When Chu Zhongtian saved Butzkes's penalty sideways, all the Barcelona players couldn't accept the reality - the powerful Barcelona actually lost to the weak Hoffenheim?

Chu Zhongtian and his teammates hugged each other tightly and celebrated the victory wantonly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Barcelona players were stunned one by one, and some even shed tears of sadness.

The dream of winning two trebles in three years was shattered.

"It seems that Pep Guardiola's Barcelona dynasty will have to wait a while for it to be established!" The German commentator said with a little sarcasm when he saw the Barcelona players on the screen.

Pep Guardiola is comforting his players on the pitch.

The defeat in this final was definitely a heavy blow for him and his team, but he was not discouraged. Because Barcelona are still the strongest team on the planet, Hoffenheim's Champions League title only shows that they have been lucky and strong this season. But that doesn't mean they're always like this.

But Barcelona can stay like this, this year we lost the final, next year we make a comeback!

This is the foundation, strength and self-confidence of a super giant.

Pep Guardiola patted the players on the shoulder and said: "Don't be discouraged, it's just an accident, we'll come back next year!" ”

On Hoffenheim's side, Rangnick had long been surrounded by his own teammates and then abandoned high.

He led this team for four years and created one miracle after another. Without him, Hoffenheim would not be where it is today. Whether it's Dietma. Hope, or Chu Zhongtian, is not as much credit as he came. If Dietma. If Hope hadn't brought in Rangnick, his team might have had to stay in the regional amateur league for a few more seasons. If it weren't for Rangnick personally going to China to persuade Chu Zhongtian to transfer, like Liu Xuande who looked at the thatched house, then Chu Zhongtian would not have chosen to join such an obscure small team, and naturally there would not have been a series of glories in Hoffenheim after that.

So he deserves to enjoy such a courtesy.

Dietma. Hope stood up in the VIP seat, raised his hands in the air, and hugged those around him.

Wembley Stadium has become a sea of joy – for Hoffenheim fans, of course.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were in tears and cheering.

They don't know what to do other than do it.

Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by reporters for the first time, he was the brightest star of the game, and was elected the best player of the game, and there is no doubt that he may even win the most valuable player in this season's Champions League.

"Chu! Look here! ”

"Look here, look here, hey! Clear! ”

The photojournalists shouted for Chu Zhongtian to look at their cameras, so Chu Zhongtian turned his head here for a while, and smiled at that side for a while. Of course, the most common ones are all kinds of microphones, voice recorders and mobile phones.

"First of all, congratulations on winning the Champions League, is there anything you would like to say in particular now?"

"I'm so happy!" Chu Zhongtian raised his arms and shouted, he was really excited. "I'm very happy to win this title!"

"You said before the game that this was your World Cup final, so do you still think so?" A Chinese reporter asked Chu Zhongtian.

"Yes, it's the final! I won the European Cup, which is the highest honour of my career as a footballer, and for me it is like this, the highest honour! Chu Zhongtian was a little incoherent with excitement, which is very rare. As the commander of the midfield, he remained calm most of the time.

But not today, the European Champions Cup honour is too exciting. This made Chu Zhongtian a little uncontrollable. Don't look at him so determined and calm in the game, after the game he still let go of his inner emotions like other players.

'Your last-minute saves were impressive, have you really never been a goalkeeper before?' English journalists are more concerned about this. There are so many gimmicks to hype up for this game, and this is one of them.

"No, I did. When I first started learning football, I learned goalkeeping ......"

Everyone suddenly realized, so it was! No wonder he behaved so professionally, not at all like an amateur goalkeeper who was temporarily replaced...... "Does it make you feel good about beating Barcelona?" The Spanish journalist asked.

"Yes, they are the strongest team in world football today and I am very happy to be able to beat them in such an important final. Such a championship is very weighty, and no one will say that we just took shit luck to get this championship! Chu Zhongtian replied sonorously and forcefully, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, neither saying that Barcelona was invincible in the universe and defeating them purely by luck, nor deliberately belittling their opponents to say that they were vulnerable.

