Chapter 939: Victory is at hand
Chen Hui wrote down the ball, and he could guess the mood of the two head coaches at the moment. A win for Milan would lead the table, while Juventus would have to drop one place to top of the table.
Allegri was forced to have no choice but to be a dead horse doctor, and he replaced Benatia with Bernardeschi, and the striker replaced the defender, and continued to strengthen the attack. Now Juventus have only three defenders and four strikers on the field, making it clear that they are going to take a gamble.
Inzaghi also had to make a substitution, and he removed Romagnoli with Musacchio, a counter-substitution, the formation remained the same, and the tactics remained the same. AC Milan has invested a lot this summer, and Inzaghi has a lot of cards in his hand, mainly attacking, defending, or seeking stability, and can put out a satisfactory lineup.
AC Milan boldly compressed the formation back, but they did not all shrink to defend, they formed the first line of defense in the midfield, and the second line was superimposed in the backfield, Juventus wanted to break in, it had to break through the two layers of defense, look at the players in the midfield and back of AC Milan, I have to say that Juventus wants to do this, it is still very difficult.
Zhao Wenkang completed a long-range shot from outside the box, and the ball went just wide. In fact, he didn't want to shoot so early, but AC Milan's defense is too tight, even if his long ball is very accurate, he can't guarantee that it will accurately land on the head of his teammates. Just two minutes earlier, two of his crosses had been headed over by Yan Tao and Leonardo Bonucci.
Donnarumma's goal kick went to the centre circle and Mandzukic scrambled the ball and passed it to Lichtsteiner on the right. Eighty minutes have passed since the game is played, and the less time there is, the better the chances of Juventus losing.
Marchisio's pass was cut off by Kessie and handed to Xu Ziyi, who distributed it to Abate, who sent the ball directly forward, and Zhang Shujie in the middle inserted diagonally to the right and dribbled the ball along the sideline. Huang Yu came up, and the two faced one-on-one, which was also the first and probably the only direct conversation between the two in this game.
Huang Yu approached, Zhang Shujie slowed down the speed of dribbling, and the two were about two and a half meters apart. Huang Yu didn't dare to get too close, the space behind him was a bit big, and he was worried that Zhang Shujie would use his speed to break through. Although Huang Yu also ran fast, compared with Zhang Shujie's 10.3 seconds of 100 meters, his 11.2 seconds was a little slower. Especially Zhang Shujie's instantaneous activation ability, Huang Yu can't compare, so he must keep his distance.
Zhang Shujie first looked at the position of his teammates, and then picked up the ball, the ball flew past Huang Yu's right, flew over Marchisio's head, and landed at the feet of Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi then distributed it to Kessie, Kessie hoisted the ball to the back point, and Kalinic in the middle led away Chiellini, the only remaining central defender of Juventus, and fell to Chen Zihua. But Chen Zihua is not without a person, Zhao Wenkang is very tight, the two Chinese compatriots jump to scramble, Zhao Wenkang rubbed the ball on the top of his head, Chen Zihua did not reach it, Buffon attacked in time and took the ball off.
AC Milan's goal was smooth all the way, but Juventus's defense was not porous, Zhao Wenkang and Buffon teamed up to cut off Kessie's cross. ”
Gianluigi Buffon kicked the ball wide and it flew to the left touchline, and although Marchisio had fought for the ball with all his might, and he had won the ball, he couldn't get it back on the pitch and just outside the touchline and gave AC Milan a throw-in.
Juventus made another substitution, with Allegri coming on for Marchisio and Cuadrado, who could play as a full-back or as a winger. It seems that Allegri still wants to see if there can be a miracle in the final minutes, otherwise he would not have changed so many attacking players.
There are five minutes left in normal time, about seven or eight minutes including injury time, and it is a bit difficult to wait for a miracle to happen. What's more, Inzaghi still has a substitution in his hand, and he can wait until injury time to use it.
************************
Zhang Shujie was kicked down by Cuadrado in an attack and received a yellow card, Cuadrado just came on the field and didn't earn any performance, Milan also got a free kick, but the goal was a little far from the goal, Zhang Shujie stood up, quickly drove the ball out, Chen Zihua received the ball and immediately passed it to Kalinic, at this time Kalinic was about twenty-three meters away from the goal, and his teammates around him had already received it in place, but Kalinic chose to shoot himself and shot higher.
"Kalinic's ball can actually be passed to Rodriguez next to him or Xu Ziyi, maybe he is a little merit and wants to score a goal. It's a good thing for the striker to think like that, and Milan have two goals in hand at this time, and there is not much time left, and the players want to play freely. ”
Juventus's offensive was stopped by Milan's defense, Lichtsteiner lost the ball under the siege of Musacchio and Yan Tao, but Yan Tao was a little more powerful when he passed to Kessie, Kessie did not stop the ball, Cuadrado snatched the ball back, but the ball walked around the feet of Zhao Wenkang and Dybala, and was snatched away by Chen Zihua, but Dybala immediately counter-robbed, and there were Mandzukic and Higuain around him, Chen Zihua, who had not stabilized his figure, was robbed back by Mandzukic again surrounded by the three.
"It took less than a minute for the ball to go back and forth between the two teams, and in the end it was Juventus who got the ball. If they can capitalise on this attacking opportunity, then they could theoretically have an equaliser. ”
The game time has reached the eighty-eighth minute, AC Milan's defense is very tight, Zhao Wenkang passed the first kick on the periphery, was pushed out by Bonucci, Chiellini got the ball, and handed it to Zhao Wenkang, Zhao Wenkang passed the second kick, Mandzukich hit the ball, he shook his head to attack the goal, but unfortunately the ball was out of the door.
With less than 30 seconds left and stoppage time, Donnarumma staggered off the pitch, picked up the ball, and slowly walked back inside the pitch to wipe and wipe the ball and set it up.
The regular game time has arrived, and the fourth official raised a sign for two minutes of stoppage time, seeing this time, he can basically announce Juventus's "death sentence". So despite the suspicion that Donnarumma was delaying the game, the Juventus players didn't want to complain, and even the referee didn't bother to care. Anyway, all everyone has to do now is drag out the last two minutes.
Donnarumma was about to kick off when the referee stopped him and on the sidelines, Inzaghi used the last substitution to replace Kalinic with Andre Silva.
