Chapter 564: No one sleeps in London tonight
Chapter 564: No one sleeps in London tonight
So no one thinks Arsenal will go to the end, especially when they face Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Real Madrid in the knockout rounds.
Everyone thought Arsenal should be focusing on the league, after all, they had a good advantage at the top of the table at that time, and they were the favourites in the FA Cup.
Even some local media in England also gave Arsenal advice, they believe that Arsenal should not be so "ambitious", should be "down-to-earth" in order to sum up the embarrassment of nine years without a championship, and win the FA Cup with all their hearts!
Now, however, Arsenal fans have given these media a resounding slap in the face!
"Shit, who the fuck said we couldn't win the Champions League?? Who the fuck said that our goal was only for domestic mini-cups like the League Cup and FA Cup? Take a good look, now we are double champions!! We are FA Cup winners and great Europa League winners!! ”
Arsenal fans are in for a good breath now!
The live DJ was also very interesting, and after he heard the Arsenal fans singing, he also replaced Queen's "We Are the Champions" with this republican era "Sing Loudly in Your Dreams"!
The celebration of Arsenal at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal, did not take much time, after all, it was not their home. An hour after the awards, the entire Arsenal squad flew back to London on a special plane.
The plane is provided by Emirates Airlines, one of Arsenal's sponsors, and the exterior of the aircraft is Arsenal's red and white theme color, in addition to the English name of Arsenal, there is also a large Arsenal cannon team emblem, which can be described as well-designed.
The Arsenal plane arrived at London Heathrow at 8pm, just after night fell in London and the nightlife began. Because the match time of today's final is different from before, in order to take care of the huge Chinese fan base in the distance, UEFA set the game time at two o'clock in the afternoon local time in Lisbon, Portugal, which is about ten o'clock in the evening of Chinese mainland time, and the time difference between London and Lisbon is about the same, so Arsenal arrived in London when it was not late at night.
Arsenal fans and reporters from all walks of life who came to greet him blocked the entire Heathrow stadium for several games, and the Metropolitan Police had to send more police to maintain law and order!
"According to the news, Arsenal, who have just won the UEFA Champions League, will return to London on a special plane tonight to celebrate the first St. Bride Cup in the club's history and the greatest trophy in the club's competition!!"
"Heathrow International Airport is now filled with fans who have come to greet the whole Arsenal team, and the local police department in London has deployed thousands of police to maintain law and order. According to visual inspection, there may have been more than 20,000 fans at the scene. At the same time, Arsenal's official website and the London government website also issued a statement hoping that the fans who were still on the way to the next few games would be diverted to London City Square to ease the congestion at Heathrow International Airport, and Arsenal would take St. Bride to where to celebrate with the fans. Let's now talk to other travellers at Heathrow. In the camera, a blonde beauty hands the microphone to a young couple and asks, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
The young couple apparently didn't know what was going on, and one of the men said: "Yes, I don't know what the situation is, I thought it was an international superstar, but I just heard from the security guards that it seems that some team won the championship and their fans came to the airport to pick them up"
"What do you think about that?" The beautiful reporter asked.
"It's crazy, I've never seen such crazy fans, and I can see that this team must be very popular" Obviously the young man is not a fan, at least not a football fan.
The beautiful reporter found a different group of fans in the Arsenal fan base, they are Asians with obvious black hair and yellow skin.
The beautiful reporter handed the microphone to a female fan from Asia: "Hello, are you an Arsenal fan?" Are you from China? ”
The female fan looked very excited: "Yes, I am a Chinese student from London who came to London, we are fans of Li Zihan, and his watch is at the best level."
"Yes, Lee's cousin is there for all to see, he is the pride of Arsenal! So, you're all international students in London? The reporter asked.
"No, not exactly, some of us are from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle," the female fan excitedly introduced her fans and friends to the camera.
