Chapter 660 The Power of Five Crowns

Inside the Olympic Stadium, half is a sea of ​​joy, and half is a sky of sadness.

The red Manchester United fans were cheering and happy, while the white Milan fans were already crying.

Competitive sports are so cruel, and in the end there is only one champion.

There is nothing in this world that is as painful as Milan fans. After all, they lost a Champions League final two years ago and today they were losers again.

In Dong Fangzhuo's memory, the most sad fans over the years should be Atletico Madrid fans and Juventus fans. After all, they both lost two finals, but Milan was not so miserable. They originally won This year's champion.

But history has changed...

Dong Fangzhuo looked around and looked at the surrounding Milan players. Several of them burst into tears, such as Kaka, Pirlo, Bonera, etc. Even the tough guy Gattuso couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Ambrosini Then he knelt on the turf and finally buried his head in the turf.

The sculpture-like Milan captain Paolo Maldini stood motionless, staring at the unfamiliar night sky in Athens, as if in communion with God, asking God why Milan failed again.

Dida was holding on to the goalpost and had no strength left. Jankulovsky slowly came over to support him, and the two finally hugged each other tightly.

On the side of the court, the guys on the bench couldn't help themselves. Coach Ancelotti slowly walked into the court and first hugged Inzaghi. Inzaghi's face was as cold as if he had just crawled out of a coffin...

What a sad scene...

"Hey, I'm really sorry." Dong Fangzhuo walked to Kaka and gently touched Kaka's head. The handsome Kaka's eyes were already red now. After all, he was still a child.

At this moment, he was just like a child who had his candy gift taken away.

Speaking of losses, Kaka probably suffered the most. It seemed that Dong Fangzhuo had 'robbed' everything that should have belonged to Kaka.

"Come again next year..."

Dong Fangzhuo didn’t know what to comfort him. This was the most important Big Ear Cup, not an ordinary trophy, and it was related to the future competition for the Golden Globe Award...

"Milan, Milan."

"Why should we meet Manchester United..."

Huang Jianxiang sighed in his heart. If it weren't for Dong Fangzhuo, he should have firmly stood on Milan's side. The sense of loss in his heart now is much less than that in 2005.

As Zhang Lu said, you can't have your cake and eat it too, there are always winners and losers.

"It's time for Milan to change its blood. There are too many old people in the team. You can't always create the most expensive value with the lowest cost. Milan still has Kaká. As long as the young Kaká is healthy in Milan, Then Milan will always have hope, and Galliani and Berrisconi should think carefully about Milan's future."

The Milan players were slowly and sadly leaving the field. Maldini was the last to leave. When he passed by and looked at the Big Ear Cup next to him, his old face twitched. This time, it should be the last time that he would be so close to the Big Ear Cup...

Milan fans are also leaving. Eighteen thousand Milan fans are leaving quickly. They don’t want to stay here and watch the Manchester United players lift the Big Ear Cup with their own eyes.

This kind of pain is simply worse than death.

The Olympic Stadium gradually regained its vitality and joy, becoming a sea of ​​Manchester United fans...

Ferguson greeted the disciples who were thanking the fans to line up because the award ceremony was about to take place.

The camera also kept focusing on UEFA President Platini, who was about to present the award to Manchester United.

In the center circle, the awards stage was quickly set up. Manchester United players lined up to stand on it. Platini hung a gold medal around the neck of each first-line player, and finally handed the Big Ear Cup to Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo lowered his head and kissed the big ear cup gently, then raised it high!

"Five-Crown Champion!"

Huang Jianxiang roared at that moment, Manchester United fans cheered again at that moment, and the Champions League theme song sounded again.

The sky is filled with colorful colors.

This night at the Athens Olympics is destined to belong to Manchester United...

Cristiano Ronaldo took the trophy from Dong Fangzhuo's hands, kissed the trophy equally affectionately, and then the trophy was lifted in the hands of each player in turn...

Veterans such as Giggs and Scholes seemed even more excited. Their faces were completely distorted. You can imagine how eager they are for the Big Ear Cup.

