There was no upset in the 16th round of the league, and the scoreboard did not change much. Although I just returned from a fake, the players' state did not have much fluctuations due to the impact of the FIFA virus.

Two days later, AC Milan drew 0-0 with Chievo in the first leg of the Italian FA Cup quarter-finals, but Milan played veterans like Leonardo and Thomason or Wannian substitutes, and they all felt like "I am lucky to lose my life if I get it," so the fans and the media did not have any opinions on this result.

Compared with the Italian Cup, the Champions League and the League are the key points.

On January 19, 2003, in the 17th round of the Serie A, AC Milan 2:1 at home, Kaka scored a goal and created a penalty kick, becoming the team's number one hero for winning again.

On January 22, 2003, in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Italian FA Cup, AC Milan defeated Chivo 5:2 away, Karaze scored the first record, Sedov scored twice, Brokey and Dalabona scored goals respectively, AC Milan advanced strongly, and fans who had no desires for this cup began to dream of a triple-champion.

On January 26, 2003, in the 18th round of the Serie A, AC Milan challenged Udinese away.

Udinese is the only team in Serie A that has never suffered a defeat at home this season. He was aggressive at the beginning and once suppressed Milan.

In the 35th minute, Yankulovski got the ball in the penalty area. Maldini hit the ball in the air while tackled the ground. AC Milan was sentenced to death, and Chilean midfielder Pizarro took the penalty kick and hit the penalty.

Both sides entered the midfield with a score of 1:0 and then changed sides again in the second half.

At the beginning of the game, Kaka took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper's inattention and shot in the midfield. Although the ball did not make the ball, it also sounded the horn of counterattack for the team. Milan scored three goals in the 46th to 66th minutes.

The first goal was a cross from Maldini and Shevchenko scored a header;

The second goal was Rui Costa's straight pass, and Sidorf scored a push shot;

The third goal was the cooperation of Kaka and Pirlo's free kicks, and finally the sleeping skin and fallen leaves scored.

Although Kaka did not score, the first two goals were attacks he planned. The third goal was not only from the free kick he created, but also from him directly assisted. He scored a high score of 8.5 points in the media score after the game.

It is worth mentioning that Baggio scored another goal in this round of the league, helping Brescia draw Parma, increasing the Serie A goal record of active players to 188 goals. Currently, the only one closest to this record is Batistuta, but judging from Bati's condition, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break.

Just as AC Milan was singing a triumphant song, the top two Serie A Juventus and Inter Milan were capsized at the same time, and the red and black fans suddenly got closer to their dream of a triple-champion.

As time goes by February, AC Milan continues to make great strides in the league and the Italian Cup, with the Christmas tree formation killing all sides and winning all the victories.

On February 2, the 19th round of Serie A was at home, Modena 2:1;

On February 6, in the first leg of the Italian FA Cup semi-finals, he defeated Perugia with one goal away;

On February 9, in the 20th round of Serie A, Perugia was once again away from home, Kaka created a penalty hat trick, Pirlo scored two free throws, and the last goal was Kaka assisted Inzagi to score;

On February 16, in the 21st round of Serie A, AC Milan played against Lazio at home.

The Blue Eagles collapsed in form and broke through the goal guarded by Dida twice, but AC Milan was better at it and finally won 3:2. Kaka made a pass and shot to shine throughout the game.

On February 19, in the third round of the second stage of the European Champions League group stage, AC Milan defeated Moscow Locomotive 1:0. Kaka assisted Thomasson to score the only goal in the game after coming on the bench.

On February 22, in the 22nd round of the Serie A, AC Milan challenged Torino away.

The Red and Blacks had a dreamy attack in the first half. Kaka scored twice on his head and then assisted Shevchenko with a left foot and led 3:0 in the 37th minute of the game.

Who knew that the situation changed suddenly in the second half.

