Chapter 0198: We Are the Champions!

However, Rashford didn't immediately add a penalty as his team-mates and fans were celebrating the win.

On such a joyous occasion, celebrating with everyone is the most important thing to do. As for the extra points, you can do it anytime when you get home. Including the hidden attributes that he had just opened and the mysterious gift package he obtained, Rashford didn't check it, planning to wait until he got home in the evening to see it.

After some celebrations, the United players returned to the dressing room, while the staff at the Theatre of Dreams began to set up the stage for the awards to be presented later.

When everyone returned to the locker room, they found that there was already a pile of champagne in it, and everyone was happy, especially a lively guy like Lingard, who picked up the champagne and opened it and sprayed it at his teammates.

As for Rashford, he was the focus of everyone's care, and in a blink of an eye, he was sprayed into a soup chicken, and his whole body was soaked.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the team can lift this league championship trophy today, which is really inseparable from the magical performance of this little brother.

Although it has only been three years and 23 days since Manchester United last won the league title and three years and two days since the last time they lifted the league trophy, the vast majority of the current Manchester United team has never tasted the Premier League title.

In the past three years, the personnel of this team has changed too much, the original champion team members, and now there are only Rooney, Carrick, De Gea, Smalling, Ashley Young, Valencia, Phil Jones, Powell, Januzaj and Johnstone 10 people, of which only Rooney, Smalling and De Gea are still the regular main players of Manchester United this season, and the rest are just regular rotation players or substitutes, especially Powell, Januzaj and Johnstone, He has barely played this season and missed the medal that will be awarded today.

According to Premier League officials, players who make more than five league appearances in a single season are eligible for a Premier League medal. Powell, Januzaj and Johnstone have not met that number of league appearances for United this season, so they do not meet the official Premier League requirements.

………………

While the United players were having fun in the dressing room, the stage was set up in the Theatre of Dreams for the championship awards.

Then, Manchester United's two decorated captains, Eric Cantona and Roy Keane, entered the stadium with the Premier League trophy and the Theatre of Dreams celebrations officially began.

These two men were specially invited by the club to attend Manchester United's award ceremony today. Because these two legendary captains can be said to have witnessed the rise and glory of the Red Devil dynasty.

Twenty-four years ago, it was the old man who poached Cantona from rivals Leeds to form the Manchester United dynasty. It can be said that the former King of the Red Devils, like the old man, is the founder of the Manchester United dynasty.

Roy Keane was the captain of Manchester United in the turn of the century years, and it was under his leadership that United went to glory.

The two meritorious captains entered hand in hand with trophies, and this scene was of great significance.

However, the only regret is that the Premier League trophy brought into the Theatre of Dreams by the two captains is actually a replica. Because Leicester City had a higher chance of winning the trophy than Manchester United before this game began, the real trophy was brought to Stamford Bridge.

Even the president of the Premier League went to Stamford Bridge to present the award to the first dark horse champion in the history of the Premier League.

However, things always come as a surprise, and it was Manchester United who won the title. However, at this time, it was too late to send the real trophy to Old Trafford.

………………

Manchester United's assistant coaching team was the first to appear, followed by the old Dutch man Louis van Gaal on the pitch with a smile on his face, and he was joined by assistant coaches Ryan Giggs and Hojk.

After Louis van Gaal, the United players walked onto the pitch cheering shoulder to shoulder. Van Gaal was presented with a championship medal and congratulated him.

Immediately afterwards, representatives of Premier League sponsors presented medals to each Manchester United player, and they did not forget to hug Van Gaal.

** When it finally came, Manchester United's two captains, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick, received the trophy, but instead they lifted it in the first place, it was handed to Louis van Gaal.

The moment Van Gaal lifted the Premier League trophy, streamers erupted and the Theatre of Dreams was once again immersed in joy.

The 21st championship in the top league in team history, the 14th championship in the Premier League, we are the champions!

Afterwards, each player lifted the trophy and the fans cheered rhythmically.

The 2015-16 season was the happiest moment of the 2015-16 season with Manchester United players posing for photos posing with the trophy and the players spraying champagne with excitement.

Van Gaal, who is already 65 years old, is also like a naughty boy who has not grown up at this time, singing and jumping with the players, and does not seem to be old.

He was really excited at this moment, in his coaching career, he had won the Eredivisie, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and even the UEFA Cup and the Champions League, but it was the first time he had won the Premier League.

Especially this time it was not easy to win the championship, and in the middle of the season, he even came to the verge of leaving the class for a while.

In fact, if it weren't for the emergence of Marcus Rashford in the Europa League quarter-finals and led Manchester United to a hearty Jedi counterattack, I am afraid he would have been sacked by Manchester United management after that game.

In the following time, he was still in danger of leaving class at any time, so for a long time afterward, he was in a state of trembling, as if walking on thin ice on the edge of the abyss.

Fortunately, the team's competitiveness, especially Rashford's competitiveness, led Manchester United to continuous victories, which has allowed him to this day.

Now that I think about it, this moment is so unreal. In other words, the nightmare of three months ago was so real that he was still drenched in a cold sweat every midnight when he dreamed back.

At the end of the ceremony, all Manchester United players circled the stadium with trophies in hand to greet the 75,878 Theatre of Dreams supporters.

Vice-captain Carrick, who plans to retire at the end of the season, was particularly emotional, bowing to the fans with his hands raised and kissing his championship medal affectionately.

On 21 March last year, the then 34-year-old signed a one-year contract extension with Manchester United, which expires at the end of the season.

Carrick has no intention of renewing his contract with Manchester United, believing that at the age of 35, it is time for him to say goodbye to his career.
