Chapter 157: The End of the Season

Liverpool won the 08/09 Champions League with a 4-3 win over Barcelona in extra time, which was the biggest and most sensational event in world football in recent days.

At the same time, Liu Ting's goal in the Champions League final also brought his Champions League goals to 8, but the Champions League Golden Boot was still taken away by Messi with 9 goals, Liu Ting won the Silver Boot, and Gerrard Bronze Boot.

With the end of the Champions League final, Liu Ting returned to the UK with the team the next day, Liverpool carried out a grand parade celebration, the parade bus around the city of Liverpool slowly swung around, the bus went everywhere was crowded, this day Liverpool City was only red, only belonged to Liverpool fans, Everton fans did not know which corner was compressed.

About 100,000 Liverpool fans participated in the victory parade during the day, but fortunately, Liverpool had plenty of police and there were no problems.

In the evening, Anfield held a big celebration and invited two of Britain's most famous singers to help out.

Liu Ting shouted from the erected stands: "I love Liverpool, I love Anfield!" The audience was boiling.

After the celebration, there was a little accident the next day, and Liverpool fans rushed to Manchester the next day to celebrate with banners that said, "You're only half as good as us!" This refers to Liverpool's six Champions League titles, while Manchester United have only three, half of Liverpool's total.

Such a celebration in Manchester almost led to a clash with Manchester United, but fortunately, the police got the news in advance and rushed over to stop the two sides.

In fact, this is the response of Liverpool fans to Manchester United fans, the final round of the league ended, Manchester United won the league championship, and some Manchester United fans rushed to Liverpool to celebrate that day, with a banner that read, "Finally pull Liverpool down!" ”。 Because after Manchester United won the league this season, they equaled Liverpool in the number of English top league titles, both sides reached 18 English top league titles, and Liverpool has never won the championship since the establishment of the Premier League.

At that time, it caused a little skirmish, but because Liverpool was about to participate in the Champions League final, the FA and Liverpool club did not want it to be a big trouble, and Manchester United was the first to provoke trouble by its own fans, and in the end this matter was turned into a small matter.

Liverpool is celebrating the championship, and major European media are also competing to release this year's Champions League final.

Italy's "Milan Sport" commented on the final: "Liverpool beat Barcelona in a difficult final for the first time in four years, they completed the three finals in five years and won two trophies, the last team that could do it was AC Milan, and the final that the two teams did not win was defeated by each other......"

The Italians have been immersed in the aura of the small World Cup that year, and no matter how you look at it, they are reminiscing about the glory of the past.

"France Football" reported with the title "A game without a loser": "Liverpool defeated Barcelona and blocked the opponent's treble goal, this final can be said to be the best Champions League final in recent years, Liverpool won the Champions League and avoided the four major vaples this season, but Barcelona also won the domestic double of Spain, and Barcelona did not lose." At the same time, in terms of individual honors of players, Barcelona will still bear the brunt of the awards at the end of this year, Messi won the Champions League Golden Boot, and has the domestic double crown, and he is still the best player this season; Liverpool's three core players, Gerrard missed the Champions League semi-finals and the second leg of the quarterfinals, five of his seven Champions League goals were scored in the group stage, which will make him suffer a lot in the awards, Torres missed too many games and only scored three goals in the Champions League in total, Liu Ting has good results but not enough qualifications, Barcelona is likely to be Liverpool in the award selection at the end of the year......"

Germany's "Kicker" said: "The just-concluded Champions League final can be said to be the most intense final, first Barcelona opened the scoring in the first half, Liverpool equalized at the end of the first half, Liverpool overtook at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona then equalized, and in extra time Barcelona scored the first goal, Liverpool scored two goals in the last five minutes to overtake, this is definitely one of the best watching finals in the history of the Champions League, coincidentally one of the best finales is recognized as the Istanbul miracle was also created by Liverpool, Maybe they're born to create good-looking games......"

The Kicker's claim has also received a lot of recognition, with Liverpool's 4-4 home draw with Arsenal in the domestic league also being flipped out.

In fact, that game was a game that Liverpool fans didn't want to mention, and it was that draw that made Liverpool lose the initiative to win the championship, and finally lost the championship by one point.

The final between Liverpool and Barcelona continues to ferment, and various histories have been reported by the media.

Liverpool defeated Barcelona 4:3 to become the final with the most goals scored by the two teams since the Champions League restructuring, the two teams scored a total of 7 goals, in fact, the second most goals scored in the final since the restructuring was also created by Liverpool and won by Liverpool, that is, Liverpool drew 3:3 with AC Milan and scored 6 goals in the final penalty win, in addition to Liverpool's two games, there has been no final with a total of 5 goals since the Champions League was restructured.

