They originally planned to transfer to an open-top bus in Amsterdam at two o'clock in the afternoon and start a float parade from Amsterdam.
All the way to the Town Hall Square in Alkmaar. But the short distance of a few hundred meters from the airport to the bus took them more than half an hour.

The age range of the fans can be said to be "cross-border": young mothers pushing strollers, middle-aged men with beer bellies, old people with gray hair and hoarse voices, children sitting on their father's shoulders... everyone is there.
Moving a little bit, standing on tiptoes from time to time, looking ahead, hoping to see the players soon. Many of them were holding beers, hot dogs, and hamburgers, drinking, eating and singing as they walked, as if they were about to enter the stadium and watch the daily games.
of league.
Some brave fans directly jumped on the roof of the police car that was maintaining order, or climbed up the traffic light. They refused to get off despite the police yelling, and even attracted cheers from the onlookers.
When Alkmaar's open-top bus appeared, the streets immediately became impassable. Fans waved flags and held up various slogans and cheered. Alkmaar players wore special uniforms.
Wearing a scarf, he showed the fans the results of this season-the Champions League championship, Dutch Cup championship and league championship trophies.
The open-top bus stopped and stopped, and it took three hours to arrive at the City Hall Square. At this time, Jiang Mu, who was so tired from signing autographs and taking photos for the fans, took the microphone and gave his victory speech to the fans: "This is

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he handed the microphone to captain Van Bommel, who said: "We are the best. No words can express this great victory. This is a perfect result for us this season. Real Madrid's performance in the game

After each player said his winning speech, the microphone was passed to the hands of the team owner Dirk. Dirk also boarded the open-top bus to celebrate the championship with the players. For such a great victory for the team, Dirk

Give up, this Alkmaar team is my dream team, no, it is greater than my dream team. Alkmaar has become the first triple crown team in Dutch history. Here, I want to thank Alkmaar.
Alkmaar players, fans, coaches, and everyone who works for Alkmaar, the miracle is created by you. Without you, there would be no joy today. Finally, I would like to thank one person in particular, that is our head coach Jiang Mu
, he is a real winner, a magical commander in the East. I believe this is our consensus, that is, without Jiang Mu, there would be no Triple Crown today."
The applause sounded like thunder again. I don’t know who took the lead. The fans chanted Jiang Mu’s name together. The shouting continued for a long time, which fully expressed the fans’ love and respect for Jiang Mu.
After the players and coaches gave their winning speeches, the celebration lasted for an hour in the square, and then began a parade around the city. As fans continued to join in, the final parade number exceeded 200,000 people, and the entire city of Alkmaar
All have become the world of Alkmaar fans.
AZ Alkmaar's victory celebration has become a major focus of the Dutch media. All major TV stations have been broadcasting footage of the celebration since the afternoon, and only a few words were mentioned about the European Cup that will be held in the Netherlands soon.
Just like Alkmaar winning the Eredivisie title, "The Telegraph" once again printed the words "championship" on its home page after the game. "The Telegraph" believes that judging from Alkmaar's performance in this game, the team should be praised.

"International Football" reporter Garcia wrote in the article: The original intention of the establishment of the Champions League was to bring enjoyment to the fans. Now, Alkmaar has done this. Alkmaar's road to the Stade de France is almost flawless.
; Luck will always bless a certain team, but apart from luck, Alkmaar still proved with its strength that it is a well-deserved champion. In fact, in this season's Champions League, no other team except Alkmaar is qualified.
Become the champion.
After defending the Eredivisie title and reaching the Champions League final, Dutch media once said that if AZ Alkmaar wins the Champions League title, it will catch up with Ajax, the "dream team" of the Louis van Gaal era. Therefore, when Suleiman made an own goal
After Robben's goals finally put Alkmaar on the championship podium, "Netherlands Football" published the title "Another Ajax". "Netherlands Football" stated that Alkmaar was defeated by Alkmaar in the last five magical minutes.
Alkmaar won the championship. The newspaper article mentioned that Real Madrid performed very well throughout the game and played wonderfully, but Alkmaar won the first Champions League title in history with a magical 5 minutes in the second half.
Spain's pro-Barcelona "Daily Sports" regretfully said: "Bosque's team was infinitely close to their dream of an eighth Champions League title, but in the end they were ruthlessly defeated by two goals in stoppage time by Alkmaar.
Shred, a total of 10 goals were scored in this game, and the score of 6:4 made everyone excited, because this was a duel between a veteran strong team and a dark horse, considering Alkmaar’s previous utilitarian attitude
, before the game, almost everyone did not expect that there would be so many beautiful goals and so many offensive opportunities. It is not an exaggeration to call this game the most classic game in ten years."
Spain's "Marca" is a pro-Real Madrid media. They were devastated by Real Madrid's failure to win the championship. "Real Madrid took the initiative most of the time and even took the lead in the second half, but in the end they still did not have the last laugh.
Bosque's composure did not stop Jiang Mu's passion. The two goals in stoppage time were enough to make Bosque regret his whole life. We cannot criticize Bosque. He took over Real Madrid's mess in the middle and was unexpected to reach the final. We cannot expect them to
More miracles were done, and the failure to win the championship was more due to luck than Del Bosque's incompetence."
France's "L'Equipe" praised the game, saying it was the most beautiful game with the most ups and downs in the past ten years. "A great game! Although there were no red cards or controversial penalties, the progress was still outstanding.
The ball and too many offensive opportunities have been rare in recent decades. In the 1959-1960 European Champions Cup final, Real Madrid defeated Frankfurt 7:3 and it was considered impossible to repeat it because modern football has become more and more utilitarian.
, paying more and more attention to defense, but Alkmaar has subverted this theory, tying the number of goals scored in the game in the 1959-60 season, and even more exciting."
Germany's "Bild" praised Jiang Mu for leading Alkmaar to create another dynasty similar to Ajax, "In two and a half seasons, this is the seventh time that 27-year-old Jiang Mu has won the championship trophy. This is what Jiang Mu can do."
The number of trophies he has won is unbelievable, but it is true. Many people are not optimistic about Alkmaar in this Champions League final. This was confirmed at the beginning of the game. After Alkmaar took the lead, Real Madrid
They had the upper hand and quickly equalized and reversed, but Jiang Mu's classic substitutions worked wonders. Under Jiang Mu's control, Real Madrid conceded the ball while they had the advantage, and lost the trophy they almost won. Real Madrid's
A failure in a game can also be called a failure as a head coach."
Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport cheered for Alkmaar's victory, praising them for preventing Real Madrid from dominating the Champions League. "The little Polo knocked over the big Mercedes, and the driver was a Chinese. Real Madrid fans will definitely have a sleepless night."
That night, they were confident of winning their eighth Champions League. Their dream of completing ten Champions Leagues in the 20th century will probably come to nothing. Alkmaar, you are so good, Jiang Mu, you are indeed a magical coach."
The British "Sun" praised Alkmaar for creating history and replicating the miracle of Manchester United. However, the "Sun" believed that Jiang Mu could not lead Alkmaar to create a dynasty like Ajax, because after the Bosman Act
, European football no longer has the same environment at that time. After this final, Alkmaar's stars will definitely be poached, and even Jiang Mu is not guaranteed to stay, so such a miracle is likely to be short-lived.
China is also in a state of excitement. Fans are celebrating even more wildly than China's national team has won the Hercules Cup. All major media outlets are taking turns to report on Alkmaar's victory. The headlines without exception are "Chinese hold up big ears."
