The rain hit the windowsill, staring at the window, stretching.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Zhang, have you got up?"

"I've gotten up long ago." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "You can drive to pick me up later."

"Your house is too small, and it's time to change to a big house. With a helipad, Mr. Alfaim's private jet can pick you up directly." Mendes said.

Zhang Yang laughed and hung up the phone. His house was a villa with two floors, a garden, a swimming pool, a gym, and an underground garage of more than 70 square meters. The area was about 800 square meters. Just this, Zhang Yang felt it was too deserted. There was a big house with a helipad? Of course Zhang Yang could afford it, but there was really no need for this now.

Before breakfast was finished, Mendes arrived. He would drive Zhang Yang to a private airport. They would meet with club chairman Alfaim and team coach Mark Hughes, and take the private jet of Manchester City club chairman Alfaim to Nyon, Switzerland to participate in the draw of the 16th draw in the 2009/2010 Champions League season.

Generally speaking, if you participate in the group draw, the team's head coach and the club's general manager will go there. The reason why Zhang Yang goes with him is also the request of club chairman Alfaim. If you want to talk about who the most famous star in Manchester City club is now, it is natural that Zhang Yang must be. Zhang Yang's trip to the draw can also help Manchester City expand its influence. You must know that this is a super star envied and coveted by many super giants for a long time.

Real Madrid President Florentino once said that now, the most dazzling star is missing from his second generation of Galaxy Battleship puzzle. Obviously, who is the most dazzling star Florentino mentioned? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Yang is referring to.

In the afternoon of the same day, the auditorium of the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland shone with stars. Head coaches from various wealthy families and some football celebrities gathered to hold the draw ceremony for the 2009-2010 Champions League round of 16.

The 1/8 finals continue the situation of the confrontation between Italy and Britain last season. The two Milan players will face two Premier League teams, Chelsea and Manchester United. The Serie A team is undoubtedly the most tragic. The two Milan players meet Manchester United and Chelsea who have reached the semi-finals for three consecutive seasons, while Fiorentina meets the Bundesliga overlord Bayern. The three Serie A teams can be said to be at a disadvantage. It is not a strange thing that there will be no Serie A team in the quarterfinals. Of course, Manchester United and Chelsea have no confidence in winning against two Milans.

Ligue 1 and La Liga have relatively good draws. Ligue 1 Bordeaux meets Olympiacos, the weakest group, while Lyon encounters Real Madrid, and the opponent looks strong, but the smile of Lyon chairman Otra after the draw shows the satisfaction of Lyon people. La Liga Real Madrid is not unfamiliar with Lyon, while Barcelona and Sevilla both draw second in a relatively weak group.

As for Manchester City's opponent, after the draw results came out, the relaxed expressions on the faces of Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes and the young captain of the team can be seen. This is a good draw, and Manchester City's opponent in one-eighth of the game is Porto!

For Manchester City, it should be acceptable to be able to avoid Inter Milan and AC Milan and avoid Sevilla, who is strong and draw Porto, which is relatively weak.

After the draw of the one-eighth match came out, it immediately became the focus of attention throughout Europe.

"Milan Sports Daily" immediately analyzed the draw and listed the four highlights of the one-eighth knockout round.

The first highlight is: Inter Milan head coach Mourinho faces Chelsea boss Abramovich! For the arrogant Mourinho, he must have the idea of ​​revenge for Abramovich who swept himself out. If Inter Milan can lead him to eliminate Chelsea in this game, he will definitely feel refreshed. This is also the third consecutive season of Inter Milan to meet Premier League teams in the round of 16. The first two encounters Liverpool and Manchester United failed to score one goal in four games. The so-called three things are just a matter of time. The Milan Sports Daily firmly believes whether Inter Milan can wade through the Premier League this time.

The second highlight is: Beckham, who is now playing for AC Milan, returns to Old Trafford! Before the draw ceremony, the speculations of Beckham returning to Old Trafford were endless. Now it has become a fact, and this will definitely become the focus of the game. For Beckham himself, being able to kiss Big Ears again is his biggest dream in the club. Manchester United encountered Milan four times in the Champions League knockout round and were eliminated, which is the biggest advantage of Milan and Beckham.

The third highlight is: whether Real Madrid can return to the Champions League quarterfinals! For five consecutive years, Real Madrid was eliminated in the Champions League 1/8 knockout stage. This time, Lyon was not weak, but it was not very strong. Real Madrid spent more than 200 million euros to sign up in the summer. The two superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, are obviously the goal of Real Madrid is the Champions League, but for the "New Galaxy Battleship", it is hard to say whether they can break through Lyon, because last season, Real Madrid was defeated by Roma, who seemed at a disadvantage in the 1/8 final.

