On the second day of the game, "Milan Sports Newspaper" briefly analyzed AC Milan's first defeat in the league, and they believed that the biggest reason was that Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua did not play their strongest strength in attack. "After a normal game, the performance of the two of them can only be said to be qualified, and there is nothing particularly conspicuous." In addition, "Milan Sport" believes that Yan Tao and Romagnoli also have a little problem with the two central defenders, the first goal conceded is that the two have a handicap, giving Ilicic a chance.

But on the whole, Sport does not put all the blame on the players: "Mistakes are inevitable, it can only be said that Fiorentina took their chances. Overall, every Milan player in this game is not very impressive, but it still works to score a qualifying score. ”

Inzaghi defended his players, saying: "Don't completely ruin the whole of Milan because of a loss, our opponents Juventus won this round and caught up with us in points, but they have a smaller goal difference than us and we are still at the top of the table. Now, what my disciples and I have to do is prepare for the Champions League with all our might. ”

Inzaghi has shifted the main focus of the media to the Champions League, and in three days' time, AC Milan will face their strongest opponent in the Champions League group stage, Portuguese giants Benfica. Because Milan is playing at home, although they lost to Fiorentina in the last round of the league, AC Milan is still the favored team.

However, Benfica are also a team to fight for the right to qualify, having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Besiktas in the last group stage, and they will certainly be aiming for the three points in this round. Even if it's away from home, even if it's AC Milan.

Therefore, after the start of the game, the two teams that are both trying to win have a crazy attack, often AC Milan's wave of offensive has just subsided, Benfica's attack is played, and Benfica's offensive has not yet formed the most effective result, AC Milan's counterattack hit Benfica's doorstep. The live commentators not only chanted "What a great game"!

However, in the first 45 minutes of the game, neither side scored, and the cumulative number of shots on goal reached 16, including nine for AC Milan and seven for Benfica, Milan also had four corners and two free kicks in the 30-meter area of the front, and Benfica took five corners and one free kick in front of 30 meters. The referee showed four yellow cards in the first half, from AC Milan's Romagnoli and Montolivo, Benfica's Grimaldo and Pizzi.

In the second half, perhaps both sides were a little tired, and the physical exertion was relatively large, so they needed to slow down, so they restrained a little in attack. In the 74th minute, Benfica played a beautiful counter-attack, Andre Almeida assisted Salvio, who came on in the 56th minute of the second half, and Benfica took a 1-0 lead away.

Backwards, AC Milan put the attack first. Benfica wanted to hold on to the 1:0 at the San Siro stadium, so they replaced two defenders. The fans of both teams were a little nervous, AC Milan fans were afraid of losing back-to-back games, and Benfica fans were afraid that they couldn't stand this victory.

Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua led the midfield attack line used all the methods they could, but they were never able to break the goal, this game Zhang Shujie seemed to be in the evil, although all four shots hit the bull's-eye, but none of them scored, two feet were still blocked by the goalpost; Chen Zihua also passed a bad ball for his teammates, and he also had two shots, but the score was still 0:1!

Until the eighty-seventh minute of the game, Chen Zihua was tripped with the ball in the front, before falling to the ground, he kicked the ball to Zhang Shujie, the referee ruled that Milan's attack was favorable, no whistle, Zhang Shujie continued to move forward with the ball, to the front of the penalty area, he was caught by the opponent's three players, but still passed the ball to the feet of Baca, Baka pushed with his right foot, the ball passed between Julio Cesar's legs, rolled into Benfica's goal, 1:1!

At the end of the game, AC Milan finally equalized, 1:1 also remained until the end of the game, AC Milan fell behind at home, commented on Zhang Shujie's wonderful pass and Baka's goal, and got a draw.

Since then, AC Milan have failed to win a league game and a Champions League game, picking up just one point in two consecutive games, and although they are at the top of the Champions League and the league, the advantage has become smaller and smaller.

Inzaghi also knows that if this continues, it will be very bad for the team, and everyone knows that all walks of life have great hopes for AC Milan this year, whether it is the fans or the club's senior management, they want him to lead the team to win the championship, and Inzaghi and the pressure is also relatively high. AC Milan are not without big names and can attract world-class coaches to coach, and if Inzaghi's Rossoneri get nothing next summer, then it is inevitable that he will be sacked.

Although you are a legendary superstar of Milan, in the position of head coach, if you can't get results, even a legend will inevitably be killed.

Inzaghi also publicly stated that in the next round of Serie A, the team will definitely dedicate a victory to the fans who have always supported him.

In the seventh round of Serie A, AC Milan is at home to Sassuolo, in fact, even if Inzaghi does not give a military order, the team must have the only goal of winning. After all, Sassuolo's strength is obvious to all, Chen Hui jokingly said: "The combined value of the entire Sassuolo players is not as good as Zhang Shujie's leg." "If AC Milan do get upset at home, then Inzaghi's coaching ability will definitely be questioned.

Fortunately, the balance was still in favor of AC Milan, just nine minutes into the opening game, Desiglio assisted Bonaventura to score a goal, and in the 28th minute, Abate assisted Zhang Shujie's header to score, and AC Milan led 2:0 in half an hour. In the 39th minute, Chen Zihua sent a straight plug in the midfield, and passed Baka, who scored easily, 3:0!

With a three-goal advantage at half-time, Inzaghi could make bold substitutions, first replacing Montolivo with teenager Locatelli, and the captain's armband was temporarily handed over to Abate, and less than five minutes after Locatelli came on, he used a wonderful long-range shot in front of the penalty area to make the score 4:0 for AC Milan!

Sassuolo was beaten out of temper, but Milan's goal performance was not over, in the 76th minute, Montolivo passed directly, Zhang Shujie got the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and shot with his left foot after shaking two defenders of the opponent in a row, 5:0!

In the 80th minute, Niang, who came on as a substitute for Bonaventura, took the ball on the side, and Paletta, who also came on as a substitute, scored with a header, fixing the final score of the game at 6:0!
