long live football

"Munich 1860 won the first UEFA Champions League in the history of their club. Including the German Cup and the Bundesliga they won a month ago, this team has a long history but is young enough in the European arena. It has become the fifth club to win the Triple Crown since the professionalization of European football leagues,"

"The first four clubs to have won the treble were Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, Eindhoven in 1988 and Manchester United in 1999, from 1999 to 2008, countless The giants all want to win this honor, Real Madrid, Milan duo, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal... none of them succeeded. In the end, it was Munich 1860, a grassroots team that dominated European football in Jinyuan football. In today's world, when it is increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized clubs to reach the top, it is incredible that we can still see this miracle of a grassroots counterattack!"

"Karl Oston has also officially won the Triple Crown coach starting today! Four seasons! In just four seasons, he transformed Munich 1860, which was in the quagmire of the second division, into a European champion. Compared with Munich The miracle of the 1860 club, obviously Auston's career is even more legendary!"

"Think about Oston's age, 30 years old! Born in 1978, he just turned 30 years old this year, but he has become a gold medal coach who won the European championship. Complete such a feat! Stand up, fans and friends, stand up from your sofa, and then look at the Luzhniki Stadium to pay tribute to the youngest coach who has ever won the Triple Crown!"

No one knows whether the fans in front of the TV listened to the commentator's advice and stood up from the sofa, but when the camera lens kept switching the pictures in the stadium and on the stands, every 1860 Munich fan did feel They were standing, and each of them was clapping desperately towards the court, with ecstatic expressions on their faces, and a deep respect exuding from their bodies.

In the ordinary stands, I don't know how many fans are shouting "We are the champions!", while hugging their friends tightly.

In the VIP box, Zwanziger, chairman of the German Football Association, and Loew, the national team coach, also applauded vigorously.

Not far from them, the little fan Anderson held a mobile phone in one hand and called his father on the hospital bed, and waved a blue scarf with the Lions team logo in the other hand. Excited look.

Even the boxes where UEFA officials are sitting are full of joy. Since Platini came to power, UEFA has been committed to restricting the continued expansion of wealthy and "upstart" clubs. By the way, it is good to win over small and medium clubs To enhance their own authority, Munich 1860, one of the representatives of small and medium-sized clubs, defeated a group of giants to win the European championship and created the glory of the Triple Crown, which is also what UEFA likes to see.

……

The fanatical atmosphere of celebration in the Luzhniki Stadium did not fill every corner. At least half of the stands and the stadium were immersed in mourning at this time.

Many Manchester United players fell to their knees on the field, their eyes were red, and the water droplets falling on their faces could not tell whether it was rain or tears.

Van der Sar feels back in the past.

In the 1995-96 season, he experienced a game that was almost the same as today.

He was still playing for Ajax at that time. The two teams in the Champions League final were Ajax and Juventus. After 90 minutes of the game and 30 minutes of extra time, they were tied with each other. In that game, the championship was also determined by penalty kicks.Juventus made four of four free throws. Van der Sar failed to save the Zebra player's penalty once, but Ajax only made two of the four free throws. take away.

That scene left a deep impression on Van der Sar, and it has been remembered for 12 years. Now, history is repeating itself: the same 120 minutes scored 1:1, and penalty kicks are also needed to decide the winner. Not the same as 12 years ago, but what is the difference in the result?He also lost. People may feel sorry for Manchester United for a short time after tonight, but what about after a long time?After all, the world will only remember the champion, not who the runner-up is.

The reincarnation of fate makes Van der Sar want to cry without tears. He is 38 years old this year. Time passes by and he is no longer youthful. Even if he tries to maintain his form and play until he is 40 years old and then retires, God will not give him another chance, give Manchester United another chance ?

In the Manchester United team, Ferguson had a similar idea to Van der Sar. He had a bad heart and retired once in 2002 when he was 60 years old, but because the team was affected by his retirement. He came back to take charge of the coach without hesitation. He is 67 years old this year, and he is about to reach the age where he can't work. Before he retires, can he bring Manchester United another Champions League?

When all the players were crying, although their hands were trembling, Ferguson's expression suddenly became extremely calm.

