Chapter 524: Let's Let Him Continue to Fail!
"The big battle at the Olympic Stadium in Athens is over, and this season's Champions League winner is born, and they are Millwall from London, England! A new champion, a brand new Champions League winner! ”
"Millwall participated in the Champions League as the Premier League champions last season, and they are also the first time in the club's 100-year history to enter the Champions League competition.
"Millwall's championship is full of gold, beating Real Madrid in the round of 16, eliminating PSV Eindhoven in the quarterfinals, AC Milan in the semi-finals, and meeting Chelsea in the final, several opponents in a row, none of them are easy to deal with, but Millwall finally had the last laugh, they persevered from beginning to end!"
"Congratulations again to Millwall for becoming the new champions!"
"The UEFA Champions League also represents the highest level of European club competition, and the winner of the UEFA Champions League can also be called the 'European champion' and even the 'king of Europe'. This is a great honor! ”
'Millwall have won the Premier League and the English League Cup. Leagues, cups, and the all-important Champions League, we can say that Millwall have won the 'treble'! ”
"When it comes to Millwall's championship, perhaps we must also mention their head coach Zhang Yang, a Chinese coach who is only 24 years old, has already won the honor that many coaches dare not think about in their lives - the Champions League!"
"At the same time as Millwall's coronation, Zhang Yang also reached the pinnacle of his career as a manager, but this is still a little too early for him, because he is still too young!"
"It's a little weird......"
“……”
All the media and commentators are talking about it, some of them are talking about glory, some are going back to history, some are talking about players, some are talking about publicity, no matter what they say, they all revolve around one topic--
Millwall became Champions League winners!
In the midst of all kinds of talk, the Athens Olympics have long become a sea of carnival, and every Millwall supporter is venting, celebrating, and shouting in his own way, and everyone is very excited, as if they want to vent the excitement of a lifetime.
Millwall fans can't be more crazy!
Millwall's 100-year history is not glorious, they can't even find a glorious time, and two years ago they won the Championship and became a Premier League team, which was already the pinnacle of 100 years of history.
Millwall have been pushing the envelope to the top: league titles, FA Cup titles, League Cup titles, defending league titles.
Trophies after trophies have written new history for Millwall, who are immersed in excitement and joy every day, but no matter what, they can't imagine that the team will still win the Champions League.
That's the Champions League!
The Champions League is the top competition for European clubs, and it is no longer limited to the English league, but has entered Europe to participate in the championship competition. From the perspective of Millwall fans, the team's participation in the Champions League is something to brag about, and it is unthinkable to win the Champions League.
This moment is happening right in front of our eyes.
Millwall fans feel like they are in a dream, they have a dream that lasted for two years, in the dream of Millwall won everything, many fans are afraid to wake up, hoping to be immersed in a beautiful dream forever.
But it's not a dream, it's a reality!
The real feeling of the scene also made the mood of Millwall fans more excited and joyful, their celebration vented a little hysterical, and even many fans did not know what they were doing, just went along with the mood to vent.
In the center of the fan stand on the east side is the rostrum.
The rostrum is flanked by aisles that divide the stands, with Millwall fans on one side and Chelsea fans on the other, with VIP and media seating in the middle of the two aisles.
Standing on the rostrum at this time, I felt the deepest feeling of the atmosphere of the fans.
The Millwall fans on one side cheered wildly, and the Chelsea fans on the other side were silent, but the London teams played against each other, which is the benefit, and the fans on both sides must be repeated, some fans support Chelsea, and also support Millwall, Millwall and Chelsea, there is no historical enemy, except for some very extreme fans, most Chelsea fans, are also waiting to watch the next awards ceremony, rather than leaving early in frustration.
Although Chelsea lost the game, the league title went to Millwall, which is much better than the feeling of winning the title from other countries, or northern teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
There were many big names on the rostrum, such as the mayor of Athens, the president of the Athens Football Association, and the representatives of England, including Prince William of the British royal family, the vice president of the FA, and representatives of both sides of the game - Wilkinson and Abramovich.
Abramovich and Wilkinson, both representatives of their respective clubs, sit in the club representative seats.
The positions of the two are next to each other.
Roman Abramovich has relented and put a gentle smile on his face again, as if it was not Chelsea who lost the game, but Millwall.
It's amazing to be able to control your emotions like this.
Abramovich's 'anger' has passed, or rather, he has accepted the reality of defeat and made some big decisions in his mind, such as the club's managerial position, Mourinho is definitely leaving.
This Portuguese led the team with too poor results!
In three seasons, Chelsea have won just one league title, and the results are completely substandard, and since the rise of Millwall, Chelsea have been on the back foot.
This is something that Abramovich cannot tolerate.
He can accept temporary defeats, such as one, two, consecutive defeats will not work, and with Mourinho in charge, he has no hope of the team suppressing Millwall.
In that case, the best thing to do is to bring the Millwall manager to Chelsea.
If you can't hire a manager at Millwall, you have to change the coach to coach, otherwise Chelsea has been suppressed, it will be too disappointing, in short, for this season, Abramovich's only feeling is disappointment, even if the team reaches the Champions League final, as long as it does not win the title, it is tantamount to failure.
When the game was officially over, Abramovich half-pursed the corners of his lips and congratulated Wilkinson, "Congratulations! ”
"Thank you! We just had a little luckier. ”
Wilkinson was very happy, he could sense the disdain of the Russians for him, but he had learned to be patient from an early age, and it would not do him any good not to offend the big guys because of his feelings.
Abramovich is one of the big names.
Maybe Millwall will play a lot with Chelsea in the future, maybe he will be related to Abramovich, who can say what will happen in the future?
