In the stands at the Alvalad Stadium, some Sporting Lisbon fans left disappointed, but most of the home fans stayed for the runners-up ceremony. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The victory ceremony took place on the pitch, and while the Sporting Gijón players celebrated, a podium was quickly erected in the centre of the pitch.

The runner-up, Sporting Lisbon, went up first to receive the prize and the silver medal.

Sporting Lisbon fans still gave the players a round of applause, and the players also put in hard work and hard work to reach the final of the UEFA Cup.

Sporting Lisbon's head coach Poseiro had a gloomy expression on his face, and he could almost imagine that what awaited him was the fate of the class.

In the VIP box, the face of Sporting Lisbon President Dias was ugly, he invited the presidents of more than 30 clubs in Portuguese football to come to the Alvalad Stadium to watch, wanting to show off Sporting Lisbon's feat of winning the League Cup, but at this moment, it was too embarrassing to watch the Spanish team win the championship on their doorstep. In his heart, Pesero, the head coach of the team who had already harmed him and lost face, pronounced a death sentence.

In the honor box, Figo is also depressed, his Real Madrid was killed by Sporting Gijón in the league, Real Madrid is empty this season, and now, his favorite parent team Sporting Lisbon lost the League Cup final at home, and once again watched the Gijón people elated, showing off their power and walking on the podium to receive the medal, Figo's mood is very bad, plus he is feeling confused about his future at this moment, Real Madrid has planned to purge him, which makes the Portuguese superstar feel even worse.

***********

In the stands, Inter Milan owner Moratti and club president Facchetti looked at the players of Sporting Gijón who were happily receiving the gold medal, and they were also embarrassed and envious.

The most important award in the last decade is to win the League Cup, and at this moment, Sporting Gijón, a La Liga promoted polo team, has achieved the pride of Inter Milan. This made the two giants of Inter Milan embarrassed.

However, the eyes of the two did not stay on the players of Sporting Gijón, they swept over these people and finally fell on Leon.

The Chinese led the team to the UEFA Cup before he was 30 years old, if Facchetti remembered the history of the three major European cups. The Chinese coach has become the youngest champion coach in the history of the three major European cups.

"It's a great coach!" said Moratti, "just a little too young!"

"Being young isn't a bad thing in a sense. "Being young means being driven, Inter Milan need fresh air and iron will. He had studied Leon and knew that Leon was strict in his military management, which Fachetti also admired.

Moratti was only subconsciously emotionally just now, but he didn't expect to hear Fachetti defend Leon, which surprised him, which showed that Facchetti fully accepted Leon and was already quite respectful in his words.

Moratti couldn't help but feel proud of his decision to bring Fachetti to Lisbon for the UEFA Cup final, and nothing could be more convincing than a European trophy.

***********

Li Ang was the last of the Gijón Athletic team to take the stage to receive the gold medal.

UEFA President Johansson looked at the young Chinese coach with a smile on his face. Johansson likes geniuses, he has a good relationship with Beckenbauer, Pele and other football former talents, and now famous people, this Swedish fat man is now very interested in Leon, less than thirty years old, Chinese, coaching La Liga promoted horses, La Liga leads, Spanish Copa del Rey final, and now has won the UEFA Cup, Leon's Sporting Gijón has shocked the whole of Europe this season.

Compared with the Portuguese Super League giants Sporting Lisbon, Johansson seems to prefer Leon and Sporting Gijón, and the dark horse won the championship and set off a youth storm, which is a good topic, which is enough to make this year's League Cup final, and because the League Cup will be restructured into the Europa League from next year, which also makes the League Cup's swan song more memorable.

Johansson said before hanging the gold medal around Leon's neck: "I have been to China, a wonderful country, I didn't expect China to send a talented coach like you to Europe, you are really young and envious, Li, only thirty years old, many people are still players at this time, but you have led a team to create legends." Congratulations, Lee, you are now the youngest winner in the history of the UEFA Cup, congratulations!"

Johansson praised and admired Leon in his words, and after saying that, he lifted the gold medal.

Li Ang lowered his head slightly, and asked the other party to hang the heavy gold medal around his neck.

The two shook hands, "Mr. President, thank you for the compliment, this is the greatest encouragement to me!"

"I'll keep an eye on you, I have a gut feeling that your future is going to be great," Johansson said, and as UEFA president, his words of hope were anything but extraordinary.

"Come on, Lee, European football and world football need fresh blood like you. Johansson concluded.

"Thank you, Mr. President. Leon said with a graceful smile.

The exchange between Johansson and Leon attracted attention in the media seats and stands, and the two men exchanged for a significantly longer time.

"Johansson, it seems, admires the Chinese. The thought crossed everyone's minds.

In the VIP box, Moratti and Fachetti looked at each other and smiled, which was good news.

***********

In the end, Johansson lifted the UEFA Cup.

The 15-kilogram UEFA Cup, also known as the Bertoni Trophy, was designed and made by Milan's Bertoni Workshops in Milan with a 15-kilogram silver base and a yellow marble base, and the €23,000 trophy made its debut in the 1972 UEFA Cup final. The UEFA Cup has no handles, it is beautiful with simplicity and simplicity. Above its base is a group of players vying for the ball, which are the supports of this octagonal trophy adorned with the UEFA logo.

Some people think that the UEFA Cup has a domineering beauty, even better than the Hercules Cup of the World Cup.

"Congratulations, Fernando. Johansson smiled at Athletic Gijón captain Fernando Hierro and handed him the trophy.

