Chapter 721: You Chase Me
AC Milan have lost their last two league games and one Champions League game, suffering three consecutive defeats of the season, and Inzaghi will not allow any more mistakes in the next round away to Torino.
On the training ground, Inzaghi called Yan Tao over: "Yan Tao, come on." ”
Yan Tao ran over: "Sir." ”
Inzaghi said: "I want to talk to you about your red card yesterday. ”
Yan Tao was stunned for a moment and said bitterly: "I'm sorry, sir, I know I was too uncalm at the time, and it was my fault that the team lost." ”
"Yan Tao, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself, the loss of any team is not the fault of one person. I just wanted to tell you that you have to keep your temper under control. You're a very, very good defender and a first-class defender in today's football, but if you want to be at the top, you have to keep those bad tempers. As a defender, you can play against the opposing striker on the pitch, and you can find a way to provoke the opponent, but you can't be provoked. Your shirt number at AC Milan is number 13, and you should know how great it was back then. ”
Yan Tao nodded vigorously: "I understand, sir, I will remember." ”
"Alright, let's go training. ”
Yan Tao returned to the training ground, and Zhang Shujie asked him, "What did Inzaghi tell you?"
"Yesterday's red card. ”
Zhang Shujie let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more.
************************
In the eighth round of Serie A, AC Milan challenged Torino away. In the 29th minute of the first half, Berotti assisted Barsetti, and Torino scored the first goal at home. In the second half, Baca equalized the score for AC Milan in the 63rd minute, and in the 71st minute, Zhang Shujie overtook the score for Milan, and then Milan gradually entered the defensive stage and maintained the score of 2:1 until the end of the game.
Three days later, the third round of the Champions League group stage began, AC Milan hosted Arsenal, the two teams played 1:1, Zhang Shujie took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, and assisted Yan Tao to score a goal, and Arsenal scored a goal by Mesut Ozil.
Barcelona in the same group thrashed Borisov 5:0, with three games, two wins and one draw, ranking first in the group with seven points, followed by AC Milan, Arsenal ranked third, and Borisov was at the bottom.
Back in the league, Yan Tao's red card was finally lifted and he could start for the team, AC Milan faced a weaker Sozaro in this game, and the Rossoneri won a hearty 6-0 victory at the San Siro Stadium, Zhang Shujie scored a hat-trick with an overhead kick and an assist. It was Zhang Shujie's first hat-trick for AC Milan, and he improved his league tally to 11, surpassing Higuain's eight goals and dominating the top scorer list, followed by Baka, Yan Tao and Adriano, whose goal was the result of Zhang Shujie's wonderful pass.
In the 10th round, AC Milan faced Chievo, Antonelli scored the only goal of the game, and the Rossoneri beat Chievo 1-0 at home, and in the 11th round, AC Milan defeated Lazio 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpic, with Zhang Shujie, Baca and Bertolacchi making contributions respectively. Since then, AC Milan have won four of their five games and drawn one of their matches, including three consecutive wins in their last three league games, biting Juventus and Napoli in the table.
On November 5, AC Milan went to England to challenge Arsenal away, in this game AC Milan conceded a goal first, relying on Zhang Shujie's brace, 3:1 victory over the opponent, consolidating their second place in the group standings, as long as one more win, AC Milan will enter the round of 16 in advance.
On November 8, the twelfth round of Serie A, AC Milan defeated Atalanta 1:0 at home, Zhang Shujie scored the winning goal in the 79th minute, the league won four consecutive wins, five consecutive wins on both lines, and has been unbeaten in seven consecutive games in the league and the Champions League, these seven games, AC Milan has won six games, which is the best record achieved in the past two years.
"Milan Sport" said in the news: "AC Milan has been on the right track of revival, Zhang Shujie is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, he scored eight goals, two assists, directly created more than half of the team's goals, showing his value." ”
Chen Hui said: "Although Zhang Shujie has either scored goals or assists during this time, in my opinion, this is not Zhang Shujie's strongest side. However, in this AC Milan team that lacks the core of the midfield, it is really rare that he can still have a goal rate of more than one goal per game. ”
Silvio Berlusconi also praised: "He (Zhang Shujie) is very good, after so many years, we have finally found their owner for AC Milan's number nine shirt. Seriously, he reminds me of Basten back then, no, he's better than Basten! Maybe in the future, he can do more for Milan than Basten. ”
Inzaghi was also full of praise for Zhang Shujie: "He is so good, but I don't think it's surprising that he can win the Ballon d'Or in this era, which has already proven his ability." Let's ask, in today's football, who else can break the monopoly of Messi Ronaldo and win the Ballon d'Or?"
In fact, Inzaghi is a rhetorical question, and the answer in his mind is "no". However, I am afraid that some people will object to his answer, and this person is Li Mu.
In the Premier League, Chelsea won 1-0 away to Stoke City with Li Mu's goal in the 84th minute, which was Li Mu's seventeenth Premier League goal this season, and he only needed 11 games, in the Champions League, he scored six goals in four games, in the domestic League Cup, Li Mu played only once, but also scored two, counting the Super Cup brace, Li Mu has scored a total of 27 goals for Chelsea so far this season! Out of 27 goals, he only used 17 games in total! A staggering 1.59 goals! In addition, he contributed 10 assists, three times in the Champions League, seven times in the league, and in those 17 games, he scored a total of 37 goals for the team!
Such data, even if it is the peak Messi Ronaldo, is nothing more than that.
Therefore, when Inzaghi thought in the form of a "rhetorical question" that no one other than Zhang Shujie could win the goal award from Ronaldo and Messi, Shen Hao first complained about Li Muming.
If you feel that just these unnatural goal statistics are not completely convincing to the public, then Li Mu's league, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the season last season, plus his league top scorer (43 goals), Champions League top scorer (14 goals), Champions League final MVP, Premier League best player, European best player and other honors last season, can Li Mu compete for this year's Golden Ball Award?
The answer is: he has a great chance of becoming this year's Mr. Golden Globe!
