When the match entered stoppage time, the fans in the stands could barely contain their excitement.

Some crazed fans started rushing down from the stands towards the field, disregarding everything.

Security personnel were running around trying to intercept them, and the stadium DJ kept broadcasting, hoping the fans would remain calm. The fans could celebrate wildly in just a few minutes.

These extreme fans were only a minority, after all; most fans were able to restrain themselves.

Manchester City fans rarely wanted a match to end quickly, but this time, they desperately wanted time to pass faster.

When the stadium clock showed that three minutes of stoppage time had elapsed, referee Clattenburg didn't hesitate and blew the final whistle.

Three to one!

Manchester City defeated Liverpool.

They clinched the Premier League title for the 16-17 season with six games to spare!

"Champions!!!"

"Champions!!!"

Almost at the same moment, the 60,000 fans in the stadium, the countless supporters who couldn't get in, and the local Manchester City fans watching the game in front of screens.

And all the Manchester City fans around the world who were waiting for this moment, couldn't contain their excitement.

They cheered to their hearts' content.

"Viewers in front of the screen, all Manchester City fans, let's shout it out together, Manchester City! Are the champions!!!"

As commentator Zhan's deep and powerful voice rang out, the entire broadcast room was about to explode.

"6!!!"

"Champions!"

"Champions! Champions!!"

"6666!!"

"Manchester City!!"

"Manchester City!!"

"Premier League Champions!"

"A Manchester City fan of thirty years sends congratulations!"

"A Manchester United fan of fifty years sends congratulations!"

"An eighty-year-old Burnley fan congratulates Manchester City!!"

"Wang Baobao from Shenyang Institute of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Class 091, sends congratulations!!"

"I represent all the students of Class 5, Senior Year, Lianhai No. 1 High School, to congratulate Manchester City on winning the championship!!"

"Fans all over the country congratulate Zhao Gang, congratulations to Manchester City for winning the championship!!"

"Champions!"

"We are the champions!!"

"Oh my god..."

"Xiao Zhao is amazing now..."

"He won the league title as soon as he entered the Premier League!"

"We also have a champion player from a top European league!"

"Charge, charge!!"

"I regret not being there, but I'm even more excited than the audience there! Keep it up, Xiao Zhao!!"

De Bruyne covered his face, tears streaming down in excitement.

Aguero hugged Zhao Gang tightly, and a group of players surrounded them, unable to hold back their tears.

All the players on the bench had rushed onto the field, waving their jerseys, jumping and gathering together.

Everyone was encouraging each other, thanking each other.

Without any one of them, they couldn't have achieved what they had now.

The security guards at the stadium could no longer stop the fans from rushing down.

The team staff quickly gathered around the players, urging everyone to return to the locker room as soon as possible.

Otherwise, something unexpected might happen.

It would be a real loss if someone got injured during the celebration.

This wasn't a championship celebration, it was just a league match in which they had clinched the title early.

It wasn't time for a real celebration yet.

Security couldn't stop the fans, but they could escort the players off the field.

Zhao Gang looked up at the huge blue flag waving and fireworks going off, the smoke filling the stadium.

The Premier League would probably fine them for it.

But that wasn't a big deal for Manchester City.

"Ah!!!!"

The fans opened their arms and sprinted like crazy, chasing after the players leaving the field.

There weren't enough security personnel, so they could only protect Zhao Gang, Guardiola, De Bruyne, and Aguero.

Some substitute players, and even some starting players, weren't adequately protected.

Clearly, the Manchester City management had underestimated the fans' enthusiasm.

They had won championships before and had some experience, but this season, Manchester City's performance had been too fierce, becoming a behemoth in the league, winning the title with six games to spare, and knocking out Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage to enter the quarter-finals.

They had won the League Cup, and were still in contention for the FA Cup.

Such a glorious record had brought the fans' enthusiasm to the extreme.

They were using this early title win as an opportunity to express their passion and love for the players.

It far exceeded the passionate scenes of past championship celebrations.

Fans ran around, chasing after the isolated players.

Players who were slow to run had their clothes torn off, leaving only their shorts, showing off their very good physiques.

Aguero ignored the security's attempts to stop him and rushed into the crowd, only to come out moments later with his bare ass showing.

If it hadn't been for the security's best efforts to protect him and surround him, the scene would have been broadcast around the world.

Zhao Gang was startled by these crazed fans, and he quickly looked for Ollie.

Fortunately, Ollie and her friends were still in the stands, not daring to move, and many security guards had already rushed over there.

These players' families had to be protected.

This night was destined to belong to the people of Manchester City!

This night, the sky over Manchester was of course black, but it would soon turn blue!

And it would be blue for a long time to come!

Manchester United fans were disappointed and could only listen to the noisy celebrations outside, and the countless fireworks rising and falling.

After a brief celebration in the locker room, the Manchester City players went home.

This was just an early title win, it wasn't time for a real celebration yet!

More importantly, they had an even more important match in three days.

The Champions League quarter-final, at home against the Italian Serie A giants, Juventus.

While Manchester City was preparing intensely, the Italian media had already begun to build hype for this Champions League knockout match.

Because of the Golden Boy Award, the Italian media knew more about Zhao Gang than most of the media in Europe.

In particular, Karin from «Tuttosport» had interviewed Zhao Gang, and editor-in-chief Moreno had written a special report about Zhao Gang.

At that time, Zhao Gang was far from being as famous as he was now.

Moreno had already regarded Zhao Gang as a leading figure in the football world of the future.

Hope blooms, miracles are born, was his assessment of Zhao Gang.

He was also the first to propose that the two-pole era of Messi and Ronaldo was coming to an end, and that in the next two or three years, there would be a three-legged balance of power, and in another three to five years, the football world would have a single leader.

His views were the subject of much criticism.

But just half a season later, it seemed that everything was really going the way Moreno had said.

It was both gratifying and frightening.

And Moreno, as a professional media person, resisted the pressure and rejected GD president Gramana's proposal to exclude Zhao Gang from the Golden Boy Award shortlist, which made Zhao Gang admire this editor-in-chief.

So after that, «Tuttosport» got a lot of first-hand information about Zhao Gang.

Now that Manchester City was facing Juventus, «Tuttosport» naturally published several analyses and interviewed Zhao Gang by phone.

These first-hand reports would naturally be very eye-catching and attract a lot of traffic.

Moreno felt that sticking to his principles and offending Gramana by putting Zhao Gang on the shortlist was like winning a god of wealth.

Moreno believed that a Golden Boy Award was nothing to Zhao Gang, and even if he didn't win, he wouldn't have much regret.

And from the current situation, if Zhao Gang really didn't win, it would only be the regret of the Golden Boy Award.

«Tuttosport» might lose its authority.

Now, not only had «Tuttosport» maintained its due authority and fairness, but it had also maintained a very close relationship with Zhao Gang, the future star.

The greater Zhao Gang's future achievements, the more famous Moreno would become.

Moreno was already planning to reveal, through some kind of accident, that Gramana had forced him to exclude Zhao Gang from the Golden Boy Award candidates when Zhao Gang's reputation took another step forward.

At that time, Moreno and «Tuttosport» would gain huge traffic and attention.
