our champion dream

Chapter 172
Manchester United completed the substitution.Ferguson patted Li Xiaoming on the shoulder, and handed him a cup of special energy-enhancing drink,

After Park Ji-sung came on the field, Manchester United did not make any tactical adjustments, but continued to maintain the idea of ​​retreating 30 meters from the penalty area.

Even Rooney and Ryan Giggs, who played counterattacks, all returned to their own penalty area to help defend.There are still a few minutes before the end of the game. They don't want to make any more troubles, and filling the space in the penalty area with numbers is the best way.

If they don't do this, Manchester United may not be able to withstand the fierce attack of Inter Milan.

Inter Milan scored consecutive shots.At this time, don't pay attention to any organized offense, as long as a shot can be formed, it is a successful offense.

Only enough shots can bring goals to Inter Milan.

In this way, Manchester United was struggling under the indiscriminate bombing of Real Madrid, and the game time came to the last 2 minutes

There were boos from the stands at the same time.

Manchester United fans think that there is enough time for the game, and the referee should directly blow the whistle for the end of the game.No more time should be given.

At 119 minutes and 31 seconds, Inter Milan won a corner kick. Inter Milan's midfielder Sneijder came to take the corner kick in person.

This may be Inter Milan's last chance to attack in this game, so even Inter Milan's goalkeeper Cesar rushed into the penalty area, ready to contribute a little bit of his strength to the team's offense.

In fact, the gate was already very crowded. Players from both sides were inside, grabbing each other, and some even reached out to hug their opponents when the referee was not paying attention.

For this reason, the referee blew his whistle to pause the game, and then signaled the players on both sides not to have unnecessary physical contact.

His move drew boos from the Inter Milan fans in the stands, thinking that the Manchester United players were stalling for time.

In the second half, behind the Manchester United goal was the area where Inter fans gathered.

After a brief interlude, the corner could finally be taken.

Fans from both sides, who had been raucous before, fell silent and stared intently at the stadium...or to be more precise, in front of Manchester United's goal.

Players from both sides on the court are also ready to compete for the top.

With the whistle of the referee, Sneijder kicked the football hard towards the goal with his big foot.The football slid into a dramatic arc through the air.

Manchester United's front door also fell into chaos with the arrival of football. Everyone was crowded together. Players like Lucio, Milito and Keito'o were of course taken care of.

Even so, there is always one thing to keep in mind.When Samuel sprinted from behind and jumped over the heads of a group of Manchester United players, it still made Manchester United fans feel fear and despair-it would be terrible if he hit the ball!
But Samuel still really hit the ball, he even hit the ball without defense.

A powerful lion shakes his head, and he throws the football to the back corner of the goal!

"Samuel——!!"

When Samuel jumped up, the Italian commentator couldn't help shouting, and he was even ready to shout for a goal.

When the football flew towards the goal, many Manchester United fans fell into deep despair.

The football was pushed towards the goal by Samuel, then hit the lower edge of the crossbar, bounced down, and it was about to bounce into the goal!
At this critical moment, Rio Ferdinand, who was guarding the back post, jumped up vigorously and pushed the falling football out with his head!

"Ferdinand!" He Ping applauded. "A clearance on the goal line! This clearance is too critical!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Ferdinand! Rio Ferdinand!" Martin Taylor was also very excited. "Another wonderful muffled clearance. This is the second time in this game that he has defended Inter Milan from a must-goal opportunity! Inter Milan has no chance, no chance.!"

The football was pushed out by Ferdinand, then kicked out of the touchline by Evra

It stands to reason that at this time the referee can directly blow the whistle to the end of the game.

But he didn't, and he signaled Manchester United to continue the attack from the kick-in.

There was a booing from the Manchester United fans in the stands.

The Inter Milan fans saw hope and cheered for their team loudly.

They thought Inter would seize the few minutes of stoppage time to equalize at the last minute and send the game to penalties.

It would be best to be able to score a goal during the countdown, that would be really cool...

Thinking of this, many Inter Milan fans became excited.

I can't help but start to imagine what kind of scene it will be in my mind.

But the reality is very cruel.

When Guioh and Milan's attack was finally kicked away by Li Xiaoming, the referee blew the whistle, but it was not the whistle to signal Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar to kick the goal kick, but two short whistles, one long whistle, three whistles. Sound the whistle!

"The game is over——!!!" He Ping almost shouted, and when the referee raised his arm, he couldn't wait to yell out such a sentence. "The game is over! Manchester United are the champions! They are the European champions! Li Xiaoming has become the first Chinese player to win the Champions League in history! He is also the youngest player to win the Champions League! He broke the record held by Iker Casillas Record. It's an amazing achievement."

"It's over! Manchester United beat Inter Milan 120-3 in the final after 2 minutes of hard work to win their fourth Champions League title in club history! It was fantastic for Ferguson and his team A season is an incredible season, but it is also a season of difficult trek!" Martin Taylor also said excitedly.

"I can't help mentioning that the biggest hero of this game, at least in my opinion, is Li Xiaoming, a young man who was an amateur player a year ago, but staged the most beautiful fairy tale this summer, the most perfect turn , You must know that this is the stage of the Champions League final, which is the highest level of competition in the world. I don’t think there are any words of praise that can make me praise this young man. The Big Ears Cup is his best compliment in this game and this season. "

The Manchester United players on the bench were like wild horses, rushing onto the pitch, and so did the Manchester United managers.

Only Ferguson was able to stabilize his emotions and took the initiative to go to Inter Milan's coach Mourinho.

The grievances and grievances between him and Mourinho can't be finished even if the most paparazzi England writer writes for three days and three nights.But this does not prevent Ferguson from admiring Mourinho, and the pair of friends who have never seen each other cherish each other.

