In the tenth round of Serie A, the matchup between AC Milan and Juventus attracted the attention of the whole of Italy. After beating Napoli by AC Milan in the previous round, they moved up to second place in the table, three points behind Juventus, a game that neither team could afford to lose.

In order to win the game, both sides did a lot of pre-match preparation, and both went for the three points. AC Milan are more cautious because they are playing away from home, on someone else's turf, and they need to be more careful in the absence of the right time.

I thought it would be a very exciting game, but because the two sides were too cautious and played much more conservatively than expected, the game was extremely dull, and many fans fell asleep in the stands.

Because it was so dull that it was beyond imagination, the game could only end 0:0. After the game, both "Torino Sport" and "Milan Sport" pointed out the same point of view: "This battle of Tianwang Mountain is like a bland movie, without causing any waves. ”

The draw left the difference between AC Milan and Juventus unchanged at three points. Luckily, Napoli suffered a 1-0 upset defeat to Sassuolo at home in this round, and AC Milan were only two points ahead of Napoli, but now they are three points ahead. Milan fans joked: "I thought I lost two points after the draw with Juventus, but let's take a look first, and I got one more point." ”

Thankfully, the draw did not affect AC Milan in the next league game, with a 3-0 win over Verona in the 11th round, while Juventus and Napoli also won home and away respectively, and the three teams are still clinging to the top of the table.

And after this round of the league, Zhang Shujie will go to the World Footballer Award Ceremony, as the favorite of the year, Zhang Shujie is the most popular one. Although the German team won this year's European Championship, Zhang Shujie also won the league and Champions League last season, and also led AC Milan out of the predicament in the second half of the year and returned to the first group. Therefore, most people are also optimistic that Zhang Shujie will win the cup.

Sure enough, after the results came out, Zhang Shujie won the World Footballer of the Year trophy for the third consecutive year and the fourth time in history, and Zhang Shujie was also the first player to win this honor for three consecutive years. FIFA President Gianni Infantino publicly stated: "Zhang Shujie is the best player of the 21st century, and the best player in history except for Pele!"

As soon as these words came out, the media of various countries immediately exploded. In fact, before this, Infantino said something similar, thinking that Zhang Shujie was second only to Pele. But now it's different, he said this sentence in person at the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, and on such a formal occasion, it more or less made Zhang Shujie "crowned".

The Chinese media was even more excited, and while highly praising the World Footballer of the Year, they also boldly speculated: "Maybe FIFA will officially announce the second king of world football." (Maradona's title of "King of the Ball" has not been officially recognized, and currently FIFA officially recognizes only Pele.) ）

Zhang Shujie ushered in the third round of the Champions League group stage in such speculation, AC Milan away to Sevilla, Zhang Shujie broke the deadlock on the field with the second shot of the game in the 24th minute, six minutes, Zhang Shujie was tripped by the opposing defender in the penalty area, AC Milan won a penalty, and Milan No. 9 personally took the penalty.

The Chinese striker scored two goals at the Estadio Pizjuán in just 30 minutes, showing his quality as World Footballer of the Year. In the second half, when Cutrone extended the score to 3:0, Zhang Shujie was also replaced by Inzaghi and rested.

3-0 was also the final score of the game, with AC Milan winning three consecutive Champions League games and only one more win to qualify early.

Back to the league, AC Milan is also all the way forward, smashing Sampdoria and Fiorentina, followed by the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, the Rossoneri sit at home, facing the visiting Sevilla, this game AC Milan in the case of 0:1 behind, with Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua's brace and Yan Tao's goal, Milan won 5:1, bloodied La Liga at the San Siro Stadium, and successfully qualified for two rounds in advance.

AC Milan won two consecutive league games, and then in the European Ballon d'Or, Zhang Shujie defeated many competitors to win the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years, which is also his fifth personal trophy. Chinese media said: "With the World Cup, Champions League and other major honors in hand, and five Golden Balls and four World Footballer of the Year trophies, if Zhang Shujie is not the king of the ball, then who is?"

No one is going to answer this question publicly, but it seems that everyone has a spectrum in their hearts. Indeed, Zhang Shujie's honor, ability, data, leadership temperament, etc., are all conditions for becoming a football king. Chen Hui boldly pointed out: "Now it's just because Zhang Shujie has not retired, I believe that when he retires, FIFA will definitely give him a well-deserved 'name'." ”

In the past four years, the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year have been won by Zhang Shujie alone, and from the time he was 26 years old, until this year, these two awards have never been left behind. First of all, acknowledging Zhang Shujie's strength and honor, there are enough reasons to win this award. In the past four years, he has won four league titles, three Champions League titles, one World Cup, and countless other titles, big and small, and the stats are even more terrifying, with a season low of 41 and a maximum of 50 in the league alone, and a minimum of 11 and a maximum of 19 in the Champions League. Those top scorers and MVPs have long been relentless. These achievements are enough for him to stand out from the crowd and win all the individual awards.

It's just that the problem also comes. In the long run, it will inevitably cause people's aesthetic fatigue, and secondly, many media like the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer of the Year can be won by another person, but with the aging of Messi and Ronaldo, it is impossible for these two former "double pride" to win these two awards. Li Mu and Neymar are both outstanding, and the statistics are also very beautiful, and Li Mu has also won the Golden Ball Award once, but in the past four years, the two have been restricted by the overall record of their respective teams, and it is difficult to shake Zhang Shujie's status under the premise of not being able to win the Champions League.

Other players such as Asensio, Mbappe and other future kings are also unable to snatch these two awards from Zhang Shujie for the time being due to the team's record and being in the same team as Ronaldo and Neymar. This kind of factors accumulate together, no matter how much the outside world is aesthetically fatigued, it can only be to give the trophy to Zhang Shujie, who has great achievements and more honors.
