Comments from Canada's "The Globe and Mail" focused on the competitiveness of the league. "Does Manchester United's monopoly harm Premier League? From a business perspective, the answer is exactly the opposite.
Manchester United's dominance brought unprecedented global attention to Premier League, and Zhang Kuang's goal performance made every Manchester United game a global event. UK
The 'monopoly' of 13 championships in more than 20 years has become the biggest selling point of the league. Everyone is looking forward to Manchester City or Chelsea to unseat Manchester United."
Argentina "Olé": "Manchester United won the league, so they can focus more on dealing with UEFA Champions League, and they will face Barcelona in the semifinals.
Therefore, Messi and Barcelona should relax their bodies, prepare carefully, and think of how to deal with Manchester United's terrifying attack power."
Brazil "Lance!" analyzes from a technical perspective. "Zhang Kuang's playing style combines the spirituality of South America football and Europe football efficiency. His acceleration breakthrough is like Ronaldo, his long shot is like Rivaldo, and his free kick is like Ronaldinho.
But more importantly, he integrated these technical elements into a highly disciplined tactical system. The left free man role created by Ferguson for him made him the most terrifying offensive weapon in the history of Premier League."
The comments of Uruguay "El País" were more emotional. "When Zhang Kuang scored with a perfect arc free kick in the 44th minute, the entire South America fans cheered.
The beauty of football transcends national boundaries and language. A China player conquered Premier League with his South America-style footwork on the land of England. This is the charm of football."
China and CCTV immediately broadcast the news that Manchester United won the championship in the post-match news time.
The host was emotional. "This is a historic moment! Manchester United won their 19th top league championship!
What makes China fans even more proud is that Zhang Kuang scored twice in this historic game. With 84 league goals, he became the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of Premier League!
Zhang Kuang won his second league championship after joining Manchester United. Zhang Kuang's performance this season is unprecedented!"
Xinhua News Agency published a long newsletter "From Shenyang to Manchester: A China player's Premier League legend", The article reads, "In the summer of 2010, when Zhang Kuang joined Manchester United with a transfer fee of 3 million euros, many people questioned whether he could adapt to the intensity of Premier League.
Two seasons later, Zhang Kuang has scored 84 league goals, two Premier League championships, a UEFA Champions League trophy (if he can win the championship this season, it will be two UEFA Champions League), Europe Super Cup The results of multiple championships such as and FIFA Club World Cup have answered all doubts. His success is not only a personal glory, but also the pride of China football and even Asia football.
While I am proud, the success of Zhang Kuang breaks the lie of 'race theory' that has been held for many years. Who said that yellow people cannot achieve great achievements in top sports? It's not that yellow people can't, but that with the same nutrition and scientific training, yellow people are no worse than other races."
The comments of "People's Daily" are similar to those of Xinhua News Agency: "Zhang Kuang's success in Manchester United proves that China players are fully capable of establishing themselves in the world's top leagues.
His professional attitude, tactical execution and decisive performance at critical moments are worthy of China football's deep thought. Manchester United's 19 championships are a result of Zhang Kuang's contribution, and the future of China football may also find the answer from Zhang Kuang's growth trajectory."
Japan "Asahi Shimbun" reported with a hint of mixed emotions, "China Player Zhang Kuang's outbreak in Premier League put Japan football under pressure.
Shinji Kagawa performed equally well in Borussia Dortmund, but Zhang Kuang's 84 league goals is a number that all Asia players need to look up to.
Asia Football competition has extended from the national team to the Europe top league stage."
Comments on South Korea's "The Chosun Ilbo" are more analytical. "Zhang Kuang's success is not only a personal talent, but also the victory of Ferguson's tactical system.
The Manchester United 4-3-3 formation created the greatest degree of freedom for Zhang Kuang, and Zhang Kuang repaid Ferguson's trust with an almost terrifying goal efficiency.
This 'player-coach' mutual trust relationship is worth learning from all Asia players. Park Ji-sung is successful in Manchester United, and Zhang Kuang is in Manchester United The outbreak of E illustrates one truth: if Asia players want to gain a foothold in Europe, they not only need strength, but also need to find a coach and system that truly trusts them."
Singapore "Lianhe Zaobao" reported from the market perspective, "Zhang Kuang's 84 league goals have brought Premier League's attention in the Asia market to a new height.
According to statistics, the ratings of Premier League in India this season increased by more than 35% year-on-year, among which the ratings of the Manchester United game increased by more than 50%.
The existence of Zhang Kuang makes it possible for Premier League to participate in Asia's 'China Derby' and 'Asia Derby'. The Premier League Alliance should thank Ferguson for giving Zhang Kuang enough trust and stage."
South Africa's comments on "The Star" have special resonance. "The story of Zhang Kuang is a story about 'counterattack'.
From China to Premier League, from questioning to becoming a god, Zhang Kuang proved a truth with 84 league goals: on the football field, skin color, nationality, and origin are not important. What matters is whether you can decide the game at the critical moment.
The 19 crowns of Manchester United bear the imprint of Zhang Kuang; and the legend of Zhang Kuang is more complete because of the 19 crowns of Manchester United."
Egypt "Al-Ahram" reported from the perspective of Africa players, "At Manchester United's 19th championship celebration, people We saw Zhang Kuang, Rooney, Hernández, and also saw Evra, Ferdinand.
The diversity and inclusiveness of this Manchester United team is one of the secrets of Ferguson's success. Zhang Kuang's success as a Asia player in Manchester United provides a new reference for the development of Africa players in Europe."
Australia "The Sydney Morning Herald" commented concisely and powerfully. "When Zhang Kuang made a perfect free kick in the 44th minute to rewrite the score to 3-0, 75,000 fans of Old Trafford chanted his name in unison.
This is the pinnacle moment of a China player on the highest stage of England football. Manchester United's 19 championships, because of the existence of Zhang Kuang, also gained unprecedented attention in Australia."
New Zealand's "The New Zealand Herald" report focused on the league structure, "Manchester United's 19 championships have brought Premier League's 'Red Devils era' to a new height.
The Ferguson team has won 13 championships in 20 Premier League seasons. This kind of dominance is extremely rare in the history of football.
Zhang Kuang's 84 league goals add more legend to this championship. For neutral fans, they may want to see more competition; but for Manchester United fans, this night belongs to red."

