There are always a lot of soap operas in the transfer market every year, where a certain king is going to leave such and such a team and retire in such and such a place, and a certain superstar will transfer to such and such a team, creating sky-high transfer fees, etc., but in fact, not many are realized. is like Neymar, who has been rumored to have transferred to Real Madrid for two years, but it still hasn't come out this year. No way, the 34-year-old Ronaldo is still in good shape, the commercial value is still very high, and Neymar is not willing to go to the Bernabeu Stadium to be Ronaldo's younger brother.

Looking at AC Milan again, Ter Stegen eventually remained in Barcelona, Donnarumma also continued to guard his door at AC Milan, and Brother Li was unable to find a suitable left-back who was willing to join Milan until the transfer window closed, and Brother Li was also a little distressed: "Is AC Milan so unattractive?"

Of course not, it's just that Li Hongyong, as a pure businessman, probably doesn't understand the concept of "loyalty" very well, Marcelo and Huang Yu have only become stars in their current clubs, and these two clubs are good to them, they are strong supporters when they encounter difficulties, and they are also very popular in the team. What's more, these two are both about 30 years old, if they are younger, it cannot be ruled out that they will really come to AC Milan, because the young ones have not been in their team for a long time, and there is no such thing as "loyalty".

AC Milan ended up selling only a few decent substitutes, as well as a number of departures such as Kalinic, who Suso had planned to leave this summer, but after some thought, decided to stay. Although you can't play the main force anymore, you can also get more objective playing time, and it's not bad to mix some championship titles with the bigwigs in the team.

AC Milan ushered in the 2019/2020 season, Zhang Shujie, who had just recovered from injury, missed the first three games of the league, AC Milan won two games and lost six points, ranking fourth in the league, and the one that lost was lost to Juventus, with a score of 0:2.

But soon, Zhang Shujie made a comeback, scoring 14 goals in the next 10 games, and AC Milan also won nine and drew one. Chen Hui said: "Milan with Zhang Shujie and without Zhang Shujie are two teams, but Milan can't do without him." ”

Inzaghi also said: "He is an other, he does not belong to our earth, but I don't know which planet he is from, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he belongs to the city of Milan." ”

If Zhang Shujie lacks enough competitors in Serie A, then in the Champions League, no one can stop him, in the first four Champions League games, he scored seven goals, AC Milan also won four in a row, two rounds ahead of the group to lock up the top spot. Inzaghi made it clear that Zhang Shujie will not play again in the last two group games, which also shows that although Zhang Shujie is now ranked first in the Champions League scorer list, because he will enter the rotation in the last two rounds, then his top position may be surpassed by Li Mu, Neymar and Kane at any time, all three have scored six goals.

However, Zhang Shujie doesn't care about these so-called "top scorers" now, he has won too many golden boots to count on both hands, and now he can attract him in addition to team honors, and individual honors are basically not attractive to him - except for the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer of the Year.

This year, the selection of these two awards has fallen into a mess, first of all, Messi and Ronaldo, the regulars of the past ten years, are definitely out of luck, not because they are not capable, but because of the lack of excellent tournament honors, and they are also older, and their form will inevitably decline. What about Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Neymar and other players? Li Mu is also unlikely, Chelsea only won the FA Cup last season, which is obviously not convincing enough; Neymar has the Ligue 1 title, but in the Champions League he has stopped in the round of 16 for the second year in a row, and he will undoubtedly lose a lot of votes in the selection. Zhang Shujie's major accolades are only league titles, but judging from last season's performances, the Chinese striker is still the favorite.

Atletico Madrid won last season's Champions League, but it didn't have much to do with the team's number one star Griezmann, who played only eight of the 13 Champions League games, including five in the group stage and scored four goals, and only played the first three games in the knockout round, scoring one goal, which is a world of difference compared to Zhang Shujie's 11 goals in 10 games. If data alone is not enough to convince the world, then Zhang Shujie's Champions League runner-up is also a small honor. You must know that Griezmann, the Champions League champion, relies more on "lying crown", and the championship itself is full of weight, but for Griezmann personally, it is not convincing enough.

Looking at the performance of the new season, Zhang Shujie has scored more than 20 goals, while Griezmann is only half of him. In the selection of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year every year, the performance at the beginning of the new season is also an indicator, and there is no doubt that Zhang Shujie is already ahead of Griezmann in this regard.

Some people believe that Xu Ziyi is also a big hit. In the Champions League final last season, when AC Milan lacked Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, it was Xu Ziyi who single-handedly led the entire Milan team, so it was possible for him. It's just that this possibility is a bit small, and it is almost impossible for any player to win the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year when he is on the same team as Zhang Shujie.

The suspense was finally revealed in early November, in the selection of the World Footballer, Zhang Shujie lifted the trophy for the third consecutive year, ranking second with Li Mu and third with Neymar. Although he did not get the Champions League last season, who else is eligible to win this award other than him?

It's just that people are also a little confused about the ranking of second and third places. Some people believe that Manchester City's De Bruyne and AC Milan's Xu Ziyi are qualified to rank in the top three, of course, this is not to say that Li Mu and Neymar are not qualified, but in terms of honor, these two seem to be a little bit worse this year. Neymar's Ligue 1 title is slightly lower, Li Mu's biggest capital is not the FA Cup, but the Champions League semi-finals, they can enter the top three, more factors should be their crazy rise in the number of goals in the second half of the year, and this has won attention and attention.

Some people speculate that the selection of the Ballon d'Or should also be in line with the World Footballer. Sure enough, in the list of winners announced in mid-December, Zhang Shujie lifted the trophy, which was his fourth time winning the Golden Globe Award and the third consecutive year that he clinked the cup.

Four Ballon d'Or awards, three times Footballer of the Year, Zhang Shujie's name has made his name a step forward in the history of world football. At this time, the question of his historical place was already being discussed.
