Chapter 633 Carnival Time

Bruno wanted to celebrate the victory with his teammates, but as soon as the game ended, he was surrounded by many media who poured into the stadium.

His teammates knew that he was the best player in the game and the focus of the media, so no one bothered him and let him be interviewed by reporters alone.

"This World Cup is over, and you have won the final championship. Does this mean that it was a successful World Cup, Bruno?" The reporter of "Record" came up with a microphone and asked the first question.

Bruno nodded vigorously. He had not yet recovered from the joy and excitement of winning the championship. He said repeatedly: "Yes! A very successful World Cup! We won the first World Cup in history, very successful!"

"So what do you want to say now?"

"Thank you teammates, thank you coach, thank you parents, thank you supporters, and... thank you myself!" Bruno said loudly to the camera.

"What a long list of thanks... Score two goals in the final and you will be the best player of the game. What makes you so successful?"

"The trust and help of my teammates, and our head coach Mr. Santos... He gave me enough trust and patience. I want to thank him today. Thank him!" Bruno thanked Santos twice. He was really grateful to the old coach. Before Santos, Bruno had not been able to gain a foothold in the Portuguese national team. It was Santos's appointment that allowed him to gradually gain a foothold in the Portuguese national team and become the core of the team's midfield. Although he worked hard enough, it was more because Santos trusted him enough.

………………

"Okay, Bruno. Let's talk about the two goals in the game. The first header was very unexpected. Was it deliberately arranged by Santos?"

"No, no..." Bruno shook his head, "It was my last-minute idea. In the past, when I got a free kick in a bad position, I was responsible for the penalty. But this time I wanted to give the French team a little surprise."

Speaking of this, Bruno laughed and said, "In the end, we did it!"

"The first goal was beautiful, but I think your second goal was more beautiful. Tell me how you decided to resolutely enter the penalty area to seek a shooting opportunity?"

"Intuition." Bruno pointed his finger.

Bruno didn't want to continue the interview. He wanted to be with his teammates and hug them. So he made a gesture to indicate that he would no longer accept the interview.

The person holding the microphone let him go, and the photographer continued to follow him and shoot beside him, tracking the top star of the game.

Bruno ran out of the siege of reporters and first ran to Ronaldo, opening his arms to him from a distance.

C Ronaldo was also being interviewed. As the captain of the Portuguese national team, one of the top three superstars in the world, and he also scored the key goal to tie the score in today's game, he was naturally the target of the media's pursuit. The reporters around him were no less than those chasing Bruno, and even more.

However, seeing Bruno get rid of the reporters and walk towards him, he also ended the interview with the reporters, walked towards Bruno, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Seeing that the two superstars of the Portuguese team had such a close relationship, the stands were full of joy and a deep red.

………………

After celebrating, C Ronaldo led the Portuguese players and began to shake hands with the players of the opponent French team.

Although the two teams were opponents in the game, many people were friends after the game.

For example, Bruno had Kante and Mbappe in the French team who were his teammates and friends in the club; and C Ronaldo and Varane were also teammates of Real Madrid.

Now that the game is over, it's time to talk to each other.

Bruno comforted Kante and Mbappe and chatted with other French players.

At the same time, the organizers were busy setting up the podium in the center of the stadium.

………………

At the award ceremony, the first individual awards were presented, including the best player, best newcomer, best goalkeeper, best scorer, etc.

Bruno is undoubtedly the most dazzling one in this World Cup. Not only did he become the top scorer of this World Cup with 7 goals, he also sent 3 assists, becoming the assist king of this World Cup, which also made him undoubtedly elected as the best player of this World Cup.

And Ronaldo, who scored 6 goals, and Kane, who also scored, became the silver boot and bronze boot of this World Cup.

In addition, Ronaldo also won the Silver Ball Award, and the Bronze Ball Award was awarded to the Belgian midfielder Hazard.

The best goalkeeper was awarded to the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois. The Belgian goal he guarded only conceded 6 goals in 7 games in this World Cup. He performed very well and was elected as the best goalkeeper.

The best young player award was given to France winger Mbappe. Bruno's club teammate scored a total of 4 goals in this World Cup. He was the best performing young player and there was no doubt that he was elected.

The Fair Play Award was given to the Spanish team. The FIFA Fair Play Award is given to the team that played the fairest in the World Cup finals. Only teams that enter the knockout stage are eligible for the award. The nomination list for the Fair Play Award is submitted and reviewed by the FIFA expert panel, and the winner is selected by the FIFA internal and external football-related expert jury. In the end, Spain was elected.

Since no one from Spain or Belgium appeared at the scene of the final, these two awards were not awarded.

………………

When Bruno stepped onto the podium with the best player trophy in one hand and the Golden Boot in the other, the entire Luzhniki Stadium cheered for him.

Even the fans of the French team were impressed by Bruno's performance on the field today!

In front of tens of thousands of French fans, Bruno still scored 2 goals and 1 assist despite being closely guarded, and was the number one contributor to Portugal's victory over France.

But facing this opponent who almost defeated the French team single-handedly, it was difficult for French fans to really hate him.

After the players received their personal awards, the referee team was awarded medals. Argentine referee Pitana led two players and the fourth official to the podium, and the award-giving team composed of the FIFA president, the host country's head of state, the heads of the two participating countries in the final, and the UEFA president presented them with awards.

In general, although today's referee team could not satisfy both sides, there were no obvious misjudgments, and they were still quite qualified.

After the referee team received the award, it was the turn of the runner-up French team to receive the award.

