Chapter 87 Award Ceremony
"Fack! My fear of heights is so severe that I can't bend down to pick up money for the rest of my life." After Shao Bo landed safely, he shuddered at Vieira.

Shao Bo is young, so he can get along well with the players. If Arsenal's head coach is an old man in his 70s or [-]s, the players would not dare to do this. They will be lucky if they don't cause the head coach to have a heart attack.

And in fact, Shao Bo's fear of heights is not that serious, he just felt a little dizzy when looking down from tall buildings, so what he said just now was naturally a joke.

After the players froze for a moment, they understood. Now that they had finished throwing Shao Bo, they started spraying each other with a bottle of champagne.Naturally, they didn't care. Their jerseys were already covered in mud and sweat during the game, and they would have to wash them anyway.But Shao Bo was about to get angry. He was wearing an expensive Dunhill suit, but he had never been tortured like this before.

Forget it, we won the league championship anyway, so let's treat everyone as happy.Shao Bo could only comfort himself in this way, and planned to change into sportswear when he went to the press conference later.

The stands at Highbury were still very noisy, and some Newcastle fans left.There are still many fans who want to watch the award ceremony later with Arsenal fans-anyway, if you leave now, the parking lot will be full of cars, and it is not uncommon to be stuck in traffic for an hour.

At this time, the fans of the two teams also let go of their usual confrontation and quietly waited for the start of the awards ceremony, but the staff of the club were still building the ceremony platform on the lawn, and they had to wait a little longer.

"Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes!" Seeing that Shao Bo was inexperienced, Pat Rice quickly reminded him.

Only then did Shao Bo come to his senses, and he called the players to go back to the locker room to tidy up. Shao Bo, who was covered in drinks, naturally changed into another suit.

This is an occupational disease. Football games often encounter rain and snow, and it is impossible for Shao Bo to hide in the awning all the time and not come out to command, not to mention that the current Highbury does not have such a thoughtful design.

Whenever a game is over, Shao Bo takes a shower in the locker room and changes his clothes.So he will prepare a set of spare clothes for every game, but to save trouble, he prepares sportswear provided by the club every time.Today, for the possible awards ceremony, another suit was specially prepared. Needless to say, it was still Shao Bo's favorite Dunhill.

……

Two British servicemen acted as guards, taking the trophy out of the players' entryway.There are several red and white ribbons hanging on both sides of the cup ear, and on the ribbon is written "96-97 season, English Premier League champion, Arsenal" in cursive English.The name of the championship club Arsenal is also engraved on the silvery trophy, which will be handed down to future generations along with the trophy.

There is naturally a considerable distance between the player tunnel and the podium. In order to show solemnity, the club spread a long cloth with red background and white border on this lawn.Two guards, each holding a trophy in one hand, walked across the red carpet replaced by a long cloth, followed by a person holding a square plate, on which was naturally the Premier League champion's medal.

The guards placed the trophies and medals in the predetermined positions and then left automatically, and the much-anticipated awards ceremony will officially begin.

Before the awards ceremony officially begins, some staff members of the team will take the lead in coming to the court to accept the glory.These are people who have no chance of winning medals, including coaching staff members, team doctors and players who have not entered the squad.

Although they have no medals to win, as part of the entire team, their contributions to the club are indelible, and it is only natural to receive cheers from the fans before they come to the venue.

Regardless of the fact that Pat Rice once won a few League One championship medals in his player days, but he has never touched a Premier League championship medal.It's a pity that Pat Rice, as an assistant coach, is not eligible to win a medal.

"Pat Rice", "Tony Colbert"..., the loudspeakers in Highbury announced their names one by one.Fans stood, applauded, and paid tribute to the unknown staff.Officials from the FA shook hands with them one by one to express their praise.

After the staff are the substitute players who have not been placed in the squad, such as Mendes and Matic.Some of them haven't been given a chance on the court and may have to leave this summer.

"Okay, audience friends. The head coach Shao Bo finally led his players to the player tunnel. The 22-year-old Chinese, Shao Bo. The first time he coached the club, he won the league championship. He created a miracle! Young coach Shao Bo, well, in order to distinguish them from Ferguson and Houllier, who are already 70 or [-] years old, let’s call the head coach Shao Bo a young coach. Shao Bo’s success will herald the Premier League’s head coaching team Is the start of the rejuvenation reform?"

