AC Milan will also sign Ocampos from ****** after signing Deulofeu on loan. In addition, Eli, DeSantis and Niang in the team are sure to leave, in fact, Niang himself does not want to leave, but the team has no place for him and has to loan him out for half a year.

On January 26, the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia began, AC Milan's opponent was Juventus, the match was played at the Stade Nueva Alp, Dybala took the lead for Juventus in the 10th minute of the game, and 11 minutes later, Pjanic extended the score to 2:0.

Although it was only a Coppa Italia, the opponent was Juventus, AC Milan obviously did not want to lose the game, in the 53rd minute of the second half, Bacca recovered a point for the team, and in the 75th minute, Zhang Shujie scored with a header to equalize the score.

Five minutes later, Deulofeu came on in place of Bacca for his first appearance for Milan, and his performance after coming on was average, not brilliant, but there was nothing wrong with it, and it can only be said that it was decent. After 90 minutes, the two sides played 2:2 and went into extra time, but both sides played very conservatively in extra time, did not dare to attack rashly, and finally had to go to a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, AC Milan's Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Deulofeu, and Bonaventura all scored penalties, and Suso's penalty was saved by Buffon;

AC Milan defeated Juventus 4-3 on penalties to advance to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 6-5, at least Juventus, and this season's Coppa Italia will end here.

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

On January 28, there is one day left before the start of the 21st round of Serie A.

Zhang Shujie still came to the Milanello training base early as before, and as soon as he opened the door of the locker room, he heard footsteps coming behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Deulofeu.

Seeing Zhang Shujie, Deulofeu seemed to be stunned for a moment before he said, "Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so early." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled and said, "You are the same." With that, he walked into the locker room.

Deulofeu also walked in. Since the two had only known each other for a few days and were not very familiar with each other, they did not speak and did their own things.

Deulofeu looked at Zhang Shujie, the Chinese striker who was hailed by the media as one of the "Four Kings" of today's football (the other three are Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Li Mu, all of whom have the Ballon d'Or in their hands). Deulofeu asked: "Zhang, I saw from the media that you are the first to come to the training ground every day, right?"

Zhang Shujie didn't look up and said, "It should be, I didn't pay attention to this either." ”

"When I first came to the team, I said that I would come to the training ground early to make a good impression on everyone, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me. ”

"I'm just used to it, and as long as I train, I'm pretty much at this time. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shujie stood up and prepared to go to the gym to exercise his body.

Deulofeu said at this time: "I really envy you, you have achieved so much at such a young age. ”

Zhang Shujie was stunned and said, "Is my achievement great?"

"Of course. League Championships, European Champions, Asian Cup Champions, League Golden Boots, Champions League Golden Boots, European Golden Boots, Best Player, Ballon d'Or winners, almost all the honors that a professional player can get, and they are all obtained as the team's first brother. ”

Zhang Shujie smiled and said: "I haven't won the World Cup yet, and there is only one Golden Ball Award, and after the FIFA Golden Ball Award is separated, I haven't won the World Footballer yet." ”

"As long as we work hard, then the honor will not be too far away from us. ”

Zhang Shujie nodded and said, "I also hope to get these things." Alright, let's go to the gym. ”

"Zhang, wait. Deulofeu stopped him.

Zhang Shujie turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Deulofeu thought for a moment and said, "We'...... Can I take a group photo?"

Zhang Shujie was stunned again and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

So Deulofeu took out his mobile phone and took a selfie with Zhang Shujie.

Another person walked into the locker room, and the two turned their heads to look, it turned out to be Chen Zihua coming. Chen Zihua was a little strange when he saw the two of them, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Deulofeu said: "I'm taking a photo with Zhang, Chen, you can come too, I'll take a picture with you too." ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Zihua did not refuse in the face of Deulofeu's invitation, and the two took a picture, and then, the three of them stood together and took another photo, of which Deulofeu stood in the middle.

Then the three of them went into the gym together, and it didn't take long for their teammates to arrive, and about an hour and a half later, all the AC Milan players arrived. From this time, it is not difficult to speculate that Zhang Shujie has much more training time than other players every day, and it is no wonder that he will become the first star to break the monopoly of Melo.

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

AC Milan's training in the morning was not intense, Inzaghi did not arrange technical and tactical arrangements, the training content was relatively simple, and it was mainly based on ball sense exercises. The fact that these pros are able to make so many unbelievable technical moves on the pitch is inseparable from their feeling on the ball, which has to be practiced every day and maintained at all times.

Zhang Shujie, Bonaventura, Suso, and Chen Zihua are practicing tennis football, which AC Milan did not have at last season, and this was added at the beginning of this season after Zhang Shujie and Inzaghi discussed, which is of great help to the players in terms of ball sense and small skills.

Yan Tao, Romagnoli, Locatelli practice three-legged short pass coordination, if you want to talk about the technique alone, Locatelli is not worse than the two, but in the frequency of the ball, Locatelli is much slower, making him easy to lose the ball on the field, once someone presses him, he is a little panicked, and he loses the ball in a panic.

He plays as a midfielder, which is a very important position, tactically speaking, it is the link between the team's attack and defence, one step forward, it is the center of attack, and one step back, it is an important area to defend, if you concede the ball in this position, it will not only break up the team's attack, but also put the back line in a very threatening position. Therefore, the player who plays this position must be stable enough on his feet, not only to be able to protect the ball, but also to be able to hand the ball to a safe place, and in the counterattack, he can also use a pass to penetrate the opponent's midfield defense and create opportunities for the attacking players.

For example, Real Madrid's Luka Modric and Kroos, Juventus' Zhao Wenkang, and former AC Milan's organizational defender Andrea Pirlo are all like this.

Locatelli is still a little short of a stretch and it remains to be seen whether he can reach the heights of any of the above, but Inzaghi hopes to see the day when he becomes a superstar.
