Even though there were still two minutes of stoppage time left in the game, the score was five to two, with a lead of three goals. Now, everyone knew that the UEFA Champions League title belonged to Inter Milan and Li Ang!
"Congratulations to Li Ang! He is about to become the manager of the UEFA Champions League! This is the first Asian manager, and also the first China manager to lead a team to the UEFA Champions League title! " The commentator from China's CCTV Sports Channel, He Wei, said excitedly, "This is the pride of China's football! This is the pride of all China's football people! At this moment, there is only pride in our hearts! Only excitement! We are proud of Li Ang! Proud of him! "
"After leading Sporting de Gijón to the UEFA Europa League title last year, Li Ang has now led Inter Milan to the UEFA Champions League title! From the UEFA Europa League title to the UEFA Champions League title! He has become a true UEFA Champions League manager! This is the highest honor that countless managers dream of! "Zhang Lu said excitedly.
Li Ang led Sporting de Gijón to the UEFA Europa League title last season, and now he led Inter Milan to the UEFA Champions League title!
He won the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons!
Before Li Ang, there were two managers who had achieved this, namely Mourinho and Benítez. When Mourinho was in charge of FC Porto, he led FC Porto to the UEFA Europa League title in the 20022003 season. Then, in the 20032004 season, the 'Madman' manager led FC Porto to the UEFA Champions League title and officially became one of the top managers in Europe.
And in the 20032004 season, the Spanish manager, Benítez, led Valencia to the UEFA Europa League title. Then, in the summer of 2004, Benítez went to Liverpool. Then, in the new season, he led Liverpool to the 'Istanbul Miracle' in Istanbul and led the Reds to the top of Europe!
There seemed to be a mysterious pattern in the history of European football in the past few years.
Just as Benítez led Liverpool to the UEFA Champions League podium, Li Ang led Sporting de Gijón to the UEFA Europa League title podium. Then, he came to Inter Milan, and now he would lead Inter Milan to the UEFA Champions League title podium!
Mourinho and Benítez led their teams to the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Champions League title within two years, and they were now the top managers in Europe!
These two were also the only two coaches in the European football world to have accomplished this feat!
Now, after these two generals, Li Ang had also done it!
The current situation of Chinese football was very bad. The Chinese men's football team was hopeless. Under such circumstances, Li Ang's achievements were particularly eye-catching and inspiring!
*****
It was not only China's commentators who were praising Li Ang. At this moment, almost all the commentators were praising this China manager.
"Before Li Ang came to Inter Milan, Inter Milan was regarded as a black hole of star players! Inter Milan's boss Massimo Moratti invested a lot of money, but after all these years, Inter Milan did not get anything except for the UEFA Europa League title! "
"Under such circumstances, Li Ang came! A China man became the manager of Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan! This caused him to be questioned the moment he took up the position! But now, a season has passed, this China man used brilliant results and glory to fight back against all the doubts! Under his leadership, Inter Milan won the Serie A title which they have not been able to obtain for a long time! Now, they are going to lift the UEFA Champions League title! They are going to stand at the top of Europe! Since the era of 'Inter Milan', the glory that Inter Milan people have been searching for for half a century has returned at this moment! Li Ang, the China manager, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor! He is the true soul of Inter Milan! "
Everyone was praising Inter Milan and Li Ang because everyone knew that Li Ang was the soul of Inter Milan. He was the cornerstone of this Inter Milan team. Inter Milan did not lack star players, but they were unable to win the title. Only Li Ang, only this China man, was able to bring these star players together and find a balance between star players and young talents to lead Inter Milan from victory to victory!
The live television broadcast gave Li Ang a long close-up.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He was in high spirits. The expression on his face was firm and confident.
He was waiting for the whistle to signal the end of the game.
Finally, two minutes passed.
As Messi dribbled the ball and was knocked to the ground by Carlos, Barcelona's last attack was disrupted. The referee on duty, Haug, blew the whistle to signal the end of the game!
*****
These three whistles were the beginning of the crazy cheers that Inter Milan people had been waiting for half a century!
"The game is over! The game is over! The game is over! Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 5-2 in the final! They are the champions! They are the champions of the 20052006 UEFA Champions League season! "
"Congratulations to Inter Milan! Congratulations to Li Ang, congratulations to Ronaldo, congratulations to Adriano! Congratulations to Zanetti! Congratulations to Mata, congratulations to Carlos, congratulations to Modric, congratulations to Samuels, congratulations to Materazzi, congratulations to … Congratulations to Moratti! Inter Milan! They are the new European champions! They stand at the top of Europe! "
After the whistle to signal the end of the game, Inter Milan's substitutes went crazy. The players rushed onto the field like crazy and hugged their comrades!
Li Ang took his hands out of his trouser pockets. He raised his arms and cheered for the arrival of the champions. Then he was hugged by his assistant, Banderas.
"We are the European champions! We are the European champions! "Banderas's voice was choked with sobs.
"Yes! We are the European champions! "Li Ang and his old friend hugged each other warmly.
Then, Li Ang was hugged tightly by Ronaldo. The others rushed onto the field. Ronaldo ran over to Li Ang. The Brazilian wanted to thank Li Ang.
"We did it! We did it! "Ronaldo's tears were on his face. He cried out loud.
"Ronaldo, you are the European champions now!" Li Ang had a smile on his face as he patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.
The 'extraterrestrial' continued to sob. He had waited for this moment for too long. He had waited too long.
Li Ang patted Ronaldo on the shoulder. He did not comfort him. These were tears of joy. Cry, cry! Cry enough!
*****
Later, Li Ang walked to Barcelona's technical area.
Rijkaard's face was pale. He was waiting for him.
"Congratulations, Li!" Rijkaard said. The two men shook hands.
Li Ang expressed his gratitude to the Dutchman for his congratulations and also praised Barcelona's performance out of courtesy.
Rijkaard did not want to hear these words. After a simple handshake, the Dutchman turned and left. He wanted to find his players. He wanted to comfort the players who had fallen in front of the championship trophy.
Li Ang also turned to find his players. He wanted to congratulate them. He wanted to thank every player and thank them for all their efforts to become champions!
Li Ang hugged Adriano. The Brazilian center forward knelt on the ground and kissed the bullet. He pointed one hand to the night sky and tears wet his cheeks.
"Boss! I did it! We are the European champions! My father is watching me! "Adriano's voice was choked with sobs.
"Yes! He's watching you! He's proud of you! "Li Ang touched the Brazilian's head.
Then, Leon hugged Zanetti, hugged Stankovic, hugged Materazzi, hugged Figo, hugged, hugged. Not far away, Toldo, who had just returned from the locker room, was hugging Cesar.
Then, Li Ang went to the young guys. Mata, Carlos, Modric, Agüero, and the others were together. The young guys were jumping and shouting crazily. When they saw Li Ang coming over, they immediately surrounded him.
"No!" Li Ang shouted. But it was too late. This group of young people liked to play the game of "throwing the head coach to celebrate" when they were at Sporting de Gijón.
