Chapter 20 From Today Onwards, Walk with Glory!

When Qin Shou and his teammates returned to the pitch again, UEFA staff had already set up the podium. In the middle of the stadium, a makeshift platform surrounded by garlands, around which countless journalists and videographers have already focused their cameras on the podium, just waiting for the champion team to ascend and record the iconic moment.

On the left side of the podium, a small table sits the European Super Cup winner's trophy, glittering with silver.

The Super Cup trophy is 58 cm tall and weighs 12 cm. 2 kg, in terms of weight, there is no shortage of "Super Cup" titles. Instead of the Champions League or Europa League, where there are ear-like handles on either side, the Super Cup trophy is placed on a base that looks like a wool curl, with rings on either side giving the winner plenty of room to lift it firmly.

Before Qin Shou and his teammates stepped onto the podium, they had to pass by the trophy, and the Atletico Madrid players looked at the silver trophy with shining eyes, and the more excited players would pretend to be careless and reach out and touch it when they passed by.

Qin Shou is one of the "careless people". It was the first time he had seen a real championship trophy and that he was so close. Whether it is the New York Red Bulls or the Premier League Arsenal, although there are some championship trophies in the honor room of the two clubs, it has nothing to do with Qin Shou, he has not participated in these championships, and he has not been in such close contact.

And this championship was won by him with his own hard work and sweat.

It's its own!

There is no one who doesn't like a champion, a player, in addition to salary and income, only the pursuit of honor.

Qin Shou's fingertips lightly touched the trophy, and a cold feeling came into his heart. But his heart is hot, and soon, the first championship trophy of his playing career is coming, and he will become one of the champion players.

Qin Shou had a bright smile on his face and quickly stepped onto the podium - not that he didn't want to stay, but that his teammates behind him were urging him to get out of the way quickly. Courtois, Godin and others also stepped forward impatiently, staring at the trophy with burning eyes, and then "accidentally" touched the trophy lightly.

Qin Shou laughed in his heart when he saw it on stage.

Atletico Madrid is a young team, with many of the players in the squad not very young and few of them having won titles. So in front of the trophy, almost all of them seemed very excited and excited.

Qin Shou suddenly felt a sense of ambition and pride in his heart, although they were young, but their beliefs were firm, he and his teammates would definitely be able to shine in the European arena, this championship was just the beginning!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Once everything is ready, the award ceremony officially begins.

Under the guidance of Miss Manners, several UEFA officials came to the podium, and the old man with gray hair and a slightly fat figure was particularly eye-catching.

He's Michelle. Michel Platini, current president of UEFA. In the European arena, he can be regarded as an absolute big man.

Although the UEFA Super Cup is not as important as the Champions League or the league championship trophies of the five major leagues, it is also an event that UEFA strongly promotes, and this is the last time the Super Cup will be held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

With a smile on his face, Platini was the first to shake hands with Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, and the staff was very clever to bring over the plate dragging the winner's medal, Platini will take a medal and solemnly hang the medal around Simeone's neck.

Then came the players. Every time Platini picked up a medal, an Atletico player leaned down slightly and asked the former to hang the medal. Then it's a smile and a handshake.

This is a set of award procedures, but in Qin Shou's opinion, this is more like a show.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Qin Shou, so when Platini walked in front of him with a smile, Qin Shou also lowered his head slightly and asked the UEFA president to hang the medal around his neck.

Platini stretched out his hand and said to Qin Shou with a smile: "Well done, Chinese boy!" ”

Qin Shou responded with a smile: "Thank you, Chairman." ”

"It's unbelievable that you're the first Chinese player to win a championship medal in Europe." Platini looked at Qin Shou with flickering eyes, but he had a different kind of thought in his heart. China is the most populous country in the world and has the largest number of fans in the world. Platini has been committed to developing the Chinese market with little success, and now there is a Chinese player in Europe's top league, and he is still a champion player, which will be a great help to the development of the Chinese market.

Platini said a few words rarely, and sent encouragement to Qin Shou: "Do a good job, little one." I hope I have the opportunity to wear a medal for you Qin Shou next time. ”

Platini patted Qin Shou on the shoulder, nodded to Qin Shou as if he had high hopes, and walked to the next Atletico player with a smile.

Qin Shou was a little stunned, next time? To be able to let the UEFA president personally present the award, the championship must not be light, Platini will only appear on the scene every time the Champions League final, could it be that the president wants to present himself in the Champions League?

In other words, is the UEFA president encouraging me to become a Champions League winner?

Qin Shou glanced at Platini strangely, shook his head, didn't bother to think about it anymore, and laughed and messed with his teammates.

After Platini put on the medals for all the Atletico players, he stood aside and a staff member brought the Super Cup trophy over.

"Qin, come here."

In the noisy team, Qin Shou suddenly saw the captain Gabby waving at him. Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, and then walked to the middle of the podium.

"You're standing here, standing with me." Gabi said.

Qin Shou immediately understood what Gabi meant.

Normally, the trophy is handed over to the captain of the team. And Gabi asked Qin Shou to stand with him at this moment, the meaning was very clear, that is, to let Qin Shou lift the championship trophy with him.

Qin Shou did not shirk, and being able to hold the championship trophy with his own hands is the biggest dream of a professional player. Moreover, Qin Shou was the biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game, and being able to lift the trophy was the best compliment to him.

Under the envious gaze of his teammates, Platini handed the trophy to Gabi's hand, and Gabi carried one end of the trophy and motioned for Qin Shou to grab the other end of the trophy.

Grabbing the trophy with his left hand, it is still a cold feeling, but his heart is still extremely hot.

Champion! Champion! I'm a champion player!

Qin Shou shouted in his heart, and a sense of pride that he had never felt before poured into his heart.

"In the 2011-2012 season, the winner of the UEFA Super Cup was—"

The live broadcast suddenly remembered the loud shouts, and the nearly 20,000 jerseys in the stands also let out deafening cheers and applause, and the fans were very cooperative, shouting the name "Atletico Madrid" one after another.

The radio sounded again: "That's right, the winner is Atletico Madrid!" From today on, they are the best club in Europe, they are the kings of Europe! ”

The UEFA Super Cup is not as valuable as the Champions League, but at least the title winner is the best club in Europe that season.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

The salute rang out violently, and countless colored confetti and streamers suddenly scattered over the podium, fluttering and disturbing, falling on the heads and faces of the Atletico Madrid players on the podium.

Queen's classic "WeAreTheChampions" song reverberated at the Stade Louis II for a long time - "Ole! Ole! Ole! WearetheChampions,I’vepaidmydues……”

In the midst of the cheers in the sky, in the confetti and streamers in the sky, Qin Shou and Gabi raised the trophy in their hands high at the same time. All the Atletico players opened their hands, raised them high and yelled in their mouths.

"We are champions!"

"We are the best club in Europe!"

"From this day on, we are the kings of Europe!"

The reporters and cameramen around the podium pointed their cameras at the stage, pressed the shutter, and the magnesium lights flickered like neon, forever freezing this picture in this most beautiful moment.

In the picture, Qin Shou opened his mouth wide, the excitement and excitement on his face never dissipated, and his left hand held the Super Cup silver glittering trophy high, and his smile was extremely bright.

It was his first trophy and the start of his legendary career.

Just as he shouted in his heart: from today on, be a champion player, from today on, with glory!
