Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Four rounds of penalties, eight shots, but only three goals scored, and both goalkeepers saved two penalties in a row, it has to be said that in this penalty shootout, whether it is Edouard. Mendy, or Oblak, has adjusted their form to a peak.

However, after the penalty shootout, there can only be one winner on the green field, and only one can stand on the podium and lift the championship trophy in the end.

"It's so exciting, it's too nervous, it's the fiercest penalty shoot-out I've seen in years, the last time I've seen a goalkeeper so brave in a penalty shootout seems to have been in Brazil four years ago, let's see who was the last penalty taker at FC United? Is it Matuidi? Saint-Maximin? Or Madison? Let's see if he will finish this final. The

commentator at the scene guessed passionately, and soon Maddison arrived in the box after high-fives with all his teammates, and first gave Edward a high fived before walking up to the referee to receive the ball.

Placed the ball on the penalty spot, turned it around slightly, did not let the ball roll casually, stood up without much hesitation, stepped back to the left, two, three ...

Every step he took, Madison remembered what he and FC United had experienced in the past three years, coming off the bench in the 14-15 season against FC United in League One Coventry, and although he lost the game, Maddison assisted teammate Miller to score a goal before the end of the game, and the young Chinese manager found him after the game, hoping to join the Red Rebels promoted to the Championship after the season.

In the 15-16 season, in the 9th round of the Championship, he scored his first goal for FC United against Wolves.

In the second leg of the Premier League promotion play-off semi-final against Derbyshire, it was his long-range shot that opened the scoring for the team, which was just a stone's throw away from the Premier League, and then an accident that went down in the history of the Red Rebels left the team with only one more year in the Championship.

In the 16-17 season, Madison won the Player of the Month for the first time, rising all the way as the team's main player, winning the Championship by a huge margin, and also defeating the mighty Manchester United in the League Cup final.

This season, there were some ups and downs at the beginning, but Maddison has always been the most consistent player in the Red Rebels, Lu Wei also handed over the identity of the third captain to him, and Maddison also repaid the trust of the manager with goals and assists, and Lu Wei once said to him when the league was in full swing.

"You're not a genius, but you're a football superstar, and when people bring up the history of the Red Rebel saga in the future, your name will surely come to their lips."

Thinking of this, Madison ran to the ball very firmly and pushed the ball towards the bottom right corner of the goal with his right foot!

Oblak was ready to lunge to the left, but when he leaned to the left, he found that the ball flew over his right side.

"It's over."

That was Oblak's last thought before he fell to the ground.

“Goooooooooooal！ James. Madison! Nice penalty! Three to one! 4-2 on aggregate, FC United won on penalties! FC United became champions of the Europa League in 17-18! They are the first team to win the Europa League for the first time since the restructuring of the Europa League and surprisingly this season is their first promotion to the top flight and they were an amateur team seven years ago, congratulations to FC United, they are champions! The

FC United players standing in the center circle immediately rushed to Madison and celebrated excitedly, while Edward United at the goal. Mendy gave Madison a bear hug directly.

"You're a hero, James, you're so TM! Aha!

"You're the hero, Edward, and we can't win this game without you."

Before the two finished praising each other, they were thrown to the ground by a group of big men in red jerseys, everyone was laughing and making trouble, and at this moment, nothing could affect their joy of winning the championship.

Captain Robertson sat directly on the ground the moment he saw the ball score, raised his arms to cheer the victory, and then lay directly on the lawn, looking up at the sky, the laughter of his teammates in his ears, and he also smiled, until a figure appeared on his head and stretched out a big hand.

Robertson took that hand, stood up hard, and gave the person in front of him a big hug.

"Thank you, Head, we are champions."

Lu Wei listened to the Red Rebel Army Commander choked a little, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Yes, we are champions, we are Europa League winners!"

All the Red Rebel players and staff joined in the frenzied celebration, along with McKim in a substitute vest, Baird in a suit, and David with slightly gray hair. Chadwick, even the old chairman Andy . Walsh also didn't know when he would show up in the celebratory crowd.

Soon, Lu Wei beckoned the players back to the dressing room and changed into the commemorative shirt that had been prepared for the victory, the red clothes were trimmed with gold at the cuffs, the front was the pattern of the Europa League winner's trophy, and the big "1" was engraved in the center of the trophy, which meant that this was FC United's first Europa League title.

Every FC United player wore this outfit, they also pointed to the trophy pattern on each other and joked, in addition to the players, all the first-team coaches, team doctors, including some scouts and logistics staff who came to the scene, also wore championship commemorative shirts to share the joy of winning the championship.

Not long after, under the reminder of UEFA staff, Lu Wei walked back to the stadium with the players, and the award ceremony was immediately on.

FC United's players stood in two columns to welcome Europa League runner-up Atletico Madrid to the stage to receive the award, and the players of Atletico walked onto the podium one by one, took the runner-up medal and left in a hurry, and the young Gimenez even cried and put on the runner-up medal.

After receiving the medal, Simeone took it off with a straight face and walked straight out of the court. It's no wonder that he has an ugly face, reaching the final of European competition three times in five years, but losing them all, and the name "Sanya" must soon fly from the Netherlands to Madrid, landing in the middle of the Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid.

FC United's players are not here to watch him now, standing impatiently in front of the podium, waiting for the start of the championship ceremony.

Soon, Lu Wei was the first to take the podium and put on the championship medal issued by Alexander Ceferin, then assistant coaches Steele and Beatty, Maddison, who scored the winning penalty, was the first FC United player to receive the award, then Giroud, Tavernir, Edward...

Captain Robertson walked last, and when he also wore the gold medal, the highlight came, Robertson took the silver championship trophy from Ceferin, walked to the center of the players, took a deep breath, and lifted the trophy high!

At the same time, behind him, all the Red Rebel players, including the coaches, raised their arms, accompanied by fireworks and flames, and cheered loudly!

The cheers of tens of thousands of Red Rebel fans at the same time enveloped the entire Olympic Park Stadium, and in the distant Manchester, the entire Newton Heath also resounded with huge cheers!

"We are champions! We are champions! We are Europa League winners! "
