In the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 3-1 at home, with Li Mu, Xu Ziyi and Koster scoring one goal each to end the fixture. Chelsea also won the Premier League title this season, with Li Mu scoring 43 goals and 13 assists in 33 games, winning the Premier League's top scorer and setting a Premier League record for goals in a single season!

Xu Ziyi played 32 games, scored 16 goals and provided 16 assists, and is the third-most goalscorer in the team, four fewer than the second-place Costa, but Xu Ziyi far surpassed him in assists. The young Chinese midfielder and Li Mu are the only two players in the entire Chelsea team to average one goal per game, and there is no third in the entire Premier League.

Jose Mourinho described the two players as flawless, saying: "The combined transfer fee of the two is less than 130 million euros, which is definitely a great deal of money. ”

After a three-year hiatus, Chelsea have their sights set on the Champions League, where they face the same league champions: Italy's Juventus. It is also Li Mu's old club!

At present, the major European leagues have basically ended, only one round of Serie A remains, and the window of the summer transfer market has not yet opened, but many players have been rumored one after another, the most important is Zhang Shujie, since he broke out to leave Bayern, the major giants have offered him an offer, and there have been Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams have thrown an olive branch to him, but Zhang Shujie himself and his agent Feng Kai have not replied positively. Juventus, which has now won the Serie A championship ahead of schedule, also said that it is willing to buy back Zhang Shujie.

The Bianconeri offered a price of 85 million euros, which is the same price as Li Mu's departure last year. Mr. Zhang's annual salary was not announced, and Marotta said it was negotiable. It's just that Feng Kai refused and said bluntly: "Juventus wants to buy back Zhang Shujie at the price of selling Li Mu, which is simply impossible, Zhang Shujie is definitely more than this price." Similarly, even if a team wants to buy Li Mu this year, the price will definitely be higher than last year's 85 million!"

Feng Kai only rejected Juventus, and did not refuse Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Real Madrid, some media speculated that Feng Kai wanted the three of them to compete with each other to raise the price, increase Zhang Shujie's transfer fee, and get a high commission for himself. But what the real situation is, these media certainly don't know.

Chen Zihua also has transfer rumors, this season Chen Zihua as the absolute main force of Paris Saint-Germain, in the last two months of injury, failed to play all the leagues, but his 30 games of fifteen goals and fifteen assists have been concerned by other leagues, Guardiola admired him very much, thinking that his skills can fully adapt to his own passing tactics, and asked Bayern to buy Chen Zihua, Bayern also quickly quoted the price: 50 million euros.

In Bayern's eyes, a midfielder who plays in Ligue 1 has reached this number is not low, and Bayern bought the silver boot shooter Zhang Shujie from Juventus in the Serie A season only spent 53 million, and now for Chen Zihua to give 50 million, the club's senior management believes that the price is high.

However, Bayern killed Cheng Yanjin halfway, and Manchester City also publicly expressed interest in Chen Zihua. At the start of the season, Frank Lampard joined Manchester City for a year on a free transfer, giving the local club a glimpse of "B2B" The importance of midfield, although there is Yaya Toure in the team, but Toure is old after all, it is not a long-term solution; Silva has outstanding skills, but the confrontation ability is poor, and the help to the team in defense is limited, Manchester City urgently needs an all-round midfielder to control the team's offensive and defensive conversion, in Manchester City's view, Chen Zihua is such a player, he has no less attacking power than Lampard, and also has Silva's excellent foot skills, and the defensive interception is not worse than Toure, and even stronger, if Chen Zihua can join, then Manchester City's strength must go to a higher level。

What's more, Xu Ziyi, who has a similar style to Chen Zihua, has sorted out Chelsea's midfield in an orderly manner, although this season's Premier League assist kings are Cesc Fabregas and Mesut Ozil, both of whom are tied for first place with eighteen assists, but Xu Ziyi's direct 32 goals in 32 games are incomparable to the two, and the number of interceptions in the midfield is more than the two combined!

Manchester City knows that Chelsea's ability to win the Premier League and reach the Champions League final is not only the first credit for Li Mu, but also Xu Ziyi, who is the team's second hero. And it is no exaggeration to say that without Xu Ziyi, Li Mu would not have scored so many goals. Therefore, Manchester City, in the case of having Aguero, does not plan to introduce better strikers, but chooses to strengthen the midfield, Xu Ziyi They definitely can't buy it, so they looked at Chen Zihua. Of course, Chen Zihua is not their only option, and another midfielder is also on their radar, and that person is the Belgian midfielder of Bundesliga runners-up Wolfsburg: Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne has played very well in the Bundesliga this season, scoring six goals and 20 assists, and is the assist king in Europe, and Zhang Dongyi's rival is him. But the two in Wolfsburg can be described as ice and fire, De Bruyne played a world-class value data, Zhang Dongyi has been reduced to the point of watching a water cooler, not only that, but during the league he also wore a suit for the Volkswagen Group to arrange for the return to China to attend the event, in Zhang Dongyi's view, this is simply a humiliation.

And now Zhang Dongyi has decided to leave Wolf Castle and return to Guo'an. In the end, his journey to stay abroad was not as smooth as Zhang Shujie's, after all, the starting point was too high, and he joined Wolfsburg directly, and at the same time he was very unlucky to meet a rising De Bruyne, Zhang Dongyi had no choice but to leave.

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

On 7 June, the Champions League final will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany, with Chelsea and Juventus battling it out for the title. There will be plenty to watch in this game, first of all, the first one: Chelsea star Lee will be the center of attention, not only because he has scored the most Champions League goals this season, but also because he only arrived from Juventus last summer. Probably Li Mu didn't expect that after only one year of separation, he would reunite with his old club, but this time in the form of opponents.

The media of all parties have long reported the complicated feelings of Li Mu and Juventus, Li Mu did not speak publicly, but Juventus said bluntly, saying that he would definitely beat Chelsea led by Li Mu. Pogba, the new star of the team, even claimed: "Li Mu is great, but Juventus without Li Mu is also great!"

It is difficult for outsiders to speculate on the meaning of Pogba's words, but one thing is certain, it is the departure of Li Mu that has allowed the young Pogba to gradually rise to the top and become the offensive and defensive core of Juventus. Maybe Pogba wants to prove that he is no worse than Li Mu, and he wants to show everyone that Juventus, who have him, have the ability to beat Chelsea who have Li Mu.

The second attraction is that there are two Chinese players on each team, and this Chinese derby is more intense than it was two years ago. Li Mu and Xu Ziyi, Zhao Wenkang and Huang Yu all want to take home the Champions League trophy, in this regard, the Chinese media attention far exceeds the gimmick of "Li Mu vs. his old club", after all, they are all Chinese, and it is a great fortune for Chinese fans and Chinese football to see so many Chinese players appear in the Champions League final.

As for who will win the championship in the end, we will see on June 7.
