After the Chinese team defeated Iraq, they continued to rank second in Group A with six points from three games. Jordan in the same group www.biquge.info unsurprisingly defeated Singapore, winning all three games and accumulating nine points to top the list, Iraq only won one game, ranking third, Singapore lost all three games with zero points, ranking at the bottom, with their strength, such points have basically missed the top ten.

There are three qualifiers left in this stage, and the top three teams are all hoping to advance. If China can beat Iraq away from home in the next round, only one draw in the remaining two rounds will ensure early qualification.

The second leg of the two teams will meet on the 11th of next month, and the players will return to their respective clubs with a full month to go. The four of Zhang Shujie embarked on a flight to Europe the day after the match, and they had to prepare for the league.

Juventus will take on Chievo away in the seventh round of Serie A, Zhang Shujie, who performed well in the last round of the league, started the game, and Li Mu is still on the bench, although his performance is no worse than Zhang Shujie, but his biggest rival is Piero, a player with Juventus roots.

Chievo and Juventus are not far apart in quality, and the team is aiming for a draw and a win. Only three minutes into the game, Zhang Shujie announced his opponent with a pick-and-shoot that he was going to be the main opponent. Six minutes later, Vucinic opened the scoring but the referee ruled that the goal was disallowed for handball, and Chievo escaped.

But luck will not last forever, in the 34th minute of the first half, Juventus played a beautiful counterattack, Pirlo made a long pass in the backfield, Zhang Shujie successfully countered offside, shook the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal, Juventus led 1:0 away.

It was Zhang's third league goal of the season, and he has been in good form of late, including the national team, playing three games in two weeks, scoring four goals, and Conte will surely make him the team's first striker in the long run.

Juventus' lead lasted for half an hour, and in the 64th minute, Chievo levelled the scores. They also reached their first goal: to keep the peace. The next step is to align with the second goal: winning.

Chievo's attack intensified, but he was never able to break through Buffon's ten-finger pass. Piero had a chance to take the lead in the 72nd minute, but his solo shot was denied by the post. After squandering this precious scoring opportunity, Piero also sat on the pitch in frustration, wondering if he remembered what happened in the Euro 2000 final.

It was the nightmare of his life.

In the 81st minute, Zhang Shujie, who had already made a contribution, stood up again, he shook four defenders in the front field in a row, ran with the ball for more than 30 meters, and disrupted Chievo's backline. He cleverly distributed the ball to Vidal, who fired a right-footed shot from distance to finally put Juventus in the lead.

2:1 is also the final result of the game. In the post-match press conference, Conte was full of praise for Zhang Shujie, and said that it was thanks to the young Chinese striker that Juventus were able to take all three points on the road. Zhang Shujie was naturally voted the best of the game by the media, and he helped Juventus continue to lead the standings with a goal and an assist.

In stark contrast to him is Li Mu, who did not play in this game. Zhang Shujie can't help this, he is very eager to partner with Li Mu, just like in the national team. But this is Juventus and it needs to be competed.

Juventus has won six and drawn one in seven league rounds, remains unbeaten, and temporarily ranks first in the league. After two seasons of slump, the Bianconeri have finally begun to revive this season, and the media are chanting: the invincible Juventus team is back!

The 'Old Lady's' biggest rival is defending champions AC Milan, with the Rossoneri sitting in second place with five wins, one draw and one defeat. Both teams are favourites to win the title this season, followed by other teams such as Roma, Napoli and Inter Milan.

On Sunday, October 23, the eighth round of Serie A began. Juventus hosted ******, and it was widely believed that Juventus would usher in another victory, Zhang Shujie still started the game, and unexpectedly, Li Mu also appeared in the starting eleven.

Conte said before the game that he would give opportunities to those players who train hard, and in his eyes, Li Mu is such a hard-working player. Conte also said that Li Mu has scored almost every game in recent training and is in good form, and should not continue to be buried on the bench.

Zhang Shujie was also very happy to see his old friend start the game. He secretly told Li Mu that he would help him score in the game.

Zhang Shujie said that he did it, he passed Li Mu diagonally in the thirteenth minute, but unfortunately Li Mu failed to grasp it, the shot was too positive, and was blocked by the ****** goalkeeper Frey, two minutes later, Zhang Shujie made the ball to Li Mu again, and this time Li Mu hit the ball high again.

The game played for 20 minutes, Zhang Shujie did not have a shot on goal, and Li Mu had already had two. For this reason, Li Mu took advantage of the break in the game to walk up to Zhang Shujie and asked: "Why do you keep passing to me? Don't forget that you are a striker, and scoring goals is your first responsibility." ”

"Haha, of course I do. But I want you to score in this game so that your position can be more secure. ”

Li Mu had nothing to do, he could only pass some good balls to Zhang Shujie as much as possible in the game, so there was an interesting situation in the game, the two passed the ball to each other, and each wasted a chance to score.

The score was 0-0 until the end of the first half, a phenomenon Antonio Conte pointed out in the fifteenth minute of the break. He said that a striker who doesn't shoot and passes the ball when it's time to score is not a good striker. Zhang Shujie and Li Mu both knew who Conte was referring to, but he didn't name them, but the two also paid some attention, if this happened frequently, the number of appearances they got in the future would only decrease.

In the second half, it didn't happen again. Li Mu took the lead in the 61st minute when he headed home Marquesio's cross to score his second league goal of the season as Juventus finally took the lead.

