Chapter 550: Triple Crown Celebration
Han Sen opened his mouth wide and said, "This ...... That's what I told the club, and didn't the Treble celebration come after the last round of the league? ”
Osvaldo waved his hand and said, "The club didn't expect you to be so popular beforehand!" Many media fans asked Laporta and Pep Guardiola if they would sell you at the end of the season, which made the celebration of the Champions League almost turn into a press conference about where Hansen went! Do you think the club will deliberately reveal your whereabouts so that reporters can simply ask you? ”
Han Sen thought about these unbelievable scenes, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”
In the away game against Deportivo La Coruna, Barcelona sent a pure substitute lineup, in addition to the unreplaced Xavi, Pique and Eto'o, Pinto, Cáceres, Toure, Silvinho, Gudjohnsen, Keita, Hleb and Bojan are all players who have wandered outside the main squad this season.
From the Champions League qualifier at home to Warsaw Krakow on August 13, 2008 to the final round of the league away to Deportivo La Coruna on May 30, 2009, Barcelona played a total of 38 league games, 2 Champions League qualifiers, 13 Champions League matches and 9 Copa del Rey matches. Barcelona had a chance to break two more records: the season record for goals scored and the record for away games won in the season. With four goals, Barcelona could become the most attacking team in La Liga history, but it is clear. Pep Guardiola is not going to risk the health of his players, with the attacking core of Andres Iniesta, Messi, Thierry Henry and Hansen not on the pitch if they can win away. Barcelona will be able to surpass Atletico Madrid in the 1995-1996 season and become the all-time leader with 14 away victories in the season.
Deportivo La Coruna took the lead in the 31st minute when Guardado crossed from the left and Botipo headed home from 10 yards. Barcelona didn't tie the score until the 89th minute, when Bojan picked up a cross and Samuel Eto'o chested the ball and calmly slotted home from eight yards. It was the Cameroonian's 30th league goal of the season. Samuel Eto'o worked hard to the end, although his goal could not help Barcelona end the season with a win or win the Golden Boot against Forlan. But the Cameroonians can still say goodbye to this season with pride. Deportivo Eto'o played his 200th competitive game for Barça, and his 90th-minute goal was his 130th for Barça, tying Rivaldo and joint third on the club's all-time scorer list.
Deportivo drew 1-1 with Barcelona. Let Barcelona end this season in La Liga with a winless record of 2 draws and 2 losses. But despite this, 87 points has set a record for the highest number of points since La Liga was changed to 20 teams. Eto'o's late goal not only prevented Barcelona from ending the season in an undignified manner with three consecutive defeats, but also improved Barca's goal difference from 69 to 70, breaking La Liga's all-time record. The total number of goals scored for the season was fixed at 105, failing to break the record of 107 goals set by Real Madrid in the 1989-1990 season. This game is also the 62nd official match that Barcelona has participated in this season, the most in history.
Of course, the most important thing is that Barcelona became the first treble winner in the history of La Liga!
The treble celebration took place the day after the team returned to Barcelona. In the afternoon, Hansen arrived at Camp Nou as requested by the team. A family portrait of the treble winner was taken at the Camp Nou, and in addition to the entire first team and manager Pep Guardiola, president Joan Laporta, technical director Begiristain and the entire coaching staff and team staff were all present. After the family portrait was taken, each player left one of the most precious photos of their lives in front of the three trophies.
In addition, the big four of Laporta, Begiristan, Pep Guardiola and Puyol took a group photo in front of the trophy, as did 13 players from the La Masia Academy: Pedro, Holkra, Pique, Valdés, Puyol, Sergio Busquets, Bodia, Victor Sanchez, Xavi, Bojan, Messi, Munesa and Iniesta.
"Let's take a picture of the two of us!" Han Sen took the initiative to suggest to Keita and Yaya Toure and others in the third world countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and of course this suggestion was agreed to by them, after all, only a few of them could form a circle.
After the group photo, the team changed into the commemorative T-shirts of the triple crown winners, wore the Champions League gold medal around their necks, boarded the club's special open-top bus, and began the city-wide celebration parade in Barcelona. More than 100,000 Barcelona fans poured into the streets to welcome the hero, chanting "Barcelona! Barcelona! We are the champions! The Barcelona players were also very excited in the bus, and the players opened the coke and sprayed each other. Many Barcelona players folded their flags into bandanas and wore them on their heads, while Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi wore hats.
After Han Sen came to Barcelona, in addition to the complicated training games, he had never watched the scenery of Barcelona from the height of the bus so relaxedly, so he did not choose to celebrate with his teammates, but quietly leaned on the railing at the top of the bus, smiling and watching all this.
After a half-day of rounding, the bus finally drove back to the Camp Nou before the night fell, and the grand ceremony also pushed the celebration of the night to a climax. And the tens of thousands of fans who attended the stadium filled the Camp Nou, singing praises to their heroes while shouting: "Barcelona!" Banzai! We are the champions! ”
During the period, the whole team played one by one in the broadcast of the live announcer, according to the habit of the star finale, first the substitutes and second-tier players appeared, and then the main play, and Han Sen's appearance happened to be listed in the penultimate eleventh, his appearance attracted the first small climax of the Camp Nou scene, the cheers of "handsome" were endless, but it was also mixed with some discordant discussions, it seems that the rumors at the end of the season have shrouded Han Sen.
Pep Guardiola's final appearance sparked the biggest climax, followed by a speech to the fans, as did the Barca players represented by Lionel Messi, Xavi and Puyol. When the host handed the microphone to Han Sen, Han Sen reluctantly said to the scene in jerky Spanish: "We are champions, thank you!" ”
The celebration lasted almost until the early hours of the morning, Xu Yun had already rushed to Madrid, and when he returned home, Han Sen still had a lingering hustle and bustle in his mind all day, and to his surprise, at the low wall door of his own courtyard, there were many large and small gift boxes, which seemed to be sent by Barcelona fans.
But when he returned to the house and opened them one by one, Han Sen found that not only Spanish fans, but also foreign fans and Chinese fans mailed gifts, this postman was really amazing, just waiting for the end of his triple crown celebration, he sent all the fans' gifts.
And the gifts of the fans are strange, the gifts of Chinese fans are a little orthodox, not the Han Sen photo album carefully made by the fans, or the T-shirts, dolls and other products related to Han Sen produced by the manufacturer, and the gifts of foreign fans are a bit strange, among which there is a CD, which is a collection of all the mistakes of Han Sen in Barcelona this season, such as missing the ball, such as being tackled, and even some indecent actions such as making faces and picking noses on the field, which made Han Sen cry and laugh, thinking that this plate can only be watched by himself and Xu Yun in the future.
Of course, almost all fans mentioned in the letter that they asked for autographs or photos of themselves, and the demands of Chinese fans were even more inch-deep, in addition to asking for Han Sen's own signed jerseys, Han Sen also asked for signed jerseys of Xavi, Messi and Henry by the way.
However, there is a letter that still aroused Han Sen's special attention, a fan from Qinghai, he said that his child has leukemia and his time is short, but he likes Han Sen very much, and hopes to get his signed jersey, if possible, he hopes that Han Sen can make a special trip to visit him when he returns to China.