"Is it a miracle to lead a country team like Hoffenheim to the European Cup?"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No, this is not a miracle. This is a testament to our strength. Since entering the Bundesliga, we have created a lot of good results, these are not miracles, we have fought for them! ”

On Chu Zhongtian's confident face, many reporters saw the fundamental reason for the success of this team.

There was a Catalan reporter who still couldn't accept the fact that his team lost to a team of Hoffenheim's level, and asked a little sour, as if he wanted to add to the celebration of Chu Zhongtian, he asked: "Although Barcelona lost the final, their football is indeed eternal, do you think so, Chu?" ”

Such a question is definitely not friendly, and the surrounding reporters were stunned for a moment, and some Chinese reporters were even more annoyed. But Chu Zhongtian's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also made everyone laugh.

He said: "Yes, football in Barcelona is eternal, but the championship belongs to us!!!" ”

A Chinese reporter next to him even applauded when he finished answering this question. What confidence, what pride...... the loser Barcelona players quickly retreated to the dressing room, and they had to come out to receive the award in a while, which was the real torment for them. Before the game, they thought that their victory was just a bit of a bump in the game, and the proud Barcelona players are now going to be the foil and cushion of the championship.

This is really an unacceptable situation for them who are proud. In the 21st century, they reached the Champions League final twice and won both times. The last time they didn't win the final was back in 1986, when they met Romania's Bucharest Stars at the Estadio Pizjuan, home of Sevilla, and lost 2-0 on penalties.

Today's Barcelona players have never tasted the runner-up podium.

"Barcelona, the strongest team in world football today, who are considered invincible, have been defeated! Lost in the most critical and most undeserved game! They were beaten by a Hoffenheim team many times weaker than Barcelona! This team from the countryside has done wonders! "The commentator is still enthusiastically summing up the game.

"How do miracles work? Just look at how Hoffenheim did in this game, especially when they were down by one goal and one man less, I think you can tell you about it. Chu's performance is just a microcosm, if he is the only one who performs well, Hoffenheim will definitely not be able to beat Barcelona! ”

"Congratulations! They shattered the myth of Barcelona's undefeated! They stopped Barcelona from dominating football. They let everyone know that Barcelona is not invincible! I think that's what this final means the most for us. A grassroots team has beaten the aristocracy and bigwigs, and in an impartial way, it is impeccable. I think even the most extreme Barcelona fans should have nothing to say at this time! ”

The Hoffenheim players went crazy on the pitch for a while, and after being interviewed by the media, they returned to the dressing room and needed to change their T-shirts to commemorate the championship - Hoffenheim FC was well prepared and considered the possibility of winning and not winning the championship. If you win, you're going to have to celebrate.

Everyone was still excited when they got back to the locker room. They even frolicked in the locker room with their bare butts.

Chu Zhongtian was the last to enter the locker room because he was going to be interviewed by the media, but as soon as he pushed the door in, he was poured champagne with champagne!

"Welcome our heroes !!" Ibisevic stood on a stool with a bottle of champagne that had not yet been poured, leading the crowd to shout.

"Hero! Hero!! ”

The other teammates stood in front of Chu Zhongtian, their hands raised high, and they leaned over to make a "bow posture".

More champagne was poured from Ibisevic's hands, and Chu Zhongtian was so embarrassed that he could only raise his hand to block it.

However, Chu Zhongtian was not to be outdone, he quickly grabbed a bottle of champagne and sprayed it at his teammates.

The whole locker room was in a mess.

In the end, everyone finished making trouble, and under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, they shouted: "Champion!" Champion! We are the champions! Champion! Champion! We are the champions!! ”

This scene, of course, was filmed by the media who flocked to it. Others poured wine at the photojournalists to get them involved and feel their joy.