As the head coach, Shao Bo was the first to accept the medal before he stepped onto the stage. After receiving the praise from the Football Association officials, he left humbly and gave up his position to the players waiting to receive the award.

Bergkamp, ​​Mawson, Vieira, they stepped onto the podium to accept the award.Although Zola and Overmars only joined the team in the winter, they have made considerable contributions to the team in the past six months.Especially Zola, Overmars didn't have much playing time due to injury, but Zola played most of the games since the winter.

The players received the medals with smiles on their faces, and Vieira even ran over to kiss the trophy after receiving the medals.However, there is no rule in the Premier League that kissing the trophy is not allowed before the trophy is awarded. This childish move also attracted good-natured laughter from the fans present.

"Ian Wright, ranked first in the club's scorer list with 28 goals. It is a pity that Alan Shearer played well today, and two goals declared that he still occupies the top scorer list of the Premier League. Ian Wright needs to score at least three goals in the final round of the league if he wants to overtake Alan Shearer for the Golden Boot."

"It's just that they still have the final of the UEFA Cup to play. I guess they will give up in the last round? It's a pity. If both the Golden Boot and the league championship can be won, it should be for Ian Wright. One of the most successful seasons. It's just a pity that he met Alan Shearer, the best goalscorer in England in these years!"

Last in line are Arsenal's captains and vice-captains, starting with vice-captain David Seaman.He only won a league championship for the team in the 1990-1991 season when he just joined Arsenal. At that time, England's top league was still called League One.However, he also created a record of conceding only 18 goals in a single season that season.

Last in line was Arsenal captain Tony Adams.Since he was appointed as the captain of Arsenal by Graham at the age of 21, he has won two league championships for the team in more than 9 years of his career, and now he has finally won his third league championship medal.

But as the captain, he is not just as simple as receiving a medal.After all the members received the Premier League trophy, Adams signaled to the vice-captain David Seaman, and the two jointly lifted the Premier League 1996-1997 season championship trophy!
"Huh? We noticed just now that there was an extra medal and no one claimed it. It turned out that this was because Arsenal had included Shawcross, who was still resting in the hospital, because of his health. Leaving the hospital. We all know what Shawcross went through more than a month ago. Well, this is the biggest affirmation the club has given him this year. Let us wish Shawcross a speedy recovery and return to the game."

Shawcross, who was lying quietly on the bed, was watching the live TV with tears streaming down his eyes.He has known for a long time that after this game, Arsenal may win the championship in advance and hold the award ceremony.I have been watching the live broadcast on the TV in the ward, and just now Shao Bo and the others called Shawcross after the game, saying that they would give him a surprise, but this is what they didn't expect.

Shawcross' parents also watched TV with him, and Shaw's mother shed tears after hearing the commentator's words.The TV is still broadcasting the awards ceremony live...

"We congratulate the Arsenal team. They won the Premier League championship again after a lapse of 6 years! And they are not stopping now. Arsenal is now very likely to win the double crown."

The trophy was passed in everyone's hands, and the camera captured the scene of every player raising the trophy and roaring excitedly.Champagne was sprayed as if they didn't need money. Indeed, compared to a league champion, no one really cared about these bottles of champagne.

But after celebrating for a while, some staff reminded them that they should prepare to take a group photo in front of the stage.Vieira and Anelka walked on the lawn in front of the podium, showing their white teeth.

At this time, the official reporter will take the best angle to take pictures, which will be made into photo albums and sold in stores.David Dane's business acumen has never stopped. He has already thought of recording the entire game today, including the awards ceremony, on a CD. There will definitely be many Arsenal fans willing to buy one as a souvenir. of.

The league championship trophy that was originally placed on the podium has long been held by the players and ran around the stadium. The fans in the front row are blessed. They have the opportunity to touch the trophy at close range and feel the light reflected by the lights.Mawson ran forward with the trophy in both hands, Dixon Lee and Martin Keown chased after each shaking champagne with their hands, and two players went back to the player tunnel to get two bottles of champagne to replenish their ammunition.It seems that these guys won't rest until the table is set up.

　The third update!The team does not only rely on the 11 people on the field, so every staff member will indeed be rewarded in reality.Interested children's shoes can look for such videos.By the way, pay tribute to the staff who quietly contributed their strength behind the scenes.
