Golden Greenery

( ) Dream Theater, this word means many things. A Boston metal band, a Broadway stage, or a TV soap opera. But in the football world, it only represents one place, a professional football stadium in Stretford, a borough in Trafford, Greater Manchester, England.

Old Trafford!

There is no need to introduce it anymore. As long as you are a fan, it is impossible not to know Old Trafford. It has as long a history as modern football. Its star power was and is as good as any place on earth.

When Zhuo Yang and his team came to Old Trafford, they were just like a bunch of country bumpkins, talking endlessly without losing their status at all. It's not that they haven't seen the world, they have conquered several beautiful and famous stadiums, but Old Trafford is indeed different from other stadiums.

There is no need to mention the pigeon cage-like Victor in Fort Madi. On weekdays, it looks like a sailboat, but compared with others, it is actually a model ship. England's stadiums are not the largest, nor are they the most modern, nor are they the most beautiful and dreamy, but England's stadiums have their own distinctive temperament.

If a person has no idea what football is, for example, Li Bai, who traveled from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, how would he feel when he sees these huge buildings?

Poetic immortals will sigh: After the rain, the misty scenery is green, and the remaining clouds are dispersed on a sunny day. For example, the Allianz Arena is beautiful!

Poetic immortals would sigh: If we had not seen each other at the top of the jade mountain, we would have met under the moon at Yaotai. For example, Camp Nou is so magnificent!

The Immortals of Poetry sighed: Suddenly in the west of the city, a jade hook hung in the blue sky. For example, San Siro is boxy!

Poetic immortals will sigh: Two orioles sing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascend to the blue sky. Bird's nest...

When he saw Old Trafford, Li Bai couldn't write any poems. He would stare, close his eyes, look up and mutter to himself: Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; time is the passer-by of generations. And the floating life is like a dream, how much joy is there? The ancients held candles for night walks, but today people enjoy football..., football, woohoo football, I'm so lucky...

Even if Taibaigong has never seen or heard of football, he will naturally know what football is when he comes here, even if there is no one at this time. The air, drizzle, steel bars, blood... everything here tells the story of football, because this is the same age as modern football, because this is born for football, because football was born here.

This is true at Old Trafford, and this is true all over England.

An interesting scene also happened in the press center at Old Trafford.

The day before the game, Manchester United and Madiburg held a joint press conference before the game.

Sir Alex Ferguson, Uncle Slag, Zhuo Yang, Gunner Gomez, Per Mertesacker, and Ryan Giggs sat in a row and told the media routine nonsense. This is especially true for Zhuoyang. He has participated in pre- and post-match press conferences for several years, which are basically all empty talk without any practical information. Some people in the media have already called him the "most boring captain". Zhuo Yang was rarely lured or ambushed by reporters, nor was he emotionally stirred up by reporters.

It's the same this time. Ferguson first relied on his elders to encourage his younger generation, Klopp pretended to praise Sir Alex Ferguson, and Manchester United's interim captain Giggs cherished his words like gold. When they arrived at Madibao captain Zhuo Yang, the media didn't hold out any hope. They always had a cold drink. However, this time, Zhuo Yang surprised them.

"Zhuoyang, how do you evaluate Wayne Rooney?"

At that time, Rooney was jealous that Zhuo Yang surpassed him in the Golden Boy Award rankings. He couldn't hold back and started a war of words. As a result, he was smashed into an eggplant by the Six Musketeers. To this day, the "Six Rooneys" are still familiar to the football world. stem. This is also the only feud between the two teams that has never had any face-to-face relationship in history. The only remaining friendship is the transfer of my grandfather.

Everyone thought Zhuoyang would answer: Rooney is an excellent player, Manchester United is a great club, but we will strive to win... So so.

Who would have thought that Zhuo Yang didn't say a word after hearing this, looking coldly at the reporter who asked the question, his face slowly darkened. The reporters who were watching everyone took a look: Oh, there is something going on!

"There are a few people in football that I really hate, and coincidentally, all three of them are at Manchester United."

Not only Uncle Zha and Gomez, but also Ferguson and Grandpa were shocked. Giggs's face changed. Is Zhuo Yang planning to do something big? The reporters were so excited that their noses suddenly bubbled together.

"What I hate the most is Sir Alex Ferguson." Zhuoyang's eyebrows were knitted together, and Sir Alex could fit a fist into his mouth.

"Sir Alex Ferguson has been at Manchester United for 20 years. How can he compare to other coaches? Can he still let people live? He has led Manchester United to be so powerful and dominated the Premier League for more than ten years, but he will not give it to other teams. Do you want to leave some room for survival? It's so annoying. He is so great, who will dare to take over from him in the future? How annoying it would be to hate him! He has also trained so many superstars, is there anything in the football world that he can't do? Really? So annoying!!”

Ferguson was so happy that his face was flushed with happiness.

"I dare to say this in front of Sir Alex Ferguson." Zhuo Yang was still filled with indignation, and the others were already lying on the stage laughing.

"I still hate grandpa Mertesacker!" Zhuo Yang gritted his teeth and pounded the table. Grandpa turned his head and looked at his brother, his facial features turned into buns with laughter.

"I just arrived in Germany when I was seventeen years old. Per Mertesacker, the captain of the Madiburg youth team, took great care of me. I still have to say good things to him to this day. It's so annoying! He twisted us six Musketeers together, which made me sad. Where can I find such a good brother in the future? I'm so disgusting! I've never seen such a good friend before, and I feel inferior when I'm with him. Do you think he's annoying?"

Zhuo Yang became more and more angry as he spoke, and he was already completely angry. Everyone collapsed with laughter, and grandpa’s eyes were slightly red.

"I also hate Manchester United's captain Giggs. He can play so well but it's tolerable. He also runs so fast, which makes people annoying! Running fast is nothing, and he looks so good. Handsome, so handsome that he bullies others, which is really annoying! Giggs is obviously trying to attract hatred!"

"Each of the three is more annoying than the last!!"

The whole audience roared with laughter, but Zhuo Yang remained serious. The media finally saw the sharp tongue of Captain Madibao's "Joker". After this track, the press conference was in harmony. Both parties complimented each other so hypocritically that no clouds in the sky dared to pass by.

Sir Alex felt so comfortable with Zhuo Yang's flattery that he took advantage of the excitement and directly made arrangements for his funeral.

"Klopp is a very good young coach. His offensive football and winning temperament are very fascinating. I think it will be a good choice for Klopp to take charge of Manchester United after I retire." Since the day of his 60th birthday , he clamored to retire, and even he might have believed it, but no action was taken.

The press conference was so lively that everyone, including all the media reporters, forgot about Rooney.
