Golden Greenery

?　　2016 is the year of the monkey. Foreigners naturally do not have the concept of the zodiac, but this year also happens to be the ‘black swan year’ that Europeans talk about once every 12 years.

This topic will start from 1992, 24 years ago. At that time, the Premier League was also called the English Premier League. 1992 was the last year of the League. Leeds United became the last champion, and then entered the Premier League era, which is also the era of Sir Alex Ferguson. .

　　 At the 1992 European Cup, Denmark, who replaced Yugoslavia, staged the fairy tale of winning the championship. This was the iconic ‘black swan incident’ that year, and the Chinese were more accustomed to calling it a dark horse.

　　 In 2004, the year was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

　　 Greek mythology won the European Cup, Mourinho’s Porto robbed the Champions League, and the Six Musketeers’ Fort Madi was smashed and won the UEFA Cup as a German second team. Just looking at the color, 2004 is obviously darker than 1992.

　　 In a blink of an eye, 12 years have passed. 2016 should be considered a football year, because this summer there is the 15th European Cup held in France, there is also the Centennial America’s Cup held in the United States, and there are also men’s football matches at the Brazilian Olympics.

　　 So, although it is only in May, it is clear that the top ten football news this year are basically just filling in the blanks, and several things that have happened are enough to qualify for the list.

　　 For example, Zhuo Yang died and resurrected, and Gianni Infantino became the youngest FIFA president in history. These are all news that are sure to enter this year's "Top Ten". If there is no interference from other heavyweight news, the death of Santa Cruyff should be counted as one.

　　 At the end of March this year, John Cruyff died of lung cancer in Barcelona at the age of 68.

　　 Lung cancer was detected in October last year, and it was found to be at an advanced stage. By February of this year, Cruyff's condition had improved for a while, when he jokingly said to the outside world: I currently lead cancer 2:0.

　　 But in the end, it was still a reversal of the illness that defeated him.

　　 Cruyff’s contribution to football and his place in football history need not be said, so his death must be a big event.

　　 In the 2016 Black Swan Year, the first black horse has emerged. Leicester City, who was still in the English Championship three seasons ago, occupied the standings for a long time as the deputy squad leader, and finally relegated to the risk of relegation, miraculously won the Premier League championship this season. The Blue Foxes even threw out second place Arsenal by 10 Minute.

　　 There is also a serious class struggle in football. The common people have been rebelling stubbornly under the oppression of the rich. Once the rebellion succeeds, the whole world will cheer.

　　 Overnight, there were many more ‘Thirty Years of Leicester fans’ around the world.

　　Leicester City has made a good start for the Year of the Black Swan, and everyone will continue to wait and see. However, the scenery in other leagues remains the same, and the dominance of the giants is unshakable, which is even more contrasting with Leicester City.

　　 Bundesliga Bayern and Serie A Juventus have won their respective league titles again, and their advantages are extremely obvious. The most exaggerated is Ligue 1 Paris. Their championship points surpassed second place Lyon by 31 points. This is not a dimensional team at all.

　　While La Liga is still the ‘three-strong bullying’, the top three Sa Huang Jing opened the fourth yellow potential Villarreal by more than 20 points.

　　 Real Madrid struggled to catch up in the half and eventually surpassed Atletico Madrid by 2 points, but still fell behind Barcelona by one point and failed to complete the reversal. Barcelona won the championship again.

Zidane’s Real Madrid has performed well enough in the league, especially the last 12 rounds of the game, including the victory over Barcelona, ​​but still the runner-up by one point. You can ask Benitez for reason. go with?

　　 After Benitez left get out of class from Real Madrid, he replaced Maclaren as the Newcastle coach in March of this year. He scored 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the 9-round Premier League. He failed to complete relegation. Benitez will follow Newcastle to the Championship next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 35 goals in La Liga this season. Basically, Messi has only 26. The top scorer in La Liga is Suarez, and Yachasu scored 40. He also became the European gold in the 2015-16 season. Boots.

　　 Burning Detu did not score in the last two rounds. He ranked 11th in the La Liga scorer list with 17 goals. This is also the highest score in his career in scoring. Don't forget, he is a defensive midfielder.

Ibrahimovic 38, Higuain 36, Lewan 30, they became the top scorers in their respective leagues. In comparison, Harry Kane’s 25 goals made the Premier League once again be pressured by West Germany in terms of shooters. One end.

　　 The Premier League’s single-season scoring record is 34, which is maintained by Alan Shearer (93-94) and Andy Cole (94-95), which is also the lowest in the five major leagues.

The scoring records of the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga were all set by Zhuo Yang, respectively, while the Ligue 1 record was set by Yugoslav striker Josip Skoblar in Marseille in the 1970-71 season. 44. It has been in the dust for 45 years.

　　 is as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo and Scar, they only scored 31 goals in the Premier League that year. It can also be seen from this that the Premier League is where the overall strength of the five major leagues is the most balanced. Even if there is the arrogance of Ferguson and Manchester United before, which can occupy the championship list, it will not be able to achieve other teams.

　　Because the strength is relatively balanced, there are not many teams in the Premier League that can let the shooters brush their statistics. For this reason, Zhuo Yang has always believed that his record in Serie A has the highest gold content. There were no underdogs in Serie A at that time.

　　 Now it is different. With the Milan duo's prolonged sluggishness and Juventus dominating Serie A, the only thing that can cause them trouble is Naples~www.ltnovel.com~ but it's just a little trouble.

　　Only the Premier League has always maintained a situation where the champions have been competing. The Premier League’s winning group is also the largest, and the tragic fights filled all corners of the league.

　　 Every league game in the Premier League has a very high ratings. Unlike La Liga, except for Real Madrid, there are few matches between other players.

　　 Therefore, winning fairy tales like Leicester City can almost only happen in the Premier League today. You can't imagine the Spaniard or Vallecano breaking through the iron fence of the'Western Super League' to win the La Liga championship.

　　 In the 2011-12 season, the gangster Atletico can overtake Real Madrid to win the championship, which is already a dark horse.

　　 So after Leicester City, the football team once again turned the eyes of the dark horse to Atletico Madrid. The Champions League final, Real Madrid VS Atletico Madrid, Madrid Derby, is also a repeat of the 13-14 season finals.

　　 In fact, Atletico Madrid can reach the final again this year, and the gold content is higher than that of Real Madrid. The gang eliminated the defending champion Barcelona in the quarter, and defeated previous champion Bayern in the semifinals.

　　 Atletico is indeed still not a giant, but it is by no means grassroots, but they are barely a dark horse in the Champions League. Because Atletico has never won the Big Ears Cup, this is only the second time they have reached the final.

　　 At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon in May 2014, Real Madrid’s No. 18 Zhuo Yang led Real Madrid to destroy Atletico in an overtime 5:1. Two years later, at San Siro in May 2016, the head coach changed from Ancelotti to Zidane, but it was also overtime, and Real Madrid was also saved on the 18th.
