Countless Southampton fans were cheering, while Porto fans were frustrated, not only because they lost the final, but also because their dream of winning the Champions League again came to nothing...
Although winning the Europa League does not mean they can win the Champions League, it does not prevent them from thinking back to those years.
The Porto players were also very helpless. They fought hard to the end, but still failed to win the game.
Southampton's players began to celebrate wildly. It was only then that they began to realize that they had really created an unprecedented miracle this season!
The second-level team wins the European Championship!
Although it is only the Europa League - it is only possible for a second-tier team to win the Europa League, unless a few years later, the Europa League champion can participate in the Champions League, and then a lower-level team wins the Europa League first and then the Champions League.
…
That would be too exaggerated.
In any case, Southampton's record cannot be said to be achieved by any team in the future, but at least for now, it is unprecedented.
Commentators from all walks of life were exaggerating the greatness of this championship, and this final indeed attracted enough attention to make UEFA officials smile from ear to ear.
The Champions League has now become a cash cow for UEFA, but the influence of the Europa League has never been very good. UEFA has made a lot of adjustments for this, but the effect is still not very good.
This season's Europa League has brought a lot of attraction.
From this perspective, Southampton deserves the most credit!
And their schedule was convincing enough. They encountered basically strong teams along the way. UEFA really didn't give them any preferential treatment. However, they relied on their own strength to reach the finals and finally won the championship!
Such a legendary performance is enough to attract more attention to the Europa League.
Previously, UEFA increased the number of matches in the Europa League group stage and increased the prize money for the knockout stage. Isn't that just for this?
So when the awards were presented, they all faced Ji Ya with such enthusiasm that it gave Ji Ya the illusion that he was very popular...
Amid the cheers of the entire Southampton fans, Noriya and the team members raised the Europa League trophy high - this is actually Southampton's third truly valuable trophy - the first
It's the FA Cup, the second is the League Cup, the third is the Europa League...
Of course, the Europa League has a higher gold content.
As for other English League One championships, English Championship titles, English Championship titles and English League One play-off titles, these are not remarkable achievements.
No matter from any angle, Southampton's performance this season is extremely complete and successful.
They won the English Championship, gained tickets to the Premier League next season, and also won the Europa League. As the defending champions of the Europa League, they can continue to participate in European competitions next season.
Although they failed to go far in the League Cup and FA Cup, at this time, no one cares about this.
When the Southampton players returned to Southampton, they received a grand welcome.
Almost everyone in Southampton came out to greet them, including the mayor and all members of the city council, to welcome them and welcome Southampton's first European competition champion in history!
"When I was playing football, most of the time I just wanted to help the team avoid relegation, so every time I heard a fan call me the God of the Saints, I felt very ashamed. But now, I feel that this nickname has found its way.
We found the person who is truly suitable for him, and that is the owner of our club and our head coach, Ji Ya!"
On the bus, Letissier took the microphone and shouted loudly, and then amidst everyone's cheers, he raised Jiya's hands high!
This is actually not Le Tissier trying to suck up to his boss.
Although he works at Southampton Club, he is just a casual employee. He is responsible for communication in the locker room. He played a big role in the beginning, but now Ji Ya is getting more and more respect from the players, so he is the assistant coach.
A bit idle.
However, Ji Ya has already made an agreement with him. Next, he will be the image ambassador of Southampton and be responsible for promotion in Europe. Le Tissier is not only famous in England, but also has a great reputation in the whole of Europe.
Here is a signboard.
As for having great skills and shaking the master, Ji Ya is really not afraid of this. His current voice is not much worse than that of Le Tissier.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Ji Ya took the microphone. He first modestly said that Le Tissier will always be a monument to Southampton, and then said that this season's good results are just the beginning.
Next season in the Premier League, Southampton will continue to make great achievements!
"I joined the Southampton Club not to make money, but to make Southampton stronger and stronger! Yes, I personally don't have much money, but as long as the Southampton Club is managed well, it can
We have huge wealth. One thing I can tell you is that in this past season, although we spent a lot of money on the transfer market, the club still made a profit, and the profit figure was not small! This money will
Put it all in the club and continue to operate. In addition to extending the players' contracts and increasing their salaries, we will also invest heavily in the transfer market to enhance the strength of the team!"
Ji Ya spoke loudly, and his words immediately aroused huge cheers from the fans - what do the fans want to hear? Don't they just want to hear this...
To be honest, as long as Premier League clubs are run properly, making money is not a big problem, but modern clubs need to have money. If they have money, they can buy good players and they can bring good results.
The entire club belongs to Ji Ya. If Ji Ya wants to make money on his own and maintain it every year, no one can stop him.
And Ji Ya's words made all the fans breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they believe that Ji Ya will not take over Southampton in the trough for money, but at this time, they can really feel relieved!
After all, Southampton is a small city. You can't see someone without looking up. If Ji Ya really goes back on his promise, unless he plans not to live in Southampton...
"Okay, let's start celebrating now. I can guarantee that by next season, Southampton will be a stronger Southampton!" Ji Ya finally said in his loudest voice.
His words were met with huge cheers again.
Southampton's 2010-2011 season has come to an end. They have created countless miracles this season, and such miracles will continue.
Southampton has truly stepped onto the stage that belongs to them when they step onto the Premier League stage.
