No. 1145: We are the champions!
The Dutch team walked to the podium, surrounded by fans on both sides of the steps.
This was not the case with the World Cup for two years, where FIFA placed the awards in the centre of the pitch.
Since Platini became UEFA president, he has brought UEFA-organized matches back to tradition, allowing players to take to the podium surrounded by fans.
This allows fans to have a close contact with the players, which can reduce the distance between the players and the fans.
The Dutch players high-fived with the outstretched hands on both sides, and the Dutch trident passed by a scream, and even a female fan fainted happily after high-fives with Chen Fan......
Captain Robin van Persie was at the front, and the Prime Minister of Ukraine presented him with a commemorative medal for the championship.
The commentator of Milan Sports said jokingly: "Let's guess, will it be Platini who presented the award to Chen?" ”
In the end, it was not Platini who presented Chen Fan with the award, but FIFA President Seppat Blatter.
The commentator of Milan Sports said with a smile: "As a supporter of Barcelona, Platini did not give Chen the award because he is a Real Madrid player!" Of course, this is a joke, don't take it seriously! ”
Blatter smiled and hung the medal around Chen Fan's neck: "Congratulations!" Tonight was fantastic! ”
Chen Fan said modestly: "Thank you!" I still have a lot to improve! ”
Blatter's face remained unchanged, but he smiled in his heart: Chen, if you improve again, what chance do others have?
After a group of UEFA and FIFA bigwigs and the Prime Minister of Ukraine presented the Netherlands with a medal, an exciting scene is about to come - the presentation of the championship trophy!
Van Persie came to Platini and received the Delaunay Cup, the highest honor in Europe, from Platini!
The trophy was named in honour of the first UEFA secretary-general, Frenchman Henri Delaunay.
Designed and made in 1960 by Arthur Bertrand of Paris, the trophy is engraved in French with the words "UEFA Nations Cup" and the smaller number "Henri Delaunay Cup".
In 2006, UEFA created a new European Championship trophy specifically for the European Football Championship.
UEFA recast the Delaunay Cup because the previous trophy was damaged during the celebrations that followed France's Euro 2000 triumph.
After Van Persie received the Delaunay Cup from Platini, he turned to face the fans, raised the trophy and shouted:
"We are champions! The Netherlands are the champions! ”
Van Persie's toast exploded the entire Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, and countless cheers, screams, and whistles rang out.
In an instant, brilliant fireworks were set off around the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, and the atmosphere reached its peak!
……
More than 2,000 kilometers away, Jane's huge cheers resounded in the land of the Netherlands, and countless fans wore Dutch flags, calling friends to the streets, shouting: "We are champions!" ”
Some of them had a model of the Delaunay Cup in their hands and held the trophy aloft......
The Dutch police were immediately dispatched to prevent the radical fans from doing anything out of the ordinary, in addition to maintaining order.
The whole of the Netherlands was rejoicing, basking in great joy.
……
At the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, in front of the rostrum, Dutch fans surrounded Van Persie and howled excitedly, and the European Cup, which lasted for more than 20 days, finally ended.
After a tough race, the Dutch team defeated all the giants and stood on the top podium and became the biggest winner!
Van Persie walked off the podium with the trophy and jogged around the field with his teammates on the turf, wanting to share this glory and pride with the fans.
Then, they came to the center of the court and posed for a group photo!
This photo will forever remain in the history of football in the Netherlands.
The families of the Dutch players also had the pleasure of enjoying this moment of glory as they walked out of the stands onto the pitch.
Chen Fan regretted that Emily didn't come, since she was pregnant, she hadn't been to the scene to watch Chen Fan's game.
The reporters on the scene immediately seized the opportunity to interview the Dutch players and Donny van Marwijk.
Van Marwijk said to the reporter in front of him: "This is a wonderful moment, all your efforts have been rewarded in the greatest and richest way!" ”
"Thank you to the fans at the scene, thank you to all the fans, they are the motivation to move us forward!"
"Thank you to all the players, thank them for their dedication over the past 20 days, as well as their sweat and wisdom!"
A Dutch journalist immediately asked: "Have you thought about Chan's hat-trick in the final?" ”
Van Marwijk said with a smile: "I thought before the game that he would score in the final! After all, he is in very good form in this European Championship and very consistent! ”
"But I didn't expect him to score a hat-trick! After all, no one had scored a hat-trick in the final before! ”
On the other side, Robben, who was holding his daughter, was surrounded by reporters, and a German reporter asked: "Did you think of Chen scoring a hat-trick before the game?" You know, no one has done it before. ”
Robben raised his eyebrows: "Of course, of course I could have imagined that he would score a hat-trick!" ”
"Just because no one has done something for him doesn't mean he can't do it too, and he's broken fewer records?"
Then he wrenched his hand and said: "Take this cup as an example, the European Cup goal record, the hat trick record ......"
After he finished counting, a British reporter asked, "Chen has performed so well, don't you have jealousy in your heart?" ”
The scene suddenly cooled down, and the other reporters looked at the reporter who asked the question like idiots.
Some reporters were also excited, "Robben angrily scolded British reporters after winning the championship!" Look at what good news this is......
The British reporter who asked the question turned pale, ready to meet Robben's outburst.
Robben was obviously stunned after hearing this question, and then said, "Jealousy? ”
"That's a good word!"
The British journalist's face turned even paler.
"If I was still a little jealous of him in the World Cup two years ago, then I am not a little jealous of him in this European Cup!"
"Two years ago he was less than 20 years old, but he did what a lot of people couldn't do and became a hero of Dutch football," Robben said. To be honest, I thought I was going to be a hero in the Netherlands......"
"But two years later, he shattered that trace of jealousy in my heart with his steady and amazing performance!"
"Take this European Championship as an example, if he hadn't stepped up at a critical moment, maybe we wouldn't have had a chance to step on the stage of this final, let alone be the winner!"
"I'm so proud to have teammates like that! I feel lucky to have such great teammates! ”
As soon as Robben finished speaking, the British reporter who asked the question quickly returned to normal, watched him applaud loudly, and began to applaud.
Other reporters also nodded and applauded.
