Chapter 611 Goodbye, Ibrahimovic!

Manchester United fans came to greet the entire Manchester United team, not just by lining the streets and holding banners. The Manchester United club has already made preparations, and the double-decker parade float has also arrived. It has been waiting for a long time.

"Guys, let's change the championship float!" Mourinho clapped his hands and said.

"Better spirit, you are all European champions!"

Watching the Manchester United bus stop, reporters and welcoming fans on the scene swarmed in. The police responsible for maintaining order also acted quickly. There were too many people, and if there was a stampede, it would be a disaster.

The bus door opened.

The first one to get off the bus was the team's backup goalkeeper Romero. In his hand he held the UEFA Champions League trophy: the Big Ear Cup!

"It wasn't the captain who came out with the big ear cup?" Reporters and fans were surprised.

Then they saw that the players filed out of the car, and each one took the championship trophy from the hands of the teammates in front and held it high, causing huge cheers from the fans at the scene.

"This must be Mourinho's idea, he is very good at creating atmosphere." A reporter at the scene muttered.

"It's useful, isn't it? The players are very touched."

Ranked lower are Valencia, Carrick and Ibrahimovic, three players who are determined to leave the team at the end of the season.

When they raised the Big Ear Cup high, cheers resounded from the scene, and the fans applauded and cheered with thanks and blessings for these veterans.

Finally, Mourinho and team captain Bruno Fernandez appeared together. They took the Big Ear Cup from the hands of the team's second captain Valencia. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, were carrying the Big Ear Cup. , climbed onto the second level of the parade float, where other players and coaches were already waiting.

Standing on the second level of the parade float, Mourinho and Bruno raised the UEFA Champions League trophy high together.

A heat wave storm broke out on site!

The fans shouted and cheered excitedly, and the flash lights flashed.

"Dear viewers... we saw coach Mourinho and team captain Bruno lift the trophy together. Together they lifted the UEFA Champions League championship trophy!" Manchester United's return trip and championship celebration were broadcast live. BBC5 bought out the copyright for Manchester United's championship celebration. The BBC official did not disclose the copyright fee, but the media speculated that it would not be less than 10 million pounds.

The live TV broadcast gave a large close-up of the trophy in the hands of Mourinho and Bruno.

"Yes, this is the European Champions League trophy. Manchester United won it 10 years ago. Now, ten years later, Manchester United is once again standing in Europe. This is also the fourth time in the history of Manchester United that they have won the Champions League trophy. The ones who have won more championships than them are Real Madrid with 12 championships and AC Milan with 7 championships..."

The parade floats moved slowly, with fans and vehicles everywhere in front of, behind and around them.

Manchester United fans have "contracted" this stretch of road at this moment.

The Big Ear Cup rotates in the hands of the players. Everyone climbs to the second level, lifts it one by one, and enjoys the huge cheers of the fans.

The atmosphere was extremely warm.

When some players are tired, they go down to the first floor to rest. There are wine cabinets, bar counters, and sofas. They are entitled to these today.

Parade floats head towards Manchester City Hall.

Mourinho raised the championship trophy with Bruno for the second time, and the craziest cheers and applause once again broke out.

Mourinho made a pause gesture to indicate that he had something to say.

The originally extremely noisy scene gradually became quiet, and even the driving fans who had been honking their horns and celebrating happily also became quiet.

Mourinho took the microphone from Ashley Young.

"Hey! Guys!" Mourinho raised his voice, shouting as if commanding the game loudly from the sidelines, "Ten years ago, the team stood at the top of Europe. This is the glory that belongs to Manchester United and is engraved in the history of the game. Glory in the blood and soul of Manchester United!”

"That's right!" The fans at the scene cheered wildly.

"Coach Mourinho is delivering a live speech now, and the atmosphere is very warm..." the BBC5 host said into the microphone.

"Two years ago, I became the head coach of Manchester United. Do you know why I chose Manchester United?" Mourinho said loudly.

The scene was quiet.

"If I told you that I grew up a Manchester United fan," Mourinho said, "I would be lying to you."

"Hahaha." The fans at the scene burst into laughter.

"I had many options at the time, and I analyzed them repeatedly," Mourinho said. "In the end, I settled on Manchester United among the many options! Why?"

"Because I'm familiar with this team, I'm familiar with its history, I know it, and the more I get to know it, the more I find that I like it a little bit," Mourinho said loudly.

There were cheers.

"I said to myself, a club with such a long history, a great club, should not stay where it is now. It should return to where it should be, dominate the Premier League and reach the top of Europe."

