Chapter 161 We Are Champions
When Degan sent the ball into the Manchester United goal, the whole stadium erupted immediately. Degan looked around at the Fiorentina fans who were celebrating wildly in the stands, but what surprised him was that he couldn't hear anything. When it arrived, there was only a buzzing in his ears. Originally, he thought he would be very excited, but after he really won the game, he found that he was surprisingly calm.
The first one to pounce was Frey, another hero of the game. In the penalty shootout, he saved the penalty kicks of Kim Mauro and Park Ji-sung consecutively.
Degan only felt a violent impact, and then fell to the ground, and then more and more teammates rushed up, pressing him to the bottom.
"Champions! Rhodes! We're champions! European champions! We're kings of the fucking world!"
Digan gradually recovered his hearing, and Frey's loud voice shook him until his scalp became numb again.
Won! Really won!
The Fiorentina players were celebrating crazily, while the Manchester United players fell to the ground one by one, unable to hide the pain of the defeat. Jin Maoluo cried bitterly. This was the closest he came to the top of Europe, but he missed it.
Missing the penalty filled his heart with remorse, and he couldn't hold back the tears, and shed them.
Ferguson on the sidelines lost his mind for a while, but he still walked towards Prandelli. Even if he failed, he still wanted to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, and Manchester United's loss in this game was not wronged. Fiorentina did have this strength.
"Congratulations!" Ferguson offered to extend his hand.
Seeing this, Prandelli, who was celebrating with the coaching staff, quickly extended his hand to shake Ferguson: "Thank you very much, Sir Ferguson!"
Looking at Prandelli, Ferguson suddenly felt that he was really old, and shook his head: "You guys have performed very well, you deserve the championship! But if we have another chance next time, we will definitely win!"
Prandelli didn't want to hit this stubborn old Scottish man anymore, so he just smiled: "We'll talk about it later!"
Ferguson turned and left, walked onto the pitch, and went to comfort his players. This game was not their fault. If he was to be held accountable, he should be responsible first. Before the game started, Ferguson did despise the young Fiorentina team. team, and he paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy.
Looking at Jin Maoluo, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, Ferguson sighed and pulled him up. He was very annoyed with Jin Maoluo. Jin Maoluo's paranoia made Manchester United miss many opportunities, but at this time, Ferguson I just want to comfort the child: "Okay! Cristiano! Don't cry, you are still young, you still have a chance!"
Jin Maoluo didn't expect Ferguson to be the first person to comfort him, which made him feel even more guilty: "I'm sorry! Boss! It's all my fault!"
Ferguson waved his hand: "I don't want to hear this now, Cristiano. I want to make up for your mistakes. There are a lot of things you have to do next. First of all, you have to learn how to play smartly. Look at that Brazilian kid. He's so much better than you, I want you to catch him and lead Manchester United to beat him, understand?"
Jin Maoluo held back his tears and nodded vigorously. This time he was really sober. He hated failure, hated failure very much, and he didn't want the same thing to happen again, especially losing to Digan!
The awards ceremony was quickly set up, and the Manchester United team took the lead to go up to receive their medals as runners-up. Golden Mauro lowered his head, allowing Platini to hang the humiliating silver medal around his neck.
"You did a great job, I look forward to being able to help you put on the gold medal with my own hands next time!"
Jin Maoluo smiled bitterly, then nodded.
The runner-up has no human rights, and this is not their territory. After receiving the medal, Manchester United left the field immediately, and the champion Fiorentina is next.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the misjudgment and knew that someone was going to get them behind their backs, the joy of winning the championship made the Fiorentina players look very generous.
Except Digan!
Degan was at the end of the team. When he walked in front of Platini, his face suddenly became very ugly. He grabbed the medal and put it on himself, regardless of Platini's attitude. An almost distorted face.
"What an unmannered fellow!" Platini muttered in a low voice.
Degan's ears are very good. He heard it for real. He turned his head and sneered at Platini without controlling the volume: "At least I'm an upright fighter!"
Seeing this, Prandelli quickly gave Digan a hand. He didn't want to spoil Florence's championship celebration because of some trivial incidents at this time.
The next step is the highlight. Although he was very aggrieved, Platini, as the president of UEFA, had to fulfill his obligations and handed over the Big Ears Cup to Digan.