It is in the history of the Champions League, this is also the third most goals in the final, the top three finals with the most goals in the past were all created by Real Madrid in the early days, the first is the final in which Real Madrid defeated the German team Frankfurt 7:3 in the 59/60 season, the second is the final in which Real Madrid lost to Benfica 3:5 in the 61/62 season, and Liverpool is tied for third with 7 goals in the first Champions League final in the 55/56 season, Real Madrid defeated the French team Reims 4:3.

What Liu Ting said to Busquets in the final was also interpreted by the media after the game, 'You are still too young, you won't ask such a question when you play football for two more years', this sentence has also become a mantra for fans around the world for a while.

When Europe was still boiling, Liu Ting also ended his entire season.

This season, Liu Ting played 29 league games for Liverpool, scoring 15 goals and providing 15 assists, as well as 10 Champions League appearances, with eight goals and three assists, and one FA Cup appearance with two goals.

Liu Ting has made a total of 40 appearances this season, handing over 25 goals and 18 assists, averaging more than one goal per game.

In fact, Liu Ting also played two Ligue 1 games for Bordeaux before moving to Liverpool, one of which was a UEFA Super Cup, and Ligue 1 also had two goals and three goals in the Super Cup.

Overall, Liu Ting has a total of 30 goals and 18 assists in all competitions this season.

In the next few days, Liverpool distributed Champions League winnings to the players, and those who were ready to renew their contracts were also renewed.

Then everyone should go on vacation, go to play when there is a game, and the Spanish national team players are going to play in the Confederations Cup.

Liu Ting went back to Monaco first, and on the plane back to Monaco, Liu Ting was talking to his agent Schiller Wagner: "Is it really okay for me to join that national team?" ”

Wagner said: "You don't have to worry, the Monaco national team is nominally a national team, but in fact it is an amateur team with the name of the national team, which is not recognized by UEFA at all, and your joining the Monaco national team will not affect your ability to join other national teams in the future, and I have already told them in advance that it will not prevent you from joining other national teams in the future." ”

Liu Ting and Wagner are talking about the Prince of Monaco and the prince inviting Liu Ting to join the Monaco national team, after Liu Ting discussed with his agent, Wagner suggested that he could join, anyway, it is only an amateur team, and it will not affect him to join other official national teams in the future.

When Liu Ting came out of Monaco's small airport, there were many fans on the scene to support him, he became the first Monaco to win the Champions League, the first time to participate in the Champions League final, the first to score in the Champions League final, in short, he is creating a bunch of Monaco football history every year, he is now a well-deserved Monaco football celebrity, Monaco's football history is really good.

Liu Ting also met the Prince and Prince of Monaco again, and agreed to join the Monaco national team, and may play a few games together when they play some warm-up games when they are free in the future.

Then Liu Ting made an advertisement to help promote Monaco tourism, which was mainly aimed at Asian tourists, which had been negotiated by the agency for a long time.

After finishing the business in Monaco, Liu Ting will go back to China with Zhang Qiming, and Zheng Zhi also said that he will go back with them.

Coming out at the Capital International Airport, there were a lot of welcoming fans outside.

Zhang Qiming released the news on the Internet before they came back, many fans who paid attention to Liu Ting and Liverpool knew that they were coming back together, and they also knew that Zheng Zhi also came back with him, and now Zheng Zhi won the Champions League with the team Liverpool, and his reputation is also bullish, and there is already a trend of China's first star, so there are many fans who come to the scene to pick up the airport.

Outside the airport, there were many signs played by fans, such as 'Congratulations to Zheng Zhi on becoming the first Chinese player to win the Champions League', and there were also slogans such as 'Welcome Liu Ting home'.

According to the prior arrangement, Liu Ting and Zheng Zhi signed autographs for the fans for a few minutes at the airport to appease the fans before leaving.

With the addition of Zheng Zhi and this year's Champions League final goal shootout, Liverpool's domestic fame has soared. In fact, according to the survey of European authoritative institutions, Liverpool has become the second highest support rate in China, the first is AC Milan, the third is Real Madrid, and the fourth is Manchester United, and the top four support rates in China are not far behind.

Bordeaux, where Liu Ting played for one season last season, have become the favourites in Ligue 1 in China, just breaking into the top 20.

Liu Ting and Zheng Zhi stayed in the hotel they had booked in Beijing, and then there were some advertisements and TV interviews waiting for them, which were also arranged in advance by the Mondil agency after listening to Liu Ting's opinion.
