Zheng Zhi actually paid attention to this matter. However, he found a little different point. According to the result of the original world, Figo was the first, and there was no Zidane. The second place should be Beckham, which has changed now. The reason why Figo won the first place back then was because Figo later led Real Madrid to the Club World Cup, but now it was Leverkusen who participated in the Club World Cup. Without Real Madrid, Figo naturally could not add points. Zidane went to Real Madrid again, and even snatched a certain score. With the European Cup championship, Zidane naturally became Zidane ranked third.

If Zheng Zhi was still at Leverkusen and led Leverkusen to the Club World Cup, he might have a greater probability. However, this matter would have become simpler in Zheng Zhi's teammate Ronaldo. He said bluntly in an interview with Sky Sports TV: "I think Zheng has the greatest probability of winning the Golden Ball Award."

"Zidane and Figo must have diverted the votes, and Zheng will definitely benefit in the end."

Of course, he stood on Zheng Zhi's side and spoke for Zheng Zhi, "In my opinion, it is incredible that a core player led the team to the triple-champion and failed to win the Golden Globe, especially when other players don't have enough performance."

I wonder if his words would have made his national teammate Rivaldo feel unanimous when he heard them. Didn’t Rivaldo kill Beckham last year? But at that time, Beckham was not the core of Manchester United…

"Zheng has all the qualifications and achievements. In Leverkusen, he is the absolute commander on the court, and the same goes for Inter Milan. In the Chinese team, he led the team to the Asian Cup. As a teammate, we will definitely help him play the following games and allow him to successfully counterattack!"

"The difficulty of being elected is increasing now. People used to be puzzled by Brazilian football stars, but now? African stars also have the strength to compete for the Golden Ball. This time it's Asia's turn. I think Zheng Zhi is the best at the moment."

Faced with Ronaldo's big boast, Zheng Zhi kept a low profile. He only expressed his opinion in an interview with "Milan Sports": "It is always a pleasure to have a person's work recognized and respected by people, but at this moment I only think about how to deal with Vicenza. We are already 5 points behind Rome, and we can't be careless anymore. I just want to help Inter Milan narrow the points gap with Rome, and our goal is still the league championship."

Although Zheng Zhi is low-key, the Italian media cannot be low-key. Although Zheng Zhi only belongs to Inter Milan, he also belongs to the entire Italy. If Zheng Zhi wins the Golden Ball Award, it will be a huge honor for the entire Italian football. Therefore, they must shout for Zheng Zhi and canvass the votes.

So the Italian media have been reporting Zheng Zhi positively in the past few days and canvassing votes for Zheng Zhi.

"Milan Sports", "Roman Sports" and "Turin Sports" all jumped out.

"Milan Sports Daily" directly posted the honors of the three people - Zheng Zhi: Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, Champions League champion, Champions League best player, Champions League best midfielder, Bundesliga best player, Bundesliga first assister, Asian Cup champion, Asian Cup best player.

——Zidane: European Cup champion, European Cup best player.

——Figo:0.

It’s clear at a glance that Figo’s worst is, with 0 data directly, and the semi-finals of the European Cup are not considered a result. With such a comparison, shouldn’t Zheng Zhi win the Golden Globe?

"Roman Sports" quoted a sentence that Zheng Zhi said before during the Asian Cup: It is a crime not to award the Golden Globe Award to Zheng Zhi!

The Turin Sports Daily is also very objective - although Zidane performed well, Zheng Zhi was undoubtedly even better this year.

With his eyes returning to the Serie A arena from the European arena, Inter Milan will challenge Vicenza away on the weekend. Logically speaking, this should be a boy who gives away points. Except for the seven Serie A sisters, these teams should all get three points directly. However, Inter Milan's performance of winning, drawing and losing in the previous three games was too ugly, and many people still expressed concerns about this.

And "Milan Sports" launched a survey on its website - what do you think is the best partner for Inter Milan's forward line?

Ronaldo, Vieri

Ronaldo, Adriano

Ronaldo, Recoba

Recoba, Adriano

Recoba, Vieri

Adriano, Vieri

Ronaldo, Zheng Zhi.

A total of 11,034 fans participated in the voting, and the number of players who chose the 7th reached 73%. This survey result was completely beyond Mourinho's expectations. When he read the survey, he was very happy.

Putting Zheng Zhi on the front line is a temporary move. He never intended to really let Zheng Zhi play the forward, but it seems that fans are really looking forward to Zheng Zhi and Ronaldo forming a defensive partner. Only fools will put Zheng Zhi on the front line. Zheng Zhi has the ability to score goals, but his greatest ability is definitely the midfielder, and not the front midfielder, but the back midfielder. With balanced offense and defense, he is the best candidate for the back midfielder. As long as Pirlo returns to the team healthily, Pirlo is still the first choice for the front midfielder.

A big victory over Monaco did not make Mourinho light. He would not play in the 4231 formation unless he had no choice. 4312 was his first choice. So this can only be the wish of the fans...

