Chapter 843: Advance to the Final Four Again!
When Zhang Shujie returned to the locker room, he found Bonaventura changing shin guards. It turned out that there was something wrong with his shin guards, and he had to rush back to get another one.
Inzaghi doesn't need to explain anything in particular, AC Milan is completely dominant, and the game is smooth, Inzaghi doesn't need to change anything at all, just play according to the rhythm. If there is any change in the second half, make adjustments on the spot.
After the start of the second half, AC Milan still held the initiative, Leicester City also invested more troops in the attack, coach Shax Peal replaced Andy King, removed Shinji Okazaki who had nothing to do with Yan Tao in the first half, Leicester's frontcourt attack improved after Andy King came on, but Milan's defense was very neat, and one Andy King couldn't change anything at all.
In the 66th minute, Chen Zihua made a delicate diagonal kick on the left side, the ball rolled past the opponent's four-sided players, and accurately fell to the feet of Zhang Shujie, facing the attacking goalkeeper, Zhang Shujie picked up with his right foot, and the ball crossed Schmeichel Jr. and fell into Leicester's goal.
AC Milan scored another goal, the score became 3-0, and Zhang Shujie scored a hat-trick, having scored at least three goals in a game four times this season. Leicester was also unlucky to meet such a powerful striker as Zhang Shujie. ”
Inzaghi watched Zhang Shujie and his teammates celebrate the goal, applauded, and he looked at the time again, planning to give Zhang Shujie another five minutes, and then replace him with a break.
What I didn't expect was that in these five minutes, Zhang Shujie scored another goal!
He received a long pass from Yan Tao near the center circle, stopped the ball with his left foot, and rubbed the ball into the goal with his right foot, rewriting the score to 4:0.
The announcer at the scene was a little stunned, and he was stunned: "Zhang Shujie scored the fourth goal and completed the senior year! His Champions League goals this season have also increased to 13, surpassing Messi and dominating the top scorer list!"
After Chen Hui saw Zhang Shujie score three goals, he guessed that if Inzaghi could give him enough time, then the fourth goal should not be a problem, but what he didn't expect was that the fourth goal came so quickly, with an interval of less than three minutes.
"Zhang Shujie should be replaced now, right?" Chen Hui thought secretly.
Sure enough, just after Zhang Shujie's celebratory goal ended, he saw the fourth official outside the field holding up the LCD sign for the substitution, and Lapadula replaced Zhang Shujie, the hero of the goal. When he left the pitch, all the San Siro fans stood up and applauded him.
The applause was very loud, and the Leicester fans were already convinced by him. Although Zhang Shujie did not dazzle or run at high speed in this game, he showed the qualities of a striker, as evidenced by four goals.
Chen Hui looked at Zhang Shujie waving his hand to thank the fans, and suddenly laughed: "In this round of the game, he probably used seven successes." ”
When the final whistle blew, AC Milan also beat Leicester City 4-0 at home and had already stepped into the last four with one foot. Zhang Shujie, who was named Man of the Match and spoke after the game, said: "I would like to thank my team-mates, especially Bonaventura, Deulofeu, Chen Zihua and Yan Tao, for their accurate passes that allowed me to score these four goals. I think it's normal for the team to win, but we still have one round and we won't take it lightly no matter what. ”
"Do you think you're going to score a fifth goal if you stay on the pitch?"
Zhang Shujie smiled and said: "It's hard to say, as a striker, I definitely hope to score as many goals as possible." But if the fifth chance is a well-placed free kick or a penalty, I'll give it to my team-mates. ”
Perhaps this game is not as much attention as Manchester City's game against Barcelona, but Zhang Shujie's four goals still attracted countless media. "Milan Sport" believes that Zhang Shujie is very likely to regain the top scorer in the Champions League this season. The Spanish newspaper "As" even shouted to Ronaldo: "Be careful of your Champions League goal record in 2014." ”
The implication is that "Zhang Shujie's recent form is too hot, and Ronaldo's single-season record of 17 goals in 2013/2014 may not be able to be kept." ”
After AC Milan returned to the league, it was only two days before the match against Inter Milan, at the Meazza Stadium, Zhang Shujie played the whole game but did not score, but relying on the goals of Deulofeu, Romagnoli and Zapata, AC Milan beat Inter Milan 3:2 away. Juventus beat Pescara 2-0 in this round and the two teams are still level on points, with AC Milan leading the table on goal difference.
After the end of the league, it was the Champions Cup again, and the intensity of the game was a great physical drain on the players, but fortunately AC Milan won 4-0 in the first leg, and the psychological pressure was much less when playing away in the second leg.
At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City, who scored first, Jamie Vardy broke the deadlock in the 31st minute, and Leicester led AC Milan 1-0. But in the second half, AC Milan scored two goals in a row with goals from Suso and Chen Zihua in the 60th and 79th minutes respectively, and defeated Leicester City 2:1 away, and advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 6:1 over the two legs.
The last time was in the 2006/2007 season, when AC Milan went all the way to the final, where they took revenge on Liverpool and brought the humiliation of an Istanbul night to victory. Interestingly, the player who scored two goals for AC Milan and helped the team win the championship is now the manager of AC Milan: Filip Inzaghi!
I don't know if this coincidence is destined for anything, and will it bring anything to AC Milan?
In other matches, Manchester City drew 0-0 away at Barcelona and eliminated Barcelona 3-0 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals, Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 4-2 at home and eliminated the Southern Kings 6-3 on aggregate, and Monaco was the last team to reach the semi-finals with a two-legged 3-2 aggregate score against Chelsea.
These four teams are all from four different leagues, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the Bundesliga has not entered the semi-finals for two consecutive years, Bayern Munich's aging age has made them less competitive in the Champions League, Real Madrid has maintained the trend of competing for the title as always, the local tycoon Manchester City has also been competitive in the Champions League after stumbling for a few years, the young Monaco has shown people their youthful storm, and the new AC Milan is now making a comeback, and it is bound to regain its dominance in the Champions League!
