Zhang Kuang shrugged. "It was the wasps who tried to sting me first, so I stabbed their nest. When our goal was disallowed and our man was sent off, no one thought about the consequences of offending Manchester United. Am I still afraid of the consequences of offending them?"
Gill opened his mouth, said nothing more, and just patted his shoulder. "Okay, give me your Twitter account number and password first, and we will handle it. Let's celebrate the championship first. You don't have to worry about other things, and don't say anything nonsense in front of reporters."
Zhang Kuang nodded. "You should contact my agent. He has my Twitter account number and password. As for how to check, you can communicate with me."
Gill patted Zhang Kuang on the shoulder, "Okay."
The post-match press conference will be held in the press hall of Wembley.
Ferguson and Guardiola were sitting on the coaching benches of the home and away teams respectively, with microphones in front of them.
Reporters' questions almost all focused on three aspects: referee decisions, team tactics and player performance, and Negreira Case.
Ferguson spoke first, but the old man still looked unhappy:
"Today's Manchester United deserves this championship because we used our rock-solid will and perseverance to fight against difficulties to finally win the championship. We deserve it.
As for the team's tactical issues, I am very pleased that we successfully blocked Barcelona's passing and possession tactics. Everyone has seen that we adopted the method of defending in the front and organizing in the back, preventing Barcelona from switching in the midfield and opening up space for the players' defense and offense.
Speaking of this tactic, we have to thank Zhang Kuang. At the beginning of preparing for this game, we discussed in the team what tactics to use to counter Barcelona's passing and controlling tactics.
Zhang Kuang gave this method of defending in the front and moving back in tactics. We later formed this tactic after refinement and appropriate improvements.
Zhang Kuang is the treasure of our Manchester United fans. He not only has super offensive and finishing abilities, but can also provide tactical suggestions to the team. Such players are extremely rare in the world.
Everyone saw his performance today, with three goals and one assist. At the last moment, Messi scored a must-goal on the goal line. He ensured the team's victory.
As for the Barcelona team, I don't need to say that they set off a tactical revolution. They are indeed respectable opponents and are very difficult to deal with on the field.
If there is no Zhang Kuang, I believe that the winner today is Barcelona, but unfortunately, we have Zhang Kuang.
The last point is about refereeing. I have been in the industry for 35 years and have never seen such a penalty in a final. Two goals were disallowed and an unwarranted red card was given. This is not an accident. This matter cannot be ignored and it cannot be fooled."
Reporter: "Why did you prepare to strike out but then gave up after encountering an unfair verdict in the second half?"
Ferguson: "Because UEFA promised to change the referee team, and because after discussing with Glazer and Gill, I felt that a strike would be a loss for everyone.
Especially for the future of Manchester United, UEFA, and English Football Association, this is a situation of multiple losses. Maybe when we return to the court, the only loss we have is Manchester United's championship today, but we will not let the situation of multiple losses occur.
Yes, today we have endured the humiliation and burden in order to safeguard everyone's common interests, but I hope that such humiliation and burden cannot always be borne by the party who abides by the rules and is bullied. If the person who suffers injustice insists on fairness, then the person who commits injustice will only get worse in the future.
We took the overall situation into consideration and saved everyone's face. Facts have proved that the players turned their grief and anger into strength. We won after we came back. God rewards those who insist on fairness."
Reporter: "Sir Ferguson, Zhang Kuang just showed in front of reporters that before the game, a fan sent a private message to his Twitter, revealing that Barcelona has paid 'consulting fees' to the affiliated company of the vice chairman of the La Liga Referee Committee since 2001 to obtain on-field penalty facilities. Therefore, the referee's penalty today was unbalanced. He believed that the referee may have been bribed and suggested a strict investigation. What do you think of this?"
Ferguson was stunned for a moment. "Ah? Is there such a thing? Zhang Kuang did not report this to us. Maybe he felt that the information sent to him by the fans was a bit ridiculous, so he didn't mention it.
However, everyone has seen today's penalty. If the referee is really bribed, then this matter needs to be investigated strictly."
The reporter asked, "You said that Zhang Kuang proposed the strategy of defending in the front and organizing in the back at the tactical meeting. Is this true?"
Ferguson nodded. "It's true. I don't need to lie to you. There were about thirty people in the team at the time. This was recorded on video."
The reporters were in an uproar.
Reporter: "Are you worried about other teams poaching Zhang Kuang?"
Ferguson:"I believe Zhang Kuang."
"..."
When it was Guardiola's turn, Spain's expression was obviously much tired.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Manchester United for winning the championship. As Sir Ferguson said, their championship is well deserved.
