May is the 12th, before the start of the 36th round of Serie A, AC Milan announced a one-year contract extension with Zhang Shujie, when Zhang Shujie will turn 37 years old, if nothing else, he will end his career at AC Milan.

As soon as the news came out, the entire AC Milan was boiling, and Milan fans were very happy about Zhang Shujie's stay. Although Zhang Shujie is 36 years old, everyone has seen Zhang Shujie's role in such a key game as the Champions League. At the moment, AC Milan have no one who can do as well as Zhang Shujie in key games, so it is very wise for the club to keep him.

Zhang Shujie said: "I am very happy to continue to play for Milan and I feel very honoured to be able to play at such a great club. I will give all my energy to AC Milan and do everything I can to help Milan win the title. ”

Li Yonghong said: "We are very happy that he decided to stay. Next season, we will lose Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi, and it will be a sad thing to lose Zhang Shujie again. Now, we need to try to postpone this sad thing as much as possible. ”

Li Yonghong's words are a bit intriguing, because he also knows that no player can stay on the field forever, and there will always be a day when he retires, but he is trying to make Zhang Shujie retire later.

Zhang Shujie's contract renewal is also an incentive for AC Milan, although in the league, they are still three points behind Napoli, but as long as Napoli loses one game and AC Milan wins three in a row, then the Rossoneri can reach the top of the Serie A title on goal difference.

Although the idea of pinning on the opponent to lose is not so practical, everything is possible. AC Milan won all three points at home in the 35th round of the league, and the subsequent match between Napoli and Torino was very thrilling and exciting, Torino scored a goal in the opening two minutes, and the score lasted 1:0 until the 90th minute, just when everyone thought Napoli would lose the game and give up the top spot in the standings, the veteran Rogge scored a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to break through the door of the Torino team and make the score 1:1. And this is also the final score of the game.

Napoli were somewhat lucky to pick up a point away from home, and they are just one point ahead of Milan in the table. Inzaghi said: "Napoli are really starting to make mistakes, and if this continues, we will definitely have a chance to overtake them. ”

According to Sport: "Maybe Napoli are feeling the pressure and are nervous in the game. They are afraid of making mistakes, they are afraid of being overtaken by Milan, but the more they do this, the more likely they are to make mistakes in their busyness. Compared to AC Milan, this group of Napoli players has never won a major tournament, and when the title is so close to them, they don't seem to know what to do. ”

In the 36th round, AC Milan defeated Atalanta 1-0 away, and in the match between Napoli and Bologna held at the same time, Napoli finally did not make any more major mistakes, and they won all three points with a score of 2:0 to continue to lead Milan by one point in the standings. In this way, the suspense of the Serie A title can only be left in the last round.

This season's Serie A title pattern is different from the past, with AC Milan and Juventus competing in previous seasons, and now AC Milan and Napoli in contention. Juventus are four points behind Napoli and have been denied out of the league title this season one round earlier. Napoli are all very serious about this title and they will be looking to beat AC Milan to lift the trophy.

Compared to Napoli, AC Milan are under a lot more pressure, even though they are playing at home against a team of modest quality like Chievo. But they are in contention for the league title and Barcelona in a week to win the Champions League. Inzaghi must have wanted both, but AC Milan's current situation is not so optimistic, the pressure of fighting on both fronts has left many of his players injured, and in this game, he can only rely on those veterans.

Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, and Yan Tao started the game, and Xu Ziyi and Vazquez did not enter the squad due to injury. Another point to note about Yan Tao is that if he can score in this game, then he will leave Milan at the end of the season, and if he can't score, Milan will renew his contract for another year. In addition, this is also the last Serie A match between Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi and Vazquez, but unfortunately, Xu Ziyi was injured and could not be present in person.

Even so, the Milan fans at the San Siro unfurled a huge banner for the trio to thank them for their contribution to Milan. Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi have said that their names are enough to write into the history of AC Milan. Vázquez was a bit of a surprise, he had only been in the team for a short time, and I am afraid that even he himself did not expect the Milan fans to like him so much.

In fact, for those hard-working players, it is difficult for fans to dislike them.

In the game, Chievo caused a lot of trouble for AC Milan, and even AC Milan was pressed for a time, and in the 41st minute of the game, Chievo penetrated Donnarumma's ten fingers at the San Siro, and Milan fell behind 0:1 at home.

AC Milan, accustomed to strong winds and waves, did not panic because of this, they regrouped in the second half, and with the cheers of the home fans, AC Milan told Chievo with their strength: This is the San Siro Stadium, and you can't afford to come.

In the 59th minute, Zhang Shujie shook off the Chievo defender after winning the ball in the front court, and scored with a low left-footed shot to equalize the score. It was his thirteenth Serie A goal of the season, and it took him just twenty-three games. This is a very efficient result for a 36-year-old veteran.

With this goal, AC Milan also began to chase after the victory, and for a while Chievo could only shrink into defense. Chievo seems to understand that AC Milan fell behind in the first half just because they took a nap, and Milan in the second half was the familiar Rossoneri.

In the seventy-second minute of the game, Chen Zihua and Mbappe played a delicate match in the midfield, and then Mbappe passed the ball to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie just stopped the ball, and was dragged to the ground by the opposing defender, and the referee decisively blew a foul and gave AC Milan a free kick in front.

The position of this ball is a little close to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie is not so suitable to take the penalty, he gave it to Yan Tao, Yan Tao, who has scored 99 goals for Milan, ushered in his chance to score 100 goals in Milan.

Chievo discharged a five-man wall, Yan Tao stood in front of the ball, observed the goal, and decided to hit the upper left corner of the goal.

The human wall has been arranged, the referee whistled, Yan Tao ran for a long distance, and the instep of his right foot hit the ball, and the ball was almost in a straight line, passing through the human wall and blasting towards the goal. The force was so great that the opposing goalkeeper did not react at all, and the ball flew into the goal and lifted the net high.
