Chapter 819 Goal: Champions League Champions!
When the whistle rang out at the end of the game, Manchester City players and staff who were ready to go on the sidelines rushed into the stadium, while Manchester City fans in the stands shouted in unison, and Wembley Stadium was in a state of fanaticism.
The players on the court all hugged each other, celebrating the team's third championship trophy this season and completing the great feat of the triple-champion. It can be said that this is the most significant triple-champion in the Premier League in ten years after Manchester United's triple-champion in 1999, and even surpassed Chelsea during the Gao Han coaching period.
From not having a championship for more than 30 years to the triple-winning championship in the season, Manchester City fans were overjoyed and somewhat unbelievable, which made each of them extremely crazy in the stands.
At the moment when the whistle sounded, Gao Han raised his hands above his head, raised his arms and cheered, then turned around and hugged the assistants around him one by one, thanking them for their support and assistance this season, especially Brian Kidd.
This experienced local coach in England has played a huge role in Gao Han's deployment and is the hero behind Manchester City's outstanding results this season.
After a brief celebration with his assistants, Gao Han quickly walked towards Chelsea's coaching area and headed straight for Scolari.
"Congratulations, Gao Han." Scolari congratulated first.
"Thank you, Felipe." Gao Han shook hands with him and hugged him politely, but he didn't know what to say.
He has never been very good at comforting others, so he can only say a few polite words just by just playing, avoiding the important things and making some polite words.
Scolari is not young anymore. Although he has no friendship with Gao Han, he is in the same circle. He knows a little bit and knows Gao Han's personality, and also responds positively.
At Scolari's level, it is difficult to affect him any more than win or lose.
After standing on the sidelines with Scolari for a while, Gao Han was about to walk back, but he saw Chelsea players walking down the court. Terry, Lampard and other players came over and hugged Gao Han and congratulated him on winning the triple crown.
After so many years, Gao Han still maintains a good relationship with them. He often calls and contacts. Sometimes when Gao Han transfers to London, he will specially make an appointment to get them out for a gathering.
Although Drogba has never played under Gao Han's command, he is also the first treasure that Gao Han has dug out. He is always grateful to Gao Han, and his relationship with Gao Han is no less than that of Terry, Lampard and others.
As for Joe Kerr, Ferreira and others, after Gao Han left Chelsea, they all lost their main position one after another. When they saw Gao Han, they felt a little mixed in their hearts and missed the years of the Blues that year.
Falcao and Ramirez are both players from Chinatown. They were both discovered by Gao Han and the main person continued to make an appointment. After transferring to Chelsea, they had no contact with Gao Han at all, but at this time they came over to congratulate Gao Han politely.

After defeating Chelsea with 3-0 without any danger, the triple-champion Manchester City celebrated unbridledly at Wembley Stadium, enjoying the joy and special treatment of the winners.
Chelsea has left the court early, and the entire Wembley Stadium belongs to Manchester City.
While the organizer was setting up the podium, Gao Han followed the convention and went to the comprehensive interview area and accepted interviews from media reporters from all over the world. He first expressed his affirmation of the players' performance in this game, and at the same time said that 3-0 did not reflect Manchester City's on-field performance well.
"I believe that everyone who has watched this game will not object to my words. We created countless opportunities in the first half, but unfortunately, the score is still zero to zero, which makes each of us feel very unfair."
When Gao Han said this after the game, everyone present was more sure of Manchester City's performance.
"One misjudgment, two beams, three pillars, I don't know how to explain what we encountered in the first half. Perhaps it was God who played a small joke with us. This was the first time in my coaching career, but I am very grateful to my players, who have endured the pressure at critical moments."
"During the break, I told them that we must play more patiently, that we must be more calm and calmer than our opponents, and we did a pretty good job in the second half, not only continued to maintain the advantage on the field, but also created opportunities continuously and finally scored goals, which was a very difficult thing for us."
All media reporters also agreed with Gao Han’s statement.
Everyone knows that the mentality of the showdown on the football field is very important, and it is a taboo to not conquer for a long time. Gao Han’s team can withstand the pressure even though they have the advantage but never score but have never scored. This is commendable.
But it can also be seen from this that Manchester City’s maturity and progress.
In fact, although this team was formed during the transfer period a year ago, most of the players are famous European players. In addition, Gao Han has integrated skills, Manchester City has finally matured and formed in full swing.