He will never retire until he wins another Champions League for Manchester United!

And before deciding to retire, he also needs to find an excellent heir for Manchester United, and then win the third and fourth UEFA Champions League titles!

Just after making this important decision, Ferguson moved his ears and suddenly turned to look at the stands.

In the place where Manchester United fans gathered, the singing of "Glory Glory Man United" gradually sounded, and from small to large, it gradually spread to the stands and the entire stadium.

"We lost the game but we didn't need

Because the whole world knows Manchester United are dominant

Let's get back on our feet

Red Devils go forward

Glory to Manchester United"

The singing of the fans revived the Manchester United players on the pitch. They wiped away the tears on their faces, stood up from the ground, straightened their chests and set their eyes firmly, ready to look forward from now on.

After losing this game, there will be another one, as long as they don't stop fighting, the champion will always come, right?

Andy Gray's words showed a bit of choking:

"The Manchester United fans in the Luzhniki Stadium were singing, and now they are singing "Glory Glory Man United", the second team anthem of Manchester United, and it is a revised version of the lyrics."

"Due to many objective reasons, sometimes the strength of the home team is weaker than the opponent, and they may lose the game. It is a pity or misfortune to lose, but the fighting spirit of the team cannot be lost because of failure. The fighting spirit must be maintained. Live. As supporters of the team, fans cannot only support the team when it wins, because the team needs more spiritual encouragement when it encounters difficulties. The Manchester United fans who are now floating in the Luzhniki Stadium The singing is the perfect interpretation of sportsmanship."

"The Manchester United players can walk out of Russia with their heads held high, because although they failed, they also brought wonderful performances to fans all over the world. It brought an extremely pleasant viewing experience, and in the end, they also witnessed the perseverance of the Red Devils fans, and from a certain point of view, they are also winners."

……

The podium in the middle of the stadium has been set up.

Because it was still raining, many celebration props prepared by the Russian organizers for the winners, such as fireworks with blue smoke and confetti flying in the sky, were useless, but because of the affection of the German fans Put in, so the atmosphere is still warm.

Many officials of the German Football Association and several national team coaches also walked into the stadium, shaking hands with the Lions players one by one to congratulate.

Even Orr is here.

Although the football game will not cause any harm to cancer patients, it is too much tossing back and forth between Munich and Moscow. Doctors and family members advised Orr to stay in the hospital and rest, but Orr insisted on watching the game , The original words he said to his family were: "Will going to Moscow to watch a football game kill me? People have early death and late death. I have this disease and I am already in the ranks of early death. Why not let me die?" Live happily in the next time? Let me see the team participate in the Champions League final and win the championship. Maybe I can last a few more years if I have strong willpower, but if you block me and don’t let me go to the scene, Even if I live another ten years, I will die with regret."

When it comes to this point, Orr's family and doctors can only agree.

Orr's wife and children accompanied him to watch today's game. After the game, they also helped him walk to the field and talk to the team players.

When he saw Carl, Orr gave him a hug very excitedly: "You are the biggest hero of the team, Carl, everything we got today was earned by you."

Carl hugged him back, and then let go: "What you said is too exaggerated. Without the full support of the club over the past few years, I would not be able to buy the players I like. Without the hard work of the players, we would not be able to win so many championships." , In fact, you are also an invisible hero of the club, Mr. Chairman, when the media evaluates our champions in the future, they will know who is behind the scenes, and the fans will also thank you silently in their hearts."

"I have not been the chairman for a long time." Auer smiled wryly, and then he straightened his face: "Stop being humble, you deserve my praise, Karl. You led Munich 1860, and our hometown team stood The top of Europe, it is you who shaped a team that I thought would go down forever into the king of the whole of Europe, it is you who have added the most brilliance to the history of the club, no matter how time passes, no one will forget us It is you who made this generation of fans have the best memories in their lives..."

When Orr couldn't help praising Carl vigorously, violent cheers erupted in the stadium.

There were salutes, and on the podium, UEFA President Michel Platini was handing the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the Champions League champion, to Beckham.

It was a trophy symbolizing the European Championship that the Munich 1860 club had been looking forward to for 148 years.

