Yang Pan suddenly fired a cannon 35 meters away from the goal, and sent the football towards the goal with a powerful long-range shot, which seemed to others to be AC Milan's last struggle, but Frei did not dare to slack off.

He flew down, reached out his fingertips and rubbed the football, followed the ball on the crossbar, and then popped off the bottom line!

Proud to Schalke exclaimed, so dangerous! Milan fans beat their chests to express regret, while Fiorentina fans patted their chests vigorously to soothe their hearts that had just been beating too fast.

Yang Pan pulled his shorts, raised his head and let out a long whistle, he felt more regret and heartache in his heart than anyone else.

"What a pity! What a pity! If Yang Pan scores this goal, he will become a hero for AC Milan! But Frey's performance saved Florence! ”

Sabato's mouth opened wide, and his exclamation had not yet had time to be uttered when Yang Pan shot the goal just now. He turned his head to look at Di Livio, who was also nervous, and then grinned: "When I go back, I will definitely propose to give Frey this kid a prize increase!" He's done a great job! ”

At this time, all the people on the Fiorentina bench gathered on the sidelines, ready to rush into the field after the referee blew the final whistle, and Yang Pan's long-range shot just now made half of them almost fall to their knees. Fortunately, Frei's performance is worthy of the title of the main goalkeeper.

After this false alarm, the Fiorentina fans quickly regained their optimism, and they kept jumping in the stands and singing "We Are the Champions".

Sabato kept yelling at the referee on the sidelines: "Whistle! Whistle! It's early! Look at the table! Look at the table! He gestured to his wrist.

Stoppage time was a long five minutes, and Zhang's third goal came in the first minute of stoppage time. In the remaining four minutes, Fiorentina almost retreated, even Zhang Jun returned to the penalty area to defend the high-altitude ball, AC Milan surrounded Fiorentina's half of the field and bombarded indiscriminately, trying to blast open the door of Fiorentina, Yang Pan's shot just now was only one of so many shots.

This time, however, it was a little different, as it was the last shot on goal for AC Milan in the game.

When Pirlo ran to the corner flag to take a corner kick, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match!

The Fiorentina fans who were proud of Schalke jumped up from their seats, their arms raised and cheering.

Fiorentina players and coaches on the sidelines also rushed onto the pitch, hugging players who were almost in collapse.

Bonella fell into Pazzini's arms and asked Pazzini with tears: "We won?" Did we really win? So, we're the kings of Europe now? Isn't that right? ”

Gasbaroni had already covered his face with his hands and was crying non-stop. This is not a bitter tear, but a tear of excitement and happiness. He made his debut with Juventus' youth team, then was selected for the Italian national team, then was abandoned by Juventus and finally came to Fiorentina, he never imagined that one day he would become a European champion, he thought that his career would come to an end in this repeated tossing and turning, and he lived his life in nothing.

When Crewe heard the referee blow the first whistle, he just lay down on the ground, stretched out his hands, a big word, and then looked at the night sky, panting constantly. It was the toughest and most tiring game he'd ever played, and it used up almost all of his energy.

Are we champions? Are we the champions of Europe? We trampled the whole of Europe under our feet?

He raised his hands and reached out into the night sky, as if trying to catch the ethereal starlight. Spread out your palms and then slowly clench them into fists.

yeah！

Sabato hugged this, hugged that, and kept comforting his teammates. Ridiculous, right? As a champion team, it still needs consolation. But who makes them all newbies? Is it the first time you have won this award? Happiness comes so suddenly, so that many people's hearts don't know what kind of performance should be made.

Ren Yudi and Sophie hugged each other the moment the referee blew the whistle, of course...... They soon separated.

Batistuta stood behind the two in a daze, a little unresponsive. He must have remembered his performances at the Camp Nou, at Old Trafford, which were none of them in the final. His Fiorentina lacked the opportunity to play in European competitions, and he and Fiorentina at the time were just passing visitors to the European scene, even if he later moved to Roma and Inter Milan. Unexpectedly, five years after his retirement, this new Fiorentina team has become the king of Europe, the league champion, the European champion, and his unfulfilled dreams have allowed these young people to do it.

