Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Although the intensity of the game and the long-term physical exertion made everyone exhausted, Li Lei seemed energetic and excited when facing the reporters.

He responded to the reporters' questions with a smile, and every answer revealed his cherishment and joy for this victory.

"This championship is of great significance to us, and so is every championship. This is a recognition and reward for our struggle over the past season."

Li Lei's voice was firm and passionate, and it was obvious what this trophy meant to him and the entire team.

When asked who should be the best player of the game, Li Lei said without hesitation: "If I were to choose, I would give it to Joe Hart or De Bruyne, they deserve this honor!"

"Liverpool is an excellent team with unparalleled offensive capabilities."

"Yes! They once caused us a lot of trouble, so this trophy is so precious."

During the entire interview, Li Lei answered fluently, which not only reflected his professionalism, but also showed his deep understanding and love for football.

The questions raised by the reporters covered all aspects of the game, from tactical choices to personal performance. Li Lei answered every question frankly and in detail without any reservations.

At the end of the interview, both the reporters and Li Lei seemed very satisfied.

As the reporters gradually dispersed, Li Lei left with a smile, and the celebration within the team was still waiting for him!

When Li Lei returned to the locker room, a strong smell of champagne hit him.

The whole room was filled with laughter, and the spraying champagne liquid was like a waterfall that sprinkled every corner, decorating the locker room into a carnival place.

The faces of teammates were filled with joy after release. They rushed to touch the shining trophy one after another, and everyone was immersed in the joy of holding the cup.

Although the gold content of the League Cup is not high, for Manchester City's players, this trophy symbolizes the recognition of their efforts this season and is a clear sign that they are on the right path.

More importantly, they defeated Liverpool in the final, which is not only a trophy, but also a major psychological victory over a strong opponent.

At this time, Manchester City's chairman Mubarak also appeared in the locker room with a satisfied smile on his face.

He walked towards the players with a stack of checks in his hand, and solemnly handed one to each of them.

Mubarak's words revealed great satisfaction with the team and his expectations for the future. "This is what you deserve. In addition to the championship bonus given by the club, there are also some personal rewards from me."

"I will not be stingy with bonuses for any player who fights for the honor of the championship. At the same time, I also hope that you can play better games in future games!"

It is not difficult to see from the chairman's expression and actions that the Middle Eastern tycoon is very satisfied with Manchester City's championship performance.

The players expressed their gratitude for this sudden generosity, and cheers broke out in the locker room again. Everyone felt the support and trust from the club's top management.

Mubarak's behavior not only boosted the morale of the players, but also deepened their sense of belonging and loyalty to the club.

As the celebrations continued in the evening, the atmosphere in the locker room became more and more enthusiastic.

With the end of the trophy ceremony and the short celebration in the locker room, Manchester City players began to pack up their equipment.

They changed their wet jerseys, put them in their sports bags, and quietly prepared to leave the stadium.

Without the usual carnival party that may accompany a victory - drinks and beauties, this celebration is limited to cheering in the stadium and brief exchanges in the locker room.

After all, the season is still going on, and they can't let a temporary victory affect future battles.

The players boarded the bus waiting outside the stadium one after another, passing through the sparse crowd around Wembley Stadium.

The atmosphere in the car was calm and orderly. Everyone knew that despite the victory tonight, the next schedule was also full of challenges.

The two-line battle of the Champions League and the league, as well as the game against Liverpool again in the near future, all require them to deal with it in the best condition.

Three days later, they will face Liverpool away.

This game is not just a regular league, but also a contest of new and old hatreds.

Liverpool, who just lost to Manchester City in the League Cup final, will undoubtedly go all out to seek revenge.

Manchester City needs to consolidate their advantage and prove that this victory is not just accidental.

The street scene outside the car window quickly recedes in the night. The players either close their eyes to rest or talk in a low voice. Everyone is thinking aboutPrepare for the upcoming challenges.

In such a high-pressure environment, every game may directly affect the final results of the season.

The bus finally arrived at the team's training base, and the players got off one by one and walked towards their vehicles.

After returning home tonight, what is needed is sufficient rest and recovery so that they can appear on the training ground in the best condition tomorrow.
