Chapter 081 It's the second again

AC Milan drew 0-1 at home against Marseille in this game.

AC Milan won the first place in the group, taking the lead in the knockout match.

With this draw, Marseille also won the third place in the group and was able to stay in Europe and turn to the UEFA Cup.

However, the biggest focus of this game is not on the two teams.

But publicity.

"Come back from Zhang Yang!" This is the front page title of the Milan Sport. In the report, the media not only reviews Zhang Yang's contribution to Milan last season, but also cheers for Zhang Yang's achievements in Manchester City. At the same time, it does not forget to show the incomprehension and regret of the Milan club selling Zhang Yang.

The Marseille media used the title "Zhang Yang bless Marseille to stay in Europe" to express their love for Zhang Yang. The goal that equalized for Marseille was Zhang Yang's good friend Jahioi in Marseille. The midfielder broke into the penalty area and scored with a volley after shaking a number of Milan players in a row.

"Marsely Athlete" described Yashioi's goal as a 'prompous goal'.

Three days later, in the 17th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester City beat Everton 1-0 at home. Zhang Yang created a penalty, and Robinho hit it.

Another week later, in the 18th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester City played 8-2 West Bromwich Albion away. Zhang Yang scored a goal in the game and once helped Manchester City expand the score to 2-0. However, not long after the start of the second half of the game, Manchester City central defender Compani committed a foul in the penalty area and was sentenced to capital punishment by the referee, red cards and penalty kicks. West Bromwich Albion players put the penalty kick in, and the game lasted for more than 70 minutes. Ireland, who came on as a substitute, touched the ball in the penalty area and was sentenced to a penalty again.

West Bromwich Albion tenaciously equalized the score with two penalty kicks, and Manchester City once again exposed their lack of stability in the away game.

The Guardian also commented that if it hadn't been for Zhang Yang and Modric's goals, it would have helped Manchester City establish a two-goal lead, otherwise they would not even get a point. Of course, the media also pointed out that the referee's second penalty is somewhat controversial, because although Ireland has a handball, it is, more precisely, it is a hitter, not a handball, which is a passive handball. Strictly speaking, it is more correct not to judge a penalty.

After this game, people's focus was on the award of the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards.

Tout up OR Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be the winner of the 2008 European Golden Globe Award?!

Finally, the day after the match between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion, the 2008 European Footballer of the Year and Golden Globe Awards were officially announced, and Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United, defeated Zhang Yang by a narrow margin and won the championship.

In last year's Golden Globe Awards, Kaka was the winner, Zhang Yang ranked second, and Cristiano Ronaldo ranked third. However, this year, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to the winner, and Zhang Yang ranked second.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the European Golden Globe Award, which is also Cristiano Ronaldo who became the third Portuguese to win the Golden Ball after Eusibio in 1965 and Figo in 2000. It is also the third Portuguese to win the Golden Ball Award since Dennis Law in 1964 and Bobbi Charles in 1966. After Best in 1968, he is the fourth Manchester United player.

Zhang Yang's Golden Globe Award ranked second, while Barcelona's Argentine player Messi ranked third.

Liverpool's Spanish star Torres ranked fourth, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas ranked fifth, and last year's Golden Globe Award winner Kaka only ranked ninth.

In the vote of 96 journalists, 51 people took C. Ronaldo ranked first, while Kaka ranked him first last year by 78 reporters.

There are 43 reporters who gave the first pick to Zhang Yang.

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in Madeira, Portugal. In August 2003, Manchester United bought him from Sporting Lisbon for 12.24 million pounds and put on Beckham's No. 7 jersey, who had just transferred to Real Madrid that year. The 2007-08 season was C-Ronaldo's best season for Manchester United. He scored 42 goals for Manchester United in various competitions, including 31 goals in 34 Premier League games and 8 goals in the UEFA Champions League, winning the Premier League Golden Boot. Manchester United also won the Premier League and the Champions League. In the European Cup held in June, C. Ronaldo led Portugal to the quarter-finals, but lost to the runner-up Germany by 2-3. He scored a goal in the group match against the Czech Republic. Before winning the Golden Globe Award, he was selected as the 2008 FIFPro Footballer of the Year by the International Players Federation and won the 2008 World Footballer of the Year selected by fans around the world... In the competition for the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest opponent is Zhang Yang. Before the award was announced, people predicted that the competition between the two would be very fierce. The final result was not the same. Cristiano Ronaldo got fifty-one first pick, while Zhang Yang got forty-three first picks, but in the second Among the votes, Zhang Yang is slightly more than that of Cristiano Ronaldo, so the final result is that although Cristiano Ronaldo's total score is more than Zhang Yang, he is only five points ahead of Zhang Yang! With an extremely narrow advantage, he won the 2008 European Golden Globe Award!" - "French Team Newspaper

