Chapter 170 We Are the Champions (12)

January 9, 2011.

FIFA 2010 Annual Awards Ceremony was held in Zurich.

In the 20th year of the FIFA 'World's Player of the Footballer' award and the 55th year of the French Football 'Golden Globe Award', the two awards were merged into the FIFA Golden Globe Award. In the selection of the new Golden Globe Awards, the judges of the previous two awards have been qualified. The head coach and captain of the national team and the designated media reporters of French Football each account for 1/3 of the weight.

This is the first award of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards, but it is almost the most suspenseful.

As everyone guessed before the award ceremony, Zhang Yang won the FIFA Golden Globe Award, and Manchester City's Chinese captain also became the first FIFA best male player of the year after Brazilian star Ronaldinho in 2005. Barcelona's Argentine star Messi ranked second. Lan's Dutch star Sneed ranked third.

In the summer of 2010, the new European champion Manchester City continued to call for rain in the transfer market. Yaya Toure joined from Barcelona for 28 million pounds, while Valencia's Spanish international David Silva also joined for 24 million pounds. In addition, Kolarov joined from Lazio for 17 million pounds, and England's international Milner joined Manchester City from Aston Villa for 24 million pounds.

The most eye-catching transfer is that Inter Milan's talented striker Balotheli joined Manchester City for 26 million pounds. Before the transfer was officially announced, Balotheli couldn't wait to say on his Twitter: My friends, I'm so happy that I'm going to play with Zhang!

Manchester City, which is recruiting a lot, obviously wants to have a big fight and continue to be the championship.

In the 2010/2011 season, Manchester City first won the English Charity Shield and the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season, and then at the FIFA Club World Cup in December, Manchester City reached the top of the World Cup and became the king of the world.

Until the end of 2010, Manchester City's performance was quite perfect.

However, after the start of the second half of the season, Manchester City's results began to fluctuate. The team was still too young to continue their crazy state and good luck last season. In addition, it has to be said that as the defending champion of the Premier League and the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City is now the most powerful enemy in the eyes of all teams, and every team is extremely desperate to face them. This also invisibly makes them work harder to win any game than last season.

This is also a 'pseudo-tycoon'. If you want to become a real rich family, you must go through it. They must get used to the days when they are a big team. Not only to enjoy the glory, but also to face all kinds of difficulties.

In the final 2010/2011 season, Manchester City ranked second in the Premier League and was eliminated by its old rival Inter Milan in the semi-finals in the Champions League. After losing to Manchester City in the Champions League final last summer, Mourinho postponed his plan to go to Real Madrid, stayed at Inter Milan, and vowed to lead Inter Milan to win the Champions League. Finally, in this season, Inter Milan, led by Mourinho, reached the top of Europe and became the king of Europe in the 2010/2011 season.

Manchester City has won the Charity Shield Cup, the European Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. The league is the runner-up and the Champions League is the top four. Generally speaking, this is an acceptable result for any rich family. However, considering Manchester City's madness last season, and this The team's crazy money in the transfer market is still being said by some media that this is a losing season for Manchester City.

In this regard, Zhang Yang spoke on behalf of Manchester City: We were criticized for not winning the championship. This is a good thing, which shows that in the eyes of everyone, we are the champion team. There is no room for failure at all, otherwise others will gossip.

In the 2011/2012 season, under the leadership of Zhang Yang, Manchester City regained the Premier League and won the Premier League championship. Zhang Yang also won the Premier League Golden Boot for the fourth consecutive season.

However, in the Champions League, although Manchester City reached the final, they lost to their old rival Chelsea in the final, ranking second.

In addition, the 2011 FIFA Golden Globe Award was won by Argentine player Messi, and Zhang Yang ranked second. Subsequently, news broke out in the media that Zhang Yang and Messi clashed in a bar. However, later, the media deleted the news, which attracted a lot of speculation.

In the 2012/2013 season, Manchester City ranked second in the Premier League. However, they reached the final in the Champions League and defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in the final and won the second Champions League trophy in the club's history.

At the end of the season, Ronaldo, who won the second Champions League title of his career, announced his retirement. This year, Ronaldo was 37 years old.

When saying goodbye to the fans and teammates, Ronnie burst into tears on the court. He said that his years in Manchester City were his most memorable years. He would always remember the days when he fought side by side with Zhang Yang and everyone in Manchester City.