Zhang Jun kept hugging his teammates, sometimes he took the initiative, and sometimes someone else came to him. Countless reporters surrounded him and kept taking pictures of him. He is the best player of the game, a well-deserved protagonist, who does not shoot him?

There are also reporters who frequently throw out questions when he is in a good mood: "Zhang Jun! Talk about your feelings and talk about the game! ”

"There's nothing to say, I'm happy and excited!" Zhang Jun used this sentence to answer all the questions.

Finally out of the encirclement for a while, Jang Jun searched the crowd for his target.

When Fiorentina began to celebrate, there were still some Milan players who stayed in the middle of the field, and some of them could not accept the result of defeat, helplessly and unwilling to look at the excited Florentina.

Yang Pan and Kaka stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines, draped in towels, looking at the lively stadium. A moment ago, it was the place where they fought, but now it is packed with spectators and journalists, like a noisy bazaar.

Neither of them spoke, and they didn't know what to say in the face of this situation.

The game has just ended, and I must be unwilling in my heart. Originally, they were leading until the end, but who knew that they would be overturned in the end. What a champion in hand! AC Milan was empty, there was hope for everything, and in the end there was nothing. It's not like this for a year or two.

A few years ago, the media was still promoting the Milan dynasty, but they didn't expect the birth of a Florentine, and the trajectory of the future was deflected.

The two of them just watched everything in front of them quietly, until Zhang Jun walked in front of them.

"What? To comfort the losers? Yang Pan asked.

Zhang Jun smiled: "With reporters here, of course you have to do enough to save face." Actually, I want to say that it was a great game, thank you very much. ”

Kaka rolled his eyes: "Cliché! Words! Hmph, the victors are all like this. ”

Yang Pan smiled, "Kaka, you are too ignorant, so many reporters are watching, come, learn from me." He hugged Zhang Jun, then grabbed the jersey, "Do you want to exchange jerseys?" ”

Zhang Jun directly punched Yang Pan in the chest: "Damn, don't pretend!" You asked me to rob you of the championship. ”

"Yes, that's right, I said that."

"Now I've snatched it."

"Well, that's good. We'll get it back, you're not going to retire at the end of the season, right? ”

"Do you think I'm the kind of coward who runs away?"

"That's not for sure." Kaka screamed beside him.

Zhang Jun glared at Kaka: "Feng Qing has said more than once that I am injured, but I know my body very well, as long as I can still kick, I will kick down, unless it is impossible to walk, I will give up." ”

Yang Pan looked at Zhang Jun's feet: "Actually, I really hope that you will retire immediately, so that our Milan will have one less biggest opponent, wahaha!" I knew that I would give you a little bit of a hard fight during the game! ”

"Damn! You're so bad! Zhang Jun looked at Kaka again, and then said to him, "Actually, Kaka doesn't have to be too frustrated, we still have a chance to fight?" ”

Kaka looked at Jang Jun.

"Soon, right now, in South Africa. I'm sure we'll meet again, but I don't know exactly when. Don't worry, we lost to you in Germany in 2006, and we will definitely get it back in South Africa this year. Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kaka and Yang Pan respectively, and suddenly the flashing lights flashed, and the three of them said goodbye with a smile.

Kaka, who walked back to the locker room, said to Yang Pan: "I believe that the current Chinese team has this ability, but football is round, and strength does not mean everything, so before you meet us, you had better not be eliminated." ”

Yang Pan turned his head and smiled at Kaka: "Don't worry, before we met Brazil, we didn't lose so easily." "At this moment, they are no longer teammates of AC Milan, but opponents in the World Cup, Brazil and China.

※※※

While the players were celebrating frantically and the reporters were desperately taking pictures, UEFA staff had set up a simple podium in the middle of the pitch - a large advertisement for sponsors was spread on the ground, and then in front of it there was a horizontal board with the following lines written:

champions！

uefachampionsleague2009-10。

All the Fiorentina players felt a rush of blood rush over their heads when they saw the board. They turned out to be European champions to enjoy this honor.