The French players who received the silver medal first looked listless. They lost the final and lost the opportunity to revenge Portugal.

The runner-up quickly went on stage to receive the medal and walked down.

The Portuguese players have been singing and dancing on the stage, looking forward to the moment when they will go to the rostrum.

………………

When the live broadcast announced "Now, please invite Portugal to the stage to receive the award!", the cheers of the Portuguese fans became louder, and then the Portuguese players lined up and walked to the long steps in such cheers, from the stadium to the rostrum above the stands.

There, the award-giving team consisting of FIFA President Infantino, the head of the host country, the heads of the two final participating countries, and UEFA President Ceferin were waiting to present them with gold medals and championship trophies.

The officials handed out medals to the players one by one, and Bruno's gold medal was hung by FIFA President Infantino. He hugged Bruno and said to him: "You did a great job, young man. Now you have made another history."

"Thank you, Mr. Infantino." Bruno has calmed down a lot.

"It's a pity that you are not Swiss, otherwise Switzerland may have won the World Cup." Infantino joked to Bruno and raised the gold medal in his hand.

Bruno lowered his head and let Infantino hang the gold medal around his neck.

"Congratulations, Bruno."

"Thank you, Mr. Infantino." The two hugged for the second time.

Afterwards, Bruno hugged and greeted several other people in the award-giving team. They were very enthusiastic about Bruno, especially the Portuguese President Rebelo de Sousa, who held Bruno and talked for a long time.

………………

The last person to receive the trophy from Infantino was the team captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

When he received the trophy, the live broadcast shouted: "Now, the champion is——"

"Portugal!!!" Tens of thousands of Portuguese fans shouted in unison.

In this deafening shout, Cristiano Ronaldo raised the seemingly heavy trophy in his hand high.

Red strips poured down from the ceiling, and the world-famous song "We Are the Champions" by the British Queen band sounded on the live broadcast.

The players squeezed to the middle and reached out to touch the Hercules Cup held high by the captain. This is the only goal they have worked hard for a month, and everyone wants to touch this supreme honor with their own hands.

Ronaldo saw Bruno next to him, and he simply handed the trophy to Bruno, saying reluctantly: "Here!"

Bruno took it with both hands, then turned his head and shouted to Ronaldo: "It's hot!"

The music was still echoing, the ribbons were flying in the air, and the Portuguese fans in the stands kept shouting: "Portugal! Champion! Champion! Portugal!"

After feeling the temperature of the trophy, Bruno raised the gold cup in his hand again!

………………

After the award ceremony, Ronaldo hugged the championship trophy tightly in his arms and ran into the locker room, as if he was afraid that someone would run away halfway.

This is the trophy he has dreamed of since he started playing football!

He has been chasing this trophy since Germany in 2006. Now 12 years have passed, and he has grown from a high-spirited teenager to the spiritual leader of Portugal today, and finally realized this dream in Russia.

The other teammates also ran back to the locker room with him, where the staff had already put champagne on the table. They were going to drink here before returning to the hotel.

Ronaldo put down the trophy and picked up a bottle of champagne first. After pulling out the cork, he pressed the bottle mouth with his thumb and shook it vigorously, then sprayed it towards the door, shouting as he sprayed: "Ahaha! Oh oh oh! This is a celebratory wine! Guys, let's have fun!"

Every teammate who comes in will cover their face with their hands, lower their heads and rush in. After rushing in, they do the same thing, but their target is Ronaldo...

The Portuguese captain who took the lead in launching the war was surrounded and annihilated by his teammates, and ended up in a disastrous defeat. His whole body was soaked in champagne.

After most of the bottle of wine was sprayed out, Ronaldo poured the remaining wine into the trophy and drank it all in one gulp.

His approach was followed by other teammates, who poured their own wine into the trophy and took turns drinking.

………………

When it was Bruno's turn, Ronaldo poured him another bottle, almost filling the small trophy.

Then when Bruno picked it up and wanted to drink, Ronaldo suddenly held the cup holder and pushed upwards, and a full glass of wine splashed Bruno's face. Eyes, nose, mouth, ears all filled with wine. He was choked to the point of bending over and coughing, while Ronaldo and others laughed on the sidelines.

"Fuck you, Chris!" Bruno cursed while wiping the wine from his eyes.

"Ha! This is a special reward for the best in the game!"

Ronaldo said, picked up another bottle of wine and poured it over Bruno's head. Bruno had just wiped his eyes and face when he was doused with another bottle of wine.

This time he learned to be smart, curled up his neck, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let them toss him.

More teammates, like Ronaldo, poured all the wine in their hands on Bruno.

The Portuguese TV station that came in to film captured the scene, but they did not survive.

After torturing Bruno, Ronaldo led everyone to target reporters. Then the champagne in his hand showed its power again, spraying the camera lens into a blur.

Head coach Santos, who returned to the locker room after the press conference, naturally could not escape. He was doused with wine by Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno who were hiding on both sides at the door.

A group of people played for half an hour before someone started to take a shower.

Everyone's excitement has subsided a little, mainly because there is no more champagne in the locker room for them to splurge. Empty bottles fell to the ground, and the trophy was also stained with alcohol.

Ronaldo carried the trophy into the bathroom and said he wanted to take a shower for the trophy.

Bruno washed the sticky wine from his hair, and after washing his whole body, he came out to pick up the wine bottles scattered on the ground and put them on the central table.

These bottles are potentially dangerous. If any teammate comes out and doesn't pay attention to his feet, he might step on the bottle and fall. If he falls and gets injured, it will be extremely sad.
