Chapter 903 Defeated
"GOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst the excited roars of the commentators, the football rolled into the net without any suspense.

"Scholes! Scholes! Scholes! Fourth! 4:1! Manchester United leads Liverpool with three goals!"

"In this game, Scholes also performed very well, making great contributions on both ends of the offense and defense. This time, he appeared in a key position at a critical moment and scored a key goal, which is almost a lock. Champion's goal!"

"The game is over!" Andy Gray directly announced the end of the game. He awarded the championship trophy to Manchester United in advance. Counting the stoppage time, Liverpool only had less than 87 minutes. It is impossible for them to score three goals in 4 minutes. No team, at least this season, no team can do such a thing. Manchester United are invincible!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! It's really unexpected..." Lineker shook his head and said, "Who would have thought that Manchester United could be on the Champions League podium for the fourth time in five years! This is also their second time in five years Defending the Champions League for the first time! Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to accomplish something in more than ten years, and they have done it twice in five years!"

"I'm afraid more people didn't expect that Manchester United can beat Liverpool so easily!" Andy Gray said.

"Yes, before the start of this game, there was a lot of speculation that this key game to decide who is the strongest king in English football will definitely be a battle of dragons and tigers. Although Manchester United, which has won the Premier League title four times in the past five years, is strong , but Liverpool is not weak. After Benitez entered Anfield, Liverpool showed a vigorous recovery. Two years ago they miraculously defeated AC Milan to win the fifth Champions League in team history. To reach the Champions League final, for the sake of honor, they must fight Manchester United to the death..." Lineker nodded.

………………

In front of the TV, many fans also nodded fiercely. They won the Champions League four times in five years, which is comparable to Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League titles.

Considering that the competition in football is getting stronger and stronger, Manchester United has won the Champions League four times in five years and defended it twice, which is even rarer than Real Madrid's five consecutive championships.

Before the 90s, a team that dominated the Champions League appeared from time to time. From the birth of the Champions League in the 1955-1956 season to the 1989-1990 season, in just 35 years, a total of Real Madrid, Benfica, Inter Milan, and Ajak appeared. There are eight teams that have defended the UEFA Champions League, including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, and AC Milan. Among them, Real Madrid has won five consecutive championships, and Ajax and Bayern Munich have won three consecutive championships.

In other words, in these 35 years, 24 years have been occupied by the defending years!

However, in the following 12 years, due to the restructuring of the Champions League, the expansion of the army also made the competitiveness of the Champions League stronger. Although AC Milan (1993-995) and Juventus (1996-998) broke into the Champions League for three consecutive years The team in the final, but they only won one Champions League in those three years!
After entering the new century, the competitiveness of the Champions League has been obvious to all.But it was under such circumstances that Manchester United rose strongly, advancing to the final four times in five years and winning four times, and defending the title twice.

This is too strong!
………………

At this time, on the court, Scholes, who scored the goal, ran to the sidelines with open arms, and then hugged the team captain Yin Jun.

For the 32-year-old veteran, as a meritorious player, he founded Ferguson's red dynasty and was one of the great heroes of the Manchester United team in 1999.But because of the suspension, he missed the Champions League final.

In the following three seasons, Manchester United's Champions League performance declined. In 2000 and 2001, they stopped in the quarter-finals. In 2002, they were eliminated by Leverkusen in the semi-finals.

Just when Scholes thought that Manchester United had begun to decline and that he was about to usher in the end of his career, the young man in front of him changed everything.

Since Yin Jun joined Manchester United in the summer of 2002, Scholes' experience in the past five seasons has been a dream, winning the Premier League four times, the Champions League four times, and the team also won the FA Cup three times , three League Cup winners, and a whole host of other titles.

This is something he never dreamed of!

So, this young man who was ten years younger than him became Scholes' idol.

Being able to continue to improve and achieve such achievements beside the players I admire is definitely a joy that others cannot imagine.

The other players of Manchester United also gathered around to celebrate. They were so excited that they led the opponent by three goals with less than 10 minutes left in the game. They didn't think there was any suspense, and they didn't think that Liverpool could perform any miracles.

Even if the opponent staged the Istanbul miracle that shocked the world football two years ago.

Now there are less than 10 minutes left in the game instead of 45 minutes plus extra time!
The champion is stable!

………………

Manchester United's players celebrated for so long that the referee van der had to stop it.

During this process, the Liverpool players did not protest, which shows that the opponent's psychology has collapsed, and there is no fighting spirit...

The staff held up the electronic signal board for 4 minutes of stoppage time in the whole game.

Some Manchester United fans booed and some applauded.

Those who booed were dissatisfied with such a long stoppage time, while those who applauded cheered that they would be able to win the Champions League this season in 4 minutes.

And winning this Champions League also represents Manchester United's most important club honor in world football-the number of Champions League champions exceeds that of its rivals, and it truly ascends to the throne of English football!

At this time the score on the field is still 4:1, Manchester United leads Liverpool.

Ferguson also used up the last substitution quota at this time. The central defender Wes Brown, who was born in the Manchester United youth training camp, came off the bench and replaced Vidic.

Although objectively speaking, the substitution of Wes Brown has no tactical significance, or the greatest significance is to waste the game time, but in the eyes of Manchester United fans, this has a good meaning.

Wes Brown is a product of Manchester United's youth academy. Since playing in the first team in the 1997-1998 season, he has played for Manchester United's first team for a full ten years.Although he never secured his position as Manchester United's main player during this period, he often made mistakes in the game and was often scolded by fans.

But no matter how you scold them, they are all their own children.

In such an important game today, even in the last garbage time, Ferguson did not forget to let his own children make their debut on the stage.
