Chapter 422: Awards, Aftermath
readx;
After a little celebration on the pitch, the players returned to the dressing room, and the whole stadium was open to journalists, and officials and clubs knew that this was the time to give these media interviews. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Almost every Chelsea player was surrounded by reporters on the road, and Wang Li was stopped by a large group of reporters before he could even get close to the players' tunnel. The reporters shouted for him to face the camera, and then began to ask questions one by one.
"Congratulations on winning the Champions League, Alan, is there anything you would like to say in particular right now?"
'Now I'm very happy to get the trophy, it's an external recognition for me.' Wang Li waved at the fans and said excitedly: "I have been looking forward to this moment since the beginning of the season, and now it is finally here." ”
"What was it like when you scored the third goal, at that time, it didn't seem very happy to look at your face." At this time, a reporter asked about the point again, which made all the reporters from other media stop the discussion and listen to Wang Li's answer.
However, Wang Li felt that it was nothing, he just nodded and said: "At that time, the opposing players had no work ethic, and when I was dribbling the ball, they wanted to attack me with personal injury. ”
"I just want to say that everything I do, it's passive, and the live video of the game is proof of that, but, sorry, now that I've won the championship, I don't want to discuss this topic, if you have any questions, you can ask them later."
The reporters around them all nodded, and although they all wanted to cover the issue, it was clear that it was not appropriate to say that when Chelsea had just won the title, the conversation turned to the title.
'Alan, you said before Christmas that Chelsea were going to win the quadruple and now you've done it, can you talk about what you thought at the time? Did you know at that time that the team could win so many honors? A reporter from The Sun asked with interest.
Wang Li smiled and said, "All of us have always been very confident, and I think we can play our strength, which is closely related to self-confidence." We've had a goal of winning the quadruple and now we've achieved it, we're happy and excited, it's my first European title and I think there will be more in the future. ”
"So, do you think it's a miracle to lead Chelsea to the European Championship and the quadruple? Much of Chelsea's success this season has to do with you, what is your role in this miracle? Wang Li shook his head and said: "You are wrong, this is not a miracle, it is just the result of hard work, Manchester United can win the treble in 99, why can't we win the quadruple?" I think the strength of the team is a little bit stronger than Manchester United in '99. Moreover, all these achievements are made by us with sweat, not some miracle! ”
At this time, Wang Li thought for a while and continued: "I am a member of the Chelsea team, the core of the team's attack, I dare not say that the team could not have achieved this miracle without me, but if there was no me, it would certainly not be so easy, as a striker, I used goals to help the team win one by one, as a professional footballer, this is my job and responsibility, this is my position for myself." ”
Looking at the confident look on Wang Li's face, the reporters around him knew that these words were still a bit conservative!
If it weren't for this brunette kid in front of us, could Chelsea win the quadruple? No one will believe it.
For example, in the current UEFA Champions League final, if it weren't for the three goals scored by this black-haired kid, it is not certain who will win and who will lose, although the media are not optimistic about Liverpool before the game, but if Chelsea loses Wang Li, I am afraid that the two sides will immediately level to a level.
Many reporters can say with certainty in their hearts that without Wang Li, there will definitely be no honor of the quadruple champion, he is not only a key gentleman, but also the team's absolute goal pillar and source of goals.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Wang Li with envy.
The brunette kid in front of him is just 18 years old, he has such a strong strength at this age, it is conceivable that his future is full of brightness, I am afraid that even if he is affected by the violence of this game, but with this strength, he will still succeed in the competition of all the big clubs
After the Chelsea players were interviewed by reporters, they returned to the dressing room to do some small internal celebrations, and when Wang Li walked into the dressing room, it was already a mess, many players were playing with each other and spraying beer at each other, and when they saw Wang Li come in, they invariably targeted him.
As a result, Wang Li was instantly soaked all over.
"The Hero Returns!! Your Majesty, you're finally here!! "Joe. Cole opened another bottle of beer, sprayed it directly on Wang Li, and said jokingly.
"Your Majesty the Sage!! Your Majesty the Sage!! ”
At this time, other teammates also coaxed and said, now in England and Italy, Wang Li's name has been added in front of the media with a 'saint' word, which is a rare honor for football players, in European countries, the word 'saint' symbolizes greatness and unsurpassable, Wang Li's performance in this season does make people feel unsurpassed.
