In the 2003-04 season before Arthur, there were four of Europe's brightest goalscorers, one being Thierry Henry, who led Arsenal back to the league title. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Thierry Henry scored 30 goals in 37 league games this season and led Arsenal to a Premier League title without losing a single game in 38 games, a record no team has achieved in a major domestic league for more than a century. In the same year, Thierry Henry was re-elected England Footballer of the Year (Footballer of the Year and Player of the Year) and became the runner-up of the World Footballer of the Year in 2004.

The Kings of Highbury have scored 39 goals in all competitions all season, leading the league in terms of goals scored and winning the European Golden Boot.

And Henry's winning the European Golden Boot did not win him a European Golden Ball, because the scorer who won the Golden Ball that year was Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko.

That season, Shevchenko was the top scorer in Serie A for the second time with 24 goals, helping AC Milan win their first Serie A title in five years. In the UEFA Super Cup and Italian Super Cup, Shevchenko also contributed key goals, allowing AC Milan to beat Porto and Lazio to win these two titles.

In addition to Thierry Henry and Shevchenko, the other two goalscorers who shine in European football in the 03-04 season are Ronaldo and Morientes.

This season was Ronaldo's best season for Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored 24 goals in La Liga to become the top scorer, in addition to four goals in the Champions League, two goals in the Copa del Rey and one in the Spanish Super Cup, bringing the total number of goals for the season to 31.

In 2003, Real Madrid made the decision to abandon Morientes, who was out of the limelight and was loaned to Ligue 1 side Monaco. It was there that Morientes gradually rediscovered his sense of scoring goals from misfortune and came to life as the absolute heart of the team.

In the 2003-04 season, Morientes perfectly explained the meaning of "the tree dies, the man lives", and became one of the few players in the Spanish national team in recent years to win a regular position with his overseas performances. In the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, Monaco met Real Madrid, and it was Morientes' goal that helped Monaco eliminate Real Madrid, which was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to Real Madrid's top management. Although Monaco lost to Porto in the final and finished second, Morientes won the title of Champions League top scorer with nine goals and had the best European experience.

In Arthur's pre-Arthur life, Henry, Shevchenko, Ronaldo and Morientes became the brightest goalscorers of the 03-04 season, but now, there is another name to add - Zlatan Ibrahimovic!

Under Mourinho's tutelage, Ibrahimovic is getting better and better, and his role in the Blackburn team is slowly changing, from a pure scorer to an all-rounder, his assists are starting to catch up with the number of goals, and Ibrahimovic is becoming more and more comprehensive at this time.

Ibrahimovic has scored 18 goals and provided seven assists in 25 league appearances this season, as well as eight goals and four assists in the Champions League, and is currently the top scorer in the Champions League and second in the Premier League.

"Maybe it's an opportunity...... Arthur here is a side-by-side comparison as he looks back on the results of Europe's top goalscorers this season, as this is perhaps the closest a Blackburn player has come to a Ballon d'Or.

Arthur remembers very well that the top five winners at the 2004 European Golden Globes were:

No.1: Shevchenko, 40 votes, 175 points;

No.2: Deco, 38 votes, 139 points;

No.3: Ronaldinho, 40 votes, 133 points;

No.4: Henry, 28 votes, 80 points;

No.5: Zagorakis, 17 votes, 44 points.

Arthur didn't understand why Thierry Henry, who led Arsenal to a record unbeaten Premier League title, was so unpopular with the Ballon d'Or, with only 28 votes and only about half Shevchenko's points.

Arthur doesn't know what's wrong with it, does it happen that the voters of the Ballon d'Or still think that Serie A is high above and looks down on the rest of Europe's four major leagues?

If the only reasonable explanation is given, it is that in Euro 2004, France's poor performance generally gave the judges the impression of mixed performances between the national team and the club, while Shevchenko's absence from the European Championship did not compare, but benefited.

Although Shevchenko's award has received a lot of praise and praise, it has also caused huge controversy.

