In the face of Sheffield Wednesday's attack, Valencia could only rely on frequent fouls to defend, and Sheffield Wednesday won set-pieces many times and finally paid off. In the 28th minute, Luka Modric broke through and was brought down by Albelda, who took the set-piece himself, Toney's header was blocked by Canizares, and the follow-up Toure headed home again to head the ball into Valencia's goal to give Sheffield Wednesday a 1-0 lead.

In the 36th minute, Ribery broke down the left and sent a low ball that the Valencia defender scrambled in front of Toney to clear and almost hit his own goal. In the 42nd minute, Modric took the ball in the middle and distributed it to Lennon on the right, Lennon crossed, Toni headed the ball in the middle and pushed the ball into the top left corner of the goal, Canizares couldn't reach it, Sheffield Wednesday extended the score to 2:0.

Valencia had little chance in the first half and the only hope was that Villa's shot caused Abondansheri to get out of his hands, but he reacted quickly and made another save to get the ball before Villa's follow-up shot.

In the end, Sheffield Wednesday went into the break with a two-goal advantage in the first half. At halftime, Lee Seung-bong made adjustments, and although the continuous attack in the first half achieved good results, the physical exertion of the players was also very large, and no team could maintain this attack intensity for the whole game.

'In the second half we were defensive but we couldn't all stay around the box, Valencia had the ability to take set-pieces and shoot from distance. We need to widen our defensive zone and use our runs to fill the holes in the defence. Li Chengfeng told his players, "This is the Champions League knockout round, every mistake may cause irreparable consequences, everyone must concentrate, do their best to fight, and never relax until the last moment." ”

At the start of the second half, Valencia took the lead but struggled to get into the Sheffield Wednesday penalty area and stepped up their long-range shots.

Angullo's long-range shot was blocked by Kompany, and in the 48th minute, Morientes' long-range shot from outside the box was saved by Abondanchery. Valencia's attacking coordination could not be played, and Sheffield Wednesday, who was defending with all their might, could not find any chance to counterattack, and Ribery broke through on the left without a teammate to respond, and in desperation, he shot with his feet and failed to form a threat.

In the 62nd minute, Valencia pulled a goal back, it was a set-piece opportunity, and a direct free-kick from outside the Villa box went straight into the top right corner of the goal, and Abondancherry was helpless.

Valencia, who pulled the goal back, did not rest and tried to equalise, but Sheffield Wednesday's sharp counter-attack finally paid off, and in the 75th minute, Juanfran dribbled up front, combined with Lennon and Toney in a series of one-twos before entering the box, receiving a pass and slotting home with a right-footed effort to extend the gap to two goals on Wednesday.

Time was running out and Valencia were on the line and they didn't want to return home with a two-goal deficit. In the 83rd minute, Villa took a corner kick, Ayala headed the goal, the ball hit Kompany and bounced to the other side, which caught Abondan Seri off guard, but Antonini, who was defending on the penalty line, blocked the ball and drove towards the front.

In the 84th minute, Valencia made a comeback, Villa shot from outside the penalty area, the power was great, Abondancheri got out of his hands, but fortunately Kompany defended in place and kicked the ball out of the bottom line. In the 86th minute, it was Villa who took a corner kick again, Kompany took the lead in pushing the ball out of the box, but the ball was picked up by Silva on the periphery, and he shot directly from the bottom right corner of the goal.

At 2:3, the gap between the two sides is back to one goal, and Valencia has two more away goals. Valencia, who had attacked the half, also showed fatigue, and the 2-3 result was not unacceptable, they relaxed their attack, and Sheffield Wednesday did not take the opportunity to counterattack. In the end, the two sides played 3-2, and Sheffield Wednesday won at home to Valencia in La Liga, although it was not perfect, but at least Sheffield Wednesday won, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with for this Champions League newcomer.

Sheffield Wednesday lost the next two league games. The game with Blackburn was too expensive because of the previous match with Valencia, Lee Seung-peak rotated too many main players, which led to the loss, and 3 days after the game with Chelsea was the second leg of the game with Valencia, Lee Seung-peak gritted his teeth and gave up, Sheffield Wednesday is not a giant, and the depth of the squad cannot support this intensity of multi-line battles, so there must be a trade-off.

This is also Sheffield Wednesday's first two-game losing streak this season, Sheffield Wednesday lost to Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea respectively, and the league ranking also fell to fourth, not only was Chelsea overtaken by 2 points, but Arsenal with 63 points also surpassed Sheffield Wednesday by 1 point, fortunately, Liverpool also lost one, the gap between the two teams reached as much as 9 points, Sheffield Wednesday is still relatively safe.

However, Arsenal ushered in another bad news, their king Thierry Henry is injured, and the injury is very serious, the season is out, there are nine games left in the league, and it is unknown if they can maintain their current position at the end of the season.

Sheffield Wednesday's second leg of the Champions League knockout tie against Valencia was played at Valencia's home stadium on 8 March 2007, for which Lee Seung-bong gave up two consecutive league games to make it to the next round. And Valencia, who was behind the score, was not willing to be eliminated.

