When the referee blew the final whistle, the Manchester City players on the court cheered wildly.
All the players immediately moved towards captain Su Dong and hugged each other tightly.
At this moment, there are more than 40,000 Manchester City fans in the entire Etihad Stadium, as well as fans who have been waiting for more than 90 minutes outside the stadium, and even countless Manchester City fans in the entire city of Manchester.
Send out your own cheers and shouts.
"Win the championship!!!"
"We won the championship!!!"
"We finally won the championship!!!!"
The on-site commentator shouted until the end, his voice was choked with tears, and he burst into tears directly in front of the microphone.
Everyone who works at Manchester City is a die-hard fan of this team.
At this historic moment, all of them were more excited than the players on the court.
The players hugged each other. Su Dong hugged his teammates one by one, sometimes patting their faces and saying to them, "You did a great job!", sometimes he would directly pick up his teammates by the waist and say, "You
You can do it, kid!" Sometimes, he punched his teammate in the chest and hugged him hard, "Brother, we won!"
The Manchester City players on the pitch gathered together, enjoying this unforgettable moment that will be recorded in the club's history.
…
Stoke City's players took the initiative to congratulate Manchester City in a graceful manner, and then quietly left the field, leaving the pitch to the home team's players.
But soon, Manchester City players also discovered that it was difficult for them to be the protagonists of this stadium anymore.
Whether it was the Manchester City fans in the stands or all the fans squatting outside the stadium, at the end of the game, they desperately wanted to rush into the stadium to celebrate. Many fans sitting at the bottom of the stands even climbed over the guardrails of the stands directly.
Rushed into the stadium.
Some of them held the club's scarves high; some ran wildly along the way, shouting; some were in small groups, raising huge flags...
When more and more fans poured into the stadium, the scene became very chaotic, and the fans became the protagonists.
The fans will not hurt the players, on the contrary, they will take the initiative to run over and celebrate with the players.
In the chaotic scene, people can easily find a unique landscape.
A bald old man wore a Manchester City sky-blue jersey. There was no jersey number printed on the back of the jersey. Instead, he wrote a sentence in black pen, "From 1968 to 2011, I have always been here!"
The old man seemed out of place with everything around him. Instead of celebrating with the others, he walked alone to the middle of the stadium, knelt down directly on the grass, buried his head deeply into the turf of the stadium, and cried bitterly.
An old man in his sixties or seventies, crying like this, quickly infected everyone around him.
He buried his head in the grass and exposed his back, letting everyone see his persistence.
"We don't know his name, but we can feel his deep love for this team."
"From 1968 to 2011, Manchester City went through ups and downs several times. At the most tragic time, we even fell into the third tier of England. It was a bleak time with no hope at all.
"
"But we know that even during that period of time, there were still countless fans like this old man whose names we don't know, who have been silently waiting for Manchester City and loving Manchester City."
"According to Premier League statistics, in the past two seasons, as the team's performance has improved, more and more fans like Manchester City, especially this season, the team's performance has been outstanding, coupled with superstars like Su Dong
Even in Manchester, Manchester City fans will not lose to their mortal enemy Manchester United."
"More and more fans like Manchester City, which is a good thing. We also welcome more new fans to come, but we also sincerely hope that everyone will not forget this group of old fans who stick to it silently, because it is their persistence that
, helped the team survive the most difficult and darkest years."
Live television cameras swept over the Etihad Stadium and captured everything inside the stadium.
Many Manchester City fans were wiping away tears and were infected by the emotions of this ancient fan.
Although Manchester City has a long history, it does not have many championships and its history is not glorious. If purely based on performance, Manchester City's history can only be ranked in the lower reaches of the Premier League. It cannot be compared with many low-level teams, such as Nottingham Forest.
Not even as good as Huddersfield, probably only comparable to Derby County.
It can be said that the history of Manchester City is a history of poverty and nothingness.
The two championships are separated by nearly half a century. What a long time it is!
Real fans love football and the team. They don't care about the time, the rise or fall of the club, the history of the team, or whether the team can win the championship.
What they love is football, the team and the players.
And those who like to stand on high places, criticize other teams with contempt and disdain, are often upstarts, mercenaries, and are useless if they don't win the championship. Do they like football?
No, what they like is the sense of superiority that comes from liking a certain team.
These people can like this team today, and tomorrow they can like another, better team.
