado.

Compared to Valencia's changes and changes in the starting line-up, Braga's side is the same as the one they started a week ago.

They still lined up in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Quem.

Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Ezigile.

Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

Well, let's see who will advance to the final of this Europa League after 90 minutes! ”

Braga were actually mentally prepared before coming to Valencia, and Valencia will definitely be more conservative than the first leg, after all, there is an advantage in the score.

Yaltim has not made good changes in the technical and tactical play, and relies more on the on-the-spot performance of the players.

Valencia were more focused on midfield control and defensive balance today, and they didn't want to give Braga a defensive flaw that they could focus on.

After the referee's whistle, Valencia, who were playing at home, kicked off first.

They passed three times in the midfield, Braga's overall defense retreated, and it seems that they still have to play defensive counterattack tactics, and taking the initiative to press out to attack is bound to be a dead end for Braga, in the final analysis, they want to turn the situation around, as long as they score first, the first goal and early goal are different concepts, first look at Valencia's posture and state, and their own need to stand firm away and integrate into the game.

In the 5th minute of the game, Valencia's forward pass was tempted, Canales split the ball in the middle to find Jonas on the left, and Alba assisted to quickly go down to receive the ball before sending a cross.

Canales cut forward in the box and tried to shoot but was cleared off the touchline by Custodio.

Valencia drove the ball from the sideline and then passed it back to the back.

They controlled the tempo, so they weren't in a hurry to launch a series of fast attacks and pass each other to tear apart Braga's defence.

In fact, there was nothing to tear up, Braga put on a dense defensive posture, and deliberately compressed the middle, giving them enough space to go down the flanks.

Valencia dominated the situation on the pitch and made the game look tepid.

In the 11th minute of the game, Feghouli combined with Canales on the right side to cross against the wall, but was intercepted by Coelho and Ezigil when he cut into the box.

Braga immediately instigated a quick attack.

Amorim combined with Eziegill to cross diagonally to the left side of midfield.

As soon as Tang Hong stopped the ball, he saw Feghouli, Albelda came towards him, and Ricardo Costa, a full-back in front, also stepped forward to join the joint defence, and was about to form an encirclement.

Tang Hong dribbled forward to start, but when Feghouli rushed to his side, he made a quick stop to protect the ball from the outside, and he cut the ball cross-cutting past the stopped Feghouli, and then sent the ball short to the feet of Barbosa when Albelda rushed up.

At the same time as Balbosa stepped forward, Tang Hong ran without the ball and sprinted forward directly after the ball!

When another defender, Parejo, rushed towards Balbosa to intercept it, Barbosa sent the ball to the left side of the box with a diagonal pass.

The Valencia crowd was surprised by Limara's response, with centre-back Rami going out and Ricardo Costa on the back to flank Lima when the latter tapped the ball wide to the left in front of the box.

From Tang Hong to Barbosa to Lima, Lima finally knocked the ball diagonally back, and Braga completed a brilliant and classic triangular pass.

The Valencia defense line turned their eyes and suddenly saw the shocking Tang Hong rushing to kill!

Albelda chased back from behind, and it was obvious that he had no chance to interfere or force Tang Hong.

Tang Hong took advantage of the situation to hit the ball into the penalty area, Rami hurriedly rushed to intercept it head-on, just when Rami was about to run in front of Tang Hong, Tang Hong rushed to knock the ball behind his left foot and chop to change to cross-cutting!

When Rami took a step back and stretched out his leg to intercept, Tang Hong had already staggered with the ball with him.

Rami was just about to turn around and block again, but the picture that caught his eye was Tang Hong's decisive shot in the middle of the penalty area!

The soccer ball blasted out with his right foot flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, hanging straight into the dead corner!

Goalkeeper Alves only moved one step and raised his hand in surrender!

The stands of the home team of the Mestalla team fell silent instantly, and many people looked at each other!

This goal Braga scored too neatly!

Tang Hong turned around and roared and rushed towards the corner flag area, and all the generals of Braga also rushed over.

They made the same move as Tang Hong and raised their right fists, as if to show Braga's strength!

"Tang Hong volleys in the penalty area! Braga opening the scoring at Mestalla meant they were ahead of Valencia on aggregate!

Valencia's start was not ideal, everyone could see that Emery wanted to win this game smoothly, but Valencia lacked a blood and momentum, Braga was very patient and waited for their chances, they didn't even have a decent attack in the first 10 minutes of the game, but as long as they were given the opportunity, they were able to play a shocking attack!

This time, Braga's attack was launched from the left flank, and after the triangle pass, Tang Hong got rid of the encirclement arranged by Valencia against him, and at the same time, Lima's pull to the side was very good.

When Tang Hong stepped forward to answer Lima's pass, he went into the penalty area and got rid of Rami with a wonderful pass, and shot with his feet at an angle!

This goal is extremely exciting!

Braga also seem to have summed up the experience of the first leg and made a targeted tactical change for this match.

Valencia will have to attack with all their might, and the good news is that they only need an equaliser to regain the advantage at the moment! ”

Unai Emery frowned and looked a little ugly, unexpectedly caught him off guard by the collapse of the defence, and in fact Braga's style of play did not change much.

It's just that Lima has a larger range of activities in terms of strategy, because compared to Tang Hong's finishing ability, Lima is definitely still inferior, so it is natural for him to create space and opportunities for Tang Hong.

Yaltium raised his arms and shouted, and after celebrating the goal, he warned his team to stay focused and not to take the lead lightly.

When Tang Hong and his teammates walked back to the half, they invariably paid attention to the reaction of the Valencia generals, and then reminded each other to strengthen their defense and fight back more decisively!

Due to Tang Hong's goal at the Mestalla Stadium, Braga fans suddenly caught the eye here, and some of them even held a flag with Tang Hong's portrait held high!
