The entire Tottenham team did not make any further stops in Scotland and took the bus back to London that afternoon.
That night, fans from White Hart Lane crowded into the streets and alleys to celebrate the team's victory.
Even the Mayor of London ordered the dispatch of riot police to escort the team's bus.
When I saw the bus with the team's logo painted on it, flashing lights clicked on both sides of the road, and the leading flag bearer, along with the team flag, made the headlines of the next day's newspapers.
Fans stood on both sides of the road, stretched out their hands outside the isolation rope, held signs, and kept shouting that every player had no name.
"Aaron!"
"Beba!"
"Robbie!"
"Bell!"
"DONG,DONG,DONG,DONG!!!"
The bus moved slowly, and as the bus passed by, the fans behind it immediately followed.
They held up banners and invited the team members in the car to come down and revel with them.
"Captain, is everyone in the city here?" Lennon lay on the car window, looking at the scene outside.
"At least the Arsenal and Chelsea fans didn't come." Robbie Keane leaned on his chair and fell asleep, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"That's enough!" Lennon smacked his lips, "I've never seen so many fans! Oh my God, they're like zombies in an apocalyptic movie!"
"Hahaha, then don't get caught by them, those 'big' fans might suck you up!" Berba joked from the side, "Of course, if you have DONG's physical fitness, you might still be able to do it!" Survive.”
Before Wang Xiaodong could say anything, Robbie Keane said sourly: "Stop talking nonsense, our DONG has a girlfriend, and she is the famous Hermione!"
"That's right, DONG seems to have spent all his energy learning magic!"
"DONG, show us, what exactly did you learn at Hogwarts?"
Hearing his teammates' teasing, Wang Xiaodong immediately stood up and lifted his clothes, revealing his abdominal muscles and the lip marks left by the little witch: "The first magic I learned at Hogwarts was petrification. To be honest, this magic is quite easy to use!"
"Hahahahahahaha~~~" Everyone on the bus burst into laughter.
...
The team won the Europa League and the season double.
In the early morning of the next day, the streets and alleys of London were reporting on this fierce competition.
Some people say that the Chelsea boss has offered Wang Xiaodong a high price that is difficult to refuse, others say that Sir Alex Ferguson is seeking to buy Berbatov, and others say that Lennon is also interested in Liverpool, hoping to play the role of Owen.
The Tottenham players are still immersed in dreamland. Even if the club and Martin Joel strictly prohibit everyone from drinking, the players who return home will inevitably have a drink with their relatives, and some even fight with their significant other until dawn.
Not being able to celebrate after winning the championship really made many players feel depressed.
There is no way, the FA Cup final will be in three days, the players must tighten their nerves and stand up for this last duty.
Sure enough, after promoting Tottenham's Double for a day, the English media began to exaggerate the following FA Cup final.
The Sun: Launching a challenge to red.
"The new Wembley Stadium and nearly 100,000 expectant fans witnessed not only a wonderful game, but also an impact on the red throne."
"Manchester United and Tottenham, Ferguson and Martin Joel, all see this game as the 'summary statement' of the season."
"So caution is inevitable. But no matter what the outcome of the game is, no matter how proud the winner is and how sad the loser is, it will be exciting."
"Because this is a challenge to red from other colors in the Premier League, and it is the first brand to endorse in the red-white war!"
Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the "ancient" era, the three reds have dominated the English league for almost sixty or seventy years.
Especially after the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal have been unstoppable and have occupied the top spot for a long time.
Abramovich moved to Chelsea four years ago.
After the transformation of the Russian rich, the Blues successfully won consecutive Premier League championships and achieved resistance to the red monopoly.
Now, another touch of white stands out, impacting the ancient red.
Finally, "The Sun" concluded that the Premier League will usher in a situation where a hundred flowers bloom and all the heroes compete for glory.
The Premier League will become the new mini-World Cup!
While "The Sun" emphasized the color ownership of the Premier League, "The Times" conducted a rational analysis based on the current situation of the two teams.
The first is Manchester United. In terms of lineup, French forward Saha will be absent due to injury, and together with him will be right back Gary Neville.
"Saha cannot play. He injured his knee at Milan and on Monday we had another scan and the problem was clear. For Saha, the question now is what to do next and we will make a decision next week, maybe Consider surgery."
The old prince seemed to have lost patience with the French.
He has been plagued by injuries more or less all season, and even the media has begun to question the Frenchman's future at Manchester United. After missing his last chance at the end of the season, Saha's days at Old Trafford may really be numbered.
