Chapter 904: Carnival

After Benitez attended the post-match press conference, the entire Liverpool squad left Athens overnight on a plane from Gillette and Hicks and returned to Liverpool to celebrate with the Liverpool fans who stayed behind.

Chen Yu was originally going to take his parents, grandparents back to Liverpool together, but Zhang Shubin thought that the four old people were so old that it was not appropriate to toss like this, so it was better to stay in Athens for one night, and the next day he took a few old people to visit Greece, and then returned to Liverpool.

Chen Yu felt that what Zhang Shubin said was reasonable, and his grandparents and parents did not want to go back with the Liverpool club players, and considering that Chen Yu did not have time to accompany them now, they all stayed in Greece.

On the plane, the Liverpool players did not forget to celebrate, everyone drank, sang and bragged together, and if it were not for the flight attendants' strict prohibition of dancing, the cabin might have turned into a disco.

Chen Yu became the idol of Gillette and Hicks's family, he was surrounded by Gillette and Hicks's family and asked questions, and was constantly asked to take photos and sign autographs, which made Chen Yu very uncomfortable, if it weren't for Benitez, Hicks and Gillette also accompanying Chen Yu to talk and laugh, Chen Yu really wanted to brush his sleeves and find a place to sleep for a while.

Later, Gillette saw that Chen Yu was already reluctantly coping, and knew that he was a little impatient, so Gillette immediately asked his children to step down, and he chatted with Hicks and Benitez with Chen Yu.

Of course, their topic is inseparable from today's game and Chen Yu's future plans.

Gillette complimented with a smile on his face: "To be honest, I didn't watch football much, and I didn't expect football to be so exciting, I was about to be fascinated." ”

Hicks smiled, "Chen, your shot is really good. The last blow made me directly, and it was really a ball. ”

Gillette laughed and said: "There is more than ten thousand gold, Chen Yu's goal directly brought us an income of nearly 10 million." Chen Yu is our lucky star, our killer and our patron saint, and I hope Chen can play in Liverpool until he retires. ”

Although Gillette seemed to be unintentional, but a shopping mall tycoon like him naturally wouldn't say a meaningless word, after listening to Gillette's words, Benitez immediately shifted his gaze to Chen Yu's face to see what he said.

Chen Yu only groaned and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Gillette has so much confidence in me, then give me a one-time ten-year contract." ”

"This ...... Hehe......" Gillette was choked by Chen Yu's words, and could only hehe, and no longer dared to mention the topic of Chen Yu's retirement in Liverpool.

When the whole Liverpool team returned to England, the Liverpool side that stayed behind had already arranged a grand welcome ceremony at the airport, and there were certainly no celebrities from all walks of life during this time period, but fans and reporters were absolutely indispensable, about six or seven thousand fans and hundreds of reporters were waiting on the tarmac of the airport.

As captain Steven Gerrard and his players walked down the ramp with the Big Ears Cup in their hands, the long-waiting fans erupted in loud cheers, reporters applauded, and some reporters and amateur photographers pressed the shutter of their cameras.

This is a glorious moment for Liverpool, and it is also an honour for the Liverpudlians, who have won the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time in their history, and are only three of the nine Champions League titles away from first-placed Real Madrid, and with a little luck, maybe they will have a chance to hit Real Madrid's record again.

"Chen!" "Chen Yu!"

After cheering Long Live Liverpool, the fans naturally called Chen Yu's name again.

It's a great honour for a player, because not even a superstar like Steven Gerrard at Liverpool doesn't get that applause.

When the fans warmly welcomed, all the Liverpool players stood behind the trophy and took a group photo, Chen Yu and Gerrard, one holding the trophy on one side, and the manager Benitez standing behind the trophy.

Just as the reporter pressed the shutter, Liverpool's midfielder Alonso suddenly noticed an unfamiliar face on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but scream.

At this time, the Liverpool players also realized that something was wrong, it turned out that there was a fan wearing a Liverpool shirt who didn't know when to stand in their team.

This is a group photo of Liverpool players, obviously not a single fan can participate, Liverpool's security guards persuaded this cunning fan away, and took a photo again, but just now a reporter has pressed the shutter, and the messy Liverpool fan also got his wish and took a photo with all the Liverpool players.

