Chapter 944: The group stage is over
At the Stadio São Paulo in Italy, Juventus and Napoli are playing a little later than the AC Milan vs Benevento match, and since AC Milan have already won, Juventus must also win to keep the pressure on AC Milan on points.
But God seemed to be against Juventus, and in the 59th minute of the second half, Callejon received a pass from Hamsik and scored with a left-footed push to give Napoli a 1-0 lead at home.
Napoli opened the door to Juventus on their own turf and Callejon scored his eighth league goal of the season. They were embarrassed by Juventus in the first half, but thankfully, they worked together to open the scoring first. ”
This conceded goal made Juventus invest more in the attack, but unexpectedly, five minutes later, Napoli striker Mersten used his thigh in the front four meters of the penalty area to make it 2:0 for Napoli!
Napoli scored again, this time with their top scorer Marsten Mersten, who scored his twelfth league goal of the season and finished third on the scorers' list, ahead of Juventus striker Dybala and Milan striker Zhang Shujie. ”
Allegri saw that the team conceded two goals in five minutes, and he was so angry that Cao Weilin in the press box could feel his anger, but he had nothing to do. Allegri can only do two things, one is to keep the team on the offensive strength, and the other is to make substitutions.
He replaced the ineffective Higuain with Mandzukic, and then brought on Lichtsteiner for the leaky Desiglio. In fact, Allegri is a bit of a defender who asked the club to sign Desiglio, he also knew that Desiglio's strength was very average at the beginning, but he didn't expect to say that "average" still overestimated this Italian, with Desiglio's ability to go up and down, he couldn't play the main force in the giants at all, and it is no wonder that Milan is eager to sell him after today's big acquisition.
After all, Juventus is a team with a foundation, and it is not completely impossible to fall behind by two goals. And it was the two Chinese players in the team who stepped up to save Allegri.
First up was Huang Yu, whose long-range shot from outside the box in the 78th minute pulled a point back for Juventus, his first goal of the season in the league. Dybala then ran to the goalkeeper to pick it up and put it on the halfway line. Allegri rushed to use the last substitution, removing Khedira for Douglas Costa.
Compared to the first two substitutions, this substitution really made a difference, Costa broke the ball from the feet of Hamsik in the 86th minute, picked out Mandzukic in the box, Mandzukic headed the ball to the back post, Zhao Wenkang even appeared, pushed the goal with his right leg, and equalized the score for Juventus with his second league goal.
"Juventus equalized! It is worthy of being a giant, this kind of historical precipitation of temperament is not comparable to those ordinary powerhouses, I believe that Juventus will never be willing to take only one draw, they want to catch up with AC Milan, they must win. ”
Juventus, who came from two goals down to equalize the score, boosted their morale and bombarded the Napoli goal, creating a moment of illusion: is this Juventus' home stadium or Napoli's home stadium?
Unfortunately, there was too little time given to Juventus, and although they were also given many chances, they were unable to knock on Napoli's door for the third time, and the result of the match was 2:2, Juventus drew away from Napoli. In the standings, the Bianconeri, who were originally only behind AC Milan on goal difference, had to be in second place by two points.
AC Milan are of course happy that Juventus cannot win, especially against third-placed Napoli, both of whom cannot accept a draw, but for AC Milan, it could not have been better.
On 6 December, AC Milan will play their final Champions League group stage against Olympiacos at the Kareskaskski Stadium in Greece. Because AC Milan has qualified in advance, but it is not possible to determine whether it is the first or second, according to Inzaghi's ideas, in fact, it doesn't matter if you take the first and second, if you take the first, their opponent in the round of 16 will be Atletico Madrid; 。
Inzaghi decided to save his strength, but Zhang Shujie took the initiative to ask to fight, and after thinking twice, Inzaghi promised him to give him half time, regardless of whether he could score or not, he would not be allowed to play in the second half. If Zhang Shujie wants to score his tenth Champions League goal, he will have to hold on to 45 minutes.
In this game, Inzaghi only sent half of the main force, Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi were all on the field, but Yan Tao, Rodriguez, Bonucci and other players were not there, Conte started the game, Inzaghi intends to give Conte a full game time, let him get back to form.
Because Zhang Shujie only had forty-five minutes, so he also cherished every opportunity to hit the goal, in the first 20 minutes, he did not have a shot on goal, sometimes he could get up, but he still decided to give up, and made the ball to his teammates, until the 27th minute, he ushered in his first shot of the game, which was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 34th minute, AC Milan played a counterattack, Conte, who had not performed well enough, went straight into the ball on the left side, forced a breakthrough near the bottom line and passed the ball back to the big penalty area, Zhang Shujie in front of him led away the opponent's defender, Xu Ziyi hit the back point and hit the goal with his right foot, AC Milan led 1:0.
The mighty Rossoneri unsurprisingly took the lead on the road, and in the ensuing game, the AC Milan players did their best to create chances for Zhang Shujie. In this game, Inzaghi discharged a rare 4231, and there was only one striker in front of Zhang Shujie, so it can be said that the first firepower was all focused on him.
However, the somewhat cautious Zhang Shujie has only had one shot on goal so far, and it was only in the 42nd minute that he completed his second shot. Suso crossed the penalty area on the right side, Zhang Shujie stopped the ball with his left foot, flashed out of the gap and hit the goal with his right leg, and the ball hung in the dead corner, 2:0!
This is Zhang Shujie's tenth Champions League goal, surpassing Messi, Ronaldo, Li Mu, Lewandowski and other super forwards, ranking first in the scorer list. Ten goals in the group stage is also the second-most in Champions League history, tied with Messi, and the first is Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 11 goals in the 2015/2016 Champions League group stage.
In the second half, Zhang Shujie really left, Silva took the center forward, he and Bonucci scored a goal each in the 59th and 67th minutes, and locked the score at 5: Milan remained unbeaten with 16 points from five wins and one draw in six group games, and advanced to the round of 16.
