May 21, San Siro Stadium, 37th round of Serie A.

This round is related to whether Milan can win the championship in advance. Juventus' game has been played early, with a 3-0 win at home to Crotone, two points behind Milan with a game in hand, and a win for Milan would make the final league game meaningless.

Bologna coach Donadoni spent 12 seasons with AC Milan as a player, dedicating his peak career to the Rossoneri, which is why many media speculated that Bologna, who have run out of desires, are likely to do a favor for Milan. "Torino Sport" even said bluntly: "Bologna will definitely release water in this round." ”

But in his pre-match press conference, Donadoni made it clear that he would do his best. He said so, who knows if it will be like this when he really kicks, everyone has seen this kind of official polite words a lot.

AC Milan will naturally send the strongest lineup, Inzaghi started 433, goalkeeper Donnarumma, defenders Antonelli, Romagnoli, Yan Tao, Abate, midfielders Locatelli, Bonaventura, Chen Zihua, strikers Deulofeu, Zhang Shujie, Suso.

Bologna is in a formation of 4231, goalkeeper Mirante, defenders Torosidis, Gastardelo, Holland, Mbaye, two midfielders are Donsa and Ted, three forwards are Di Francesco, Verdi, Krejic, and striker Destro.

In terms of formation and personnel, Bologna did have the idea of giving it their all, but in the game, the players were not very excited. But it can't be said that Donadoni let them play negatively, the biggest reason is that Bologna has no pursuit this season, relegation will not be relegated, European competition is impossible, winning the championship is even more fantastic, in this case, why should the players risk injury in this final round of the game to fight with the opponent? For an uncertain game to offend the new local tyrant AC Milan in Serie A, Bologna can't do it at all.

Maybe there are already players thinking about where to go on holiday after the season.

This situation is not unique to Bologna, it is the case in all major European leagues. At the end of the season, any team that has decided its fate in advance will have reservations for the last round or two, and the team will start to plan for the coming year. So even if Bologna really does a personal favor in this game, it is reasonable.

In the eighth minute of the game, the first shot of the game was born, Deulofeu knocked Zhang Shujie in front of the penalty area, Zhang Shujie got the ball with his right foot and buckled over Gastardelo, hit the goal with his left foot, the ball flew to the lower right corner, Mirante flew and saved, saving the ball from the bottom line. The goalkeeper, who had been teammates at Parma and Zhang Shujie, did not let him score easily.

Chen Zihua took a corner kick and drove directly to the penalty area, Yan Tao successfully competed for the top and hit the goal with a header, this time it was more threatening than Zhang Shujie's shot last time, a header two meters in front of the goal, it was difficult for the general goalkeeper to save, but Milan was like a god, and the ball was lifted off the crossbar with one palm, and Milan got another corner kick.

'Milan had a high quality attack on both occasions and if it hadn't been for Mirante's excellent performance, Bologna would have fallen behind. ”

The Milan fans were in high spirits, hoping that AC Milan would take all three points and lift the league title after a six-year absence. They sang the team anthem in the stands to boost the morale of the players.

Chen Zihua's second corner kick was knocked out of the penalty area by Mirante, because many AC Milan players gathered in the penalty area, the number of people in the backfield was insufficient, Destro received the ball, and immediately counterattacked, Yan Tao quickly retreated, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't speed up the ball.

Destro shifted the ball to the right, Krejic received the ball and sent it forward, which Mbaye cut in and unloaded with his left foot.

'Bologna played a beautiful counter-attack and AC Milan are rushing back to defend. If Bologna's attack can be successful, AC Milan's road to the title will inevitably be hindered. ”

Mbaye approached the bottom line with the ball, Antonelli posted it, Mbaye pretended to pass to the penalty area, Antonelli turned his back to block the ball, but Mbaye buckled the ball, dodged Antonelli, and passed the ball to Ted at the right end of the penalty area, Ted rubbed the ball to the goal with the outside of his right foot, Destro grabbed the point, Yan Tao killed in time, and took the first step to push the ball outside the penalty area, Di Francesco followed up with a long shot, and the ball flew out of the bottom line.

'The ball didn't go in, but Bologna played well and they took advantage of the gaps left at the back when AC Milan were attacking with all their might, and Milan had to pay attention to that, otherwise they would not rule out conceding in the game. ”

Inzaghi also saw the problem, he called Yan Tao over and asked him to inform the other defenders to be careful at the back, he didn't want to see the team concede goals, what he wanted to see was that his disciples could send the ball into the door of Bologna.

Just after Bologna's long-range shot, in the next fifteen minutes, there were not many bright spots in the game, and both sides also organized attacks, Milan played more cautiously and did not want to be attacked by Bologna again, while Bologna played more conservatively, stealing one if they could steal it, and it didn't matter if they couldn't steal it, anyway, this win or loss would have no impact on their season standings.

The Milan fans in the stands were also a little quieter than at the beginning, and the team song was not being sung for the time being. That doesn't mean they don't support their team, they're just waiting for the best time.

Because of Zhang Shujie's presence, Milan fans will not wait too long, he is very active in the frontcourt. He doesn't stick to the ball, he doesn't greed for merit, and he cherishes every opportunity. In the 28th minute, after receiving a pass from Chen Zihua, he made a one-two combination with Deulofeususo, and when he got the ball again, he was already standing in the Bologna penalty area, and there was only one Mirante in front of him.

"AC Milan got the best chance of the game!" Zhang Shujie is now facing Mirante alone, and the two former Parma team-mates are finally going head-to-head. ”

Mirante of course knows his strength, when he was still in Parma before, Mirante guessed that the young Zhang Shujie would become a big weapon in the future, but he did not expect that this Chinese could break the monopoly of Messi Ronaldo and win the Golden Ball Award, and now he has become more mature after a series of major competitions.

Zhang Shujie looked at the attacking Mirante, and before Holland could return to the defense, he pushed a left-footed shot into the small goal, the ball passed between Mirante's legs, rolled a short distance, crossed the goal line, and rolled into Bologna's goal.
