Chapter 968: Will There Be More Than 48?
Genoa goalkeeper Perrin made a move. He attacked in a very timely manner, Zhang Shujie had no room to shoot, even if it was a hanging shot, it was too close to be realized.
If you change to other strikers, you may shoot by feeling, and it depends on God's will to score or not, but Zhang Shujie will not do this, he first made a feint to shoot, Perrin instinctively fell to the ground, and then Zhang Shujie wiped the ball with the sole of his right foot and wiped it from Perrin's right hand.
Now, in front of Zhang Shujie is the empty door of Genoa.
This is his 40th league goal of the season, helping AC Milan to lead 3-0, although the game will be close to 20 minutes after injury time, but AC Milan, who have three goals in hand, can be said to have completely sealed the victory. ”
Zhang Shujie was also very happy after the goal, and his consecutive scoring streak expanded to 23 games. Chen Hui in the press gallery couldn't help but think: how many games will he let expand this record?
Inzaghi applauded his beloved general and then replaced him. The rest of the game was complete garbage time, and when the final whistle blew, AC Milan were given the three points they wanted.
Zhang Shujie was interviewed after the game, and a reporter asked him: "Do you have a goal for your league goals this season?"
The question made him a little confused: "The goal? not at all, I just hope that every goal I score will help the team win." If I don't score a goal and the team wins, I'm still happy, and if I score and the team doesn't win, then I'm not happy. ”
'You scored 48 league goals last season, do you have any ideas for surpassing this season?'
Zhang Shujie smiled and said, "I don't dare to say this casually." It's not easy to score 48 goals in a season, it's a lot harder to score more than that, but I hope to be able to do it, and God decides what the outcome will be. ”
Originally, this was just a perfunctory remark by Zhang Shujie to reporters, but I didn't expect that the next day, all major media thought that Zhang Shujie was determined to break the record of 48 goals. "Milan Sports Newspaper" wrote with the title of "Not Satisfied! Zhang Shujie Vows to Break the Serie A Single-Season Goal Record": "Obviously, Zhang Shujie, who has made countless history, does not think that 48 goals in a single season is his limit, he hopes to score more goals this season and break his own record, which means that he must score at least 49 goals to do it." ”
"With ten rounds left in Serie A, Zhang Shujie only needs to score eleven more goals to set a new record, which doesn't seem difficult to say," said Digital Sports. But we all know that generally at the end of the season, players who have played in various competitions for a long time will inevitably be physically and mentally exhausted, and the goal rate of those striker players will also decline, especially after participating in all the games of AC Milan this season, the physical burden is very large, so this thing that seems easy in theory is actually not so simple. ”
After Zhang Shujie saw these news, he was a little helpless, and his casual words were misinterpreted by the media like this. Chen Hui wrote in the "Sports Weekly": "Everyone wants to break the record, and Zhang Shujie is no exception, even if the original record was created by himself." It's just that so far in the schedule, Zhang Shujie, who has played every game of AC Milan, is not as full of physical fitness as at the beginning of the season. Inzaghi also realized this and replaced him early in some games where the big picture was decided. Zhang Shujie only 'hopes' that he can score at least 49 league goals, and whether he can do it is another matter. Of course, if he really didn't do it, we can't blame him for anything, because he's good enough. ”
Two days later, at the start of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, AC Milan hosted Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, the first goal in the game, top scorer Antoine Griezmann tackled in the box in the 28th minute to give the Sheets a 1-0 lead, but just four minutes later, Silva received a pass from Xu Ziyi and headed the equaliser. This was also the result of the first half, with the two sides temporarily drawn.
Less than six minutes after the start of the second half, AC Milan overtook the score, the goal was Silva again, the assist player was still Xu Ziyi, and the score became 2:1. After Atletico Madrid frantically counterattacked, and AC Milan in order to conserve physical strength, adopted a conservative style of play, now the aggregate score of the two sides is 5:2, Atletico Madrid wants to advance, at least three goals must be scored, in contrast, AC Milan's promotion situation is much clearer, so Inzaghi did not want the players to be too consumed, so he slowed down the pace of attack.
In the last ten minutes of the game, the Atletico players finally died down, and they also understood that it was impossible to penetrate Yan Tao's defense three times in such a little time. AC Milan also eliminated Atletico Madrid with an aggregate score of 5:2 over two legs and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
The last 16 of the Champions League was completed in two days, with Paris Saint-Germain knocking out Benfica, Bayern Munich beating Manchester United, Chelsea sending Barcelona home, Manchester City knocking out Sevilla, Juventus knocking out Liverpool, Real Madrid and Porto knocking out Beckitas and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
Among these games, the most noteworthy is the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0 away, Li Mu dominated the game with two shots and one pass. Chelsea sank the spaceship 6-3 over two legs, with star Li Mu scoring four goals and providing one assist for five goals. In the Champions League scorer list, he also ranked first with 12 goals, surpassing superstars such as Zhang Shujie, Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Behind him, Messi has returned to Spain with Barcelona, and the competition for the top scorer in the Champions League is also focused on these four people.
This season's Li Muke is not only in the Champions League, he is also majestic in the league, he has played 27 games and scored 39 goals, one less than Zhang Shujie in Serie A, scoring one less goal. The reason why Chelsea can lead the Premier League is that Li Mu can be said to have contributed a lot, and some media have said that this season's European Golden Boot will only be produced among these two. Expanding the scope a little further, there is also a bit of theoretical hope for Neymar in Paris.
After Messi and Ronaldo gradually grew old, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, and Neymar, the post-90s generation, supported world football, especially the first two. Among the many post-90s stars, only Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have won the Golden Ball, and even the Brazilian king Neymar has not been touched, of course, Neymar has just turned 26 years old, and he still has the opportunity to win this personal ultimate award.