This kind of scene has been seen on TV more than once, and now it's their turn.

However, they still need to be patient, because the first prize to be presented is the runner-up AC Milan, and one silver medal per person is a matter.

Everyone went up in silence and bowed their heads to accept the silver medal, which they did a year ago at the Bernabeu, finishing runners-up two years in a row, much to the frustration of many people.

One of the most painful is their goalscorer Shepchenko, who has decided that his contract with Milan will expire at the end of this season and will not be renewed, and he will retire.

I wanted to give this trophy as his last gift before retiring, but he still lost to Fiorentina. He didn't get a chance to play in this game, and he complained about it, so he was not in a good mood when he received the award. At the time of the award, UEFA president Vest, who was in charge of presenting the award, patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Shepchenko also politely said thank you. But when he stepped off the stage, he took off the silver medal around his neck, and held it in his hand helplessly and watched his other teammates receive the award.

After the awards, they are probably leaving. Watching others excitedly lift the trophy was not a good feeling at all.

When Basten was the last to go up to accept the award, the Fiorentina fans began to get agitated, and they had been waiting patiently until the moment came.

Even the Fiorentina players couldn't suppress their excitement and began to sing up.

The Milan players who finished the runners-up award did not all leave the field, and some people stayed, not knowing what kind of psychology they were in. Yang Pan and Kaka appeared on the sidelines again, when Yang Pan came to the stage to accept the silver medal just now, he had a silver medal around his neck, and he stared at the championship trophy greedily for a long time, almost out of shape.

Although it was his friend who received this honor, it was still painful for him to be in the depths of his heart.

"Look, Kaka, the shiny trophy, did you say it was made of aluminum alloy or sterling silver?"

"It's really useless, it's still aluminum alloy! What about sealing the balcony before you were in your home? I've touched it, silver. ”

"You've touched it?" Yang Pan turned his head to look at Kaka.

Kaka nodded: "Just now, sneaky." ”

“…… Can you touch it? Why don't you bite it with your teeth? ”

"I wouldn't mind if that old man in West wanted to. Haha, don't worry! We're only twenty-eight years old, aren't we? It's the golden age, we still have a lot of time to go, we still have a long career, and we ...... "Kaka paused," ...... There are opportunities. ”

After a slight pause, Kaka asked, "Do you want to go?" Our awards are over. ”

Yang Pan shook his head: "Wait, I want to see Zhang Jun holding that trophy in the nearest place." ”

So the two stopped talking and waited quietly.

※※※

One by one, the Fiorentina players took the stage to receive their awards, and Vestre hung the gold medals around their necks in turn. Zhang Jun stood below, patting his teammates on the back one by one and pushing them up.

Xiang Tao still had a Florentine scarf around his neck, and he didn't take it off when he received the award, he held up the gold medal and kept kissing it on his mouth, and then shouted loudly into the TV camera. It's a pity that the scene was so noisy that the audience couldn't hear what he was shouting.

Lip-syncing: "For Youyou, for my parents!" I love you! ”

Crewe followed Xiang Tao to the stage, so the contrast between the two is very big. Xiang Tao jumped up and down excitedly like a monkey, and Crewe went to the stage with a calm expression to shake hands with West, then bowed his head to accept the gold medal, then shook hands with other officials, and then came down to stand aside with other teammates who had already received the award.

But Zhang Jun, who had sharp eyes, saw the smile on the corner of Krew's mouth when he lowered his head because of the angle he was standing.

The teammates all went up, followed by the coaches, Sabato was the last of the coaches to go up to receive the award, in front of the UEFA president, he pretended to be a gentleman, polite, not at all like the foul-mouthed hooligan in the game just now.

Vest grabbed Sabato and said, "Well, although you haven't caused us trouble all these years, I have to say, you're doing a good job." You're amazing to have taken Fiorentina from a relegation team to a European champion. West gave him a thumbs up.

Sabato smiled, "Thank you, Mr. for the compliments, these are the efforts of those players." He gestured to the singing and dancing players behind him.

