Chapter 461: Eevee retires
The Olympic Stadium in Kyiv belongs to Real Madrid at the moment. 18,000 Real Madrid fans celebrated wildly. This is in stark contrast to the silence of 40,000 United fans.
In the United dressing room, there was also a terrible silence.
All the players sat in their seats and remained silent. For 5 minutes, not a single person said a word.
Mourinho, as the manager, finally stood up.
"I know your mood has hit a low point right now. I would like to say that as a professional footballer, you should know that on the football pitch, wins and defeats are normal things. We ask ourselves, how have Manchester United been doing this season? Treble, plus a Champions League runner-up. Compared to the slump of previous seasons, Manchester United has come out of that slump! At least, the Treble plus the Champions League runners-up result, the fans will accept it, and I can accept it myself! β
Liu Yun stared at Mourinho. Unlike other players' frustrations, he now has mixed feelings in his heart. Happily, Isabella gave birth to a daughter, and he became a father again. IT SEEMS THAT HER DAUGHTER CAN GET ALL A A in A-LEVEL EXAMS, AND SHE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO HER IDEAL UNIVERSITY.
If life is a game, Liu Yun is now a two-win out of 3 games.
Liu Yun, who is the captain, stood up: "What the leader said is right! We've done our best! At least the whole game has been at a disadvantage, dragging Real Madrid into a penalty shootout. Failure isn't terrible, it's a big deal to start all over again! I don't know what the club's hierarchy wants from next year's results. In my own opinion, next year, our goal is still to win the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup! β
Assistant coach Bart suddenly entered the locker room, and he said to Liu Yun: "Liu, I think you should go to the stadium for a while. β
Liu Yun was confused. Bart emphasized again: "Liu, you should go to the court now." β
Liu Yun walked out of the locker room and walked to the court. In the players' tunnel, he met Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos, who were spraying champagne.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't seem to care about Liu Yun's rainbow pass to him in second-half stoppage time.
Ronaldo stretched out his hand to Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant, you performed very well in this game." Don't be upset. With 13 Champions League games and 26 goals, you've set a new Champions League single-season scoring record. β
The old Champions League single-season goal record was 17 goals set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 13-14 season. Liu Yun directly refreshed this record by 8 goals. Luo actually admires the 47-year-old veteran in front of him very much in his heart.
Liu Yun politely shook Ronaldo's hand: "Thank you, Ronaldo." β
Liu Yun walked out of the player's tunnel. The moment he walked out of the player's tunnel, Liu Yun was stunned.
More than 20,000 Chinese fans in the audience sang "Start Again" hoarsely!
"If the heart is in a dream, there is true love between heaven and earth. Look at success or failure, life is heroic, it's just starting from scratch~~"
The song of "Start Again" resounded at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv!
Those Real Madrid fans who don't understand Chinese are strange. The winner is Real Madrid, why are these Chinese people in red shirts so excited?
How do these Spaniards know that the old lieutenant is not only a superstar on the football field in the eyes of the Chinese, but also synonymous with "dreams" and "hopes"!
A down-and-out middle-aged man returned to the pitch at the age of 45, and it took two years to go from the Chinese Amateur League, to the English Second Division, to the Premier League, and the Champions Leagueγγγγγ This season, the 46-year-old has scored 48 goals in 38 Premier League games and 26 goals in 13 Champions League games. Such a thing, I dare not say that there is no one to come, but it can be said that there is no one before!
A middle-aged man in his 40s can still bravely pursue his dreams and complete the counterattack of his life, what reason do those young people in their twenties and thirties have to complain about the unfairness of fate?
Liu Yun walked to the stands where the Chinese fans were and waved. For a while, "Liu Yun! Liu Yun! The shouts resounded in the sky!
γγγγγγγ
Post-match press conference.
Jose Mourinho said gracefully: "Congratulations to Real Madrid on their success in defending the Champions League. They deserve such honors. In this game, our players gave their best. β
Suddenly, Mourinho changed his words: "Just now our captain Liu, in the dressing room, said what he thinks Manchester United is aiming for next season. I think his goal is the same as my goal. β
A group of reporters cheered up. At the end of the season, it can be considered big news for a big team to announce their goals for the new season.
Mourinho said loudly: "Manchester United will continue to attack the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup next season!" Winning these four titles is Manchester United's goal for the new season! β
Zida sighed in his heart that his predecessor Mourinho was indeed domineering. Before the start of the season, he said he wanted to rebuild the Manchester United dynasty. Now, this goal has been basically achieved. At the very least, the domestic treble plus a Champions League runners-up is already Manchester United's best season result in the past 10 years. All Premier League teams have been overshadowed by Manchester United's results this season. With LIL, who is in hot form, Mu Shuai also has the confidence to say that he will compete for the quadruple crown next season!
At this moment, the Marca reporter suddenly asked: "Dear coach Mourinho, I am the reporter of the Marca newspaper." Just four minutes ago, Ibrahimovic tweeted a status update: 'I'm sorry Manchester United, I'm sorry, my team-mates. I am now officially announcing my retirement. 'Coach Jose Mourinho, did you know in advance that Ibrahimovic retired after the Champions League final? β
Mourinho was speechless for a while! His heart was amazed! Ibrahimovic? Retire?
Is LIL still called LIL without Eevee?
Mourinho was silent for a long time before answering a reporter's question: "I think Ibrahimovic lost control of his emotions because he missed a penalty. The words of retirement are just momentary words. I'll talk to him and give him a few days off to relax. β
The Marca newspaper reporter continued to ask unkindly: "We all know that if a player announces his retirement during the contract period, it is equivalent to automatically terminating the contract. If, I mean, Ibrahimovic is really determined to retire, who do you think will be able to take his place? Do you predict that without Ibrahimovic's old lieutenant and Romelu Lukaku, will he be able to continue his hot form this season? β
Mu Shuai glared at the reporter: "I said, his announcement of retirement on Twitter was just a momentary anger!" I'll talk to him! He's under a lot of psychological pressure right now, and I hope the media doesn't put too much unnecessary pressure on him, you know? β