If Barcelona faces 10 versus 11 after halftime, I dare not say that he can win the championship. Manchester United is an opponent worthy of respect.
Today both teams put in a lot of effort and had a strong will. Barcelona There were no major tactical mistakes or personal mistakes in the whole game. Everyone performed perfectly.
However, there is Hero in the Manchester United team. He overshadows everyone else's light, making Barcelona's efforts look a little pale and become a green leaf to set off him.
Yes, everyone knows who I am talking about. Zhang Kuang is a phenomenal player, which is unbelievable. If what Sir Ferguson said just now is true, then he still has the ability to provide tactics, which is incredible.
In the future, he will be in the same class as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and become a superstar in this football era. Regarding referees, I don't comment. The referee's job is done by the referee, and I am only responsible for my team."
Reporter: "What do you think about what Zhang Kuang said about Barcelona bribing La Liga, the vice chairman of the referee committee?"
Guardiola was silent for a few seconds. "Regarding the Negreira matter, I don't know whether it is true or not now. As the head coach of Barcelona, I have never been told that the referee was in our favor. I will wait until a thorough investigation to determine whether everything is true or false. I believe we will give the world a fair answer."
The reporter continued to ask, "Then what do you think of what Zhang Kuang said last year, 'Your success depends on Messi, and you will not succeed without Messi'?"
Guardiola was silent for a while, and then said, "I am in the game. I don't know whether things are true or not. Maybe it is true, maybe it is false. Maybe one day it will be proved that he is right, and maybe one day it will be proved that I am not what he thinks."
Reporter: "Then will you leave Barcelona after the season?"
Guardiola looked at the ceiling, then sighed softly, "No comment."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
--
After the press conference, Zhang Kuang was invited to a separate lounge by officials from UEFA.
Platini is sitting inside with a serious expression.
"Mr. Zhang, what you said after the game caused a huge public outcry." Platini got straight to the point, "I need you to hand over all the chat records, screenshots, and ID information with the netizen 'Light of Justice' to us. UEFA will officially investigate."
Zhang Kuang nodded. "My agent will cooperate with everything you need and provide completely transparent information. However, before that, I also want to know one thing."
Platini:"You said."
Zhang Kuang:"Will the investigation results be made public?"
Platini looked at him and was silent for a while. "If it is true, it will be made public."
Zhang Kuang smiled, "Okay. I'll wait."
He stood up and was about to leave. When he reached the door, Platini stopped him from behind:
"Zhang!"
Zhang Kuang Look back.
Platini's expression was complicated. "You won a great game today, but you lit a fire that could burn really big."
Zhang Kuang Open the door, and the night breeze pours in from the outside.
"People are not afraid of fire, let alone Guangming. What they are afraid of is not being able to see the light of fire."
He walked out, and the Wembley night sky spread out behind him, with stars shining brightly.
After returning to the hotel, they returned to their respective rooms to put their luggage and were asked to assemble. Then they were all taken to the hotel's banquet hall, where Manchester United held a grand celebration banquet.
When Ferguson came in with the team members, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Zhang Kuang saw many Manchester United celebrities, as well as many top current players, as well as some top entertainment stars and politicians that they had seen on TV.
The door is closed.
Wembley's hustle and bustle was locked outside the heavy oak door of the banquet hall.
Inside is another world: the crystal chandelier illuminates every inch of the air, the champagne towers are stacked from the ground to waist high, the long table is filled with cold cuts, roasted meats and various desserts, and the silver dinner plates reflect tiny pieces of light under the light.
Manchester United booked the entire banquet hall of the five-star hotel next to Wembley Park. The waiters wore snow-white uniforms and shuttled among the crowd carrying trays. The smiles on their faces were polite and restrained.
But occasionally when I see a certain player, I still can't help but take a second look.
At this time David·Gill picked up the microphone. "Gentlemen and ladies, let us welcome today's Heros with the warmest cheers!
Tonight, they used the spirit and will of Red Devils to win the fourth UEFA Champions League trophy in team history for Manchester United in the face of adversity. Sir Alex Ferguson also led Manchester United to win his third UEFA Champions League trophy in his 24 seasons coaching Manchester United.
I don't think I need to say more about how difficult this UEFA Champions League was for Manchester United. Two goals were disallowed and a red card caused Manchester United to play 10 against 11 at half time. Zhang Kuang suffered multiple leg-breaking sliding tackles from the opponent. After we took the lead, we were overtaken, and then we equalized and overtook again.
