On the other side, the Manchester United fans completely disappeared.
Many Manchester United fans clutched scarves with their hands and looked at the stadium with tears in their eyes, which were already starting to turn red.
They all know in their hearts that Manchester United has failed.
Defeated at the feet of Lazio, who reached the Champions League final for the first time.
Compared with the excited Lazio fans opposite, their side was as quiet as a morgue.
The shadow of failure hangs over everyone's heads.
Ferguson leaned on the chair on the coaching bench and straightened his legs. This was a posture that made him feel comfortable and relaxed, but it was not a knowledge of fighting. When he was fighting, did you
Maybe you can see this posture in him, he never looks lazy in the coach's chair.
But now, it doesn't matter anymore, the team is helpless.
Although the game is not over yet, it stands to reason that he should not give up. But words of encouragement to the players are one thing, reality is another.
The reality is that Manchester United is already dead and cannot be dead any more.
Regardless of whether he is willing to accept it or not, this is the result and cannot be changed.
Ferguson has been coaching Manchester United for more than 20 years and has experienced countless successes and failures. He has long learned how to face failure calmly.

"Congratulations to Chang Sheng! He has become the third head coach in European football to lead two different teams to become Champions League champions!" the commentator of China Central Television said excitedly. "This is the pride of Chinese football! It is the pride of all of us in China.
The pride of football people! Although he is only a head coach, not a player, I think his success is no less than the success of the players on the court!"
Before leading Lazio to win the championship, there were many coaches in European football who won two Champions League titles. For example, Real Madrid alone had three such coaches. During the five consecutive championship era, Villalonga and Cani
Golia and later Munoz also led the team to win two Champions League titles. However, there was a gap of five seasons.
In addition, Benfica's coach Gutman also led Benfica to win the Champions League consecutively.
In the International era, Inter Milan became the first team in Italian football to defend the Champions League, and the head coach at the time was Herrera.
Rocco also did it in AC Milan.
Other coaches who have won two Champions League titles with the same team include Ajax's Kovac, Bayern Munich's Kramer, and Liverpool's Paisley. Among them, Paisley is also the head coach who has won three Champions League titles, the most.
The head coaches. Nottingham Forest head coach Clough, AC Milan’s Sacchi and now Ancelotti.
But the only head coach who can change teams and still prove his success is Feng Feo Ling Jiao.
Before the constant victory, only two people had done it in the more than 50-year history of the Champions League.
The first is Happel. He has done it with Feyenoord and Hamburg.
The second one is Hitzfield, who has achieved great success in the Champions League with both Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
In fact, the third place should have been Mourinho, but now it has become a consistent winner.
Being able to lead two different teams to win the championship fully demonstrates the ability of the head coach. Because changing to a new team is equivalent to a new adventure.
Everything you accumulated in that team is gone, and you have to start over when you go to a new team.
This is why there are many head coaches who have won the Champions League, but there are only three head coaches who can still win the Champions League after changing teams.
As a Chinese, Chang Sheng has become one of the top three head coaches. No wonder the Chinese commentator is so excited and speaks in a disgusting manner.
The Chinese players are not good. The Chinese coaches are good, which is somewhat of a consolation...
※※※
Commentators from other countries also agreed with the Chinese commentator.
"Being able to lead a heavily indebted team to win the Champions League, Chang has fully proven his ability. He is the best head coach in European football right now, no one!"
"Think about it, the maximum salary of this team is only two million euros! With such a tiny salary, they have achieved results that many teams with tens of millions of euros cannot achieve! In Italy, the salary standard is lower than that of Lazio
The only one left is Udinese, whose maximum salary standard is 500,000..."
"The success of some head coaches will be attributed to the role of money. For example, their club president will always bring him superstars. For example, he has an annual salary of tens of millions to attract the players he likes. So when they win the championship.
There will always be disdainful voices saying that he just knows how to spend money. But Chang Sheng’s success is indisputable! He did the most with the least money!"
Everyone is praising Chang Sheng, because in this championship team, he is the one who deserves the most praise. Neither Falcao nor Benzema can cover up his brilliance.
He is the cornerstone of Lazio's victory. With him, there will be victory. Without him, Lazio is just a bunch of rabble!
The TV broadcast also gave Chang Sheng a long close-up shot. In the close-up shot, Chang Sheng looked a little embarrassed. The rain soaked his original straight suit and kept dripping water. His hair was also beaten tightly by the rain.
It sticks close to the forehead, and the whole person feels like being fished out of the water...
A Spanish commentator joked: "This image is not glorious, champion coach."
This is a joke, but in fact everyone knows that Chang Sheng is so fucking radiant at this time!
※※※
Although he was soaked in the pouring rain, Chang Sheng still did not go back. He stood in the rain until the end of the game.
Some people may think that he is fighting side by side with his team, just making a statement. But in fact, Chang Winning is enjoying the feeling of being drenched by the heavy rain.
The wind had gone, and there was only heavy rain falling vertically.
Chang Sheng felt that this hearty feeling was like the reward he received after fate bowed to him.
That's the comfort that comes from the heart.
So in the heavy rain, Chang Sheng raised his head and raised his arms, just like the poster for The Shawshank Redemption.
So cool!
This scene was captured by the photographers and became the front-page photo of many media outlets the next day.
"Chang Sheng seems to be embracing the whole world..." some media commented.

