In this game, AC Milan drew 1-1 with Marseille at home.

AC Milan won the first place in the group and took the lead in the knockout stage.

With this draw, Marseille also won the third place in the group and was able to continue to stay in the European arena and instead compete in the League Cup.

However, the biggest focus of this game is not the two teams.

But it is open-minded.

"Zhang Yang Comes Back!" is the front page title of Milan Sports News. In the report, the media reviewed Zhang Yang's contribution to Milan last season, while also cheered for Zhang Yang's achievements at Manchester City. At the same time, the lines did not forget to express their discomfort and regret for Milan's club selling Zhang Yang.

The Marseille media expressed their love for Zhang Yang with the title "Zhang Yang Bless Marseille to Stay in Europe". The goal to equalize the score was Zhang Yang's friend Yasioi in Marseille. The midfielder broke into the penalty area and shook away several Milan players in a row and scored with one shot.

"Atlanie Marseille" describes Yasioi's goal as a "flattering goal".

Three days later, in the 17th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester City beat Everton 1-0 at home, Zhang Yang created a penalty kick, and Robinho scored.

Another week later, in the 18th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League season, Manchester City 2-2 West Bromwich away. Zhang Yang scored a goal in the game, helping Manchester City expand the score to 2-0. However, not long after the second half, Manchester City central defender Kompany made a foul in the penalty area and was sentenced to a penalty sentence by the referee. He added a red card to a penalty. West Bromwich player sent the penalty. After more than 70 minutes of the game, Ireland, who came on as a substitute, touched the ball with his hand in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty again.

West Bromvic stubbornly equalized the score with two penalty kicks, and Manchester City once again exposed his unsteady side on the road.

The Guardian also commented that if it weren't for the goals of Zhang Yang and Modric that helped Manchester City establish a lead of two goals, they wouldn't even get a point. Of course, the media also pointed out that the referee's second penalty was somewhat controversial, because although Ireland had a handball, it was a ball hitter, not a handball player, which was a passive handball. Strictly speaking, it was a more correct penalty to not award a penalty.

After this game, people focused on the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards.

Zhang Yang OR Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be the winner of the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards?!

Finally, the day after the match between Manchester City and West Bromvic, the 2008 European Footballer and Golden Ball Awards were officially announced. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United, narrowly defeated Zhang Yang to win the championship.

In last year's Golden Globe Awards, Kaka was the winner, Zhang Yang ranked second, and Cristiano Ronaldo ranked third. However, this year, Cristiano Ronaldo became the winner, while Zhang Yang ranked second.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the European Golden Ball Award, which is also the third Portuguese to win the Golden Ball after Eusepio in 1965 and Figo in 2000; it is also the fourth Manchester United player to win the Golden Ball since Dennis Law in 1964, Bobby Charlton in 1966, and Best in 1968.

Zhang Yang ranked second in the scoring rankings, while Barcelona's Argentine player Messi ranked third.

Liverpool's Spanish star Torres ranked fourth, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas ranked fifth, and last year's Golden Ball winner Kaka only ranked ninth.

Among the 96 journalists' votes, 51 listed C. Ronaldo as the first place, while Kaka's 78 journalists listed him as the top spot last year.

There were forty-three reporters who gave the first-ranked vote to Zhang Yang.

"Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in the Madeira Islands in Portugal. In August 2003, Manchester United bought him from Sporting Lisbon for £12.24 million and put him on the No. 7 jersey of Beckham, who had just transferred to Real Madrid. The 2007-08 season was C-Ronaldo's best season at Manchester United. He scored 42 goals for Manchester United in various competitions, including 34 games.

31 goals in the Super League, 8 goals in the UEFA Champions League, winning the Premier League Golden Boot, and Manchester United also won the double championship in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. In the European Cup held in June, C-Ronaldo led Portugal to the quarter-finals, but unfortunately lost to the later runner-up Germany 2-3. He scored a goal against the Czech Republic in the group stage. Before winning the Golden Ball Award, he was selected as 2008 by the International Federation of Players.