The race was played at an extremely high pace and speed from the start. In the third minute, Ribery connected three people on the left flank, but was cut off when he passed the fourth; A minute later, it was Lennon's turn on the right, not as dexterous as Ribery, but quicker, as he violently broke through the three-man defence to win a free-kick for Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield Wednesday's players are excited for their first Champions League knockout game and they will be hoping to make history.

Luka Modric's set-piece was crossed into the box and Toney was crossed back to the middle, but Toure was cleared by Ayala for the spot-giving. In the 9th minute, Tony fell in the Valencia penalty area, but the referee did not say anything, which made Li Chengfeng indignant, Tony is not a person who likes to fake falls, since he fell, it must have been a foul by Valencia, and a penalty should be awarded.

In the 10th minute, Valencia also colored, Villa fired a shot from the left, and the ball went wide. In the 11th minute, Baraja suddenly fired a left-footed shot from 30 yards on the left side of the field, and Abondancheri fell to the ground to save the ball at the far post. After that, the two sides strengthened the midfield battle, and the scene was at a stalemate.

In the 19th minute, Angulo flew a curling ball from the right that looked like a cross to the near corner of the goal, and Abondancheri got the ball. One minute later, Morientes cut in from the left and suddenly fired a cold right-footed shot that went high. In the 22nd minute, Baraja made another long-range shot, and the ball went high again. Valencia played a wave of climaxes.

In the 24th minute, Modric collided with his opponent in the penalty area and fell to the ground, and the referee still did not award a penalty. In the 29th minute, there was an altercation on the pitch, and Toney made physical contact with the opponent as he grabbed the ball on the left side of the field, but Valencia goalkeeper Canizares rushed in to entangle Toney. Players from both teams gathered around to show solidarity with their teammates. The referee rushed over, separated the two sides, and showed a yellow card to Tony and Canizares. It's a fierce game, both sides want to win in the end, but there is only one winner, and maybe a goal can decide the fate of both sides.

In the 35th minute, Sheffield Wednesday won a great chance, Juanfran crossed from the right, Toni nodded the ball to the middle, Modric stood in front of the goal 4 meters to grab the spot, but the opposition defender Albio blocked it with his hand in front of the goal line, but the referee did not award a penalty.

Li Chengfeng jumped up angrily, threw down the water bottle in his hand, signaled to the referee on the field, and slapped his hand, but the referee was still unmoved.

What shit referee, Li Chengfeng angrily kicked the water bottle at his feet, and the water bottle sprayed water and flew out more than ten meters away in an arc. The referee finally noticed the situation and ran over to show a yellow card to Li Chengfeng.

What's the situation? Li Chengfeng spread his hands helplessly, having nothing to say.

Things happened again on the field, Baraja was injured and Hugo Viana replaced him. Valencia's main midfielder Albelda was injured before the game, and now Baraja is also injured, and their two midfielders are out of play, which is good news for Sheffield Wednesday, Li Chengfeng touched his chin and smiled.

The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, and if the score remained until the end, Valencia would be eliminated and they would have stepped up their attack in the second half. However, Valencia injured two main midfielders, and their midfield control will inevitably drop a little, and Lee Seungfeng feels that Sheffield Wednesday's opportunity has come.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. It was Valencia who took the lead in attacking, and in the 49th minute Valencia instigated a successful attack, Angulo crossed from the bottom, Juanfran cleared not far away, Villa followed up with a shot, the ball was blocked by Mascherano.

Sheffield Wednesday almost scored in the 50th minute, Juanfran crossed from the right, Modric followed up and jumped up with his right foot, and the ball smashed into the side netting!

In the 53rd minute, Valencia attacked in front, Angullo's pass on the right, and Villa and Morientes in the middle missed the grab, which was also their best chance of the game.

One minute later, Angulo crossed from the right again, and Morientes in the middle grabbed a header and shot, but the ball was saved by Abondanseri.

Seeing that Valencia attacked so fiercely and showed many flaws in the backcourt, Li Chengfeng made adjustments, he replaced Tony with Bent, and wanted to use Bent's speed to increase the success rate of the counterattack, Toney's effect in the counterattack was still a little worse.

In the 65th minute, Ribery cut inside on the left and split the ball, Lennon crossed after going down the right, Bent followed up to grab the point but was cleared by Canizares first.

In the 68th minute, Angulo received a yellow card for a foul on Ribery, who broke through on the counter-attack. Sheffield Wednesday tried to play with pace on the counter-attack, but Valencia frequently intercepted it with fouls and the game went to a stalemate. Sheffield Wednesday could have accepted that situation as they had won the first leg by one goal, but Valencia were not satisfied and they had to score to come back from the table.

In the 74th minute, Sheffield Wednesday's free kick from the right side was hoisted into the penalty area, and Kompany's close-range shot in the penalty area melee was blocked by the opponent Marchena standing on the goal line! Sheffield Wednesday missed the chance to kill the suspense.
