Last season, Dong Fangzhuo led Inter Milan to the Champions League, league and Coppa Italia treble, and after the Champions League final, Inter coach Jose Mourinho praised his favorite player: "I think he is the best star on the planet, and this victory proves that he is the best in the world." ”
Outside the football field, Dong Fangzhuo's appearance doesn't look like a superstar at all, but more like a simple boy next door. But on the pitch, he's got lightning-fast pace, crazy dribbling, amazing shooting, and he always delivers the killing blow when it counts.
Last season, he scored 17 goals in the Champions League, 30 in the league and 54 in the Coppa Italia.
Although only 24 years old, Dong Fangzhuo already has 3 league titles (2 in the Premier League and 1 in Serie A), 2 Champions League trophies and 1 Coppa Italia, 3 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, and it is believed that in the near future, the honor of World Footballer of the Year will also be for him.

"In the long history of Inter Milan, only two people have won the Ballon d'Or before, one is Mateus in 1990, and the other is Ronaldo in 1997, and Ronaldo won it because of his outstanding performance in Barcelona, and Dong is a genuine production of Inter Milan."
Mr. Moratti, who was sitting next to him, smiled happily, "Maybe, next year, we can get another one." ”
"If Inter wins the Champions League again, I'll retire."
"Mr. President," Belgomi's face froze when he heard this.
"You're not kidding, are you?"
"It's been 15 years, and if I get my wish again, I think I should really leave, and always leave the opportunity to the young people."
Moratti smiled freely, and since winning the Champions League, his whole person has changed.
Bergomi's face softened, and after taking a serious look at Moratti again, he found that Moratti was already full of gray hair, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

When he first came to Inter Milan, Moratti was still full of black hair and high spirits.
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is already full of gray hair......
Perhaps, it's time to leave.
He couldn't figure it out himself.
The cheers on the pitch were still heard for a long time, and the Inter fans were still cheering for their heroes.
"We're going to win the Club World Cup."
Moratti suddenly regained a serious expression.
"Can't be separated from perfection, a little ......"

"The goalkeeper is Cesar,"
"Defenders McConn, Materazzi, Lucio, Thornton,"
'Sneijder, Patrick Vieira, Zanetti, Sneijder, Dong, Balotelli, all play.
"Milito has recovered from the cold and he will be on the bench."
