Chapter 735: Angry Again

In the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, although Chen Zihua opened the scoring in Paris, the goals of Hazard, Li Mu and Costa Fabregas made Paris Saint-Germain lose 1:4 at home, and Xu Ziyi sent two assists. After the loss, Paris Saint-Germain's appearance was also very dangerous, Chen Zihua was very dissatisfied with this, he said: "I don't know why, the team has a lot of investment every year, but it is always difficult to play well in the Champions League, how long will we have to wait to touch the Champions League trophy?"

His words made the media intriguing, all of Europe knew that in the summer of last year, Real Madrid and other super giants wanted to get this all-round midfielder, at first Chen Zihua did not make it clear whether to leave or stay, after a period of time, he issued a statement, expressing his willingness to stay, and also said very euphemistically, for the time being, he only wants to stay for one more season.

Now Chen Zihua has spoken out again about the team's defeat, which has also made the media think, is this super midfielder tired of Paris Saint-Germain's incompetence in the Champions League and is leaving?

However, all of this is still just speculation, but Chen Zihua saw Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Xu Ziyi and other players lift the Champions League trophy one after another, and saw Tang Ling, Zhao Wenkang and Huang Yu and other national team teammates also enter the Champions League final, it is impossible to say that he is not impressed.

Any professional player aspires to get the highest honors, not to mention that Chen Zihua is so good and so young, he has the right to pursue a bigger stage and get more championship trophies.

The other teams with Chinese players won without exception, Juventus also narrowly escaped a home win over Bayern, only Chen Zihua, who is almost certain to be out of the tournament with the team after the round of 16.

***************************

Back in Serie A, AC Milan waited for the challenge of the Torino team at the San Siro in the 27th round, and Zhang Shujie scored three goals in the fourth, 34th and 61st minutes in this game, scoring a hat trick to help the team win 3:0 and continue to lead the standings. It was Zhang's second hat-trick for AC Milan and his 29th league goal of the season, with 11 rounds left in Serie A, and it will be interesting to see if Zhang can break the record of 35 league goals in a single season set by Nodal in 1949/1950.

Interestingly, Nodal was playing for AC Milan at the time, and he was also one of the "Swedish Troika", the founder of AC Milan's first dynasty. "Now Zhang Shujie is very close to Nodal's record, with a variety of coincidences, can he create a dynasty in Milan like Nodal did back then?"

However, those who are close to this record do not know Zhang Shujie, Napoli striker Higuain has now scored 26 goals, and he is also likely to break Nodal's record. It can be said that unless Milan and Juventus make low-level mistakes in the remaining eleven rounds of the league, Napoli with a difference of nine points and seven points from Juventus will not be able to lift the trophy.

But Napoli would not give up, and Higuain said: "I not only have to compete with Zhang Shujie for the top scorer, but also with AC Milan and Juventus for the title!"

Whether it succeeds or not, it is a good thing that Higuain and his team-mates can have this belief, at least it can make Serie A more intense and attract more attention.

Two days later, the Coppa Italia is coming, AC Milan host Alexandri, and AC Milan won a big away win in the last leg, and a win in this leg should not be a problem. Zhang Shujie, who was suspended in the last round, continued to take a break today, and finally the Rossoneri thrashed Alessandri 5-0, with Mene scoring twice, Romagnoli, Sabato and Balotelli scoring a goal each, and AC Milan successfully advanced to the next round.

On March 6, AC Milan played Sassuolo away, many media thought that AC Milan would win, the strength of the two teams was very different, and Milan still had Zhang Shujie in the attack. After the opening, the process was as expected by the media, AC Milan had a clear advantage, and in the 24th minute, Zhang Shujie broke the deadlock and scored his thirtieth league goal of the season.

The last time someone scored 30 goals in Serie A was in the 2012/2013 season, when Zhang Shujie's friend Li Mu accomplished this feat, when Li Mu scored 34 goals in 34 games and was named the top scorer in Serie A, and these 34 goals were also the second highest record in Serie A, equalling Nodal (1950/1951). Now, Zhang Shujie is aiming for a higher record, and with his ability and form, it is highly likely that he will do so.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Zhang Shujie scored again, and AC Milan led 2:0. However, in the ensuing game time, AC Milan seemed to be a little distracted, with a series of mistakes at the back, and conceded two goals in the 71st and 73rd minutes before Sassuolo equalised.

Zhang Shujie was angry: "What are you doing? Conceding two goals in three minutes? Do you think we have won?"

The players in the back line all looked at him, Yan Tao was a little aggrieved, these two lost goals had nothing to do with him, Sassuolo was not playing on his side at all, obviously deliberately avoiding him, Zhang Shujie also saw it clearly in the front court, he was not angry at Yan Tao just now, but other teammates who were distracted.

Being a defender in this immature defense line is really hard for Yan Tao. In his eyes, only Romagnoli is a promising player in this backline, with the possibility of becoming a first-class defender or even a top defender, but he is too young and inexperienced and easy to make mistakes......

If it was just an equaliser, then AC Milan still had a chance to score another goal and take the score even further. Unfortunately, in the 84th minute, Sassuolo relied on a quick counterattack and only two passes to the back of AC Milan, from this detail, it is not difficult to see how weak AC Milan's midfield defense is.

Sassuolo's little-known striker Sansone burst forward from the right side of Milan with the ball, Romagnoli was in charge of defense, Sansone was strong, Romagnoli squeezed him out, but Romagnoli was afraid of eating cards, and the action was not too big, Sanssoone went around the pitch from the outside.

Zhang Shujie looked at the inside of the penalty area, the situation was not good, and shouted at Romagnoli: "Don't let him pass, hurry up and foul!"

Romagnoli heard the hint, but he still hesitated, it was this hesitation, Sansone went directly around Romagnoli and passed the ball to the goal, De Vrij shoveled in front of the goal, Donnarumma touched the ball, but failed to save, the score became 3:2, AC Milan fell behind!