Wang Li was stunned, lowered his head and raised the oversized bottle of champagne in his hand, shook it a few times, and with a "bang" sound, he slapped the bottom of the bottle with his right hand, and directly jumped out of the bottle cap, so all those white foams gushed out and spilled everywhere, and he also reacted in a timely manner.
"Let you be arrogant! Ha ha! "The best player's champagne really works much better than the average beer.
Immediately, the whole locker room was in chaos again.
When manager Jose Mourinho walked into the dressing room, it was completely unshapely, and as soon as he opened the door, he almost slipped and fell to the ground, but it was the elderly Clarke next to him who helped him not to make a fool of himself in front of the players.
"Look at what you look like, give you 10 minutes to get everything sorted out, then go to the players' tunnel to assemble and get ready for the medal ceremony, if you go late, you won't get a medal!"
"Oh~~~~~~~~~"
Hearing that this player was coming immediately, they scrambled to go to the bathroom, turned on the maximum efficiency, casually rushed bare-bottomed a few times, and immediately came out to change clothes, that fast speed was really embarrassing.
When the players lined up on the pitch in their jerseys, just in time for the runners-up award ceremony, the Liverpool players came to the stage one by one to accept the awards and shook hands with the award presenters.
However, depending on the situation, they were not in a good mood to receive the award, and there were even a few players who were embarrassed to come forward to accept the award with a blue nose and swollen face, but they let the captain Gerrard receive it on their behalf.
Gerrard also showed an unhappy look, this runner-up is indeed very unwilling.
They have come to this point, but they fell to the ground directly 4:0, and no one will be happy, and they also know that tonight belongs to Chelsea, they are just a foil, this kind of supporting role is really unpleasant.
When Liverpool coach Benitez came down from the podium, the Chelsea players lined up in turn to get ready to play, at this time, it was the best of the field, the fans rushed to cheer for Chelsea, and the hosts of various TV stations were also introducing the Chelsea players one by one.
'We are champions and the champions belong to Chelsea!!'
'We cheer and get excited about the glorious moment when the blue shines on the whole land and the century-old Chelsea is ushering in!'
"We made the history of the club and made history with all its glory!"
The commentators on the pitch kept reading out the words sent by the fans, which made the Chelsea fans present very excited.
One by one, the Chelsea players walked from the sidelines to the podium, and as they passed by the sidelines, they kept greeting the fans around them, many of whom ran down from the spectator seats and shouted at the team under the interception of the security guards, just to make these players turn their heads and look at them.
At this time, on the stadium radio, the words that had been muttered finally came to an end, and the long-awaited words of the players came: "Next, we welcome the Champions League champions, Chelsea, to come forward to receive the award!" ”
At the same time, the fans shouted: "Champion!! Chelsea!! In the midst of this huge cheer, the Chelsea players walked up to the podium and walked to the podium, all with excited smiles on their faces, a moment that many players have dreamed of a lifetime and they have already achieved it.
Next, each player stepped forward individually to receive their medals, shook hands with the award presenters, and said some encouraging nonsense.
Among them, it was Mr. Johansen, the current president of UEFA, who presented the award to Wang Li.
The president, who has been in office since 1992, has played an indelible role in the development of European football, and has a great influence on European football.
"You've done a great job, boy." Johansen is 76 years old this year, and after hanging the medal around Wang Li's neck with trembling hands, the old man patted him on the shoulder with kindness and said: "You have created a miracle, a miracle that belongs to the striker, I hope this miracle can continue to be staged, come on!" ”
"Thank you." Hearing this compliment, Wang Li replied very politely, and at the same time, the big stone in his heart also fell.
Although he didn't care much about the impact of the fight on the field, but with the praise of the UEFA president, looking at his appearance, he would definitely support himself, so that the punishment he received would definitely be much lighter, and this time made him even happier.
'It's an exciting time for another English team to win the European Championship and Chelsea, the name, will forever be on the UEFA Champions League record!' The BBC TV host in England said excitedly: "They have not only made history for the club, but also made history for the Premier League team, they have won the quadruple, this season, it is perfect for them!" ”
At this time, Johansen was still saying to Wang Li: "Your performance is really impressive, you are better than many players, I think you will become a great player." Congratulations, lad, you have received a great honour that may be a new starting point for you. ”
"I'll work harder, sir."
