Chapter 369 He is the king!
When the three whistles came, in the entire East London, centered on the small town of Leiden, to the Walthamsto area where they were, and to the nearby areas, countless shouts of joy sounded from bars of all sizes, and countless wine in wine glasses were thrown into the air. Countless cars on the street stopped in an instant, and the drivers were honking desperately. Even the passengers had no complaints about this. They stretched their heads out of the window and cheered loudly.
In the Meacha Stadium, the atmosphere was definitely not inferior to Leiden and nearby places. The fans of Leiden Oriental in the stands were cheering at the top of their lungs, while the players ran around the stadium like chicken blood, celebrating and incoherently accepting interviews from reporters.
Xiao Ming stood in front of the coach's seat, perhaps because of his second championship, and after the excitement that had just ended the game, he quickly recovered his calmness.
After sorting out his clothes, Xiao Ming walked towards Heathfield. Today's game was very dangerous, and the winner was between the front line. If Daniel did not clear the goal of Elber, if it were not for taking advantage of the opportunity of Bayern players being distracted this time, he might have entered overtime, rather than becoming a celebration for Leiden East.
He thought that the cards in his hand were better than Bayern, but in the end he just narrowly won, which at least proved that Heathfield was still better than himself in on-site command. These veteran coaches are indeed not a good deal.
Seeing Xiao Ming coming towards him, Heathfield still maintained a certain degree of demeanor and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ming from afar: "Congratulations, Xiao... for being thirty-one, he won the Champions League twice. The young people are really amazing now."
Xiao Ming smiled: "We have better luck in this game. I hope we will have a chance to meet next season."
"There will definitely be." Heathfield grabbed Xiao Ming's hand and shook it hard, then let go: "There is no revenge in the world of football that cannot be avenged... If you have the chance next year, I will avenge you."
"I'll wait." Xiao Ming smiled and withdrew his hand. At this time, a group of reporters had already surrounded him with long spears and cannons. Heathfield shrugged, then nodded to Xiao Ming, turned around and left.
The reporters who surrounded him were not interested in Heathfield, which was the world of football, with success and defeat. Their interest was only focused on the winners, and they would not have any interest in the losers - maybe they would be interested, but that would be a while later.
"Mr. Xiao Ming, I am a reporter for the Times. How are you feeling after becoming the youngest head coach in history to win the Champions League, and setting a record of unbeaten in the entire season and the longest unbeaten record in England's top league?" asked a reporter who was already out of breath.
"It feels? Haha, that's all right? Of course it's too good to be better!" Xiao Ming laughed.
"One league championship, two Champions League championships... Now, like Nottingham Forest, Leiden East has become one of the only two teams to win the top league championship less than the Champions League. What do you think about this?"
"Then I have to thank UEFA. If it weren't for the expansion of the Champions League, we wouldn't have had the chance to participate in the Champions League in the past two seasons... It's not just for this reason that I support the expansion of the Champions League, but because after the expansion of the Champions League, there are more strong teams and the competition is more exciting... I like to challenge strong enemies. The Champions League after the expansion of the Champions League gave me more opportunities to face strong teams, haha!" Xiao Ming continued to laugh unscrupulously.
After answering these two questions, Xiao Ming waved his hands to the reporters and walked into the stadium.
Figo stood in the middle of the stadium, his face full of excitement. The transfer to Leiden Oriental a season ago was a helpless move, but he did not expect that after the transfer, he reached the peak of his career - the double champion of the Champions League and the League! His personal European Golden Globe Award! And here, those fans love themselves so much...
Seeing Xiao Ming coming towards him, Figo rushed over and hugged Xiao Ming: "Thank you, thank you, boss, thank you for bringing me to Leiden East and allowing me to win the Champions League!"
"I have to thank you, Louis!" Xiao Ming laughed and patted Figo's back: "With your efforts this season, we can't create such glory!"
The reporters next to them flashed in a flash, and the hug of the team's head coach and the number one star was also a good gimmick...
But what about the captain and vice captain of Leiden East?
Jin Kraze was hiding in the crowd and crying. He was the player who had been with Xiao Ming for the longest time. For seven years, he also changed from a 21-year-old young player to a 28-year-old veteran, and personally accompanied Leiden East to the peak! Although the Georgians are usually cheerful and open-minded, they can't help but become sentimental at this time.
After Xiao Ming left Figo, he accurately found Jin Klaze, who was hiding in the crowd and crying. Seeing Xiao Ming walking towards him, a large group of reporters followed behind. Jin Klaze hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, ran over to hug Xiao Ming, secretly hid his head in Xiao Ming's arms, and then covered Xiao Ming's body with tears...