The fourth highlight is: Can Zhang Yang lead Manchester City to continue to move forward! Manchester City won all six games in the group stage, and is the only team among the 32 teams to maintain a complete victory in the group stage. The media exclaimed the madness and incredibility of this "squad built with money". Zhang Yang, the captain who is only 23 years old, can this top superstar in football today lead Manchester City to continue to move forward? They can continue to impress the whole of Europe, which is the focus of people's attention and attention.

Moreover, considering that Manchester City's opponent is Porto, which has relatively weak strength, "Milan Sports" is optimistic that Zhang Yang can lead Manchester City to further: looking at Manchester City's performance in the group stage, they won all six games, including Juventus' two-round victory. There is not much evidence that they will fall at Porto's feet...

After the draw results of the Champions League One Eighth match came out, while people were discussing the prospects of various powerful men in the knockout round, everyone's focus was also on the Zurich Opera House a week later!

The 2009 World Footballer Awards Ceremony will be held at the Zurich Opera House, Switzerland on 12.22.

The FIFA World Footballer selection is different from the European Golden Globe Awards. The results were announced in advance, while the FIFA selection was not known who was the first before the final award ceremony.

Therefore, the media also joked that if Zhang Yang really had the courage, he might as well not even attend the World Football Awards Ceremony.

Of course, this is just a joke. Zhang Yang could not do this.

Now, there is still a week before the World Footballer Awards Ceremony. Although it is still unknown who will win the award in the end, both the media and the fans obviously have an understanding and a positive understanding of the point.

The 2009 World Footballer Competition will still be held among the three superstars.

Zhang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!

Zhang Yang's advantage lies in his strength in his personal ability. He is the Golden Boot of the Premier League, with 36 goals. This is the craziest scorer in the Premier League history. At the same time, the feat of scoring seven goals in a single game also shocked the world! At the same time, Zhang Yang led the Manchester City Mercenary Group, which was rushing to build last summer, was able to beat Arsenal and qualify for the Champions League! Moreover, in this season's Champions League, Manchester City won all six games in the group stage and ranked second in the league. Such a result is a miracle for Manchester City, which was a mid- and lower-level team more than a year ago! Objectively speaking, Zhang Yang's achievements are no less than winning the Champions League championship in giants. Some media even said that this is even much more difficult than winning the Champions League championship in a team like Barcelona. Well, most of the English media said this.

In addition, Zhang Yang was the second place in the World Footballer last year. After his slight advantage, many people have already stood up for Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's advantage is at the club level, and he is also his biggest weakness at the national team level. Because he has had a falling out with the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Yang has not played a game on behalf of the Chinese team so far. Although this sounds horrifying, a star of Zhang Yang's level has never played on behalf of the national team, but this is the fact!

Therefore, even the English media are sighing that the national team level is the biggest shortcoming of Zhang Xing.

Of course, Zhang Yang's competitors Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi's performance in the country can only be said to be average. However, unlike Zhang Yang, they are both core stars of their respective national teams. Their performance is mainly concentrated at the club level.

Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to the Premier League championship in the 2008/2009 season. Messi won the 2008/2009 season with Barcelona. Both of them are champion players, which is their biggest advantage compared to Zhang Yang.

However, the English media insisted that Zhang Yang is not impossible to defeat Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

The voting rights of FIFA World Footballer are among the head coaches and captains of various national teams. The biggest basis for national head coaches and captains to vote for such national head coaches and captains, such as Benin, Guyana, etc., is not the performance of this star in this year, but the fame of that star!

2007 World Footballer No. 3!

2008 World Footballer No. 2!

Mr. 75 million pounds! He once created the highest value in the world!

The magic of scoring seven goals in a single game!

Serie A champion!

The Ligue 1 Golden Boots, Serie A Golden Boots, and Premier League Golden Boots are all obtained by breaking records.

Breaking the Champions League goal record for two consecutive years!

According to the English media, although Zhang Yang is now in Manchester City, when it comes to fame, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi dare not say that they are bigger than Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang has long become a superhero in football. Although football is a collective sport, it is also an era of advocating heroes. Zhang Yang's performance has won him a huge reputation worldwide.

The Times even joked that Zhang Yang's unruly character also helped Zhang Yang be more famous than Messi to some extent.

So, although Messi is the Champions League champion, Cristiano Ronaldo is the Premier League champion, and Xavi and Iniesta are the European Cup champions! However, speaking of fame, as well as the voices of fans and the media, the air is no less than that.

This is also the reason why the World Footballer is even more suspenseful

The views of "Milan Sports" also represent the views of the Italian arena where Zhang Yang once played: Zhang Yang in the 2007/2008 season was already perfect, Zhang Yang in 2008 should be the World Footballer, and Zhang Yang in 2008 should be the winner of the European Golden Globe Award. This year, Zhang Yang regrettedly passed by the Golden Globe Award with an extremely weak advantage. This time, Mr. World Footballer is the best compliment for this young man's perfect performance in these seasons. Zhang Yang is qualified to compete for Mr. World Footballer, and the world football world also owes Zhang Yang a World Footballer.
Chapter completed!
