Chapter 986: Meet Real Madrid Again

In the 34th round of Serie A, AC Milan played Benevento at home, Zhang Shujie made a pass and a shot in this game, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi also contributed an assist each, and AC Milan defeated Benevento 3:0. Zhang Shujie scored his 48th league goal, tying his own record last season, and he only needs one more goal to set a new league goal record in a single season in Serie A.

The whole of Serie A seems to be expecting the goal, with Milan Sport Newspaper saying: "Obviously, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Shujie sets a new record, there are still four rounds of the league, and it is too simple for him to score a goal in four games." ”

Inzaghi also said: "I am very eager to see Zhang Shujie's 49th goal, I am not sure which game it will be, but this season, the single season record of Serie A will definitely be rewritten." ”

Zhang Shujie himself said: "How can I say it? Actually, I am also looking forward to it, after all, there is only one ball left, and it is false to say that I don't want it." I can't pack tickets for the next game, but I'll do my best. ”

This week, the Premier League title was born early, Chelsea beat Swansea City 1-0 away to win the league title two rounds early, but unfortunately he could not participate in the celebration, he had to recuperate from an injury in a hospital bed.

On April 29, the 35th round of Serie A, AC Milan away to Bologna, if Zhang Shujie can score in this game, Milan's teammates are also constantly creating opportunities for him, but strangely, Zhang Shujie's shot is always a millimeter. He had three shots on goal in the first half, all of which grazed the post, and although he didn't score in the first 45 minutes, he set up Silva to score his 18th league goal in the 34th minute.

In the second half, Zhang Shujie still missed the goal, two shots were within the goal frame, but they were all saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the score was 1:0 for a long time, fortunately Bologna has not scored, and AC Milan also maintained the score of 1:0 until the end of the game.

Zhang Shujie failed to set a new record in this game, but he is not worried, there are still three rounds left in the Serie A to end, as long as the team can win, he will still be second without scoring in one or two rounds.

After this round, the Champions League semi-finals are about to begin, and the situation is AC Milan vs Real Madrid, Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain. Milan and Real Madrid met in the last four of the Champions League for the second year in a row, and last year Milan eliminated Real Madrid to advance to the final to win the title, but this year Real Madrid will have revenge.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Inzaghi said: "We don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to meet Real Madrid again, they are a strong team and a great opponent. I know it's not so easy to win, and it's not going to be so easy for Real Madrid to win. ”

Zidane said: "This is a good opportunity for us to take revenge, I don't dare to say that we will be able to beat Milan, it's not that I'm afraid of them, in fact no team in football today can guarantee that they can beat Milan because they are very strong. However, if you want to go to the final, you have to win. ”

It is not difficult to see from the words of the two managers that they both have a little fear of the strength of their opponents, but at the same time believe in their own players. Sometimes strong teams are like that, respect the opponent and believe in themselves.

At present, Zhang Shujie has scored 13 goals, ranking second in the Champions League scorer list, and Ronaldo has scored 12 goals, ranking third in the Champions League scorer list. No. 1 Li Mu has been able to score just 14 goals due to injury, so the battle for the top scorer will be between Zhang Shujie, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar – unless the trio don't score a goal in the next three games.

The first leg between the two teams is scheduled for May 2 at the San Siro Stadium, and in a heavyweight match like this, the first home game is not necessarily a good thing. But AC Milan have no choice, Inzaghi wants the team to score as many goals as possible, and it is better not to concede goals, not to let Real Madrid get away goals, otherwise it will not be so easy to play at the Bernabeu.

AC Milan lined up 352 as usual, with goalkeeper Donnarumma, defenders Romagnoli, Yan Tao and Bonucci, midfielders Xu Ziyi, Locatelli, Rodriguez, Chen Zihua and Antonio Conte, and forwards Zhang Shujie and Silva.

Real Madrid has a formation of 433, goalkeeper Keylor Navas, defenders Marcelo, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal, midfielders Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, and forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Isco.

Inzaghi didn't want his team to concede at home, the ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Real Madrid knocked on the door of AC Milan after just ten minutes, and it was their number one star who scored for the Galacticos: Cristiano Ronaldo. It was Ronaldo's thirteenth Champions League goal, tying Zhang Shujie in the scorer list, with the two tied for second place and only one goal less than Li Mu.

Inzaghi, who was on the sidelines, shook his head again and again, and said before the start of the game that he would not concede the goal, and it was only ten minutes before he was scored by Real Madrid. Yan Tao and Romagnoli made mistakes in defense, for which Yan Tao also blamed himself, he sat on the ground, slapped the turf fiercely, and cursed in his mouth: "Damn!"

Bonucci pulled him up: "It's okay, it's still early." ”

After AC Milan kicked off in the middle circle, the game continued, Real Madrid, which was mainly defensive and counterattacking, already had a goal in hand, so the formation was pressed back, and Milan, which was also very good at defending and counterattacking, attacked, the Rossoneri is not without a master of ball control, and they are not afraid of anyone when they control the ball, but it is not enough to have possession of the ball in a football game, and the goal is the key to winning or losing.

Zhang Shujie, Silva, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi each had one attack in seven minutes, but two of those four shots were too high and two were too wide. AC Milan have the upper hand on the field, but this is not a way to score.

The on-site commentator said: "AC Milan played a good game, but they couldn't do it without scoring, and they had to be careful of Real Madrid's counter-attacks at all times. ”

The speed of the Galaxy fighter's counterattack is one of the best in today's football, and only AC Milan can compete with it, but now Milan can't fight back at all, Real Madrid blocked Milan's attack in defense, Ronaldo, Benzema Isco's shots are very close to the goal, if Donnarumma doesn't play well, Real Madrid is at least 2:0.

"Real Madrid's shots are all within the frame, which is much higher quality than AC Milan. Did Milan get a little anxious because they were conceding the ball too quickly? ”

Inzaghi couldn't do much to see the situation, as long as he told the players to pay more attention in defense and not to play too quickly when attacking. With fifteen minutes left in the first half, Inzaghi wants his team to stop conceding goals and make another big change in the second half.
