Chapter 1269

There used to be a "Grand Slam" saying in European football circle, which means that the team has won the championship in the three major European cups, so it is called a grand slam team.

The Champions League, the winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup have led European football for 40 years, including 28 years of existence. During this period, the three cups have always been the goal of all teams.

In the past 40 years, there have always been some teams at the top of the football food chain, and they are called "big teams". It is reasonable to say that in such a long period of time, these giants should have three cups. However, No.

"Yoabay"! That's it. Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich are the only three Grand Slam teams so far. Of course, whether Barcelona is a "Grand Slam" is controversial. Barcelona has one European Championship and four European champions, but has never won the UEFA Cup.

Barcelona are not satisfied because they have three "Expo cups". The Expo cup is regarded as the predecessor of the League Cup. The two events happened to die in 1971. However, UEFA does not recognize the Expo cup because it is a "private event" similar to the previous Toyota Cup, rather than the official authorization of UEFA.

In any case, there are only three or four Grand Slam teams. With the European Cup of winners dying in 1999, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Porto, Benfica and other giants will no longer have a chance of Grand Slam, because what they lack is the winner's cup that they have been through.

AC Milan is not a grand slam either. The Rossoneri have only seven Champions League ears and two winners' cups. However, they still have a chance of a grand slam because Milan are short of a UEFA Cup.

From the World Club Cup (Toyota Cup) to all kinds of Super Cups, from domestic to European and international, AC Milan almost won all the club's awards, indulged in the flowers, but failed to win the UEFA Cup.

In the 36 years since the founding of the UEFA Cup in 1971, AC Milan have competed for the Champions League in 19 seasons, participated in the winner's Cup three times and watched for 10 seasons. There have been four UEFA Cup appearances, but in these four appearances, let alone winning, AC Milan have not even made the final, the best result is only the top four in the 01-02 season.

Four times of competition failed to win the championship, in fact, it was very normal in the whole elimination competition, and in the history of the coexistence of the three cups, the league cup itself had the lowest influence among them. After all, it was a game where losers talked to console themselves, and traditional giants took the opportunity to rest or upgrade. For AC Milan, the day after the second place in the UEFA Cup and the victory over Rosenberg, AC Milan officially announced the decision: this season's competitive goal is to win the UEFA Cup, and the Serie A League will guarantee two to four.

The aim of the league's two contests and four contests is not to lose the qualification of the Champions League next season. The difference is only whether we need to start from the qualification competition. For a club like AC Milan, the absence of the Champions League with rich income for two consecutive years will bring great inconvenience to the operation. Not only will the direct dividend from UEFA, but also the sponsorship amount of sponsors and the development of various business activities will be greatly affected. Mingxing's recruitment will also be rejected by the other side, which will form a vicious circle if it is not done well.

So the club changed the season goal this time, and it became a happy thing for everyone. The players don't have to spit their blood and tear their hearts and lungs to catch up with Inter Milan. There is no special stubble in the UEFA Cup. In the current stage of Ronaldo's injury and Inzaghi's low flowering period, it will undoubtedly make everyone relaxed.

As for Zhuoyang, he has two UEFA Cup champions, and he has surpassed AC Milan and many big teams in this regard. So, whether he can win the championship or not is not very attractive to him, but he is still interested in the best shooter.

In Serie A, Zhuoyang, who has upgraded his shooting boots, has scored 27 goals, which is enough to be the best striker in normal years. In this way, Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic and Mutu had already given up their thoughts, and Totti only scored 7 goals. The suspense in Serie A this season is not whether Zhuoyang can win the best striker, but whether he can break the Serie A single season goal record.

Zhuoyang also tops the league cup with nine goals, and it's stable to walk forward casually. Although it's not realistic to break his own record of 27 goals in 2004-05 season, it's Zhuoyang's competition with himself and nothing to do with others.

Best striker, that's the right attitude for striker Zhuoyang.
