Chapter 964 - Equaling the Record
25 February, Stadio Olimpic, Roma vs AC Milan.
At this time, the game had just reached the tenth minute, and the score on the field was "Roma 0:1 AC Milan", and Chen Zihua was running to celebrate the goal. He latched on to Conte's cross and fired a left-footed shot from seven yards into the box to score his twelfth league goal of the season.
However, AC Milan did not lead for long, and in the 16th minute, De Rossi assisted Dzeko, and the Bosnian striker grabbed a favorable position in the battle with Yan Tao, scoring with a header to equalize for Roma with his 21st league goal. It is not often seen that he can win in the competition with Yan Tao for high-altitude balls. The commentator believes: "Yan Tao's bouncing power is world-famous, second only to Zhang Shujie in the team, Dzeko can compete with him, mainly because he has some advantages in height, and he is stuck in his position." β
Yan Tao also knows that he has some responsibility for conceding the goal this time, but fortunately, the game time is still long, as long as he does not make mistakes in the remaining time, then it is impossible for Roma to score again.
Sure enough, for the rest of the time, Yan Tao firmly stared at Zheke. Although he is not as tall as Dzeko, Yan Tao uses a good sense of position and excellent bounce, as long as Roma plays a high ball, he can rush the ball out before Dzeko. Helplessly, Roma can only play ground ball, and AC Milan's defense is very tight, and Roma can't penetrate it at all.
However, AC Milan failed to score again in the first half, and the two sides entered the second half with a score of 1:1. At halftime, Inzaghi stressed that the team's attack must be strengthened, and he analyzed it according to Roma's offensive tactics in the first half and the team's defensive ability, allowing Zhang Shujie to stay in the front court without retreating.
In the 59th minute, Xu Ziyi divided the ball in the middle, Rodriguez passed back to Bonaventura near the bottom line, Bonaventura picked up the front court again, Zhang Shujie's run tore apart the Roma defense, Chen Zihua inserted it from behind, and hit the goal with a header, and once again exceeded the score for AC Milan.
Chen Zihua scored his thirteenth league goal of the season, in addition to ten assists, and his third brace of the season. As a midfielder, Chen Zihua has done a very good job.
The backward Roma also strengthened their counter-attack, but neither Dzeko, nor El Shaarawy, nor the new De Vre, could knock on Donnarumma's ten fingers. And Milan's defence is really tight, and they have no more options.
In the seventy-second minute, Roma's attack was intercepted by Milan, Chen Zihua received a pass from Bonaventura, and made a long pass directly in the backfield, Zhang Shujie in the front field started in reverse, shook off the defenders of Rome, and broke into the penalty area with a single knife.
3:1! This score is basically equivalent to a win for the powerful AC Milan, especially now that the time is less than 20 minutes, it is very difficult for Roma to come back. What's more, with Zhang Shujie's 37th goal in the league, he has also scored in 21 consecutive league games, tying Messi's record!
"Zhang Shujie is now equaling Messi's record of consecutive goals in the 2011/2012 season, and if he can score again in the next round, then he will break Messi's miracle!
Zhang Shujie is also very happy, being able to do this step is sometimes not only a reflection of strength, but even needs some illusory luck, Zhang Shujie has strength and good luck to catch up with Messi. And the next thing he wants to do is to surpass Messi!
AC Milan beat Roma 3-1 away. Although Zhang Shujie scored a very meaningful goal in the game, the man of the match undoubtedly belonged to Chen Zihua, who scored two shots and one pass to help AC Milan win on the road and continue to lead the Serie A table.
AC Milan will face Inter Milan at the San Siro in the 27th round, and Zhang Shujie is looking forward to the local derby, and it would be wonderful to score a record-breaking goal in such a match with a historical grudge.
********************
After a day of training, Zhang Shujie returned home. He is like this almost every day, his life is very monotonous, he goes home to accompany Wang Shihan, and from time to time he will go out shopping with Wang Shihan, and occasionally go out with Chen Zihua and others. It's just that more time is spent on Wang Shihan.
"You're back. Wang Shihan had just cooked and served it to the table. Every day when she sees Zhang Shujie go home, she will say this.
Zhang Shujie also nodded habitually: "Hmm." Then he asked, "What did you eat?"
"It's the same as before. β
Considering that Zhang Shujie is a professional player, many high-calorie foods should be avoided, and Wang Shihan's dishes are also very simple, and meat products are mainly beef. In order to make his career longer, Zhang Shujie is also very strict with himself, and he knows by heart what he should eat and what he shouldn't eat.
In the past, Zhang Shujie would often talk to Wang Shihan about the competition at home, but now, he rarely mentions it. He has come to understand that home is a safe haven and that he shouldn't talk too much about work. Enough games have been played and training in the team is a lot, and he wants more warmth and quiet at home.
It's just that sometimes, he will play live with Wang Shihan, and in most cases, he is letting Wang Shihan, and he can't compete with his fiancΓ©e.
Zhang Shujie likes to sit in the courtyard and tease the two Samoyeds that Wang Shihan bought. Before getting married, the two did not plan to have children, and even if they got married in the second half of this year, they would not have children for at least a year. Wang Shihan is only 26 years old, and she hopes to be a mother later.
Wang Shihan fed the two pet dogs, and then sat next to Zhang Shujie, the sky was gradually getting a little dark, and the lights were also lit up in this historic city. Both of them like this city very much, but they have no plans to live here for a long time, Zhang Shujie will definitely return to Dalian after retiring, and Wang Shihan is the same. After all, "hometown" is something that every Chinese values very much.
"It's really unconscious!" Wang Shihan said.
Zhang Shujie didn't understand: "What?"
"Day after day, year after year. β
Zhang Shujie said with a smile: "It's not more than a third of this year, how can it be so early." β
"Soon. Sometimes it really doesn't feel it. β
Zhang Shujie did not argue, in fact, Wang Shihan also made sense. Especially their professional players, they always inadvertently, a season has passed, which means that they are a year older.
Zhang Shujie leaned back on the bench and hugged Wang Shihan in his arms, and Wang Shihan's whole person seemed to become soft at this moment. In fact, no matter what, no matter how fast or slow the time is, it is good to have someone around you.
