Second watch!

"The 2003-2004 Champions League final has ended! Ajax defeated Porto with a score of 3: 2 to win this season's Champions League title! Congratulations to Ajax and to the China player Qin Xiong who played well in this game! Ajax's three goals in the game were all related to him. The first goal was his long shot that caused the goalkeeper to lose his grip. Ajax captain Van Der Vaart scored a rebound shot. The second goal was his header after receiving Snede's pass from outside the penalty area to directly assist his teammate Ibrahimovic to score. These two goals were crucial because Porto's two leads were equalized. At the last moment, when the regular game time was about to end, Qin Xiong received Ibrahimovic's pass from outside the penalty area and performed the finishing blow! His tricky and powerful shot sent the football into the goal!
There was no doubt that Qin Xiong had become the representative of China's players abroad. He used a season to write a new history of China's players in European football, a new height. He was the first China player to play for a powerhouse club, the first China player to compete in the Champions League, and the first China player to win the Champions League as a main player!
Ajax had always been the soil of the birth of a legend in European football. It was the cradle of superstars!
Last season, the 02-03 generation of Ajax had already shocked the European football world.
Last season, they reached the top eight of the Champions League but lost to the eventual champion, AC Milan. That game was regrettable. Ajax was only a few minutes away from breaking into the Champions League semi-finals, but Tomasson's finishing blow dealt a thunderous blow to Ajax's youth team.
When Chivu and van der Meyde left for Apennine, the European media thought that Ajax's competitiveness would decline significantly and that they would not be able to create a more brilliant record than last season.
They were wrong. Ajax shocked the world. The geniuses were poached, but they continued to nurture the geniuses! Snede, Qin Xiong, Derong and Heitinga, who were promoted to the main players this season, performed amazingly! It wasn't rare in Jax to make a name for themselves.
At the same time, their recruitment efforts were also very successful. The Czech national footballer, Grygera, and the French defensive rookie, Escudo, had made great contributions to the team's championship. There were also veterans like Galasek who played a huge role in the formation!
On this day in 2004, after Ajax won the Champions League, they were about to lift the Champions League trophy for the fifth time after winning the Champions League in 1971,1972,1973 and nine years ago in 1995!
According to UEFA regulations, a team that has won the Champions League five times will be eligible to keep a genuine Champions League trophy forever!
The significance of this championship trophy was extraordinary. Once again, congratulations to Qin Xiong. He was able to leave his name in the glorious history of the UEFA Champions League and make himself an indelible figure in the great glory of Ajax Club today!
There will be an award ceremony next, so please don't leave. We will continue to broadcast the award ceremony live for you! "
At the moment when the final whistle sounded, Qin Xiong's highly focused thoughts and tense nerves were fully relaxed. He felt as if his whole body had collapsed. It was not entirely because of exhaustion, but because of the impact of great joy, his mind became blank.
He lay on the field, his hands clenched into fists and raised. He closed his eyes and could not help but let out a long howl.
In the stands, the three old men wearing Ajax jerseys, Dekotze, Peter and Ruttmanson, hugged and celebrated. Dekotze, the big fat man, had made a model of the Champions League trophy when he came to the stadium and had been holding it in his arms. At this time, the old man was so stupid that it made people envious. The three of them raised the trophy model in Dekotze's hands together, as if they were the players on the field, as if they had received the trophy and were showing it to the world.
Sylvia, who was also wearing an Ajax jersey like her younger brother, Georgiana, looked unique and feminine today.
Girls who wore jerseys had a different kind of beauty.
It was the first time she had watched Qin Xiong's game live. It was even the first time she had walked into the stadium to watch a football game in the stands. Although she had watched Ajax's game through the game's television broadcast and had seen Qin Xiong's heroic appearance on the field, the feeling was really different from watching the game live.
The television broadcast could not always lock the live camera on Qin Xiong, right?
Qin Xiong had two attitudes on and off the field. In real life, he was a gentle man, and his social personality was obviously more shy. But on the field, he was full of drive, wild and showed elegance in his hot-bloodedness.
This made Sylvia's eyes unable to move away from Qin Xiong. Her eyes were bright and moving. At this moment, she also showed a very rare exaggerated smile. She lost her composure more than ever before, but she was still bright and moving. She was happy for Qin Xiong!