"We have to win him next year!"

"I don't want to retire anymore!"

※※※※

"He did it, he really did it." In the stands, Keane looked firmly at Dong Fangzhuo in the stadium, but there were tears in his eyes.

"Two years ago he told me that one day he would help Manchester United win the third Big Ear Cup."

Beckham put his hands on his thighs and listened quietly. He was not familiar with Dong Fangzhuo, so he could only listen to the stories told by Keane...

The celebration lasted for nearly an hour, and Manchester United fans refused to leave for a long time. The eight-year wait was really not easy.

Back in the locker room, the Manchester United players started taking various selfies holding the trophy. They were naked. Today was definitely the happiest day.

At this time, at the press conference outside, the sad Ancelotti still bravely faced the news media around the world, and his words were quite brief.

"Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the championship."

"Milan failed and the responsibility lies with me."

"Football is like this, there are always losers, and unfortunately it is us, but we still have life, and we still have tomorrow, so everyone will spend this difficult summer well after tonight's sadness... …”

At this time, no one cares about the losing side, people would rather see Ferguson and his Manchester United players appear at the press conference.

"Congratulations, you finally led the team to win the five-time championship."

The reporters first congratulated Ferguson...

Five-time champion, Ferguson raised the corner of his mouth and smiled sincerely. This word has been mentioned countless times by media reporters in the past month, but he always tries to avoid it because it can confuse people's minds.

But things are different now. The five-time champion has arrived, and he has led the team to truly accomplish all of this.

For most teams, there are up to six official trophies that can be competed for in a season, namely the Champions League, League, Domestic Cup, Domestic Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup (the Premier League has one more League Cup).

A team that has won the Champions League, the League, and the domestic cup can be called a Triple Crown winner, and the team that wins two more trophies can be called a Five Crown winner. The five-time champion team in history actually appeared once.

Ajax led by Cruyff was the first true five-time champion team in European football. In 1972, they won the Eredivisie championship, the Champions League championship, the Dutch Cup championship, the European Super Cup championship and the Intercontinental Cup. Champion (the predecessor of the Club World Cup), if it were not for the Dutch Super Cup at that time, Ajax could have become the first team in history to win six crowns. That Ajax team back then could definitely compete with the strongest team in history.

Then there is Manchester United today. Manchester United is the second team to do it. That's why Ferguson smiled so happily.

Manchester United still has the European Super Cup and Club World Cup to play this year, so Manchester United may still have two championships. Of course, this is the New Year's Eve honor.

Next, Ferguson started talking...

After Manchester United won the championship, news media around the world published articles immediately.

UEFA's official website used "Manchester United wins record five crowns" as the title. The article wrote that with the Manchester United captain's brace and Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning free kick, Manchester United defeated AC Manchester United led by Kaká. Became the European Champions Cup champion this season and also won five crowns.

FIFA also wrote: The incredible performance of the Manchester United captain allowed Manchester United to win a record-breaking five crowns. He refreshed his own Champions League scoring record with 19 goals. At this moment in history, Manchester United players are going crazy...

"The Sun" said when describing the game that with the help of the Manchester United captain's last-minute barb, Manchester United finally won the victory, which also completely shattered AC Milan's Champions League dream, and finally the Red Devils won the championship trophy.

The headline of "Sky Sports" wrote - Manchester United has the Champions League firmly in their hands, Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ferguson are heroes.

ESPN put it simply and clearly: break the record! Manchester United became the five-time champions, tying Ajax's record. They are the most successful club in the history of English football.

The "Guardian" praised that under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United has killed all over the world this season, defeated all the powerful players in Europe, and finally stood on the top of Europe. Another Manchester United dynasty under Ferguson has set sail.

"The Telegraph" put it concisely and to the point: Manchester United are the champions! Manchester United is a five-time champion!

