Chapter 748 The dust settles at the end of the season

In this passionate month of May, European football will definitely have its sixth Triple Crown. AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​who met in the Champions League final, were the two best performing teams this season and also won their respective domestic league and cup doubles.

AC Milan won the Serie A championship and the Italian Football Association Cup, and Barcelona achieved double dominance in Spain before them. Two days before Milan defeated Sampdoria, Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 4:1 in the Copa del Rey final to win the title. In terms of the league championship, Barcelona also settled earlier than Milan. They were two rounds ahead of schedule.

In this way, following Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV in 1988, Manchester United in 1999 and Madiburg in 2006, world football has opened its eyes and is waiting for the sixth third-place finisher. The birth of the crown king.

The 2008-09 Serie A season is all over. In the last round, Ancelotti took a group of substitutes to the away game and played a friendly match with Fiorentina, who also had no desire for anything. In the penultimate round, AC Milan reversed Roma 4:3 at home to win the championship, and Fiorentina also stabbed Lecce 2:1 at home. As a result, the miserable person became Roma. After that round, Fiorentina was 5 points ahead of Roma in the competition for fourth place with 65 points, and Genoa also took the opportunity to catch up with 61 points ahead of Roma. After the penultimate round, the top four spots have been completely settled.

The substitutes continued AC Milan's brilliant season. Goals from Shevchenko and Borriello gave Milan a perfect 2:0 ending. The dust of the season has settled. AC Milan has 89 points with 26 wins, 11 draws and one loss, Inter Milan has 85 points, Juventus has 72 points, Fiorentina has 65 points and Genoa has 64 points. Roma sadly finished sixth. Not only did they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League, but even the UEFA Cup can only start from the qualifying rounds, while fifth-place Genoa and FA Cup runner-up Sampdoria directly entered the league. Cup group stage.

By the way, the UEFA Cup will be reformed next season and its name will be changed to the Europa League. On May 21, Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine defeated Werder Bremen 2:1 at the Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul, winning the last UEFA Cup championship and marking the beginning of the 38-year history of the UEFA Cup. Full stop. However, although the name has been changed, people still habitually refer to it as the ‘UEFA Cup’.

Inzaghi became the top scorer in Serie A with 36 goals, beating Zhuo Yang's 35, and is also the top scorer in Europe this season. In the long history of Serie A, the 36 goals are second only to Zhuoyang's 47 single-season goal record last season, and exceed the 35 goals of Milan's legendary striker Nordahl. Milan's records are always broken only by the Milanese themselves. Many reporters are asking Zhuoyang: Why did you pass a single pass to Inzaghi in the last minute against Roma?

Zhuoyang's answer was: At that time, Jiuye pushed the empty goal with a much higher probability of scoring than me passing the goalkeeper and shooting. Milan needed to win.

He has always answered this way for many years since then, but only he himself knows what he was thinking at that moment, and maybe Master Jiu also knows.

Kaka scored 21 goals this season, which was his second-highest income since winning the top scorer in the 06-07 season, but he could only rank sixth in the scorer list. Behind Jiuye and Zhuoyang, Ibrahimovic ranked third with 25 goals, and Milito and Di Vayo scored 24 goals together.

Zhuoyang won Serie A's best player MVP and best foreign aid for the third consecutive year, and Inzaghi became the best player in Serie A Oscar (the best in Italy). Among the best lineups, champion AC Milan took six seats and accounted for half of the total.

Inzaghi, Ibrahimovic; Zhuoyang, Kaka, Flamini, Cambiasso; Chiellini, Mexes, Maicon, Maldini; goalkeeper Cesar.

In this best lineup, Pengpeng David Luiz is somewhat disadvantaged. His average score is higher than that of the Cavaliers and Maicon, but at center back he is not as good as Jiaojiao and Mexes. As for the performance at right back, Maicon Kong is indeed number one in Serie A. If the cavalry team is selected, there will be some emotional bonus in it.

It is also co-authored that the performance of left backs in Serie A this season is generally mediocre, so the left back of the best team is given to the greatest left back in football history, Paolo Maldini.

Although Zhuo Yang failed to win the top scorer again, and the 35 goals seemed to have dropped significantly compared to his 47 goals last season, he once again set a new high in Serie A assists, with 25 assists exceeding 06-07 when he first entered Serie A. 24 times this season.

How demanding is the calculation of assists in Serie A? Take a look at Fini (Cagliari, 13 times) who ranks second in the assists list, Cassano (Sampdoria, 12 times) in third, and Andrei in fourth. Cosu (Cagliari, 10 times) will know.

After coming to Serie A for three seasons, Zhuoyang monopolized the assists king for three years. When he found the most reasonable and comfortable posture between goals and assists in the 2008-09 season, AC Milan became the Apennine double champion.

In terms of other leagues, La Liga goes without saying. Barcelona is proud of the Iberian Peninsula and Real Madrid is empty-handed again. After Schuster was dismissed due to poor record in the middle of the season, Juande Ramos, who came on board in a hurry, failed to save Real Madrid. In the summer, Real Madrid also needs to find a new coach.

Manchester United won the Premier League title again. Although Franck Ribery was injured, Chelsea stopped the decline with Hiddink's rescue and ended up in third place. They secured their place in the Champions League next season and defeated Everton to win the Champions League. In the FA Cup, what Ancelotti inherited was by no means a mess.

The Bundesliga is more lively, and no one thought that Bayern Munich would be left empty-handed. Uncle Zha's Fort Madi made rapid progress in the second half of the schedule, but unexpectedly encountered Wolfsburg, who was hanging up. In the end, they trailed Wolfsburg by two points and finished second. Bayern was squeezed into third place.

Wolfsburg's win was quite an upset, but Madiburg's 1:0 victory over Leverkusen to win the German Cup was nothing short of an upset. Madibao finally had its first championship trophy in the third year after Zhuoyang left, and Zhuoyang was very happy.

Troll Gomez became the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 29 goals. He finally fulfilled his dream of being the top scorer. But in the German Cup, it was Ibisevic who took the lead. He scored 8 goals, plus 18 in the league. Counting that Ibisevic was out for nearly three months due to injuries, in fact, his More efficient than trolls.

The best players in each of the five major leagues in the 2008-09 season: Zhuo Yang in Serie A, Cristiano Ronaldo in Premier League, Messi in La Liga, Grafite (Wolfsburg) in Bundesliga, and Gourcuff (Bordeaux) in French Liga.

Gourcuff became popular, and he was loaned back to Ligue 1 by AC Milan and became the core of Bordeaux's midfield. His double-double record of 12 goals and 13 assists helped the team beat Marseille, Lyon and Paris. Saint-Germain contributed a lot to winning the championship. There is news that Leonardo is urging Gourcuff to be taken back, but he himself is unwilling to do so.

All major European leagues have come to an end, and all eyes are focused on the final game of the season-the Champions League final. This is the battle of the kings between AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​and it is also Maldini's farewell battle. It was a battle that Ronaldinho struggled with, and it was also a battle that Zhuo Yang and Messi named 2009.
