Chapter 609 New Myth
Bruno was surrounded by reporters at the first moment. He was the most dazzling star of the game. There was no doubt that he would be elected the best player of the game, and he might even win the most valuable player of this season's Champions League.
Of course, the European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer of the Year, which will be announced in the second half of the year, will most likely be awarded to him again after two years.
After leading his team to become the first true four-time champion or even seven-time champion in world football, neither Yosi, who won the La Liga championship and the La Liga Golden Boot, nor Ronaldo, who defended the Champions League Golden Boot, could match Bruno.
Whether it was team honors or personal honors, Bruno had an absolute advantage over Yosi and Ronaldo.
Of course, Yosi still had some chances to surpass Bruno, such as he led Argentina to win the World Cup, while Bruno and Ronaldo performed poorly in the World Cup.
As for Ronaldo, he basically missed out on the three consecutive European Golden Ball Awards and the World Footballer of the Year. After all, when he played for the Portuguese national team, it was difficult for him to surpass Bruno through his performance in the national team when his club honors were lagging behind.
………………
"Bruno! Look here!"
"Look here, look here, hey! Bruno!"
…
The photographers shouted for Bruno to look at their cameras, so Bruno turned his head this way and smiled that way.
Of course, the most common ones were various microphones, recorders and mobile phones.
"First of all, congratulations on winning the Champions League. Do you have anything special to say now?"
"I am very happy!" Bruno raised his arms and shouted. He was really excited. "I am very happy to win this championship!"
"This is not the first time you have won the Champions League. Why are you still so happy?" A reporter asked Bruno.
"This is indeed not the first time I have won the Champions League, but no one will complain about winning too many Champions League titles. This is the highest honor in a football player's career, at least in terms of club honors!" Bruno said seriously.
"Does it make you feel particularly good to beat Real Madrid?" asked the Spanish reporter.
"Yes, they are the strongest team in the world football today. I am very happy to beat them in such an important final. Such a championship is very important. No one will say that we won this championship just by luck!" Bruno replied, neither humble nor arrogant. He neither said that Real Madrid was invincible and that it was just a fluke to beat them, nor did he deliberately belittle their opponents and say that they were vulnerable.
"Is it a miracle to lead Manchester United to win the Champions League trophy?" the Spanish reporter asked again.
Bruno was a little upset when he heard this, but he still suppressed his temper and said: "No, this is not a miracle. This is a proof of our strength. Since I joined Manchester United, we have created many good results. These are not miracles, they are all our own efforts!"
The reporter from "AS" still couldn't accept the fact that his team lost to Manchester United. When asking questions, he was a little sour, as if he wanted to make things difficult for Bruno who was celebrating. He asked: "Although Real Madrid lost the final, their football is indeed eternal. Do you think so, Bruno?"
Such a question is definitely not friendly. The reporters around were stunned for a moment, especially the reporters from Manchester were even more annoyed.
But Bruno's answer was beyond everyone's expectations and made everyone laugh.
Bruno said: "Yes, Real Madrid's football is eternal, but the championship belongs to Manchester United!!"
The reporter from "The Guardian" next to him couldn't help but applaud when he answered this question.
How confident and proud!
This is a qualified Manchester United captain!
………………
The players of the loser Real Madrid quickly returned to the locker room. They will come out to receive the award in a while, which is the real torture for them.
Before the game, they thought they would win, but there would be some twists and turns in the game. The proud Real Madrid players now have to become the foil and cushioning role of the champion.
This is really an unacceptable situation for the proud Real Madrid players.
Since the reform of the Champions League, they have reached the Champions League final six times and won the championship six times. The last time they reached the final but did not win the championship was in 1981. They were defeated by an English team wearing red jerseys, the Red Army Liverpool.
In the past four years, Real Madrid has reached the Champions League final three times and won three times. But the current batch of Real Madrid players have never tasted the taste of standing on the runner-up podium.
"Real Madrid, the strongest team in the world football today, which was considered invincible, was defeated! Lost in the most crucial game that they should not have lost! The team that defeated them was a team with only ten players! This team from the Premier League created a miracle!" British commentator Andy Gray was still passionately summarizing the game.
