Chapter 397 This Is Just the Beginning

When Tottenham Hotspur once again launched a sharp counterattack, Ribery used his personal ability to quickly break through Ferreira on the left, and then made a wide pass. Messi ran inside from the right, and after receiving the ball, he shot a curved shot with his left foot, but because he did not hit the ball hard, he was knocked down by Hilario in front of the goal line. Chelsea was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

With the last few minutes of the game, Chelsea hoped to launch an offensive again, score a goal at the last moment, equalize the score, and then drag the game into overtime, but Tottenham Hotspur was obviously not prepared to do so. The sharp counterattacks kept reminding Chelsea that if you want to press forward to attack, you have to be careful behind you.

When Hilario stood up to kick off, there was not much time left for stoppage time.

When Chelsea's goalkeeper kicked the ball out, Hangeland suddenly stepped forward, overpowered Mikel, and headed the ball back to the front court. The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game. In this way, Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated Chelsea 2:1!

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium stood up from their seats at the same time, waving their arms wildly and shouting like crazy.

The sound waves they created quickly swept the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium. Everyone was swallowed up by this deafening shout, and the whole person was involuntarily infected by the shouts that were higher than the waves, and then felt that their whole body was completely ignited.

"We are the champions!!!"

This classic song, which almost all fans will sing after winning the championship, was first sung in the stands. Amid the overwhelming and deafening singing of the fans, the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed out of the stadium and kept sprinting around the stadium to celebrate the team's championship.

One by one, the players rushed out of the stadium and ran wildly on the sidelines, singing in the fans' singing. They were sweating all over their heads, but they didn't notice it at all. Their hearts were all swallowed up by the ecstasy after winning the championship, and they were all affected by the loud and high-pitched singing of the fans on the spot. They felt that there was a passion in their hearts that had to be released.

Ye Qiu exhaled heavily, turned around and hugged the assistants around him one by one, hugged the substitutes behind him, and finally applauded the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands, thanking them for their support for the team during this period of time!

The exciting drumbeats in the stands paused for a moment, and a song [We Are the Champions] was sung, but soon, the drumbeats started again, singing the Tottenham Hotspur fans' favorite song [Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur].

If you listen carefully to this song, you will definitely feel very puzzled, because this song is often heard by Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, and not only at Old Trafford, but also in some other Premier League home stadiums, because it is not the team's anthem, but a folk song adapted from the American Civil War [The Battle Hymn of the Republic], which is the [Battle Hymn of the Republic].

This song is very popular and was even widely circulated during World War II. Later, fans of Premier League teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United also transformed this song into the team's anthem and sang this song in every game.

Gradually, accompanied by the song [Glory to Tottenham Hotspur], more and more fans began to clap their hands vigorously, and more and more fans stood up from their seats, using their loud singing and applause to dedicate to all the Tottenham Hotspur people who were celebrating wildly in the stadium.

The singing and applause swept the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium, swept every corner of the stadium, and infected everyone present. Everyone was deeply melted and swallowed by the magma-like enthusiasm bursting out by the fans. They could feel the pride in the hearts of all Tottenham Hotspur fans at this moment.

All Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the scene clearly remembered that the team's last championship was also in the League Cup, dating back to 1999, and in 2002 they also reached the League Cup final, but were eventually defeated by Blackburn.

Eight years have passed, and Tottenham Hotspur finally won the team's first championship trophy. Even though it is only a very insignificant and even useless League Cup championship in the eyes of those traditional giants, it is enough to make all Tottenham Hotspur fans excited, surprised and proud.

For a long time in the past, since Everton defeated Manchester United in 1995 and won the FA Cup for the last time, the FA Cup has completely become the forbidden fruit of the traditional Premier League Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, and has completely changed from a hotbed of upsets to a game for the current giants.

Although the League Cup has little influence and is in an awkward situation of conflicting schedules with the Champions League, the giants have not paid enough attention to it. However, since Blackburn defeated Tottenham Hotspur in 2002, it has completely become a game for traditional giants.

There are even many newspapers that ridicule and ridicule such unreasonable phenomena every year. The most classic one is the sentence of the Guardian, "We seem to have changed the law. All teams other than the top four are not allowed to Allowed to win!”

But now, the monopoly of powerful teams on league and cup championships has finally been broken!

While everyone at Tottenham Hotspur was celebrating wildly on the field, the commentators on the scene were also full of sighs.

