At the awards ceremony, the players from Inter Milan, who were unfortunately defeated, went up first to receive a silver medal.
But obviously, the silver medal cannot make up for their inner trauma.Not even the handsome prize money for the runner-up could make up for it.Only those who have experienced it can feel the feeling of the duck flying in hand.
After the Inter Milan players received the award, it was their turn to score two consecutive goals in the second half of overtime, reversing the lore of Inter Milan's Manchester United.
Although many of the players in the Manchester United team have their own experience of winning the Champions League, when they were waiting for the awards in the stadium, each of them sang and danced, excitedly following the children who were waiting for the candy.
The television broadcast featured close-up shots of several United players.
Li Xiaoming was also among them, hugging each other with his teammates, talking and laughing happily.To be more precise, Li Xiaoming was held in the arms of his teammates, because his physical strength was exhausted, what he wanted to do most now was to sleep in a comfortable big bed.
Winning the title puts a smile on the face of every Manchester United player.
Then, under the guidance and gestures of the staff, they began to line up and climb up the stairs, heading for the podium.
The award ceremony of this year's Champions League was not held on the podium that was played in the stadium, but directly in the stands.
position on the rostrum.
The players are to climb up the stairs.
This distance is not long or short.When the Inter Milan players climbed, they were weak and dejected. For them, the steps were extremely long.
For the Manchester United players, it was too short, three steps and two steps, everyone rushed up one after another.Of course, this does not include Li Xiaoming, who was put up by Rio Ferdinand and Berbatov together.
Along the way, fans who came from afar patted their shoulders, touched their heads, and gave them high fives with the same elation.
Everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
After coming to the rostrum, they passed in front of the award presenters one by one.
These guests love to shake their hands, hug them, pat their faces, and say a little praise and encouragement.
Then he took over the UEFA Champions League gold medal from the hands of UEFA President Michel Platini.
Walking in front of the Champions League trophy, some Manchester United players who couldn't wait had already kissed the cold outer wall of the trophy.
Li Xiaoming cheered up a little, and quietly stood behind the team, with the Chinese national flag on his body.
"Well done, young man. It's been a fantastic season for you. I don't think there's anything better than starting your career with a Champions League title. Enjoy the moment." Before hanging the gold medal on Li Xiaoming, Tiny patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaoming responded with a smile.
Next, watch him take the gold medal, enter the team, lean on the railing, and wave his arms down with his teammates, enjoying the cheers and worship of the fans.
Manchester United captain Gary Neville was the last to come before Platini. After he received the gold medal, he took the Champions League trophy from Platini.
Then he turned around and held the trophy high!
There was a huge cheer in the Bernabéu stadium.
"Champion! The 2009-2010 Champions League champion belongs to Manchester United!!!" Martin Taylor shouted with a drawn out voice.
Red confetti fell from the sky and the Manchester United flag hung from the ceiling.The words "King of Europe 2010" were printed on the electronic screen in front of the rostrum.
The players jumped up, the medals bouncing up and down on their chests, glittering with gold.

On the morning of May 24th, Monday, Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou was once again in a state of congestion, which is already a common occurrence for the increasingly prosperous Guangzhou.
Although it was still early in the morning, there was already a lot of noise in the waiting room.
"Develop and develop, develop every day, and give our wages development and development at any time!"
"That is, besides working overtime every day, we are working overtime every day. We were notified overnight yesterday that we are going to fly abroad. What did those leaders do earlier?"
"There are so many flights, and I have to go early in the morning. It's strange if I don't sleep to death..."
"But it's true that the domestic development is getting better and better now... you have to know where there were so many people before."
"That's right. Back then, there were so many people in the waiting room. Whoever had nothing to do went abroad and spent a lot of money!"
"Hey, those of us who work..."
There were all kinds of discussions in the waiting room.
But none of this affected Li Qingru, who was sitting upright in his seat in sportswear, sunglasses and a mask.