Georgiana was already scurrying around the stands like a little lion. He could not wait to tell the Ajax fans around him that Qin Xiong had taught him how to play football. He knew that Qin Xiong would help Ajax win the championship. He was proudly showing off his little prophet's accurate prediction, causing many Ajax fans around him to laugh.
They were all Ajax fans. Who would not confidently insist that the team would win the game before the game?
Freddy did not join the other people's revelry. He seemed to be standing calmly in the same place, out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.
His eyes were locked on Qin Xiong, who was lying on the ground on the field. He closed his eyes and showed a mature and gentle smile.
Perhaps it was Qin Xiong's many years of improvised fantasy colors when he drew, but Freddy could not help but close his eyes at this moment and imagine the fantastic scene in front of him.
He seemed to see an angry dragon in China's culture soaring into the sky from Qin Xiong's body, reaching the horizon and illuminating Europe!
The China dragon had really soared into the sky and become a new force that could not be ignored in the Grassi world!
When Qin Xiong opened his eyes again, he saw Ivan and Snede standing beside him, looking down at him together. The two had excited smiles on their faces. They reached out to pull Qin Xiong up, and then the three of them hugged each other, hugging each other's shoulders to celebrate winning the championship with their teammates.
Comain pulled up his pants before entering the field. He jumped and jumped as he hugged and celebrated with his assistant, and his pants almost fell off.
He walked into the field, showing an excitement and wildness that did not match his usual self. He gave the players high fives, hugged them, and praised each player generously.
The Ajax players were not interested in paying attention to the reactions of the Porto players. The field was a scene of ice and fire. Ajax was as passionate as fire, and Porto was as cold as water.
They seemed to be attending their own funeral. Many of the players had gloomy expressions on their faces. The young player Alberto covered his face and cried on the sidelines. He was very disappointed that his goal did not help the team win the championship.
Mourinho also walked into the field. The young manager, who still had a cold expression, went to pull up every player who was lying or sitting on the field, then hugged them, gently patted them on the back, and whispered unknown words in their ears.
He must be encouraging them.
When the award ceremony was about to begin, the Ajax players lined up on both sides of the road to the podium. They stopped smiling and began to applaud with a slightly serious expression.
They applauded for the runner-up.
Just as the fans in the stands were on equal footing, Ajax and Porto were also at odds with each other on the field because of their football styles, philosophies, techniques, and tactics.
There might have been a lot of conflicts on the field, but everything would vanish after the game.
Everyone was serving their own masters and had different philosophies in the pursuit of the highest honor. It was not worthwhile to form a deep hatred like what the media said when they hyped up the topic!
Moreover, Ajax did not win easily at all. After such an arduous battle, the Ajax players would applaud their opponents from the bottom of their hearts, even if everyone's situation was reversed. If they walked up to the podium as the runner-up, sorry, they did not care for the applause of their opponents at all. They only wanted the championship trophy that was within their reach!
When the Porto players lined up on the podium to receive the runner-up medal, the Ajax players looked at each other and smiled excitedly and proudly again.
It's our turn!
After Comain took the lead to step onto the podium, the Ajax players followed closely behind with their heads held high. They walked step by step toward the podium!
They knew very well in their hearts that every step they took was to reach the top of Europe!
The world's number one sport, football, which tugged at the heartstrings of countless people around the world, was not a competitive sport where the strong would win, but where the winner would be strong!
Yesterday's strong players might not continue to be strong until tomorrow. Today's weak players might kill tomorrow. No one could predict what kind of story would happen in the football world and what kind of legend would be left behind.
The 2003-2004 Ajax Youth Army replicated the glory of the 1994-1995 Ajax Youth Army!
Perhaps many fans would think that today's Ajax Youth Army did not have enough gold to win the title. This was an unprecedented dark horse season in the history of the Champions League.
Similarly, the Ajax Youth Army of that generation, who reached the top of Europe nine years ago, defeated the world-renowned Milan dynasty!
No matter how outsiders evaluated them, the Ajax players were proud and left a mythical memory in the hearts of the fans who loved them!
In the summer of 2004, Ajax Youth Army returned to the top of Europe after nine years and picked up the authentic Champions League trophy that was permanently in their collection!
Qin Xiong, Van Der Vaart, Snede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, De Jong, Maxwell, Heitinga …
This group of representative players also became the first youth army of the 21st century to enter the annals of history and shock the world!