"How did the miracle happen? Look at the performance of the entire Manchester United team in this game, especially their performance when they were one goal behind and one man short, I think you can know. Bruno's performance is just a microcosm. If only he performed well, Manchester United would never have been able to beat Real Madrid!"
"Congratulations to them! They broke the myth of Real Madrid as the king of the Champions League! They stopped Real Madrid from unifying the Champions League. They let everyone know that Real Madrid is not invincible! I think this is the biggest significance of this final for us."
"While breaking the myth of Real Madrid, they also created a great myth of their own! Throughout the 2017-2018 season, Manchester United remained unbeaten in all competitions!"
"Yes, unbeaten in all competitions throughout the season, not just the Premier League, not just the Champions League, but unbeaten in all competitions! In all 65 games, the Red Devils did not lose any one!"
"This is an unprecedented myth, and there may be no more to come!"
………………
The Manchester United players went crazy on the court for a while, and after accepting interviews from the media, they returned to the locker room. They needed to change into the championship commemorative T-shirts.
Manchester United Club was well prepared, taking into account the possibility of winning and not winning. If they win, they must celebrate.
Everyone was still very excited when they returned to the locker room. They even played around in the locker room with their butts naked.
Bruno was the last one to enter the locker room because he had to be interviewed by the media. As soon as he pushed the door open, he was doused with champagne!
"Welcome our hero!!!" Ibrahimovic stood on a stool with a bottle of champagne that had not been poured out, leading everyone to shout.
"Hero! Hero!!"
The other teammates stood in front of Bruno, raised their hands high, and leaned over to "prostrate".
More champagne was poured from Ibrahimovic's hands, and Bruno was embarrassed and could only raise his hands to block it.
But Bruno was not to be outdone. He quickly grabbed a bottle of champagne and sprayed it at his teammates.
The whole locker room was in chaos.
In the end, everyone finished the fun and shouted under Bruno's leadership: "Champions! Champions! We are champions! Champions! Champions! We are champions!!"
This scene was of course photographed by the media that swarmed in.
Some people even took wine and poured it on the photographers, asking them to participate and feel their happiness.
Finally, at the urging of the assistant coach, these crazy players went to the bathroom to quickly rinse off the champagne hanging on their bodies. Some of them didn't even take a shower, and just put on the commemorative T-shirt and went out.
………………
When Manchester United was still making a fuss in the locker room, the runner-up award ceremony had already begun.
Manchester United celebrated so wildly that they forgot the time. Real Madrid, who were waiting impatiently outside, took the lead in awarding the prize.
They walked up to the podium of the Kyiv Olympic Stadium one by one, shook hands with UEFA President Ceferin, and then took the silver medal from him.
Only a few people would bow their heads and let Ceferin hang the silver medal around their necks. More people took the silver medal from Ceferin and held it directly in their hands, looking frustrated and unwilling.
Of course, they had reason to be unwilling, because they lost to a Manchester United with ten players!
Is there anything more shameful?
Ceferin was also very sorry that his favorite Real Madrid did not win the championship.
When Zidane came up to receive the award, Ceferin pulled him aside and said a few words: "It's a pity that we didn't win. But you have done well enough, Zinedine."
Zidane shook his head and said helplessly: "We are not very lucky..."
He meant that he met Bruno, a perverted player who not only has the strength comparable to Ronaldo on the offensive end, but is also impeccable on the defensive end, with no weaknesses in all aspects.
But to others, his words were too annoying.
Having one more player than others and getting a penalty kick, this is not considered good luck, what is considered good luck?
Ceferin smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Try hard again next season, Zinedine. Your football is the trend!"
Zida knew in his heart whether he would still be the coach of Real Madrid next season was still unknown. After all, he led such a strong Real Madrid, but ended up with nothing. He ranked third in La Liga, 17 points behind his arch-rival Barcelona; he lost the Champions League with one more player. With Florentino's pickyness, he might be fired tomorrow.
However, for Ceferin's praise, he still forced a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ceferin."
But when he turned around and left, the smile on his face disappeared.
Just now, he was just forcing a smile, and he really couldn't smile at this time.
