Episode [242]: Sadness and Joy Are Intertwined
"Viewers and fans, the 2006-2007 English FA Cup is over. Leeds United defeated Chelsea 3-1 and won the FA Cup this season. Let us congratulate Leeds United!" Mark Lawrenson roared excitedly.
The Leeds United fans immediately cheered excitedly, shouted frantically, and roared loudly, pushing the emotions of the entire scene to a climax.
"Leeds United this season is actually not easy. It can be clearly seen from the last round of the league against Manchester United. And at the beginning of the league, Leeds United was in a very bad state. It was really a torment for them at that time, but they endured the pressure, gritted their teeth and came over, and finally achieved great success. Long live Leeds United, long live Madman Roja!" Eddie Gray was very excited, very excited, and full of emotions at the same time!
Leeds United this season is really very, very difficult, and Eddie Gray knows it as an outsider. Then the pressure and difficulties faced by Leeds United are definitely beyond what outsiders like them can imagine. Zhong Cheng has contributed a lot to Leeds United's achievements this season.
It was Zhong Cheng who brought Leeds United to the current successful position, long live Zhong Cheng!
Eddie Gray gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up at this time, and now he has completely accepted Zhong Cheng, and at the same time he admires Zhong Cheng very much. Zhong Cheng is the savior of Leeds United, only he can save Leeds United!
Long live Leeds United! Crazy Loya is my age!
"Now, what is going on in the stadium is the 2006-2007 FA Cup awards ceremony. Now the Chelsea team is the first to come out, and the FA officials will award them the runner-up award!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
The few remaining Chelsea people still clapped feebly, sending the applause to their home team.
Of course, the Chelsea fans at the scene were in a very bad mood and felt very painful. However, there is no way, who told them to be losers?
The faces of the Chelsea players are also very ugly, and they don't want to accept the award at all.
Moreover, the image of Chelsea players is also very embarrassing. Because they didn't take a bath or change their clothes at all, it was obvious that when they were in the locker room just now, the Chelsea people were in such a low mood, they probably stayed in there for more than ten or twenty minutes like wooden men, right?
The players of the Chelsea team stepped onto the stage quickly, and it could be seen that they were very anxious. What was anxious was not to receive the award, but to leave.
This is the sad place for the Chelsea people. They don't want to stay here for a while, and they don't want to watch their sworn enemy on the podium of the champion. It's a shame.
The Chelsea players almost didn't talk to the award presenters. They all went to the stage in a daze, and left after receiving the silver medal. There were even several Chelsea players who were unwilling to let the award presenters hang the silver medal around their necks.
The Chelsea fans at the scene were very painful, and many Chelsea fans left tears of humiliation.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho was the last to get on the podium, and his face was also very ugly.
When Jose Mourinho came on stage, Zhong Cheng happened to lead the Leeds United players out of the player tunnel. The players of the Leeds United team were uniformly wearing white cultural shirts. They looked full of momentum, which caused the Leeds United fans to scream.
"Wow, the players from Leeds United have come out. They are really well prepared. It can be seen that Roja was very confident in this game before the game. Today they really won. Beautiful, long live Roja!" Eddie Gray was very excited.
Jose Mourinho reached out to receive the medal and walked off the podium without paying attention to what the presenters were saying? It seemed a little impolite, and the mouth corners of the award-presenting guests twitched slightly. This damn Jose Mourinho really has a unique personality.
At this time, the Leeds United fans were very excited. They couldn't wait any longer. They jumped wildly and cheered passionately.
"Okay, now the runner-up has received the award, and the next thing is today's highlight. The next thing that will be presented is the 2006-2007 FA Cup champion award. Now that Leeds United have appeared in the stadium, let's congratulate Leeds United first!" Eddie Gray said excitedly.
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV cheered excitedly, Leeds United is the champion.
"Now we have the 2006-2007 FA Cup champion Leeds United on stage to receive the award!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
The Leeds United fans at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly became excited, their faces flushed, and many even shed tears directly. They were singing that song neatly at this time, that familiar team song:
'Let's go with Leeds
let's go help him
rise and sing for leeds united
they are the greatest in the world
every day we say
We love you - Liz! Leeds! Leeds!
we are everywhere
We love you - Liz! Leeds! Leeds!
