Golden Greenery

201 is a day worth remembering.

2018-1, at the City Stadium, the visiting Brighton \u0026 Hove Albion lined up at the tunnel early and applauded to pay tribute to Manchester City, who won the championship one round ahead of schedule.

However, this is not important.

This will be Zhuoyang's last game at Manchester City's home court.

Defeated Tottenham and entered the Champions League final, joining forces with Liverpool, Uncle Zha, Xiaozhu and Tuye. But before that, Manchester City still have two games to play.

The last round of the Premier League and the FA Cup final against Watford, that was at Wembley.

Zhuoyang has decided to leave Manchester City after the end of the season, and his destination is undecided. His bronze statue is about to be completed outside the City Stadium.

Chinese people are taboo about erecting statues of living people, but Europe is not so particular about it, so Zhuo Yang appreciates it.

For the last time he is crowned at the City Stadium, the King of Manchester City must be on stage.

The stands are covered with huge portraits of him, and there are countless slogans, some ordinary and some literary, but there are not many words to save him.

It's not that Blue Moon wants him to leave, but after months of public opinion guidance and publicity, the fans respect his choice. Zhuoyang does not belong to a specific team, but to football as a whole.

Therefore, there is no sadness about the upcoming separation at the City Stadium, only the joy of reunion.

But the reluctance experienced by fans of Madiburg, Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid still quietly hangs over the hearts of many Manchester City fans.

.

45-year-old Ron Jerrys lives in Stretford, Manchester, which is a traditional gathering place for Manchester United Red Devils fans, but he is the Blue Moon of Manchester City, and he has been there for three generations.

Jerrys had a very miserable life in the past. There were no Manchester pubs within a few blocks of his home. If he wanted to chat with his friends and have a drink or two, he had to go to Stockport, which was very inconvenient by taking the subway.

It had been like this since his grandfather. When his father was a child, he wanted to move, but they couldn't afford a house.

However, things have changed since three years ago. On the corner of Jerrys' house in 201, a bar with the theme of Blue Moon 18 opened.

At first, Red Devils fans often came to make trouble, but they were driven away by a few die-hard Manchester City fans like Jerrys and some new immigrant fans.

After a few quarrels, the Red Devils found it boring and stopped making trouble, acquiescing to the existence of the blue bar.

This year, another Manchester City fan-themed bar opened across the street, and the fish and chips there seem to taste better than the ones at home.

Therefore, Ron Jerrys felt that he was very happy, luckier than his grandfather and father.

Jerrys looked at Zhuoyang who was leading the team into the venue below, and said silently: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuoyang."

.

Petruso, 21, is from Eastern Europe and immigrated to Manchester three years ago.

In fact, he was not a fan before and didn't like watching football very much, but after coming to Manchester City, choosing a team to support has become the basic law of the citizens. When in town, do as the Romans do, so he decided to choose one.

At first he planned to choose Manchester United. After all, the Red Devils were more famous and had the largest number of fans. Petruso decided to follow the trend.

But that day, my sister Stefania jumped in from the outside like a rabbit, shouting excitedly: "Brother, brother, do you know, Zhuo Yang has joined Manchester City, it is really Zhuo Yang."

Petruso dotes on his sister very much. Stefania is very smart and plays the piano very well.

Amid his sister's excitement, Petruso obediently joined the Manchester City Blue Moon Fans Organization.

Three years later, Petruso really fell in love with football. However, rather than liking football, he fell in love with winning football.

Petruso has never been with a small club, nor has he experienced the dark era of Manchester City. His three-year Blue Moon status is his entire career as a fan.

Therefore, he believes that football is equal to victory, equal to happiness and prosperity, equal to having fun again and again, and tens of thousands of people enjoy it together.

】

Now in Manchester City, the total number of Blue Moon fans has exceeded that of the Red Devils, and there are many old and new immigrants, like the Petruso family.

Petruso smiled and said to Zhuo Yang, who was waving: "Well done, Captain Zhuo."

.

3 Ancestor Blue Moon fans, living in Stockport, where several blocks are traditional Blue Moon territory.

McCallister looked down on the new immigrant fans. Although they also supported Manchester City, he believed that these foreign country bumpkins were not loyal enough and were just fashionable fools.

Anyway, McCallister will never let his daughter marry these opportunistic foreign elders in the future.

But he only thinks so in his heart and will not say it out loud, because he has experienced ups and downs and knows that it is not easy for Manchester City to be where they are today.

McCallister works in a trucking company where everyone except him is a Manchester United fan. In the past, his colleagues often laughed at him without any scruples.

When he was young, McCallister loved to run long distances, and it was satisfying to go through the English Channel Tunnel and haul cargo to Greece in one breath. This way he can spend less time in the company and don't have to see the proud faces of his colleagues.

Later, the situation slowly changed. Especially in the past three years, whenever McAllister goes to the company, whether he is selling goods or not, he has to put on the No. 18 Manchester City home jersey, and then use his nostrils to look at the colleagues walking around him.

Yesterday, when McCallister was talking, he deliberately sprayed saliva on the foreman's face. He didn't dare to wipe it openly. McCallister was very happy.

Now he likes to run short distances, going back and forth on the same day or returning today and tomorrow, so that he does not miss watching football games.

"Oh -" McCallister breathed softly.

Sir Zhuo Yang is leaving, and I don’t know how Manchester City will develop in the post-Zhuo Yang era.

No matter, just be happy one day at a time. In this regard, I want to learn from those country bumpkins.

McCallister raised his hands and sang "Zhuoyang's Song" with his companions around him.

There were many unauthentic country accents in the singing that he despised.

In the past three years, McCallister never realized that Zhuo Yang actually belonged to the foreigners and country folks he looked down upon.

.

This was the last home game in Manchester City. Zhuo Yang waved from the center of the field to the surrounding stands and bowed four times.

In three seasons, I played more than 70 games here and scored more than 100 goals, which is not bad.

Owner Sheikh Mansour said he wanted to change the name of the Intihad Stadium (City Stadium) to the 'Intihad-Zhuo Yang Stadium' to seek Zhuo Yang's consent.

He didn't agree.

Zhuo Yang considers himself a fairly low-key person. It's enough to have a bronze statue at the entrance of the stadium to show off, and don't compete with the dead for the rest.

Being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner, Zhuo Yang plans to do something big today, not just because of the last home game.

He wants to show off naked, and everyone is waiting to see how he shows off.
