Chapter 879 With the champion, is the rich family still far away?

Although there are still more than ten minutes left in the final, everyone knows that there is no suspense in this game.

After Rong Guang left the field, Manchester United did not launch any decent offensive, and Manchester City did not bear too much pressure on defense.

Time passed by, and it was not until a few minutes left in the game that Manchester United suddenly woke up like a dream and launched a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.It was as if he was unwilling to be shaved bald by his rival in the same city in this final...

But they failed to score until the end of the game.

When Cristiano Ronaldo turned around from more than 30 meters from the goal and fired a ridiculously high long-range shot, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! The game is over! Manchester City won the FA Cup in the 2008-2009 season! They made it all the way to the final when they were not favored by others, and beat Manchester United 3-0 in the final! It's amazing!"

The first whistle that symbolized the end of the game sounded, and it was drowned out by the huge cheers at the scene. The commentator John Mortensen also had to raise his voice hard to avoid his voice being drowned out.

The cheers erupting from the Manchester City fans really surprised many people.

If it weren't for the good security at the scene, it is estimated that these over-excited Manchester City fans would rush straight to the pitch to pick off the players' pants...

Manchester City's players also ran and hugged after the game.

In stark contrast to them are the Manchester United players. They lowered their heads, like scarecrows, stunned and motionless on the court.

The Triple Crown was originally promised, but now there is only one league champion left...

Lost the Champions League, lost to Barcelona, ​​anyway, Barcelona is still quite strong, a European giant.

But what is the FA Cup loss to Manchester City...

When will the mortal enemy in the same city, who has been suppressed by them, stand up and become the master?
These Manchester United players stared blankly at the Manchester City players who were celebrating the victory. This is not the first time that such a scene has appeared in front of their eyes. Just a few weeks ago, in the No.30 sixth round of the league, at Old Trafford, they have also seen a scene similar to this.

If you lose to Manchester City once, you can still say it was bad luck.So what about losing to Manchester City twice in a row in a short period of time?
Perhaps from this moment on, they have to re-examine this sworn enemy with whom they have been entangled for many years...

Although he lost such an important final, Ferguson still stepped forward to shake Benitez's hand very gracefully, congratulating him on his achievements in Manchester City.

And Benitez also praised Manchester United's performance while being modest.

Then the two head coaches separated and went to find their own players.

Ferguson was going to comfort United's players, who suffered two blows in four days, while Benitez couldn't wait to celebrate the title with his players.

He only came to this team in the middle of the season. At that time, Manchester City was on the verge of relegation. The situation couldn't be worse. Some people even thought that Benitez's choice of Manchester City was a wrong decision.

But only half a season later, Manchester City not only won the fourth place in the league and qualified to participate in the Champions League next season, but also defeated the rival Manchester United in the FA Cup final, winning the championship trophy with the longest history.

Benitez even wondered, if he was allowed to coach this team from before the start of the season... Will Manchester City win the league in the end?
This idea emerged in Benitez's mind, which immediately made Benitez a little excited-he has been in the Premier League for so many years, but he has never won the championship of this league, which is known as the most competitive league in Europe.

When he was at Liverpool, the league championship was one of his important goals, but he never succeeded.

The Liverpool club is also very persistent in the league championship, and his best result is only the runner-up.

When he coached Manchester City, he just used Manchester City as a springboard.

But now he suddenly wants to realize the dream he has never seen in Manchester City.

But if you want Manchester City to win the league championship... there must be one person who cannot get around.

Benitez walked onto the court and hugged Rong Guang.

Hugging with Rong Guang hard, Rong Guang smiled happily.

If you want to win the league championship, you must play the role of glory well.

Manchester City can complete such an amazing reversal this season, the most important thing is glory.

Without Rongguang's outstanding performance, no matter whether it is the fourth place in the league or the FA Cup championship, it is absolutely impossible.

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo stood with his hands on his hips, staring blankly at Rong Guang being held in his arms.

His eye sockets were a little red, as if he had just cried.

In fact, he didn't cry, but he was not far from crying.

He suffered two consecutive blows in four days, first losing to Messi in the Champions League final, and then losing to Rongguang in the FA Cup final.

He couldn't bear it.

Ferguson came up and hugged him, but he didn't respond.

"Don't be sad, Chris. We'll make a comeback..." Ferguson whispered in his ear, reassuringly.

But Cristiano Ronaldo remains the same.

In his heart, a decision has been made.

He will definitely not stay at Manchester United, no matter how much money, even if Nike is Manchester United's sponsor, Real Madrid's sponsor is Adidas, and he is Nike sponsored...he will not stay at Manchester United.

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't even look good on his face as he accepted the award.

He hasn't gotten over the emotion of failure yet.