By this time, Johansen had finished speaking, he walked to the podium, picked up the trophy that attracted everyone's attention with both hands, and walked to Wang Li instead, handed it to him, and said: "I don't know who is going to receive the trophy at Chelsea, but I think you are the one who is most qualified to touch this trophy first." ”
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this trophy, and this Big Ears Cup means the championship of the whole of Europe.
Wang Li stretched out his hands to hold the two 'ears' of the trophy, and then held him up high.
This one, the audience exploded!!
The fans, the journalists, whatever camp they belonged to, stood up and applauded Chelsea on this great moment, not just watching a medal ceremony, but witnessing a new chapter in the history of football!!
'Everybody knows what this moment represents, Chelsea have won the Champions League, they are champions of Europe!'
"I think everybody knows what they've been up to on their way to the title, and everybody knows who's contributed the most to this title, and there's no doubt that he's Allen who is lifting the trophy now. King!! ”
'As a striker, he's done the best, he's scored more goals than any other player, and it's with goals like this that Chelsea have achieved such glory, and I think we should give our blessings to this fighter who has the courage to fight hard, he is the brightest man tonight!'
Wang Li excitedly held the trophy for nearly half a minute, before he was reluctant to put down his hands, kissed the side of the trophy, and turned his head to hand it to the captain of the team behind him, John. John Terry, and then the trophy was passed from Chelsea player to Chelsea players, and the first thing almost everyone did when they received the trophy was to feel the heat of the trophy with their faces.
This moment belongs to them!!
From this moment on, they became the kings of Europe!!
It was exciting to be the king of Europe, but the holiday season after the honour was even more exciting for the Chels, who rushed back to London the day after the game to celebrate the day with the local fans, and the Fulham Hall welcomed them with a ceremony.
It was a great day.
But then the whole team was disbanded and the players went their separate ways to enjoy their holiday life.
As for Wang, he can't go on holiday just yet, as UEFA's decision on the violence is yet to come out and the whole Chelsea club is busy with it.
As soon as the heat of the European championship passed, the media immediately changed the subject and focused on the violence on the pitch.
According to the Guardian media, among the affected Liverpool players, Jamie. Carragher had the worst injury, he had an abdominal muscle injury, a jaw bone injury, a face damage and he had to stay in the hospital for at least four months before he could return to the court, which means that he had to spend the summer in the hospital.
Cowell, who is second only to Carragher, also suffered a facial injury and will have to spend at least three months in hospital, and the two men are living together in Liverpool Hospital.
Other players are less seriously injured but more or less in need of some treatment.
In an interview with the media, Jamie. Carragher claimed to take Wang Li to court, which he felt was not just a clash on the pitch, but a murder.
"His fierce appearance scared me, I didn't know what was going on, I felt that he did it on purpose, and even I felt that the next moment, I would face death." That's what he said at the time.
However, the "Sun" did not think so, and there was a video recording of the entire game, which clearly showed that it was obviously this disputable man who provoked him first, and if it rose to the level of personal injury, then Wang Li was just legitimate defense.
To this extent, Carragher's injuries were not even over-defended, after all, he was not disabled, let alone dead.
In fact, Carragher is just talking, and when his agent spoke in front of the media, he only emphasized that Carragher's injuries were very serious, and he did not mean to take Wang Li to court at all.
At this time, Chelsea Football Club is also operating non-stop, and their purpose is naturally to reduce the penalty to Wang Li, but this time Liverpool's loss is too great, and this kind of thing in the European Champions final will never be perfunctory, UEFA must come up with a decision.
UEFA took this matter very seriously, and the day after the match, they set up a special investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the situation.
As an important participant, Wang Li will naturally receive a summons that he will attend an impromptu interrogation in Switzerland on June 1.
He was noncommittal on this, he knew that it was just a cutscene, and the whole cause of the incident could be seen clearly in the game video, with cameras at almost every angle, and there was no need to justify it at all.
So, that day he went to attend the so-called interrogation, and at the same time, except for Jamie, who was living in the hospital. Carragher and Colwill, as well as several other Liverpool players, also appeared on the scene, and when they saw Wang Li's figure, their expressions were very strange, some had a 'look good for you', and some were full of helplessness.
However, Wang Li didn't care about this, he just entered the scene and talked to the people of the investigation team at the time arranged by the staff, mainly describing the situation at that time and emphasizing that he was a passive party.
After that, he walked out with Angela and returned directly to London.
At this time, Wang Li could only wait for the results at home