FIFPro Footballer of the Year and won the 2008 World Footballer of the British magazine World Footballer selected by fans around the world... In the 2008 European Golden Ball Competition, Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest opponent was Zhang Yang. Before the award was announced, people predicted that the competition between the two would be very fierce. The final result was that Cristiano Ronaldo won 51 first-ranked votes, while Zhang Yang won 43 first-ranked votes. However, among the second-ranked votes, Zhang Yang was slightly more than Cristiano Ronaldo. Therefore, the final result was that although Cristiano Ronaldo scored more than Zhang Yang in total, he was only five points ahead of Zhang Yang! With an extremely weak advantage, he won the 2008 European Golden Ball Award!" - French Ligue 2

In this list, the Premier League and the Spanish national team became big winners. A total of 11 players in the Premier League won the votes from reporters, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhang Yang, Torres and Gerrard entered the top ten. Six of the new European Cup champions in Spain entered the list of Golden Globe candidates, with Torres, Casillas, Xavi and Villa in the top 10, and only Barack was the runner-up in Germany. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Vidic and Van der Sar also won the votes in the final selection of the Golden Globes with their double titles in the 2007-08 season.

In terms of the league, Serie A has no glory in previous years. Last year's Golden Ball winner Kaka only ranked 9th, and Serie A has only three players on the list. Although Real Madrid has 5 selected in the 30-man shortlist, making it the club with the largest number of candidates, only Casillas entered the top ten in the end, relying on Spain to win the European Cup, while Pepe and Van der Fate did not receive a vote from reporters. Tony from Bayern, Jerkov from Moscow Central Asian Army and Benzema from Lyon were also the same as them.

Speaking of the "zero-point family" in this selection, there are Tony, Pepe, Van der Fate, Jerkov and Benzema, which has been reduced compared to previous years. In this year's selection, "French Football" will reduce the shortlist from 50 to 30 for the first time. At least, like Raul and Beckham last year, the brothers who are slapped in the Bundesliga scorer are no longer so dazzling. Among the five players, Tony is the Bundesliga scorer king, and Jerkov is immediately on the European Cup. It is relatively surprising that they have no score.

There are also "failed" on the list, such as Fabregas, a member of the European Championship team and a member of the Premier League gang. He ranks very low and is not as good as Aguero and Buffon and his teammate Adebayo. Fabregas's problem is that he is too low-key and lacks highlights in personal technical indicators, unlike Adebayo who scored 30 goals in a season. In addition, the media generally believes that Arsenal's fatigue and softness have also dragged down Fabregas. In addition, he was the 12th player in the European Cup, which has dragged down this future candidate for Golden Ball canvassing votes.

However, the media's most upset was that Zhang Yang lost to Cristiano Ronaldo in the final score, and many media stood up for Zhang Yang.

They list Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang's performances in the past season and the beginning of the new season.

The final conclusion was: Zhang Yang's goal efficiency is 15 times that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Zhang Yang's direct score to the team, that is, the victory and draw directly to the team, is also 16 times that of Cristiano Ronaldo. In terms of contribution to the team, Zhang Yang is also stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo. The contribution mentioned here not only refers to the goal, but also the players' overall tactics on the team, as well as the impact on the team's morale and confidence!

In the media's opinion, especially after Zhang Yang came to Manchester City, he would still be able to rank among the top six in the Premier League after 18 rounds of Premier League games, which is enough to show Zhang Yang's strength and influence.

Of course, the media also admitted that Zhang Yang is more "incomprehensible" in choosing a team. Germany's "Kicker" believes that if Zhang Yang plays for Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, or still plays for AC Milan, Zhang Yang will get more votes. Look at how many votes Zhang Yang won the first pick is only eight more than Cristiano Ronaldo, and the second pick is more than Cristiano Ronaldo. Many voters are hesitant. They are obviously not confident about Zhang Yang's future at Manchester City. Considering that the vote ended two or three months ago, this has a particularly great impact.

Some media that don’t like Zhang Yang are sarcastic that Zhang Yang was second in the last year and second in the year, and he is really the second in the millennium. And considering that Zhang Yang is now playing for Manchester City, it will probably be difficult for Zhang Yang to even be second in the future.