Vester laughed, patted Sabato on the shoulder, and sent him down. Next he's going to take on a big shot.

Yes, big shots. As the second hero in history to score a hat-trick in a UEFA Champions League final and the best striker in all competitions, fifteen goals just broke AC Milan's record of 14 goals in 62/63.

The cheers of the fans in the stadium doubled as everyone chanted his name.

"Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun!! Zhang Jun!! ”

Amid deafening cheers, Zhang Jun raised his arms to thank the fans, and then stepped onto the podium.

"Congratulations, Zhang." West smiled and shook hands with Zhang Jun, and then hung the gold medal around Zhang Jun's neck, and Zhang Jun humbly lowered his head.

shook hands again, and then West took down the championship trophy on the high platform next to him and handed it to Zhang Jun.

It was the first time Zhang Jun had gazed at the trophy from such a close distance, which was widely regarded as the club's highest honour and the European Champions Cup with a history of 54 years.

His hand as he reached over to receive the trophy shook slightly, and West could see Zhang Jun's nervousness. He smiled and said, "Be careful, don't fall to the ground unsteadily." ”

Zhang Jun was relieved by what he said, and then took over the trophy representing high honor from Vest.

Then take a deep breath and lift it up again.

Behind the backdrop, countless purple confetti sprayed up, accompanied by the classic music "We Are the Champions" playing on the stadium radio.

We are the champions!

We are the kings of Europe!

Starting from the Netherlands, this music is no longer unfamiliar to Zhang Jun. Dutch Cup, Serie A, Italian Super Cup, Italian League Cup, UEFA Champions Cup!

Now only the World Cup remains.

The championship cup was held high again, and the audience cheered thunderously, and the hands of teammates reached over and lifted the championship trophy that they had been fighting for for two years. Loud shouting, loud laughing, loud singing. Purple confetti fluttered down from the roof of the stadium, above which fireworks burst into the night sky.

What a feast.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 09/10 European Champions League season had a perfect ending, and Fiorentina finally climbed to the top of European football with their own efforts. Proud to go to Schalke tonight is a sea of purple, the world of Florence, and the stage where Zhang Jun is king! They are the European treble winners this season, and Zhang Jun himself has won all the individual honors he can win: the top scorer in the league, the top scorer in the Italian Cup, and the top scorer in the European Champions Cup...... Let's look forward to his wonderful performance in South Africa in the next World Cup! Thank you all for tuning in, the 09/10 season has come to an end, so we'll see you next season! ”

※※※

The fans have faded away, but there are still some fans gathered at the stadium gate, waiting to see their heroes. They kept chanting the names of every player in the Fiorentina team and waving the Florentine scarves in their hands.

At the same time, the whole Fiorentina team was still partying in the dressing room of the stadium.

Ren Yu sent Sophie away, and then said to Batistuta beside him: "Let's go, we should go and see those players, thank them well." ”

Batistuta nodded.

When they were still some distance from the door of the locker room, the two of them heard a commotion coming from inside. They met and smiled, the madness after the victory, ha.

The two stood at the door, and Batistuta also straightened his tie. Then they pushed the door in.

The players, who were still noisy, quietly watched the two club bigwigs who came in - one was the chairman and the other was the general manager.

"Well, Gabriel and I are here to congratulate you, you did a great job...... "Ren Yu caught a glimpse of Zhang Jun as he spoke, and he kept smiling next to him.

He didn't know why Jang Jun was smiling like that, he instinctively leaned towards Batistuta's side.

"Cheers to victory!" Zhang Jun suddenly shouted, and then poured half a bottle of champagne in his hand on Ren Yudi, and with a little bit, the batistuta behind him was also affected by the pond fish and drenched.

"Hey! Zhang Jun! I haven't finished my sentence yet......" Ren Yu shouted as he covered his face with his hand.

"Alright, Yudi! Don't talk about that nonsense, don't be so literate, let's have a carnival! Zhang Jun changed a bottle of champagne and poured it on his head again. woooooooow～～～”

"Damn! Dare to yin me! Ren Yudi didn't care about his speech, picked up a bottle of champagne in his hand and poured it back on Zhang Jun.

