Hi everyone.My first trophy with United, finally! It took quite a few years for the club to win the FA Cup again, that special and unique tournament, and last Saturday we made it... Being able to win this Cup for you, after your unconditional support throughout the entire season, makes me feel absolutely happy and proud. You deserved it, for sure. The road to the final wasn't easy at all. And the same can be said about the game against Crystal Palace: it was thrilling, like a big final is meant to be. For everyone familiar with English football, I'm not revealing any secret by saying that this competition is different, genuine, and so it is the final at Wembley, with its amazing atmosphere. We saw it just a couple of days ago. The FA Cup final is an unforgettable experience: the organisation, the pre-match show, the tension during the game... Luckily for me, I have been involved in two and both of them ended up with me lifting the trophy. I feel privileged for that.
I have to say that 10 minutes before the end of the game things looked pretty different. After Puncheon's goal for Palace we didn't have much time to react. Luckily, Wayne made a great play, then came Felli's assist and I scored to take the game into the extra-time. Things got complicated again after Chris being sent off, but then it happened: Jesse scored a fantastic goal to get us the title and finish the season in the best possible way: celebrating with you one more title in this club's unbelievable history. It was a fantastic feeling: the season in the Premier League was not as good as we expected but, after going through some difficult moments, we never gave up and kept working to increase the club's record. I think we have to give value to the fact that it took 12 years for the club to win again the FA Cup.
我也要借此机会恭喜本周其他的杯赛冠军:拜仁、尤文、巴黎、布拉加和巴萨;全欧洲的杯赛都很让人兴奋。
I take this opportunity to congratulate other Cup winners of the weekend: Bayern, Juventus, PSG, Braga, Barcelona... There were very exciting games all around Europe!
正如你们所想到的一样,这是我本赛季的最后一篇周日。无论你们来自哪里,我想再一次感谢你们的支持、评论;也感谢你们每周一抽出宝贵的时间来阅读我的周记。我几年前开始写周记,如果没有你们,那么写周记对我来说毫无意义。对于你们在这个困难赛季中长久以来的支持表示一百万个感谢。我会试着用对这支球队的奉献和承诺来回报你们的支持,我总是拼尽全力。我可以举出一些瞬间:比如,我佩戴过曼联和西班牙国家队的队长袖标;我打了几乎60场比赛;作为红魔出场次数超过100(很幸运我没伤过);我享受这样与球队一起夺冠的美好瞬间;我从低谷中学到了很多;我能感受到你们的喜爱。正是因为这些的存在,我才想要继续踢球,继续与你们分享一些美好的瞬间。
As you can imagine, this is the blog's last entry of the season and I would like to thank you once again for your support, your commitment and your time to read these lines every Monday, wherever you are... I started this blog some years ago and it wouldn't make sense to write it if it wasn't for you. A million thanks for your support in this long and, at times, difficult season. I tried to pay you back with dedication and commitment to the team, always trying to give my best. I can highlight a few moments: for instance, I wore the armband of both Manchester United and Spain's national team, I played almost 60 games, more than 100 in total as a Red Devil (I was very lucky not to get injured), I enjoyed great moments like this first title with the club, I learnt from the bad moments, and I felt your affection. It's because of those things that I want to carry on and look forward to share more good moments with you. (, 下载次数: 12)
It's time for me to take a rest, switch off from football and recharge my batteries for the next season. I hope you have a great summer.Hugs to all!Juan