On Thursday morning, when Pirlo returned to the team, Pirlo certainly appeared in the front midfielder position, and Zheng Zhi also returned to the back midfielder position.

This is true for three consecutive days of training.

Mourinho admitted at the pre-match press conference on Sunday,

"I was surprised by the fans' choice, but it was reasonable that he was so good at playing forward."

"Zheng is also world-class in the forward position, but we already have four world-class forwards, and we need him to appear in the midfield. He is the commander of the team. He should play the role of the commander. Scoring goals is Ronaldo and the others' mission. He is the midfield, not the forward, and I hope everyone will not be confused."

"I can't lose points anymore. We are now 5 points behind the top. We must start from this game and chase them. Roma will always lose the game, just like they lost to us. In Serie A, no team is the ever-winning general. This week, Roma will face a test."

"The Florentines would welcome Rome in the most craziest way, just as they treated Batti."

How to treat Bati? The fans of the Purple Legion destroyed the bronze statue that was cast for him a few days ago, and vented their anger and disappointment at his departure. This is how they welcomed Bati home.

Batistuta, who played for Fiorentina for nine seasons, has an unparalleled position in the minds of fans. One of the more enthusiastic fans sent people to look for craftsmen to cast bronze statues for Bati to show their extreme admiration for the Argentine shooter. This golden bronze statue, the same size as the life-size, is modeled to imitate Batistuta's celebration movement when he scored the goal, shaking the corner flag with one hand. The steps below the bronze statue also read "A warrior who never compromises, moves forward bravely and loyally."

Although the bronze statue successfully resisted the erosion of wind and rain, Fiorentine fans finally could not accept that the bronze statue of a player who had left the team was erected outside the stadium. Several angry fans recently cut off the head of the bronze statue and moved all the other cut-off parts, completely denying Batistuta's contribution to the team for many years.

Vicen checked the locker room away, and Ronal stood up and spoke: "Guys,"

“It’s not just a battle for the league title,”

"It's also the battle to help Zheng win the Golden Globes,"

"From today, we will do our best to win the opponent and get more votes for Zheng!"

Zheng Zhi didn't expect Ronaldo to stand up and shout for him again, and he was a little moved. Well, actually, Ronaldo is also for himself. If Zidane wins the Golden Ball again, then Zidane will only have two Golden Ball Awards, and he is only one. Faced with this strongest opponent who defeated him in 1998, Ronaldo certainly hopes that Zheng Zhi can win, not Zidane...

"Pass the ball to me, I'll help you with assists!" As he walked onto the court, Ronaldo said to Zheng Zhi earnestly.

"hehe……"

At 16:30, Florence vs Rome, Vicenza vs Inter Milan started the war at the same time.

Roma indeed encountered a sniper in Fiorentina and the game was quite difficult. However, at the Vicenza Monti Stadium, Inter Milan was full of momentum. Inter Milan took the lead in the game and suppressed Vicenza and beat him.

The Brazilian striker combination composed of Adriano and Ronaldo rushed left and right, and Vicenza's defense was destroyed after just ten minutes.

In the 11th minute, Zheng Zhi initiated an attack in the backcourt and handed the ball to Pirlo in front. Pirlo scored a full moon-like arc ball into the left side. Adriano kept stopping the ball and shot directly with his left foot. The ball was straight at the upper left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Vicenza had no reaction at all.

Five minutes later, the terrified Vicenza was hit again. This time, Zheng Zhi personally gave Ronaldo a straight pass with a scalpel, and Ronaldo once again achieved the feat of scoring a single goal.

In the first half, Ronaldo tripped by the opponent's defender in the penalty area and won the chance to score a penalty. As a result, Ronaldo did not take the penalty, but gave the penalty to Zheng Zhi, who scored it in one go.

In just 45 minutes, he scored one goal and one assist. It seems that even the goddess of luck is on Zheng Zhi's side.

In the second half, Inter Milan still controlled the situation on the court. In the 64th minute, Ronaldo was tripped in the opponent's penalty area again and got another penalty.

Without any surprises, Ronaldo gave in again and Zheng Zhi scored twice!

"this……"

Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines at the time, decided not to replace Zheng Zhi in advance and let him play the whole game! Can he not understand what Ronaldo means? As the team coach, he must support Zheng Zhi even more.

As a result, before the end of the game, Zheng Zhi scored another assist, and Zheng Zhi reciprocated and gave Ronaldo another assist.

Two goals and two assists were the game he contributed the most to join Inter Milan, although the other two goals were given to him by Ronaldo.

After the game, Ronaldo told the media, "Let the penalty kick?"

"Yes, I deliberately gave him two penalty kicks. I hope he can win the Golden Ball Award. Of course, what I want to tell you more is that I don't care about playing penalty kicks, because I don't need to play penalty kicks now, and Zheng can also give me a lot of assists. Relatively speaking, he needs more goals, and I need more assists."
