Seeing De Jong go down, Inzaghi was also very helpless to spread his hands, Zhang Shujie also shook his head a few times, he didn't understand why De Jong made such a big move in this place, it was close to 50 meters away from the penalty area, even if De Jong couldn't prevent it, he didn't need to foul at all, because AC Milan's back line was very neat, and Insigne would never be able to break through.

This is the second time De Jong has been sent off this season, and Inzaghi knows he is a restless factor, but now the squad has limited manpower and has to risk using him.

With one man to play, AC Milan had to shrink their defence and try to hold on for the final ten minutes, with Napoli attacking with all their might, with manager Maurizio Sarri fielding all the scorers to try to get at least a point.

Donnarumma's performance was very good, Mex, who came on as a substitute for Yan Tao, also fully showed his experience, Romarinho was also a lot calmer, Zhang Shujie kept looking at the time, 90 minutes had arrived, and the game entered injury time.

There were three minutes of stoppage time, the first two minutes were fine, and in the final minute, Desiglio was a little timid in a defensive attack in the box, allowing Hamsik to break through the defence and pass the ball to Insigne's feet. At this moment, Insigne was facing the goal, and even though Donnarumma was a good player, he still couldn't save the shot.

The moment he saw the ball fly into the goal, Inzaghi, who rarely gets angry, kicked the mineral water bottle on the ground and kicked it into the field, for which he was also warned by the fourth official. And Zhang Shujie threw half a bottle of water in his hand on the ground and scolded angrily: "What ******a bastard!"

His action was clearly captured by the cameras on the sidelines, not only him, but also Yan Tao, who was so angry that he punched the awning on the bench, and similarly, his movements were also filmed by reporters on the sidelines.

The final score of the game was 3:3, and AC Milan failed to win against Napoli after their pursuers Juventus were forced to draw, and they lost the opportunity to open up the difference. Inzaghi was also furious after the game: "It was an unnecessary foul! I don't understand why De Jong did that, his red card made us very passive. ”

A reporter asked Inzaghi about Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao's actions on the sidelines, and Inzaghi said directly: "I can understand, if it were me, I would have made such a move." ”

The results are in, and AC Milan's draw at Napoli is irrevocable, so they should now forget about it and focus on the upcoming Champions League fixtures.

AC Milan's opponent is the Portuguese Super League powerhouse Benfica, from the current point of view, Benfica's strength on paper is not as good as AC Milan, and the first leg AC Milan is playing at home, Inzaghi hopes that the team can win by more than two goals, so that AC Milan will play better after the second leg goes away.

On February 26, at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Benfica lined up their strongest squad to wait for AC Milan to arrive, and before the game, head coach Vittoria made it clear: "Zhang Shujie is the most dangerous man in AC Milan, we will definitely stop him, he does not want to score on our turf." ”

Benfica did defend Zhang Shujie very tightly as said, while AC Milan's midfield was not organized enough, which made him unable to get effective support in the front field and was somewhat isolated.

In the first half, AC Milan's midfield and backfield were a little disjointed, Zhang Shujie had relatively few opportunities to get the ball, and he began to retreat appropriately, but there were very few teammates around him who could break the pressure for him. For the full forty-five minutes, Zhang Shujie only had one shot on goal, two successful dribbles and two successes, and other than that, there were not many bright spots.

Vittoria was a little complacent, he thought that his defensive tactics had succeeded in freezing Zhang Shujie, and even he was the only one, and this Mr. 93 million was nothing more than that.

However, soon, Zhang Shujie made him regret it! This was in the 59th minute of the second half, he took the ball on the left side to break through the bag of the opponent's two defenders, and rubbed the ball to the far corner with his right foot, AC Milan 1:0! This is Zhang Shujie's seventh Champions League goal this season, and it is also the first Champions League knockout goal scored for AC Milan, and it is also his 35th Champions League goal. So how many games did it take him to score those 35 goals? The answer is 37!!

That's right, he scored an astonishing 35 goals in 37 Champions League games! Such an efficiency is beyond the reach of Messi and Ronaldo!

After being knocked open by Zhang Shujie, Benfica seemed to loosen the strength of his body, in the sixty-seventh minute, Zhang Shujie passed the ball on the right side with a clever pick, and then passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area, Montolivo did not be greedy after winning the ball, and gave the ball to Baca, who made it overnight, 2:0!

The goal completely discouraged Benfica, and Inzaghi swung his fist at Benfica's dugout, which was quite demonstrative. Chen Hui, who was sitting in the press box, wrote: "Vitória said before the game that he would prevent Zhang Shujie from scoring, but his players not only failed to do it, not only let Zhang Shujie score a goal, but also let him instigate an attack. ”

Zhang Shujie's performance is not over, in the 76th minute, after his small-angle shot was blocked by the post, the opposing defender was not cleared in time, Bonaventura seized the opportunity and shot into the net, AC Milan 3:0 Benfica, sealed the win.

In the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Vitória what he thought of Zhang Shujie, who had a good performance in the second half, and he said: "We defended very successfully in the first half, he did almost nothing! ”

Inzaghi retorted: "I believe many people can see that Zhang Shujie deliberately played in the first half, and did not do his best at all. Actually, that's what I meant, I told him to do it. Because of this, it created a false impression that Zhang Shujie had been completely prevented, but after Zhang Shujie showed his true skills in the second half, some people may know that no line of defense in this world can stop him. ”

AC Milan, who won 3-0, almost single-footed in the quarter-finals, only need to score one goal away from home in the second leg to basically confirm progression, when Benfica need to score five goals to eliminate Milan, and this is on the premise of not conceding a goal.

Of course, all this is just hypothetical, and world football is not without precedents for reversal, just to see if Benfica can have this fate, and also to see if AC Milan agrees.