The game is finally over.
After three minutes of injury time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Ferguson stood up from his seat and walked towards Chang Sheng, who was probably even wet with his underwear.
He stretched out his hand and shook it with Chang Sheng.
"Congratulations, Chang."
Chang Sheng expressed his gratitude to him and also praised Manchester United's outstanding performance.
Then Ferguson turned back to his players.
The same goes for Chang Sheng.
Entering the court, he hugged every player and thanked them for everything they had done for this championship.
Some players still couldn't believe it. They kept asking Chang Sheng: "Boss, are we the European champions?"
Chang Sheng would slap them on the back: "Go ahead! We are the European champions!"
Later he came in front of Jose Passarella.
"What were you thinking when you took that penalty kick, Jose?" Chang Sheng asked him.
Jose Passarella shook his head: "I was thinking that the wind was so strong. If I wanted to ensure that the football would not be slowed down by the wind, I had to kick it close to the ground, and then I kicked it close to the ground."
"You haven't thought about stepping out of the shadows or anything?"
Jose Passarella shook his head: "I didn't think so. If you think about that kind of thing at this time, wouldn't it make things worse the more you think about it?"
Chang Sheng smiled, very happily.
Nine years ago, when they met in the Getafe C team, who could have thought that they would have such a day? Chang Sheng is a famous coach who has won two Champions League titles, while Josepin Passarella has won the Champions League final.
Scored key goals and won the championship.
At that time, the two people were both down and out in life.
Chang Sheng faces the threat of unemployment, and Getafe is his last resort.
And what about Passarella?
He was already planning to give up professional football.
At this time, the two people met.
"If you weren't a professional player, what would you be doing now, Jose?" Chang Sheng asked Passarella.
"My mother hopes that I will become a physical education teacher. My father hopes that I can inherit his job and be a plumber..."
Chang Sheng looked at Passarella. Then he shook his head and said, "You can't be a plumber. Jose, you're not strong enough. What do you want to do?"
"I want to be a taxi driver. What about you, boss, if you don't become a coach, what will you do?"
Chang Sheng recalled the scene before his rebirth.
"I...I might be an ordinary worker in China. Or a clerk...we won't know each other at all."
"What a wonderful fate."
"Yeah, it's amazing..."
Chang Sheng looked up at the sky and saw that the rain was much lighter than during the game.
Destiny is not arranged by God, but earned by yourself.
If you don't do anything, you may end up thinking like that in your previous life.
But now that he has the opportunity to rewrite his destiny, he will naturally not let his trip go in vain.
If anyone wants to stop me, knock him down!
Even if the enemy is God, there will be no preferential treatment!

The podium was set up as Lazio players celebrated wildly.
Lazio players went on stage to receive their awards one by one.
After everyone receives the gold medal, they will take a look at the Champions League trophy next to them.
After working hard for a season, it was just for this, and now they are finally about to touch it. Everyone is very excited. It's like they are finally holding the goddess they have been chasing for many years into their arms.
Chang Sheng went up to receive the award before Jose Passarella.
He received the gold medal from UEFA President Michel Platini.
Platini looked at him and shook his head: "You are so young that people are jealous, Chang. Many coaches at your age were just echelon coaches, but you have become a head coach who has won the Champions League twice. You
How many more surprises can you give us?"
Chang Sheng smiled: "If my team doesn't let me stop, I won't stop."
Then he stepped aside and Jose Passarella, Lazio's captain for this game, walked up.
Before Platini was handed the ball to him, he patted her arm and said: "That penalty kick was wonderful, you did a good job. After missing the key penalty kick, you still dare to stand in front of the key penalty kick."
There are not many players, but you are amazing."
Jose Passarella expressed his gratitude.
Platini then handed him the trophy.
Jose Passarella looked at the trophy in his hand, and the smooth surface of the cup reflected his somewhat deformed face.
The cold touch is very real.
Nine years ago, I thought my career future was bleak, but now I am standing at the top of Europe...
It’s like a dream!
But if this is a dream, then let yourself never wake up!
Jose Passarella holds the trophy high.
Blue and white confetti sprayed out from behind the podium, and Queen's "We Are the Champions" played over the stadium.
Lazio fans shouted loudly in the stands: "Yes! We are champions!!"
Chang Sheng watched this scene among the cheering crowd.
This is the value and reason for his efforts to become a famous coach.
Enjoy the victory and enjoy the cheers.
Without these, how boring this world's number one sport would be!