If this were a movie, it would be the movie with the most twists and turns and the most exciting plot in the world. I think many people have something to say about this."
There was a burst of cheers and table knocking from the audience.
"First of all, let us give the warmest applause to welcome our boss: Mr. Malcolm Glazer to the stage to speak!"
The audience once again burst into warm applause and cheers.
Glazer stood up from the main table, adjusted the collar of his suit, and walked steadily onto the stage.
His smile tonight was more sincere than ever before. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether a capitalist's usual smile was sincere or professional, but at this moment, the smile really penetrated his eyes.
The team members named Manchester United not only earned the capitalist the championship honor, but also earned real profits.
Winning the UEFA Champions League championship brings a bonus of 9 million euros. The runner-up's bonus is only 5.6 million euros. If you win the championship, you will get an extra 4.4 million euros. How can the capitalists be unhappy?
From the UEFA Champions League group stage to the championship, they received a bonus of 60 million euros. This bonus alone is higher than the entire value of 90% of the teams in the world.
In addition to these direct bonuses, there are also benefits from the increase in stock prices, benefits from the increase in the brand, and...
It can be said that Manchester United won the championship and Glazer made a lot of money. Can he be unhappy?
"Gentlemen and ladies." He spoke with a steady voice, "Tonight we are gathered here to celebrate a great victory. Manchester United won the UEFA Champions League championship in the 2010-11 season.
The content of this game, coupled with Manchester United this season, deserves to be the winner tonight and deserves all the praise this season."
Bang bang bang! The whole audience applauded and cheered.
He paused and scanned the whole place.
"Sir Ferguson," he looked in the direction of Ferguson, "is a great coach. For thirty-five years, he has brought Manchester United to this height.
As the owner of the club, I can assure Manchester United fans around the world: As long as he is still coaching, our support will not stop.
With him here, Manchester United's pillar is there, Manchester United's spirit is there, and the current Manchester United team is the result of his hard work and spirit, so all Manchester United people have to thank him.
Sir Alex Ferguson, please accept my respect for you!" Glazer said and bowed slightly to Ferguson!
This is the greatest recognition and honor, and the audience applauded warmly.
Ferguson sat in the middle of the main table, crossed his hands on the table, and nodded slightly.
His expression was still the usual majestic one, but his cheeks were slightly bulging, and he chewed gum much slower than usual. Anyone who knew him well knew that this meant that the old man was suppressing a smile.
Glazer continued, "Rooney! His performance in the final was unparalleled. During the half of the game, he ran extremely diligently and sprinted most decisively.
Although two goals were disallowed, you still ran hard on the court, fought hard, and created opportunities for the team. This is the blood of Manchester United and the spirit of Manchester United. Manchester United thanks you for your efforts."
When Rooney heard such praise from Glazer, his eyes filled with tears and he was very moved. He raised his cup and saluted Glazer.
"Van der Sar!" Glazer's voice deepened sincerely, "He is about to end his career, but he used his last game to tell us what greatness means.
His saves, your command, your presence in the penalty area, he defended the opponent's attacks again and again, he is one of the greatest goalkeepers in Manchester United history."
Van der Sar toasted with a gentle smile on his face.
Evra next to him reached out and patted his shoulder.
Glazer read over one by one: Ferdinand, Vidić, Carrick, Giggs, Evra...
Every time a person's name is mentioned, there is a special description.
He said that when Carrick was sent off, 'At that moment I wanted to rush into the field and throw the referee out.'
He said that Giggs' is the living history of Manchester United. This championship adds another golden edge to your legend.'
Wait, everyone was praised by him.
Finally, he finally turned to the real protagonist of the night.
"Zhang Kuang!"
As soon as his name was spoken, cheers and whistles surged from the audience like a tide.
Zhang Kuang was a little embarrassed by this fight. He touched the table with his hand, looking for a glass of wine to soothe his throat. He found Carrick's whiskey. He picked it up and took a sip, frowning because it was so spicy.
Glazer smiled while watching this scene and continued, "I don't know how to describe his performance today, and I don't know how to describe his performance this season at Manchester United.
Just talking about today's game, there were three goals, one assist, and a life-or-death clearance on the goal line. In front of Jeon Shijie, he single-handedly snatched the UEFA Champions League trophy back from Barcelona's arms."
His voice rose a little. "Manchester United The list of the greatest players in history includes Best, Charlton, Robson, and Keane, there is Cantona, there is Beckham, there is Cristiano Ronaldo... and starting from today, Zhang Kuang's name will be engraved on the highest place together with these stars without any dispute."