Degan took it directly, completely ignoring Platini, and walked to the middle of his teammates, and the Fiorentina players immediately flocked to his side.
Digan put the trophy down, then suddenly exerted force, and lifted the trophy high. At the same time, the surroundings of the award ceremony platform were also sprayed with ribbons and fireworks, and the Fiorentina players shouted and jumped excitedly. , Stretched his arms and wanted to touch the supreme trophy in European football.
"It's unbelievable. Fiorentina really did it, Degan really did it. On the road to the Triple Crown he promised, Fiorentina has taken another solid step. It's hard to imagine that Degan is less than 23 years old now, but There are already two Champions League trophies in his room of honor, what kind of height is his end point, maybe only time will tell!"
The Big Ears Cup is passed on in the hands of every Fiorentina player. No matter who gets it, they are not willing to let go. Once upon a time, the honor they didn't even dare to think about has now come true. It's like dreaming.
"Yes! I have always been very sure that me and my teammates will be the ultimate victors. There is no doubt about it. Never wavered, and I believe my teammates are the same, we are the best, so we are champions!"
Degan was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Although he had won this trophy in AC Milan before, this time the championship really belonged to him.
"This season has been perfect, the league title, and now the Champions League. Of course our season is not over yet. We have to go to the Stadio Olimpico and compete with Rome for the Coppa Italia. As I said before, our goal is the treble. No Who can stop us, no one!"
At the same time, Kaka in Brazil also witnessed the moment when Degan was crowned the European champion. Although he was just a bystander, Kaka was still happy for Degan.
It's just that while he was happy, Kaka couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. At this time last year, he was the protagonist, but what about now?
AC Milan's poor record can only make him reluctantly accept a season where all four players are empty.
"Ricardo! God! Why are you here!" Bosque separated the crowd and pulled Kakara out, "Ricardo! Your wife is in the delivery room, but you are watching the game!"
Kaka didn't know why, but after listening to Bosque's words, he felt a little dissatisfied, and frowned slightly: "Dad! Today is Rhodes' Champions League final!"
Bosque was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that although the two father and son had already untied their knots, Bosque obviously didn't care as much about Digan as he did for Kaka.
Just like in today's game, although Degan didn't ask for it, he definitely hoped that his family could come to watch the game.
"Forget about it." Bosque obviously didn't take it seriously, but smiled and said to Kaka, "Ricardo! I want to congratulate you, you are a father!"
Kaka was about to say something, but after listening to Bosque's words, her whole body froze, and then her heart was filled with ecstasy: "Caroline~~~~~~Is she~~~~~~~ Did she give birth?" ?"
Bosque nodded with a smile: "Yes! Ricardo! He is a beautiful boy!"
Kaka cheered, turned her head and glanced at the TV again, surrounded by people's congratulatory words, but at this moment Kaka simply couldn't care less about greeting people, and asked clearly which ward Caroline was in now , ran over quickly.
In the ward, Caroline, who had just been pushed out of the delivery room, looked very tired. To Kaka's surprise, Caroline's face was full of maternal brilliance at the moment, and the baby's body next to her was their child. .
"Ricardo!" Caroline's voice was very weak, but her face was full of happy smiles.
Kaka scratched her hair in embarrassment: "Sorry! Caroline! I was just now~~~~~~"
Caroline smiled: "Did Rhodes win?"
Kaka nodded quickly: "Yes! Rhodes won. In the penalty shootout, Rhodes scored the last penalty."
Caroline smiled: "That's really great, Ricardo! Come and see our little angel!"
Kaka leaned forward and looked at that immature face, flushed and wrinkled, but in Kaka's eyes, it was definitely the most beautiful face in the world.
"He's so pretty!"
Caroline turned around and looked at their child: "Ricardo! Give him a name!"
Kaka thought for a while: "How about giving Rhodes the opportunity to choose a name, I want him to share our joy!"
Caroline thought for a while, and nodded with a smile: "Okay! Do you want to call Rhodes now?"
Kaka shook his head: "No! Rhodes still has an important game, wait until after that game is over, and then tell him the good news!"
Kaka didn't want Degan to be distracted at this time, after all, Degan had a chance to win the first Triple Crown in Italian football history.
Caroline smiled: "Ricardo! You will definitely be able to do it in the future!"
