Chapter 967: Hope Expands to Twenty-Three

"Inter Milan is not in a good situation right now, although they are playing away from home, but the two teams in Milan City use the same field, so the so-called 'away' of Inter Milan is less difficult than many other teams playing away from home. ”

Spalletti understands this very well, and he has replaced all the attacking players in the hope of getting a point at the San Siro so that he can at least give the team an account.

Icardi's header up front was saved by Donnarumma, and then Mario took a corner, and it was Icardi who won the header, but unfortunately it was too high.

Time is getting less and less, the score is still 2:1, AC Milan is ahead, Inter Milan's players are starting to get anxious, frequently making mistakes on the field, and even fouls, in the eighty-sixth minute, even a strong player like Yan Tao was knocked down by Perisic, you can imagine how angry the Inter players are.

However, Yan Tao did not argue with the other party, just stood up from the court and continued to play. If he were Yan Tao three years ago, he would definitely be "bullish" with the other party, but now Yan Tao has become more and more mature, whether in the club or the national team, he is the leader of the guard line, and the impulsive character of the past must also be corrected.

In the 88th minute, Inter Milan were still on the offensive and getting a point away from home was their only goal at the moment. However, AC Milan's defense was extremely tight, and Inter's group attack line did not get particularly good opportunities, and occasionally there were shots, which were also defused by Donnarumma.

In the 89th minute, Conte broke the ball in the backfield and passed it to Chen Zihua, because Inter Milan was pressed on all sides at this time, the backfield was very empty, Chen Zihua made a long pass directly in the backfield, Zhang Shujie started quickly, used the speed advantage to instantly cross the middle line, and stopped the ball outside the center circle.

'AC Milan got another good chance on the counter-attack and it could well be the chance that would have decided the outcome of the game. A player like Zhang Shujie will not waste this God-given opportunity. ”

The Milan fans in the south stand cheered in advance, and they all believed that Zhang Shujie could score this kind of single-handed meeting. Handanovic struck early, running to the edge of the box, while Zhang Shujie was close to the box, followed by several Inter defenders.

Zhang Shujie aimed at the goal and fired a right-footed shot from 25 meters away from the goal, and the goalkeeper generally has no way to shoot this kind of goal. Handanovic could only watch as the ball flew overhead and towards goal, and Miranda quickly chased it back, hoping to kick it out from outside the goal line, but he was still a step too late and the ball had already crossed the goal line and landed in the goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!3:1!Zhang Shujie seals the win for AC Milan!

It was Zhang's 39th league goal of the season, and with this efficiency, it will not be difficult for him to break his own single-season league record of 48 goals set last season. For Inter Milan, Zhang Shujie's goal is undoubtedly fatal, and they simply can't have another chance.

Spalletti was not in a good mood as Milan beat city rivals Inter Milan 3-1 to keep them at the top of the table.

In the post-match press conference, Inzaghi looked very happy, and as soon as he went up, he praised his disciples for a very good job, but he did not say a word about Inter.

Spalletti didn't say much either, he didn't mention AC Milan either, he just thought his team had lost, which he deserved, and in his opinion, it should have been worth three points.

The gap between Inter Milan and the top two further widened, and the day after the game, AC Milan CEO Mirabelle joked: "We gave Inter Milan a Xu Ziyi, but they still can't win us." The implication is that the gap between Inter and Milan is getting wider.

Seven days later, AC Milan played away to Genoa, and now no one is worried about whether AC Milan can win, because in the eyes of most people, Milan wins for granted, and people are just concerned about whether Zhang Shujie, who has scored in 22 consecutive games, can continue to expand his scoring record.

Xu Ziyi returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup, Inzaghi hid some of the main players for the midweek Champions Cup, Yan Tao and Rodriguez did not play, but Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua still stayed on the field. Milan 9 were hopeful they could keep scoring, but his luck didn't seem to be too good in the game, as two of his three first-half shots hit the woodwork, one of which was cleared off the line by a defender.

Less than four minutes into the second half, Zhang Shujie assisted Suso to score, AC Milan led Genoa 1-0 away, and six minutes later, Chen Zihua assisted Bonucci's header with a free-kick in front of the goal, giving Milan a 2-0 lead. In the ensuing game time, almost the entire Milan team was creating opportunities for Zhang Shujie, but his shot was always a little bit worse.

Zhang Shujie is also very helpless about this, even if he really can't score, his previous 22 games are enough to be written into Guinness, and he no longer insists that as long as the team can win, everything else doesn't matter.

Inzaghi also has the idea of replacing him, after all, the schedule is now now, AC Milan has to consider the Champions League while taking care of the league, and Zhang Shujie can't be too tired. So, he asked Kalinic to warm up, intending to replace Zhang Shujie after five minutes.

Genoa also launched a few attacks, but their strength was limited, and even in Yan Tao's absence, Bonucci, Romagnoli and Musacchio were also available. Bonucci was clearly better in the second half of the season than in the first half, and he no longer made bizarre mistakes, which also had to do with the defensive midfield. In the second half of the league, Xu Ziyi had a lot more defense than in the first half, which can relieve the pressure on the back, and secondly, it can also liberate Chen Zihua, so that the No. 10 of the Rossoneri can devote more energy to the attack.

I have to admit that in defense, Xu Ziyi has to invest more than Chen Zihua.

Bonucci broke an attack from the opponent off the sideline, and Inzaghi on the sidelines looked at the time, and he was going to replace Zhang Shujie in the next dead-ball stage. Even if he didn't score, he had to rest Zhang Shujie.

Genoa's throw-in failed to form a threat, and was counterattacked by AC Milan, Xu Ziyi handed the ball to Kalinic, Kalinic passed Antonelli, the ball was broken, Xu Ziyi snatched the ball back again, and handed it to Chen Zihua, at this time, Chen Zihua had already swam to the left side, he looked at the front, and sent a direct pass with his left foot, Zhang Shujie, who had been in the Genoa defender group before, suddenly plugged in, ran on the edge of the penalty area, and unloaded the ball in the air.
