Manchester United legend

Chapter 180.Class [-] sighed!

Winning the Champions League has a unique meaning for several young players trained by Manchester United's youth training.

"Ferguson's children" took over the class of "Baby Busby" and finally let Manchester United reach the top of Europe again-this inheritance of the club's youth training tradition is even more significant at the moment when Manchester United wins the Champions League.

Ferguson said: "Thanks to my players, especially to these young players in the class of 92. They have walked all the way from the youth training until now. They have used their steps and hard work to explain the characteristics of Manchester United. I have always been proud of them."

From the moment they won the UEFA Champions League, the English media has given Class 92 a new and resounding title - "99 Golden Generation" to promote England's youth training achievements.

Indeed, this group of youth training players shining in the Manchester United team are all out-and-out British.

Even if Giggs represents Wales, it does not affect the glory of the British Empire.

Produced by Carrington, Ferguson's children-Jost, Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Butt... These seven players have all become Manchester United.

Success is the reward for their hard work, and glory is the crown forged by their sweat. Starting from the Carrington base, after nearly 10 years of hard work, this batch of Manchester United products cultivated by Ferguson himself finally became glowing and conquered the world!

When Giggs played for Manchester United for the first time in 1991, no one would have thought that this was the preview of Class 92. In August 1995, when the boys collectively debuted in their first game and lost to Aston Villa, they also provoked the sharp irony of "you can't get anything with a bunch of little kids". After training, the group of youth training players from Manchester United's class of 8 finally came out in clusters.

This is the story of Manchester United's class of 92, this is Manchester United's victory, this is Ferguson's victory!
After finally completing the great cause of the Triple Crown, celebrating the victory at the Nou Camp Stadium, and after a long period of recollecting the joy of victory, there are still many secrets belonging to Class 92.

Before returning to the hotel after the award ceremony, Beckham asked the club's photographers to take a few pictures of him alone.

By the time he returned to Camp Nou with the trophy, the fans had already dispersed, leaving only the distant lights on the court.

Beckham's recollection is different, "I walked through the tunnel, passed a small auditorium, and came back to the football stadium. The Camp Nou was different at night. Half the lights on the stadium were still on, and half of the lights were out.

Strange shadows cast across the vast pitch, revealing a dark void.Standing here, I still remember the thunderous cheers I heard tonight.

It wasn't long ago that there were crowds here, and I was still playing football on the pitch, sweating and covering every inch of the lawn.I looked down at the trophy placed on the grass, and suddenly felt as if I had become the 13-year-old boy, walking on this football field for the first time, nervously imagining meeting the stars of Barcelona, ​​and imagining myself playing on the same stadium where the stars played.

I raised the trophy and the photographer quickly snapped a photo of me with a flash.I lifted the Champions League trophy, I won the Champions League!

This is one of the proudest moments in my football career.The lights from half the football field are shining on me, as if the fans all over the world are watching me - this is my moment.I think I finally got over the bad moment of being sent off from the 98 World Cup! "

Beckham said, "After the picture was taken, I was holding the trophy and I thought I should send it back safely. I went into the car park to look for the coach. But there was no one there, just a strange silence. The only sound you could hear seemed to come from miles away. I suddenly felt humbled."

Beckham's parents were waiting for him at the far door, and they shared the greatest joy with their children.

Giggs said, "The Camp Nou experience was like a dream for me. My teammates and I continued to linger on the grass for several hours after the game, as if we were afraid that we would lose our happiness after leaving the pitch. We were dizzy before drinking, and we walked swayingly. We seemed to be floating in the clouds all the time. I never wanted to talk as much as I did at that moment.

Giggs said: "We seem to have created a new history. For this club, we seem to have completed a certain historical mission. We are not heroes. At least at that moment, we did not have any idea of ​​​​becoming heroes. We are just partners, partners who fight together and never give up. We grow here, and we also gain success here. This is extremely important to me."

Gary Neville said: "I was dizzy during the game. I was still in the memory of the end of the game for a long time after the game. I couldn't extricate myself from it. The last few minutes in Barcelona were fantastic for me. This final tonight is unimaginable. We are doing something that has never been done before. The team is 0-1 down, the game has the last three minutes, and then we score two goals - who will believe it? Hollywood can't write such a good script. I think this is the pinnacle of Ferguson's Manchester United era."

Gary said: "I don't know why people say this is a victory for our class of 92. In fact, I just want to say that our class of 92 is just a small part of Manchester United. We are a big family. Winning the Champions League is the ultimate peak of our team including the class of 92. This is my memory - it is a pity that we will never reach such heights again.

