AC Milan's formation began to compress back, and the defense began to retreat, and the ball had reached Hamsik, who was going to push forward with the ball, but Chen Zihua's pressing from the side made him slow down the pace of dribbling. In fact, he could have passed the ball to Mersten next to him, but he didn't. This also caused him to slow down in the face of Chen Zihua's defense, and Napoli's counter-attacking attack was also affected.

Maurizio Sarri was a little dissatisfied on the sidelines, but Hamsik was the number one in the team, and he couldn't get angry at Hamsik, so he could only explain a few more words at half-time.

Hamsik finally passed the ball to Milik in front, but AC Milan's defense was basically in place, Yan Tao and Romagnoli were eyeing Mersten and Callejon, Montolivo was also sticking to Milik, Chen Zihua was keeping an eye on Hamsik, and there were also AC Milan players on both wings.

However, possession remained on Napoli's side, and they patiently went back and forth on the perimeter, looking for opportunities. Zhang Shujie stood in the center circle and did not participate in the defense of AC Milan.

Jorginho dribbled the ball from the middle to the wing, and with a kick, the ball was picked up behind Abate, who received the ball and Abate's follow-up left Gulang with no space to pass into the box. At this time, Gu Lang took the ball a little obliquely, went to the bottom line, and then leaned on Abate with his body, Abate also leaned on him, the two squeezed each other like this, and when the ball almost pressed the bottom line, Gu Lang chased the ball and barely put the ball in the penalty area.

Donnarumma attacked, hit the ball outside the penalty area with both fists, Hamsik rushed up and wanted to shoot from a distance, Chen Zihua was close to him, the two of them squeezed me and I pulled you, the ball fell in the middle of the two, and each of them had a 50% chance of grabbing the ball.

Hamsik lifted his foot, and Chen Zihua lifted his foot. Hamsik fired a volley with the instep of his right foot, and Chen Zihua blocked it with his foot, and the ball grazed his toes and flew towards the goal.

Donnarumma made a move to make a save, and halfway through, Romagnoli flew up to block the ball on the outside of his foot, bounced towards the touchline, Bonaventura ran over and hooked his leg to give Milan the ball.

Bonaventura didn't dribble the ball, knocked it to Montolivo, and Montolivo gave it to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua brought out five or six meters, and saw that the front was not very good, and he wanted to pass to the two strikers but there was no good space, so he did it back to Montolivo.

This time, Montolivo did not control the ball well, lost the ball under the bag of Alain and Callejon, and fell to the pitch himself, and the action was not very elegant. Shen Fangjian said with a smile: "'Secretary Meng' lost the ball and fell on the lawn. ”

Napoli's on-the-spot counter-attack ushered in a fast break for the team, and AC Milan as a whole was moving forward, and some could not cope with Napoli's fast attack. Romagnoli tripped Callejon with the ball, and the referee blew the whistle decisively, giving Napoli a free-kick in front of the field and giving Romagnoli a yellow card.

It was the first yellow card of the game, and Romagnoli was "lucky" to get the yellow card. Inzaghi looked at the time, it was already forty-three minutes, and if he was quick enough, maybe AC Milan could get another counter-attack.

AC Milan was lining up the wall, Donnarumma was in front of the goal, he signaled the wall to the left, not to block his view, and after looking back and forth between the two goalposts, Donnarumma stood back in front of the goal.

There are five people on the human wall, including Zhang Shujie. Given the option not to be involved in the defence, he opted to stand against the wall this time and did not want his team to concede a goal towards the end of the first half.

Hamsik sent the ball into the box and into the crowd for his team-mates to fight for the spot, Romagnoli grabbed the first point, Abate headed it out on the second, Suso picked it up and headed it over to Montolivo.

Chen Zihua ran forward, raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Montolivo passed. Zhang Shujie saw that Chen Zihua got the ball, so he moved forward at full speed, Baca also ran to the front court, Chen Zihua also distributed the ball to the left, Bonaventura took the ball, and immediately plugged forward, the ball rolled under Alain's crotch, Desiglio inserted it, and chased the ball in rolling.

"AC Milan are going to be on a quick counter-attack now! This could be the last attack of the first half, and there may not be injury time due to the lack of foul action and the lack of time lost in the first half. Shen Fangjian said guessingly.

Desiglio knocked the ball to Montolivo again, and Montolivo passed to Bacca, who gave a little bit of his right foot and another diagonal plug to Zhang Shujie. Baca is very technical with this stop-and-go pass, and although the Colombian striker does not use his left foot and is considered a "crippled player" by many Milan fans, he is still very good with his right foot.

Zhang Shujie unloaded the ball with his left foot.

Koulibaly hurried over to defend, he made up his mind to pay attention, even if he used foul means, he must not let Zhang Shujie pass. Behind is the goal, if the Chinese striker succeeds in breaking through, it will be a single knife.

Zhang Shujie, who was dribbling the ball, did not slow down at all, and he could even further increase his speed and rush past Koulibaly in a strong way, after all, Napoli has a lot of space at the back. But he didn't do that, he saw that Suso and Abate were already running up the right side, so he turned slightly sideways and sent the ball in front of Suso with the inside of his right foot.

Suso chased the ball, and Abate saw that Suso had no doubt about getting the ball, so he leaned in the middle, forming a correspondence with Suso in the diagonal direction, and Napoli had to place a man next to him. After Suso controlled the ball, he used his excellent individual skills to deceive Jorginho and pass the ball into the box in a tight space.

Zhang Shujie grabbed the point, Reina attacked, Albiol sabotage, and the three of them rushed to the ball with their own goals. Zhang Shujie's explosiveness won him the opportunity to grab the ball, but he didn't shoot, he knocked the ball into the big penalty area with a light heel of his right foot, about the place between the penalty spot and the line of the penalty area.

Chen Zihua appeared here.

When Reina saw it, he yelled badly and shouted, "Stop him!"

Hamsik also said, "people! Hurry up!" as he said, rushing towards Chen Zihua.

Chen Zihua shot, he pushed the shot, the ball flew to the top left corner, everyone looked at the flight path of the ball, Chen Zihua was still thinking, what way to celebrate his first goal in AC Milan.

However, the ball hit the junction of the post and the crossbar with a crisp sound and bounced off the baseline.

Two voices rang out from the stands, one was the frightening sound of the Napoli fans, and the other was the lamentation of AC Milan. Both sounds were accompanied by the referee's whistle.

"Toot, beet, ——"