"Tottenham Hotspur has always been known as the king of cup competitions. In 1901, they won the FA Cup for the first time. In 1961, they became the first team in the history of England to win the top league and FA Cup double champions. But "This team from north London has been mediocre for a long time in its history."

"Although they once played the most popular football in the Premier League, and although they were once listed as a quasi-rich team in the Premier League, in fact, in the history of this team for more than a hundred years, they have It has only won two top league championships, in the 1950/51 season and the 1960/61 season. It has been more than 40 years.”

"In the history of cup competitions, the eight FA Cup championships were won more than ten years ago, and the three League Cup championships can be traced back to 1999. This makes everyone at Tottenham Hotspur excited. There is a strong desire in my heart for the team to return to its former peak.”

"There is no doubt that Ye Qiu's arrival has given hope to all Tottenham Hotspur fans. He not only led Tottenham Hotspur to regain the gorgeous football of the past, but he also led the team Breaking out of the past cycle of being gorgeous but unable to win, Tottenham Hotspur unleashed an offensive storm!”

“Forty-one years ago, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 2:1 at Wembley Stadium and successfully won the FA Cup. Today, forty-one years later, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley Stadium and successfully won the FA Cup. Tottenham also defeated Chelsea with a score of 2:1 and won the League Cup this season! "

"Let us congratulate all the Tottenham Hotspur fans who have finally waited for the day when the team regains the championship honors. Let us also express our gratitude to all Tottenham Hotspur fans, including Ye Qiu and his coaching staff. From everyone at Tenham Hotspur, congratulations to them for finally winning the League Cup!”

"Perhaps, for wealthy teams, the League Cup is equivalent to useless, but we have absolutely reason to believe that everyone who has watched this game will not be pessimistic about Tottenham Hotspur, because He is young, full of energy and has amazing abilities.”

"Tottenham Hotspur has been controversial this season. Ye Qiu purchased this North London team in the summer, which cost him a whopping 200 million euros, and then he invested more than 100 million euros. Euro has invested nearly 100 million euros in the team’s signings and the team’s new training base.”

"Such a large investment did not bring satisfactory results to Tottenham Hotspur. This north London team even lingered on the doorstep of the relegation zone for a long time until December last year. , they regained the feeling of winning, and successfully played an excellent offensive storm, constantly improving their ranking.”

"Now, defeating Chelsea, winning the League Cup, ending the monopoly of the Premier League giants on the league and cup, this shows Tottenham Hotspur's ambition and ambition, as Ye Qiu said at the beginning of the season, His goal is to build Tottenham into the Premier League, the best team and the most powerful club in the world!”

"In this game, he and his team gave us hope!"

"For this game, I am proud and proud of the performance of my players. I think they are the best. Winning this game is the reward we deserve, but we will not feel guilty about it. "I'm satisfied and I hope the players can keep trying because the league is far from over."

After the team's crazy celebration, Ye Qiu was waiting for the award ceremony to start in the comprehensive interview area of ​​the Millennium Stadium. He also accepted routine interviews with reporters and the media. He originally planned to find Mourinho after the game. Oh, but who knew that Chelsea's head coach didn't know where to hide after the game.

"I said that our goal this season is to top four in the league. Even now, my players and I have never forgotten our goal or our direction. Winning the League Cup will make us Use a calmer but more tenacious fighting spirit to hit the biggest and most important goal of this season and win more trophies.”

Immediately after Ye Qiu answered this question, a reporter asked again, "Mr. Ye Qiu, congratulations on winning the League Cup. We all want to ask, when you acquired and coached Tottenham Hotspur, Have you ever thought about winning the cup this season? Because Tottenham Hotspur has always been the king of the cup, winning the cup many times or reaching the final, and you are also the king of the cup! "

This is the first time Ye Qiu has heard of Tottenham Hotspur's title of Cup King, but he remembers that Tottenham Hotspur's cup results are indeed much better than their league results, especially in the FA Cup. , but to be honest, this is not a glamorous experience, because the FA Cup has always been nicknamed a hotbed of unpopularity.

"I have never set any goals for this season, because I think everything is a matter of course. If you are strong enough, you will win the championship naturally. If you are not strong enough, it is useless to think too much or set too many goals."

"The reason why I came to Tottenham Hotspur and White Hart Lane is because I am sure that I can lead the team to fulfill my dream in Tottenham Hotspur. Of course, I can feel that all the Tottenham Hotspur fans present and even in front of the TV will be proud of the team's championship."