"Damn! Qiao Zele, you really don't have the image of a captain!" Xiao Ming grabbed Jin Clarze's head and pushed him away. Jin Clarze laughed: "Boss, you can really attract bees and butterflies. Look at the large group of flies behind you..."
Of course, Jin Kraze spoke very quietly. Apart from Xiao Ming, none of the reporters heard it clearly. They were also concerned about taking a slap. Well, there was another title that could be written - the true feelings between the head coach Leiden Oriental and the captain...
"Look at Daniel, he really has the style of a captain!" He hugged Jinklaze's shoulder and looked at Daniel who was applauding in the stands with several teammates from afar. Xiao Ming said with a smile.
It was also him who knew that Jin Kraze and Daniel had a good personal relationship, so Xiao Ming would say that. Otherwise, if he changed to a narrow-minded captain, he would probably feel that the head coach wanted to cancel his captain and then help Daniel take the lead...
"Actually, Daniel is already twenty-three years old. Even if he is allowed to be the captain next year, it would be quite appropriate." Jin Krazer suddenly said to Xiao Ming seriously: "I know my personality. Sometimes it is a little softer. In the future, there will be more and more stars in the team. Only Daniel's personality can suppress people. Boss, if you let Daniel be the captain next year, I won't have any objection."
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jinklaze, whose eyes were clear, and it was obvious that what he said was indeed from the heart.
"Boss, you brought me to England. In 1996, I didn't think about going to Liverpool. I just saw Solskjaer and Pobosky transferring to Premier League teams and felt a little unbalanced... Fortunately, I didn't leave at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I am now." Jin Kraze continued: "I am now the most accomplished player among Georgian players. I don't have anything to think about now. I quietly helped Leiden East play for a few years. I will be very satisfied if I have the opportunity to be the head coach of Leiden East in the future."
"Don't think about it all." Xiao Ming smiled and touched Jin Clarze's head: "You are only twenty-eight years old! Louis is one year older than you, see how good he is now! You are very professional, and it will not be a problem to play in a high-level game for four or five years. We just won a league championship and two championships in the Champions League. When I kept you, I said, let's create legends together... Now the legends are beginning, you can't just relax like this, otherwise I will sell you."
"Of course!" Jinklaze showed a sincere smile.
In the box, Jessica and Britney were already shouting so hard that their voices were almost hoarse, and then they hugged each other.
"Celebrate your Daniel." Jessica said with a smile.
"Celebrate your Xiao." Britney blinked and said happily.
The players' celebration finally came to an end. They gathered in half of the stands where Leiden Oriental fans were, and then stood in a row. Xiao Ming behind him smiled and waved his hand, then shouted: "Run!"
His players ran down the stands as if they heard his call, and then swooped down collectively. Even louder cheers sounded from the stands!
After all this, the players returned to the locker room and replaced the championship commemorative T-shirt as usual - unlike the last time, this time it was based on red, with Arabic numerals "2" embroidered with gold-toned fonts behind it, indicating that this is the second time that Leiden Oriental won the Champions League in history.
Below the numbers, the lines of words "Leedon Oriental defended the Champions League champion in the 2000-2001 season" are marked in a smaller font.
The stadium has been built for celebration. Against the background of the European Champions League logo, there is a large row of red characters "2000-2001 European Champions League champion - Leiden Oriental".
For all Leiden people, this line of words is endlessly read.
The red carpet has been paved from the bottom of the steps to the rostrum. This is the road to glory and the road to championship.
The first one to go up to receive the medal was runner-up Bayern Munich. Their players walked up to the rostrum one by one, then took the silver medal awarded by UEFA President Johnson, and then walked down without saying a word, with no smile on their faces. Most people immediately took the silver medal from their necks and held it in their hands. When everyone received the prize, they almost looked at the silver trophy. It was so close to them, but so far...
The last one to come on stage to receive the award was Bayern's head coach Heathfield. The iron-faced coach maintained his demeanor. After shook hands with Johnson, he also exchanged greetings with the UEFA president, and then walked off the stage and stood with his players.
The row of senior officials and celebrities of Bayern clubs sitting behind the rostrum were not good-looking. Beckenbauer supported his jaw and said nothing. Heness wrapped his hands in his arms, his face as gloomy as it was about to rain. Nellinger smiled bitterly and kept shaking his head...
On the other side of them, several senior executives from Leiden East celebrated with high highs. Hilton raised his arms and cheered, as if he was back in the years when he swept Europe with Nottingham Forest. Kaft's dead face that had not changed for thousands of years also became a smile. Schindler did not have too many excited expressions, but was constantly thinking about how to maximize the impact of this championship.