Deco, who finished second in the previous Ballon d'Or awards, is currently in Blackburn's squad; Third-ranked Ronaldinho's Barcelona have been empty of all four this year, without any championship honors; Thierry Henry, who finished fourth, was held back by France at the European Championships; Zagorakis, who is in fifth place, just relied on the Greek mythology of the European Championship and barely made the list, so there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at it this way, if Blackburn can win the Champions League in the end, and Ibrahimovic, who is the core of the team, wins the top scorer in the Champions League, then he may not be able to climb to the top five of the Ballon d'Or list.

If Ibrahimovic can continue his good performances at this tournament, such as the "scorpion tail wagging" against Italy, then he may not be able to pose a threat to Shevchenko, who is out of the competition.

If Blackburn can stay strong in the first half of next season, Ibrahimovic is in good form and Shevchenko is in a slump, then Ibrahimovic may not be able to catch up later, reverse Shevchenko, and win Blackburn's first Ballon d'Or.

As for how to interfere with Shevchenko's state, Arthur already had a draft.

The easiest way, such as-

"Letting Shevchenko get bogged down in the transfer vortex, how can it affect him?" Arthur speculated.

Arthur came up with the easiest way to do it was to launch a ferocious bid for Shevchenko this summer, and Arthur could also invite Abou, who has always had a soft spot for Shevchenko, to form a model of Blackburn and Chelsea bidding together, and constantly put pressure on AC Milan and Shevchenko through the media and the Internet.

Of course, Arthur, who has long known that Shevchenko is not suitable for the Premier League and Muslim football, will definitely not really introduce Shevchenko, even if AC Milan really short-circuited his mind and agreed to Blackburn's low offer, Arthur will also "return" by various means such as failing to pass the physical examination and unable to agree on the player contract.

Arthur is also preparing to spread some bad rumors about Shevchenko, such as Shevchenko's desire to transfer to Chelsea for a high salary, or Shevchenko's transfer as a threat in order to sign a new high-value contract with AC Milan, Shevchenko is deeply involved in a drug scandal, etc., to build Shevchenko into an insatiable player who takes banned drugs.

And in order to ensure Ibrahimovic and Blackburn's fitness, Arthur is not prepared to make a big deal with the team this summer, and will tell Ibrahimovic in advance at the beginning of next season that the club will do everything in their power to promote him to compete for this year's European Ballon d'Or.

However, to support Ibrahimovic, Arthur certainly can't ask Mourinho to gather the strength of the whole team to help Ibrahimovic at any cost, and give up the team's achievements to create a lone heroic star, the Golden Ball Award will not be favored, Mourinho may not agree, and the effect may not be very good.

On the pitch, Arthur will only communicate with Mourinho and let Ibudo score as much as possible while ensuring the team's record.

Outside of the pitch, Arthur will work with Under Armour and other companies to promote and market his stars to expand Ibrahimovic's personal influence, so that the Ballon d'Or judges can often see Ibrahimovic's goal highlights and hear Ibrahimovic's personal story, which will influence the voting choice.

Arthur is ready to do everything he can to do his best, and as for whether Ibrahimovic can win the Ballon d'Or, it depends on whether he can fight for it.

So did Eevee live up to Arthur's painstaking efforts?

In the 32nd round of the Premier League on April 11, Blackburn Rovers hosted Leeds United, which was in a bad situation, with Ibrahimovic leading the game.

Blackburn opened the scoring with lightning in the opening 74 seconds, Duff's corner kick was barely saved by the Leeds United goalkeeper, and the unguarded Ibrahimovic volleyed a left-footed volley into the bottom left corner from 14 yards, 1:0!

Blackburn Rovers extended the score in the 4th minute, Duff crossed from the left, and the unguarded Ibrahimovic scored with a header from the edge of the small penalty area, scoring twice, 2:0.

It was also Ibrahimovic's 20th league goal of the season, and it put him well ahead of the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy in the top scorer charts, behind the in-form Thierry Henry.

In the 44th minute, Blackburn Rovers scored again, and Deco burst into the right side of the penalty area and shot into the near corner from a small angle after cooperating with Mendieta, 3:0.

In the 47th minute, Ronaldo's strong shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved, Blackburn won a corner kick, and then Deco crossed from the right side of the penalty area in the corner melee, and Ibrahimovic shot into the top corner of the net in front of the small penalty area to score a hat trick, 4:0.

