"Zhang Shujie announced his retirement at the end of the season!"

This is the biggest news before the game, and it has been published in almost every sports magazine in the world, and even many entertainment magazines have taken advantage of the news. "Milan Sport" said: "Expected, but also unexpected. In fact, as Zhang Shujie gets older, we have a hunch that there will be this day soon. However, when such words came out of his mouth, it was still very shocking and incredible. Zhang Shujie only has one last game left in his career, and in this battle for Champions League qualification, I believe Zhang Shujie will have a wonderful performance. ”

Chen Hui said: "It's a pity that from next season, we will never be able to see Zhang Shujie on the green field again. His performance was only the last ninety minutes. I don't know what to say, so I'd better wait until he's done and then say what I want to say. ”

Li Yonghong said: "I would love that Zhang Shujie could stay for at least another season, but retiring is his decision, and I can't change his mind. He's a great striker, the best player in the world. ”

Inzaghi also said: "It makes me sad to hear him say something like that. He is Milan's top scorer, with 497 goals that no one can beat for at least a hundred years. I asked him if he wanted to score 500 goals for Milan and he said yes, but he didn't think about it. He just wants to help Milan reach next season's Champions League, and even if he doesn't score in this game, he doesn't think he has any regrets. He told me that 497 goals is a staggering number, even if it doesn't reach 500, and I feel very relieved that he has chosen to retire at the San Siro, and when I left the stadium, Jose Mourinho told me that a great player should retire at a great club, and now I give that to Zhang Shujie. ”

Milan fans exploded after learning the news, many fans spontaneously organized to wear Zhang Shujie's No. 9 jersey in the game, and they uniformly customized Zhang Shujie's big head poster, to show their love for Zhang Shujie with practical actions. Unexpectedly, when Udinese fans learned the news, they also reached an agreement with Milan fans that they would wear Zhang Shujie's jersey and bring Zhang Shujie's poster during the game.

It may seem strange that Udinese fans would actually wear Milan jerseys. Mainly because Udinese are certain to qualify for next season's Europa League, they don't have much demand for the game, and the best player in the world is retiring after this game, and as a sign of respect for the player, Udinese fans don't mind making an exception.

The outside world has made a fuss about this matter, but AC Milan is still calm inside, Zhang Shujie said to Inzaghi in advance, I hope that teammates will not be like the media, they must stay calm, and the most critical thing now is the last game of Milan.

May 28, the 38th round of Serie A. In this round, Roma's game was played early, and they beat relegated Palermo away to move two points above AC Milan in fourth place. If AC Milan can't beat Udinese in this round, they won't be able to play in the Champions League next season.

When Zhang Shujie walked into the stadium from the players' tunnel, he found that all the fans were wearing red and black sword striped shirts, and in the South Stand, a huge banner almost covered the entire stand, which was written in Italian and Chinese: "Zhang Shujie, thank you for everything you have dedicated to Milan, thank you for bringing Milan back to the top, we are not willing to let you go, no matter where we are in the future, we will always love you and miss you forever." ”

Zhang Shujie's eyes were a little moist, and in order not to let his emotions affect his state, he quickly turned around and stopped paying attention to the things in the stands.

Li Yonghong invited Wang Shihan to the VIP room for this game, which is also the first time Wang Shihan has entered here, and she will watch her husband's last performance on the court in this place.

**********************

After the start of the game, Udinese did not immediately devote themselves to attacking, and for them who had no pursuit, they preferred to play health ball. But AC Milan can't, they have to give it their all and win games to get to next season's Champions League.

Only four minutes after the opening, Zhang Shujie completed a shot at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, but unfortunately it was a little high, causing the Milan fans on the scene to sigh again and again; three minutes later, it was Zhang Shujie again, in the same position, a powerful volley, the ball hit the leg of the opponent's defender and rebounded, the goalkeeper saved in the wrong direction, watching the ball fly towards the goal.

But the ball eventually hit the crossbar, bounced off and was cleared by a defender. In the stands, the AC Milan fans sighed again.

"Zhang Shujie is still in good form, everyone knows that this is the last game of Zhang Shujie's career, I think even if you are not a Milan fan, I hope he can lead Milan to victory and qualify for next season's Champions League. Of course, I also hope to be able to score goals, Zhang Shujie has scored 10 goals in 20 games in Serie A, which is not much, but he has maintained the efficiency of one goal in two games. At the age of thirty-seven, it is rare to be in such a state. ”

AC Milan took advantage of the home advantage, and the suppression of Udinese was obvious. However, Udinese were not completely out of chances, as they were dangerous with both shots from inside the box in the 22nd and 29th minutes, but Donnarumma's brilliant play prevented them from scoring at the San Siro.

Zhang Shujie did not let the world wait too long, in the 33rd minute, Mbappe's shot on the right side of the penalty area was saved, and then he grabbed the second point, aimed at the middle of the road, and then crossed to the goal, Zhang Shujie arrived in time and swept with his right foot, and the score became 1:0!

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became enthusiastic, and everyone saw the scene they wanted to see the most. Zhang Shujie changed his previous celebrations, he ran to the south stand, half-knelt on the ground, and kissed the Milan badge on his chest.

All Milan shouted: "Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie!"

The commentator at the scene said: "Zhang Shujie used his eleventh Serie A goal to take the lead for AC Milan, it is worth mentioning that this is the 498th goal scored by Zhang Shujie in his thirteen-year Milan career, and there is still a gap of two goals from the 500-goal fetty." Theoretically, he still has a chance to achieve this goal. ”

If the game is counted in injury time, there is still about an hour left, Zhang Shujie did not deliberately think about this problem, otherwise he would not have announced his retirement for the season, because he did not know whether he could score a hat-trick, in his eyes, only victory is the most important thing.
