Chapter 969 is about the league championship

On March 18, in the 29th round of Serie A, AC Milan played Chievo at home.

In the 60th minute of the second half, AC Milan led 2-0, and the scorers were Antonio Conte and Locatelli, both of whom came from assists from Zhang Shujie.

At present, Zhang Shujie has a total of four attacks, two hit within the range of the goal frame, but failed to score, it seems that he does not seem impatient, Kalinic on the sidelines is warming up, Zhang Shujie knows that at most fifteen minutes, Kalinic will replace him.

Although Zhang Shujie wants to play the full game in every game, it is not a very practical thing to do, and the pressure of the team to play on both fronts makes it necessary for him to take a proper rest. Not only him, but players such as Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Yan Tao, Rodriguez, and Conte have all been replaced on different occasions.

In the seventy-three minutes of the game, Xu Ziyi's shot missed the goal frame, and the fourth official on the sidelines raised the LCD card for substitutions, No. 9 Zhang Shujie went down, and No. 7 Kalinic went up. Since then, Zhang Shujie has failed to score in the half, counting the Champions League three days ago, he has not scored in two consecutive games, but compared to the previous round of the Champions League, he provided two assists in this game, bringing his league assist tally to eight.

In the next ten minutes, Xu Ziyi and Chen Zihua were also replaced by Calhanoglu and Kessie, and AC Milan finally won 2-0 and continued to dominate the top of the standings.

On March 31, AC Milan will take on Juventus at the Estadio Nueva Alp, which will have a crucial score that could even affect the title of Serie A this season. In the first leg, AC Milan defeated Juventus 3-1 with Zhang Shujie's brace and Xu Ziyi's goal.

Both sides attach great importance to this game, and they have sent all their main forces, and all the media have also been present, and they will not be far away from missing the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The new Alp Stadium has long been full of fans, in fact, every time Zhang Shujie comes here, his mood is always a little complicated, because it is in this stadium that he has gradually grown into a world-class superstar, if it was not for Marotta insisted on bringing him here, it is difficult to say what Zhang Shujie would have achieved.

It's just that this mood is not very strong feelings, after all, he has only been here for a year. More of a gratitude, it should be a kind of gratitude to Marotta.

In the game, the first side to score was Juventus, who was playing at home, Zhao Wenkang assisted Mandzukic with a free kick, broke the door guarded by Donnarumma, and the score became 1:0, and the game only lasted thirteen minutes.

AC Milan were not in a hurry, they still had plenty of time, and they used a strong midfield to control the ball. Zhang Shujie had two shots on goal in the first 30 minutes, but both were a bit high, and the Rossoneri's most dangerous shot came in the 27th minute, when Chen Zihua volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the box, and Buffon made a flying save to hold the ball up on the bottom edge of the crossbar, bounce off the goal line and bounce off again.

Juventus escaped, and even Allegri on the sidelines thought the team was lucky. It's just not known how long this luck will last.

Finally, in the forty-first minute of the first half, Chen Zihua divided the ball on the right side, Conte crossed the penalty area after going down, Zhang Shujie saw that there was no space to shoot, and gave the ball to Silva, Silva raised his leg and shot a kick, which was blocked by Buffon, the ball bounced to Zhang Shujie's feet, Zhang Shujie took a step back and gave it to Xu Ziyi.

Xu Ziyi selflessly passed the ball to the unmarked Silva when she could hit the goal, and Silva did not live up to his trust, easily scoring the ball and equalizing for Milan.

It was Silva's 16th league goal of the season, equalling his personal record for Porto last season, where he scored 16 goals in 32 games compared to 30 in Milan. With Silva's quality, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses that number this season.

Maybe this number of goals is really small compared to Zhang Shujie, but considering that Milan No. 9 is the first brother in the team and the absolute boss of the dressing room, Silva is the wingman next to Zhang Shujie, and at the beginning of the season, he still has to compete with Kalinic for the main force, so it is not easy for the Portuguese striker to score so many goals.

The first half of the two sides played 1:1, after the start of the second half, Juventus accelerated the pace of attack, AC Milan followed their will, the formation retreated a little, which is also in line with Milan's style, the opponent wants to attack? Okay, according to you! If the attack is not played, and the ball is taken away by Milan, then the defense will be in trouble.

Juventus encountered such a thing, Dybala and Mandzukic's pass in front was intercepted by Bonucci, AC Milan played a fast attack, Xu Ziyi divided the ball on the left side, Rodriguez got the ball diagonally in the front, Silva knocked on the penalty area again, Zhang Shujie stepped forward and pushed the ball into the net with his left foot, but before he had time to celebrate, the linesman raised the flag, and the referee immediately blew him offside.

His 41st league goal was blown away by the referee, but it was an offside position after all, and the referee couldn't show any favoritism just because he was a superstar.

In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, AC Milan had just one shot on goal, which came from Zhang Shujie's offside goal, while Juventus had three, but two of them were done from outside the box, and the threat could only be described as mediocre. Juventus had a higher percentage of possession, and AC Milan did not need much possession in these fifteen minutes, they wanted a lethal blow.

Allegri began to make substitutions, bringing on Marchisio for Khedira. To be honest, many people don't understand Allegri's substitution tactics, Khedira's performance has actually been very good, and Marchisio may not be able to replace him after he comes on the field. Three minutes later, "Uncle Embarrassment" replaced Lichtsteiner with Desiglio.

Desiglio is a complete substitute at Juventus, and he can still get some playing time in most cases, and if he stays at AC Milan, I am afraid that he will not even be able to sit on the bench. This group of Milan players has no nostalgia for him, one is the strength problem, De Sciglio has not reached the attitude of making the team reluctant to give up, and the other is that most of the Milan players are newcomers, and they have little intersection with De Sciglio before, let alone friendship. Even veteran players like Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua usually don't have much contact with Desiglio, only Yan Tao, Romagnoli and other defenders can talk to him more.

Desiglio gave AC Milan a big gift as soon as he came on the pitch, leaking the ball and the man directly, and almost allowing Silva to score his 17th league goal. Had it not been for Buffon's bravery, Desiglio would probably have become a sinner. Allegri, who was outside the court, couldn't help but scold: "This guy, why is he acting like an undercover agent?"
