"The match is over! Congratulations to Lee! Congratulations to Leeds United! Lee has fulfilled his promise and led Leeds United to the Premier League title this season! This is Leeds United's first top-flight league title since the 1991-1992 season!! They have waited a full fifteen years for this moment!!"
"Although they faltered in European competitions, and although they faced many setbacks on their journey to win the Premier League title, their perseverance moved God at the last moment! I am honored to announce that Leeds United are the new kings of the English Premier League!" Lineker's emotions finally calmed down a bit, but he still spoke with a slightly emotional sob in his voice.
"This is incredible! My fellow fans watching on TV! This is absolutely incredible!" Jon kept praising Leeds United, but he didn't forget to take a jab at Ferguson. "I wonder if the Manchester United players and Ferguson at Old Trafford know about this news. I bet they were already celebrating their impending title win a minute ago!"
····
Jon's guess was indeed correct.
After Ferguson walked over and said that Leeds United had pulled one back, he kept an eye on the time.
He was not alone in his behavior; the Manchester United fans who lingered in the Old Trafford stands after the match also did the same, with most of them constantly shifting their gaze between their phones or watches and the electronic screens at the top of the stadium.
To be honest, the waiting process was not pleasant.
Ferguson felt his heart pounding. He wanted to look at the electronic screen, but he was also afraid that the numbers on the screen would change in the next second.
Time passed second by second.
Cheers gradually began to rise from the stands, and as time went on, they grew louder and louder.
On the bench.
The veterans, including Scholes and Giggs, remained relatively calm, sitting quietly in their seats, but a hint of anticipation could be seen on their faces.
Meanwhile, Rooney and Ronaldo, among other young players, could no longer contain their excitement and began pacing back and forth behind Ferguson.
Sudden.
Ferran's phone, which he had been clutching, finally vibrated. He picked it up with great joy and held it in his sight, but the information displayed on the screen dealt him a heavy blow!
Leeds United have just taken the lead, 3-2!
The words on the phone screen were few, but they felt like heavy hammer blows striking Ferran's heart.
Whether it was a hallucination or not, at this moment, Ferran felt that the cheers from the stands suddenly became quieter and sounded particularly jarring!
He mechanically walked towards Ferguson with his phone in hand. Before he could even speak, the old sir turned his back to the bench.
Ferran looked into Ferguson's eyes with a complicated expression, his mouth slightly open.
But before he could finish speaking, Ferguson patted Ferran lightly on the shoulder, then pointed to the electronic screen above his head and said in a dejected tone, "No need to say anything, I already know."
Following the direction Ferguson was pointing, Ferran looked up.
The bottom right corner of the electronic screen.
The score was 2-2 just moments ago, but now it's 3-2.
It stung his eyes!

Unlike Old Trafford, which suddenly fell silent, Elland Road turned into a sea of joy after Atkinson blew the final whistle.
The security guards at the scene could no longer stop the crazy fans from rushing onto the field, or rather, they themselves joined in the frenzy!
After Li Shiguang and Simeone finished celebrating their victory by hugging each player on the bench, they were preparing to rush onto the field to comfort the other players.
But after taking only two steps forward, he sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw that the fans in the stands had already rushed onto the field, waving clothes, scarves, or all sorts of homemade cheering props.
Sensing something was wrong, Li Shiguang was about to slip away.
The next second, he felt his body lose its balance, and then he was lifted into the air, with several large hands carrying him towards the center of the court.
Then he heard a unified chant in his ears, "Lee! Lee! Lee! The savior of Leeds United! Lee! Lee! Lee! The guiding star of Leeds United! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lead Leeds United to the championship!"
At first, Li Shiguang was a little flustered. He shook his head and looked around. He found that the fans who raised him were the fans who often waited outside the Thorpe Arch training ground. Several of them were familiar faces. In addition, he heard the lyrics with a strange tune.
This put Li Shiguang's mind at ease.
He closed his eyes comfortably, feeling more and more fans and players joining the team, surrounding him, and walking towards the center of the field.
To be honest, as the team's head coach, as the man who led Leeds United step by step to the top of the Premier League!
Why think so much at this moment? Just enjoy the happiness!
····
After the frenzied celebrations ended, the fans in the stadium returned to the stands.
The FA staff set up the podium in the shortest possible time.
Next, the Leeds United players will be attending the awards ceremony.
Just now, Li Shiguang, in high spirits, announced the championship bonus to the players: one million euros per person, with additional bonuses for the players who scored goals and provided assists.
Leeds United's squad is mostly made up of young players. Apart from the three veterans Cannavaro, Rivaldo and Camoranesi, none of the others have ever stood on the top podium in a top league, including Li Shiguang.
So while waiting for the staff to set up the award stage, these young men surrounded Li Shiguang and danced an unknown dance. After all, for them, in addition to the honor, the substantial reward given by the boss was also something worth celebrating.
Subsequently, guided by on-site staff, the entire Leeds United team went up on stage to receive their medals.
Li Shiguang was last in line and received his medal from FA CEO Mark Brimham.
Before handing the medal to Li Shiguang, Bringham gripped Li's hand tightly and whispered jokingly in his ear, "Well done, Li! You didn't let me down. It's a good thing Leeds United won the championship at the last minute, otherwise my decision to come to Elland Road today would have offended Ferguson! Hahahaha."
“Thank you for believing in us, Mark,” Li Shiguang replied with a smile.
Afterwards, Li Shiguang did not try to steal the spotlight from the players. He simply stood on the side of the team and watched Kompany, wearing the captain's armband, walk to the table where the trophies were placed.
After picking up the trophy, Kompany returned to the middle of the team and, amidst the unified shouts of the Leeds United players, raised the trophy high!
Next.
As Kompany raised the trophy, Elland Road erupted in the loudest cheers of the day!
Eddie Gray's screams also came through the venue's sound system.
"The 2006-2007 Premier League title belongs to—Leeds United!!!"
