"The match is over!!!" Almost at the same time Michael blew his whistle, Lineker roared out the words that had been stuck in his throat for so long, "The match is finally over!! Leeds United has become the new kings of Europe!! After thirty-three years, this white rose that has walked back from the brink of hell, under the careful nurturing of an Eastern face, has finally blossomed at the pinnacle of European football!!"
"Yes, it's over!! After a grueling 120-minute battle in this final, Lee's Leeds United emerged victorious, defeating Ferguson's Manchester United 2-1!! For Lee and Leeds United, this is undoubtedly a season that will go down in the club's history!! Before this, they had already won the Premier League title and the FA Cup, and now they have won the UEFA Champions League! At the end of the year, they will also represent Europe in the FIFA Club World Cup!!" Jon shouted excitedly.
"What a pity for Ferguson..." Zola sympathized with the silent Sir Alex Ferguson sitting on the Manchester United bench. "Last year he won three runner-up titles, this year he gave up the FA Cup early to focus on the league and the Champions League, and then Leeds United came along... It's such a shame..."
On the field.
The Leeds United bench erupted into a frenzy the moment the whistle blew, with players charging onto the pitch like wild horses.
The only one who still retains a sliver of reason.
Only Li Shiguang remained.
After slightly adjusting his facial expression, Li Shiguang approached Ferguson, who had just stood up from his seat, with a smile.
Li Shiguang and Ferguson have a good relationship.
Or rather, before Leeds United made a formal offer to buy Ronaldo, Li Shiguang and Ferguson were considered to be on good terms.
certainly.
Li Shiguang also believes that, given Ferguson's perspective, once he accepts the fact that Ronaldo will most likely leave the team at the end of the season, their relationship will return to what it was before.
So Li Shiguang chose to postpone the celebration and first comfort the elderly Scottish man.
Li Shiguang thought Ferguson would be particularly disappointed, but when he took Ferguson's hand, it was the old sage who spoke first.
"Congratulations, Lee, Leeds United have had a great season."
"Thank you, Alex."
"Wow... time flies." Ferguson sighed and turned his gaze to the pitch. "I still remember the first time I played against you. You were somewhat constrained by Leeds United's squad and looked a bit awkward."
"But I never expected that in just three years, you would lead that nearly broken Leeds United to the top of Europe."
No one is unhappy to hear praise from others, especially when that praise comes from a world-renowned manager like Ferguson.
Li Shiguang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a handsome smile appeared on his lips.
"Alex, I told you before, I'm a genius! As a genius, isn't it normal for me to accomplish such a feat?"
Oh shit!
You're getting cocky when I say you're fat!
Ferguson glanced at Li Shiguang with a displeased look: "Don't be so smug. You've won this year, but next year... I'll bring back both the league title and the Champions League title."
I remember Ferguson still had a few years left before retiring.
I just saw the old lord looking like that.
Li Shiguang thought he had already begun to consider resigning.
Seeing that Ferguson had regained his fighting spirit, Li Shiguang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest.
The Premier League would be much less fun without this veteran.
After talking with Ferguson.
Li Shiguang could no longer contain his joy and ran quickly onto the field towards his Leeds United players who were embracing and celebrating with each other.
····
In stark contrast to the excited Leeds United players were the Manchester United players who stood bewildered on the pitch.
To be honest.
Manchester United have been playing really well this season.
They battled Leeds United to the final round of the league, even taking the lead in the crucial match, but ultimately the game ended in a draw, costing them the championship.
The match that just ended followed almost the same script.
One hand had already touched the Big Ears Cup.
As a result, Adriano turned the tide with two headers.
Older, more experienced players like Giggs and Ferdinand can still manage to cope with defeat.
The younger players, like Rooney and Ronaldo, were already squatting on the field, sobbing uncontrollably.
Reaching the Champions League final twice in two years and finishing as runners-up twice has completely shattered the mental defenses of these young players...
····
soon.
The awards ceremony at Luzhniki Stadium is ready.
The players from both teams came to the podium, waiting for the awards ceremony to officially begin.
Manchester United, who finished as runners-up, were the first to step onto the podium.
The dejected Manchester United players, their faces gloomy, each went up to receive a silver medal.
However, it is quite obvious.
They didn't care about the silver medal.
After embracing UEFA President Michel Platini, who was in charge of presenting the awards, Cristiano Ronaldo even took off the silver medal that Platini had just hung around his neck and walked off the stage dejectedly.
After Manchester United's players receive their awards, it will be Leeds United's turn.
In contrast to the somber atmosphere at Manchester United.
Leeds United were much happier.
In the entire Leeds United squad, only Kaká has won the Champions League title. For these young players, the Champions League title means more than just honor; it also includes substantial prize money, endorsements, and an increase in market value.