In this list, the Premier League and the Spanish national team became the big winners. A total of 11 players in the Premier League were voted by reporters, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhang Yang, Torres and Gerrard entered the top ten. Six people from Spain, the champion of the New European Cup, have entered the list of candidates for the Golden Globe Award. Among the top 10, Torres, Casillas, Harvey and Villa are on the list, and only the runner-up Germany is Barak. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Vidic and Van der Sar also voted in the final selection of the Golden Globe Awards with the double champions in the 2007-08 season.

In the league, Serie A does not have the glory of previous years. Last year's Golden Globe Award winner Kaka only ranked 9th, and there were only three players in Serie A. Although Real Madrid was selected by 5 of the 30-person candidate list, which is the club with the largest number of candidates, only Casillas entered the top ten in the end, relying on Spain winning the European Cup, while Pepe and Van der Fate did not get the vote of reporters, and Bayern's Toto scored 0 points with them. Ni, Zhirkov of the Central Asian Army in Moscow and Benzema in Lyon.

Speaking of the "zero-point family" in this selection, there are Tony, Pepe, Van der Fart, Zhirkov and Benzema, which has been smaller than in previous years. In this year's selection, "French Football" will reduce the list of candidates from 50 to 30 for the first time. At least the brothers who hung eggs like Raul and Beckham last year are no longer so dazzling. Of the five, Tony is the top scorer in the Bundesliga, and Zhirkov immediately scored in the European Cup. It is relatively surprising that they don't have any points.

There are also famous "losers" on the list. For example, Fabregas, as a member of the European championship team, is also a member of the Premier League. He ranks very low, and he is not as good as Aguero and Buffon, who lack both collective and personal honors, and his teammate Adebayor. The problem with Fabregas is that he is too low-key and lacks highlights in personal technical indicators, unlike Adebayor, who has scored 30 goals in a season. In addition, the media also generally believe that Arsenal is tired. Soft also dragged down Fabregas. In addition, he became the 12th player in the European Cup, which dragged down the future Golden Globe candidate to canvass for votes.

However, the media's most disconceivement was that Zhang Yang lost to Cristiano Ronaldo in the final score, and many media fought for Zhang Yang.

They listed the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang in the past season and after the start of the new season.

The final conclusion is that Zhang Yang's goal efficiency is 1.5 times that of Cristiano Ronaldo. The direct score Zhang Yang brings to the team, that is, the victory and peace game directly for the team, is also 1.6 times that of Cristiano Ronaldo, and in terms of his contribution to the team, Zhang Yang also has also Bic. Ristian Ronaldo is strong. The contribution mentioned here refers not only to goals, but also to the role of players in the team's overall tactics, as well as the impact on the team's morale and confidence!

In the eyes of the media, especially after Zhang Yang came to Manchester City, a middle and lower reaches of the Premier League team can still rank in the top six in the Premier League after 18 rounds of Premier League matches, which is enough to show Zhang Yang's strength and influence.

Of course, the media also admits that Zhang Yang is more 'incomprehensible' in choosing a team. Germany's Kicker believes that if Zhang Yang plays for Real Madrid or Barcelona, or Bayern Munich, or still plays for AC Milan, Zhang Yang will get more votes. Look Zhang Yang got only eight votes in the first place, and the number of votes in the second place was more than that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Zhang Yang knew that many voters were a little hesitant. Obviously, they were not confident in Zhang Yang's future in Manchester City, considering that the vote was two or three months ago. It's over, and the impact on this aspect is particularly great.

Some media that don't like Zhang Yang ridicule that Zhang Yang was the second place last year and the second place this year. It's really a thousand-year-old second, and considering that Zhang Yang is now playing for Manchester City, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Zhang Yang to win the second place in the future.
