It was the first time in Chelsea's 100-year history that they have reached the final of the Champions League, even though they have won the European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup before.For example, the slogan "We have dominated Europe three times" was solemnly hung on the lintel of the training ground at Cobham.But it is clear to everyone that this is nothing more than the self-consolation of the weak.The Winners' Cup is to be ranked in the third tier below the Champions Cup and the League Cup, just like the Olympic champion is also the first in the world, but it is the same as the World Cup champion.However, this time was different.This year marks 2006, the 100th anniversary of the team's founding, and the first time that it has come so close to the true top of Europe.When the game was over and the players left the pitch, there were still many fans lingering at Stamford Bridge who did not want to leave, either chatting fiercely with their friends next to them, or sitting in the gradually thinning stands looking at the quiet pitch, reminiscing about today's fierce game, and wandering in their minds about their favorite players.It's such a mellow scene, it's always better to climb the top, and they've put in as much as Chelsea have done this year.Barcelona once stood like a mountain in front of Chelsea, the best player in the world, and it was so majestic and insurmountable.And the factors off the pitch have made people almost lose hope.Even if they have a boss with money ability, a charming manager, and an incredible Far Eastern foreign player.And now, they've really done it, Chelsea have really done it, Forever Blue, they've really done it.As for the opponent in the final, the team from East London?
Defeated!
Wang Ai was chatting eagerly with his teammates in the locker room, he didn't attend the post-match press conference today, the coach didn't take him, and he didn't want to go.He knew that if he went today, the conversation would revolve around him, which was not friendly to Terry, and although Terry was very captain-like in this regard, Wang Ai was not easy to overcome.Wang Ai, who didn't go to the bar, had a less close relationship with his teammates.Today's post-match press conference was very long, almost an hour and still haven't returned, Wang Ai was a little bored after taking a shower and changing clothes, so he pushed open the door of the locker room and left the noise of his teammates behind.Of course, Wang Ai is also excited about creating a new historical record, this new record is not deliberately pursued by Wang Ai, but after it is created, Wang Ai who is standing in the player's tunnel at this time is like a world away.He understands that he is once again standing at the top of Chinese football, and countless Chinese fans can't sleep peacefully in this Chinese morning, thinking about their figure over and over again, chanting their names.In the bar, in the dormitory, in the food stall, in the office tomorrow morning, in the factory, in the classroom, in the conference room, your name will be repeated countless times, accompanied by tomorrow morning's newspapers and news reports.Although he has never won the Chinese Footballer of the Year, Wang Ai, who has been elected Asian Footballer of the Year three times, is just 18 years old and stands at the entrance of the players' tunnel looking at the gradually quiet stands outside, and his heart is still fluctuating.Just after the game, he was invited to pick up Liu Jianhong's temporary interview on the side of the stadium, accepted the congratulations he sent on behalf of the Chinese fans, and also expressed his gratitude to the domestic fans for their hard work in watching the game in the middle of the night.Of course, he also said: "I hope my performance today can be worthy of everyone's hard work, I hope everyone can remember my performance today, and in the future, if I don't perform well, scold me lightly." ”Although I know that the love of the fans comes and goes quickly, but this feeling of being loved and loved is still intoxicating and fascinating, at this moment, Wang Ai can really understand why those retired superstars burst into tears, taste this taste, and say goodbye to it forever, I really have to make a lot of determination.At this time, Wang Ai was surrounded by happiness and "surrounded" by countless Chinese fans thousands of miles away, Wang Ai knew that he should be more calm, but he really couldn't be calm.Wang Ai knows that this excitement is actually a good phenomenon, showing that he is still a fan mentality, and he is still not bound by his high status.Only by keeping the same pulse with the fans at all times can we understand our responsibilities, better enjoy the joy of football, and always cherish what we have obtained with a cautious and grateful heart.Only in this way can we not be shocked and always maintain the attitude of forging ahead.Wang Ai, who couldn't calm down, lowered his head and pushed open the fence door of the player's tunnel, and walked back into the court.Unexpectedly, although an hour passed, there were still dozens of fans in the stands.They were just a little poke, with a lot of beer, drinks and popcorn, as if they were a group of friends and then talking enthusiastically.They didn't notice Wang Ai at first, because Wang Ai had already put on his coat and changed his sneakers.It wasn't until one of them accidentally looked up and let out an exclamation that they noticed that Wang Ai had "returned".By this time, the security guards had already evacuated, and there were only a few lights left in the stadium.The stadium is still bright, but the lights are no longer dazzling.Wang Ai was also awakened by the exclamation, so with one hand in his pocket and the other wave, these surprised guys cheered, ran down the stands together, turned over the billboard, and came to Wang Ai's side.There are old and young among the people, and they drink a lot or less, and they don't dare to speak much at first around Wang Ai.After all, Wang Ai never usually goes to bars, and they rarely get in touch with him privately, until one asks: Why haven't you gone back yet?
People just opened up the conversation."
Ah, the press conference is not over yet, I was bored and came out to stroll, why didn't you leave?""
We're too, oh, no, oh, we're, we're friends, and we're happy, so we didn't leave.Can you win the final?
Can you still score goals?
Can you really beat the all-time record?
”After an incoherent paragraph, they quickly returned to normalcy and asked the questions they were most concerned about."
It's hard to say, anything can happen on the football field, can it?
It's not like we have the FA Cup, they have played one less game than us and there's only one title to fight for, so the final has to be difficult. ”Wang Ai explained with a smile: "Of course, compared to AC Milan, Arsenal is our more 'favorite' opponent, there are difficulties, but we have a better chance of winning." ”Wang Ai was chatting, Drogba came out of the players' tunnel, the press conference was over, and everyone should go.After hurriedly signing autographs for dozens of surprise fans, Wang Ai simply asked them to leave the players' tunnel together.So, the bigger surprise came, their favorite Jose, Terry, Frank Lampard, Crespo, Duff......
They walked out of the locker room in turn and walked to the middle of their queue.()