He didn't even let the silver medal hang around his neck, he took it with his hand, just held it in his hand.Then he bowed his head and walked off the rostrum.

After the runner-up awards were over, it was the champion's turn to present the awards.

The atmosphere at the scene became warm.

None of the Manchester City fans could continue to sit in their seats, they stood in the stands, clapped and sang.

They focused on both sides of the steps of the upper podium, reaching out to pat or caress each Manchester City player as they walked up the steps from the pitch.

Whoever gets touched the most is the most popular.

So when Rong Guang walked up the steps, he was almost entangled by the "arm vines", and it was very difficult to take every step forward.

In order not to be hit in the face, Rong Guang had to walk forward with his head down.

Of course, the top of the head will be touched by more people.

Excited Manchester City fans will somewhat overdo it, so it still hurts to hit Rong Guang.

But Rong Guang didn't care, but let them slap him with his head down.

Then all the way up, and finally arrived at the podium to receive the award.

As the oldest football event in the world, the FA Cup is awarded by members of the British royal family.

This year's award presenter is the Queen Mother of England. With a smile on her face, she personally hung the gold medal symbolizing the highest honor of the FA Cup for Glory.

Rong Guang thanked the Queen of England politely, shook hands with her, and was about to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the queen did not let go of Rongguang's hand, but said to Rongguang: "This is really an amazing season, young man. You and your team are very amazing."

Rong Guang was a little surprised by the queen's praise, but he quickly realized it, smiled and nodded to the queen: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Come on." The queen patted the back of Rong Guang's hand lightly, and then let go.

Rong Guang thanked the queen again, turned and left.

The captain holding the trophy is always the climax of the awards ceremony.

Manchester City's captain is central defender Dunn.

He was the last person on stage to receive the award, and after the gold medal, the Queen handed over the FA Cup.

The moment he accepted the trophy, blue and white confetti spewed out from the ceiling of the new Wembley Stadium, flying all over the sky.

At the same time, Queen's famous song "We Are the Champions" also sounded.

Amid Freddie Mercury's high-pitched singing, Dunn lifted the silver trophy aloft.

His teammates clustered around him, reaching out to touch the cold glass wall, vying to leave their body temperature and fingerprints on it.

After Dunn raised the trophy, he handed it to Rong Guang next to him.

He is the second person in the team to lift the trophy alone.

No one competed with him, everyone just looked at him.

They all know that without glory, it is absolutely impossible for Manchester City to win the championship of this competition.

This season, Manchester City can finally achieve such a good result, all because of glory.

So it is right to let him enjoy this treatment.

Under everyone's gaze, Rong Guang took the trophy and held it high.

Others continued to cheer.

"Congratulations to Manchester City, congratulations to Rong! They encountered too many problems this season. They changed three head coaches in one season and were almost relegated... But fortunately, they still achieved a very good result in the end..." John Mortensen shouted. "For Rong, this season is also very special. This is his first season after eight months of serious injury! Before the start of this season, countless people thought that it was impossible for him to return to the top. But Rong has proved with his actual actions that he can not only return to the top, but can even do better than before the injury! In the Manchester City team, he is a well-deserved core, and Manchester City's achievements like this are basically due to Rong alone. He almost saved Manchester City by himself !"

"That's right, Rong's comeback performance this season is like a phoenix, bloody nirvana. With 33 goals in the league, this number of goals is also the highest in Europe, so Rong will definitely win the European Golden Boot this season. In addition, he also scored ten goals in the FA Cup, and he is also the top scorer in the FA Cup... Such a terrible performance makes people completely unbelievable that he suffered a very serious injury eight months ago..."

Alan Hansen sighed beside him.

"Manchester City still has a lot of problems this season, but it still can't cover up Rong's outstanding performance. Then next season, what kind of performance can Rong and Manchester City have in the Champions League? It's really exciting!"

In the voice of John Mortensen, the players of Manchester City surrounded the trophy and laughed very happily and brightly under the blue and white confetti flying all over the sky.

As Rong Guang said when he first joined the team.

"You want the champion? Then I will give you the champion!"

He's done it, bringing City an FA Cup.The champion of this competition, the last time Manchester City got involved was in the 1968-1969 season, which was exactly 40 years ago...

Coincidentally, the last time Manchester City won the top league in England was the 1967-1968 season.The last time they reached the Champions League was also in the 1968-1969 season.

Those years happened to be Manchester City's last peak period.

And 40 years later, the glory came. Manchester City regained the FA Cup and re-entered the Champions League.

Is this a sign of something?

He has already done the first half of what he said.

What about the second half of the sentence?

"If Manchester City is not considered a wealthy family, then start becoming a wealthy family today!"

It's really loud, like thunder...
