232 Above the pinnacle, the myth of the youth army
Two more! ――
"The 2003-2004 Champions League final is over! Ajax beat Porto 3-2 to win this season's Champions League! Congratulations to Ajax and congratulations to Qin Xiong, the Chinese player who played well in this game! Ajax's three goals in the game were related to him, the first goal was his long-range shot to create goalkeeper Baia's hand, Ajax captain Van der Vaart made a supplementary shot, and the second goal was his header after receiving Sneijder's pass outside the penalty area to directly assist his teammate Ibrahimovic to score, these two goals were crucial, because Porto's two leads were equalized, and at the last moment, when the regular game time was about to end, Qin Xiong received Ibrahimovic's return pass outside the penalty area and staged a stunner! His powerful shot sent the ball into the net!
There is no doubt that Qin Xiong has become a representative figure among Chinese players studying abroad, and he has written a new history and new heights of Chinese players in European football in one season, the first Chinese player to play in a giant, the first Chinese player to compete in the Champions League, and the first Chinese player to win the Champions League as the main force!
Ajax has always been the soil for the birth of myths in European football, and it is the cradle of superstars!
Last season's 02-03 generation of Ajax has already shocked European football.
They reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, losing to eventual champions AC Milan, a game that was a disappointing, just a few minutes away from Ajax's Champions League semi-finals, but Tomasson's strike caused the Ajax youth to be hit by thunder.
When Zivo and Donny van der Meyde left for the Apennines, the European media believed that Ajax's competitiveness would drop significantly, and they would not be able to achieve a better record than last season.
They were wrong. Ajax shocked the world. Genius was poached. They continue to nurture geniuses! Sneijder, Qin Xiong, De Jong, and Heitinga, who have been promoted to the main force this season, are amazing! Blockbuster stories are not uncommon in Ajax!
At the same time, they have also been successful in recruiting Czech Republic international Grigra, French defender Escud Escud has played a huge role in the team's championship, and veterans like Galasek have also played a huge role in the team.
Today in 2004. After Ajax won the Champions League, they will lift the Champions League trophy for the fifth time after winning the Champions League in 1971, 1972, 1973 and nine years ago in 1995!
According to UEFA rules, teams that have won the Champions League five times will be eligible to keep an authentic trophy in perpetuity!
The significance of this trophy is extraordinary, and congratulations to Qin Xiong once again for being able to leave his name in the glorious history of the European Champions Cup, and to make himself an indelible figure in the great glory of Ajax FC today!
There will be an award ceremony next, don't walk away, we will continue to broadcast the award ceremony and follow-up reports live for you! ”
At the moment when the final whistle blew. Qin Xiong's consistently highly concentrated thinking and tense nerves were fully relaxed, and he felt as weak as collapse. It's not all because of exhaustion, but because of the great joy that makes my mind go blank.
He lay on the court, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes closed, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl.
In the stands, De Coize, Pister, Rutmanson three old men wearing Ajax jerseys hugged each other to celebrate, De Coize, the big fat man, also made a model of the Champions League trophy when he came to the stadium, and kept it in his arms, at this time, the old man was stupid and enviable, and the three of them held up the trophy model in De Coize's hand together, as if they were players on the field, and made a weird roar, as if they had received the trophy to show the world.
Sylvia, who also wears an Ajax jersey like her brother Georgia, looks uniquely feminine today.
The girl who wears the jersey has an alternative aesthetic in itself.
It was the first time she watched Qin Xiong's game on the spot, and even the first time she walked into the stadium to watch a football match in the stands, although she had watched Ajax's game on TV before, and had seen Qin Xiong's heroic appearance on the field, but it was really different from the feeling of watching the game live.
TV broadcasts can't always lock the live camera on Qin Xiong, right?
Although Qin Xiong has two postures on and off the court, in life he is a Sven man, and his social personality is obviously shy, but on the field, he is full of momentum, wild, and elegant in hot blood.
This made Sylvia's eyes can't be taken away from Qin Xiong, her eyes are bright and moving, and at this moment she also showed a very rare exaggerated smile, which is more out of shape than before, but it is still bright and moving, she is happy for Qin Xiong!
