Chapter 809: The group is one round ahead

"Big Four! Zhang Shujie defeats the Nerazzurri!"

This is the headline of Chen Hui's "Sports Weekly", he wrote in the news: "This is Zhang Shujie's best game this season, he scored four goals by himself, and assisted Chen Zihua to score, and also created a red card! At the end of the game, Inter Milan once ignited the hope of equalizing, but Zhang Shujie completely destroyed this hope! He scored 20 goals in 13 games, ranking first in the Serie A scorer list with an absolute advantage. ”

"His performance was so good that his four goals would undoubtedly be a disaster in Inter's history and will be remembered for many years to come," said Sport. With 20 goals so far, he is far behind Dzeko, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhang Shujie is not injured, he will once again win the top scorer in Serie A this season. ”

"Milan Sports Daily" also gave Zhang Shujie a perfect score of 10! This is very rare. They think that Zhang Shujie's performance is too good, as a striker, he can hardly find a flaw on the offensive end, and he is simply flawless.

Milan's trusted CEO Fasone said: "He is really a flawless striker, his style of play, his ability to score goals is unique, his status is on par with Messi Ronaldo, and more importantly, he is younger than the first two and has the potential to create more brilliance. ”

Inzaghi didn't say much about his favourite, saying: "I can't think of how to praise him, I remember when he first came to Milan, someone could inherit the number 9 shirt I left behind, but now it seems that he is far better than me!"

In the face of overwhelming praise, Zhang Shujie's reaction didn't seem to be as he imagined, he just said: "I think, this should be expected." Of course, I'm not boasting, but I think if someone can finish their senior in a special game, then they must be the focus of the media after the game, but that person happens to be me. I feel very lucky and thank my teammates for supporting me. ”

It is not difficult to see that Zhang Shujie is actually very happy in his heart, but he has not yet been carried away by this victory, and they will have two days to adjust, and then they will face the challenge of Dynamo Kyiv at the San Siro Stadium.

In the first four Champions League games, AC Milan won three and drew one by 10, and they only need two points to qualify for the last two group games. Inzaghi hopes to enter the round of 16 in advance, so in this round against Dynamo Kyiv, who came from afar, the requirement set for the team is to win!

The night before the game, Wang Shihan "accompanied" Zhang Shujie at home, but he didn't dare to let Zhang Shujie be too tired, and he would have to compete tomorrow. It just made Zhang Shujie feel physically and mentally happy, and his whole body was comfortable. Zhang Shujie also praised Wang Shihan's teasing skills getting better and better, Wang Shihan said that it was because Zhang Shujie was well-trained.

Zhang Shujie hooked Wang Shihan's chin with his fingers and said with a chuckle: "After I win the championship for Milan, I will 'train' you well." ”

*****************************

On November 24, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage of Group D AC Milan vs Dynamo Kiev kicked off at the San Siro.

Until the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Zhang Shujie won a free kick in front of AC Milan, Chen Zihua drove the ball out, Zhang Shujie's header in the penalty area was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and after grabbing the second point, there was no space to shoot, so he gave it to Yan Tao, Yan Tao hit the goal from close range four meters in front of the goal, and Milan led 1:0.

Yan Tao scored his second Champions League goal of the season, including two league goals, he has a total of four, in addition to four assists, he is by far the most goals scored by the team in Serie A, behind Atalanta supernova Andre Conte, who now has four goals and three assists, but Conte's goals have all come in Serie A, and Juventus' Huang Yu is third with three goals and three assists. Two goals and two assists in the league, one goal and one assist in the Champions League.

The first half ended with AC Milan leading 1-0, but in the second half Dynamo Kyiv picked up some momentum, at one point creating a dangerous attack and had two shots on goal, but neither could find the back of the net. In the sixty-first minute of the game, AC Milan played a wave of counterattacks, Zhang Shujie opened the opponent's defense line in front of the point, Chen Zihua inserted in the back point, and pushed the goal with his left foot near the penalty spot, 2:0!

This goal hit the Kiev Dynamo very hard, seeing the offensive up, but was extinguished by Chen Zihua's goal, morale also plummeted, six minutes later, Chen Zihua cruised to the left, kicked the cross, Zhang Shujie pressed the defender in the penalty area, and smashed the ball into the goal with a header, 3:0!

It was the goal that sealed the victory, and then Inzaghi was relieved to replace the three goalscorers, and after a long week of double matches, the three main players finally got a moment of rest.

Substitute Zhang Shuzhuo, who was on the pitch, had a chance to hit the empty net, but unfortunately he missed the target when he slid the ball against the post, and Lapadula also missed his first goal in the Champions League.

The final score of the game was 3:0, so AC Milan accumulated 13 points and broke out of the group one round early, and the remaining round, whether won or lost, did not affect AC Milan's final qualification, but it may affect the ranking. Benfica are in second place with 11 points and the next round is a clash between the two teams, with a win for Benfica leaving AC Milan second in the group, and a win or a draw for the Rossoneri to enter the knockout rounds. Depending on the position of the group, you will face different opponents.

Judging from the points of each team, AC Milan's opponent in the knockout round is either CSKA Moscow or Bayer Leverkusen, the strength of these two teams is actually half a pound and eight taels, if you really want to divide the high and low on paper, maybe Leverkusen is slightly better, how to say that the "pharmaceutical factory" is also a Bundesliga team, CSKA may not be comparable to them. However, according to the strength of this AC Milan team today, there is no obvious difference between meeting either of the two teams in the knockout round, and Milan still has an advantage in hard power.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid all got tickets to the knockout stage before the group stage ended, and from the grouping point of view, in the first round of the knockout round, these teams will not meet each other, and if you want to see the Chinese derby in the Champions League knockout round, you can only wait until after the quarterfinals.
