The hall was full of people, and Chen Hui sat in the middle, waiting for the head coaches of both sides to come out. The first to come out was Maurizio Sarri, and after he sat down, he said directly: "I have nothing to say, we lost, we lost completely, but I don't think there is any shame, AC Milan is very strong, they have Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, I think there are few people in Serie A and even the whole of Europe today can stop them." I congratulate AC Milan, I'm done. ”

Sarri got up and left, and he could see that he was uncomfortable. It's also difficult for him, being beaten by his opponent in a humiliating 4-1 on his own turf, even if he is replaced by another manager, it is not comfortable.

Now that Maurizio Sarri has left, the Q&A session cannot take place. Then Inzaghi walked out, sat on the stage with a smile on his face and said: "It's nice to get a big win at the Sao Paulo Stadium, Napoli is not an easy team to play against, they have always been very strong, but our two goals in the first half laid the foundation for the victory, and everyone in the team played well. ”

A reporter asked, "Then who do you think performs the best?" ”

Inzaghi thought for a while and said: "This question is difficult to answer, if I really have to make a choice, I think I will choose between Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, as for the specific choice, I won't say it myself, or leave it to the media to choose." ”

Chen Hui stood up and said: "Mr. Inzaghi, Napoli has been one of the Serie A championship teams in recent years, and today you defeated them 4:1, do you think your team has enough strength to lift the league championship trophy this year?" ”

Inzaghi glanced at Chen Hui and said: "It's too early to say that we won the championship, and our opponents are not only Napoli, but also Juventus, Roma, Lazio and other teams. All I can say is that we are more competitive this year than last year! We will also do our best for the championship! ”

**********************

The next day, the "Milan Sports Newspaper" scored the players out, and Zhang Shujie got an astonishing 10 points! It was also the highest score on the court, followed by Chen Zihua's 9 points, and then Suso's 8.5 points. "Mi Ti" said: "Zhang Shujie is so perfect, he has five shots on goal in the whole game, three goals, two solo clearances also created chances, he is one of the strongest strikers in football today!" Chen Zihua played the role of playmaker in midfield, and his creativity can be seen in two direct assists and two indirect assists, and he has been involved in every attack of AC Milan, from the front to the back. The young Suso lived up to expectations, assisting Zhang Shujie to score the first goal and scoring the last goal himself. ”

Chen Hui wrote in the "Sports Weekly": "A hearty victory, AC Milan showed flawlessness in attack, especially the combination of Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, Napoli continued to explore how to defend the two of them throughout the game, but did not get the desired effect for the whole 90 minutes, and could only accept the score of 1:4." In addition, Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua each hit the goalpost, otherwise Napoli might have lost even more, and I want to say that Chen Zihua's 70 million is really worth it, at least from the perspective of this game. ”

Li Yonghong also praised the team's performance: "I am very satisfied and happy, and I hope that Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua can continue to lead AC Milan forward and work hard for the championship." ”

After this game, Inzaghi gave the whole team a day off, and Zhang Shujie also accompanied Wang Shihan for a day. The two went to the theme restaurant to have a look, everything was normal, but they met a lot of fans, Zhang Shujie gave them autographs, group photos, and came back a lot later than expected. After that, Zhang Shujie will return to China to participate in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia (Note (1)).

On September 1, the summer transfer window officially closed, but just a week before the closure, there were several news from Chinese football, starting with the two Chinese players Liu Jianwei and Xiao Feng who were newly paid by Feng Kai at the beginning of the year, Feng Kai operated Liu Jianwei to go to Glasgow Rangers in the Soviet Super League, and four days later, the latter went to Groningen in the Eredivisie for a transfer fee of 3 million euros and 3.5 million euros respectively. The news did not have a great response in China, and with so many Chinese players playing in the big clubs before, these teams could not arouse the interest of Chinese fans.

However, on August 31, Feng Kai made another major transfer: Manchester City announced that Xu Ziyi would transfer from Chelsea to Manchester City for 60 million pounds (68 million euros contract), with an annual salary of 8.5 million pounds. It should be said that this transfer is not unexpected, Xu Ziyi's conflict with Chelsea is not a day or two, and Manchester City's preference for Xu Ziyi is not a day or two, and his arrival at the Etihad from Stamford Bridge is basically expected.