In the end, at the urging of the assistant coach, these crazy players went to the bathroom to hurriedly rinse the champagne on their bodies, and some even didn't even take a shower, just put on a commemorative T-shirt and went out.

In fact, while they were still making noise in the locker room, the medal ceremony for the runners-up had already begun. Hoffenheim celebrated so frantically that they lost track of time, and Barcelona, who were waiting impatiently outside, took the lead in awarding the awards.

One by one, they walked up to the rostrum at Wembley Stadium to shake hands with UEFA President Michel Platini before receiving the silver medal from him. Only a few people will bow their heads and let Platini hang the silver medal around their necks, and many more will take the silver medal from Platini's hand and hold it directly in their hands, looking frustrated and unwilling.

Of course, they have reason to be unwilling, because they lost to an amateur goalkeeper who was temporarily replaced, and in four rounds of penalty shootouts, they didn't score a goal! Is there anything more shameful about this?

The most humiliating happened on the last penalty, Butzks's penalty kick was saved by Chu Zhongtian, he angrily kicked the bounced football kick towards the goal, took Chu Zhongtian who fell to the ground, jumped up from the ground with agility that ordinary people couldn't think of, and slapped the ball out again...... Even if the goal doesn't count, Chu Zhongtian doesn't want Barcelona to score, even if the game is over, Barcelona still can't score in his hands.

Platini was also disappointed that his favourite Barcelona did not win the title...... But the good thing is that Hoffenheim is not the kind of team that sticks to negative football, and Rangnick is not Mourinho. So this championship can still be said to be a victory for offensive football.

When Pep Guardiola came up to accept the award, Platini pulled him and said, "It's a shame that we didn't win." But you've done a good enough job, Josep. ”

Guardiola shook his head and said helplessly: "We're not very lucky......"

He meant that he ran into such a perverted player as Chu Zhongtian, but he didn't expect that the goalkeeper could be so good. But to others, his sentence is too under-pumping - one more person than others, and he has won a penalty, this is not good luck, what is good luck?

Platini smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Try again next season, Josep." Your football is trendy! ”

Guardiola smiled when he heard the UEFA president praise him like this: "Thank you, Mr. Platini. ”

It's just that when he turned to leave, the smile on his face disappeared. Just now he just forced a smile, and at this time he really couldn't laugh.

When the last Barcelona member stepped off the podium, Hoffenheim players appeared on the pitch, dressed in the emblem that read "Make History!" We are the champions! T-shirts with the words "lined up at the entrance below the stands". Fans close to Hoffenheim gathered in the stands to applaud and cheer for the Hoffenheim players. The Hoffenheim players high-fived them and even hugged them over the grandstand railings.

Chu Zhongtian was of course the most popular person, and he was even worried about how much hair he would have on his head at the end of the day.

Chu Zhongtian also draped a Chinese five-star red flag outside the commemorative T-shirt, and this bright red flag is natural. This made He Ping very excited: "Many players have the habit of wearing their own national flag after winning the championship, but unfortunately, we have never seen China's five-star red flag in the top European arena!" Today! Thank you Chu Zhongtian, he has fulfilled the dreams of many Chinese fans and Chinese football people! ”

The Barcelona players stepped off the high podium.

At this time, the live radio began to shout: "Next-let's welcome--crown-army-"

The Hoffenheim fans shouted in unison: "Hoffenheim - !! ”

"Yes! Welcome Hoffenheim!! They were the Champions League winners of the 2010-2011 season! ”

Amid the loud cheers, the Hoffenheim players walked up the steps one by one, up one step at a time, all the way to the podium.

The first to receive the gold medal from Platini was Salihovic, who, after shaking hands with Platini, turned around to show off his gold medal to the crowd, to the first round of applause.

After each player wins the gold medal, there will be applause and cheers in response.