Georgia was already scurrying around in the stands like a little lion, and he couldn't wait to tell the Ajax fans around him that Qin Xiong had taught him to play, and he knew that Qin Xiong would help Ajax win the championship, and he was proudly showing off the accurate predictions of his little prophet, which caused many Ajax fans around him to laugh.
They're all Ajax fans, so who wouldn't be confident before the game that the team would win the game?
Freddie didn't join the others in the revelry, he stood seemingly calmly in place, out of place with the surrounding vibe.
He locked his eyes on Qin Xiong, who was lying on the ground in the court, closed his eyes and showed a mature smile.
Perhaps it was the fantasy that Qin Xiong had improvised while painting for many years, which made Freddie close his eyes at this moment and couldn't help but fantasize about the fantastic scene in front of him.
He seemed to see an angry dragon in Chinese culture rising into the sky in Qin Xiong's body, reaching to the sky and shining in Europe!
The Chinese dragon has truly soared into the sky and become a new force that cannot be ignored in the green world!
When Qin Xiong opened his eyes again, he saw Ibrahimovic and Sneijder standing beside him, looking down at him together, with excited smiles on their faces, they reached out together to pull Qin Xiong up, and then the three of them hugged each other, hugged each other's shoulders and celebrated with their teammates winning the championship.
Koeman lifted his pants before entering the stadium, and as he hugged his assistant in celebration, he jumped and jumped so much that his pants almost fell off.
He walked into the field and showed a look of excitement and wildness that was very inconsistent with the usual, high-fived and hugged the players, and praised every player without hesitation.
The Ajax players were not in the mood to pay attention to the reaction of the Porto players, and the stadium was a landscape of ice and fire, with Ajax being as passionate as fire and Porto as cold as water.
They looked like they were attending their own funerals, with many of the players having gloomy expressions on their faces and young Alberto weeping on the sidelines, disappointed that his goal did not help his team win the title.
Jose Mourinho also walked into the pitch, and the young coach, who still maintained a grim expression, walked up and pulled up each player who was lying or sitting on the pitch, then hugged them, patted them on the back and whispered unknown words in his ear.
It must be encouraging.
As the award ceremony was about to begin, the Ajax players lined up on either side of the road to the podium, smiling and applauding with a slightly stern expression.
Applause for the runners-up.
Just as the fans in the stands were divided against each other, Ajax and Porto were also in a-for-tat confrontation with each other in the stadium because of their football style, philosophy, technique and tactics.
There may have been a lot of conflict in the arena, but after the game, all of them will disappear.
Everyone is just their own master, and they have different ideas on the road to pursuing the highest honor, and they can't do what the media says when they hype up the topic: form a deep hatred!
Besides, it was not easy for Ajax to win, and after such an uphill battle, the Ajax players would applaud their opponents from the bottom of their hearts, even if they were in the opposite position, if they were to walk on the podium as runners-up, sorry, they didn't miss the applause of their opponents at all, they just wanted the trophy within reach!
As the Porto players lined up on the podium to receive their runners-up medals, the Ajax players looked at each other and smiled with excitement and pride.
It's our turn!
After Coman stepped on the podium first, the Ajax players followed closely with their heads held high, step by step towards the podium!
They know very well in their hearts that every step they take is to reach the top of Europe!
Football is the world's number one sport that touches the heartstrings of countless people around the world, and this is not a competitive sport where the strong must win, but the winner is strong!
Yesterday's strong may not continue to be strong until tomorrow, today's weaker may be tomorrow's slaughter, no one predicts what kind of story will happen in the football world, what kind of legend will be left behind.
The 2003-2004 generation of Ajax Youth Army replicated the glory of the 1994-1995 generation of Ajax Youth Army!
There may be many fans who think that today's new generation of Ajax is not worth enough gold, and this is an unprecedented dark horse season in the Champions League season.
Similarly, Ajax, who rose to the top of Europe nine years ago, defeated the world-famous Milan dynasty!
No matter what outsiders say, the Ajax players are proud and have left a fabulous memory in the hearts of the fans who love them!
In the summer of 2004, Ajax returned to the top of Europe after nine years and lifted the trophy with the permanent collection of the Champions League winners!
Qin Xiong, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Ibrahimovic, De Jong, Maxwell, Heitinga
This group of representative players has also become the first youth army to go down in history and shock the world in the 21st century! (To be continued......)