Besides, if it wasn't for this game, he wouldn't have the chance to reunite with his old friend.You must know that the probability of the two parties meeting each other is very low.

Facing Ferguson who took the initiative to shake hands, Mourinho also adjusted his expression and extended his hand.

Two people hold each other.Mourinho is still unconvinced.

But Ferguson honestly admitted: "In the latter part of the game, we as coaches can only count on the players, right?"

Mourinho nodded: "What an amazing young man. If I had the opportunity, I would like to coach him. But this season has also been great for me. Good luck to you and your team. "

"Back to England, drinking red wine?"

"no problem."

The two coaches separated, and Ferguson couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart any longer, and hurried towards his players.

Excited like an old urchin who hasn't grown up yet.

Mourinho saw his happy back behind him, shook his head slightly, then turned to his coaching staff colleagues, stretched out his hand to them, and comforted them: "Okay, don't be sad. Anyway, we had a great season together. I appreciate everyone's cooperation, after all, it has been an amazing season for us."

Facing the strong Mourinho, some emotional players couldn't help but burst into tears.

There can only be one winner. After the game is over, some people will be happy and some will be sad.

This is football and this is life.

When Ferguson shook hands with Mourinho, Manchester United's players were already celebrating wildly on the pitch.

Ferdinand, who helped the team defend the final moment, embraced with his teammates, and saw Li Xiaoming squatting on the ground alone, with one hand on the ground and the other covering his face.

He leaned over from behind, knelt down and put his hands on Mark's shoulders: "Why are you crying, what a joy!"

Li Xiaoming burst into tears and said: "I just cried when I was happy... Do you know, Leo, this scene is beyond my imagination..."

Leo smiled and pulled Li Xiaoming into his arms: "Didn't we win the championship? That's the most important thing."

When Li Xiaoming heard what Rio Ferdinand said, he burst into tears.He thought of his original intention, isn't it just to set foot on the European arena one day and win those enviable championships.

At that time, Li Xiaoming was still on the school team of L University in South China. For him at that time, it was his dream to be able to go to the European team, wear a European jersey and set foot on the European field.As for participating in the Champions League final, scoring goals in the Champions League final, and helping the team win the Champions League - such a thing is really unthinkable...

Now it's all come true.

life...

Ferdinand put his arms around Li Xiaoming and patted him on the back: "Okay, don't cry, didn't you see those cameras? When the time comes, the whole world will see how you cry!"

After Ferdinand said this, Li Xiaoming finally stopped crying. He wiped away his tears and followed Ferdinand to the cheering teammates.

After a season of hard work, he finally won two heavyweight championships.For the Manchester United players, this is the most wonderful moment.

At this time, you have to enjoy it wholeheartedly, and don't think about anything else...

However, after Rio Ferdinand and Li Xiaoming returned to the players and celebrated with each other for a while, Li Xiaoming seemed to remember something and ran back to the bench on the sidelines, rummaged through the bench, and finally found it A stack of red cloth.

He shook it off and put it on his body, and it turned out to be a Chinese flag!
Wearing this national flag, Li Xiaoming ran around the field, fully displaying the five-star red flag on his body.He even ran in front of the camera.Make a gesture of kissing the camera.

"Li Xiaoming suddenly took out a national flag, it seems that he was prepared..." He Ping was also moved when he saw this scene.

A game like the UEFA Champions League is a game between clubs. There will be no flag-raising ceremony or national anthem.

But in fact, everyone still often sees the national flag on the football field, which is the way players from their respective countries express themselves.

But before that, no one has ever seen China's five-star red flag appear on this highest stage.

Nowadays, when this touch of red appears in front of the eyes of Chinese fans, many people are still a little uncomfortable...

"It's the national flag..."

"Li Xiaoming actually prepared the national flag..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In sharp contrast to the extremely excited Manchester United players are the dejected players.

They worked hard for a season. Although they won a league title and an Italian Cup title, for players of such a top club, the Champions League is the championship they most want, but they also lost to Manchester United in the Champions League.This kind of sadness cannot be compensated by the league and an Italian Cup champion.

Every Inter Milan player stood on the pitch after the game, looking sadly at the Manchester United players who were cheering and celebrating.

This feeling of losing the championship is as painful even for these players who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

They have worked hard for a season, isn't it just to win the honor of European clubs?
Under such a blow, many Inter Milan players were disheartened.

Mourinho comforts his players one by one on the pitch.

~~~~~~~~
When the players on one side celebrated wildly and the players on the other side were dejected, the preparations for the award ceremony at the Bernabéu Stadium were also done.

Manchester United's players gathered as they waited for the awards ceremony to begin.

On the Chinese Internet, there are also heated discussions about this game, all of which are congratulations to Li Xiaoming.

Li Xiaoming created the number one Chinese player in history, and he certainly deserves praise.

And many think that Li Xiaoming actually created the number one Asian player-he was the first Asian player to play in the Champions League final and help the team win the Champions League.Although Park Ji-sung won the Champions League before, but in 2008 when Manchester United won the Champions League, Park Ji-sung did not enter Manchester United's squad for the Champions League final at all. He sat in the stands and watched the game.He is eligible to win the Champions League medal because he played enough times in the previous Champions League games, but he did not contribute much in the most critical final.

This Champions League champion has a kind of meaning of "laying down and taking it", which is not convincing enough.

If you take Park Ji-sung's achievements in the Champions League as a benchmark, then Li Xiaoming has already surpassed Park Ji-sung's benchmark at a young age, standing in front of Asian players as a mountain.

This season, Manchester United can go all the way to the final and win the championship. Li Xiaoming has contributed a lot to this.