Just 2 minutes after the change of sides, the Torino fans broke through the transparent plastic baffle on the guardrail and were about to rush into the field. The riot police stepped forward to stop it, and the game was resumed. However, the Torino fans did not calm down and kept throwing glass bottles and other debris from the stands, including the seats removed from the stands.

At the gap in the guardrail, fans clashed with police, and more than a dozen people rushed to the runway. The police were forced to release tear gas, while fans fought back with stones and other objects.

Half an hour later, referee Palanca announced the suspension of the game in the locker room. After the game, the Italian Football Association ordered Torino to lose 0-3 and was suspended for 5 games at home.

Just as AC Milan fans celebrated their victory, Inter Milan was tied and fell to third in the standings.

On February 25, in the 4th round of the 2nd and 4th round of the European Champions League group stage, AC Milan challenged Moscow Locomotive away, and Kaka finally created a penalty kick and took the penalty, and Milan won 1:0.

In the entire seven games in February, they scored 14 goals. Including the January game, AC Milan achieved a terrifying record of victory in 2003. Dating back to 2002, their last loss was the 1:2 loss to La Coruña in the Champions League group stage on November 23.

Ten consecutive victories, eighteen unbeaten games.

The media almost blown up AC Milan, and the reporter of Turin Sports News, Johnnies, talked about Kaka in his column.

“It’s time to talk about Kaka.”

"22 league games, 11 goals, 11 assists, fifth in the scorer list, first in the assists list; two Champions League qualifiers, three goals, one assist; 10 Champions League games, 6 goals, and 5 assists. Since joining AC Milan in August last year, this kid has created 37 goals for AC Milan in 34 games. These are not counted as the penalty kicks he created but did not take the penalty."

"Of course, when we evaluate a player, we cannot simply talk about goals and assists, but we also need to look at his contribution to the team, his tactical execution, his stadium performance, and his explosiveness at critical moments."

"I have seen many games in Kaka. I can say responsibly that this kid has shown the world's top offensive ability. If he can be a little more selfish, his highest number of goals may even be increased by one third..."

"He is currently the most successful player in Serie A and the most successful player. Even in the five major leagues, his success rate is one of the highest. Unfortunately, we rarely see him playing past goalkeepers like healthy Ronaldo and young Baggio, because his position is farther from the goal, and because of the opportunity, he chooses more assists..."

"The second thing to talk about is Van der Fate."

"The Dutch promoted to the Ajax first team in 2000 and started his career and soon became the team's frontcourt core."

"In the 2001-02 season, Van der Fate scored 14 goals in the first 16 rounds of the Eredivisie, but then in February 2002, due to a knee injury, Ajax finally won two championships in the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup after the end of the season. In the 2002-03 season, Van der Fate only played 21 rounds of the league for Ajax, scoring 18 goals; in the UEFA Champions League, Van der Fate played 6 times and scored 2 goals, helping Ajax reach the quarterfinals..."

Kaka was originally wondering why Turin Sports News spent so much effort to praise him, but he only reacted after seeing Van der Fate.

This year is 2003. The Turin Sports Daily released such an article at this juncture, which is probably building momentum for the first European Golden Boy Awards.

If the memory is not wrong, the European Golden Boy Award was founded by Turin Sports in 2003. It was voted by more than 30 European sports media to select the best young player of the year. The target must be young players playing for European clubs under the age of 21.

The voting results were finally counted and awarded by the "Golden Ball", but in order to distinguish them from the Golden Ball Award, the name was named Golden Boy Award.

In the original timeline, the winner of the first Golden Boy Award was Van der Fate.

At this time, Van der Fate was called the second Cruyff, which was so red that it was a bit too hot compared to Kaka.

Kaka's birthday is April, which is just on the standard line of "under 21 years old". If the Golden Boy Award is selected after April, it is strictly considered that his age exceeds the standard. Of course, this was organized by the Italian media after all. If possible, they definitely do not want the first Golden Boy Award to be lost. So even if the age does not meet, Turin Sports will probably take away the "below" with considerateness.

In other words, this Golden Boy Award card has been settled.
