Chapter 265: We Are the Champions! We are the kings of England! (Part 2)
Liverpudlians are still celebrating excitedly.
Founded in 1892, Liverpool FC has won a total of 18 league titles before the Premier League was restructured, and is a well-deserved NO1 in the English First Division, but since May 27, 1992, the English League One team announced its separation from the FA Nations League system, and the Premier League was officially established and the league was promoted to the Premier League.
(The last League One winner of the 1991/1992 season was Leeds United, nicknamed the White Rose...... )
The last time Liverpool won the top flight of English football was in the 1989/1990 season of League One, and Liverpool have not won the English top flight title for 25 years!
So, this Premier League title in 2014/2015 is not only the first Premier League title in Liverpool's history, but also the club's second top-flight in 25 years!
While Liverpool's players were celebrating their title in a frenzy, Jose Mourinho had turned away from the pitch.
Today, he's a loser, he's a proud man, and he doesn't want to stay here as a loser, and he doesn't want to give those media a chance to turn the camera on him.
Originally, Mourinho was going to shake hands with Klopp and congratulate the opponent, although he was reluctant, but he didn't want to be said that he had no grace, but he glanced at it, Klopp was still celebrating with his players in the field, Mourinho immediately turned around and left, this is that the other party has no time to deal with him, not that he has no grace.
While the Liverpool players were frantically celebrating the title, a simple podium was being set up.
Because this is Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's turf, it is unlikely that Liverpool will enjoy such a grand award ceremony.
Before the game, considering that Liverpool only need to win this game to win the championship in advance, the English FA has brought the Premier League trophy - the Barclays Cup to Stamford Bridge in advance.
If Liverpool beat Chelsea to win the trophy after the game, the FA would have awarded the trophy to Liverpool two rounds earlier.
If Liverpool lose to Chelsea or the two teams draw and the league title is still in suspense, the trophy will be brought back to the FA headquarters in London.
In the past, there have been cases where both teams could win the championship in the final round of the league, in that case, the FA arranged for the staff to prepare two championship trophies, one is the real one and the other is a replica, which will be brought to the two stadiums respectively, and whoever wins the championship will be awarded to whomever will be awarded to whomever who wins the championship.
However, because as long as Liverpool wins today, it is a well-deserved champion, so there is no difference between the real thing and the replica, and what is brought to the Stamford Bridge stadium today is the real Barclays Cup.
……
The podium is being set up.
The sad Chelsea fans are already leaving, so they won't be staying here to 'witness' Liverpool's first Premier League title.
They now need to have a drink and use alcohol to relieve the painful emotions.
So, at this moment, there are only Liverpool fans left in the stands at Stamford Bridge, they are not very numerous, less than 3,000, but at this moment, there is a huge momentum, they are waiting for that great moment to come.
Liverpool are prepared to win the title early on the road.
The coaches are calling the players back to the dressing room, where they are going to change the champion's jersey that they have prepared for a long time, and then they are back on the pitch in good spirits to collect the trophy and the gold medal.
This shirt is specially prepared for this championship, and the shirt is very similar to the shirt of the 1989/1990 League One championship, which is a tribute to the team's last English top flight title, and it is also a sign of the team's continuation of the team's glory and the start of a new championship journey.
There are no stars on the jerseys, there are no stars on the jerseys of Premier League teams, only the emblems of the Bundesliga and Serie A teams have the symbol of a star, and this star represents how many championships they have won and won ten championships before they are eligible to embroider a star on their jerseys.
……
Stamford Bridge is a modern stadium, but the visiting dressing room is very basic, with no other than the necessary chairs and changing wardrobes, and it is crowded, in fact, the visiting dressing room at every stadium is the same, and the visiting dressing room at Anfield is no better, which is a 'courtesy' for the visitors.
The players simply took a shower.
"There's still hot water." Lallana shouted exaggeratedly.
'Chelsea can afford to lose.' Glenn Johnson said.
That's right, although the loss and the loss of the title made Chelsea very disappointed, but the basic demeanor is still there.
After everyone took a shower, they changed into the championship jersey specially prepared for this championship, and then returned to the stadium in good spirits.
At this point, the podium needed for the medal ceremony is ready.
It's a very simple award ceremony.
In front of the podium was a sign that read:
2014/2015 English Premier League Champion!
Winning the championship away from home, even the award is so simple.
However, Jiang Chenxi and his teammates will not care about this.
The Liverpool players were notified by the staff that they were ready to take the stage to receive their awards.
……
The Premier League's championship trophy is called the Barclays Cup, which is known as the most beautiful and exquisite trophy of the five major leagues, the trophy is intricately cast by the British Royal Jeweller Espree, the brand was born more than 200 years ago, and in 1862 received the Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria.
The Premier League championship trophy cast by Espree weighs 25 kilograms, is 43 centimeters high and 25 centimeters deep, the main body is alloy silver, the surface is electroplated sterling silver, the base is made of malachite, the surface is inlaid with a silver ring, engraved with the list of the champion teams, the green of the malachite represents the lawn of the stadium, the trophy design concept comes from the English football tradition' The 'Three Lions Crest', which has a golden crown on it, two lions on top of the handle of the trophy, the name of the Premier League sponsor on the ribbon on the handle, and the image of the third lion on the trophy is not the image of the third lion, this is because the third lion is the captain of the champion team who holds the trophy high!
So far, only the 2004 Premier League trophy is special, as Arsenal won the trophy in an unbeaten season that year, and in recognition of the Gunners' achievements, the FA created an all-gold version of the trophy for Arsenal, the only one of its kind so far.
……
FA President Clarke personally presented the award to Liverpool.
The players took the stage one by one to receive the gold medal, which symbolized the championship.
Clark put the gold medal on Jiang Chenxi's neck.
"Congratulations, Jiang, it's been an extraordinary season!" Clark said.
"Thank you, Mr. President."
Subsequently, Liverpool's coaching staff also took the stage in turn, and Clarke also took Klopp's hand to greet him.
Finally, the last player of Liverpool took the stage, and it was their captain Steven Gerrard!
The Liverpool fans in the stands shouted his name in unison
Gerrard!
Gerrard!
Gerrard!
Liverpool's players were also clapping and saluting their captain.
It was a humble award ceremony, but for this man, it was so important, so extraordinary.
On September 29, 1998, Liverpool vs Blackburn, the eighteen-year-old appeared in a red shirt.
The young face is still slightly nervous.
Seventeen years have passed, and the young man has wrinkles on his face, and on his arm is the captain's armband, which has been worn for many years.
This is the first time he has lifted the league trophy!
"Congratulations, Steven." Clark and Gerald hug, "Now, she's yours!" ”
Gerald took a deep breath, his nose sore and tear stains in the corners of his eyes.
When captain Steven Gerrard received the Premier League trophy from FA president Clarke, everyone took a deep breath and they were waiting.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
All were silently reciting in their hearts.
Then, Gerrard lifted the silver trophy high, and the Liverpool captain was the third lion of the famous trophy at this time!
Everyone erupted in huge cheers
We are the champions!
We are the kings of England!
There were no streamers, no fireworks, and it was shabby at Stamford Bridge.
However, at this very moment, in Liverpool in the distance, fireworks were in the sky, cheers rang out, whistles sounded, and countless people took to the streets.
It was night, and Liverpool had no sleep.
