On April 18, at the Ferraris Stadium in Italy, Zhang Shujie ran on the pitch to his heart's content, running to the stands of his own fans and listening to the fans' shouts to him.

I only heard the on-site commentator say: "It's so exciting, it's so wonderful! A very beautiful turn volley, Zhang Shujie scored his 36th Serie A goal this season, and he also surpassed Nodal's record of 35 goals in the 1949/1950 season, since then, all the strikers who play in Serie A have to challenge his new record, and what is even more terrifying is that the game is not over yet, there are still five rounds left in the season, and he may continue to increase his statistics!"

On the LCD screen outside the stadium, it was clearly written "Sampdoria 0:2 AC Milan, 63′ Baka, 79′ Zhang Shujie." Inzaghi clapped on the sidelines, laughing and saying to Tasotti next to him: "It's incredible, he set a new record in his first season back in Serie A. ”

Chen Hui also recorded this historic scene, Nodal held the goal record for more than half a century, and was surpassed by Zhang Shujie.

In fact, at this time, Inzaghi had enough reasons to replace Zhang Shujie off the field for a break, but Inzaghi thought about it for a while and decided to let him stay on the field, which seemed to be a not very wise decision, which brought a heavy blow to his Milan.

In the 84th minute of the game, Zhang Shujie was accidentally injured and fell to the ground in a scramble with Sampdoria defender Casani.

"Zhang Shujie is injured and can no longer stay on the field, but we don't know how serious his injury is, I hope it won't affect his next game, AC Milan can't do without him on the road to the championship. ”

The game ended with AC Milan winning 2-0 away, but Inzaghi and the Milan fans were not happy at all, and Zhang Shujie went down due to injury, casting a shadow on the team's road to the title. Answering questions from reporters at the post-match press conference, Inzaghi said: "I don't know if Zhang Shujie's injury is serious or not, and I will need further diagnosis and treatment before I can answer your questions. ”

Twelve hours later, Zhang Shujie's injury report came out, and the official AC Milan website announced it as soon as possible: Zhang Shujie fractured his left toe and will be out of action for about two months, which also means that he will miss all the rest of the season!

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and the whole of AC Milan looked extremely uneasy. "Zhang Shujie's injury is not an accident, Inzaghi needs to take some responsibility, Milan had a 2-0 advantage before the 80 minutes, Inzaghi should replace him," said Milan Sport. You must know that before this, Zhang Shujie was only unable to play in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage due to suspension, and all the rest of the games were started, and only twice were replaced. ”

Chen Hui wrote in Sports Weekly: "AC Milan's victory is naturally a celebration, but Zhang Shujie's injury has made this happy thing a little uncomfortable. This is by no means an accident, we all know that players reach the end of the season when their physical fitness reaches the limit, and many injuries follow, Zhang Shujie has played so many games, and the running of each game is at least more than nine kilometers, and in the long run, the physical burden is very great. It is true that we know that Inzaghi has 100% trust in Zhang Shujie, but using him like this has overloaded him. ”

Inzaghi also knows what the problem is, he said: "Zhang Shujie is very tired, I understand, but his position in the team is irreplaceable, the key is that there is no one to replace his tactical role. ”

Inzaghi didn't know how much bitterness he said in one sentence. Zhang Shujie is the first core and the only core of AC Milan's offensive axis, and now that Zhang Shujie is not there, who should be the core of AC Milan's attacking line?

Montolivo or Baca or Bonaventura?

After hearing the news of Zhang Shujie's injury, the happiest person is probably Juventus, although it sounds cruel, but it is like this in professional football. Zhang Shujie is the absolute main force among Juventus' biggest rivals, and his injury has directly reduced AC Milan's offensive power by at least one notch, and the pressure behind Juventus will be much less.

At the New Alp Stadium, Juventus swept Palermo 6-0, with Khedira, Pogba, Cuadrado, Padoin, Zhao Wenkang and Huang Yu contributing to the team. Among them, Zhao Wenkang scored his 11th league goal of the season with 13 assists, and Huang Yu scored three league goals and provided five assists.

After Zhang Shujie stayed in the hospital for a week, he was discharged from the hospital and went to his home to recuperate, and Wang Shihan took good care of him. Yan Tao, Huang Yu and Zhao Wenkang have all visited him, as well as players such as Bonaventura, Montolivo and Romagnoli, and Inzaghi has also visited twice. In addition, people like Li Mu, Ma Junqiang, Xu Ziyi, Chen Zihua and others have also called to express their condolences to him.

He was not allowed to move around for twenty days, and he was not able to walk normally until at least a month later. Zhang Shujie sighed: "I played well, but I was injured at this most critical time." ”

In the 34th round of Serie A, AC Milan, which lacked Zhang Shujie, was forced to draw 0:0 by the opponent after 90 minutes of fierce battle with Carpi at home, and the two strikers who started the game, Baca and Adriano, had a total of five shots, only two of which were within the range of the goal frame, and the other three were all over the crossbar.

AC Milan were very average in attack throughout the game, with Baca and Adriano conceding on a number of occasions and barely taking care of each other, lacking dominance up front. Such a performance made the home fans very unhappy, they booed and shouted: "We need Zhang Shujie." ”

"Milan Sports Daily" even sighed: "After losing Zhang Shujie, AC Milan will not even score." If this continues, I am afraid that there will be no need to wait for the final round before the league title will be taken away by Juventus. ”

Chen Hui said: "Milan's attack really lacks bright spots, Bonaventura is very active and can control the ball, but the vision is still a little worse, Montolivo's organizational ability is really limited, as for the other players, don't mention it." Yan Tao and Romagnoli at the back are very good, if it weren't for their two saves, AC Milan may not be able to save even a point. ”

Zhang Shujie watched the whole game at home, he was so angry that he almost smashed the TV, but he still held back his anger, and threw the cup in his hand on the ground, and Wang Shihan beside him was frightened.

Since AC Milan played first, Juventus had to seize this opportunity to try to widen the gap between AC Milan and AC Milan.