Carl and Orr stood behind the crowd together, watching the 33-year-old Beckham and his teammates cluster around the trophy and lift it high into the sky!

The music of "We Are the Champions" resounded throughout the stadium, faithfully interpreting the scene in front of us.

Munich 1860, is the champion!

……

After the award ceremony, the players of 1860 Munich had another carnival in the dressing room.

Karl had long promised the entire team that if they won the championship, all the rules and prohibitions in the locker room would be temporarily invalidated, allowing the players to celebrate unscrupulously for a few days, play whatever they wanted, and eat whatever they wanted.

It is conceivable that after this group of players celebrated in the locker room, they will definitely continue to be lively when they return to the hotel. Maybe after returning to Munich tomorrow, there will be continuous gatherings. The enthusiasm for the Triple Crown will continue no matter what It will slowly fade away over a period of months.

Went into the shower to wash off the sweat and rain all over his body. After his body warmed up again, Sven quickly put on his jersey and went outside, tore a large piece of beef pizza, and while he was gobbling it, he looked around suspiciously: "Where is the boss?" , why is it missing?"

The other players looked around, but did not find the head coach: "Didn't he come back with us?"

Shao Jia raised his hand: "I saw the boss talking to Mr. Orr during the award ceremony. He probably sent Mr. Orr back to the hotel while we were parading around the venue."

"The boss stood on the sidelines for the entire game, and was almost as wet as we were by the rain. Wouldn't he come back and take a hot shower and change clothes before going back to the hotel? Did he send the former Mr. Chairman? Came back?" The expectation in some people's words is beyond words, you must know that they have hidden the cameras secretly, and they are ready to find a suitable opportunity... It's a pity that when they returned to the locker room, the master was not there.

"Probably won't come back." Dzeko pointed to a wardrobe with the door open: "The boss's cabinets are all empty, and he should have changed his clothes and left."

"……"so disappointed!

Carl, who didn't know that he was being coveted by the players, was actually sitting in the bar drinking with an old man from Scotland at the moment.

Ferguson had beer in front of him, but Karl had a glass of vodka in front of him.

The two of them didn't deliberately find topics to chat, but listened to the excitement of the people around them, drinking one cup after another.

It didn't take long for Carl to get drunk, and Ferguson was also a little drunk.

"I can't drink any more. If I drink any more, I won't be able to get up tomorrow. I'll miss my morning flight. When I get home, Aunt Katie will scold me." Ferguson pushed away the half-full wine glass in front of him, looked at Carl, The eyes behind the glasses flashed a serious light: "Hey, boy, let's talk about business now. You invited me to drink, do you think I will be angry with you for losing the game?"

"No." Carl shook his head: "Just after the game, I was thinking that if I snatched a championship from you, why should I return something back? I just wanted to try the taste of Russian wine, so Please come and taste it together."

A game is a game, and life is life. Carl and Ferguson are both mature, prudent, and cunning types. The two are naturally very clear. If he thinks that he loses a championship, the opponent will resent him for it. Not only does he look down on Ferguson, but also It is to look down on yourself.

However, there is still a certain distance between thinking clearly and actually doing it. After all, 1860 Munich took the championship away from Manchester United. Ferguson and Karl, no matter how rational and emotional they are, it is a bit unnatural to get along with each other recently, so Karl invited Ferguson to drink immediately after the game, trying to gain more favorability, so as to resolve this embarrassment as soon as possible, and the two of them resumed the previous seamless mentoring relationship.

"Just a few glasses of beer and you want to send me away?" Ferguson made a disdainful expression: "Why do you need a few barrels? Red beer, dark beer, and this golden beer are all unique."

"...Are you kidding me? Alright." Carl rubbed his nose, "I'll ask the bar owner if they are willing to take out and send the business to England. Is it mailed to your home?"

"Katie will refuse to sign for it and throw them all out." The wife was really angry, and even Ferguson shunned: "Send it to my farm, it's safer there."

Carl smiled and agreed.

The two stood up and went back to the hotel. Half an hour later, standing in the elevator, Ferguson said the last few words to Carl this evening: "Actually, I still want to ask you something."

"what?"