In addition, Park Ji-sung injured his right knee during Manchester United's Premier League match against Blackburn Rovers on April 1.
For the Asian Cup, Park even went to the United States for surgery at a hospital in Colorado. The attending physician is Stedman, a well-known knee surgery expert who has helped Shearer and Irving return to the game.
As for Tottenham, in addition to Malbranque suffering a slight injury in the previous Europa League game, main center back Ledley King also suffered some thigh strain.
This meritorious veteran of Tottenham is likely to miss the last FA Cup match, which means that all the players playing for Tottenham will be young players.
On the other hand, Manchester United has been preparing for war since winning the championship at the end of the league.
There are no other non-combat attritions other than those injured previously in the league.
Tottenham have just finished a fierce Europa League match, and the physical strength of all players will definitely not be able to return to its original upper limit within three days. Not only that, but mentality may also be a problem.
Some players will slack off because of this, and some players may be careless. Generally speaking, whether they are happy or sad, it is difficult for a team with different mentality to exert its full combat effectiveness.
From this point of view, Tottenham is not necessarily better than the Red Devils Manchester United, who have been accumulating strength for a long time.
In addition, British News Agency expert Lusby wrote an article listing four major considerations for both parties.
1. Block Ronaldinho and Rooney
It seems simple to let two players flame out in an 11-man team, but don't forget that the two football talents of Ronaldo and Rooney are the most precious assets in Manchester United. They are often "unstoppable."
2. Win the midfield battle
Ronaldinho, Giggs, Scholes and Carrick VS Wang Xiaodong, Huddlestone, Jenas, Lennon
Facing Manchester United's excellent collision ability and physical confrontation ability, will Tottenham's mobile Great Wall be effective again?
3. Star PK
Berba VS Rooney, Wang Xiaodong VS Ronaldinho, Robbie Keane VS Giggs
Although stars cannot determine the outcome of a game, they can often influence the course of the game.
In the past games, there were countless scenes where China Dong single-handedly helped Tottenham win.
Although both he and Ronaldinho are known as talented stars in the world, from a team perspective, Manchester United does not lack a Ronaldinho in many games, but Tottenham must have Wang Xiaodong.
4. Beware of Ferguson
What does a coach have to fear?
He can't go on the field and directly participate in the game?
But judging from Manchester United's past experience, Tottenham must focus on guarding against this veteran opponent.
According to Manchester United's tradition, they might give Tottenham a hard blow at the last moment of the game!
As soon as Rusby's article came out, it immediately attracted the approval of fans all over England except Manchester United.
In particular, Manchester United's inexplicable penalty kick at the end of the game and Ronaldinho's heroic performance in the opponent's penalty area this season may become the key to deciding the game.
For this reason, Martin Joel even made a public appeal before the game, hoping that Ronaldinho would stop diving. "The game should be played normally and if someone dives and provokes and tries to get the opponent a red card, I will be very disappointed."
"Ronaldo is a very good player. I hope he plays well, enjoys the game and plays a good game, but only in a normal way."
"I hope he will hold himself to the standards of a superstar, which means you have to respect your opponents and compete fairly."
"I would be very, very sad if the FA Cup final went badly. It should have been a real final and the new Wembley deserved to see it. The end result should be a brilliant winner and one to be proud of. loser."
In this regard, other Tottenham players also stood up and spoke out, supporting their coach's remarks.
Faced with the overwhelming "unfounded" accusations from Tottenham, both Manchester United and Ronaldinho were very angry.
Especially Wang Xiaodong's joke: "It's true that Ronaldo and I are friends, but if he dares to fall in front of me, it means he must be injured and even go to the hospital!"
The provocation in his words was extremely obvious, and even contained a hint of threat.
That night, Xiao Luo called and complained about Wang Xiaodong's rudeness.
In the bedroom, Wang Xiaodong held his girlfriend with one arm, leaning against the pillow, and holding the phone in the other hand.
"Cristiano, I admit that it is a very good tactic, and I also appreciate the players using this method to win for the team in order to win."
"But appreciation is appreciation, and if the victims were my team, I would be very angry."
"Fuck, DONG, how many times have I told you, it was not a dive, it was not a dive!!!" Ronaldinho was furious on the other end of the phone. Now that he has both fame and fortune, what he hates most is what the media says. He likes diving.
"Okay, okay, you're not diving, you're not diving..." Wang Xiaodong said perfunctorily on the phone.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiaodong let out a long breath: "It doesn't matter whether you fake or not, the important thing is that I really cum now..."
Xiao Luo: "???"
