Chapter 724: Precious Penalty

"This goal is very dangerous, a mistake in the Juventus back line allowed Zhang Shujie to get such a good opportunity. Although the ball did not score, Juventus should pay attention to it, otherwise sooner or later it will be penetrated by Zhang Shujie. ”

The whole Juventus team knew that Zhang Shujie was powerful, and they were already very careful about his defense, but they were still hit twice, especially this time, and almost scored.

In the next ten minutes, Mandzukic, Dybala and Zhang Shujie each had another shot on goal, but none of them could score. However, the game began to get exciting, and the number of shots on goal increased, which also allowed the two teams to constantly attack each other.

The game lasted 40 minutes, and both sides had more than 15 shots on goal, but no goal was scored. Just when everyone thought the game would end 0-0 at half-time, Bonaventura's foul at the back gave Juventus a well-placed free-kick.

This free kick is close to the left side of the goal, 20 meters from the goal, can be shot or passed, AC Milan did not dare to be careless, quickly discharged a five-man human wall, Lopes also moved back and forth between the two goalposts, directing the human wall to stand, can not block the goalkeeper's view.

Zhao Wenkang was already standing in front of the ball. According to the understanding of the Chinese national team, as long as it is a free kick taken by Zhao Wenkang, it must be a pass priority, but that does not mean that he cannot shoot on his own, he scored a free kick in the league last season, and in his two years at Benfica, he also scored two free kicks. It's just because the national team has figures like Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and the free kicks that usually give priority to shooting are these two people who come first, and it won't be Zhao Wenkang.

But now at the club, it's hard to say, and it's not impossible if he suddenly hangs a far corner and catches Lopes off guard.

The referee's whistle blew, and after Zhao Wenkang ran for a long distance, he hoisted the ball to the far corner of AC Milan's goal. Judging from the trajectory of the ball, the fall range of the ball is within the range of the goal frame, and it is high and floating, the goalkeeper is not easy to pounce, and what is worse is that if this kind of ball is touched by a player halfway, even if it is just a slight rub, it is very likely to drill into the goal.

Mandzukic is the one who rubbed the ball.

He jumped up and rubbed the ball lightly with his forehead, the ball changed course slightly, and López made a full save, his fingers grazed the ball, but he still couldn't lift the ball out. The ball stuck to AC Milan's net and Juventus led 1-0 at home.

After more than 40 minutes, Juventus finally scored at the New Alp Stadium, Mandzukizi's fifth league goal of the season, and Zhao Wenkang, who opened his goal, provided his fourth assist, the team's first assist. Allegri was naturally very excited to see his team take the lead before half-time, but Inzaghi was a little depressed and stood on the sidelines with a frown.

Juventus walked into the dressing room with a 1-0 scoreline, and with a goal they had to play much better in the second half, while AC Milan needed to fight back, and they could not afford to lose.

Chen Hui sorted out the data of the first half of the two sides in the press box, and Juventus had a slight advantage on the whole, and it was somewhat surprising that AC Milan had two more shots on goal than Juventus, and the extra two were from Zhang Shujie. In fact, if Zhang Shujie's personal data is removed, then AC Milan will lag behind Juventus in many key statistics such as passes, shots, passes, etc.

Zhang Shujie had four shots on goal in the first 45 minutes, each of which was extremely threatening, and if it wasn't for Buffon's excellent performance or his own bad luck, AC Milan would have scored. Although Juventus have customized defensive tactics for Zhang Shujie, it does not seem to be very successful. If it goes on like this, Zhang Shujie in the second half is very exciting.

Juventus are AC Milan's strongest opponent in Serie A, and their defence will also be a test for Zhang Shujie. But in Chen Hui's opinion, if he can score two goals against Barcelona at Camp Nou, then he also has the strength to score at the New Alp Stadium.

After the start of the second half, the line-up of both sides did not change, and Juventus contracted a little. Zhang Shujie seemed to be deliberately reducing the number of shots on goal, and there were some chances that looked like he could shoot, but he didn't get up at random, but more of the ball was knocked on by his teammates, but the number of shots by other Milan players increased, with Bacca having two, Bonaventura twice, and Cerci also having one.

In the first fifteen minutes, AC Milan had five shots on goal, an average of one every three minutes, while Juventus had just two. Of course, this is not that AC Milan can press Juventus down, it is more that the "old lady" turns to defense. Allegri's tactics are mainly to inhibit Zhang Shujie's play, and he can't give him any space, otherwise he will lose the ball at any time.

"Juventus also tried their best to prevent Zhang Shujie from scoring! This AC Milan team is indeed very dependent on Zhang Shujie in terms of attack, if he is dumb, then Milan's attack will be paralyzed by more than half. ”

Yan Tao attacked, made the ball to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie took the ball with his back to Marchisio, and then passed the ball to Baca, who gave it to Antonelli, Antonelli and Bonaventura passed back and forth twice, and then did the ball to Zhang Shujie's side.

Zhang Shujie knocked on Abate, Abate wanted to rush a few times with speed, but found that he couldn't rush through, so he passed to Yan Tao, Yan Tao leaned on it at this time, almost to the front waist position, he observed his teammates, and decided to still hand the ball to Zhang Shujie.

After passing the ball, Yan Tao saw that Juventus's defense line was tighter, so he did not retreat, but rushed to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie was under the defense of Huang Yu, rubbed the ball to Yan Tao with his left foot, and ran into the penalty area.

Pogba didn't dare to make too much of a move this time, after all, Yan Tao entered the penalty area. The young French midfielder was a little relieved, and Yan Tao seized the opportunity and squeezed in.

Chiellini came up, Sturaro also came to block, Yan Tao's physical advantage played a role again, he squeezed the two, poked the toe of his right foot, and the ball stabbed Zhang Shujie's feet.

There was only one Buffon in front of him. stopped the ball with his left foot and was about to shoot, when Barzagli who came to the side accidentally kicked the instep of Zhang Shujie's raised right foot when he broke the ball, so that before his shooting action was fully made, he was hooked to the ground by Barzagli.

"Beep!"

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, he ran over and pointed to the penalty spot with his left finger!