"Lee's cousin at Arsenal has attracted the attention of many local students and overseas Chinese in London and England, and I think from today onwards, at least half of London is the most welcoming to Chinese!" The above is a live report sent back by British Radio and Television reporter Lisa at Heathrow International in London! ”
"Although the full Arsenal flight has not yet reached London, the City Hall Square in London is now overcrowded!! Arsenal fans were waiting for their heroes to return with signs of welcome on their heads, and this season Arsenal's watch has undoubtedly given their supporters quite a surprise. Here's a live report from BBC's John in Trafalgar Square, London! ”
Freeze the picture and return to the studio.
Mortensen and Alan Hansen, who had just returned to the BBC headquarters studio from Lisbon, were spotted on camera, and sitting next to them was the English football legend Lineker.
'Tonight I think half of London will be in a sleepless night, this is the first Champions League title in Arsenal's history, I think they will be celebrating!' Mortenson said.
"No, you're wrong John! The whole city of London will be sleepless tonight!! Part of it is the celebration of the Arsenal fans, and the other part is the fans of the Chelsea and Tottenham London teams who can't sleep because they are noisy by the Arsenal fans! Lineker said.
"Hahaha"
The BBC has won the exclusive rights to broadcast Arsenal's celebrations of the title, for which they have spent £1 million, which will be broadcast live by the BBC. Some of the BBC's partners can also broadcast their footage, such as online media such as CCTV Sports, Sina Sports, Tencent Sports and PPTV in China.
When Arsenal's plane arrived at London Heathrow, tonight's big party officially began.
Li Zihan and his teammates walked out of the passage talking and laughing, but they were frightened by the sudden scene!
It was full of fans, and they were going to fill the entire reception hall.
Seeing the Arsenal players coming out, all kinds of screams and cheers completely exploded, especially when Li Zihan appeared, the decibel of the sound reached the highest level.
"Don't be afraid, they're our fans, they're here to welcome us home!" Veteran Flamini patted Li Zihan on the shoulder and said.
Li Zihan and his teammates made their way through the crowd, and the fans did not make any drastic moves, just kept shouting the names of the players they were supporting and singing Arsenal songs.
Li Zihan walked through the aisle and his teammates to meet the fans' requests, such as autographs and group photos.
Li Zihan has two fans who are most impressed, one of them is a big man, he tattooed a Champions League trophy St. Bride on his chest, and then tattooed Arsenal's name on the top of the trophy, and today's date tattooed on the bottom, obviously he wants to engrave this special day firmly in his heart. Li Zihan fulfilled his request and signed his name on the "Big Ear Cup" on his chest.
After signing the name, Li Zihan couldn't help but think: "In the future, this fan won't stop taking a bath."
The marker used for the signature is oily, and although the font can be stored for a long time, if it is written on the body every day, it will disappear in a short time.
There is also a beautiful fan, she directly lifted the direct T-shirt to reveal her smooth lower abdomen and upper body, and asked Li Zihan to sign her name on her bra
Well, Li Zihan admits that the feeling of being soft is not easy to sign
I just don't know if this scene was filmed by the camera, and whether I will kneel on the washboard when I go home tonight
The Arsenal players didn't stay long at Heathrow Airport and soon they were on a special bus to Trafalgar Square, London's City Hall Square!
The bus is a two-pronged bus for sightseeing, and the top floor is open-air and unroofed.
The red bus drove from the airport to the city centre at high speed, while a large number of Arsenal fans drove closely behind the bus.
BBC makes use of helicopters in the air. I filmed this scene, and it was spectacular!
After the bus arrived at the City Hall Square, the Arsenal players stood in the bleachers on the second floor. Captains Vermaelen and Lee Zihan lifted the Champions League trophy, while vice-captains Mikel Arteta and Mesut Ozil lifted the FA Cup.
"Let's welcome the double - Arsenal!!" The host at the scene stood on the bus and shouted loudly.
Immediately, the atmosphere of the scene fell into the climax, the fans kept shouting Arsenal's name, and then sang Queen's "We Are the Champions"!
The Arsenal players handed out two trophies one by one, and every time the trophy reached a player's hand, the fans shouted the player's name in unison!
Finally, when the trophy came to manager Arsene Wenger, the fans shouted in unison: "Thank you, Arsene Wenger!!!" ”
