At the beginning of the 2024/2025 season, AC Milan is still talking to Paris Saint-Germain about the transfer of Mbappe, Paris has relaxed a little on the issue of transfer fees, agreeing to reduce it from 250 million to 230 million, and AC Milan said that it will give up to 200 million. There are still 20 days left before the transfer market closes, and it is unknown whether Mbappe will be able to come to Milan as he wishes.

Zhang Shujie and others are not in the mood to pay attention to those things, they met Inter Milan in the first round of the league, this city derby is very eye-catching at any time, AC Milan is playing at home, the first half of the two teams played 0:0, in the second half, Inter Milan's new king Icardi took the lead in the 61st minute to break the deadlock, but only four minutes later, Zhang Shujie equalized. Ten minutes later, Icardi again put the score on top, and three minutes before the end, Zhang Shujie's long-range shot from outside the box equalised for the Rossoneri again, and the score remained 2-2 until full-time.

Neither side would like to see the result of this game, especially AC Milan, who are their home stadium but failed to win against Inter. However, Zhang Shujie and Icardi were both named the best of the match, and the two stars who scored twice in the game deserved the MVP title of the game.

In the second round of the league, AC Milan faced Palermo away, and although it was played on someone else's turf, AC Milan beat Palermo 3-0 away with goals from Zhang Shujie, Locatelli and Calabria to achieve their first win of the season.

With less than a week to go before the transfer market closes, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain do not seem to be making much progress in the negotiations over Mbappe, although Mbappe has expressed his willingness to go to Milan, but PSG has not further relaxed on the transfer fee of 230 million euros. Just when many people thought that Mbappe would not be able to come to Milan, AC Milan suddenly announced that Mbappe had joined Milan for a transfer fee of 220 million euros less than 24 hours after the transfer market was closed.

The news came a little suddenly, and when the outside world was still speculating whether it was gossip, the official websites of Milan and Paris Saint-Germain published the transfer news at the same time to confirm that Mbappe had indeed arrived at AC Milan. In the Rossoneri, Mbappe will wear the number 7 shirt, the number left behind by Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko.

When Mbappe arrived at the San Siro stadium, he was welcomed by tens of thousands of fans. As a superstar of the year, Mbappe has not only become the first brother of the French team, but also a strong contender for the future Ballon d'Or. He said: "It's a pleasure to be here at AC Milan and it's an honour to play alongside a great player like Zhang Shujie and I hope to have more success here. ”

And Zhang Shujie also publicly expressed his welcome to Mbappe: "Welcome to your arrival, I believe you can make us stronger!"

Although Mbappe has arrived at the San Siro, he still has to wait for the results of the medical examination, so he will not be able to play in the third round of AC Milan's match with Benevento, but Benevento is not strong, and there is no problem without Mbappe AC Milan winning.

AC Milan, playing at home, relied on goals from Chen Zihua and Romagnoli to beat Benevento 2-0, and after three rounds of matches, the Rossoneri won two and drew one to accumulate seven points, temporarily ranking third in the league by goal difference.

AC Milan will play in the Champions League in midweek, against Premier League giants Liverpool, Mbappe's medical results are also out, there are no abnormalities, he officially joined the team in training.

It's just that his training time with his teammates is still a little shorter, Inzaghi has no plans to arrange him to start in the Champions League match with Liverpool for the time being, and Mbappe also accepts Inzaghi's arrangement without complaints.

In this Champions League group stage, AC Milan, who was fighting away, was assisted by Zhang Shujie and Xu Ziyi to break the deadlock on the field, but Liverpool relied on the momentum of the home field and fought back very strongly, and AC Milan almost couldn't parry. In the 60th minute of the second half, Inzaghi replaced Vazquez with Mbappe as a right winger. Mbappe had an immediate effect on Milan from the start, and his breakthrough on the flanks made Liverpool very uncomfortable. Especially on the counter-attack, Liverpool's return speed could not keep up with his pace, and in the 67th minute, his shot almost helped Milan extend the score, and if it wasn't for the help of the crossbar, the score would have been 2:0 by now.

Mbappe's efforts quickly paid off, and in the 73rd minute, after a successful break down the right flank, he crossed back to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie grabbed the penalty in front of the goal, and swept a left-footed shot to knock Liverpool open. The goal extinguished Liverpool's hopes of an equaliser and a comeback, and in the end, AC Milan beat the Reds 2-0 away to win their first Champions League game of the new season.

Mbappe's excellent performance made Inzaghi full of praise: "I'm sure everyone has seen that Mbappe played too well for Liverpool's defence to stop him. Although it was only thirty minutes, he proved his worth. ”

"Milan Sports Newspaper" also said: "Mbappe's assist made Zhang Shujie's goal, he performed very well, Zhang Shujie got a good assistant." Milan remain the favourites for the league and Champions League this season. ”

In the face of these compliments, Mbappe appeared very sober, saying: "In Milan, Zhang Shujie is the best player, he is the king here. Obviously, Mbappe has no intention of competing for favor with Zhang Shujie, he just wants to get more honors.

In the fourth round of the league, AC Milan visited the Stadio Franchi to take on Fiorentina, and Mbappe was finally able to enter the starting line-up, and the French star scored his first goal for AC Milan in less than 15 minutes.

From Zhang Shujie's cross, Milan's No. 9 burst into the edge of the box with the ball and rubbed the ball to Mbappe with the outside of his right foot, who lived up to expectations and took the lead for Milan.

The first half ended with AC Milan 1-0 Fiorentina, and in the second half, Mbappe had two consecutive shots saved by the opposing goalkeeper. In the 65th minute, Mbappe and Chen Zihua made a delicate cooperation on the right side, and finally Chen Zihua passed the ball with a clever wipe near the bottom line, and then knocked the ball to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, 2:0! Ten minutes later, Zhang Shujie's shot was blocked by the opponent's defender, and Conte, who entered the penalty area, shot in front of the goal, turning the score into 3:0!

At the end of this round of league games, AC Milan have moved up one place to second in the table. The number one is not Juventus, but Inter Milan. At present, Juventus have a mediocre record, with only two draws in two consecutive games, and are temporarily in fourth place in the standings.
