Chapter 1239: Wounded
On April 29, at the San Siro Stadium, Inter Milan players were surrounding Icardi, and on the LCD screen outside the stadium, the score was displayed as "AC Milan 0:1 Inter Milan", the scorer was Icardi, and the goal occurred in the 29th minute.
Inter Milan are leading away! This AC Milan cannot tolerate, especially in this game where Inzaghi sent all the main players. In the subsequent game, they accelerated the pace of attack, but they couldn't score the goal for a long time, Zhang Shujie's three shots were all missed by the goalpost, and Chen Zihua also had a header on the goalpost.
Milan were 1-0 down at home in the first half and continued to intensify their attack in the second half, but the goal never came. Zhang Shujie was also a little anxious, and even he received a yellow card for a foul in the 73rd minute.
In the 78th minute of the game, AC Milan finally equalized the score. Xu Ziyi's shot after bursting into the penalty area was saved, and Casey stepped forward to shoot into the net to make the score 1:1. Casey wanted to celebrate after the goal, but was stopped by Zhang Shujie: "Don't celebrate, hurry up and hold the ball back and wait for them to kick off!"
Now that it's a draw, neither Inter Milan nor AC Milan can accept the scoreline, they need to win, one to win the title and the other to get into the Champions League.
"Now both teams have the belief to win, and the rest of the time can say that whoever can score another goal will basically guarantee the win. ”
In the eighty-ninth minute of the game, Inter Milan was cut off by AC Milan in an attack, they immediately played a counterattack, Xu Ziyi found that the opponent's backfield was particularly empty, so he directly kicked up a long pass before he reached the middle circle, Zhang Shujie successfully countered offside, and after volleying the ball in front of the penalty area, he shook the goalkeeper and hit the ball with his left foot into the empty goal. 2:1! AC Milan overtakes the score at home!
Needless to say, the crucialness of this goal goes without saying, just look at the excited Milan bench, everyone is in a frenzy. Inzaghi was even more excited and shouted on the sidelines, as if this almost killer goal was not scored by Zhang Shujie but by him.
"AC Milan scored a comeback goal at the end of the game, and it was Zhang Shujie who saved Milan! It was his 38th league goal of the season, and it took him only 31 games to reach that number, and he was just one step away from the 40 mark. ”
Zhang Shujie himself doesn't care if he can increase his goal tally to 40, in his career, he has scored more than 40 league goals in five seasons, and even scored 50 goals on one occasion!
The game ended with AC Milan beating Inter Milan 2-1, and with this three points, the Rossoneri are back at the top of the table. "Milan Sport" quipped: "It seems that there is no final championship until the final round of the league." ”
After this round of the league, AC Milan will play in the last four of the Champions League, and they will face Real Madrid. Once, the match between Real Madrid and Milan was considered a duel between Zhang Shujie and Ronaldo, but now, the 37-year-old Ronaldo has lost his main position in Real Madrid and has been replaced by Asensio, who has gradually entered the peak of his career. He has scored 30 goals in the league and led Real Madrid all the way to the league, leaving Barcelona in second place by as many as seven points, and winning the league title is almost a foregone conclusion, and now it is up to the Champions League.
If Asensio can lead his team to beat Zhang Shujie's AC Milan, then it will be a good boost for him to win the Ballon d'Or, and it will be up to him to see if he can get through it.
The first leg between the two sides was played at the San Siro, and AC Milan had to take advantage of the home advantage to win against Real Madrid and score as many goals as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to play against in the second leg.
Real Madrid also want to win, and at the end of the day, they need to score away goals. Even if they lose, only one is allowed to lose, and both sides have their own minds and attack each other on the San Siro pitch. Due to the particularly strong attacking power of both sides, the attack is also particularly good-looking, and the goalkeepers of both teams have become the busiest people.
With Keylor Navas leaving Real Madrid this season, David De Gea became the goalkeeper of the Galaxy as promised, and he and Donnarumma both picked up high and low blocks, and saved each other's shots again and again. Whether it is Zhang Shujie or Asensio, neither of them can break through the opponent's city.
In the first half, the two sides exchanged blanks, and in the second half, the two teams continued to play a fuss about the attack. In the 59th minute of the game, Conte took the ball from the side, and Zhang Shujie pressed Varane's header in the penalty area, and the score became 1:0.
Just as the AC Milan players and fans were about to celebrate, they found Zhang Shujie lying on the ground and did not get up. Yan Tao saw that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to ask, only then did he know that he was injured.
Now AC Milan is all in their throats, and when they saw Zhang Shujie lying all the time, they guessed that his injury might not be light, not to mention anything else, at least this game should not be able to last.
The referee signaled AC Milan's team doctor to hurry up and come on the pitch. The audience in front of the TV saw through the slow-motion replay that it was Zhang Shujie and Varane who were competing for a header, and Varane stepped on Zhang Shujie's ankle on the way down, and the whole ankle was deformed the moment it touched the ground. Now the concern is, will this cause a tear in the ligament?
Zhang Shujie was carried off a stretcher and carried into the tunnel before leaving the pitch to bring a goal to AC Milan, his 14th Champions League goal of the season, which helped Milan lead Real Madrid at home.
However, Inzaghi's mood is very heavy, and Zhang Shujie was also injured in the Champions League semi-finals last year, which caused AC Milan to fail to reach the final, and even almost lost the league title for a time. Looking at Zhang Shujie's situation, I wonder if this year's tragedy will be repeated.
Inzaghi hopes to use this leading goal to trade for a healthy Zhang Shujie.
Cutrone temporarily replaced Zhang Shujie on the field, and the power of AC Milan in the offensive line without Zhang Shujie will definitely be greatly reduced. Neither Cutrone nor Andrea Silva can replace Zhang Shujie. Less than 10 minutes after Zhang Shujie came off, Real Madrid tied the score, and it was Asensio who scored the equaliser for them.
The Real Madrid youngster equalised with his seventh Champions League goal of the season. At the same time, this is also Asensio's 40th goal for Real Madrid in all competitions, and after Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid finally has another striker with "40 goals in the season". At this moment, Ronaldo is sitting on the bench, smiling and applauding Asensio.