The authoritative French media "L'Equipe" specially produced a Manchester United champion column on its website, with a picture of Dong Fangzhuo roaring after scoring a goal, supplemented by the title "Manchester United rules Europe!" to praise the greatness of the Red Devils. The article stated that the current Manchester United will make Europe tremble in the next ten years.

As AC Milan's opponent in the Champions League final, Manchester United has also received strong attention from the Italian media. "Gazzetta dello Sport" extremely rarely wrote on the headline: Five crowns! Ancelotti's team lost completely in Athens, and Kaka, who was alone, could not lead Milan to victory. However, Manchester United's Chinese Dong and Portuguese stars shined at the same time, allowing the championship to fall firmly into the hands of Manchester United. Galliani really needs to change the team's business philosophy. You can't always buy a few thirty-year-olds to keep the team competitive in the Champions League...

"Turin Sports Daily" said: "Five crown champions! Juventus needs to learn from Manchester United. What did Juventus lack when they were imprisoned? But a figure like the captain of Manchester United! If we have such a player, 0203 The one who has the last laugh is Juventus, not AC Manchester United."

Basically any media mentioned Dong Fangzhuo when reporting on Manchester United. Without Dong Fangzhuo, there would be no third Champions League in Manchester United's history. This is beyond doubt.

The Manchester Evening News, which is not as influential as these media, focused on the description of Dong Fangzhuo: "He used 19 goals in exchange for the third Champions League in Manchester United's history. Of course, these 19 Champions League goals The ball is quite great. You know, the previous record for goals in a Champions League season was 12 last year. This year he has improved by 7 goals. This goal record is expected to be maintained for many years, and the breaker may be himself. .”

"He used 33 league goals to win Manchester United's ninth championship in the history of the Premier League. These 33 goals are also the most in the history of the Premier League. He is the only one who can break it."

"His goals in the FA Cup and League Cup finals brought him two championships."

"Manchester United's five-time champion, each championship has left his deep footprints and his unparalleled goals."

"His 57 goals will forever go down in the history of football."

"His name is fangzhuo Dong."

"He actually broke the record personally..."

※※※※

Manchester United rushed back to Manchester overnight. The next day, all Manchester United players took a bus to celebrate. The streets of Manchester were overcrowded. The five-time champion Manchester United fans occupied the entire city.

Manchester City fans can only close their doors and windows and stay at home, not wanting to see such a scene at all. They wanted Manchester United to have nothing, but Manchester United won everything they could win.

But there were still curious young Manchester City fans lying on the balcony watching this grand event, and their friends were whispering.

"Why is Manchester United so strong?"

"I always think red is much prettier than blue."

"Why are we not Manchester United fans but Manchester City fans?"

"That's because your parents are Manchester City fans."

"..."

"Xiao Dong, when do you plan to report to the national team?"

On the third day, Zhu Heyuan called Dong Fangzhuo. The national team gave Dong Fangzhuo enough face and did not recall him to the national team on the day he won the championship. Instead, he let Dong Fangzhuo have enough fun first and then captured him. .

For Dong Fangzhuo, this summer is still a summer without much time to rest. He has been working hard for three consecutive summers.

In 2005, he competed in the World Youth Championship with Chen Tao.

In 2006, he competed with the national team in the World Cup in Germany.

In 2007, he will compete with the national team in the Asian Cup.

In 2008, maybe he will compete with the Chinese Olympic team in the Beijing Olympics.

Maybe, if he wants to take a break, he has to wait until 2009.

Dong Fangzhuo counted the time and was shocked. In the blink of an eye, he had been reborn for three and a half years.

Three and a half years, why did it happen so quickly?

And it took him three and a half years to win almost all the honors that the club can win. Of course, he is still short of a European Super Cup and a Club World Cup. These two championships should be available next season. …

As for personal honors? That is the European Golden Globe Award at the end of the year. There will be no World Cup or European Cup in 2007. According to past experience, there is a high probability that the Golden Globe Award will not be missed...

"Director Zhu, I want to rest for half a month and then report to the national team at the end of June."

"The end of June seems a bit late, right? Can it be moved a little earlier?"
