After returning to the league, AC Milan played Sassuolo away, Zhang Shujie made two passes and one shot, Xu Ziyi, Kalinic, Calhanoglu, and Suso scored respectively, and AC Milan swept Sassuolo 6:0.

After this round, the major leagues are temporarily suspended, and the national team competition will be ushered in, players from all over the world are also fighting for the country, most of China's national players have not joined the team, the World Preliminary Tournament in Asia has ended, and the current international A-level competition is not of great practical significance to An Rong, but he can be used for training.

The opponent of the Chinese team is Iran, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Yan Tao, Tang Ling, Zhao Wenkang, these six players have not been called by An Rong, only Huang Yu, Ma Junqiang, Xu Zhixin and Liang Xiran four people entered the team, and the other positions are all substitute players.

Even so, the strength of the back line has not been greatly reduced The Chinese team held Iran's offensive, in the sixty-eighth minute of the second half, the Chinese team played a wave of counterattacks, Xu Zhixin relied on speed to rush to the Iranian backfield and passed to Lin Li, Lin Li's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Liu Jianwei followed up with the shot, and the Chinese team led 1:0.

This is Liu Jianwei's 15th goal for the Chinese national team, less than half of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, which also has a lot to do with his inability to play the main force, and even Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi The two midfielders have more goals than him, of which Chen Zihua scored 18 goals in 54 games, and Xu Ziyi scored 20 goals in 60 games.

Liu Jianwei is a little out of time, he is 27 years old and he is still a regular visitor to the national team, but in major games, he can only sit on the bench, Wu Xiao is the same, fortunately, Wu Xiao can still play in the midfield, and he will play more time than Liu Jianwei, as well as Lin Li, at the age of twenty-two, he will theoretically get more opportunities than Liu Jianwei in the coming days, but this also depends on how long Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are at their peak.

Liu Jianwei's goal was the only goal of the game as China won against Iran. This training is still quite satisfying, and the offensive line composed of multiple substitutes is enough to deal with Asian teams.

There are many reporters outside the training ground, most of whom are paying attention to Zhang Shujie, who has scored in seven consecutive games in the league, and whether he can score in the eighth game is a matter of concern to the media. Chen Hui believes that the possibility of him continuing to score goals is very high, and he has been in too good form lately, and his feet are hot.

Napoli scored first on the day of the game, with Hamsik breaking the deadlock in the 24th minute with a long-range strike, the second time Napoli had scored in the game, and was a little more efficient than AC Milan with four shots. However, with less than a third of the game played, no one can guess what will happen next, especially with AC Milan being so strong, it is common for them to turn defeat into victory.

In the first half, Napoli led 1:0, in the second half, AC Milan strengthened the attack, in the 61st minute, Chen Zihua tried to shoot with his left foot on the right side of the penalty area, breaking through Reina's ten fingers; six minutes later, he assisted Zhang Shujie to score a goal, but unfortunately betrayed offside, the goal was invalid, which made him a little depressed.

But it didn't take long for him to pick up his mood when Chen Zihua swung in a free-kick and Zhang Shujie slotted home from the far post with his left foot to put AC Milan in the lead, and he also scored in his eighth consecutive league game and his 16th league goal of the season, two more than second-placed Dybala.

In the end, AC Milan won 2-1 to open up the gap with Napoli, coincidentally, Juventus failed to win away against Sampdoria in this round, the two sides drew 0-0, and they are also two points behind AC Milan in the standings.

In the first leg, the two teams played a big game, but the score was 3:3, AC Milan drew Barcelona at the Camp Nou, and this time, both teams came for victory, Zhang Shujie and Messi duel again.

After the start of the game, Barcelona was the first to get the chance to shoot, and the player who shot was their top player: Leo Messi! The Argentine king shook off Yan Tao and Bonucci on the right flank, and then shot with his left foot, the angle was very tricky, but Donnarumma was well prepared and flew to save the ball.

This is the San Siro Stadium, Barcelona dared to oppose the guest, AC Milan of course did not agree, just in the sixth minute after Messi completed the shot, Zhang Shujie also got the opportunity, the position and way of the shot are almost identical, the same on the right side, the same shook Barcelona Pique and Mascherano, with a left foot to hit the goal, the angle is very tricky, the power is very strong, Ter Stegen flew to save the ball from the bottom line.

"Soon after the opening, the first brother of the two teams gave each other a dismount, and it looks like this game will be very good. ”

Although the team that shot first was Barcelona, but the first to score was AC Milan at home, a textbook counterattack, Zhang Shujie attracted the opponent's three defenders with the ball, and when he reached the top of the arc of the penalty area, he gave the ball to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua took a step and pushed the far corner with his right foot, the ball slipped past the fallen Ter Stegen, and rolled into the goal against the goalpost, AC Milan led 1:0 at home!

It was the 31st minute of the first half, and Chen Zihua used his second Champions League goal to give Milan the lead in the score. After the goal, AC Milan did a good job of defense, and under the leadership of Yan Tao, stabilized the backfield, and did not give Barcelona a chance to score until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Barcelona, desperate to salvage the defeat, attacked aggressively, leaving a lot of space at the back, and AC Milan continued to create counter-attacks, seeking to extend the score, and if it wasn't for Ter Stegen's excellent performance, Barcelona would have conceded two goals in the first 20 minutes of the second half.

But Ter Stegen couldn't keep going bravely, in the seventy-seventh minute of the game, AC Milan pressed all the way in the counterattack, Xu Ziyi's first pass to Silva did not pass, and was blocked back to Chen Zihua by Pique, Chen Zihua's heel made a ball to Yan Tao, Yan Tao pulled his foot on the penalty line and shot angrily, and the score became 2:0!
