It is now the 50th minute of the game, and Zheng Zhi comes on as a substitute.
All Milan fans stared with wide eyes, expecting the Chinese captain to create miracles for the team.
After Ibrahimovic was firmly restricted, Zheng Zhi, who came on as a substitute, also attracted much attention.
In the following period, Cassano became the most active player in the frontcourt.
He is a player with outstanding personal abilities. Now that he does not need to cooperate with his teammates and purely needs to use his personal skills to seek breakthroughs, it has stimulated his greatest potential.
"Cassano knocked down Paletta, and he took a long shot from the edge of the penalty area! Pavarini rubbed the ball with his fingertips and almost lost the ball!"
"It was Cassano's pass in the penalty area again. His bicycle staggered away the defense! He volleyed into the near corner! The ball hit the goal post. AC Milan missed an excellent scoring opportunity!"
Although Cassano just said to pass the ball to Zheng Zhi, he continued to play alone without any intention of passing the ball.
In this case, the defense around Zheng Zhi also relaxed a lot, and the Parma players focused all their attention on the very active Cassano and the biggest potential threat Ibrahimovic.
In the 66th minute of the game, Cassano got another chance.
This time he was facing off against Lucarelli and Jonathan, and actually passed between them!
At this time, other defensive players quickly stepped up, but Cassano had no chance to shoot.
Goalkeeper Pavarini also blocked the near corner, preventing Cassano from having another chance to score.
Zaccardo, who was at the back, was also close to Ibrahimovic, preventing the Swedish tower from having the possibility of catching the ball.
At this moment, Cassano passed the ball!
The ball reached the top of the penalty area and Zheng Zhi jumped in at high speed!
He shoots directly and without hesitation!
The ball actually chose the near corner?
The ball went in! ! !
The moment Cassano passed the ball, Parma goalkeeper Pavarini was shocked! He quickly moved from the near corner to the far corner, guessing that Zheng Zhi would definitely hit him in the opposite corner.
But he guessed wrong.
Zheng Zhi expected that the gap on the left side was relatively large and the goalkeeper would definitely move his body in advance, so he did the opposite and chose to hit the near corner!
The ball was not very tricky and went straight to the near corner, but Pavarini's center of gravity had already moved and he had no time to turn around. He could only watch the ball hit the net.
1 to 2! AC Milan got a goal back!
Cassano, who was closest, rushed into the net and ran toward the center circle with the ball in his arms. When he passed by Zheng Zhi, he gave Zheng Zhi a hard hammer.
"We hope you will win this game! We really deserve you!"
Near the center circle, Ibrahimovic also patted Zheng Zhi beside him, with a look of approval on his face.
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly. He did not celebrate wildly. He just waved in the direction of the stands, responded to the fans' applause, and then stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.
The game continues.
This goal completely kicked off AC Milan's counterattack.
The difference between two goals behind is huge, but the difference between one goal behind is minuscule.
There are still 20 minutes left before the end of the game. As long as AC Milan continues to play like this, they will definitely be able to score again.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of AC Milan, Parma began to retreat on a large scale. Except for Pelle who stayed on the front line, everyone else retreated into their own half, trying to hold on to this one-goal advantage. .
In the 73rd minute of the game, Allegri made another substitution adjustment. He replaced midfielders Van Bommel and Aquilani, and replaced them with Ambrosini and veteran Seedorf to continue to strengthen the attack. .
After the two came on the court, they had an immediate effect.
During a midfield scramble, Ambrosini attracted two defenders, and Seedorf suddenly moved forward. With the three forwards attracting most of the attention, he got the opportunity to kick in the penalty area!
Faced with the threat of losing the ball, Parma defender Modesto had no choice but to pull Seedorf down. He received a red card and gave AC Milan a free kick in front of the penalty area.
Standing in front of the ball, Ibrahimovic and Cassano are both masters of free kicks. They each scored direct free kicks last season.
Today, they gave the free kick to Zheng Zhi.
Standing in front of the ball, Zheng Zhi took a run-up and then hit the goal hard! The ball penetrated the wall, passed through the gap, and went straight into the blind corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Pavarini had no reaction at all!
2 to 2! AC Milan finally equalized the score!
Zheng Zhi's brace helped the Rossoneri equalize the score!
After scoring an important goal to equalize the game, the fans in the stands cheered, and Ibrahimovic and Cassano also rushed towards Zheng Zhi excitedly.
But Zheng Zhi didn't celebrate. He rushed into the net and ran quickly towards the center circle with the ball in his arms.
An equalizer is just the beginning, overtaking is the goal!
At this time, the fans in the audience were even more excited, applauding and cheering continuously, all of which were dedicated to this new Chinese aid.
Standing on the sidelines at this time, Allegri frowned and was quite touched.
Just because of Zheng Zhi's unwillingness to admit defeat, he deserves a main position!
With ten minutes left before the end of the game, AC Milan equalized the score, and the opponent also sent off one person. Now they have a dual advantage both physically and mentally.
The whole Parma team also knew that something was wrong. They did not try to take the lead again, but retreated conservatively, preparing to defend the tie and get a point.
Under the fierce attack of the AC Milan team, Parma's goal was never broken again.
The red-and-black players failed to create opportunities with headers and powerful long-range shots; Parma was also cautious and did not give their opponents any free kick opportunities.
Now the game has reached the 91st minute, and the two minutes of stoppage time are coming soon.
At this time, Cassano stood up again!
His continuous shaking in the penalty area forced the opponent to take a reckless shot and caused a foul!
Penalty kick! The referee gave AC Milan a penalty kick!
All Milan players and fans gave high fives and celebrated, victory is in sight!
The team's first penalty taker was Ibrahimovic. The ball was in his hands. He thought for a moment and walked towards Zheng Zhi.
"Here's the ball for you, man."
Zheng Zhi was stunned: "You are the first penalty kicker. You have the highest scoring rate in training, so you should do it."
"I'm in average condition today, but your scoring luck is better, I give it to you!" Ibrahimovic looked at Zheng Zhi and smiled slightly, "And for you, you have a hat-trick in your first game wearing a Milan jersey. Isn't magic a very exciting thing?"
Cassano patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be polite, you will take the penalty on this ball, hurry up."
Players from both sides exited the penalty area. Zheng Zhi put down the ball and retreated slowly.
He looked up at the opponent's goalkeeper Pavarini, who waved his fist in an exaggerated manner, trying to interfere with Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi was expressionless and looked at him coldly.
The referee's whistle sounds!
Zheng Zhi takes a run-up and shoots hard!
The ball went in! ! ! ! ! !