Next was the scene where Leiden Oriental players received the prize. The players stood in a row and took turns to receive the prize. Figo was elected to be the first to receive the prize. The two captains of Jinklaze and Daniel remained at the end. They discussed it in the locker room, and finally let Jinklaze and Daniel raise the championship trophy together.
Daniel stood there, staring up at the trophy, and despite winning the second time, he was still so excited.
Xiao Ming poked him next to him and handed him a cell phone.
Daniel looked at Xiao Ming inexplicably, and Xiao Ming shook at him: "Why, don't you want to call Britney at this time? She is watching your game in the private room."
Seeing Xiao Ming pointing his hand upwards, Daniel widened his eyes in surprise. He was in a cold war with Britney in the past or two months. He originally thought Britney would not come to see his game...
"What a big deal. Britney didn't cuckold you. You are a man. Can you show off some demeanor?" Xiao Ming glared: "If you want to call, call quickly, don't delay receiving the award. It's not long, let's talk short."
Daniel looked at Xiao Ming gratefully, hid in the corner and called.
It was indeed a long story short. When the people around Xiao Ming began to become rare, Daniel had already finished the phone and returned the phone to Xiao Ming.
Seeing Daniel's brows relax and his depression was all untied, Xiao Ming laughed: "What, is it okay?"
"It's okay, boss, you're right. Men should be a little bit graceful." Daniel laughed: "By the way, boss, we're going to announce our relationship."
Now it was Xiao Ming's turn to be stunned, and then Daniel looked at Xiao Ming with a daze and began to quickly think: "You kid finally got it done... You are very handsome, and you have asked for a celebrity wife. It's a waste not to use it for publicity... Daniel, I have to package you two as the golden boy and jade girl from Leiden East. What awesome Manchester United? Isn't there just be a Beckham and a hot girl? Now we have our own top brands, Daniel, when we open the US market, we have to rely on you couple..."
Until he was about to come on stage to receive the prize, Xiao Ming was still muttering. He did not come to his senses until Johnson shook hands with him. Looking at the already familiar UEFA president, Xiao Ming smiled awkwardly.
Johnson seemed very open-minded: "Xiao, it seems that you are very excited to win the championship this time... I have always seen your face in the past few years, which is really boring."
"There's no way." Xiao Ming shrugged: "I will definitely win the championship I can win. Let's relax in the Champions League next year, and don't throw us into the death group..."
Johnson smiled, hung a medal around Xiao Ming's neck, and then exchanged a few more greetings with Xiao Ming, and then Xiao Ming left.
Standing in the middle of the player, Xiao Ming watched Jin Kraze and Daniel come over, and then asked Johnson and Platini to give them gold medals. At this time, the highlight of the entire award ceremony really began.
Johnson raised his big ear cup with some difficulty. Jinklaze and Daniel reached out at the same time, grabbed the handle on one side, then turned around, changed hands, and cooperated tacitly from facing the rostrum to facing the center of the court.
Then the two of them exerted their strength at the same time and raised the championship trophy over their heads!
The tide of cheers drowned out the entire court, making the ancient court seem to start trembling.
"Long live! We are the champions! Leiden Oriental! Double crown! Two consecutive championships! Unbeaten season!"
Words filled with brilliant meanings were shouted out by the Leiden Oriental fans on the scene, and the players were also shouting.
Take a walk around the field and sprint towards the trophy...
These celebrations without much technical content have made Leiden Oriental fans enjoy the view. Waiting for the whole season and winning the whole season is just for this moment? If you don’t celebrate at this time, when should you celebrate?
Xiao Ming was lifted up by the crazy players and then raised it over his head. He was carried by two big men, Gerald and Hypia, in a little embarrassed manner. It took a while before he could balance his body.
But soon, he got used to this feeling and began to raise his hands to greet the stands, enjoying this moment of glory.
Standing high above everyone, enjoying the unreserved respect and worship of the fans around you, this feeling is indeed very good. No wonder all the excellent men in the world pursue this feeling of being worshipped and surrounded by sentient beings.
Not returning home without returning home is like walking in brocade clothes at night. I have worked hard for so many years and have been so strongly stimulated? Isn’t it just for this moment and to enjoy the moment of reaching the peak?
Xiao Ming closed his eyes slightly and began to fully enjoy the feeling of making people feel extremely happy.
"Haha, look at Xiao like this! He thought he was the king?" Britney couldn't help but giggle when she saw this scene in the box.
Chapter completed!