Forge ahead
we will see you triumph
we are proud of you
we shout
We love you - Liz! Leeds! Leeds! 』
Amidst the singing, the players of Leeds United slowly climbed onto the podium. When every Leeds United player came to the stage to accept the award, the announcer at the scene would excitedly shout the player's name, which is to call the champion!
The first to go up is Albertini!
Albertini felt extremely lucky to have such a farewell ceremony. He just feels that he is a lucky one, and he is really happy to have such a perfect career.
Of course, Albertini still wants to thank Zhong Cheng.
If Zhong Cheng had not gone to Milan to persuade him, he would not have come to Leeds United, and he would not have such a brilliant late career. He really thanked Zhong Cheng very, very much, and thanked Zhong Cheng for his trust in him.
Countless Leeds United fans at the scene burst into tears after seeing Albertini receiving the award.
A generation of heroes will be far away from them in this way, and their hearts are very sad and painful. However, life is like this, when there is a meeting, there is a parting. Although the players of Leeds United were reluctant to give up, they still waved goodbye to Albertini!
"Albertini, a great player. Today is also the end of a great era. Albertini, the deciduous ball master, officially bid farewell to professional football. A generation of kings is gradually leaving me. From now on, we can only see his elegant figure from the video tape. Albertini, go! We will always remember you!" Eddie Gray said affectionately.
Albertini himself cried into tears, and this scene touched countless people.
Then Pique, Kompany, Evra and others came to the stage to accept the award one by one. The players of Leeds United were very excited, their faces were full of joy.
Then there were Zhong Zheng and others, and they all received their awards one by one.
Although Zhong Zheng has been the captain of Leeds United for most of the season, he is not today. Because the old captain Gary Kelly started and played the whole game, Gary Kelly was the captain. Therefore, Zhong Zheng was the third last to come to power.
Behind Zhong Zheng are Zhong Cheng and Gary Kelly. As the captain of the team, Gary Kelly is at the end. He will represent Leeds United to lift the 2006-2007 FA Cup championship trophy. This should also be the last time he lifts the championship trophy!
After Zhong Zheng walked over, Zhong Cheng walked over.
The FA official who presented the award gave Zhong Cheng a hug and said: "Loya, you are really a king coach. We have always seen you on this stage recently. But, it is very good, we will always support you. How about it, do you want to come to the England national team?"
Zhong Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he did not expect that the officials of the FA would extend an invitation to him on this occasion to support the England national team!
Zhong Cheng was really confused, he really didn't expect it.
Zhong Cheng immediately came back to his senses, and then said: "I'm sorry, I'm doing well in Leeds United now, and this is my team. We still have a long way to go, and I think it's unlikely that I will accept the England national team now!"
Officials of the FA have long expected all of this. Although they are a little disappointed, they are still acceptable. He gave Zhong Cheng a hug, and said, "Then I wish you good luck, congratulations on being the champions!"
After Zhong Cheng hugged the officials, he also left and came to the center of the podium.
The last one to come up is the main event, and everyone is staring at the stage.
The scene was full of excitement and sadness, because they also knew that their old captain, Gary Kelly, who only played for Leeds United, was about to retire after the game and was about to leave professional football. They were very sad.
Many fans in the stands shed tears. They sang emotionally and burst into tears...
Gary Kelly's eyes were also red, and he was also very reluctant, but there was no way, at this age, he had to make such a decision. People, there's always going to be a parting, sooner or later, it's time for him Gary Kelly to go.
Gary Kelly solemnly took over the FA Cup trophy from the FA officials. The Leeds United fans were very excited, and their emotions were about to reach their peak.
At this time, Gary Kelly came to the center of the podium holding the championship trophy, and all the Leeds United players surrounded him, preparing for crazy celebrations.
"The champions of the 2006-2007 FA Cup have been born, and they are Leeds United!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
As soon as the words fell, Gary Kelly excitedly raised the championship trophy high above his head. Suddenly, countless confetti poured down in the sky, and at the same time, endless fireworks rose around the podium, making the atmosphere extremely dreamy!
At the same time, the familiar song came from the loudspeaker at the scene, and the Leeds United fans also sang excitedly and neatly:
"I have fulfilled my duty time and time again
I live up to what I say every time without sin or mistake
we have to keep moving forward
my friends we will fight till the end
we are the champion
we are the champion
no reason to fail
because we are champions