Perhaps inspired by the fan just now, there are a lot of fans below who have come to ask to take a photo with the players, which is obviously something that the Liverpool players can't agree to, but these bold fans are not for nothing, they all got the opportunity to take photos with Chen Yu, Gerrard, and the trophy.

After enjoying the cheers of the Liverpool fans at the airport, the entire Liverpool squad marched to Anfield Stadium in an open-top bus with their trophies in hand.

Originally, there were only about 5,000 people who met at the airport, but everywhere the bus went, there were many servants, and after the Liverpool bus traveled to Anfield, almost 50,000 people had gathered around the bus.

Crowds of fans, cheers, singing and applause poured in, and the whole of Liverpool entered a carnival atmosphere.

At Anfield, there are more fans waiting, many of them for more than a dozen hours.

When they saw the Liverpool players walk into Anfield, the Liverpool fans in the stands all stood up, and they shouted at the Liverpool players, venting their gratitude and happiness to the fullest.

The host at the scene shouted: "...... Our heroes are back, give them a round of applause, give them cheers, they are the heroes of Liverpool, they have brought Liverpool two Champions League trophies and a league trophy, they will always be remembered by history and they will always be remembered by us fans......

At this time, the song "We Are the Champions" sounded at the scene, and the Liverpool fans were once again agitated, and the applause and cheers that had been somewhat silent rose again.

Next, the players began to interact with the fans with trophies in the field, Bellamy, Crouch and others also sang with the fans, and the tragedy was that when they were singing, Reeser didn't know when he brought beer and champagne from the locker room, poured half a glass on each of their heads, and poured them into soup.

Champagne and beer were then poured on each other, and all the Liverpool players got involved, chasing the champagne around the pitch, and the whole stadium almost turned into a Songkran festival.

After celebrating in the stadium, the Liverpool players did not rest, they rode on floats and began the parade around the city.

The Ring Parade is a reserved part of the championship, and of course it will not be without, because Liverpool won the double this time and the record is in line with the 80s of the last century, so this celebration will last for three days.

Such a parade lasted until the early hours of the morning.

After the parade, the players went back to rest, and at noon the two owners, Gillette and Hicks, will celebrate the players at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool.

The players played a hard game and celebrated for so long, they were already exhausted and slept soundly when they went home, but the club was also well prepared for this, and the club's logistics staff called the players one by one, and if the phone couldn't get through, they went home in person.

Such an invitation was obviously too much trouble, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that all the players arrived.

Originally, everyone thought that this celebration banquet was just an internal banquet for Liverpool, but they didn't expect Gillette and Hicks to be so happy that they actually invited the mayor of Liverpool, celebrities from all walks of life in Liverpool, Liverpool's predecessors, and the original chairman.

Liverpool Mayor Roslam smiled and shook hands with the players and said: "You are the pride of English football and the pride of Liverpool. As a Liverpool fan, I'm proud of you! ”

The mayor was clearly very good at dealing with such occasions, shaking hands with each player and coach, and then giving a short but enthusiastic toast to liven up the atmosphere.

Chen Yu is not very good at socializing, but he must be the protagonist on such occasions, and many people come to toast him and express their admiration to him.

Although Chen Yu is used to hearing praise, but now he is praised by celebrities and giants Red Star, and being sought after by such a person, Chen Yu can't help but be a little complacent.

If Chen Yu kept calm, he would definitely not drink too much, and now that he was fainted by the compliments of others, Chen Yu couldn't control the amount of wine, and just after the third round of wine, he was drunk and fell under the table.

On such an occasion, drinking too much is not a scandal, before Chen Yu fell, two Liverpool players had fallen, the club's CEO Rick Barry quickly asked Chen Yu to be helped to the hotel to rest, and found a waiter to take care of Chen Yu, and told him not to wake up Chen Yu until the time of the evening parade.

The wine table is not a court, without Chen Yu, it is still very lively, and it is also a climax, and then even the head coach Benitez and Chairman Morse have drunk a little too much, but at this time there are few sober people, and in the end it can be said that they are happy.

The parade continued in the evening, and compared to the first day, the second day had more fans attending the parade, many of them from other parts of England, and even from abroad, according to statistics, the number of fans participating in the parade has reached 300,000, and the entire Liverpool city has almost become a red sky.
