Chapter 295 Defending the Quadruple Champion
Benitez turned to comfort the players, while Ferguson was surrounded by reporters.
"Congratulations to your team for making new history, Sir Ferguson!"
"Thanks."
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Before the final, I thought we should win the championship, we should be the whole of Europe... no, the best team in the whole world, I'm glad this result proves my idea."
Winning the championship made Ferguson, who was already arrogant enough, even more arrogant. Of course, he has such a arrogant qualification...
Journalists like to see him arrogant. Once he is arrogant, his mouth will say a lot of words that make the media happy. Readers will climax under the media's ** and then everyone will be wet.
"Can you evaluate your opponent? Liverpool caused you some trouble in the second half..."
"It's just a trouble." Ferguson said lightly, "They did a good job in the second half, but they did not score a goal. Instead, they allowed us to score the goal and win the championship, which shows that we did better than them!"
“How does it feel to be a treble champion and defend the European Champions League?”
"He's so good! Haha!" Ferguson laughed, but couldn't help but swear. Now is the pinnacle of his life. He stands in the cloud of happiness, enjoying the compliments, praises and flatteries of those reporters, and enjoying the joy of winning the championship...
Jiang Feng stood up from his seat in the private room and looked at Ferguson and Manchester United players surrounded by reporters. He looked silently for a while, then turned around and walked out of the private room.
The game was over, and he had no intention of going downstairs to celebrate with the team, so he decided to leave the stadium.
Keane is with other players, thanking the Manchester United fans in the stands. He is not as excited as his teammates. He has seen big scenes, but he is still very happy.
He didn't expect that he could defend the triple crown in his late years of his career. Well, in the minds of people like Keane, he didn't see trophys like the League Cup and Community Shield. Only league champions, FA Cup champions and UEFA Champions League champions can be recognized by him.
Since the 13th year of the reform in the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the title, and now Manchester United has done so.
Since the founding of the Champions League for 50 years, no team has been able to defend the triple-championship, and now Manchester United has done so.
Manchester United is the most successful club in the world today, and Roy Keane is the captain of this most successful club. He personally led his teammates to win six gold-rich championship trophys for two consecutive years.
This is a record that can be remembered by history.
Behind him, Evra's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Roy! We are the champions! Haha, we are the champions, we defended the Champions League champion and the Triple Crown!"
Keane looked back at the happy Evra and replied, "Ah, yes, we are the Triple Crown again."
He will reread "again".
This is his second European Champions League. Keane failed to participate in the finals in 1999, so he believes that the championship has nothing to do with him.
Journalists rushed to Keane to interview him, the Manchester United captain, what do you think of the champion?
This is definitely not a special treatment. Other Manchester United players are being interviewed separately. Everyone can say a few words and they can turn into vivid live reports in the newspaper the next day.
Ferguson and Ronaldo, the teachers and students who had conflicts over the contract renewal and Ronaldo's undeliberate private life, hugged each other to celebrate the championship. Because of the championship, all conflicts no longer exist... Of course, it is temporary.
Just as this group of people was celebrating or being interviewed wildly, a group of people had already put a billboard to announce the championship in the center. Against the background of the European Champions League logo, there were big red letters:
2004-2005 European Champions League champion - Manchester United!
Because the weather is not good and the rain is still falling, the award ceremony is not held in the middle of the stadium, but on the rostrum. The red carpet has been paved from the bottom of the steps to the top. This is the road to the championship and the road to glory.
The second Liverpool team will be the second one to receive the prize. Each of them will win a silver medal. I believe these people will be very unhappy when receiving the prize. No one wants to win a silver medal after reaching the finals.
Liverpool players went on stage to accept the award ceremony with gloomy faces, and they didn't want to say anything more, and there was no smile on their faces. Most people took the silver medal from their necks and held it in their hands after they came down. Everyone looked at the silver trophy unwillingly when they came on stage to receive the award, which was so close and so far away from them...
The last person to go on stage to receive the silver medal was Liverpool's head coach Benitez. His face turned pale. He did not let Johnson, who was in charge of award presentation, hang the medal on his neck, but took it directly into his hands.
Then he stepped down, unlike others, he didn't take a look at the championship trophy in the whole process.
The rostrum is in the middle of the stands, on the right is the area where Manchester United fans gather, on the left is the Liverpool fans' array. The right is very lively, and on the left is dead silent.
...
Keane is at the end of the team, and he is still responsible for winning the championship trophy later, with Ferguson ahead of him.
When Ferguson walked up the steps, the Manchester United fans in the stands on the right extended their hands to welcome him, as if they were the spears of the guard of honor. They shouted Ferguson's name and praised him for another championship trophy he won for the team. Some people simply burst into tears and couldn't talk to themselves. In this stands, the cold of the rainy night had long been dispelled by the hot red.
Ferguson stepped onto the rostrum step by step amid the cheers of the fans and took over the gold medal in the championship from John Son. His expression was not as happy as he was when he walked up.
"Congratulations, Sir Ferguson." Johnson stretched out his hand.
"Thank you." Ferguson shook his hands and left. He didn't like the UEFA officials, even Johnson, who worked hard and made great contributions to UEFA.
Johnson was a little disappointed with his reaction, and he wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words...
Keane had already stood in front of him, Johnson retracted his mind, first hung the gold medal around Keane's neck, and then placed his hand on the championship trophy.
The critical moment has come.
When Keane took the trophy from Johnson, the cheers of the fans at the scene reached a peak, but he did not take advantage of the situation to lift it up. He handed the trophy to Ferguson who was right next to him.
"You take that side."
