Chapter 1023 Awarding

Rooney's goal basically shattered Stoke City's dream of winning the title.

Stoke City's players did not give up their offensive efforts. They were fighting for honor.

They laid down their iron barrels at the beginning and defended, being cowardly before fighting, which was very embarrassing. Now they want to pick up the lost face. Even if they can't win the championship, they still want to leave a reputation that is glorious even if they lose.

However, weak people are unable to control their own destiny. Stoke City hopes to retain a reputation of being glorious despite defeats, but how can Manchester United, who were stifled by them for 100 minutes, let them do so. Stoke City finally crawled out of the turtle shell. Of course they had to chase and fight hard to vent their anger.

In the 23rd minute of overtime, Manchester United stole the ball in the backcourt and Scholes made a long pass. After Gao Xiaodong and Giggs cooperated at the front of the penalty area, Giggs sent a through ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong rushed into the penalty area and responded to the ball. Berbatov and Berbatov pushed the ball with their right foot from the penalty area line. Sorensen struggled to save but failed to touch the ball. The ball flew into the net against the goal post.

3:0

Berbatov once again expanded the score.

After scoring the goal, Berbatov was very happy. He ignored Gao Xiaodong who assisted him and ran towards the stands with his arms raised.

The stands turned into a sea of ​​joy again, with Manchester United fans cheering for Berbatov and venting their excitement.

After Berbatov scored the third goal, the hearts of the Manchester United players were no longer on the court. They were all anxiously waiting for the end of the game to win the FA Cup championship trophy after seven years.

Seeing that Manchester United had slowed down their attack, Stoke City thought they could take advantage and get a goal back, so they continued to attack Manchester United's penalty area.

However, Stoke City's idea was still wrong. Even if Manchester United was absent-minded, Stoke City could not resist it.

Stoke City stormed around Manchester United's penalty area for almost three minutes, but was unable to form a good shooting opportunity under Manchester United's tight defense.

In the 20th minute of overtime, Manchester United once again got a chance to counterattack. Giggs passed the arc ball from the right to the far end. Rooney got the ball from the left and passed the arc ball with his right foot. The unmarked Berbatov was upside down in the penalty area. Jin Hook shot and the ball hit the goal post, missing the opportunity to score.

The ball bounced out and landed in front of Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot, but when he saw his opponent blocking the ball, Gao Xiaodong feinted a shot, moved the ball horizontally, and passed it right to Giggs.

Veteran Giggs smiled slightly when facing goalkeeper Sorensen blocking the near corner, and launched a curved ball from the arch of his foot towards the far corner of the goal.

Stoke goalkeeper Sorensen had blocked the near corner and was unable to do anything to the far corner. However, out of responsibility, Sorensen moved as quickly as possible and made a save.

So Sorensen was already very fast. Unfortunately, Giggs' curve ball was too tricky. Sorensen tried his best but failed to touch the ball.

4:0

Giggs added another icing on the cake for Manchester United in stoppage time.

Giggs will retire soon. He didn't expect to score in the FA Cup final at this time. He was very excited.

When he ran up to Gao Xiaodong, Giggs gave Gao Xiaodong a hug and said, "Thank you." Giggs was very touched.

Gao Xiaodong chuckled and said, "This is your good move, I have to pass it."

Giggs was very happy, "Well done. Being able to see me and pass the ball at that time is not something ordinary people can do."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Don't praise me, I get proud easily."

While the two were joking, Manchester United players also ran over and surrounded Giggs and Gao Xiaodong.

The game had lost any suspense and meaning at this point. Although Stoke City wanted to get one back and save some face, Manchester United not only did not give them a chance, but instead did it to them even harder.

After Giggs scored, 30 minutes of overtime had passed. The referee did not give Stoke City another chance to attack. He directly blew the whistle to end the game.

"Champions! We are champions! We are the great Red Devils!"

The scene was filled with excitement. All Manchester United fans stood up, applauded and shouted towards the stadium to celebrate Manchester United's first championship trophy this season.

The players took off their jerseys, waved them in their hands, responded to each other and celebrated the victory with the fans in the stands.

Ferguson, the coach, and the substitutes also walked to the court to celebrate. Ferguson received a warm welcome from the players. Under the hints of Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, the players lifted Ferguson up and threw him into the air.

The fans in the stands also joined in the fun, and they kept chanting Ferguson's name.

Manchester United's two young owners and club manager David Gill also came to the stands. They joined the celebrating crowd, applauding and chanting the names of the stars just like ordinary fans.

The opposite of the Manchester United people are the Stoke City people.

Although the strength is far from that of Manchester United, it is not that Stoke City people have not thought about winning. They caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United in the first 100 minutes. If Gao Xiaodong hadn't broken the deadlock, maybe Stoke City would have really Can do wonders like Birmingham.

Stoke City's players sat on the court in frustration, and Stoke City's fans were leaving the field. They were unwilling to give in, but they had no choice but to accept this result because their skills were inferior to others.

The on-site commentator comforted: "There are no losers in today's game. Although Stoke City conceded 4 goals, they can leave the stadium with their heads held high. They caused great trouble for Manchester United, so much so that many Manchester United players Fans once thought that Manchester United might fail, and that was enough. No one failed. Failure is not nothing. Stoke City at least gained confidence and praise. This will be a great spiritual wealth in the history of their club. I believe, As long as they continue to work hard, they will definitely get their own championship trophy.”

"...The great Manchester United still won! They are the real winners in life! They can compete for three championships this season, and they finally won the first championship without any danger. This gave them a good start. I hope Manchester United Win the next three games and win the Triple Crown again!”

While the players and fans were celebrating crazily, the podium had been set up. Under the leadership of the staff, the Manchester United players stood on both sides of the podium, waiting for runner-up Stoke City to come and receive the award.

After the Stoke City players received their silver medals, Manchester United players and coaches walked to the podium and began to receive awards from Prince William.

After the gold medal was awarded, Prince William and the FA Chairman took the championship trophy together and handed the trophy to Vidic, the captain on the field today.

Surrounded by the players, Vidic raised the trophy high while salutes were fired, the song "We are the Champions" sounded, golden confetti flew in the sky, and the entire stadium seemed to be shrouded in a holy rainbow.

Afterwards, the players also lifted the trophies one after another and celebrated the joy of winning the championship with the fans.

Originally, the club was preparing to hold a parade around the city, but because there would be competition for two other championship trophies next, Ferguson did not want to celebrate with great fanfare and affect the players' rest.

The Manchester United players also readily agreed, and everyone celebrated enthusiastically. Some people took out beer and champagne from the locker room, drenching their teammates and coaches, including head coach Ferguson.
