Manchester City defended their European title by beating Cruzeiro to lift the Toyota Cup in '97, and Ding Hongxing, who contributed three goals and one assist, deservedly won the Player of the Match award and was rewarded with a Toyota car, but he immediately announced that he had donated the car to UNICEF. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The classic of this game can be described as the most in the history of the Toyota Cup, the goals in the game are all wonderful, and in England, the media is even more special about this game, because this is the first time that the English team has won the honor of the Toyota Cup, it is strange to say, the English team has entered the Toyota Cup four times before, but these four times they all lost to the South American representatives, which is an absolute shame for England, which has too much self-esteem, and Manchester City's victory this time, It is to help them wash away this shame.

In addition, since the start of the Premier League last season, Manchester City has won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Charity Shield, UEFA Super Cup and now the Toyota Cup, during which they have won all the competitions they have participated in, which can be called the six crowns, and there has never been such a dominant team in the history of European football. If they win the Carabao Cup this season, it will be an unprecedented Grand Slam.

The English media are hotly discussing the possibility of Manchester City winning the Grand Slam, now Manchester City has entered the quarterfinals of the League Cup, and it is enough to win three more games, for the now invincible Manchester City, the difficulty does not seem to be too big, however, now the teams that have entered the quarterfinals of the League Cup are all Premier League teams, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and other strong teams, if in the past, these teams may not pay so much attention to the League Cup, but now it is different, In order to prevent Manchester City from winning a Grand Slam, these teams will definitely do their best to snipe Manchester City, who have always rotated their squad in the Carabao Cup, so it is difficult to say whether they will win the Carabao Cup this season.

On the day of the Toyota Cup, news came from France that Ding Hongxing, Ronaldo, and Piero entered the final three-person shortlist for this year's European Golden Globe Awards, and the award ceremony will be held in France on December 5.

The final winner of the Ballon d'Or is not yet known, but of course, the English media must spare no effort to build momentum for the players in their own league, in their opinion, if Ding Hongxing wins this year's European Ballon d'Or, it is deserved, undisputed, on the contrary, if he loses again, it will be a shame for the European Ballon d'Or, and the European Ballon d'Or will lose credibility.

Of course, not only the English media, for everyone, Ding Hongxing is the biggest favorite for this year's European Ballon d'Or, he won six official championship trophies this year, including the heaviest Champions League champion, league title, he also won almost all individual honors including Premier League top scorer, best player, Champions League top scorer, best player, European Golden Boot Award, he scored more than 80 goals in all official matches in 97, such a performance, In the ninety-seven years when there were no major competitions, there was really no one who could beat it.

In contrast, Ding Hongxing's two rivals, Ronaldo's main achievements in '97 are the European Cup Winners' Cup, the Spanish Copa del Rey, the La Liga runner-up, the Copa America, and a La Liga top scorer, these honors are far from Ding Hongxing in terms of number and rank, and perhaps the only thing he has an advantage over Ding Hongxing is that he has a national team championship.

As for Piero, his main achievement is to help Juventus win two consecutive Serie A titles and the Champions League semi-finals, these honors and his personal performance are also very good, but compared with Ding Hongxing, there is no advantage at all.

It can be said that this time Ding Hongxing's advantage is huge, he has missed the European Golden Globe Award twice, as the saying goes, there are only three things, if there is no accident, this time the European Golden Globe Award round should also be his turn.

Perhaps Ding Hongxing's biggest disadvantage is because he comes from China, an underdeveloped country in football.

After returning to Manchester, after a two-day break, Ding Hongxing flew to France to prepare for the European Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

On the evening of the 5th, at the European Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Ding Hongxing met Ronaldo again, and Ronaldo took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Ding Hongxing: "Ding, congratulations on winning the Toyota Cup!" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled and shook his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

Ronaldo added: "It seems that I have to congratulate you in advance on winning the European Ballon d'Or." ”

Ding Hongxing said: "The results haven't come out yet, it's hard to say anything." ”

Ronaldo shook his head: "If it weren't for you this time, I would have to complain about you." ”

Ding Hongxing shook his head and smiled, but did not answer.

Ronaldo said: "But I'm looking forward to our next meeting! ”

Looking at the fierce battle intent in Ronaldo's eyes, Ding Hongxing smiled and nodded: "I'm also looking forward to it!" ”

The two laughed and separated, and it was strange to say, as both born in 76 and the best star of the new generation, there were really too few direct encounters between Ding Hongxing and Ronaldo, which was the few times when everyone was in the Eredivisie, and the two have not met in the higher-level Champions League so far, which has to be said to be a pity.

This is mainly because Ronaldo has too few opportunities to participate in the Champions League, he has not won a European League title so far, so it is naturally impossible to participate in the Champions League, last season he won the runner-up in La Liga with Barcelona, originally qualified for the Champions League this season, but he transferred to Inter Milan in Serie A last season, Inter Milan did not enter the top two in Serie A last season, so it seems that the two have no chance to meet again this season.

Ding Hongxing's performance in the past two seasons is too dazzling, this season's European Golden Ball Awards, Ronaldo himself is willing to bow down, but, with Ronaldo's character, of course he is not willing to be resigned, presumably next year, he wants to do a big job, and he is also eager to defeat Ding Hongxing in a direct confrontation with Ding Hongxing, in order to prove that he is still the best person of the young generation.
