Chapter 871 We won the championship!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Manchester City players on the pitch cheered wildly.

All the players quickly moved towards Captain Su Dong's direction immediately, and all hugged each other tightly.

At this moment, in the entire Etihad Stadium, more than 4 Manchester City fans, as well as outside the stadium, fans who had been waiting for more than 90 minutes, and even in the entire city of Manchester, countless Manchester City fans are sending out their own cheers.

"Win the championship!!!"

"We won the championship!!!"

"We finally won the championship!!!"

The on-site commentator shouted to the end, his voice was choked up, and he burst into tears directly in front of the microphone.

Everyone who works at Manchester City is a die-hard fan of this team.

All of them acted more emotionally than the players on the field during this historic moment.

The players hugged together. Su Dong hugged his teammates one by one, sometimes patted their faces and said to them, "You did a great job!", sometimes he would directly hug his teammates by the waist, "You boy can do it!", and sometimes, he directly punched his teammates in the chest, and then hugged him hard, "Brother, we won!"

Manchester City players gathered on the pitch, all enjoying this unforgettable moment that will go down in the club's history.

……

The Stoke City players congratulated Manchester City in a gracious manner, and then quietly exited, leaving the stadium to the home team players.

But soon, the Manchester City players also found that it was difficult for them to become the protagonist of this stadium.

Whether it was the Manchester City fans in the stands or all the fans squatting outside the stadium, they desperately wanted to rush into the stadium to celebrate at the end of the game, and even many fans sitting at the bottom of the stands jumped over the guardrail of the stands and rushed directly into the stadium.

Some of them held up the scarves of the club; some ran wildly all the way, yelling;

When more and more fans poured into the stadium, the scene was very chaotic, and the fans became the protagonists instead.

The fans don't hurt the players, on the contrary, they will take the initiative to run over and celebrate with the players.

In the chaotic scene, people can easily find a unique landscape.

A balding old man was wearing Manchester City's sky blue jersey. The jersey number was not printed on the back of the jersey. Instead, he wrote a sentence in black pen, "From 1968 to 2011, I have always been here!"

The old man seemed out of tune with everything around him. Instead of celebrating with the others, he walked to the middle of the field alone, knelt down on the grass, buried his head deeply in the turf of the field, and cried bitterly.

An old man in his 70s and [-]s, crying like this, quickly infected everyone around him.

He buried his head in the grass, showing his back, so that everyone could see his persistence.

"We don't know his name, but we can feel his deep love for this team."

"From [-] to [-], Manchester City had ups and downs several times. At the most tragic time, we even fell into the third tier of England's league. It was a period of hopeless and bleak years."

"But we know that even during that period of time, there are still countless fans like this old man who don't know their names, who have been silently waiting for Manchester City and loving Manchester City."

"According to the statistics of the Premier League, in the past two seasons, with the improvement of the team's performance, more and more fans like Manchester City, especially in this season, the team's performance is excellent, coupled with the addition of superstars like Su Dong, even in Manchester, Manchester City fans will not lose to the arch rival Manchester United."

"More and more fans like Manchester City, which is a good thing. We also welcome more new fans, but we also sincerely hope that everyone will not forget this group of old fans who have been silently sticking to it, because it is their persistence that helped the team survive the most difficult and darkest years."

Live TV cameras swept over the Etihad Stadium, capturing everything inside the stadium.

There are many Manchester City fans who are wiping away tears, and they are all infected by the emotions of this ancient fan.

Although Manchester City has a long history, there are not many champions, and the history is not brilliant. If it is purely based on performance, Manchester City’s history can only be ranked in the lower reaches of the Premier League. It cannot be compared with many low-level teams, such as Nottingham Forest. It is even worse than Huddersfield, and it is estimated that it can only be compared with Derby County.

It can be said that the history of Manchester City is a poor and blank history.

The two champions are nearly half a century apart, what a long time!
What real fans love is football and the team. They don't care about the time, the prosperity and decline of the club, the history of the team, let alone whether the team can win the championship.

What they love is football, the team, the players.

And those who like to stand on a high ground and criticize other teams with a disdainful tone, they are often nouveau riche, mercenaries, and those who do not win the championship are hot chickens. Do they like football?

No, what they like is the superiority that comes with liking a certain team.