This rating is extremely high.
The celebrities in the audience looked at each other. Beckham was sitting by the window, with his arms crossed, a smile on his lips, and a slight nod.
Bryan·Robson gave a thumbs up.
Glazer's speech lasted for nearly fifteen minutes, and he finally concluded. "The club never skimps on rewards for meritorious service, and will not make everyone who has paid for Manchester United sad.
The club will not let down everyone who sincerely contributes. I believe that as long as everyone in the club is heart-to-heart and works together, then Manchester United will continue to be brilliant in the future. Champions will be our normal state. At the end of every season, we will shout: 'We are the champions!'"
Applause burst out again.
After Glazer stepped down, Gill took the microphone. "Next, I would like to invite Sir Ferguson to say a few words for everyone."
When the old man came on stage, the audience stood up and applauded.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then put his hands on the edge of the stage and glanced around as he usually did when lecturing in the locker room.
"This championship is not easy." Ferguson's voice was lower than usual, but every word was as clear as hammering on a steel plate, "You all know what I mean, two goals were blown away, one person was sent off, we played the entire half with one less player, and our opponent was the most powerful Barcelona in the world.
Barcelona was called 'Cosmic Team' by the media before this game, and I agree with this name. This Barcelona is one of the strongest teams in history, maybe even the strongest, no one."
He paused and then emphasized his tone. "But the ten people Manchester United ran more than the eleven of them. I saw your running data on the sidelines. After Carrick was sent off, the average running distance of everyone on the field increased by 800 meters. What does this mean? It means that you are not playing football with physical strength, you are playing football with your will."
It was extremely quiet under the stage, and even the sound of the air conditioner could be heard clearly.
"This championship was won by the whole team's spirit of never admitting defeat or giving up." Ferguson's eyes stayed on everyone's face for half a second, and finally fell on Zhang Kuang, "Finally, Zhang, everything you did today, old man, I will never forget in my life. You are not only a player, you are also a warrior. Thank you, kid."
He handed the microphone to Gill and walked off the stage.
The applause started again and lasted for nearly a minute.
Gill wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "Next, we invite our captain, Vidić."
Vidić When he stood up, there were still champagne stains on his suit. He didn't clean it up and just strode onto the stage.
"I have joined Manchester United for five years. We have always believed that Manchester United can overcome all difficulties as its core spirit. However, today I almost thought that we would not be able to overcome the difficulties we face.
In that situation, I don't think any player can carry the team, but everyone saw the final result. With two crazy goals and a key clearance, Manchester United worked together as a team to withstand all the pressure and finally won the championship."
Vidić raised his glass. "Thank you, brother. Being able to be my teammate with you is the greatest honor in my life. Come, let's toast Zhang Kuang!"
"Here's to Zhang Kuang!" The whole audience shouted in unison.
Zhang Kuang stood up, holding a glass of red wine, and clinked it with his teammates.
The clinking sounds of cups clashing together sounded like the prelude to a concert.
Gill finally announced, "I would like to invite Mr. Hero and Zhang Kuang to speak on stage tonight!"
Zhang Kuang was pushed up by Rooney. He scratched the back of his head and walked onto the stage. He looked at the expectant eyes in the audience and cleared his throat. "You have all raised me up so high. What if I fall?"
The audience burst into laughter.
"Okay, let me say a few words. In fact, I don't want to be Hero, because once you become Hero, people will ask you to do this and that. Once you can't do it, then this Hero will be smashed to pieces by the fans who once loved him.
I am a layman, I like food, I like to enjoy, I have many shortcomings, so I am not suitable to be Hero.
On the court, you think I perform like Hero. In fact, I just get paid to do things. I received this salary, so I have to do my job well.
Of course, in addition to this, I also have a selfish motive, which is to score more penalties so that I can increase my worth and make more money.
(Speaking of this, the audience burst into laughter, everyone cheered and applauded!)
Finally, thank you to boss Glazer, thank you to CEO David, thank you to Sir Ferguson, and thank you to every teammate. Football is not played by one person. No matter how many goals I score, it will not change this fact.
Thank you for your support, which allowed us to survive this difficulty, injustice and despair, and finally won the championship, which provided a huge help to my increase in value. Thank you, thank you!"
He paused and then added, "That's it, drink!"
The whole audience laughed and applauded. Everyone liked Zhang Kuang's words.
Zhang Kuang doesn't want to be Hero in order to avoid being backlashed by fans after his final character goes bankrupt, but what he does is what Hero can do.
Therefore, many people like this statement, and they like the low-key attitude of China people.
