Chapter 963 - Away from home to all three points
In the cheers of the Milan fans in the whole stadium, Zhang Shujie pushed the ball into the empty goal, and the score became 3:1! The game will enter injury time with eleven minutes left, and judging from the strength of Milan and the physical strength of Atletico Madrid players, it should be the final score if there is an accident.
Zhang Shujie stood in the corner kick area, holding the corner kick flagpole, and stood straight to look at the ecstatic Milan fans in the audience. The teammates quickly ran up, Conte jumped on Zhang Shujie's back, and Zhang Shujie also carried the teammate who assisted him on his back.
Zhang Shujie scored twice to give Milan a 3-1 lead, and he has already scored 12 goals in this Champions League, ranking first in the scorer charts. However, the players behind him are not much different from him, and there is a possibility that they can surpass him at any time, but he has a greater chance of extending his goal advantage. ”
Inzaghi started to use the second substitution, and he replaced none other than Zhang Shujie, who came on with Kalinic. When Zhang Shujie left the field, the fans gave him applause, scoring two goals at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Zhang Shujie deserved such applause.
Zhang Shujie's departure did not make AC Milan's ball control ability decline, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi are still on the field, plus the young Locatelli, as well as Silva and Kalinic in the front court are not weak in ball control, so AC Milan still has an advantage over Atletico Madrid in the midfield and midfield. There are also Yan Tao, Bonucci and others in the backcourt, who can hold the ball.
With Zhang Shujie scoring AC Milan's third goal, the morale of the Atletico players also fell, they could no longer organize the attack, and the physical exertion was large, under this double burden, Atletico's defeat was a foregone conclusion.
3:1 was the final score of the match, AC Milan won away against Atletico Madrid. After returning to home in the next leg, Milan's advantage is more obvious, and Atletico Madrid can only fight with their backs.
In the post-match press conference, Inzaghi, who was in a good mood, praised his players unabashedly: "Our players have performed fantastic, it is not easy to score three goals on Atletico Madrid's turf, but my disciples have done it. ”
Simeone, on the other hand, said: "AC Milan did a great job, their tactics stifled us, especially in the last fifteen to twenty minutes of the game, when they were completely dominant. Just because we lost 3-1 at home doesn't mean we can't win away from home, football is round and anything can happen. ”
It is not difficult to hear from these words that Simeone has not given up his desire to advance. Atletico's style has been like this over the years, which is perhaps why Simeone is known as the "Iron Coach".
On the second day of the match, Sport began by commenting on the match: "From the whole course of the match, it was a tactical victory for Inzaghi. In the first half, he deliberately gave up the ball, let Atletico Madrid, who are not very good at ball control, control the ball, and he fully contracted the defense, and then used Zhang Shujie's speed and two wings to attack the Atletico defense, and the two goals in the first half proved that his tactics were successful. Although the field was very passive for a while, the team that mainly defended against the counterattack did not have any advantage in the field, and they were also vigorous in attack, using the shortest time and the fastest speed to send the ball into the opponent's goal, and Inzaghi's team did it. ”
Chen Hui also wrote in the "Sports Weekly": "Over the years, Atletico Madrid's unchanged style of play has long been eaten by major teams, once they encounter a team with a very fast counterattack, and at the same time they can't take the lead as soon as possible, they will often fall into a helpless situation." This is also why they were able to suppress Barcelona Real Madrid in the early years, but in recent years, they have not taken much advantage of these two giants. The giants are giants because they have a very rich tactical style of play, and even Guardiola, who used to only play slowly and passing, has strengthened the embodiment of speed in the counterattack, and maybe Simeone should also change himself. ”
Sun Delong also said: "Atletico's defeat is not only a reflection of the player's ability, but also a tactic. Inzaghi's team can go from defending to attacking in three to five seconds, and can also change defense to pass control in time according to the situation on the field, and to do this, ability and tactical execution are indispensable. Obviously, there is still a gap between Atletico Madrid's players and Milan's players as a whole. ”
Simeone also realized these things, he also wanted to make some changes before, but most of Atletico Madrid's players are not good at the technical work of possession, and several attempts have ended in failure, otherwise Simeone would not have insisted on this style of play.
In several other Champions League games, Bayern Munich drew 2:2 with Manchester United, Xu Zhixin scored the equalizer, which was also his third Champions League goal; Manchester City beat Sevilla 4:1, Liang Xiran scored the team's first goal with a header; Liverpool lost 0:1 to Juventus, Dybala scored the final word; Porto lost to Dortmund 1:2; Real Madrid defeated Besiktas 4:0, and Chinese player Qin Tianzhu had a duel with Ronaldo in the game, but did not defend the Real Madrid brother.
The most eye-catching and exciting game was the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, Barcelona's Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the 15th minute, Hazard equalized eight minutes later, and Messi assisted Suarez in the second half to exceed the score again, but in the subsequent game, it became Li Mu's personal performance, he scored twice in the 67th and 74th minutes, helping Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-2 at Camp Nou, and won a good omen for the second leg.
*********************
AC Milan are already preparing for the league and will face fourth-placed Roma who are fighting for Champions League qualification and Milan looking to win the league title for the second time, so both teams will be going all out to get the tripart.
Zhang Shujie has a personal goal in this game: to equalize the miracle of Messi's consecutive goals! Now Zhang Shujie has scored in 20 consecutive league games, and as long as he can score again in this round, he can equal Messi's record in the 2011/2012 season. If you take a long-term view, he's only two games away from breaking that record. Of course, Rome is the one he has to pass to accomplish this great thing.
The day before the game, Zhang Shujie was interviewed by "Milan Sports Newspaper", and the other party mentioned the question of personal records, and Zhang Shujie also said bluntly: "If it was a few months ago, I might not have cared too much about this, because Messi's miracle was too far away from me at that time, but now I want to say that I already care a little bit about this personal honor, after all, he is so close to me, saying that he doesn't want to tie or even break, it is all fake." However, all of this has to be based on the premise that the team can win, and if the team can't win, then it doesn't make sense for me to equal Messi's record. ”