In the second half, Yibian fought again, in the 68th minute, Sun Jihai crossed from the right, Ronaldo nodded the ball back from afar, and Ibrahimovic volleyed into the lower left corner in front of the small penalty area, 5:0.

Ibrahimovic, who played a big four, has improved his league goals this season to 22 goals, and is currently only two goals behind Thierry Henry at the top of the table, and this season's Premier League Golden Boot has once again set off suspense.

In the 86th minute, Mendieta's free kick was saved, and Ronaldo's shot from the left side of the small penalty area went straight into the near corner of the goal, 6:0.

A week after the six-goal massacre of Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers host Fulham once again.

Because the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Monaco will be played four days later, Mourinho rotated a number of main players with poor fitness or injury concerns, replaced five starters, and changed to a 4-2-3-1 formation. Cristiano Ronaldo, Cambiasso, Heinze, Mendieta, Paulo Ferreira returned to the starting line-up.

In the fifth minute, the Fulham winger burst into the box on the left and was brought down by Ashley Cole, Fulham won a penalty and made it 0:1 in one fell swoop, and Fulham took the lead with the first shot on goal.

Blackburn Rovers equalized in the 23rd minute, Paolo Ferreira crossed from the right, and Ibrahimovic headed into the far corner from 9 meters from the goal, 1:1.

Only 3 minutes later, Mendieta knocked back on the left, Alonso passed diagonally in front of the goal, the tall Ibrahimovic rushed to the top and did not touch the ball, but the football bounced off the ground and flew directly into the far corner, 2:1, Blackburn got a dramatic overtake!

The subsequent game completely entered the rhythm of Blackburn, Blackburn extended the advantage in the 38th minute, Fulham played with fire at the back, the fullback made a mistake on the side, Ibrahimovic broke the ball and turned 18 meters from the goal with a low left-footed shot into the bottom right corner, 3:1.

This is the sixth goal scored by Ibrahimovic in two games, and has already tied Henry, who failed to score in this round at the top of the standings, and scored with all three shots on target in the first half, and his form is terrifying!

In the second half, Blackburn extended the result in the 59th minute, Ashley Cole broke through on the left and turned to get rid of the low cross into the penalty area, substitute Ibrahimovic Drogba came on in front of the ball and knocked the ball across the middle, and Larsson advanced to the bottom left corner from 7 meters in front of the goal, 4:1.

Cristiano Ronaldo missed the goal in the 77th minute, after receiving a pass from substitute Deco and bursting into the box, he hit the right post with his left foot, and Cambiaso's follow-up shot was blocked by the Fulham goalkeeper, Blackburn finally won 4-1.

After two big league wins, Blackburn Rovers have not been able to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal, and the two teams are still five points apart, with only four games left in the league, this difference has also made Mourinho and Arthur completely decide to devote all their remaining energy to the Champions League, which is dominated by maintaining the main form, developing young substitutes and scoring goals for Ibrahimovic.

Since the 34th round of the Premier League, Ibrahimovic has scored 24 goals and provided seven assists in 27 league games.

Monaco travel to Blackburn Rovers in the Champions League semi-finals on 21 April and tomorrow's game will largely determine the final for both sides.

Monaco boss Didier Deschamps spoke to reporters at his pre-match press conference, where he praised Blackburn's performance in Europe this season and praised the opposition team's top scorer Ibrahimovic.

"When the team gets to the knockout stage, it's time to highlight the impact of the star team on the team. In the last couple of years, we were totally expecting mediocre players to win the Champions League, but when you have a player like Ibrahimovic, everything is different and he is more than capable of changing the outcome of the game. ”

'This Blackburn Rovers are obviously full of confidence to win, especially against Arsenal home and away, and knowing that it is not easy for any team to beat Arsenal twice in a row.

If Deschamps' praise for Ibrahimovic is still suspicious of pre-match character accumulation, Mourinho is talking about the love of the general, revealing a real expectation of trust.

He said: "I know a lot of people are looking forward to Blackburn's performance in the Champions League and we do need to make a breakthrough in this arena, the team has progressed to the knockout stages in the last two seasons, and if the team wants to break through in the next games, Ibrahimovic is the player to rely on.