Gao Han himself is also quite satisfied with the team's performance this season.
"Our achievements in the triple-championship are the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the team. It is a very wonderful experience for the club, the players, and me. We are a team, and everyone plays a key role in the team, and the players have also played the highest level. They are worthy of these three championship trophys."
When media reporters asked Gao Han about the difficulties encountered in the early stage of the season and the doubts, Gao Han did not deny it.
“It’s very normal to have stress in the top league coaching, and even after we have achieved such a great result this season, the pressure we face next season will be even greater, but we have to learn to live and play under pressure.”
"I often tell my players that they don't need to think too much, they just need to be ourselves. If they don't perform well in this game, then we will learn from the lessons and start over in the next game. We will not give up any game and will work hard to win every game."
As for Manchester City, Gao Han expressed his gratitude to the club for its support and the fans' love.
"I have always said that the fans of England have left me with a deep impression. Manchester City is a team with a long history and I am very lucky to be able to take over such a team."
"In today's Manchester City team, we have the best players in the world, the most patient management, I can fully trust and rely on them, and when I encounter difficulties, they are always standing by me, encouraging and supporting all my decisions, and I think that's the key to our results this season."
After achieving outstanding results this season, expectations for Manchester City have generally increased, especially now, after playing domestic games, everyone has standardized their goals for the next season.
A media reporter asked on the spot, and the Manchester City spokesperson previously publicly stated that the team had formulated a specific transfer strategy, but refused to announce it. What they want to know now is whether Manchester City will stick to the superstar strategy of last season.
In response, Gao Han made it clear that he would not.
"As I just said, we have the best stars in the world, and there is no need for us to bring in more, because I have never believed that blindly building superstars is not a good thing."
"Of course, I'm not saying that there is no problem with our lineup. We still have some shortcomings and deficiencies, so we will strengthen these places this summer to make up for the team's shortcomings and prepare for the game next season."
When media reporters wanted to obtain more detailed information, Gao Han only revealed that he would do something about the thickness of the bench.
On the contrary, when talking about the goals for the next season, Gao Han seemed more high-profile.
"Everyone knows that in Manchester City's more than 100 years of history, European honors have always been a shortcoming. So far, we have only won the European Cup Winners Championship once, but this event no longer exists, so in European competitions, our honors are almost zero."
"When I coached Manchester City, I said that I hope to bring breakthroughs to the team, not only the stadium and domestic stadium, but also the European stadium. Manchester City has never won the Champions League championship. All fans have long been eager for this championship, so I regard this as our goal for next season."
When talking about the possibility of achieving the goal, Gao Han expressed his confidence.
"I have won the Champions League three times, the League Cup five times, and now the UEFA Cup. I know that the competition in the European arena is fierce, but what I want to say is that Manchester City has actually had the strength to compete with many giants in the European arena, but unfortunately, we cannot participate in European competitions."
Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled proudly, "This will undoubtedly be great news for our opponents."
All the media reporters present also smiled because what Gao Han said was the truth.
The Champions League without a cold season does not have a unique scenery, but it also gives other giant teams hope.
But no one underestimates the impact of high cold on the Champions League and even on European football.
All four teams in the Champions League semi-finals this season all have extremely profound marks of high cold, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
Gao Han finally smiled and said something that would make many European giant teams frightened.
"In the next season, we will compete in the Champions League as Premier League champions. My players and I will do our best to add a St. Berede Cup to Manchester City's century-old honor book!"
All the media reporters at the scene were in a panic.
No one expected that Gao Han would suddenly become so high-profile.
You should know that in his past coaching experience, Gao Han often responds to praise in a low-key manner. No matter how fierce the media reporters are, he will not participate. But this time he revealed the team's goals for next season in a high-profile manner. Could it be that he is so confident?
Among the many media reporters, Guardian Green Wald should be considered a reporter who knows Gao Han and Manchester City's current situation. He understands why Gao Han said that, because he wants to set a higher goal for the team.
Having such a superstar lineup formed by more than 400 million euros, if Gao Han is still as low-key as before, it will undoubtedly suppress the team's morale and curb the players' fighting spirit. Therefore, he is unpredictable and high-profile, just to set a higher and longer-term goal for the team.
That was the Champions League championship that season!