Li Mu has kept him many times, but Xu Ziyi has made up his mind, and Li Mu can only wish him: "I hope he can be happy in Manchester City, but as the most direct competitor in the Premier League, I also hope that he can't help Manchester City win the championship." ”

Ma Junqiang and Liang Xiran welcomed his arrival very much, and also expressed it publicly. It's just strange that Xu Ziyi's contract with Manchester City is only three years, which is also Xu Ziyi's own request, Manchester City is one of the giants in today's football Yes, but the historical background is a little worse, and Manchester City's fellow local tycoons Chelsea have won the Champions League, and Manchester City is still one step away. Xu Ziyi, out of many considerations, decided not to sign a long-term contract first to see the after-effects.

Xu Ziyi's transfer fee is a little lower than expected, the key is that Xu Ziyi wants to leave, even if he turns his face with Chelsea, the team can't sell it at too high a price; Secondly, on the issue of the household registration book, it is not that Xu Ziyi of the United Kingdom can sell it for 60 million pounds, which is actually not low.

Milan's transfer operation was completed three days ago, except for Chen Zihua's 70 million euros, the rest of the transfers have not exceeded 10 million, and the most expensive is Lapadula's 9 million euros. AC Milan bought or loaned a total of eight players this summer, costing nearly 100 million euros, but if you don't count the 70 million, the remaining seven players have a total of less than 30 million, which is a bit embarrassing.

But Li Yonghong also has his own difficulties, he needs to make a balance for the team, after the introduction of Chen Zihua, where can Milan find someone who can be worthy of his value? The answer is yes, such as Zhang Shujie, but Milan will not sell it.

But don't think that Milan relies on such two or three people to fight the world, the team of Suso, Bonaventura, Romagnoli, including Baca are good, if Zhang Shujie - Chen Zihua - Yan Tao is considered to be Milan's offensive and defensive axis, then these four players are the wingmen around them, is a very powerful auxiliary player, as long as Zhang Shujie and the three play normally, Milan can not only compete for the league championship, but also compete for the Champions League trophy!

Also on this day, the top 12 of the Russian World Cup Asian qualifiers started, which is also the third stage of the world preliminaries, due to the rules, the Chinese team does not have to participate in the first stage of the competition, directly from the second stage of the top 40, in this stage of the game, the players who played in Europe were not recruited back by An Rong, because the strength of the top 40 opponents is not strong, An Rong feels that there is no need to toss them so much.

At that time, the opponents of the Chinese team were Bhutan, Maldives, Hong Kong, China and Qatar, in the face of these four teams, even if all domestic players could deal with it, only Qatar could create a little threat to the Chinese team, and finally the Chinese team entered the top 12 with a record of three wins, two draws and one loss.

Although the Chinese team passed the second stage of the test, but this team has also been scolded a lot, especially when the two rounds were tied with Hong Kong 0:0, the scolding is even more serious, many people think, is it necessary for Zhang Shujie and Li Mu to return to the team, the Chinese team can defeat even a weak team like Hong Kong?

During that time, An Rong was also under a lot of pressure, and he wanted to recruit a few midfielders from the World Cup several times, but finally gave up such an idea. Fortunately, the chairman of the Football Association is Guo Fan, if he were someone else, he would have been interviewed with a report card of only two draws against Hong Kong at home and away.

Fortunately, now that everything has passed, An Rong has finally crossed this hurdle, and the top 12 An Rong did not dare to be careless, he decided to use the strongest lineup to participate! As a result, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Zhao Wenkang, Xu Zhixin, Liang Xiran, Yan Tao, Tang Ling, Huang Yu, Ma Junqiang and other eleven main players all returned to the team before September 1!

Note (1): The story does not write about the Chinese team's game in the top 40, those teams are too weak, and I don't plan to rely on those teams to make up the number of words. The top 12 will not be written like the 2014 World Preliminaries, after all, in this story, the current Chinese team is too strong, so strong that there is no opponent in Asia!