"It's an exciting time!" The German narrator's voice trembled a little. "Ten years later, another German team has reached the top of Europe! Hoffenheim made history! Created their own miracle! ”

He Ping was also very excited, because Chinese player Chu Zhongtian won the Champions League. "We saw Chu Zhongtian standing at the back of the team, yes, at the end, after accepting the gold medal, he will lift the European Champions Cup in front of the whole world! This is the highest honor! It's his World Cup!! ”

When Rangnick walked up, Platini patted him on the face and touched his head, looking very happy, and there was no sign that he was more supportive of Barcelona.

"You've done a miracle in Hoffenheim, Mr. Rangnick." Platini approving.

"Thank you, Mr. Platini." The Hoffenheim manager modestly stated: "It's a credit to the players, the club's owner, Dietmar. Mr. Hope has the most credit, I just did what I was supposed to do......" He still had a smile on his face. Leading the team to the top of Europe, such a result is enough for him to enjoy for a lifetime.

In the end, Chu Zhongtian walked in front of Platini.

Platini looked at the player in front of him. He wasn't the first Asian player to lift the trophy, but he was definitely the first to play such an important role in the final as captain.

"Congratulations, Chu!" Platini stretched out his hand to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian shook Platini's hand: "Thank you, Mr. Platini. ”

"Your performance is impressive, and I'm sure your name will be on all the influential media around the world the next day."

After speaking, he hung the gold medal on Chu Zhongtian's slightly lowered neck.

Chu Zhongtian felt his neck sink, and at a glance, he saw the gold medal dangling in front of his chest, a heavy gold medal...... What many people have dreamed of is now really worn around his neck.

It was the pinnacle of his career, and at the age of twenty-seven, he was on the verge of lifting the most important trophy of his career.

After receiving the gold medal, Chu Zhongtian did not leave, and continued to wait there, Platini turned around and picked up the European Champions Cup from the trophy seat.

All eyes were drawn. When he lifted the trophy, many people couldn't wait to cheer.

But this is only sporadic, more people are holding their breath, holding back and waiting for this trophy to be handed over to Chu Zhongtian, and then it will burst out when he is held high.

"Everybody knows why Hoffenheim was able to reach the final and even beat Barcelona to lift the Champions League trophy. It's because they have Chu! There is an omnipotent Chu! Yes, anything! In this final, Chu showed us what it means to be 'omnipotent'. In midfield, he served as a playmaker, instigating the team's attack, while also successfully defending Messi's breakthroughs on several occasions. Up front, as a player with outstanding scoring ability, he used a beautiful shot to help the team equalize in the last minute and drag the game into extra time! Finally, on the goal line, he is still capable of turning the tide! The final moments of extra-time were thrilling, he tried to keep the door open, and he kept a clean sheet in the penalty shootout! ”

The German commentator gave Chu Zhongtian all the beautiful words he could think of.

Not to be outdone: "The captain of Hoffenheim, the absolute core of Hoffenheim, and the spiritual leader of Hoffenheim." There is also the expectation of hundreds of millions of fans in the motherland, and this huge pressure is placed on his shoulders as lightly. In the team's most critical moments, he stepped up. When everyone was at a loss, he stood in front of the goal. He's the hope of everybody, and seeing him on the pitch makes everyone feel at ease. I think ...... word 'flag' came about him......"

On the rostrum, Platini picked up the trophy, turned around, and smiled at Chu Zhongtian: "Congratulations, Chu." You and your teammates, it's the best in Europe! ”

After speaking, he handed the trophy to Chu Zhongtian.

When Chu Zhongtian's fingers touched the cold handle of the trophy, a throbbing sensation spread from the tips of his fingers to his heart. It's real, it's not a dream, this trophy really belongs to them!

He took the trophy from Platini and the live radio played Queen's classic "We Are the Champions".

Blue-and-white confetti sprayed out of the ceiling and flew all over the sky.

Chu Zhongtian turned around and raised the trophy high and announced to the world:

From today onwards, we are the kings of Europe!
