Chapter 337 King of Europe (End)

In European football and even world football, in Spanish and European football circles, Angel Vera is very powerful. Not only is he the vice president of FIFA and a loyal ally of Blatter, he was also elected to the UEFA Champions League last year. First Vice-President of the Union.

安赫尔·维拉在1988年成为西班牙足协主席，1992、1996、2000、2004、2008、2012以及今年5月七次成功连任，如今已经是他在西班牙足协主席这个位置的第八个任期。

At the beginning of this year, after Platini stepped down due to a corruption case, Villa became the acting president of UEFA. He is also the favorite for the UEFA presidential election that will start in September.

Villa once worked as a professional player, which will be of great benefit to his career in the Football Association.

As a Basque, he cherishes Bilbao's tradition of valuing local players, which has allowed him to provide a lot of help to the Football Association in developing youth football.

Villa's background also helps him remain impartial in the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona, making him a balance beam within the Football Association.

After the 90s, as Villa entered UEFA, Spanish football people's expectations for him became even greater. Therefore, even though public opinion was once very dissatisfied with Villa for appointing the tactically conservative Basque Clemente as the head coach of the national team, Villa was successfully re-elected during the general election of the Football Association President. After all, Spanish footballers don't want Villa to lose in the domestic football association, causing Spain to lose its own representative in UEFA.

From 2008 to 2012, after the Spanish team won three consecutive major championships, Villa, the chairman of the Football Association, transformed into a hero that everyone admired. Even though Spain was in the abyss of economic crisis at the time, Villa was still able to give each international player a huge bonus with a stroke of a pen after the team won the trophy.

………………

Villa was also very regretful. After the Spain he supported was eliminated by Italy and missed the European Cup for three consecutive championships, he instead supported the French team to win the championship.

But now the French team he is optimistic about has also not won the championship, but fortunately the Portuguese team is not the kind of team that insists on negative football.

In fact, the Portuguese team is the team with the most goals in this European Cup. The Five Shields team has scored a total of 7 goals in 18 games, far ahead of the French team with the second most goals. The total goals of the host country The number is 13, so this championship can still be said to be a victory of offensive football.

When Deschamps came up to receive the award, Vera pulled him and said a few words: "It's a pity not to win. But you have done a good enough job, Didier."

Deschamps shook his head and said helplessly: "We are not very lucky..."

He meant that he met such a perverted player like Bruno, but he didn't expect him to score a hat trick in the European Cup final.

But to others, his words were too unreasonable - his opponent didn't show up the night before the game because he was harassed by French fans, and the top star and captain left the game early due to injury. This is not good luck for the French team. , what counts as good luck?

Vera smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard again next season, Didier. Your football is the trend!"

When Deschamps heard the UEFA president praise him so much, a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Vera."

But when he turned to leave, the smile on his face disappeared. Just now he was just forcing a smile, but at this moment he really couldn't laugh.

………………

When the last French member walked off the rostrum, the Portuguese players appeared on the court and lined up at the entrance below the stands.

Fans who are close to Portugal gathered in this stand to applaud and cheer for the Portuguese players.

The Portuguese players high-fived them and even hugged them across the railings of the stands.

Bruno was of course the most popular, and he even worried about how much hair he would have on his head at the end of the day.

The French players stepped off the high podium.

At this time, the live broadcast began to shout: "Next - let us welcome the - champion -"

Portugal fans shouted in unison: "Portugal——!!!"

"Yes! Welcome Portugal!!! They are the champions of UEFA Euro 2016!"

Amid huge cheers, the Portuguese players, led by the team's head coach Santos, walked up the steps one by one, all the way to the rostrum.

Everyone along the way wanted to congratulate the Portuguese coach and players, and many people hugged them warmly.

When Santos walked up, Vera patted his face and touched his head. He looked very happy. It was impossible to tell that he supported France more.

"You led Portugal to create a miracle, Mr. Santos." Vera praised.

"Thank you, Mr. Vera." Portugal's head coach said modestly, "This is the credit of the players. I just did what I should do..."

There was still a smile on his face that couldn't be wiped off.

Leading the team to the top of Europe is an achievement that he can enjoy for a lifetime.