Batistuta looked at the crazy people in front of him, as if he had returned to his own playing days, and he felt his blood boiling, eager to mess with these young people, so he grabbed a bottle of champagne and joined the team.

Sabato poured a bottle of champagne on Di Livio's head and shouted, "Come on! Come on! Crazy night! Ha ha! ”

Di Livio also threw away the elegance he had always insisted on and retaliated with a merciless champagne attack on Sabato.

When all the champagne and beer in the dressing room had been consumed, the party finally ended. Ren Yu tidied up [***] suit, and said to his men a little funny: "Take a shower, let's go back to the hotel, and tomorrow we will go back to Florence, and the whole city will welcome you like a triumphant hero." ”

When the players simply bathed and changed their clothes, they stepped on the bus parked outside the stadium, and there were still many die-hard Fiorentina fans guarding the outside of the stadium at this time. The excited players also stood up one by one and raised their hands to thank the fans.

When the bus finally came out of sight, the fans gradually dispersed.

"Arnold! Haven't come home yet? The stadium staff greeted his colleagues who hurried past him.

The man paused, looked back at the other man, and smiled, "Maybe it'll take some time." The Florentine guys are really noisy, the locker room is so messy, I'll have to get a cleaner to clean it up. ”

"Haha! yes, tonight was their first time. Did you watch the game? ”

"Of course." Arnold nodded.

"Hey! It's wonderful! The big comeback at the last moment, Zhang's hat-trick, there was a Champions Cup final here a few years ago, but I think today is enough! You know, I almost got the score wrong in the last minute. It's not easy for them to ......" he said by "they" means Fiorentina players or fans, no one knows.

"yes, a great game. It's a perfect end to the season, and it should be a good holiday ahead. Well, I'm going to hurry up and get to work. Good bye. ”

"Goodbye, I have to go to work, and when you're done, tell me I'll turn off the lights." The two waved goodbye.

When the locker room was cleaned by the cleaners, Arnold turned off the lights in the locker room with his own hands, then closed the door and walked out. Behind him, the lights in the hallway went out one by one.

Across the roof of the Schalke Stadium, huge lights went out one by one, making a thumping sound. When the last row of lights went out, the stadium went back into darkness, quietly waiting for the next season.

※※※

Zhang Jun did not return to the hotel where the team stayed with the team, and after he arrived at the hotel, he took Ren Yudi's private car to another hotel.

There Hua Fang is waiting for him, he needs to sign several new commercial contracts, including a new contract given to him by Nike, and there is a bigger increase in remuneration, all because he led the team to the European championship, won the treble this season, and became the hottest star in the whole world football, and he deserves more generous rewards.

Nike wanted to let Zhang Jun play the starring role in the near future to shoot a suitable commercial for their company, but Zhang Jun simply refused this request considering that he was about to prepare for the World Cup. The two sides discussed this issue for about half an hour, and in the end it was Nike that was convinced. They promised to wait until after the World Cup was over to make a commercial.

At first, the representative of Nike urged him to shoot a commercial out of the idea of using Zhang Jun as much as possible, but now he was helplessly dragged after the World Cup, but he did not expect that they would become the biggest beneficiaries. The representative who agreed to postpone the shooting of the commercial film without authorization was later promoted and became famous.

Of course, what made Zhang Jun rush from one hotel to another in such a hurry was not these commercial contracts that could bring him a good return, but because in a certain room on the twenty-third floor of this hotel, Sophie was waiting for him.

All of this was arranged by Ren Yudi and his subordinates just after the end of the game.

knocked on the door, it was Sophie who came to open the door, Zhang Jun hugged Sophie in his arms violently, and then swung his right foot back, like kicking a dragon, and closed the door beautifully.

Zhang Jun hugged Sophie, his lips were already imprinted, and there was only the sound of two people panting in the room. After a long time, they separated, Zhang Jun still hugged Sophie, and at the same time, behind him, he turned the indicator light outside the door of the room to "Do Not Disturb".

