The king of green grass lore

Chapter 94 Champion
Walter Smith sat blankly on the coach's bench, completely unable to see the pitiful eyes of the players.

You know, he brought in all the Rangers players today, including Barry Ferguson, who was sent to the hospital, and he brought them back after being forced away by his predecessor.

This shows that Smith's status in the minds of players.

The pillars are down, what can the players do?
After kicking off under a stern warning from the referee, Kular stopped in the corner with Will and Broadford standing behind to protect him.

This... If you want to grab the ball, you need to go around the sideline or outside the baseline, but Lin Xiu is too lazy to bother, and leads his teammates to watch the Wanderers perform like this.

The party lagging behind delays time, what is the party ahead anxious about?It happened that my leg hurt badly, so I just stood and waited for the champion to win.

Rangers fans saw their players so unpromising, and cursed one after another.

Fortunately, the irritable guy had been dragged away, and the rest did not act aggressively, but outside, a riot had already begun.

More than [-] Rangers fans smashed out the beer bottles in their hands, targeting everything in sight, even the police couldn't avoid it.

Throw away wine bottles, pick up rocks and sticks, break open fences, and find ways to get everything that can be used as a weapon.

Even more crazy fans took off their Rangers jerseys, and then took out their lighters to light them. The flags and posters in their hands were even better arson objects.

For a while, the stadium was full of smog and danger.

The Manchester police had already made preparations. All fire trucks and anti-riot vehicles were dispatched. Batons, tear gas, high-pressure water cannons, rubber bullets, everything that could be used was used.

But there are a lot of fans, and the police can't take care of them.

A group of homeless thugs saw a group of suspected Vojvodina fans not far away, holding half a beer bottle with red eyes, and some thugs even took out a dagger and rushed over to stab them.

Although the police rushed to catch the perpetrator, more than a dozen innocent passers-by had already fallen in a pool of blood.

It was indeed an innocent passer-by. The tickets for Vojvodina were not sold out at all. All those who came with the team were in the stadium, and there were no fans watching the game outside.

The police sent the attackers to the hospital and found that three were dead, five were seriously injured, and six were lucky with minor injuries.

The inside didn't know what was going on outside the court. When the time came to 10 minutes, the referee immediately blew the whistle to stop the game. The Rangers were so passive that it didn't matter whether they gave stoppage time or not.

Burzic rushed into the court with the substitute, lifted Lin Xiu together and threw them into the sky.

Ba Da~ There was water dripping on his head. Burzic touched it and saw that the water in his hand was red. Then he looked up and saw blood dripping from Lin Xiu's calf.

"Put it down, put it down." Burzic screamed: "Team doctor, team doctor, come here immediately."

Vukosaf ran over, cut open the socks, and found that the bandages were bleeding.

"The wound must have burst open, and we need to go to the hospital for further treatment," Vukosaf said.

"Okay..." Before Lin Xiu could finish speaking, the captain came out.

"Wait." Despotovich asked: "Lin, can you hold on till the end of the awards ceremony?"

"Yes, but it's not necessary." Lin Xiu said.

"It is necessary, wait a moment." Despotovich said: "Come on, get the championship shirt, we should change clothes."

Djuric and Kizito rushed out with a bottle of champagne each, and sprayed at everyone.

Everyone didn't care, grabbed the backpacks behind the two, took out the championship shirt and put it on the outside of the jersey.

After getting dressed, Despotovich took out a five-star red flag and put it on Lin Xiu.

Afterwards, everyone lined up hand in hand, revealing the words on the t-shirts. The front reads "China and Serbia are united to overcome the earthquake", and the back reads "China rises, Sichuan is strong". There are English and Serbian labels under the main Chinese characters.

The Vojvodina fans shouted in Chinese in unison: "China and Serbia are united, we will defeat the earthquake, China will rise, Sichuan will come on."

This... was caught off guard by being moved, Lin Xiu could only hug his teammates one by one to express his gratitude, and then bowed to the fans in the stands.

"You're welcome, you brought us the championship, and we can only give you some insignificant rewards," Despotovic said.

Burzic said: "Everyone has decided to donate all the championship prize money. The club will add an additional 100 million. I didn't discuss it with you in advance. I hope you don't mind."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary, everyone is not rich." Lin Xiu didn't know what to say, but this favor was too great.

100 million euros is indeed a lot, but there are so many people in the first team, everyone can't get much, and the non-main income is very little. For example, Zicic only earns more than 2000 dinars a month, so he expects this to be more than the bonus It's a good day.

"It's okay, we have studied it carefully, it will not affect our lives, and I'm sure everyone is voluntary." Burzic patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder.

It was settled like that, and everyone marched shoulder to shoulder around the stadium to show their support for the people of the earthquake.

The camera faithfully recorded this scene, which made Vojvodina attract countless fans in China.

Surrounding the stadium, the players finally showed their smiling faces, like Pantridge and Milutinovic, who were absent from the game, ran out, accompanied by the family members of the players.

For example, Djuric brought his four-year-old son and carried it on his shoulders.

The Rangers fans stopped making trouble, they have lost all their strength, and many girls fans cried.

The Rangers players bowed their heads on their hips, or sat on the turf, and there was no movement for a long time.

It wasn't until the awards ceremony that they forced their way to Platini.

The boss of UEFA personally distributes medals, why don't you try it?Especially today's game was extremely ugly, and the fans did good deeds. If the team refuses to accept the award again, they may be fined and bankrupt.

Platini was very unhappy. He had already received news from outside the stadium. When the silver medal was awarded, he kept a straight face and hastily stuffed the silver medal into the hands of the Rangers.

When it was the gold medal's turn, Platini smiled, holding the medal with both hands, and carefully hanging it around the player's neck.

Lin Xiu was left at the end. Platini hung the medal on him and said: "Congratulations, super show, historic performance, I hope you will still be as good next season."

"Thank you, I will work hard." Lin Xiu said.

Platini added: "UEFA expresses condolences to the victims of the earthquake and will donate [-] euros to help the victims rebuild their homes. I hope they will get out of the disaster as soon as possible and start their lives again."

"On behalf of the people in the disaster area, I would like to express my gratitude to you and UEFA. We will never forget your help." Lin Xiu said sincerely.

One hundred thousand euros is just a drop in the bucket compared to UEFA, but a dime is still money, and you have to get it if you deserve it.

"Now, enjoy the championship moment." Platini patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder, picked up the Bertoni Cup and handed it over.

"Thank you." Lin Xiu took the trophy, kissed it and held it up high, then handed it to Despotovich.

Everyone kissed, raised it, and handed it to teammates. Accompanied by the fireworks outside the field, it was extremely joyful.

PS1: In reality, after Rangers lost to Zenit in the UEFA Cup final in 07/08, its fans attacked the police and stabbed Zenit fans.

PS2: I was in college in Xi’an during the Wenchuan earthquake. I felt the shock clearly. I was terrified. At that time, I didn’t pay attention to donations. Now I checked, and I really didn’t find any donations from foreign clubs and players, and I didn’t find any donations from UEFA. Donations, Manchester City and Hong Kong Nanhua held a disaster relief match at that time, and raised 4 pounds.