Mourinho shouted: "Then I chose Manchester United! A great club with a long history that people have to fall in love with!"

"Yes, I fell in love with him. From the time I came to Manchester and from the time I chose Manchester United, I found that I fell in love with her more and more day by day. I was surprised and said to myself that my choice was completely correct, I love her! Manchester United!" Mourinho shouted.

"José!"

"José!"

"José!"

……

The fans were excited and shouting.

"What should we do if we love her? Take her back to where she should be, take her to appreciate the scenery that everyone is paying attention to, take her to be proud, and take her to the peak where the stars shine!"

"Two years!" Mourinho raised two fingers, "We won the Premier League treble last year, and this year, we dominated again. Ten years of waiting, two years, we did it, and ten years later, we are back! Manchester United's flag is flying, Manchester United's singing is loud! We tell the world that we are Manchester United, we are the king of Europe, we-"

He motioned Bruno to raise the big ear cup with him and shouted loudly, "We are back! Back to the peak of glory where we should be!"

The players and fans at the scene followed their head coach and screamed wildly to the sky.

Mourinho's words, this scene was transmitted to all places through live TV broadcasts. Manchester United fans in front of the TV were completely crazy, and Mourinho's fans were also jumping around excitedly.

So domineering!

So handsome!

Amidst the crazy shouts, the blonde female host at the scene almost screamed to ensure that her words were conveyed: "Coach Mourinho's wonderful speech ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and the fans were crazy. The Manchester United coach told them that the championship was just the beginning. They are back. Other European giants, have you seen it?"

Soon, the mounted police and police cars arranged by the local police in Manchester came to meet up, and the fans' vehicles following along were persuaded to leave. For safety reasons, fans are only allowed to gather on foot and follow Manchester United's parade floats.

After arriving at Manchester City Hall, the whole team was received and congratulated by senior officials such as the mayor and speaker of Manchester.

Afterwards, the entire Manchester United team appeared in the corridor of the City Hall and accepted the cheers of more than 100,000 fans gathered in the Municipal Square and even in the extended places.

It was at this time that Mourinho gave a speech again. He also announced that the team's former captains Valencia and Carrick, as well as the team's veteran Ibrahimovic, decided to retire and leave after the end of the season, that is, tomorrow.

The fans at the scene were stunned. This news was too sudden.

Carrick is fine. This season, he basically appears as the team's assistant coach. His retirement after the season is already decided.

Valencia also announced early that he would leave Manchester United after the season and return to his hometown of Ecuador to play football.

But there is really no sign of Ibrahimovic's retirement.

Although Ibrahimovic has only been at Manchester United for two years, the Swedish veteran has performed very well. Especially last season, he can be said to be the absolute core of Manchester United. Although the serious injury before the end of last season had a huge impact on Ibrahimovic; especially the joining of Harry Kane last summer, Ibrahimovic became a substitute for Manchester United, but in the limited playing time, Ibrahimovic still had an outstanding performance and made important contributions to the team.

And because he is Mourinho's direct line, with Mourinho's excellent performance in coaching Manchester United, the fans are very supportive of Mourinho, and they are more satisfied with Ibrahimovic.

Of course, Ibrahimovic's performance is also worthy of the fans' love.

Especially yesterday, Ibrahimovic scored the winning goal after coming off the bench, helping Manchester United win the championship. This will be a goal that will go down in Manchester United's history, and fans' love for Ibrahimovic has also reached a new level.

At this moment, Mourinho informed everyone that Ibrahimovic decided to retire, and the fans were a little bit unable to accept it.

Mourinho then gave a speech, praising his proud players and reviewing Ibrahimovic's contribution to Manchester United. He even took every goal, every assist, and every wonderful performance of Ibrahimovic at hand, which shocked everyone and made the fans at the scene more excited, filled with love and reluctance for Ibrahimovic.

"Zlatan told me that he was able to make his own insignificant contribution to the team and to stand at the top of Europe. He was very satisfied. He wanted to rest and spend more time with his family." Mourinho said.

He looked at the crowd of fans and raised his voice and said, "I am reluctant, but I understand his choice. I thank him for his contribution to Manchester United and I wish him all the best in the future."

Speaking of this, Mourinho turned his head and looked at Ibrahimovic and said, "Zlatan, it is my honor to work with you."

Ibrahimovic looked at Mourinho, and the Swedish veteran's eyes were red.

"It is my greatest pride and honor to play under you! It is my greatest honor!"