Have you ever seen anyone score more than 100 goals in a single season? Not to mention 100 goals, very few score 50 goals in a single season."

"Hey, brother, you can't like Zhang Kuang, he is an important competitor of our Asia."

Manchester United won the championship ahead of schedule, which sparked heated discussions among fans around the world!
--
April 12, Premier League Round 33, Molineux Stadium.
Wolverhampton Wanderers is deep in the relegation zone, but they did not play conservatively against Manchester United.
McCarthy's team started to press high from the first minute. In the first ten minutes, Manchester United couldn't even get past halftime.
In the 7th minute, Fletcher's header was saved by De Gea, and Molineux let out a sigh.
But Manchester United only took fourteen minutes to break the deadlock.
In the 21st minute, Zhang Kuang received a pass from Evra from the left, cut inward to get rid of the defense, volleyed with his right foot from 25 yards, and the ball ran into the far corner. 0-1.
In the 38th minute, Rooney passed through the midfield, Zhang Kuang successfully countered offside, faced the goalkeeper alone, and shot lightly. 0-2.
In the 61st minute of the second half, Wolverhampton Wanderers finally seized the opportunity.
Jarvis made a pass from the right, Fletcher beat Smalling and scored with a header, 1-2.
Molineux was instantly excited, and Wolverhampton Wanderers fans saw the hope of scoring points.
But in the 79th minute, Zhang Kuang was knocked down at the top of the penalty area and took a free kick. He personally took the shot and the ball bypassed the wall and hit the upper right corner. 1-3. Hat trick.
After the game, McCarthy smiled bitterly at the press conference, "We didn't play badly, really not badly. But there was a player on the opposite side who didn't belong to this league. He scored three goals, and each one seemed to come from another dimension."
In the last game, Manchester United won the away game 3:1.
On April 15th, in the 34th round of Premier League, Old Trafford and Manchester United played against the Aston Villa team at home.
Before the game, Vidić and Ferdinand walked into the stadium holding the Premier League championship trophy together, and the audience stood up and applauded. The north stand once again spelled out "19" TIFO, this time with an additional line next to it. "ONEMORESTEP, THENANOTHER." Aston Villa did not have the obligation to line up to pay tribute, but they still lined up.
McLeish said before the game, "This is respect for the champion. But we are here to score points."
After the game started, Villa really played very tenaciously.
In the first ten minutes, they used intensive defense to prevent Manchester United from finding any space.
But in the 14th minute, Zhang Kuang broke through from the left and passed a cross. Hernández pushed the ball in front of the goal and scored, 1-0.
In the 33rd minute, Zhang Kuang received a pass from Carrick outside the penalty area, swung his legs in place and shot from a long distance. The ball hit the post and entered the net, 2-0.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Rooney made a pass from the right, and Ashley Young scored with a header, 3-0.
In the 76th minute, Pogba passed through midfield, and Zhang Kuang scored with a single goal, 4-0.
After the game, McLeish said, "We tried our best. Zhang Kuang scored two, but to be honest, he could have scored five."
Manchester United continues its winning streak and maintains its absolute dominance over Premier League. However, except for Manchester United fans, many fans have little interest in the Premier League league.
This is the damage to the league from winning the championship early. Losing suspense is not a good thing.
However, the UEFA Champions League semifinals are coming soon.
On April 18th, in the first round of UEFA Champions League's semi-finals, Manchester United played against Barcelona at home. Barcelona came to Manchester two days in advance. They attached great importance to this game.
The entire team was holed up in the training ground and hotel. Reporters kept trying to interview or photograph something, but the result was that they couldn't photograph anything. The Barcelona team was so low-key that it was shocking.
The reporter in turn went to interview Manchester United players and coaches. As a result, the entire Manchester United team was extremely low-key and did not accept interviews. The reporters were turned away before the game.
"The Guardian": "In the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona kept a low profile and prepared for the game, and Manchester United kept a low profile and did not respond. This is different from the usual uproar before the game. This atmosphere is so weird, like the eve of a storm."
