Mr. Jinbos briefly accepted an interview with the reporters on site and gave polite and simple answers to a series of curious questions. The staff of the German Football Association came over to remind him that the time was almost up. Xu Genbao said goodbye to the reporters in a personable manner.
In the locker room, everyone laughed loudly, ate and took turns taking showers. Xu Genbao came in and asked everyone to put on their coats. It was quite cold at night in Germany in May, so don’t catch a cold. As a champion team, you have the obligation to line up on the court first.
Welcome the runner-up.
The Tübingen players, wearing the distinctive colors of the Tübingen team flag, namely bright red, dark yellow and light black jackets, lined up in two rows. They were quite unfamiliar and a bit reserved. No one in the team had ever experienced such a scene.
, Fortunately, although Favre has never experienced it, he has always seen it a lot. He organized everyone to talk, laugh, applaud, high-five and shake hands with the Schalke 04 players who came over with a solemn face. The old guys were smiling, but...
Schalke 04's stars still can't get angry with them.
A group of senior officials from the German Football Association smiled and awarded medals to the runner-up on the podium. Many team members took the silver medals off their necks as they walked past the podium. In fact, Wang Ai didn't understand. The runner-up is also an honor, and the champion will be divided into three or seven finals.
As for the bonus, this year's Schalke 04 will receive 2.2 million euros even if they don't win the championship. Besides, the silver medal is also very beautiful. It's amazing that so many teams can finish second in the German Cup.
At least Wang Ai felt that even if the Tubingen youth won the runner-up in this game, Wang Ai would not be willing to throw away the silver medal.
He shook his head and ignored the extreme thought of "anything but first place is shit". As he walked to the podium, he touched Luo Tongliang, who had been giggling, with his shoulder.
"Lao Luo, how are you doing with your shooting?"
"Huh?" Luo Tongliang blinked, thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I think it's normal, how about you help me take a look?"
Wang Ai shook his head and pointed at Bai Guanghai at the front of the team who was shaking hands and chatting with senior officials of the German Football Association: "You should practice quickly. Today is Lao Bai. Next time there is such a major competition, I will try to let you participate. Otherwise I will feel sorry for your parents."
commission.”
Luo Tongliang nodded with a heavy face. The look of old Luo Tou from Shenyang's family waving his fists cast a heavy shadow in his heart.
Wang Ai, who was wearing the medal, walked to the side and caressed the golden plaque curiously. Maybe it was influenced by Ai Xiaoqing. Wang Ai also likes shiny things. Sugar paintings and gold medals are all shiny.
In front of the tall and powerful German Cup championship trophy, Favre took a deep breath and looked around, expecting his teammates. The 39-year-old veteran grabbed the trophy, turned around, and faced the crowds of people in front of the podium.
The camera is raised high.
In an instant, golden ribbons were blown into the sky. This was the first time that an amateur team stood on the highest podium. This group was either unknown and old, or they came from the fringes of the football world from all over the world.
To be able to come this far, to be able to come here, is a miracle performed in front of everyone! The Berlin fans, who have been looking forward to this moment, gave them a wave of applause. They have been looking forward to this scene for sixty years
After many years, there was finally a small, amateur team that defeated many strong opponents and staged a football fairy tale.
Leonie, Xu Genbao, and Favre stayed behind to deal with the enthusiastic on-site reporters. The teammates held the trophy and walked around the sidelines of the game. After thanking the Berlin fans again, they left the noisy stadium through the underground passage.
Overnight, the Tübingen youth rushed back to Tübingen holding the championship trophy. Even though it was already late at night, the town was brightly lit. It was difficult to see how many citizens were waiting outside the town to greet the team's bus. Only countless car lights could be seen.
Flashing, Tübingen, a city with a population of 80,000, came out. The city government had to deploy a small number of police officers to maintain order. The crowd did not disperse until the team bus drove into the club. Because the next day was the championship.
procession.
This Sunday, Tübingen was boiling. Like last year, Tübingen youth won the double crown again, but this year’s double crown was more valuable and stronger. The citizens of Tübingen had never seen this with their own eyes.
It has been a towering gold cup for more than sixty years, not to mention that from now on, the name "Tübingen - Jugend" will be engraved on the holder of this trophy!
Two major fan organizations, "Tübingen Forward" and "Our Tübingen", paraded around the small town with temporarily modified floats. No matter where they went, citizens threw flowers at the floats from the streets and upstairs, while others nearby
Citizens in cities and villages, that is, within half an hour of Tübingen's football circle, were also cheering with the crowd. Fans from as far away as Stuttgart even drove here. At ten o'clock in the morning, the float arrived in front of the city hall, and the whole team was standing in front of the city hall.
Walking through the dense crowd, the mayor delivered a passionate speech.
Since the Tübingen Youth Club suddenly emerged, it has brought many job opportunities and tourists to the city of Tübingen. As the results of the Tübingen youth are getting better and better, the club has more and more supporters in the city hall.
In the evening, Xu Genbao held a grand team party to celebrate, inviting the Kugels and his wife, club members, and the entire team, including their families and friends. The old guys in the team are basically married, and the young guys are still not there.
Yuan. Among the celebrating crowd were Yang Chen, who was preparing to return to China with Wang Ai, and Liu Jianhong, who came here specially. Although CCTV did not broadcast the live broadcast, it still paid close attention to the results of this game. The amateur team won the German Cup for the first time.
Chinese coaches and Chinese players won the German Cup for the first time. Even as the World Cup is about to begin, it is enough to cause a sensation in Chinese football.
Just as the whole city of Tübingen entered into a moment of ecstatic celebration, the German media finally commented on the match. "Bild" named the match after "The Miracle of Tübingen" and did not hesitate to say "great".
Such brilliant words as "historic". And "Süddeutsche Zeitung" finally looked squarely at this small team from Baden. At the same time, Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport" and Spain's "Gazzetta dello Sport"
Marca, Britain's The Times, France's L'Equipe, etc. all conducted special reports to make this sensational game known to the public as soon as possible.
In the writings of these media, the Tübingen youth was portrayed as a dragon-slaying hero, defeating the powerful knight as a "civilian" and seizing the most beautiful jewelry. The media also commented on the comments of the fans at the scene and their own phenomenon.
Nicknames were given to young people in Tübingen. Bai Guanghai was nicknamed "Black Bomber" by everyone, the elegant Mr. Kimbers was called "Oriental Magician", Allison was called "Iron Arrow", "Lightning"
" etc., Boateng is called "Barbarian", "Kangaroo", etc., Favre is called "Old Lion King", Wang Ai's nicknames are relatively uniform, and Wang Ai, who is about to graduate from a Ph.D. after being dug out by the media, is uniformly honored.
As a "Doctor"! Even in the European football world, there are very few players with a doctorate degree, and there are none in active service. Like Chinese football, many professional players who have entered the late stages of their careers will receive certain care when they go to college.
The value of academic qualifications is very limited.
Amidst the endless attention, the youth of Tübingen finally had a hint of the style of a big club. After an unexpected German Cup final and a victory over the powerful Schalke 04, the club and its players truly entered the football world.