Wilkinson didn't care, he was enthusiastic.
That's from the heart!
Millwall won against Chelsea and won the UEFA Champions League!
Abramovich's attitude, what is it?
————
The celebration on the playing field has already begun.
All the players cheered together, they hugged each other excitedly, did all kinds of actions to vent, and the personnel on the bench also rushed into the field, Zhang Yang was also one of them, and he was also a rare person to maintain his demeanor and slowly walked into the court.
Many people rushed over and hugged Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang didn't like this way of celebrating, especially most of the people who hugged him were players covered in stinky sweat, and it didn't feel very good, maybe it would be better if he was replaced by a beautiful woman.
From this point of view, should you coach women's football in the future?
Ahem......
Zhang Yang felt that his thoughts had gone astray, he should be more excited, after all, he won the Champions League, he led the team to stand at the top of Europe, and won the most valuable and meaningful championship that European clubs can get.
When I thought about it, I finally found some excitement to win the championship.
When the celebration was over, Wise, Frederick and others began to arrange for the players to stand in a row and collectively thank the fans who came to support them.
Fans from all four sides of the audience are thankful.
This scene reminded Zhang Yang of the 'showman' on the street, begging for money with a lunch box after the performance.
Of course, this is not discrimination.
But it didn't really make much sense, with many of the fans supporting Chelsea, as well as a large number of local Athenian supporters, and a handful of pure Millwall fans.
So the process of thanking is actually equivalent to putting on a show.
After the 'group celebration' is over, the players are free to go on and off the pitch for interviews, and media reporters are allowed to come inside the pitch to do interviews.
Many players are welcome.
For example, Vardy, who scored goals, for example, Darren Bent, who has the aura of 'Champions League goalscorer' and will definitely be the best striker, and Morris, the captain of the team, but the number of reporters around them is not as large as the people in front of Zhang Yang, and when the reporters enter the stadium, more than half of them run towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was surrounded in the middle, and one question after another was raised, and it was impossible for him to answer it well, so he could only say as briefly as possible--
"Our players are doing well!"
"It's a pleasure to win the championship!"
"I'm excited."
"This is the winner of the Champions League!"
"It's not a surprise to win, we are well prepared and we haven't lost before......"
"Second-half substitutions? Because it was supposed to be replaced, the situation at that time was a bit passive. “
"Jamie is very trustworthy!"
“……”
Zhang Yang quickly answered several questions, and was annoyed by the media reporters, so he found a gap and shouted 'Dennis', and then hurried out of the encirclement under the pretext of 'something'.
Zhang Yang walked directly to the sidelines, ran to the players' tunnel, and told Wise, "Let's go back quickly, the award will be presented in a while." ”
Time is really running out.
After the Champions League final, it only takes about ten minutes to arrive at the award ceremony, even if it is delayed for a maximum of 20 minutes, this is the set time arrangement, and the people on the field will be ejected after a while, just wait for the two teams to stand in their seats and officially carry out the award ceremony.
Zhang Yang waited in the locker room for five minutes, and one by one the players returned.
The players who come back early still have time to take a shower and take a short rest, and those who come back late don't have time to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and go straight out and wait on the field.
During the whole process, the assembled players were a little bigger.
Zhang Yang feels a bit like taking care of a group of children, afraid of which guy will 'get lost' halfway, and when the medals are distributed, it will be very embarrassing for fewer people, of course, the medals can be received on behalf of them, but there are probably no players, and other teammates will help collect the medals.
Finally Millwall's whole team was assembled.
Chelsea have already gone up to claim the trophy as they are runners-up in the Champions League, and they are definitely not underdogs compared to other teams, they will receive a silver medal for the runners-up.
One by one, the players went up to receive the award, with Mourinho following behind.
Mourinho also has his own medals, but he doesn't have any smile on his face, because the whole world knows that he is the loser of today's game, silver medals and defeats can be equated, he doesn't think that the runner-up is an honor, as early as when he was in charge of Porto, he led the team to win the championship, in comparison, the runner-up is really nothing.
When the media and fans talk about the game, they will also say that "Chelsea lost the final", not "Chelsea won the Champions League runners-up".
After receiving the medal, Mourinho stepped off the stage, and halfway down the steps, he pulled the medal off his neck and put it in his trouser pocket.
At the bottom of the steps, Mourinho stopped, turned his head at the Chelsea team, beckoned them to hurry up, and then turned to look at Millwall's team.
Zhang Yang also turned his head to look over.
The two looked at each other.
Zhang Yang showed a slight smile on his face, and Mourinho nodded slightly, as if to say hello, and then he walked down the steps without hesitation, and disappeared far away with the Chelsea team.
Zhang Yang also sighed a little in his heart.
Jose Mourinho coached Porto and achieved quite brilliant results, a Portuguese giant, to the Champions League is nothing, but Porto won the Champions League, which was considered a miracle at the time, and Mourinho also became famous quickly.
Now Mourinho has failed.
Jose Mourinho's results in charge of Chelsea are not bad, even the current Chelsea are no worse than in previous lives.
In the previous life, without Millwall, Chelsea won two league titles, and after Millwall, Chelsea lost one league trophy and one League Cup, but they also reached the Champions League final, and in real comparison, it is not much worse.
However, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea management has not been successful because he has failed to produce results that would please Roman Abramovich.
So, he had no choice but to leave.
Zhang Yang is a little sympathetic to Mourinho, but professional football is like this, there are successes and failures, and only one side of the game can win, compared to Millwall's champions, Mourinho?
Let him continue to fail!
Zhang Yang put away his rare sympathy and climbed onto the podium with the players.
