AC Milan have their final league game against Frosinone on 21 December. The opposition is a promoted team, and AC Milan will not have much problem beating them.

On the day of the game, in the face of this disparity of strength, AC Milan won a hearty victory 4:1 with goals from Abate, Baka, Alex and Bonaventura, and got a good mood for the upcoming Christmas.

AC Milan are currently second in the table, ahead of defending champions Juventus and Napoli third. In the scorer list, Zhang Shujie ranked first with 19 goals, and Higuain scored 16 goals, ranking behind Zhang Shujie. On the assist list, Juventus midfielder Zhao Wenkang has seven assists, which is the player with the most assists in the entire Serie A, and Zhang Shujie has six, ranking second.

It is not difficult to see that all the teams at the top of the standings are also ranked high in the scorer list or assist list, and the importance of core players to the team can be intuitively seen in this kind of data. Of course, the numbers don't tell the whole story, and there are a lot of players who are important to the team and they don't rely on the numbers.

Elsewhere in the league, Premier League player Lee Mu continued his best form last season, scoring 21 league goals before the halfway point, fewer than at the same time last season, but that was largely due to Chelsea's participation in the Club World Cup, playing two fewer games.

Xu Ziyi's performance is also very good, he scored seven goals and has eight assists, but shortly after the end of the Club World Cup, there was news that he and the team did not get along, there was news that Xu Ziyi wanted the team to give him a raise, the current salary at Chelsea is 6 million euros, far lower than Li Mu's 13 million (only 10 million when he first signed, an increase of 3 million this season), compared to Hazard, Costa is also a little behind, you must know that in the team rating last season, Xu Ziyi got the second highest score, second only to Li Mu, and in the entire Premier League, he also ranked third in the score, higher than teammate Eden Hazard.

If you just say that this "6 million" is not less, in fact, it is not less, but Xu Ziyi's performance is indeed more than 6 million, and if you take out his data again, it seems reasonable to ask for a salary increase: last season he played 48 games for Chelsea, scored 24 goals and assisted 24 times (16 goals and 16 assists in the league, 5 goals and 5 assists in the Champions League, 3 goals and 3 assists in the domestic cup), as a midfielder, an average of one goal in two games, And it is already very rebellious to create a goal per game, if it is changed to Real Madrid and Barcelona, at least 8 million euros can be taken casually, and Xu Ziyi's request is to hope that the salary can be increased to 8.5 million, but Chelsea is only willing to give him 7 million at most, which also caused Xu Ziyi's dissatisfaction, thinking that he has not been respected enough.

Chelsea actually have their own reasons, their midfield is wide, Hazard, Fabregas and other players are very strong, Hazard is ranked in the top ten today, so Chelsea also has enough confidence to respond to Xu Ziyi. To put it more bluntly, Chelsea can give Xu Ziyi a salary increase of 1 million at the end of the first season.

Some people say that Li Mu's salary increase has reached 3 million, and Xu Ziyi's 1 million is indeed a little less, but the situation of these two people is different, Li Mu was already a football superstar before he came to Chelsea, won the Serie A Golden Boot, led the team to the Champions League final as the team's top name, was selected into the annual team in the same year, and entered the top five of the Golden Ball Awards, which Xu Ziyi has not done.

To be fair, Xu Ziyi was only a very good midfielder when he was in Sevilla, and after coming to Chelsea and playing at the top level to win the league and the Champions League, he was considered a truly world-class midfielder by the media, but it was only one season, and he still needs a long period of performance to consolidate his position. You must know that Li Mu has been at Juventus for three years, and he has performed exceptionally every year, all of which have double-doubles, and even though he suffered a major injury in his final year with the Bianconeri, he still scored 21 goals and had 10 assists in 24 games.

Twenty-three-year-old Xu Ziyi is still very young, and it is understandable that capable professional players demand high salaries, but Chelsea feel that Xu Ziyi's requirements are "too high". However, Xu Ziyi did not tear his face with the club, but only talked to the team's senior management, and the other party did not answer positively, but said that he would consider it, Xu Ziyi was not noisy or noisy, although he had some stalks in his heart, he did not show it on his face, and he was still conscientious in training and games, and in this regard, he was still very professional in the game.

Manchester City are currently third in the Premier League, Chinese defender Liang Xiran scored his first goal in the Premier League in the tenth round, a very beautiful header, Liang Xiran has also had a lot of aggression in the last two years, his header is not only used to clear in his own penalty area, but also in the opponent's penalty area.

Ma Junqiang is the second-fewest goalkeeper in the Premier League, the first being Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. One of the highlights of the Premier League season is that the team at the top of the table is not Chelsea, not Manchester City, not Manchester United, not Arsenal Liverpool, but Leicester City.

Before the game, many people did not expect that this team could occupy the top position of the Premier League before Christmas, and has never won the top flight championship in England in history, almost always based on relegation, but did not expect that this year it has sprung up, and the teams in the second to fifth places in the standings have not beaten them this season, and the best record is a draw. I don't know what kind of magic manager Ranieri has cast for the team, so that the little-known "Fox City" can become the leader of the Premier League.

Agnelli was still very modest in an interview with the media: "We are not thinking about winning the championship now, the primary goal is relegation. ”

Maybe Ranieri's goal for the team at the beginning was indeed relegation, but after he saw the team all the way to the top of the Premier League, he slowly had other ideas. Ranieri, known as the "tinkerer", has coached many teams and has never won a title, and he needs a title to prove himself, so, deep down, he has long been on par with the Premier League title.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that this season's Premier League was disrupted by Leicester City, although they have put Chelsea and other giants behind, but many "football experts" are not optimistic about them, and the league is still halfway over, these experts believe that it is difficult for Leicester City to maintain consistency in the second half without a background, not to mention that other leagues have dark horses that have topped the table after the halfway, but at the end of the season, it is often difficult to win the championship.

Now, it depends on whether Leicester City, which is not favored by various media in the end, can win in the chaos.
