On March 8, it will be three days before the match between AC Milan and Napoli, and three days before the match between AC Milan and Juventus.

Milanello training base, Inzaghi arranges set-piece training, free kicks, corners, penalties, he believes that in this kind of strong dialogue game, sometimes the sports battle may not be able to knock the opponent's city, then the set-piece will become an extremely important means of scoring, every strong team is very important to free kicks.

Inzaghi is no exception, in fact, he has only focused on free-kick training since this season, although in his playing days, Inzaghi was not a free-kick master, and only scored one free-kick in his entire career, still at Atalanta. However, after becoming a coach, Inzaghi studied free-kick tactics alone, and it was quite effective.

On the training ground, Zhang Shujie received a header from Romagnoli, and a lion shook his head and headed the ball into Donnarumma's goal.

Inzaghi saw the scene clearly and he hoped that it would be repeated on the pitch three days later.

On March 10, there is one day left before the start time of the match between the two teams. The two managers also held a press conference, with Inzaghi saying: "It's a very crucial scoreline, neither we nor Juventus can afford to lose. It's going to be a tough game for us because we're playing away from home, but we have to get three points to be more sure of winning the league title. ”

Allegri said: "In the first meeting of the season, we lost to AC Milan at the San Siro, but this time we will not lose again. Because our goal is to keep winning the league and if we lose then our chances are very slim, and if we win, then we have a lot of hope. ”

These two managers never talk about each other's key players, and at this critical juncture, they must not raise the morale of others to destroy their own prestige, and there are some things that are best done by remaining silent.

On the day of the game, the AC Milan players went to the New Alp Stadium early to warm up and increase the heat of their bodies as soon as possible, and they saw that many Juventus fans had entered the stadium early, and they put up some unfriendly banners, one of which read: "Tonight, this is your hell!" The Milan fans who came with the team also gave a counterattack: "Tonight, we will break here!"

Wang Shihan, Zhou Ying and Gu Qingqing also came to the scene to watch the game and cheer for their boyfriends. Chen Hui and Cao Weilin sat in the press box early, and although the game had not yet started, Chen Hui could already feel a suffocating atmosphere, and he filmed the fans in the stands, whether they were Milan or Juventus.

After the warm-up, the players of both teams returned to the dressing room, Inzaghi and Allegri took the time to explain the tactics and the final precautions, and each player listened attentively without the slightest distraction.

The game time was approaching, Inzaghi took a sip of water and said, "That's almost it, let's go out and get ready to play." ”

The players walked out one after another, and the Juventus players on the other side also walked out, the main players on both sides stood in the players' tunnel, Zhang Shujie stood at the end of the team, and Yan Tao was in front of him.

Chen Zihua stood in the middle of the team and tidied up his sleeves and collar.

Soon the queue began to move, and the players gradually appeared in the field of vision of the fans. When Zhang Shujie shook hands with Zhao Wenkang and Huang Yu, he obviously felt that there was afterburner on their hands, and saw the yin smile on the corner of their mouths.

Zhang Shujie can't do that much now, he just wants to start quickly and win at the end of the game.

In the first half, AC Milan kicked off, and Zhang Shujie stood in the middle circle, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. The referee looked at the time, and a few seconds later, the whistle sounded. Zhang Shujie passed the ball back to Montolivo, and the game officially began.

Juventus, who played at home in this game, wore the traditional black and white striped shirt and black shorts, in a formation of 4231, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, defenders Huang Yu, Benatia, Bonucci and Barzagli, Chiellini was unable to play due to injury, the two midfielders were Khedira and Zhao Wenkang, which is also the standard for Juventus, the three forwards were Piazza, Dybala and Alves, and the striker was Higuain.

AC Milan wore white shirts and white pants in a 433 formation, with goalkeeper Donnarumma, defenders Antonelli, Romagnoli, Yan Tao and Abate, Chen Zihua, Bonaventura and Montolivo in midfield, and Deulofeu, Zhang Shujie and Suso in front. Desiglio received a red card in the last round against Udinese and is suspended for this round.

Chen Zihua, who was dribbling the ball, looked around and saw that he couldn't pass to the front, so he knocked the ball to Montolivo, Dybala pressed up, and Montolivo, who lacked the ability to get rid of it, quickly passed the ball to Romagnoli, but under the pressure of Dybala, Montolivo's passing power was a little smaller, and it was stealed by Dybala.

"Montolivo made a mistake at the start and Dybala snatched the ball!

Montolivo's mistake was a bit of a low-level mistake, and he immediately threw himself into the counter-attack, and he heard a lot of boos from the Juventus fans in attendance, which made him feel a little unhappy. Yan Tao also stepped forward to intercept Dybala, Dybala had no teammates around at this time, Higuain came up, but Chen Zihua also withdrew and cut off the only line between the two.

Under Yan Tao's pressure, Dybala still failed to protect the ball, and the ball was snatched away by Yan Tao. Although Montolivo's goal did not have a bad result, he was cut off at the back of his home less than a minute into the game, and as captain he must be held responsible.

"Montolivo's mistake is a bit unclear, is it because he hasn't started the game at the beginning? You know, if Milan loses, then the suspense of the title race will be much lower, but as long as it wins, then the suspense is basically not very big. Montolivo knew the importance of the matter and could not afford to desert. ”

Inzaghi on the sidelines was a little speechless, as the captain, Montolivo made such a fuss in such a crucial game, which is not very consistent with his status as the captain of Milan. In Inzaghi's memory, AC Milan's successive captains have been the spiritual leaders of the team, and it is clear that Montolivo is a little worse in this regard, and to put it mildly, he is the weakest captain in AC Milan's history.

Montolivo's mistakes and Dybala's tackles took the Milan players by surprise. But soon, AC Milan gave Juventus an even bigger scare.

Chen Zihua stuffed the ball to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie shook off Khedira and Barzagli with two feints, and distributed the ball to Deulofeu, Dewu stopped the ball with his left foot and volleyed on the spot, and Buffon bravely saved the ball out of the bottom line.
