Red Rebels

834 New Era

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, when the reveling Red Rebel players poured into the stadium, when the Red Rebel fans wearing red jerseys in the stands stood up crazily, proud of their support When the team was cheering and cheering, Van Gaal lowered his proud head with a sad look on his face.

He was completely defeated.

In the 58th minute, Kaka got rid of Yaya Toure at the front of the penalty area and cleverly assisted Aguero. The latter sent the ball directly into the goal guarded by Buffon without stopping.

But neither before nor after this goal, Manchester City showed no hope of reversing the game. The players' fighting spirit on the field had been defeated, and they even became unable to defend. So positive.

Van Gaal can understand the mood of the players, the mood of knowing that they will lose the game. I ask, who is still willing to fight in this situation? Are you still willing to continue to strive for the expected goal that is unlikely to be achieved?

This is not so much a defeat for Manchester City as it is a defeat for Van Gaal

Losing to Mourinho again, Van Gaal was convinced of the loss this time, because this game was a near miss for the Red Rebels. The entire game was completely under the control of the Red Rebels. , Manchester City never dominated this game from beginning to end. They just let the Red Rebels lead the way.

In the past few years of coaching Manchester City, Van Gaal seems to have rediscovered his goal. Watching Manchester City mature step by step over the years, Van Gaal's ambitions are also recovering. This season, he has high hopes for the team.

Manchester City players did not disappoint him. They accumulated 88 points in the Premier League. In previous seasons, this score should have won the championship. They reached the final of the Champions League. This is the first time in history that Manchester City has reached the Champions League final. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. A great opportunity, Van Gaal would never let go of such an opportunity.

But with two fronts and the same enemy, Van Gaal ended in failure without exception.

There is no reason, and the arrogant Van Gaal is not willing to give himself any more reasons. If he loses, he loses.

Mourinho has been standing under the stands with his hands in his pockets, enjoying the roar of the fans in the stands. He has become a hero in the hearts of the fans, leading them on a journey in football history. peak.

An undefeated season Grand Slam is absolutely unprecedented for a football club, but the Red Rebels did it, and Mourinho did it too. He will go down in history because of the Red Rebels.

"You win" Van Gaal didn't know when,

When he came to Mourinho's side, this time he saw the tugging Mourinho, but he was surprisingly not angry. He didn't find this guy unpleasant, but his tone of voice was a bit stiff. Obviously, he had never been angry in his life. Neither admits failure casually.

"Your team really deserves this victory, and it also deserves the unprecedented achievement of a complete victory in the season Grand Slam. You guys are great. I am convinced that I lost this game."

If the opponent was tougher, Mourinho would have ridiculed him, but now Van Gaal uncharacteristically took the initiative to admit defeat. Mourinho didn't know how to deal with himself at this moment, and stood there at a loss. The scene was very interesting.

Seeing Mourinho's mouth moving, as if he wanted to say something, but held back, Van Gaal suddenly laughed, "You don't need to say anything, I'm not the kind of person who needs comfort after failure." I'm a coward. If you lose, you lose. I don't have anything else, but at least I can afford to lose."

With just one sentence, Van Gaal's image became taller in Mourinho's heart, "Louis Van Gaal is still Louis Van Gaal, and you are still the arrogant Dutchman you were."

"You are still the same unruly Portuguese freak who likes to talk back and quarrel," Van Gaal laughed and countered.

Mourinho surprisingly did not retort, but shook his head and smiled. Unexpectedly, he walked over, hugged Van Gaal heavily, then leaned into his ear and said, "Thank you."

The two separated, Mourinho pouted angrily, looked at the sky, and then looked at Van Gaal, "If it weren't for those years in Barcelona, ​​I wouldn't be where I am today. Although I don't want to admit it, I There are deep traces of Dutch football in his football tactics, and there are also deep traces of Van Gaal."

"Is this why you thank me?" Van Gaal asked with a smile.

Mourinho shook his head, "No, in my opinion, these are all my contributions, and the reason why I thank you is because you gave me the opportunity to learn, that's all."

"You still have to spend every penny as you did back then," Van Gaal joked.

"This is Jose Mourinho"

The two of them suddenly laughed loudly in unison. It was obvious that the knot between them had been solved and many things had been let go of. Although they may not be good friends now, at least they can be considered good friends. There are old acquaintances where you can sit down, chat, and have a drink.

"Before this game, the Manchester City board of directors offered me a new contract extension. You know, the salary they offered was very high, but I was still hesitant. I was thinking about what if I won the Champions League. Will I still stay in Manchester after that?"

Mourinho couldn't help but nodded. He could completely understand Van Gaal's thoughts and considerations.

To put it bluntly, the current Manchester City team can really be said to have reached its peak under the guidance of Louis van Gaal. Young players such as Campani may continue to improve, but Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure, Te Weiss, Sneijder, Van der Vaart and others have all reached their personal peak.

