Football King Bale

On the morning of April 6, 2013, it rained heavily again in Manchester.

Just when people thought that today's Manchester Derby at noon would be played in the wind and rain, near noon, the wind and rain subsided and the sun took over the sky.

In the city of Manchester, a red tide suddenly surged, and Red Devils fans from all over the world walked out of apartments, villas, hotels... Before the game time, people from all walks of life were pouring in from all directions, heading in the same direction - Old Trafford!

As the home stadium of the world-class giants Manchester United, Old Trafford has long become a tourist attraction in Manchester. In the eyes of countless fans, this place is one of the football temples in the world of football.

It was only 11 o'clock in the morning, almost three hours before the start of the game. Wen Wei left the hotel amidst his daughter's chatter and went straight to this football temple.

This time he came to Europe to inspect the football industry, but he did not come with a large army, but came quietly alone. However, after arriving in the UK, his daughter pestered him and ran around.

Wen Wei did not ask the hotel to send a car to take him and his daughter to Old Trafford, but decided to take the subway there with his daughter.

As soon as he boarded the subway, he discovered that today's subway was almost a fan train. The carriage was full of people, either Manchester United fans or Manchester City fans.

Since today's game is Manchester United's home court, there are not many tickets left for Manchester City, so there will be more Manchester United fans coming to watch the game. There were obviously fewer people wearing Manchester City's blue jerseys in the carriage, and red became the most mainstream color.

Wen Wei and his daughter were wearing Manchester United team uniforms and immediately integrated into the group of fans in the car.

………………

Among the Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys, Wen Wei found that there were people of all skin colors, and East Asians with black hair and yellow skin like them were not uncommon.

As the most commercially successful football team in the world, Manchester United has a high reputation in the Far East and has tens of millions of fans. Now that Manchester United has won the 21st top league championship in the club's history, many Manchester United fans have come from all over the world to celebrate this great moment.

Especially in this game, Manchester United's opponent is the same city rival and the biggest championship rival Manchester City, which makes Manchester United fans even more excited.

Because according to the tradition of the Premier League, after the league champion is elected each season, the opponents of the new champion in the next game will line up to welcome the champion.

It’s exciting to think about having your sworn enemies in the same city line up to welcome you!

The hotel where Wen Wei stayed was not far from the Old Trafford Stadium. It didn't take long for the subway to arrive at the stop outside Old Trafford. The father and daughter got off the bus with the large group of fans and headed towards Old Trafford. Go in the direction of the field.

Soon, they arrived at the stadium.

As an Oriental, Wen Wei has long been accustomed to crowds of people in public places. But when he came to Old Trafford and saw the endless stream of fans wearing jerseys, waving flags and with colors on their faces, the scene still shocked him.

The tense, stimulating and exciting atmosphere seemed to be ready to explode at any time, causing everyone in it to tense up involuntarily.

This is the atmosphere of a football match!

You can’t experience this feeling at all in domestic football games!

………………

When Wen Wei arrived at Old Trafford Stadium, led by his daughter, the Old Trafford Stadium was not open yet, and fans gathered outside the stadium, waiting for the time to enter.

Wen Tingting looked very happy, like a lively little butterfly, constantly walking among the crowd.

Not long after, the Manchester United team bus arrived at Old Trafford Stadium, and reporters immediately gathered around it. Wen Wei even saw many reporters who were obviously from the East, Japan, South Korea and other places.

The Manchester United players filed out of the bus with the door open and were immediately blocked by reporters. Wen Wei clearly discovered that the young man with whom he had met several times attracted the most attention.

It's obvious that he's the star of the place!

After the Manchester United players answered some questions, they walked to the tunnel entrance of the stadium under the protection of security.

Almost at the same time, the Manchester City team's bus also arrived at the parking lot, but their treatment was not as good as that of Manchester United. Many Manchester United fans surrounded the bus with ferocious faces, and some even used various obscene words at Manchester City. Player greetings.

Wen Wei shook his head. Those Manchester United fans who surrounded the Manchester City bus must be those fanatical guys.

………………

Shortly after players from both sides entered Old Trafford through the tunnel, the stadium was opened to fans, and fans began to enter.

The father and daughter also entered the stadium with the large group and quickly found their seats.

As more and more fans entered the stadium, fans' songs began to ring out in the stadium, and the atmosphere of the Manchester Derby became more and more intense.

Not only the Manchester United fans were singing, but in a corner of the stadium, less than 3,000 Manchester City fans also started singing. Although their numbers are small, their momentum is still not inferior to the fans of their rivals in the same city.

A faint smell of gunpowder slowly filled the air.

Wen Wei and his daughter were sitting just close to the main stand. From his vantage point, it's easy to see down the tunnel.

Soon, players from both sides came out of the tunnel and began to warm up.

"Bell!"

Wen Wei recognized Bell at a glance.

Coming out with Bell is Croatian international Modric. The two stood side by side, chatting and laughing from time to time, looking relaxed.

Players from both sides each occupy one half of the court and begin their warm-up activities.

Seeing the players appear on the field, the fans at the scene began to shout, and the name that the fans shouted the most was naturally Bell. In addition, big-name players such as Rooney and Robin van Persie also have some fans.

Hearing the cheers of the fans, Bell waved to them in a friendly manner. Bell's response also made the fans cheer for him even more enthusiastically.

Wen Wei found that his daughter was also shouting Bell's name in the crowd, and while shouting, she picked up her mobile phone and kept taking photos and videos, and was very busy.

Wen Wei shook his head and did not move from his seat. Let an old man in his early fifties be as crazy as young people, and he still can't do it.

However, when he saw several gray-haired old people not far away from him shouting Bell's name crazily, he was a little dumbfounded.

………………

The players didn't take long to warm up. Soon, they retreated into the tunnel, while the substitute players walked out of the tunnel and sat on the bench.

Coaches from both sides also appeared on the field.

When Manchester United's head coach Sir Alex Ferguson appeared, the stadium erupted into violent applause and cheers, which was not inferior to the applause and cheers that Bell received.

Obviously, this 71-year-old man holds an extremely important position in the hearts of fans.

Hearing the applause of the fans, Ferguson also applauded the fans and even occasionally stopped to sign autographs for some young fans.

Soon, it was time for the players to enter.

The first to enter were the players from the visiting team Manchester City. They had to line up at the entrance to welcome the new champion players into the stadium.

As the Manchester City players entered the stadium, the stadium announcer began to announce the names of the players.

Every time a Manchester City player was mentioned, thunderous boos erupted at Old Trafford. Especially when former Manchester United traitor Carlos Tevez came on the field, the boos reached a peak.

The Manchester City players with serious faces quickly lined up in two lines at the entrance of the stadium, waiting for the Manchester United players to appear.

It's clear that Red Devils fans hate the Argentinian.

The faces of the Manchester City players who played were very ugly, not only because the fans were booing at this moment, but also because they immediately had to line up to welcome the players of their mortal enemy.

They really don't want to do this, but they have to do it because this is the practice of the Premier League. If they don't do this, they will be despised by the entire Premier League and even the entire UK.

Especially Tevez, he was filled with hatred at this moment and felt that he had been greatly humiliated.

He secretly cursed the team coach Mancini in his heart. The Italian was simply embarrassing himself. In the past, he had put himself on the bench time and time again, but today he actually started!