Li Mu is very happy, and Zhang Shujie is also happy for him. It's just unexpected that Li Mu's performance is not over yet.

The counterattack failed, Vidal cut off the ball in the middle and passed to Chiellini, who assisted from the side to the front, Chiellini passed to the penalty area, Li Mu unloaded the ball, threw out an amazing "bull tail", deceived the ****** defender Moretti, and used his left foot to buckle the defender Mesto, and rubbed an inside arc in the left corner of the penalty area, the ball bypassed Frei's finger and flew into the goal by grazing the post.

Li Mu scored the second goal in the way he did best, and he scored twice in the game! His two goals were only ten minutes apart, and even he couldn't believe that he could score two goals in a game for Juventus so quickly.

"Papaya, congratulations. Zhang Shujie jumped on his back and was the first to congratulate him.

"Well, you should score a goal as well. ”

"Alright, I'll try my best. ”

Zhang Shujie did try to score goals, but he really didn't have a goal luck in this round of the league, or forgot to pass the goal boots, he missed the goal with two close shots in five minutes, one of which was blocked by a defender on the goal line.

Li Mu sent him a wonderful pass in the 78th minute, Vucinic's running position involved the ****** defense, Zhang Shujie was almost facing half of the empty goal, he snickered in his heart and pushed with his left foot, he thought the ball was gone, but the ball was ghostly off the post, and his idea of celebrating the goal came to an abrupt end with the goal goal.

He stood there with a wry smile and shook his head, this kind of goal didn't score, it seems that he really didn't have a chance to score today. Li Mu looked at him from a distance in confusion, and he was also puzzled. Chen Hui and Shen Hao in the press gallery were also at a loss.

In the impression of the two, Zhang Shujie doesn't seem to have missed such a ball, right? Fortunately, the team was already leading 2:0, and Conte didn't say anything, just silently watched the disciples on the field.

Towards the end of the game, Li Mu assisted Vucinic to score and fixed the score at 3:0!

With two goals and an assist, Li Mu deservedly became the MVP of the game! Many media, including "Torino Sports Newspaper", scored a game-high 9 points for him! On the contrary, Zhang Shujie's score was not so high, and "Torino Sports Newspaper" politely gave him a passing 6 points, and said that "although he didn't score, he worked hard and created several good opportunities for his teammates."

At the end of eight rounds, Juventus is still the leader, but in the scorer list, the Bianconeri players are relatively low, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu each scored three goals, the most goals scored in the team, but there is still a gap with Ibrahimovic's seven goals, Cavani and Milito's six goals, and even less than Jovetic's five goals. However, Pirlo's three assists are currently the top assisters in Serie A, followed by Li Muyi with two and Zhang Shujie with one.

Juventus are the only unbeaten team in the league so far, which also shows that the team relies on defense. But Conte is not satisfied with the status quo and he still needs more goals from his strikers. If you want to revive the giants, you have to establish the status of the striker in the team, which is what any big team must do.

For example, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Messi, and AC Milan's Ibrahimovic all have their own leading forwards. Juventus are not exempt from this exception, Juventus used to have an extremely luxurious forward line, but that was many years ago, and now the Bianconeri need to develop more strikers.

Conte has two candidates in mind, and these two people are none other than Zhang Shujie and Li Mu. It doesn't matter if Zhang Shujie didn't score in the last round, no striker can guarantee that he will score in every game, in Conte's opinion, Zhang Shujie is good enough, but it still needs time to cultivate.

Li Mu impressed Conte with his performance against ******, and he decided to give the teenager more chances. As for Vucinic and Matri, the position of the two is determined according to the formation, if it is 352, the two will have to sit on the bench, and if it is 433, Vucinic will partner Zhang Li and the two in the front line.

Juventus' opponent in the ninth round is Fiorentina, and the "Purple Lily" have been disappointing this season, with only two wins in the first eight rounds, ranking sixth from the bottom, which is the third group of Serie A, which is often referred to as the "relegation team".

However, the league is still a long way to go, and no one can say whether Fiorentina will bounce back strongly in the future, and maybe they will finally make it to Europe, which is not impossible.

Juventus are gaining momentum, as evidenced by the fact that they beat AC Milan and won three in a row, even if Fiorentina were playing at home, they could not say they could steal three points from the Old Lady. Fiorentina coach and former world football free-kick master Sinissa Mihajlovic told the media: "Our team has not been in a good situation recently, it has not won three consecutive rounds, and it has suffered two consecutive defeats recently, but it met Juventus in this round. But we won't throw in the towel, we'll fight Juventus to the death. ”

Mihajlovic said it very tactfully, only saying "fight to the death", not "trying to win the opponent", he also knows that it is very difficult to defeat Juventus with Fiorentina's current strength, and the fourteenth-ranked team wants to win the first-ranked team, if he says it, I am afraid that even Mihajlovic himself will not believe it.

Conte praised Fiorentina, saying that "it is a great team", "there are many famous stars in history", etc., but everyone knows that he is just polite words, and he will never be polite to Fiorentina on the pitch.

Conte has already thought of the starting list, including Zhang Shujie and Li Mu. But on the morning of the game, Zhang Shujie suffered from calf cramps during a training session, and the team doctor told Conte that it was best to let him rest for a round. In desperation, Conte let Zhang Shujie rest at home and let Vucinic replace him in the starting eleven, with Matri on standby as the first substitute.
