On May 28, local time in Italy, the Serie A league ushered in the final match, AC Milan challenged Cagliari away. As AC Milan had already won the title ahead of schedule, Cagliari's players had to welcome the AC Milan players before kick-off, a treatment the Rossoneri hadn't received for many years, and the fans in front of the stadium burst into applause.

In this game, Inzaghi sent a large number of substitutes, Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Yan Tao, Romagnoli, Suso, Deulofeu were all substitutes, and the only permanent main players were Bonaventura and Abate, as well as Donnarumma.

In the end, AC Milan lost 1-2 to Cagliari, Lapadula scored a penalty, and Juventus on the other side beat Bologna 2-1 to settle for second place by two points.

Since this is an away game, the championship trophy will not be reissued to AC Milan until next season, and the Milan players are also confused. Zhang Shujie felt even more incredible, at Juventus, the last game was also away, but the trophies were awarded as scheduled, why not this year? Is this the new regulation of the Italian Football Association?

However, Zhang Shujie didn't want to raise any objections, even if he did, he wouldn't change anything, anyway, the status of the champion was indispensable. The trophies were not handed out, the award ceremony could not be held, and even the parade of the teams could not be done. Zhang Shujie could only sigh softly, helpless.

The 2016/2017 Serie A season is over, and AC Milan have won the 19th league title in the club's history for the first time in six years, the second-most in Italy, ahead of their biggest rival, Juventus.

AC Milan celebrated briefly on the pitch in Cagliari, and the AC Milan fans at the scene also sang the team song "Milan, Milan", but after all, this was someone else's territory, and the momentum was not huge enough.

Zhang Shujie sprayed champagne on Inzaghi's body, but not long after, Zhang Shujie himself was sprayed with champagne, and every Milan player was wet, and many were even disheveled.

All the celebrations were kept simple, and it wasn't long before the AC Milan players returned to the dressing room, with Inzaghi returning to Milan after a press conference. While in the car, Inzaghi told everyone: "Today, you can celebrate to your heart's content, but when you wake up tomorrow, I hope you can forget it as soon as possible." A lot of people's seasons are over, but we haven't, we still have a very important game and I hope we can win and stand at the top of Europe!"

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

Manchester, United Kingdom.

It is the second most prosperous city in the UK and the first industrial city in the world. Manchester joins Trafford and Salford towns into the Manchester area, which has developed from an industrial city to a bustling city that never sleeps, featuring finance, education, commerce and manufacturing.

Most of the people here are very fond of football, and there are many football teams here, the size of which is not known at all, but there are two clubs known to the world, one is Manchester United, or Manchester United, and the other is Manchester City, or Manchester City.

United are in a bit of a decline now, but they have been slowly recovering lately, and although they did not win the league, they won the Europa League and qualified for next season's Champions League. Manchester United have plenty of young players with potential, such as Marcus Rashford, such as Anthony Martial, as well as superstars like Paul Pogba. Manchester United's age structure is very reasonable, and next season they will be the same favourites as they were in the past.

But now it's not Manchester United, it's Manchester City.

Manchester City was not a giant, not even a powerhouse, but since 2008 from the Middle East consortium bought Manchester City, Manchester City has gradually gained the confidence to dominate the league, and won the league title in the 2011/2012 season, and then won the trophy twice, and this year they reached the Champions League final for the first time in history.

Manchester City has received a lot of attention in China in recent years, mainly because of the three Chinese players who play here, especially this year, Xu Ziyi has performed extremely well, and is the number one contributor to Manchester City's ability to play triumphant songs on both fronts.

At the moment, Manchester City's training session has just ended, most of the players have gone home, and only three Chinese players are still in the dressing room, discussing something little known.

Liang Xiran was asking Ma Junqiang: "So, when Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao were at Bayern, they had a lot of conflicts with Guardiola?"

Ma Junqiang nodded and said, "Yes." But this matter has not been made public, and I only got some words from Zhang Shujie's mouth, and he didn't really want to reveal what happened at that time. But one thing I can be sure of is that Yan Tao once scolded Guardiola in the locker room. ”

Xu Ziyi said: "According to that kid's character, it's a good thing that he didn't fight." However, although Yan Tao looks reckless and sometimes impulsive, he is not an irritable person off the field. ”

"Therefore, he had a deep conflict with Guardiola at the beginning, otherwise he would not have gone to Milan. ”

Several people were silent for a while, and then Xu Ziyi said: "Don't mention the previous grievances, let's think about the game." I think if we want to win in the game, the key is to stare Zhang Shujie to death. ”

Liang Xiran nodded and said, "I know, but why do you keep an eye on him?"

"Well...... this" Xu Ziyi said: "You are a defender, you should know better than me." ”

"I've fought him a lot, I've used everything, and I've found that there's only one method that works for him. ”

"How?"

"Foul. ”

Xu Ziyi: "...... there is no other way?"

Liang Xiran thought for a while and said, "If he is in good shape, I really don't know what else to do." You know him well and you should know that he is a striker who can't find any weaknesses. ”

Xu Ziyi said: "How did we meet such a striker." There is Li Mu in the Premier League, and Zhang Shujie in the Champions League, so I can't live this day. ”

Ma Junqiang said: "If you meet it, you will meet it, we defeated Messi in the quarterfinals, and I believe that Zhang Shujie can also be defeated in the finals." ”

Xu Ziyi nodded and said, "Yes, confidence is very important." In the finals, I will go to see Chen Zihua. ”

Ma Junqiang asked: "How sure are you?" Chen Zihua's difficulty in defending will not be much less than that of Zhang Shujie. ”

Xu Ziyi said: "I have the same style of playing as him, and seeing him is equivalent to seeing myself, which can be regarded as knowing myself and knowing my opponent." ”

Liang Xiran said: "I guess Chen Zihua said the same about you." ”

"Not only that's what I, the three of them, are probably also thinking about how to limit our play. ”
