Chapter 762 Half a century of hard work and waiting (for subscription)

(I wish everyone happiness and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

This season, Richards is not an exaggeration to describe it as anticlimactic. At the beginning of the game, Richards was in such a good state that the whole England cheered for him. After all, after losing Gary Neville, England's right has been lacking a successor.

However, as the season progressed, Richards' performance began to decline. Of course, even if his condition was not as good as at the beginning of the season, Richards was still a first-class right back. However, Richards' physical condition was worrying.

In terms of strength, Richards has to beat a lot of people in the Manchester City lineup, but his physique is not as strong as his body. In this season, Richards is the most injured player in Manchester City.

And when a player is injured frequently, it is clear what that means, because in the football world, such examples are not uncommon. In England alone, there have been a few in recent years, such as Woodgate who moved to Real Madrid, Hargreaves who was on the bench for Manchester City, and former England golden boy Mike Owen.

If Manchester City's coaching staff and team doctors can't change Richards' situation, then the highly anticipated full-back is likely to follow in the footsteps of the previous few.

After Manchester City's main players came on stage one after another, it was the substitute's turn. After the substitute was head coach Marco van Basten, the team captain was the last player on stage.

When Kompany stepped onto the podium, Ittihad’s cheers were not as enthusiastic as imagined, because many headers are already crying, because they have waited for 43 years for this moment, and for this game, Manchester City arranged a special area very humanely, and the fans sitting there were almost all gray-haired old people.

In Europe, in England, fans are extremely loyal, and even a family has been fans of a team for generations. No matter what the team's performance is, they always perform as before. It is precisely because of this that the great Shankly said "Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death".

This is not Kompany's first championship. In Belgium, he won the league championship with the team. Even in England, he helped the team win the FA Cup in Manchester City last season.

But at this moment, Kompany's team captain is the first time in Kompany's career. It's no wonder that a calm Kompany is so excited, and even the hands that can't wait to stretch out are trembling.

"Now, this trophy belongs to you and your teammates." David Bernstein naturally saw Kompany's situation, but he could also understand it.

"No~~~ Dear Mr. Chairman, this trophy not only belongs to me and my teammates, but also to half of Manchester, and belongs to the Manchester City fans who have been waiting for 43 years." After saying this, Kompany took over the trophy from David Bernstein, Manchester City's 43-year-old trophy.

"We are the champions~~~~~" Lifting up the trophy, Kompany cheered with all his strength, followed by all Manchester City players, "We are the champions."

"We are the champions" could be more straightforward and powerful than these words. After the Manchester City players finished shouting, the Etihad fans started to relay, and the fans outside the Etihad Stadium followed, even half of Manchester joined in.

These short words represent Manchester City's 43 years of waiting, the 43 years of bitter grievances of Manchester City fans, and the best moments in life.

"This is just the beginning, this is just the beginning, this is definitely just the beginning, I swear, I want to win more championships, I want to win the European Champions Cup, this time, I will never say it again, no matter who the opponent is, anyone can stop me." Winning the Premier League championship did not satisfy Li Feng.

On the contrary, he is more hungry and thirsty, looking forward to the Champions League a week later. A Premier League cannot satisfy Li Feng's ambitions. He is eager for more. He wants to beat Messi and Ronaldo. This is not only in terms of statistics, but also in terms of the number of champions, defeating them in all aspects and standing on the pinnacle of the football world.

"Friends from the audience, this is Li Feng's second league title in Europe. In the 09-10 season, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title in a single season. Now, in his first season after coming to England, he won the Premier League title."

"This can no longer be described as unprecedented, because Li Feng has already set countless records. Now he is attacking the throne of European football. It is really unimaginable that we have produced such a player, a player who carries the national football banner. This is Li Feng. Now, no one in the world dares to underestimate us."

"Here, I would like to ask a certain department, are you blind? Leave the world's best players alone, or is Chinese football already strong enough to win the World Cup without the world's best players?" Whenever Li Feng has a wonderful performance, a certain department is always teased.

The trophy spun around in the hands of the players and then into the arms of Van Basten. Like Manchester City, this is also the first league title of Van Basten's coaching career.

From serving as the assistant coach of the second-tier team, to the head coach of the national team, and then back to Ajax, in just half a season, Van Basten was used as a scapegoat by Ajax.

After that, in the following two years, Van Basten spent all his time with his family. Knowing that last summer, after two years of rest, Van Basten once again had the idea of ​​coaching.

On the recommendation of Van Gaal, coupled with the temptation to coach Li Feng, Van Basten admired Li Feng. After two seasons of progress in Bayern Munich, Van Basten found that Li Feng was the perfect tactical core in his heart. In the end, in order to prove himself, Van Basten gave up staying in the Netherlands and chose to come to England.

"Head~~~Thank you." Every player who passed by Van Basten sent hugs and thanks. In one season, the charm of the Dutchman has already conquered his disciples, even Balotelli is no exception. This season, Van Basten has been carefully training Balotelli for a long time, and he himself knows this.

After enjoying the trophy for a long time, Kompany and Van Basten carried the trophy to the edge of the stands, followed by a group of Manchester City players, because in the stands, there are fans who are more eager for this trophy than them. For this trophy, they have waited for 43 years.
