Four Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Defending the UEFA Cup Champion

The UEFA Cup in the o3-o4 season has come to an end. ? Hunting ? Text ? ??? ?????????

At the Nea Ulivi Stadium in Gothenburg, British champion Notts County defeated La Liga champion Valencia 2:1 to successfully defend their title and once again won the UEFA Cup trophy.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, all the players on the Notts County bench rushed into the field frantically, including the Notts County staff, and even Loew and David put down reserved.

Championships and honors are like drugs, which can be addictive. Even if Notts County has won the UEFA Cup trophy, no one will lift too many championship trophies, and they will still be excited.

Of course, this time David felt far less intense than when he won the championship last season, and he was not as crazy as when he won the British Championship, but in his heart, he still had infinite emotions.

The gold content of the UEFA Cup in this era is still very high, as can be seen from Liverpool and Newcastle fighting for a place in the UEFA Cup.

Notts County can win the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons. Winning the championship trophy is even more difficult.

If it was the Europa League that was later restructured, I'm afraid it wouldn't have such a high gold content. Sevilla even won three consecutive championships, and the media joked that the Europa League had been renamed the Sevilla Cup. Who cared at that time? !

UEFA staff were busy preparing for the award ceremony, while the Notts County players celebrated the championship with their teammates and their families.

Because there have been many times on the championship podium in the past few days, looking at the podium, the team members have long lost the feeling of the hillbilly process. On the contrary, they will be very indifferent.

David looked at the UEFA Cup trophy in a trance. He really couldn't remember which season the UEFA Cup was restructured, but Notts County has already won two UEFA Cup trophies, which can be regarded as a proud return.

Perhaps this is the final farewell, at least in David's view, this cup, which is far from being comparable to the Champions League in terms of influence, is about to drift away from Notts County.

Having won the English League Championship, Notts County will be eligible to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season. With David's construction of Notts County and the countless talents in Notts County's youth academy, I am afraid that every season from now on, England's There will be a place for Notts County in the list for the Champions League, so Notts County will definitely have no chance to go to the Europa League again.

certainly,

David also doesn't think the future Europa League has any appeal!

Soon, the award ceremony has been prepared, all UEFA bosses have taken their place, and the award ceremony is just beginning.

The winner of the medal is naturally the loser of the final Valencia. The loneliness of the Bat Legion is written on their faces. Even if the medal is added, there is no joy at all. Maybe it is replaced by a gold medal. Just be happy, but unfortunately, they lost in the final!

After watching Valencia accepting the award, the fans of the Bat Legion also began to exit the field for 6 consecutive years. The next highlight was Notts County accepting the award. They did not want to see the corpse stepping on their team to celebrate.

The song "We Are The Champions" was already remembered in the stands. Every time this song resounded through the stadium, it was the time when Notts County stood on the highest podium, and it was also the happiest time for the fans.

This is a kind of belief. Maybe from any point of view, whether the club wins the championship has no direct relationship with the fans, but for the fans, it is happier than the players, and the happiness in their hearts.

Players took to the stage to collect their medals one by one. The players who had won the UEFA Cup last season seemed calm, but for those players who only moved to Notts County this season, this medal is too important.

For example, Klose, although he is already the top center in the world, he has never been able to win the honor, let alone intercontinental competitions, he has not even had the chance to win the Bundesliga trophy!

In the one season he joined Notts County, he had already won the English League and the UEFA Cup double. This feeling really made him want to stop.

Abidal, Sagna and other new players are also too excited to be able to hold themselves back. The honor of winning the UEFA Cup may be impossible for most players to complete in their lifetimes, but they have achieved this kind of achievement early, even if they are not the most important part of the club. One member, but they also feel immensely proud.

Finally, when captain Alonso once again raised the UEFA Cup trophy surrounded by the players, countless streamers fell from the sky, and the atmosphere of the stadium reached a real climax.

Looking at the players kissing the trophy one by one, Loew and David stood side by side, smiled at each other, and had a tacit understanding.

"Seeing how happy the players are, the feeling of being a champion is really intoxicating!" David said with emotion.

Loew glanced at David with contempt, and complained: "It's like you are so calm, and I don't know who's eyes were that red just now!"

David is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. "Can't you maintain the minimum respect and courtesy to the club chairman? It seems that the salary increase needs to be slowed down!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, David himself laughed.

After a while, David said with longing in his eyes: "The stage of the UEFA Cup is too small. Next season, we can go to a higher place to see the scenery. Champions League champion, how about this title?"

Love also laughed, "It's really good, since you dare to think about it, we dare to accompany you to go crazy!"

Yeah, what a crazy goal this is!

At the press conference after the game, Benitez expressed great regret for losing the championship, but he also praised Notts County's performance. In his opinion, Notts County was by no means lucky to win. Ibaraki County is really a fate that Valencia cannot escape. Even in the face of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is far less stressful than when it played against Notts County.

Now that he won the game, Loew didn't try to provoke Valencia's nerves. After praising his opponent's performance, he didn't say anything more.

And in the very controversial penalty in the first half, Loew did not hold on to Collina's penalty.

"Although that penalty was very bad for Notts County, we respect Collina's penalty, he is the best referee in the world, he has his own judgment on the situation on the field, no matter what, we won the championship and the result That's the most important thing!" (To be continued.)
