"Now AC Milan is the first goal at the Etihad Stadium, and the scorer is Zhang Shujie, which is also Zhang Shujie's eighth Champions League goal this season, surpassing Suarez and Lewandowski, and temporarily ranking second in the scorer list, second only to Ronaldo. ”

AC Milan have taken the initiative for the time being, and this double round-robin format is very beneficial for the team to be able to take the lead on the road. The backward Manchester City did not panic too much, Pellegrini began to deploy troops, Pellegrini removed Fernando, replaced Iheanacho, the striker changed the midfield, it is obvious that Manchester City will focus on attack.

Inzaghi continued to maintain the team's balance at both ends of the pitch, only asking Zhang Shujie to drop back a little more and take more care of the midfield. According to Inzaghi's thinking, even if this 1-0 is kept until the end of the game, it is completely acceptable.

Manuel Pellegrini couldn't accept it, and neither could the players and fans of Manchester City. Under the shouts of tens of thousands of fans, the players were more offensive than before, but in this way, the emptiness of the backfield also left Zhang Shujie space to sprint, and as a last resort, Manchester City's back line could only block him by fouling, Kompany, Liang Xiran, and Fernandio were all saddled with yellow cards, all of which were made by Zhang Shujie.

In the 68th minute of the game, Manchester City's onslaught finally got the result he wanted: Aguero's shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Yan Tao with his body, De Bruyne followed up to make a follow-up shot, Donnarumma tried his best to save, but the ball was too close to the goal, even though Donnarumma, who is 1.97 meters tall, had long arms, but still couldn't save the ball, De Bruyne equalized for Manchester City.

Just after Kevin De Bruyne's goal, AC Milan and Manchester City made changes at the same time, with AC Milan bringing on a young Suso for the underperforming Bertoracci and Manchester City bringing on Raheem Sterling for Keylori Navas.

Born in Spain in November 1993, Suso is under 22 years old and has not played much minutes due to his youth and injury this season. This player is still very powerful, and Zhang Shujie is more optimistic about him.

After Suso came on the court, he behaved very positively and passed two good balls to Zhang Shujie, but these two times they were a little bigger, and Zhang Shujie couldn't get the ball.

In the 75th minute, Yan Tao assisted Zhang Shujie to score a goal, but it was ruled offside and the goal was cancelled. Inzaghi made another substitution, replacing Desiglio with Antonelli and replacing defenders to continue to maintain the balance of the lineup.

The score of 1:1 did not last long, in the 78th minute of the game, Manchester City got a corner kick opportunity, De Bruyne drove to the penalty area, Fernandio rubbed in front of the point, so that Donnarumma, who was about to pick up the ball, failed to catch the ball, and Aguero at the back point poked the ball in front of the goal, stabbed the ball into the empty goal, and the score became 2:1!

Manchester City finally took the lead at home, and the fans at the Etihad Stadium also exploded, but in the little time left, although a 2-1 score may guarantee a home win for Manchester City, it does not guarantee that they can advance to the last four 100%, and after the San Siro, AC Milan only need a 1:0 to eliminate them by virtue of away goals.

Therefore, Manchester City was still attacking, and Inzaghi changed his tactics at this time, enabling the last substitution, he replaced Baca with Mex, the formation became 541, and he entered the defensive phase in an all-round way, and he even asked Zhang Shujie to withdraw half time to help the midfield defend.

In the end, Manchester City were unable to extend their lead and AC Milan did not score again, as Manchester City won 2-1 at home to AC Milan. However, AC Milan scored a valuable away goal, and judging from the schedule, such a score is even more favorable for AC Milan.

The four Chinese players exchanged jerseys after the game, they were enemies on the field, and off the field, their friendship was still there.

In the other two games, Bayern Munich drew 2-2 away at Juventus and got a more favorable situation, Barcelona won 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid, like Manchester City, Barcelona's situation may not be good, and at the Calderon Stadium, there will be a tough battle.

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

On April 10, the 32nd round of Serie A begins, and AC Milan will host the most formidable opponent in Serie A - Juventus!

The managers of both teams were a little nervous, and the two sides played 2:2 in the last round, with Zhang Shujie scoring twice. Today, the two teams meet again, and they are bound to come out separately.

The focus of this game is not only the ownership of the title, but also whether Zhang Shujie can equal or break Nodal's scoring record, who is now only one goal away from Nodal.

After the start of the game, the two sides played very cautiously, this kind of game may be more exciting than the Champions League knockout round, after all, there are two rounds, as long as the first leg is not a big loss, the second leg has the possibility of a turnaround, but now it is different, if anyone loses, it is basically impossible to save the situation.

In the first fifteen minutes, both sides did not have a single shot on goal, and the forwards of both teams did not get too many good chances up front. The commentator said: "Juventus and AC Milan are both very conservative and they can't be blamed for that, except to say that this game is too crucial and neither side is willing to take any risks. If you lose, it will be more difficult to establish a points advantage. ”

The two sides either went back and forth, or fought in the midfield, in short, they couldn't let the opponent attack their own backfield. Juventus' midfield was superior, AC Milan's midfield suffered a little more, and after resisting for 20 minutes, Juventus still managed to hit AC Milan's back defensive area.

The young Dybala broke through Montolivo and played the ball to Mandzukic, who set up Romagnoli in the box, picked up his left leg and fired a fierce shot with plenty of power, but it was a little higher and the ball flew off the crossbar.

It was the first shot on goal from both sides so far, and the on-site commentator laughed: "After waiting for 20 minutes, I finally waited for the first goal of the game." It's true that the course of the game is not exciting, but in a game like this, it's always about defending and thinking about scoring when you don't concede a goal. ”

The ball is now passed to Zhang Shujie's feet, and he has not taken the ball many times in the past 20 minutes, which is also related to the team's style of play. Zhang Shujie knew that both teams were using tentative play at this time, mainly because the ball had not yet scored. If whoever scores first, the rhythm of the game will soon be brought out.