She doesn't care how long it will take for Guangzhou to develop, and he doesn't care about the discussions and disputes of the people in the car. At this moment, he is concentrating on reading the newspaper in his hand.
It was the highest-selling and most famous professional sports newspaper in China.
The most eye-catching thing on the front page that he turned outside was a photo.
In the photo, Li Xiaoming, wearing a Redmi Manchester United jersey, is showing his Chinese flag to the camera.
The title was "A Touch of Red in Europe".
Below is the subheading "Make history, Li Xiaoming becomes the first Chinese player to win the Champions League!"
Li Qingru opened the newspaper with a slight smile on her face, and was reading the details inside with relish.
Almost half of the content of this newspaper is related to the Champions League final, and it is all related to Li Xiaoming.
"...In the final of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League that ended early yesterday at BJ time, Manchester United defeated the Serie A giants 3-2. This final match in the Champions League' lasted 120 minutes. Fighting until the last moment... Chinese player Li Xiaoming started the game and performed very well..."
"...After Inter Milan took the lead, Manchester United's morale seemed to be affected, but with the help of Li Xiaoming, Manchester United quickly stabilized the morale of the army. Then Li Xiaoming used a genius idea in the penalty area to help Berbatov penetrate. scored Inter Milan's goal and equalized the score for Manchester United. When the score was equalized, Inter Milan's lead was only maintained for 6 minutes..."
"...In stoppage time, Inter Milan took the lead again. Milito's dexterous movement and calm strike in front of the goal put Manchester United in a desperate situation. At this time, it was Li Xiaoming again! He stood up bravely and used An assist by David Beckham to score in a way that no one expected, once again equalized the score for Manchester United! Li Xiaoming's assist method is very imaginative, completely fooling the Inter Milan players..."
"... Li Xiaoming's second assist is simply a wonderful work of art, causing the commentators from all over the world to stand up and applaud! His movements are light and heavy, and he is obviously very nervous, but he acts like a stroll in his back garden... CCTV commentator He Ping believes that this ball is completely comparable to Zidane's 'outside the sky' in Glasgow. Flying Immortals' comparable!"
Li Qingru read these words very well, with a smile on his face all the time, immersed in his own world, all the chaos and noise around him had nothing to do with him, nor could they invade his world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What happened at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is just a microcosm of what happened in China in the past two days.
Not only in reality, but also on the Internet, since the end of the Champions League final, the upsurge of discussion has not subsided.
This is the highest honor for Chinese players, the Champions League.
The impact of this on everyone is huge.
In professional football forums, Weibo, and QQ groups, everyone is talking about this matter with great interest.
The European media's reports on the game were all translated back to China. Seeing the foreign media's praise and praise for Li Xiaoming made the Chinese fans feel elated.
In fact, not long after the UEFA Champions League final ended, Chen Bin, Su Ye, Xiao Xiao, Pan An and Wen Ziming congratulated Li Xiaoming on Weibo.Li Xiaoming only posted on Weibo later, thanking his friends for their congratulations, as well as fans and the media for their support.Then wrote: "Perfect season!"
Accompanied by a solo photo of him holding the Champions League trophy in the dressing room.
In the photo, Li Xiaoming is naked from the upper body, wearing ball pants, holding a trophy, and the outline of muscles on the medal is clearly visible.
Li Xiaoming seldom exposes his body in front of the camera, so everyone was surprised when they saw the muscles on Li Xiaoming’s body—everyone knew that Li Xiaoming was a little fat man before, but after seeing the muscle lines of interest now, everyone realized , even if Li Xiaoming doesn't stand on the court with strength, his physical fitness has long since changed from what it used to be.
This is the mark left by hard work and sweat on Li Xiaoming's body.
It also shows from the side that Li Xiaoming's success is justified.
It's definitely not shit luck.
Even if you get shit luck, then the goddess of luck will only favor such a person.
The so-called heaven rewards hard work.
~~~~~~~~~~
Manchester, Li Xiaoming, who flew back to Manchester United overnight to participate in the celebration parade, was sent home by his teammates until the morning.
