There is a belief called football

Chapter 138 We Are the Champions

The staff at the scene were setting up the stage for the awards ceremony, and none of the fans left the stadium early. The frustrated Korean fans are now interacting with the team they supported. FC Seoul walked around the stadium under the leadership of Choi Yong-soo. The whole team thanked the fans for their support over the past year, and many fans could be seen crying.

This is football. If you haven’t watched it, you don’t know what real life is. Life is like football, full of ups and downs, full of joy, passion, and sometimes helpless and sentimental. When everything fades with time, you will still wear the jersey of the year with your grandson, take your grandson to the stadium to watch the game, and continue this inheritance.

The history of Asian football is far inferior to that of European football, and there are no European fans in Asia.

In Europe, you often see two gray-haired old men holding hands, holding the same scarf, and supporting a team all their lives. For them, there are only two things that will always be loyal in life-love and football.

I still remember the Euro 12 match between Ukraine and Sweden. When Andriy Shevchenko scored a goal, a Ukrainian boy held up the national flag to celebrate passionately. That picture later became a hot topic on the Internet and was widely discussed by Chinese fans.

But I believe that with clubs like Guangzhou Tianbao and Seoul FC dedicated to football, then Asian football will definitely have such a day.

In fact, many fans of Guangzhou Tianbao, especially the female fans, also cried. Many of them asked for leave from home to support their team.

At this time, the Guangzhou Tianbao players in the stadium have changed into T-shirts specially prepared for the championship. It is a very simple white T-shirt with the team logo on the left chest and a big heart in the middle, and the five-star red flag inside the heart.

The players ran to the stands to celebrate and cheer with the fans. Many players hugged their children, while Li Qiao hugged his "new girlfriend".

*****
About half an hour later, the scene was properly arranged, and the awards ceremony was about to begin. There were two guests for this award, one was the AFC chairman "Haman", and the other was also a senior official of the AFC and the former chairman of the Korean Football Association "Jung Mong-joon".

First, "Harman" delivered a speech. He thanked the 46 member countries of the AFC and the 32 teams participating in the AFC Champions League. Then he congratulated Seoul FC and their head coach. Finally, he congratulated this year's champion.

After Harman finished speaking, Chung Mong-joon also said a few words routinely. Of course, as a Korean, he first expressed comfort to Seoul FC and affirmed the head coach Choi Yong-soo. Finally, he expressed his admiration to the fans at the scene. The Red Devils cheerleaders always stick to their team, which makes him very proud as a Korean.

After the two big figures finished speaking, the awards ceremony officially began. According to the usual practice, the first runner-up team was on the podium.

Guangzhou Tianbao, who won the championship, lined up to welcome the players of Seoul FC according to the usual practice. On the field, they were sharp opponents, but after the game, many players became amiable. After the formation of Tianbao players, Seoul FC players and Guangzhou Tianbao players shook hands and hugged one by one.

When De Yang passed by Li Qiao, he stopped for a moment. He hoped that he could exchange jerseys with Li Qiao later, and Li Qiao readily agreed.

The players of Seoul FC only got a silver medal. Most of the players on the stage exchanged pleasantries with the award presenters and quickly walked off the podium after receiving the medals. Most of them immediately took off their medals. Although everyone said that there are no losers on the football field, everyone knows that there is only one winner tonight.

The last one to receive the award was head coach Choi Yong-soo. He was also the one who had the longest greetings with Harman and Jung Mong-joon, but he must have been very bitter at the moment. Forcing a smile is obviously not Choi Yong-soo’s strong point. The moment he stepped off the podium, Choi Yong-soo took off the medal and put it in his pocket.

The most exciting moment has come, the champion team Guangzhou Tianbao players will be on the podium, 32 teams, a year of fierce competition, the final king is about to take the throne, and he is the team from China! ! !
Still according to the usual practice, the head coach Stan was still the last one. He looked at the disciples who walked in front, and he was full of emotions. He remembered the encounter when he met the Urawa Red Diamonds in the group stage.

Of course, the most difficult game on the road to promotion was the away game against Buriram. That game can be said to have cost Stan 90% of his life. If the team hadn’t reversed Buriram at home in the end, Stan would not be standing here waiting to receive the award, but looking for a job again in Serbia.

Stan recalled the few days when he and Li Qiao went to Munich for treatment. If Wolfart hadn't come back to life, would the final be a different scene?At least the team will be very difficult, the scene will be ugly, or the opponent's head coach "Cui Yongzhu" should be standing here now.

Thinking of the details of the season, there were so many times when Stan almost dismissed get out of class. When the Guangzhou media reported on Lippi, Stan could not sleep for two nights in a row. He was afraid that he would be dismissed before he had time to prove himself.

Thinking of this, Stan let out a soft but helpless laugh. Despite the glamorous appearance of the football head coach, the pressure they endured is unimaginable to ordinary people. Most people get sympathy when they are fired, but the football head coach who is fired will only receive two words from thousands of fans-"Get out".

But at the same time, compared to many people, Stan feels that he is very lucky. In the final stage of the summer transfer window, he got Li Qiao, Brahimi, Conca and other strong players, especially Li Qiao.

In addition, I can finally participate in the Club World Cup as the champion of the AFC Champions League. Although there are still two hurdles to go against Barcelona in the final, especially in the semi-finals, the opponent is likely to be the South American champion Santos, but at least Stan has a chance as a challenger.

"It turns out that this is how it feels to win the championship," Stan thought. He used to watch others win the championship in front of the TV. Guardiola, Ferguson, when they won the Champions League and were at the end, what were they thinking in their minds?Now he understands, they will play a movie in their minds, and they can't help but recall everything that happened in the past year. Every championship was won by stepping on the feet of all other opponents.

When you step on others to reach the podium step by step, there will be a moment when you are likely to be stepped on by others, and finally you get up and move on, how difficult it is.

When all the fans cheered Stan's name in unison, Stan returned to reality. At this time, his disciples were all on the podium. Li Qiao and Prahimi were standing next to the AFC Champions League trophy.

Stan trotted up to the podium, shook hands with Harman and Zheng Mengzhun, and exchanged greetings. Harman put the championship medal on Stan's neck.

The most exciting moment is coming, Haman moved his steps and came to the trophy, he wanted to award the trophy to Guangzhou Tianbao's captain "Nei Ke Nan".

But Harman, as the chairman of the AFC, is like an excellent actor. He touched the trophy as if he loved his own child, then gently lifted it up and handed it to Nekonan.

Nei Kenan walked a few steps, and when he got to the teammate, everyone couldn't wait, "Woooooooooooooooooooo", the teammates shouted, and when Nei Kenan raised the trophy, everyone shouted, "YA".

In line with the rhythm of his teammates, Nei Kenan held up the trophy at the last moment. At the moment when the trophy was lifted high above his head, the familiar song "wearethechampions" rang out.

Prahimi snatched the trophy, this kid couldn't wait, this is the first major championship he won in his career, he also imitated Nekonan, raised the trophy once, and shouted loudly.

Next came Li Qiao, then Recoba, and then the trophies were passed down one by one. Every team member had a chance to lift it until the last one. When the trophy was passed to Stan, "Feng Tian", who had just been promoted by Stan, held the trophy to Stan with a smile.

"Hold it up to the fans with your teammates, they have their share of the trophy," Stein said.

So Prahimi, Li Qiao, Qi Bing and other players who won the senior team championship for the first time held the trophy to the fans and shared the glory of the moment with them.