On this day, the news that Manchester City once again reached the top of Europe and Ronaldo's retirement occupied the front page of almost global sports media.

Although Ronaldo announced his retirement and Robinho's transfer to AC Milan a season ago, Manchester City still has a team that scares all teams.

Zhang Yang, Tevez, Balotli, Aguero, Dzeko. Manchester City's top five super shooters can be called the most luxurious front configuration in the world.

In the selection of the 2012 FIFA Golden Globe Awards, Zhang Yang was re-elected as Mr. Golden Globes. The second place is Brazilian star Neymar, the third place is Argentine star Messi, and the last two are Barcelona stars.

In 2013, a small thing happened. In a warm-up match, the Chinese men's football team was defeated by Thailand's 'youth team' by 3-1. This fiasco also brought the anger of Chinese fans and the media to its peak.

Subsequently, the Chinese Football Association fired the national team head coach Camacho, and the Spaniard once again became the scapegoat of the Chinese Football Association.

After the matter was **, after Zhang Yang learned about the fiasco of the Chinese men's football team, in an interview with Mass Daily, he fired at the Chinese Football Association, accusing the Chinese Football Association of being the most denounced and responsible for the current situation of Chinese football. After firing the gun, when asked by the reporter about the 'national team', he made a rare statement that he was willing to fight for the country at any time. However, he also said that the current environment of the national team is very bad and is not suitable to be selected for the national team at this time.

In December 2013, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to win the World Club World Cup in Japan again. Just as he led Manchester City to the peak, a major event happened in Chinese football, and many senior leaders of the Chinese Football Association were held accountable, according to later by the media. Yes, Mr. Xi is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of Chinese football. A sport loved by the people has actually become the current situation of 'people shouting and fighting'. How can this be?! President Xi also took Zhang Yang as an example, 'We have Zhang Yang, the world's first star in China. With such an example, can't we still do football well?'

Half a month later, Zhang Yang won the award again in the 2013 FIFA Golden Globe Awards. This is the fourth time in his career that he has been elected the title of FIFA Male Athlete of the Year, and the first person in the history of FIFA.

When making an award-winning speech, Zhang Yang suddenly announced that he would play for the Chinese team for the first time in the warm-up match between the Chinese national team and the Uzbekistan national team in a month.

This very ordinary warm-up match immediately attracted the attention of the world.

In this warm-up match, the Chinese team drew 3-1 with Uzbekistan, and Zhang Yang staged a hat-trick. However, after the game, Zhang Yang roared in the locker room. Immediately, a week later, the Chinese Football Association announced that it would expel the three old internationals from the national team. The media speculated that it was because the attitude of the three veteran internationals in the game made Zhang Yang angry that the Chinese Football Association killed him. According to the media, the "task" given to the "adjusted" Chinese Football Association is to fully cooperate with Zhang Yang and strive to bring the Chinese national team out. And for the first time, the senior management of the General Administration of Sports did not put forward any so-called hard task requirements for the Chinese national team. It is said that President Xi is very concerned about this national team and also gave a special instruction, which is that the satisfaction of the fans is the best score.

In this season, that is, the 2013/2014 season, Manchester City won the Premier League championship trophy again after a year. This is that Manchester City has won the Premier League championship three times in six years. In addition, they reached the final in the Champions League and defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in the final. With the success of the crown, Manchester City has also become the first team to successfully defend its title after the reorganization of the Champions League.

In January 2015, Zhang Yang won the FIFA Golden Globe Award.

However, the 2014/2015 season was a depressing and surprising season for Manchester City fans. Zhang Yang was injured during the Devil's schedule at Christmas. The injury was expected to be serious, but only a week later, the club announced a magical recovery from his injury; however, in half a month After that, in the Manchester derby with Manchester United, Zhang Yang suffered a rough foul and left the field with injury. After the game, fans from both sides also clashed. This time, the Manchester City captain was absent from the court for half a year.

In the end, in this season, Manchester City only ranked third in the Premier League and stopped in the quarterfinals in the Champions League.

At the end of the season, Van Basten resigned and left the position of head coach of Manchester City. Zhang Yang announced that he would take over as the head coach of Manchester City when he played for AC Milan.

"Van Basten's Manchester City era is over, and Ancelotti's Manchester City era has begun... However, this has always been a publicity of the Manchester City era..." - The Times.