"Let's talk about it later." The elevator stopped, and Ferguson patted Carl on the shoulder: "I will talk to you when the time comes." Then he got out of the elevator and walked towards his room.

Karl knew that Ferguson's words must be hinting at something, but there were too few clues and too many guesses about the direction. He was not sure of the other party's purpose at all, so after thinking about it for dozens of seconds, he left before the elevator doors closed. go out.

He browsed through the numbers of the various rooms, then knocked on one of the doors.

Half a minute later, Ronaldo with messy hair opened the door: "Who is knocking?" The tired voice woke up the second he saw the visitor: "Why are you here!"

"After drinking with the lord, I just sent him back." Carl leaned against the door, and unbuttoned the shirt that had been unbuttoned by two buttons: "I heard the lord said that you have been a little insomnia for a while, so If you live in a hotel, you have your own room, can you ask for a room?"

"The hotel booked in Munich in 1860 is not far from here, go back to your own hotel room and sleep."

"I don't want to walk or take a taxi." He paused, "Because I'm sick." Pointing to his face, he pointed to his face, "Here's the evidence. When I came out of the stadium, I felt something was wrong, probably because I had a fever after being exposed to the rain."

Ronaldo cleared away his drowsiness, and scanned Carl's body carefully and earnestly several times with his eyes: his complexion was indeed very bad, his cheeks were flushed abnormally, but other parts were pale, his forehead was even oozing sweat, and his lips were the same. It is also white, and it looks a little dry.

"You know you're sick and you still go to drink?" Ronaldo frowned, with a complicated expression: "You won the game so you're so happy that you're dizzy?!" Drinking alcohol after a fever is not good for your health. It is easy to cause dehydration and inflammation.

Carl leaned against the door frame, and his body involuntarily slid down more than ten centimeters.

Ronaldo quickly helped him up, otherwise, Karl might have slipped and fell to the ground.After making such contact with the opponent's skin, Ronaldo realized that although Carl's cheeks were flushed, his body was cold.

"I'm a little dizzy." The patient with a sick face said in a weak voice, "And I'm very thirsty, give me a glass of water?"

Ronaldo had to carry most of the opponent's body and dragged him into the room.

Manchester United is not a rich and powerful local tyrant. Although the club is a rich family in terms of performance and background, the new owner is actually quite stingy. The hotel rooms reserved for the players who are going out to play are very ordinary. There is not even a sofa in the living room. One queen bed.

Ronaldo put Carl on the bed, then went to pour water, and called the front desk to borrow a thermometer.

When he returned to the bed with the water glass, he found that the patient had fallen asleep.

"Hey, get up and drink water." He patted his arm, but there was no response. He hesitated for a while, and patted his cheek, but there was still no response, but he felt a wet hand.

I really have a fever, and it doesn't look like it's mild. I continued to scream, and my movements changed from clapping to pushing, and then to shaking back and forth (squeezing a few hands). After a few minutes, I finally became conscious. With a "hmm", he half-opened his eyes bewilderedly.

Ronaldo forcibly lifted the upper body of the man, and while feeding water, he was reflecting on himself.

After the game, he was sad and sad.

It's just that people always have to learn to heal themselves. At least on the way back to the hotel, he had already figured it out: he is so young and powerful, so why should he be afraid of failure?What is lost now can be regained later!

But thinking of Carl, Ronaldo was still a little annoyed. Being defeated by his best friend's team made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

It's not a matter of venting anger, but I don't want to see Carl's face dangling in front of my eyes for a while.

Although that face is quite pleasing to the eye.

Come here if you don’t want to see anything, just when Ronaldo returned to the hotel to wash up, lying on the bed and looking at the roof with insomnia, Carl came.

At the beginning, he really wanted to drive the opponent away immediately, but after finding that the opponent was not only sick, but also didn't say anything to show off winning the championship, instead, his attitude was as natural and peaceful as usual, Ronaldo said Yu Qi almost ran away.

After feeding the water, Ronaldo touched Carl's forehead and found that it was very hot.

He resignedly took off his coat for the other party, covered him with a quilt, and then began to put on his own coat. Anyway, let's go to the pharmacy to buy the medicine first.