"But this is not surprising to me. I am not surprised at all, because I know that my players have such strength, so even if When we were hovering in the relegation zone, I was sure that the team would have a day to shine, and as the head coach of the team, all I had to do was to bring my confidence to all of them. "

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" Another reporter handed over the microphone, "Winning another championship after eight years is definitely a memorable championship for Tottenham Hotspur. Have you thought about how to celebrate? I heard that Tottenham Hotspur explicitly rejected the district council's proposal for a parade after winning the championship before the game. What is your attitude towards this? "

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, we are very grateful to the Tottenham District Council for their support and affirmation of us. They expressed their willingness to arrange for us to parade after winning the championship and celebrate with all the fans, but we are grateful. I refuse this kind invitation, because we have more important things to do. I believe that all Tottenham players and fans will agree with me. "

"I know that it is not easy for the team to win the League Cup, especially when we defeated the powerful Chelsea, but this is just the beginning. All our fans should believe that this is just the beginning for the team, and it is far from time for us to celebrate. "

"We hope to turn the time of celebration into time for the team to adjust. We hope that the team can continue to maintain this kind of performance tonight in the upcoming Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup, so that the team can successfully complete the goals of this season and achieve more and higher honors. and glory. "

"If the league is likened to a journey, then we have just conquered one of the fortresses. Should we stop here? Should we be satisfied here?"

"No, I believe that all Tottenham players and fans will not be satisfied. We must keep moving forward. We hope to celebrate the end of this season with more championship trophies after the end of this season!"

For this point, Tottenham Hotspur has already reached a tacit understanding. After the game, when the team returns to London, there will be no celebration ceremony. Instead, the championship trophy will be sent directly to the fan souvenir shop next to the White Hart Lane Stadium, so that all fans can admire this championship trophy.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, what kind of power has enabled you and your players to get to where you are today? And in such a wonderful final, do you have any regrets?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Ye Qiu thought for a while and said with a smile: "I have to thank Chelsea's head coach, Mr. Jose Mourinho, for his words that inspired me and my players. He said that we can't win anything relying on a group of children, which made all of us want to prove to him that he was wrong!"

"In fact, I wanted to thank Mr. Mourinho in person after the game, but unfortunately, I couldn't find him. He, here, I also hope that all reporters and media can convey my gratitude to him, thank him for using words to inspire me and my players. "

"And I also want to tell Mr. Mourinho a word here." Ye Qiu paused, looking directly at the camera in front of him, "You are wrong, Mr. Mourinho, relying on this group of children, I defeated you and won the League Cup, and you, you may get nothing!"

"Good!!!" The reporters at the scene cheered one by one, they all hoped that Ye Qiu and Mourinho could have a few more verbal battles, so that at least their newspapers could be sold well.

But Ye Qiu obviously stopped when he saw the good, and after saying a few words to hit the opponent's morale and vent his depression, he didn't say much, just talked about his newly born child. He said that he hoped to give this championship trophy to his son, and he even thought of his son's name, Ye Chen.

The morning is the beginning of the day, and this morning also means the sunrise in the east, which contains Ye Qiu and Huang Chu's expectations for their children. They hope that their children can always be like the sunrise in the morning, constantly climbing the peak of life.

When Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media, the podium of the Millennium Stadium was ready.

Ye Qiu was the first to step onto the podium, which was also the process of the League Cup award ceremony. He was the first to receive the medal of the champion coach, followed by Beckham, the best player of the game. At the same time, as the team's on-field captain, Mascherano also raised the championship trophy on behalf of the team.

At this moment, all the fans in the stadium cheered, and all Tottenham fans cheered for the team to lift this League Cup championship, and gave extremely warm applause.

Amid the sound of bangs, colored paper flew all over the sky, and colored ribbons slowly fell from the air, covering the heads of all the Tottenham Hotspur players on the podium, and at the same time congratulating Tottenham Hotspur for winning the fourth League Cup trophy in the club's history.

On the podium, all Tottenham Hotspur players, including the coaching staff, players and staff, raised their hands to support the League Cup trophy in the hands of the players, which looked light but was actually heavy in everyone's mind.

It carries the hard work and blood and sweat of all Tottenham Hotspur players, and also carries the hopes of all fans for the team.

They all hope that everything will be as Ye Qiu said, and this is just the beginning!