It can even be said that Van Gaal has tapped the potential of Manchester City to the end. If he wants to continue to build on the foundation of Manchester City, it will undoubtedly require heavy signings and Van Gaal will need to adjust Manchester City's tactics to a certain extent, but this requires There is a price to pay for going through labor pains.

If it is as Van Gaal thinks, winning the Champions League after defeating the Red Rebels, a rapid retreat is a good result. After all, how to help the team go further is a headache for the next head coach who takes over, and Van Gaal It is to protect oneself.

"Then maybe you should reconsider this contract," Mourinho suggested with a smile.

Van Gaal nodded and said: "Yes, I have decided. I will agree to the new contract proposed by the Manchester City board of directors. At the same time, I will also make good use of all the favorable factors brought by this new contract."

Before leaving, Van Gaal did not forget to challenge Mourinho again, "You won this game, Jose, but next time, next time we meet, Manchester City will not just be like this today, we will do it again." further"

There is no doubt that a very important reason for Van Gaal to stay in the Premier League is that he hopes to defeat the Red Rebels and defeat Mourinho. This has become the biggest driving force for him to continue to be in charge of Manchester City.

Mourinho looked at Van Gaal's back with a wry smile, "Why did Ferguson say so, Rijkaard said so, Benitez said so, and even Wenger said so? Now, even Van Gaal said so." Gall also said the same, then wouldn’t our Red Rebels become the public enemy of the Premier League?”

It is undeniable that today's Red Rebels are undoubtedly at the top of football. Their style of play and their performance on the court are impeccable and convincing. However, for people such as Ferguson and Van Gaal, the coaching career If you can challenge a team like the Red Rebels, it will be something you will never regret.

At this time, winning or losing is no longer the most important thing to them. The most important thing is that they can continue to explore a higher peak in their coaching career with the stimulation of the Red Rebels.

"What Van Gaal said was no joke"

Xiao Yu, who has always been elusive, suddenly appeared near Mourinho. Next to him was his wife Eva Snow, Xiao Yu's two sons Xiao Bang and Gao Ren, and Beckham and others also appeared. beside them.

"I heard that Manchester City has offered a transfer fee of 150 million pounds to retain Van Gaal this time, and it can even reach a maximum of 200 million pounds. Van Gaal has already secured several of the top stars in today's football; the man behind Manchester United The Qatari royal family also offered Ferguson a transfer fee of 180 million pounds in the hope that Manchester United can defeat the Red Rebels."

"In addition, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams are also preparing to make drastic signings next season to strengthen their strength. In addition, Droylsden and Bayern Munich are also developing healthily. As a team, although we have reached the top this season, the challenges next season are still not small.”

Sometimes Xiao Yu feels that football is like constantly climbing a mountain. Although the Red Rebels have climbed Mount Everest, in the world of football, there are countless Mount Everests, and even mountains higher than Mount Everest are waiting. The Red Rebels.

The goal is attainable, but the pursuit is never-ending

"You are shifting all the pressure onto me," Mourinho smiled and shook his head.

Xiao Yu has left the Red Rebels, so starting from next season, the Red Rebels must get used to the fighting environment without Xiao Yu's supervision. Fortunately, in the second half of this season, Xiao Yu has been there With this preparation, there should be no trouble.

"So on behalf of the Red Rebels, I still want to say thank you, Jose." Xiao Yu hugged Mourinho heavily.

The Red Rebel players who were celebrating crazily in the distance also saw Xiao Yu and his party, and immediately ran over one by one.

Xiao Yu hugged the players one by one. It was obvious that he was in a very excited mood, so much so that when he hugged each player, he used extra force and his face turned red.

When Drogba, who was the last one to hug Xiao Yu, let go of Xiao Yu, the latter gritted his teeth and nodded.

"You are good. You are the bravest warriors of the Red Rebels. You are the heroes in the eyes of the Red Rebels players."

"I don't know how you view yourselves in your hearts, but I tell you, in my mind, you..." Xiao Yu's hand swept over each player, appearing extremely steady without any trembling. "In my mind, each of you is the best and most outstanding player in the world. You deserve all the honors, and you will go down in history for this."

The players suddenly became excited. Curtis was the first to rush forward and hugged Xiao Yu tightly. Then soon, the players came up one after another, and they gathered around Curtis. Next to him, Curtis, Terry, Kaka and Xiao Luo respectively supported Xiao Yu and carried him above his head.

Seeing his father being thrown high by the players, and then caught, and then thrown even higher, and then caught again, Gao Ren's heart was extremely excited. Although he was young, he was relatively precocious, so he naturally knew What amazing results the Red Rebels have achieved today, he naturally knows that the Red Rebels are creating a new era in world football.

But Chopin didn't see it that way. He was young and ignorant. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed familiar players, trying to imitate his father and being thrown up. He liked to play this kind of game at home. In the end, he was beaten by Beckham, Junior Juninho and others grabbed it, put it on their shoulders, and marched with the team.