Extremely exhausted, he lay down in the room and fell asleep without even changing his clothes.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that he was awakened by a text message on his mobile phone.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and lay reclined on the bed with half of his face pressed against the pillow. After a long time, he turned on his phone to check the unexpected guest who disturbed his sleep.
"I'm in London. Pick me up in two hours. I'm afraid it will affect your game and cause you to rest, so I tell you now, see you at eight o'clock."
Sender: Qingru.
This message bounced off the bed as if Li Xiaoming touched an electric wire, and rubbed his hair that was messed up like a potted plant.
After being overwhelmed and collapsed on the bed for a while, he sat back quietly on the bed.
After scratching his face, Li Xiaoming calmed down his excitement.
Back to: "Obey, my leader."
Putting down the phone, Li Xiaoming rushed into the bathroom after thinking for a while.He began to wash away the beer stains poured on his body by his teammates last night, and the hot water rushed away, washing away Li Xiaoming's exhaustion and restoring Li Xiaoming's vitality.
Two hours later, Manchester Airport ushered in a strange guest, wearing a black sports coat, sunglasses and a mask, looking mysterious on a hot day.Standing at the exit of the airport, holding a white sign with Li Qingru's name on it like some pick-up people.
This mysterious figure is Li Xiaoming, who is specially dressed as Qiao Zhuang. After all, he is considered a celebrity in Manchester even if he is not too old or young.
Especially yesterday, when Manchester United just took home the fourth Champions League trophy in team history, it was at the height of discussion, Li Xiaoming did not want these media paparazzi to disturb his reunion with Li Qingru eight months later.
Li Xiaoming was more anxious than stepping into the Champions League final.
Crowded crowd As eight o'clock approached, Li Xiaoming also began to take a deep breath.
For Li Xiaoming, the lover whom he has not seen for a long time means the existence of family and hometown just like his parents.This kind of feeling has always been deeply hidden in Li Xiaoming's heart.
Black peaked cap, black sunglasses, Adidas sportswear with white background and black border, but a pair of Nike Baisen sneakers on the feet.With his white right hand dragging the yellow suitcase, Li Xiaoming immediately recognized Li Qingru from the crowd who hadn't seen him for a long time.
He excitedly held up the sign in his hand, took off his mask, and shouted Li Qingru's name loudly.
If he hadn't been wearing sunglasses and a hat, according to Li Xiaoming's fame in Manchester, he would be surrounded by fans now.
Li Xiaoming's exaggerated and comical movements also caught Li Qingru's attention. Her fair and pretty face waved towards Li Xiaoming, jumped, smiled slightly in the direction of the call, then waved and walked straight over.
Passed through the last gate at the airport separating the two
The two reunited after a long absence changed from a brisk walk to a trot, and after just a few seconds, Li Qingru let go of the suitcase she had been clutching tightly, and embraced the person whom she hadn't seen for a long time and whom she missed very much.
"Long time no see, you've lost weight."
"Well, I miss you very much."
"Me too."
The murmurs of the two sides are intertwined, telling each other their thoughts.The travelers around looked sideways at the couple hugging each other, smiled and left.
Such joys and sorrows are not uncommon in airports around the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Xiaoming was driving the car, and sitting in the co-pilot was Li Qingru who had taken off his hat and sunglasses, his ponytail was tied behind his head, and his face was still beautiful without makeup.In his opinion, she has not changed much, she is still youthful and energetic but still has the majesty of being a teacher.
But in her mind, the man sitting in the driver's seat has changed.The original greenness between the brows and eyes seemed to have faded away, and he was driving the car intently, looking at the road conditions, looking so mature.The originally round chin has become angular, and even the middle hair with bangs that I always like to keep has been shaved into a sticky cut.
And the reason turned out to be busy training and no time to take care of it.
Li Qingru suddenly discovered that the little boy who was still asleep, snoring, and dreaming of spring and autumn dreams in his class suddenly became a man.