………………

<divclass="contentadv">Afterwards, Santos took over the gold medal from Vera. After the Portuguese coach shook hands with Vera again, he turned around and showed his gold medal to the audience, winning the first wave of applause.

After each player wins the gold medal, there will be corresponding applause and cheers.

“This is an exciting moment!” The Portuguese commentator’s voice was trembling. “After missing the Delaunay Cup twelve years ago, Portugal finally reached the top of Europe today! Portugal! Created history! Created a miracle that belongs to them!"

Finally Bruno and Ronaldo walked up to Vera together.

"Congratulations, Bruno!" Vera stretched out her hand to Bruno.

Bruno held Vera's hand and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Thank you, Mr. Vera."

"Your performance is impressive and I'm sure tomorrow your name will be in every influential media outlet around the world."

After saying that, he hung the gold medal around Bruno's slightly lowered neck.

Bruno felt his neck sink. He glanced and saw the gold medal dangling on his chest.

The heavy gold medal, something few people dream of, is now truly worn around his neck.

This is another peak of his career. When he is about to turn twenty-two, he is about to win the first World Series championship trophy in his career.

Yes, although the Champions League is important, it is still inferior to the European Cup.

After all, this is the European Cup second only to the Hercules Cup in world football!

………………

However, compared to other Portuguese players, Bruno lacks a sense of national honor in his heart.

Compared to Portugal, his heart is still more inclined to the country that makes him dream.

However, in his current situation, it is unlikely that he will be able to put on the jersey of his dreams, let alone win a World Series championship trophy in another capacity.

Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but feel uninterested.

The Portuguese commentator did not know what Bruno was going through at this moment. He gave Bruno all the compliments he could think of: "Everyone knows why Portugal can reach the finals, even beat France, and win the European Cup. The championship trophy is because they have Bruno! There is a Bruno who can do anything!"

"Yes, omnipotent! In this final, Bruno showed us what 'omnipotent' means. In the midfield, he served as an organizer, instigating the team's offense; at the same time, he successfully defended the opponent many times The breakthrough of offensive players was the mainstay of Portugal's defensive end when they fell into a passive position in the second half. In the frontcourt, as a player with outstanding scoring ability, he even used a hat trick to help Portugal almost seal the victory in the first half!"

"When captain Cristiano Ronaldo left the game early due to injury, Bruno succeeded him and became the absolute core of Portugal and the spiritual leader of Portugal. There are also the expectations of hundreds of millions of Portuguese fans. This huge pressure is placed lightly on his shoulders. If there is nothing. At the team's most critical moment, he stepped forward. When everyone was at a loss, he gave everyone hope with three goals. He is everyone's hope, as long as you see him in On the court, everyone will feel at ease. I think... the word 'flag' appeared just for him..."

………………

After Bruno received the gold medal, it was Ronaldo's turn to receive the championship trophy.

As the eight-term president of the Spanish Football Association, Villa gradually became opposed to Real Madrid in the later period, but he was still very familiar with Real Madrid's flag player, so he also chatted with Ronaldo for several times before giving him a hat. Got the gold medal.

After Ronaldo received the gold medal, he did not move forward immediately like other players, but continued to wait there.

Vera turned around and picked up the Delaunay Cup from the trophy holder.

Everyone's attention was attracted, and many people couldn't wait to cheer.

But this is only sporadic. More people are holding their breath, waiting to burst out when the trophy is handed over to Ronaldo and lifted high by him.

On the rostrum, Villa picked up the trophy, turned around, smiled at Ronaldo and said: "Congratulations, Ronaldo. You and your teammates are now the best in Europe!"

After speaking, he handed the trophy to Ronaldo.

When Ronaldo's fingers touched the cold handle of the trophy, a throbbing sensation spread from his fingertips to his heart.

At this moment, Ronaldo finally confirmed again: All this is real, this is not a dream, this trophy does belong to them!

He took the trophy from Vera, and Queen's classic "We Are the Champions" played on the live broadcast.

Burgundy confetti sprayed from the ceiling and flew all over the sky.

Ronaldo turned around and raised the trophy high, announcing to the world: From today on, we are the real kings of Europe!