These guys can like this team one day, and they can like another stronger team tomorrow.

For them, it's just a change of name.

But this ancient old man, even in the most difficult and darkest years of the team, he never left him, and he never switched to another giant team in the same city with stronger strength and more glorious history, which shows his love for Manchester City!
This is a valuable asset for any team.

……

Su Dong took the players, left the fans, and came to the old man's side.

He squatted down gently and helped up the bald old Englishman, who was ordinary and slightly fat.

After Su Dong helped him up, he said with a smile: "Don't cry, today is a good day for us to win the championship, we should be happy and laugh!"

The old man was flattered and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you should laugh! You should be happy!"

He laughed, but the tears kept falling.

"In a few days, we will go to the FA Cup final and the Europa League final, you must come and cheer for us!" Su Dong invited.

The old man was full of surprises, and kept nodding his head, "Okay, I must go, I must go!"

In the crowd, a reporter from an unknown newspaper suddenly shouted, "Let's take a group photo!"

The players of Su Dong and Manchester City thought it was okay, and immediately surrounded the old man and asked the reporters to take a picture.

Many fans at the scene came up one after another. After seeing the old man took a picture, they were unhappy and asked for another one.

More and more fans gathered around, surrounded Manchester City players and old fans, and each made some strange gestures and movements, asking the media reporters on the scene to take pictures.

"One, two, three, eggplant!"

……

Guardiola stood excitedly on the sidelines.

Manchester City fans kept coming to shake his hand and thank him for bringing the team a championship.

This made Guardiola feel as if he was dreaming.

This is his second season of independent coaching. Will he win a Premier League title?

You know, last season, he was still questioned. Many media and even many Manchester City fans felt that he was not a qualified head coach, but now, he has won the Premier League championship!

Guardiola couldn't believe it, but at the same time, he felt a sense of pride and pride in his heart.

He believes more and more firmly in his football philosophy, and he also believes more and more that his football philosophy can be successful, even more successful than it is now.

Guardiola looked at the interaction between the players and the fans on the pitch, and he was really relieved.

As a head coach, his greatest sense of achievement does not come from the championship, but from leading his players to success, satisfying the fans, and being loved by the fans, just like what he sees at this moment.

Su Dong quietly left the stadium where he was celebrating and walked to the coach's bench of the home team.

He shook hands and hugged Torrent, Estiat and others before walking in front of Guardiola.

"Congratulations, Pep." Su Dong smiled and hugged Guardiola.

Guardiola hugged Su Dong hard, "Thank you, Su!"

He is sincere.

Without Su Dong, Manchester City would not have achieved such success this season. Even Guardiola and his team may still be questioned as they were last season.

The joining of Su Dong is the key to Manchester City's championship this season!

"Don't say that, Pep, we've only just started, and there's the FA Cup final and the Europa League final..."

Su Dong didn't finish his sentence, but smiled tacitly at Guardiola.

Guardiola understands that what Su Dong wants is not just the Premier League title, he wants more.

Many people say that Sudong and Manchester City are like Maradona and Naples back then. They are really similar, but if Sudong just helps Manchester City win the Premier League championship, it is far from enough.

Followers can never surpass their predecessors, if they want to surpass, they must break through!

Maradona led Naples to win the Serie A championship, Su Dong led Manchester City to win the Premier League championship, isn't that enough?

Then two more, the FA Cup and the Champions League, is that enough?

Even Guardiola has no doubt that Su Dong's ambition is to lead Manchester City to win the Champions League.

This is what Guardiola is willing to see and pursue hard.

Of all the head coaches, who doesn't want to win the Champions League and achieve something?
On this point, Su Dong and Guardiola, as well as most of Manchester City's players, are in the same position.

"Don't worry, the coaching staff and I will be fully prepared. Your task is to lead the locker room and win the game for us!" Guardiola was full of confidence.

After winning the Premier League championship, his confidence is obviously stronger.

"Don't worry, my teammates and I are ready, our morale is booming now!" Su Dong was also full of confidence.

After finishing speaking, Su Dong stretched out his hand and held Guardiola's hand tightly.

But soon, the sad Guardiola found that he was lifted up by the rushing players.

No matter how he asked Su Dong for help, Su Dong just stood outside the crowd with a smile, like a melon-eating crowd.
