Chapter 1023: Awards

Wayne Rooney's goal basically shattered Stoke City's dream of winning the title.

Stoke City's players didn't give up on attacking efforts, they were fighting for glory.

At the beginning of the game, they put down the iron bucket formation to defend to the death, cowardly before the battle, and they lost face, and now they have to pick up the lost face, even if they can't win the championship, they must leave a reputation that is still glorious despite defeat.

However, the underdogs are not capable of controlling their own destiny, and Stoke City hope to keep a reputation for defeat, but how can Manchester United, who have been suffocated by them for 100 minutes, let them do so. It's easy for Stoke City to crawl out of the turtle's shell, and of course they have to chase and fight hard, and get out of such a bad breath.

In the 23rd minute of extra time, Manchester United made a steal at the back, Scholes made a long pass, Gao Xiaodong and Giggs cooperated in the front of the penalty area, Giggs sent a through ball to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong entered the penalty area and returned to Berbatov, Beba pushed with his right foot on the penalty line, Sorensen struggled to save but could not touch it, and the ball flew into the net against the post.

3:0

Berbatov extended the score again.

After the goal, Berbatov was very happy, he ignored Gao Xiaodong, who gave him an assist, and ran to the stands with his arms raised.

The stands turned into a sea of joy again, with United fans cheering for Berbatov and venting their excitement.

After Dimitar Berbatov's third goal, the hearts of the United players were no longer on the pitch, and they were anxiously waiting for the game to be over and lift the FA Cup trophy after a seven-year absence.

Seeing that Manchester United slowed down their attack, Stoke City thought they could take advantage of the opportunity to pull a goal back, so they continued to attack Manchester United's penalty area.

However, Stoke City's idea was still wrong, and even the absent-minded Manchester United was not something Stoke City could resist.

Stoke City stormed around United's box for almost three minutes, but were unable to create a good shot under United's tight defence.

In the 20th minute of extra time, Manchester United had another chance to counterattack, Giggs curled the ball from the right to the far end, Rooney won the ball on the left and crossed with his right foot, and the unmarked Berbatov shot with an upside-down golden hook in the penalty area, the ball hit the post of the goal, and missed a good chance to score.

The ball popped up and didn't bounce far, and fell in front of Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot, but when he saw the opponent blocking, Gao Xiaodong shook a shot and flicked the ball horizontally, just passing it to Giggs.

The veteran Ryan Giggs smiled at goalkeeper Sorensen, who had blocked the near corner, and curled a ball into the far corner of the net with the arch of his foot.

Stoke City goalkeeper Sorensen had blocked the near corner and could not do anything about the far corner, but out of responsibility, Sorensen still moved as fast as he could and made a save.

Sorensen was already fast, but unfortunately Giggs's curling ball was too tricky and Sorensen couldn't touch the ball despite all his might.

4:0

Ryan Giggs added the icing on the cake in stoppage time.

Ryan Giggs is retiring soon, and he was thrilled to be able to score in an FA Cup final at this time.

Running to Gao Xiaodong, Giggs gave Gao Xiaodong a hug, "Thank you", Giggs was very moved.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "This is your good position, I can't help but pass it on." ”

Giggs was delighted, "Well done. Being able to see me and pass the ball at that time is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "Don't praise me, I'm easy to be proud." ”

While the two were laughing, the Manchester United players also ran over and surrounded Giggs and Gao Xiaodong.

The game has lost any suspense and meaning at this point, although Stoke City wants to get back one and save a little face, but Manchester United not only did not give them a chance, but instead intensified their efforts to do this again.

After Giggs' goal, 30 minutes of extra time had passed, and the referee did not give Stoke City another chance to attack, and he blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Champions! We are champions! We are the great Red Devils!"

The scene was boiling over as the United fans stood up and clapped and chanted across the pitch to celebrate the first trophy of the season.

The players took off their jerseys, waved them in their hands, and celebrated with the fans in the stands.

Ferguson, coaches and substitutes also walked to the pitch to celebrate, and Ferguson was warmly welcomed by the players, who lifted Ferguson up and threw him into the air under the hints of Gao Xiaodong and Rooney.

The fans in the stands also joined in, chanting Ferguson's name.

Two of United's young owners and club manager David Gill also came to the stands, joining the celebratory crowd and clapping and chanting the names of the stars just like regular fans.

The opposite of Manchester United is Stoke City.

Although the strength is far from Manchester United, the Stoke City people are not without thinking about winning, they have caused a lot of problems for Manchester United in the first 100 minutes, if it is not for Gao Xiaodong to break the deadlock, maybe Stoke City can really do a miracle like Birmingham.

The Stoke City players sat on the pitch in frustration, and the Stoke City fans were leaving, they were unwilling, but they were helpless, and their skills were inferior, so they could only accept this result.

The on-site narrator comforted: " There are no losers in today's game, although Stoke City conceded 4 goals, but they can leave the stadium with their heads held high, they have created great trouble for Manchester United, so that many Manchester United fans once thought that Manchester United might fail, and that is enough, no one does not fail, failure is not nothing, Stoke City has at least gained confidence and praise, this will be a great spiritual wealth in the history of their club, I believe that as long as they continue to work so hard, they will definitely get their own championship trophy. ”

“…… The great Manchester United still won! They are real winners in life! They have been able to compete for three titles this season, and the first title has finally been won without danger, which is a good start for them, and I hope Manchester United will win the next three games and win the treble again!"

Amid the frenzied celebrations of the players' fans, the podium had been set up and the United players, led by the staff, stood on either side of the podium, waiting for runners-up Stoke City to come and receive the award.

After Stoke City's players received their silver medals, Manchester United players and coaches took to the podium to receive the award from Prince William.

After the gold medal was awarded, Prince William and the FA president took the trophy together and handed it to the captain of the pitch today, Nemanja Vidic.

Vidic raised the trophy high in the air surrounded by the players, and at the same time the salute was fired, the song "We Are the Champions" rang out, and the golden confetti flew all over the sky, and the whole stadium seemed to be shrouded in a holy rainbow.

Later, the players also lifted the trophy one after another to celebrate the joy of winning the championship with the fans.

Originally, the club was preparing for a march around the city, but with two other trophies to be contested, Ferguson did not want to celebrate with much fanfare and interfere with the rest of the players.

The United players readily agreed, and everyone was celebrating enthusiastically, and some brought beer and champagne from the dressing room, drenching their team-mates and coaches alike, including manager Alex Ferguson.
