For the whole of December, Manchester City have eight games to play, and no other player in the whole of European football has been able to surpass them in terms of the intensity of the schedule. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After playing the Toyota Cup, Manchester City flew back to the UK from Japan, and challenged Leicester on the 5th, and Ding Hongxing scored a goal to help the team win 2-0.

Next up is Manchester City's final game in the Champions League group stage, where they host Inter Milan.

Inter Milan are in a delicate situation right now, as they are top of six group tops, but this is not a shaky one, and depending on the results and fixtures of the other groups, at least three teams could overtake them after the final round of fixtures.

If Inter Milan can draw with Manchester City in this game, they will be more secure, and if they can beat Manchester City, they will definitely be able to qualify with one of the best two group runners, so what tactics they should adopt to face Manchester City in this game is also a question, Manchester City have qualified, judging from the possible attitude of the game, they still have hope of beating Manchester City in the last round, but do they dare to take risks?

Manchester City has a Ding Hongxing, even if he has qualified, Ding Hongxing's attitude will always go all out, with his terrifying state this season, in case Inter Milan adopts more aggressive tactics and is seized by Ding Hongxing One or Two opportunities, they have a great chance of failure.

In the end, Inter Milan's England coach Roy Hodgson decided to adopt defensive counterattack tactics, leaving only one Ronaldo at the front, using his super speed and explosiveness to counterattack.

Manchester City did send a rotating lineup, of course, this does not mean that they will give up this game casually, so far, Manchester City team has not tasted defeat this season, not even a draw, who doesn't want to create a miracle of winning the championship?

Manchester City team at home, of course, used offensive tactics, at the beginning of the game, the Manchester City team's lineup was pressed very high, however, Ding Hongxing stayed in his own half, he mainly used his long passing ability to dispatch his own attack, and Hodgson also knew that Ding Hongxing was to prevent Ronaldo's counterattack, he sighed, and could only hope that the team's defense line would be able to defend Manchester City's attack.

There are still a lot of sapper players in the Inter Milan team, and when they defend with one heart, the effect is still good, although Hodgson is the coach of England, but Inter Milan is still an Italian team after all, and the essence of chain defense is still very well understood, so the two sides have been unable to open the deadlock in this game.

In the end, it was Ding Hongxing who decided the outcome of the game, and in the 86th minute of the game, he used a free kick to rewrite the score to 1-0.

Not only did the goal help his team win, but he also held the record for scoring in every game this season.

Such a state of terror can be said to be unprecedented in the history of football, and the Maine Road stadium once again resounded with the song of "Red Star Shines on Maine Road".

Inter Milan were lucky, and although they lost this game, they still finished second in their two best groups with Manchester United, and narrowly escaped qualification.

They were joined by the top six groups in Group A: Olympiacos, Juventus in Group B, Manchester City in Group C, Bayern Munich in Group D, Dynamo Kiev in Group E and Kaiserslautern in Group F.

Among the top eight teams, Serie A, the Premier League, and the Bundesliga each have two seats, and the other two teams are from Greece and Ukraine.

After the draw, the quarter-finals were decided, Manchester United against Inter Milan, Juventus against Olympiacos, Manchester City against Dynamo Kiev, Bayern Munich against Kaiserslautern.

The Champions League knockout rounds of this era have not been avoided by the same league teams, so the two Bundesliga teams of Bayern Munich and Kaiserslautern will have to battle it out in the quarter-finals, which of course guarantees that the Bundesliga will have a team in the last four.

On December 12, Manchester City won 3-0 against Everton in an away game, with Ding Hongxing scoring a goal.

A week later, Manchester City won 5-0 at home to Wimbledon, with Ding Hongxing scoring twice.

On the 22nd, Manchester City defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at home in the quarterfinals of the League Cup and advanced to the last four of the League Cup.

After this game, Ding Hongxing received his second European Ballon d'Or trophy at the European Golden Ball Awards ceremony held by French Football magazine, this time, Ding Hongxing, Zidane and Ronaldo entered the final three-person shortlist, but although Zidane and Ronaldo's performance is also good, compared with Ding Hongxing, who is radiant this year, the gap in individual performance is still too far apart.

Zidane and Ronaldo were selected for the final three-person shortlist, the biggest stem is the 98 World Cup, the two of them led France and Brazil to the final of this World Cup respectively, because Zidane eventually led the team to win the championship, so in real history, Zidane defeated Ronaldo and won the European Ballon d'Or this year.

But the current situation is that Ding Hongxing is extremely strong in the game at club level, and other players are not even slightly closer to him in terms of performance, this year, he has won all the titles he can get, and he has won the top scorer and best player in all the tournaments he has participated in, and he has scored more than 100 goals this year, even if Zidane won the league title at Juventus, Ronaldo won a UEFA Cup title at Inter Milan, But these achievements are bleak in comparison with Ding Hongxing.

In the end, under the premise that 98 is the year of the World Cup, Ding Hongxing, who did not participate in the World Cup, defeated Zidane and Ronaldo in the evaluation of the European Golden Ball Awards with an absolute advantage, and won the European Golden Ball Award for the second consecutive year.

After Ding Hongxing won the award, no one felt that there was any controversy, even Zidane and Ronaldo were convinced to congratulate Ding Hongxing on the award, as players, they know best what Ding Hongxing's achievements mean, and they believe that Ding Hongxing deserves this award.