Gary said: "I remember being paralyzed at the end of the game, unable to move. It was, indeed, the most beautiful moment of my life. I still shake with excitement when I look back on it. For the fans, all of us were part of this experience. Not just us on the field, not just the coach, everyone was part of the moment. The moment when Solskjaer put his foot in and kicked the ball in I didn't see it at all. It was so far away. So I kept watching the video afterward. Beyond imagination - I still think fate is incredible! This is football!"

Phil Neville said: "The most unforgettable thing in my memory is the ten days when we won the Treble in 1999. If someone erases this memory now and tells me that this is not true, I will even believe it-because it is beyond the limit of my imagination. It was a fairytale 10 days, it was incredible."

Jost said: "When you grow up here, you will be connected with everything in the club here, and you will have feelings for everything here. For me, playing for Manchester United is my ultimate goal. I was fortunate to enter the door of this legendary club. I am even more proud that I have become a part of this club's magnificent history. But we didn't think too much at that time. In the team, you want to win games and strive for honor.

Butt also revealed a little detail: "We were very confident before the game against Bayern. We had already played two games against them and we were in the upper hand. But we definitely did not expect to fall behind at the beginning, and then fell behind until the end of the game. I was thinking 'almost dead' until 3 minutes left in the game. Those shots that hit the goal frame were more like a mockery. However, we rewritten history in the last 3 minutes."

Phil Neville said: "What is the most glorious thing about being a Manchester United player? For me, it was the 1998-99 season. May 1999 is the peak of the ivory tower in my memory, no doubt. In 5 days of this year, we beat Tottenham to win the Premier League, beat Newcastle to win the FA Cup, and then... went to Barcelona to experience that memorable night, a night you will never forget: madness, loss, anxiety, rage, anger, ecstasy... all kinds of emotions merged Together."

Later, when celebrating the release of the movie "Class of 92", Phil said: "If you ask me what happened in those games now, I probably can't tell you. But I can tell you the situation in the locker room, our 92 players are together, with our loved ones. I feel like celebrating with my family there-because all you remember is these. Compared with these games, the games become distant and even pale, because it is the deep bond between us that makes everything so special."

Scholes said: "What's the hardest thing I've ever forgotten? The greatest achievement I've ever had as a Manchester United player? I think it's all about the Treble season. Which one is the most important of the Treble? If we had to choose from three, it would be the Champions League. I am more willing to accept the game. But I have to say that this magical 3 minutes is a precious asset that Ferguson has brought to us. We have always been a team that never gives up, whether it is Manchester United or our class of 3."

"Grow together, struggle together, and never give up. This is the spirit of Class 92 that I understand." This is Scholes' summary.

The members of class 92 have been celebrating since they returned to the team hotel. Everyone drank a lot of wine!All the players were drinking, dancing, singing, and pouring champagne everywhere.Everyone was crazy, and the carnival continued until 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day. A few players such as Jost and Ryan Giggs were still unwilling to sleep.

Drinking is naturally indispensable during the carnival, and many people lose control during the crazy party.Reporters were quick to spread rumors that there had been a fight at the party, with Edwards' son Jamie and Giggs getting into a black eye!Giggs' panda eyes are real, and he did fight Jamie, but the truth of the matter is that Jamie was beaten like a pig's head by him, and he couldn't even crawl the next day.

Jost and even Scholes were also responsible for the murder, and there were probably other teammates who joined in the fun and kicked in the chaos.Why is there a conflict?It turned out that Jamie was too rude to Giggs' mother, and his mouth was dirty after drinking. Giggs is a filial child, so of course he wanted to vent his anger on his mother, so a fight was inevitable.Ned later said, "Jamie was annoying. He often put on an idiot posture of 'I am the chairman's son'." Ferguson was very angry when he heard about the fight, but after Giggs truthfully explained that the opponent in the fight was James Edwards, Ferguson suddenly said: "Is it Jamie? Then don't worry. I will let them apologize to you and your mother."

Indeed, Edwards had to take the initiative to apologize for his son.

Until the early hours of the morning, the partners in Class 92 were still full of energy, and they decided to go for a walk.

Gary Neville said, "I distinctly remember not sleeping, walking through Barcelona as the sun was starting to light up. Who wants a night like that to end? At six o'clock in the morning, I'm still leisurely walking down the street with some brothers, not wanting to go to bed. I never want the day to end, the high tide to go away. No English (or Spain, Italy, Germany) team has ever won the treble.

It must have been a unique feat, not just about the trophy but the twists and turns, the intense competition encountered, the drama of competitive sport that created an almost unbearable tension, right down to the last few touches.

Continue until the last second of victory!The meaning of that season was to never give up and come back to life.People always talk about the strength of our attacking side, I think we scored more than 100 goals, but the fighting spirit helped us win the treble.Had we beaten Bayern 3-0, the story would have been far less exciting.