"A night when it was just the two of us." Zhang Jun said to Sophie with a smile, and Sophie blushed and lowered her head.

The hero triumphed, everyone cheered and greeted, and returned home to see his beautiful girl. This is an old-fashioned plot in countless myths and legends, but it makes the current Zhang Jun extremely happy.

※※※

The next day, Zhang Jun and Sophie met Ren Yudi directly at the door of the room, and he personally drove the two to the airport, because the team had already arrived one step ahead of them.

"You two, how did you rest last night?" Ren Yu smiled and looked at the two of them blushing in front of him.

"Let's go." Ren Yu shook the car key in his hand, "Today I will be the driver for our big hero." ”

On the bus to the airport, Ren Yu was briefing Zhang Jun about what he might face when he returned to Florence: "I have arranged an open-top bus, and the team will get on this bus when they get off the plane." Then start our parade and end at the Municipal Square, under the statue of David, to celebrate our first Champions Cup victory. There will be 10,000 people coming, and the scene will be spectacular. You have to be ready, Zhang Jun. Because you will be the main character. ”

"The protagonist ......," Jang Jun sat in the back row and muttered softly, "No, the protagonist is the whole team." If it hadn't been for Crewe's resolute breakthrough down the middle, there would have been no foul and there would have been no free-kick opportunity. If it weren't for Xiang Tao to cover for me, I wouldn't have had a chance to shoot easily. If it hadn't been for Frei's last-minute save, perhaps the champions would have been Milan's by now. Without the joint efforts of all the players and coaches, this trophy would not have been possible. Zhang Jun looked out the window, his mind seemed to return to yesterday's game, it was really a fierce and wonderful game, until now I think about it, Yang Pan's last kick against the goalpost and flew out, it still makes his heart beat.

'It's just that I'm a striker, I'm scoring more goals and being more glamorous. Football is not billiards, it is not athletics. It's a team sport and I'm nothing without the support of my teammates. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have succeeded until now? Because I have a good group of teammates, a good group of coaches and a good boss. ”

Ren Yu, who was driving, smiled, and Zhang Jun clearly saw his smile in the rearview mirror.

"Zhang Jun, when will you learn to pat on the back?"

"Cut! I'm not going to slap you on the back, I'm telling the truth. ”

"Well, I like to hear the truth."

Both of them burst out laughing at the same time.

When he arrived at the airport, the hooligan Xiang Tao always glanced at Zhang Jun and Sophie with bad intentions, Zhang Jun was used to Xiang Tao's hooligan eyes, he turned his face away and chatted with Crewe. And Sophie said to Xiang Tao with a smile on her face that if he didn't restrain herself, she would go back and she would read him in front of Youyou. Frightened, Xiang Tao hurriedly made a decent gentleman's appearance and went to Sabato to "talk".

Fiorentina's departure was a big event for the German football news media, and the airport was surrounded by numerous press corps, and the players were used to chatting, talking on the phone and joking around under the flashing lights of the reporters.

Sabato looked at the reporters and pouted at Di Livio beside him: "What is this?" When we return to Florence in a while, I am sure that we will be greeted by even more crazy scenes, big scenes! He spread his arms and stretched out as much as he could, gesturing in front of Di Livio.

The plane flew into the sky and left Schalke with the Florentina players, the silver trophy, the city that is sure to leave the Florentine people with endless memories.

※※※

When the plane hovered over the city of Florence, waiting for the airport to arrange to land, the players were already surprised to see the dense purple crowd below, and it was really spectacular when viewed from the air.

"Tsk...... Big scene, big scene ......" someone can already only repeat the word.

Purple runs along the streets, like a purple and gold line, from the airport to the center of Florence.

At the same time, on the tarmac of the airport, the officials of the Florentina Municipal Axe and the presidents of the Italian Football Federation and the Italian Professional Football League are standing there, waiting to bring back the Fiorentina team with high honors for Italian football - ironically, just a few months ago they were the public enemies of Italian football, and everyone wanted to kill them.

When the plane was still running to taxi, Zhang Jun was elected as the representative of the team and appeared in the camera cab, and then he asked the captain to open the porthole, leaned out, and held the European Champions Cup high with one hand.

