Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Chapter 708 A Rising Star Emerges from Portugal

Manchester City clinches the Premier League title!

And the five major European football leagues have finally all come to an end.

The only three competitions that have not yet ended are the Champions League final on May 25th.

The Europa League final on May 22nd.

And the FA Cup final on May 18th.

As previously mentioned, the Portuguese league's domestic double champion this year is Porto.

Moreover, Porto players have almost swept all the major awards in the Portuguese league.

Didier Drogba scored 20 goals, beating his teammate McCarthy to win the Portuguese league's Golden Boot.

Deco's 17 assists put him far ahead of the rest of the Portuguese league's assist leader list, earning him the title for the second consecutive year.

People are now almost traumatized by the Portuguese league's top assist provider.

After all, the last player to win the Portuguese league assist title so consistently was Deng Kai!

Deco was thus named the Portuguese league's best player of the season and led the Portuguese league's best XI.

Drogba, Pepe, Veloso, Evra, Vidic, Reyna and others were also selected for the squad.

Pepe, thanks to the team's outstanding performance, narrowly defeated his former teammate Vidic to win the Portuguese league's best defender award.

Unlike the Portuguese league's dominant position this year, the Dutch league is a fierce battleground, with teams fighting each other fiercely.

The Dutch Eredivisie champions are Ajax, led by Dutch talents such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Rafael van der Vaart, and Wesley Sneijder.

The Dutch Cup champions are Utrecht.

However, the Eredivisie Golden Boot did not go to either of these two teams, but to PSV Eindhoven's Kezman.

This season, Kezman and last season's Eredivisie Rookie of the Year Arjen Robben have teamed up to dominate, earning them the nickname "Batman and Robin" for PSV Eindhoven!

Kezman himself scored a staggering 31 goals, making him the top scorer in the league this season.

According to the rules prior to 2000, he would be eligible to win this year's European Golden Boot.

However, starting in 2000, the goal coefficient for the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the Dutch Eredivisie was changed to 1.5.

Jardel and Ronaldo are able to outshine the top strikers in the top five leagues with their sheer number of goals.

But Kezman clearly couldn't do it.

Because three freaks have emerged in the Premier League this year!

Even so, Kezman's goal-scoring ability is still quite frightening.

Behind him are a host of talented strikers such as Kuyt, Ibrahimovic, and Van Persie.

This player also has a deep connection with the Chinese team.

When Kezman first represented Serbia in an international competition in 2000, he scored a goal in a friendly match against China, which helped him establish himself in the team.

That same year, he made an appearance at the European Championship, but was sent off after only 44 seconds on the field as a substitute, setting a minor record.

In the future, the last stop of his professional career will be the Xiangjiang Nanhua Football Club in China, where he will announce his retirement.

The Eredivisie assist leader is Barry van Gealent, known as the "Zackmar Magician," who provided thirteen assists.

He outshone Van der Vaart, Robben, Sneijder, and other prodigies, proving that even in his old age, he remains vigorous and capable.

Within the top five European football leagues.

Lyon will undoubtedly be the Ligue 1 champions.

They have won the Ligue 1 title for four consecutive years.

Moreover, they also won the French Cup, demonstrating unparalleled dominance in France.

However, the Ligue 1 Golden Boot goes to Djibril Cissé of Auxerre, who has scored 26 goals in Ligue 1 and two goals in the UEFA Cup.

Lille: You see, isn't Lille still here?

The top assist providers in Ligue 1 are Jérôme Rothen of Monaco and Fabrizio of Paris Saint-Germain.

Both players had nine assists.

However, starting next season, Ligue 1 may be relegated to the sixth-ranked league in the world by the Portuguese league.

Then the goal and assist statistics will be reduced by 20%.

While the status of Ligue 1 as the fifth-best league in the world has been controversial in recent years, many people consider it, along with the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the Dutch Eredivisie, to be one of the three smaller leagues.

The Bundesliga's status as the fourth-best league in the world is beyond question.

After reclaiming the throne, Bayern Munich successfully defended their title this season, winning the league championship once again.

However, the German Cup went to Werder Bremen.

Bayern Munich star, Brazilian international on the fringes, and lightning-fast Elton has been on fire this season, scoring 28 goals to become the Bundesliga's top scorer.

But even this renowned super striker, let alone starting for the Brazilian national team, often couldn't even make the 23-man squad.

Ronaldo alone has overshadowed so many top strikers!

Sadly.

The Bundesliga's top assist providers are Bayern Munich's Ballack and Bayer Leverkusen's Franza, both with thirteen assists.

Compared to the chaos in the Bundesliga, Serie A is relatively unified this year.

Or rather... this year is the year C Milan rises!

They continued their form from last season's Champions League campaign, winning both the Serie A title and the Italian Cup this season!

Shevchenko won the Serie A Golden Boot with 24 goals.

Kaka's 15 goals and 12 assists have firmly secured his place as C Milan's starting attacking midfielder!

Deng Kai and Rui Costa, Ronaldo's senior in the national team, can now only play second fiddle to me.

However, Kaká is not the top assist provider in Serie A.

Inter Milan's midfield maestro Viana avenged his national teammate Costa by providing thirteen assists, surpassing Kaká to become the Serie A assist king.

Inter Milan's performance in all competitions this year has actually been quite good.

If they hadn't faced the formidable Manchester City, reaching the UEFA Cup final wouldn't have been impossible.

But right now it's only a semi-finalist.

Compared to their neighboring C Milan, who had enjoyed two consecutive years of success, Inter Milan's performance was somewhat lackluster.

But that's precisely why Inter Milan fans are even more enthusiastic about the possibility of Adriano's return!

They already have the four best engines in all of Europe (the four top engines), now all they need is an Italian cannon from Brazil!

Ukraine's nuclear warhead Shevchenko certainly intimidated Serie A.

But Adriano is also the best in the Premier League this season!

In contrast, the most disappointing league this year has to be La Liga.

The most disappointing team is none other than Real Madrid.

Let's not even talk about Barcelona.

Barcelona has clearly been in a period of turmoil for the past two years, and its coaching strategy is not clear.

Although they have found the true core player Ronaldinho and have a flying general like Quaresma to assist them, the team's overall cohesion is still lacking that final push.

Real Madrid boasts four Ballon d'Or winners: Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, and Raul!

In addition, there are two superstars, Carlos and Beckham, who finished second in the Ballon d'Or.

Such a stellar lineup, yet they are neither La Liga champions, nor Copa del Rey champions, nor Champions League champions.

It can be said that all four elements are empty.

The only consolation is that none of the aforementioned honors are related to Barcelona.

The La Liga champions are Valencia CF.

As Spain's most impressive team this season, they are about to face Manchester City in the UEFA Cup final for the second most prestigious European trophy!
