This is the first time in the century-old history of Chelsea that they have reached the UEFA Champions League final. Even though they have won the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup before, they have always been proud of this. For example, Cobham
The slogan "We have conquered Europe three times" is solemnly hung on the lintel of the base's training ground. But everyone knows that this is just a self-comfort for the weak.
The Cup Winners' Cup is the third level below the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. It's like the Olympic champion is also the world's number one, but there is a world of difference between him and the World Cup champion.
However, this time is different after all. This year is 2006. In the 102 years since the team was founded, it is the first time that it is so close to the real top of Europe. When the game is over and the players leave the field, there are still many fans lingering at Stamford Bridge and not wanting to leave.
, they were either chatting intensely with their friends next to them, or they were sitting in the gradually sparse stands and looking at the quiet stadium, recalling today's fierce game, and the figures of their favorite players wandering in their minds.
This scene is so mellow, and the process of climbing to the top is always more wonderful. They have sacrificed as much as Chelsea in this year's schedule. Barcelona, which has double first place and the best player in the world, once stood in front of Chelsea like a big mountain.
It is so majestic and insurmountable. And the factors off the court have made people almost lose hope. Even if they have a capable boss, a charming head coach, and an incredible Far East foreign aid.
But now, they really did it, Chelsea really did it, Forever Blue, they really did it. As for the opponent in the final, the team from East London? They lost!
Wang Ai was chatting eagerly with his teammates in the locker room. He did not attend the post-match press conference today. The coach didn't take him with him, and he didn't want to go. He knew that if he went today, the topic would definitely revolve around him. This pair of
Terry is not friendly. Although Terry is very captain-like in this regard, Wang Ai is not easy to surpass. Wang Ai, who does not go to bars, does not have a close relationship with his teammates.
Today's post-game press conference was very long. It's been almost an hour and I haven't come back yet. Wang Ai got a little bored after taking a shower and changing clothes, so he opened the door of the locker room and left the noise of his teammates behind. For creating a new
Of course, Wang Ai was also excited about the historical record. This new record was not deliberately pursued by Wang Ai, but after it was created, Wang Ai, who was standing in the player tunnel at this time, felt like a world away. He understood that he was once again standing
At the top of Chinese football, countless Chinese fans cannot sleep peacefully in this Chinese morning, thinking about themselves and chanting their names over and over again. In bars, in dormitories, in food stalls, in offices and factories tomorrow morning,
In classrooms and conference rooms, my name will be repeated countless times, along with tomorrow morning's newspapers and news reports.
Although he has never won the Chinese Footballer of the Year, Wang Ai has been elected as the Asian Footballer of the Year three times. The 18-year-old Wang Ai stood at the entrance of the player tunnel and looked at the gradually quiet stands outside, but his heart was still up and down. After the game just ended, he should
He had an impromptu interview with Liu Jianhong at the side of the stadium, accepted the congratulations he sent on behalf of the Chinese fans, and also expressed his gratitude to the domestic fans for their hard work watching the game at midnight. Of course, he also said: "I hope my performance today can be worthy of everyone's praise."
Thank you for your hard work. I hope everyone will remember my performance today. If I don’t perform well in the future, scold me gently.”
Although he knows that the fans' love comes and goes quickly, the feeling of being supported and loved is still intoxicating and fascinating. At this moment, Wang Ai can really understand why those retired superstars burst into tears.
, after tasting this kind of taste, it really takes a lot of determination to say goodbye to it forever.
At this time, Wang Ai was surrounded by happiness and "surrounded" by countless Chinese fans thousands of miles away. Wang Ai knew that he should be more calm, but he really couldn't. Wang Ai knew better that this kind of
Excitement is actually a good sign, showing that you are still a fan, and you are still not bound by a superior status. Only by being on the same pulse with the fans at all times can you understand your responsibilities, enjoy the joy of football better, and always be
Use a cautious and grateful heart to cherish what you get. Only in this way can you remain unfazed by favors and disgrace and maintain an attitude of forging ahead forever.
Unable to calm down, Wang Ai lowered his head and pushed open the gate of the players' tunnel, strolling back into the stadium. Only by stepping onto the lawn and reminiscing could he have a better recollection and regain his composure.
Unexpectedly, although an hour had passed, there were still dozens of fans in the stands. They were just a small group of fans, bringing a lot of beer, drinks and popcorn, as if they were a group of friends having a lively conversation. They didn't show up at first.
They noticed Wang Ai because Wang Ai had already put on his coat and changed out of his sneakers. It wasn't until one of them accidentally looked up and let out a scream that they noticed Wang Ai's "return".
At this time, the security guards had evacuated, and there were only a few lights left in the stadium. Although the stadium was still bright, the lights were no longer dazzling. Wang Ai was also awakened by the exclamation, so he put one hand in his pocket and the other
After waving, the surprised guys cheered, ran down the stands together, climbed over the billboard, and came to Wang Ai's side.
There were old and young people among the people, and they drank more or less. They were a little afraid to talk around Wang Ai at first. After all, Wang Ai never went to bars, and they rarely could contact him in private, until someone asked: You
Why haven't you gone back yet? People started talking.
"Ah, the press conference hasn't ended yet. I was bored so I went out for a walk. Why didn't you leave?"
"We are also, oh, no, oh, we are. We met friends and talked happily so we didn't leave. Well, can you win the final? Can you still score? Can you really surpass the historical record?"
After being incoherent for a while, he quickly returned to normal and asked the question they were most concerned about.
"It's hard to say. Any accident can happen on the football field, right? It's not like we still have the FA Cup. They have played one less game than us, and they only have one championship to compete for, so the final must be difficult."
Wang Ai explained with a smile: "Of course, compared to AC Milan, Arsenal is our more 'favorite' opponent. There are difficulties, but we have a greater chance of winning."
While Wang Ai was chatting, Drogba came out of the players' tunnel. The press conference was over and it was time for everyone to leave. After hurriedly signing autographs for dozens of surprised fans, Wang Ai simply asked them to leave together from the players' tunnel.
Then, a bigger surprise came. Their favorites Jose, Terry, Lampard, Crespo, Duff... walked out of the locker room one by one and walked to the middle of their queue.
