The first 30 minutes of the game went normally, with United's attack having shots on goal but failing to score, and AC Milan's counter-attack also hit the Reds' penalty area, but it didn't find the back of the net.

The biggest threat to United was of course Milan's number one star Shujie Zhang, who made four successful attempts in those 30 minutes, both of which were on target and he also set up two yellow cards, with Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw both receiving rubies for fouls on Zhang.

"Manchester United's backline doesn't seem to have a good defensive strategy against Zhang Shujie, and both Luke Shaw and Rojo seem a little weak against Zhang Shujie. If it goes on like this, Zhang Shujie will score goals sooner or later, even if he doesn't score, he can help his teammates score. ”

In the thirty-fourth minute of the game, Zhang Shujie got the ball in front, he first shook off Pogba, and then broke through Rojo, and was about to rush into the penalty area, Luke Shaw came up from the side and back with a sliding tackle, at this time Zhang Shujie had already knocked the ball forward, and Luke Shaw's tackle also hit Zhang Shujie's ankle solidly.

Suddenly, Zhang Shujie rolled in the air and fell heavily to the ground. The referee's whistle blew and he didn't think twice about it, running straight in front of Luke Shaw and picking out a red card.

And his behavior also completely angered the Milan players, and the tackle behind the back was clearly aimed at people. Chen Zihua stepped forward and pushed Luke Shaw, pointed at his nose and scolded, "Are you fucking playing football or kicking people?"

Yan Tao also ran up, grabbed Luke Shaw's collar, and scolded in his mouth: "If you kid really want to fight, Lao Tzu and you will fight alone after the game!"

The Manchester United players saw that the situation was not right, and immediately came up to dissuade them, the AC Milan players still gathered around Luke Shaw, and some players ran to check Zhang Shujie's injury, Xu Ziyi squatted on the ground and patted Zhang Shujie: "How do you feel?"

Zhang Shujie didn't speak, just frowned and shook his head.

The referee forcibly separated the players of the two teams, and Luke Shaw also hurried to the sidelines, he was afraid that he would be beaten up if he walked slowly. The referee has signaled for AC Milan's team doctor to hurry up and come on the pitch. Inzaghi put his hands on his waist on the sidelines, looking nervously at Zhang Shujie who fell to the ground.

Yan Tao still relentlessly wanted to trouble Luke Shaw, he grabbed Luke Shaw and didn't let him leave the field so early, looking like he wanted to duel. Many players are pulling him, but they can't pull him, even Pogba's size can't stop him. The referee had no choice but to give Yan Tao a yellow card, and Yan Tao restrained a little this time. At this time, AC Milan's team doctor had already carried Zhang Shujie on a stretcher and was ready to go off the field for treatment.

"If you look at it this way, Zhang Shujie's injury is not light, Milan fans must be very worried now, AC Milan is currently in the Champions League sprint stage, if Zhang Shujie's injury is really serious, then this blow will be too big for them. ”

Cutrone on the side was already warming up, and the team doctor carried Zhang Shujie not to the bench, but went directly to the infirmary for treatment. Inzaghi is even more annoyed, usually this situation is the "treatment" of players with more serious injuries.

Chen Hui was also worried, he watched Zhang Shujie slowly disappear into the players' tunnel, and for a while he wanted to delete all the recorded news materials - when is there anything more important than Zhang Shujie's injury?

Cutrone soon replaced Zhang Shu, and the Reds were one man less, even at home, with only 10 men on the pitch giving them little advantage, especially since they were still 2-0 down on aggregate.

The two sides drew 0-0 in the first half, and after the start of the second half, Inzaghi has been a little absent-minded, he called the team doctor to determine Zhang Shujie's injury, and the team doctor replied: preliminary diagnosis, may need to rest for about a month.

This means that even if AC Milan enters the semi-finals, Zhang Shujie will not be able to play, and he may miss all the remaining games of the season!

Inzaghi was so angry that she almost smashed her phone. He scolded Luke Shaw thousands of times in his heart, and he could guess that the biggest news in world football this week was not who made it to the semi-finals, let alone who scored a few goals, but Zhang Shujie's injury.

In the past five years, Zhang Shujie has occasionally suffered minor injuries, but most of the time he recovers in about a week. The biggest impact was in the Champions League final two years ago, when Inzaghi was unable to play due to injury, which directly led to Milan losing the Champions League title. Now he has to recuperate for another month, what will AC Milan do? I thought that Inzaghi had booked a rotation plan at the beginning of the season, just to protect Zhang Shujie, but I didn't expect that Zhang Shujie was forced to take a break due to a malicious foul by the opponent.

Substitute Cutrone lived up to the promise, scoring a goal in the 67th minute of the game to make it 1-0 and 3-0 on aggregate, and now it is almost certain that AC Milan have advanced to the last four. Even if Pogba made it 1-1 in the 82nd minute, it didn't do anything practical other than to add to his personal goal account.

The two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw, with AC Milan knocking out Manchester United 3-1 on aggregate to advance to the last four. But Inzaghi was not happy at all, all he was thinking about was Zhang Shujie's injury, and he really hoped that the team doctor had misdiagnosed Zhang Shujie and that Zhang Shujie was not so serious.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Mourinho said: "It's a shame we didn't make it to the last four, but we all know that Manchester United are in the midst of a resurgence, so this quarter-final place is a big improvement for the team, and we still lost to AC Milan, so I don't think we're ashamed. ”

Chen Hui asked him about Zhang Shujie's injury, and he said: "I feel sorry for Zhang Shujie, maybe tomorrow the headlines of the major news will write headlines such as Zhang Shujie's injury, and the AC Milan players will definitely blame Luke Shaw." But football is like that, there are always injuries and Luke Shaw has been punished as he deserves. ”

Apparently Mourinho has not talked too much about this issue, mainly because he protects Luke Shaw. No matter how unsatisfactory his players' performances are, the manager rarely mentions it to reporters in public, and if there is anything to say, people can say it in the dressing room or in private.

But Inzaghi was different, he was very angry and said: "I know there are a lot of congratulations on getting to the last four, yes, it should be a good thing, but I'm in a very bad mood right now. I don't think I need to say why, but I think I should congratulate Manchester United, especially Luke Shaw! Don't get me wrong, I'm not congratulating him on his red card, but on his foul that ended a nightmare across Europe!"