"Hooray! Florence! You are the king of Europe! ”

Even the mayor of Florence, the old man who usually looked like a dog, tied a purple Florentine scarf around his neck and cheered with his arms raised like a regular fan.

Zhang Jun leaned outside, the purple Fiorentina flag tied to the Champions Cup handle fluttering in the wind.

It was truly an unforgettable moment.

When the plane came to a stop, Zhang Jun and Sabato each held the two handles of the Champions Cup, walked down the ladder at the same time, and then they lifted the Champions Cup high, an honor that all clubs in Europe dream of, like a crown on the head of a king. Now it belongs to Florence!

After a brief speech at the airport, Sabato and Zhang Jun boarded the bus that had been prepared long ago, holding the Champions Cup. As Ren Yudi put it, it was an open-top bus specially prepared for the parade -- the kind of double-decker bus with the roof cut off.

Since the road was full of people, although there were police cars driving the way, the speed of progress was almost the same as that of walking.

Despite this, the players on the bus did not get tired in the slightest, and they kept lifting the championship trophy and greeting the crowd on both sides, and then exchanged for wave after wave of cheers.

The team passed through the training ground in Florence, where Zhang Jun and his companions worked hard and sweated through a beautiful evening.

Then we passed Frankie Field. There was a little ** here, because there were quite a few people gathered here, and they were like watching the game in the stadium, singing the Florentina team song, chanting the names of the heroes, and making waves of Mexicans.

"Welcome home! Heroes! The huge banner was unfurled, and everyone had a sour nose when they saw it. They are so desperate to win on the court, in addition to being worthy of the salary offered by the boss, isn't it to get the recognition and respect and love of these people?

Zhang Jun pointed to the court.

This sacred Frankie has witnessed the rise and fall of Florence for more than half a century, from the original obscure small stadium to the famous European large stadium that can accommodate more than 60,000 people, she and the Florence football team have experienced too many ups and downs.

She has become part of the city of Florence, into the life and blood of the Florentine people. Like the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiori, like Giotto's bell tower, like the statue of David, it became a proud symbol of Florence. It would be an honour for any Fiorentina player to play here.

All the fans see this as the Jerusalem they think they are. They are fanatical about it, they are extreme about it.

After Baggio was sold by Juventus for a record $8 million, Juventus came to play away games the following year, and Baggio accompanied the team to Frankie and needed bodyguards. In that game, Juventus won a penalty, but Baggio refused to take the penalty. Towards the penalty spot was the famous German star Thomas. Hasler, who later said the words, is a true reflection of the special atmosphere at Frankie Stadium:

"It's not like you're playing against one team, you're playing against the whole city."

"To be able to play here is a memorable time in my life, and it is an honor for my life." Zhang Jun pointed to the Frankie Stadium at sunset and muttered.

I don't know how long it was, but when the convoy came to their final destination, Plaza Mayor, it was already sunking. A golden glow spread throughout the city of Florence. The view against the purple crowd is stunning.

The square was already packed with Fiorentina fans, and the team all climbed to the second floor of the town hall and went out on the balcony to greet their followers.

Zhang Jun grabbed the championship cup and held it by his side. Then he made a short speech.

'When I came here, I said I wanted to help Fiorentina get promoted to the first division and we did that. After the World Cup, it was rumored that I was going to leave here, but I persevered, and now I want to thank me for my perseverance. Thank you all. ”

The fans fell silent and listened to the leader's speech.

"We come from all over the world, we speak different languages, we have different beliefs, we have different surnames, but because of Florence we come together. Along the way, you have your selfless support, encouragement, applause and cheers for us, and we have come to this day. Now, we are the kings of Europe! We are the Great Triple Crown! In the years to come, we will still be with you and strive for any honor. Please continue to be with us, encourage us when we fail, and cheer for us when we win! Glory to Florence and glory to each and every one of you!! ”

He lifted the trophy again. Everyone followed him with their arms raised and shouted, "Hooray! King of Europe! ”

(To be continued)