Hierro took a deep breath, although he had won many championships with Real Madrid and won the more important European Champions Cup, but at this moment, the former Real Madrid captain was still a little excited, and he didn't expect that he would be able to win a European championship trophy in the twilight of his career!

When Hierro lifted the trophy, confetti and streamers in red and white, the main colour of Sporting Gijón, were sprayed on the roof of the Alvalad, and Queen's "We Are the Champions" was played on the live broadcast.

Only about 3,000 Sporting Gijón fans got tickets to the final, and at this point, these 3,000 fans became the happiest people, and the players chanted together, and they chanted in unison: "Now, we are the European champions!!"

The atmosphere of the scene finally reached the highest cháo.

***********

After Hierro lifted the trophy, the other players wanted to hug the trophy and kiss it, but captain Hierro and vice-president Albertini looked at each other, and the former Real Madrid captain and former AC Milan vice-president handed the trophy to their manager Leon.

"If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be all this, coach, you come and lift him. Hierro said to Leon earnestly, while Albertini and the other players nodded their heads. The captain is right, the coach is the most qualified to lift the championship trophy.

Li Ang laughed, without pretentiousness, let alone prevarication.

He took the UEFA Cup trophy from Hierro's hands and held it high again.

The players all shouted and cheered loudly with him, even more enthusiastic than when the captain lifted the championship trophy just now, and the atmosphere on the scene climbed to the top again.

"The youngest champion in the history of the UEFA Cup! Li Ang! Li Ang from China! won the UEFA Cup at the age of less than 30...... It's incredible! Starting from coaching Sporting Gijón's B team that is still in La Liga, to coaching this La Liga relegation team, miraculously leading Sporting Gijón back to La Liga, snatching the Copa del Rey championship from Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, and being able to qualify for this season's UEFA Cup, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this La Liga promoted polo team would be able to win the UEFA Cup to the end! However, the fact is that they are now the champions of the League Cup! They are the kings of Europe!

"Sporting Gijón is now the king of Europe! They lead La Liga, they reach the final of the Copa del Rey, and this promoted polo team can even achieve the treble! As incredible as it sounds, they are now the kings of Europe, and a championship trophy is in their hands! The players have given the trophy and glory to their manager, and they thank the coach for his work! It is not surprising that this is the team that Leon has built and he is the soul and king of this team!"

The commentators gave all the praise to Leon. At this time, the champion is everything, that is, capital!

People no longer talk about his youth, no longer criticize him for this and that!

Even Leon's youth and lack of qualifications have become something to boast about at this time, the youngest champion coach in the history of the three major European cups, which is enough to make Leon go down in the history of European football!

At this time, no matter how much these people praise Leon, it is not too much.

Even those who used to scold him are now shut up.

A fool would come out at this time to provoke a new European champion coach!

The winner enjoys flowers and applause, there is no doubt, this is the privilege of the winner!

No matter how unhappy Li Ang is in his heart, he can only smile and praise him at this time, unless Li Ang makes a mistake at some point in the future, otherwise, they can only continue to praise the champion coach for a period of time in the future.

***********

The celebration went on for a long time, the players were running around the pitch with trophies in their hands, they were so excited, going around the pitch for a week, two weeks, three weeks. They vied for kisses and hugging trophies. Taking a photo with this trophy is like touching your lover, which is extremely emotional and eager.

Back in the locker room, the players continued to celebrate wildly, with Leon being doused over the head by the players with champagne.

He even wore a soggy champagne-smelling suit to the post-match press conference.

After winning the championship, Leon was in a good mood and continued to behave, praising Sporting Lisbon and praising Portuguese football, anyway, the Portuguese, who was very sad after losing the championship, could not blame the away coach for anything.

This made the Spanish reporters who were familiar with Leon feel that the eggs hurt, and listening to the Portuguese praise Leon for his grace and politeness, they really had sore teeth and extremely painful eggs.

After the press conference, the entire Sporting Gijón squad returned to their hotel, where the club's president, Manuel Arango, praised the team and said that the prize money for winning the championship would be given as soon as possible.

Leon then announced that the whole team could party at the hotel, and if they came to Lisbon with their girlfriends, they could also go out to reunite with their girlfriends and his wife's family, as long as they returned to the hotel by tomorrow morning.

Having been poured some wine by his disciples, Leon stood on the balcony of his room, blowing the sea breeze from Lisbon, and felt a little sober.

When he is happy, he wants to share the joy with the person he loves the most, and he was about to call Alice, but the phone rang at this time.

And at this moment, Banderas pushed the door in, he had been thinking about what Leon had said, and he had been thinking about it in his heart without asking clearly.

***********

"Lee—" Banderas was about to ask, but saw Leon on on the phone. You can only keep your mouth shut for the time being.

"Hello, is it Mr. Li Ang?" The call was an unfamiliar number, but being able to call Li Ang's relatively private mobile phone explained everything.

"Yes, I'm Leon, who are you?" asked Leon.

"I'm Massimo Moratti. I don't know if I have the honor to invite Mr. Leon out for a drink. The other end of the phone reported to his home and said straight to the point.

Leon's expression was for a while, the sea breeze was blowing on his cheeks, he only hesitated for a few seconds, as if he had made a decision, and said with a smile, "I am honored to invite you." ”

Hanging up the phone, Leon was a little distracted.

"Lee. Banderas asked impatiently.

"Pablo, I know what you're going to say. Li Ang pondered the wording, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "Someone asked me to go out to meet, let's go together." ”

Banderas was choking in breath and kind of understood.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Mr. Massimo Moratti of Inter Milan. Leon said softly.