To them, it's just a change of name.
But this ancient old man never left the team even in the most difficult and darkest years. He did not switch to another wealthy team in the same city that was stronger and had a more glorious history. This shows his love for Manchester City.
!
This is a valuable asset for any team.
…
Su Dong led the players away from the fans and came to the old man's side.
He knelt down gently and helped up the bald old English man. He was very ordinary and slightly fat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Su Dong helped him up, he said with a smile: "Don't cry, today is a good day for us to win the championship. We should be happy and laugh!"
The old man was a little flattered and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you should laugh! You should be happy!"
He smiled, but tears kept falling.
"In a few days, we will go to the FA Cup final and the Europa League final. You must go and cheer for us!" Su Dong invited.
The old man was full of surprises and kept nodding, "Okay, I must go, I must go!"
In the crowd, a reporter from an unknown newspaper suddenly shouted, "Let's take a group photo!"
The players from Sudong and Manchester City thought it was OK, and immediately gathered around and behind the old man, allowing reporters to take a picture.
Many fans rushed up to the scene. After seeing the old man take a picture, they were unhappy and asked for another one.
More and more fans gathered around, crowding the Manchester City players and old fans in the middle, and each made some strange gestures and movements for the media reporters at the scene to take pictures.
"One, two, three, eggplant!"
…
Guardiola stood excitedly on the sidelines.
Manchester City fans kept coming up to shake his hand and thank him for bringing a championship to the team.
This made Guardiola feel as if he was in a dream.
This is his second season as an independent coach, and he has won a Premier League championship?
You know, last season, he was still questioned. Many media and even many Manchester City fans felt that he was not a qualified head coach. But now, he has won the Premier League championship!
Guardiola couldn't believe it, but at the same time he felt a sense of pride and pride in his heart.
He believes more and more firmly in his football philosophy, and he also believes more and more that his football philosophy can be successful, and can even be more successful than it is now.
Guardiola looked at the interaction between players and fans on the court, and he was really filled with joy.
As a head coach, his greatest sense of accomplishment does not come from championships, but from leading his players to success, satisfying the fans, and being loved by the fans, just like what he is seeing at this moment.
Su Dong quietly left the celebrating stadium and walked to the home team's coaching bench.
He first shook hands and hugged Torrent, Estiarte and others before walking to Guardiola.
"Congratulations, Pep." Su Dong smiled and hugged Guardiola.
Guardiola hugged Su Dong forcefully and said, "Thank you, Su!"
He means it.
Without Sudong, Manchester City would not have achieved such success this season. Guardiola and his team would probably still be as questioned as they were last season. In the end, Guardiola would probably be dismissed and become the ridicule of everyone.
and sarcastic loser.
Su Dong's joining is the key to Manchester City's championship this season!
"Don't say that, Pep, we have just begun, there are still FA Cup finals and Europa League finals to come..."
Su Dong didn't finish his words, but smiled tacitly at Guardiola.
Guardiola understands that Su Dong wants more than just the Premier League title.
Many people say that Su Dong and Manchester City are like Maradona and Napoli back then. They are really similar, but if Su Dong only helps Manchester City win the Premier League championship, it will not be enough.
Followers can never surpass their predecessors. If they want to surpass, they must break through!
Maradona led Napoli to win the Serie A championship, and Sudong led Manchester City to win the Premier League championship. Isn't that enough?
Then two more, the FA Cup champion and the Champions League champion, is that enough?
Even Guardiola has no doubt that Su Dong's ambition is to lead Manchester City to win the Champions League.
This is what Guardiola is happy to see and pursues.
Of all the head coaches, who doesn’t want to win the Champions League and achieve great success?
On this point, Sudong and Guardiola, as well as most of Manchester City's players, have the same position.
"Don't worry, the coaching staff and I will be fully prepared. Your task is to lead the locker room and win the game for us!" Guardiola is very confident.
After winning the Premier League championship, he is obviously more confident.
"Don't worry, my teammates and I are well prepared, and our morale is now strong!" Su Dong was also full of confidence.
After finishing speaking, Su Dong took the initiative to reach out and held Guardiola's hand tightly.
But soon, the miserable Guardiola found himself being lifted up by the rushing players.
No matter how he asked Su Dong for help, Su Dong would just stand outside the crowd with a smile and act like a freeloader.