The players carried Xiao Yu and Mourinho respectively and paraded around the entire Bernabeu Stadium. Every time they reached the stands, the fans in the stands burst into earth-shattering cheers. The momentum was terrifying.

Eva Snow stood with Victoria at the entrance of the players' tunnel. She smiled and watched her husband and son parade around the stadium. She seemed to be excited, excited, and happy with them, and she almost couldn't bear it. I was about to cry.

Sometimes she sees Chopin and Gao Ren's persistence and love for the Red Rebels. She is convinced that her family will probably be associated with the Red Rebels in this life. I am afraid that in the generation of Chopin and Gao Ren, they will also They are inseparable from the Red Rebels, and even the next generation of Chopin may still have to be with the Red Rebels.

Maybe, as Xiao Yu said, many, many years later, the Red Rebels will completely become their family's belief.

And she was very proud of this, very proud

After the Red Rebels marched up and down the court, the rostrum was ready to announce the start of the awards ceremony after the game.

The first to go on stage to present the awards was the runner-up Manchester City team. Their players went on stage one by one to receive the runner-up medals presented by Johansson. Although every player's face was full of disappointment, at least they looked a little excited. .

Reaching the Champions League final and finishing second is a good recognition for this group of Manchester City players.

After Manchester City presented the awards, it was the Red Rebels' turn to win the championship trophy.

But just when the Red Rebels were about to go on stage to receive their medals one by one, an unexpected scene occurred, that is, Xiao Yu was suddenly pulled onto the podium by the players.

The entire aisle was crowded, but Xiao Yu was pulled up to the podium by Kaka, Curtis and others.

Johansson, Beckenbauer, Florentino and others were a little embarrassed because they had prepared medals for the first team and head coach, but not for Xiao Yu. Fortunately, Curtis made a suggestion.

After the players received their medals one after another, they stood in a row. When Johansson and Beckenbauer took out the Big Ears Cup, Xiao Yu was pushed up by the crowd.

At this point, Xiao Yu could no longer refuse.

"I guess you are the first chairman to go on stage to receive the Champions League trophy, Xiao Yu." Johansson joked at Xiao Yu with a smile.

"So, tonight is definitely a big day worth remembering," Beckenbauer also smiled.

Xiao Yu nodded awkwardly, but his mood was so excited that when he raised the Big Ear Cup, he didn't think about anything else at all. He turned around, looked directly at his players, and then raised his head The tall one raised the big ear cup above his head.

At this moment, the entire Bernabeu Stadium was completely boiling. All the fans, whether they were Red Rebels or non-Red Rebels, were in awe of the Red Rebels' move.

What was somewhat surprising was that when Xiao Yu was holding the trophy, more of the players came together to give it to him, but no one wanted to take it from his hand. Xiao Yu tried to give it to the players several times, but was rejected every time. , they surrounded Xiao Yu, as if they were surrounding heroes, and came to the bottom of the rostrum.

Xiao Yu grabbed the Big Ear Cup. Next to him were the players of the Red Rebels. They stood in three rows. However, Curtis and others suddenly felt that it was not enough and ran over to grab Beckham, Juninho, and Cassel and other Red Rebel celebrities, members of the coaching staff, and even two little brats Chopin and Gao Ren were brought over.

The number of people taking family photos celebrating the trophy expanded to an unprecedented level, and the photographers had to frequently change positions in order to capture everyone.

The two boys, Chopin and Gao Ren, were standing nearby, each holding one of the ears of the big ear cup, with excited and excited expressions on their faces.

After taking family photos, the Big Ear Cup was returned to the hands of the players. They celebrated vigorously, especially those players who had not experienced the Red Rebels' three consecutive championships. This was the first time in their careers that they had won the Champions League trophy. It was definitely It is worth celebrating.

"Do you miss that feeling?" Xiao Yu saw Gao Ren looking at the big ear cup with some nostalgia.

The latter kept nodding, "Yeah."

"Then you must work hard in the future. You have talent and environment. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to bring him back with your own hands in the future and win a Champions League trophy that truly belongs to you," Xiao Yu encouraged.

Gao Ren has long been known as a talented forward in the youth training camp of the Red Rebels. His talent is highly recognized by professionals such as Mourinho, Beckham, Boyas, and even Mourinho. They all believe that as long as he continues to maintain this determination and continue to work hard, he will definitely become the most outstanding superstar in the world in the future.

Xiao Yu's lecture to his son could not continue. As soon as he finished speaking, Mourinho and others were immediately pulled to open the champagne again by Mourinho and others who were so excited that they did not even notice Gao Ren's determined look behind him.

He was born in poverty, so he cherished everything he had now more than his peers, and he also understood the meaning of hard work and persistence better than his peers. At this moment, he vowed from the bottom of his heart that he would never let Xiao Yu down.

Soon, the entire Bernabeu Stadium immediately smelled of champagne, and the smell of champagne floated in the air. It completely turned into a sea of ​​joy, a paradise for the Red Rebels football team.
