Ouardi finally broke his goal drought in the new round of the league, throwing off the defender by running on his own in the 36th minute, receiving a volley from the mainland. He returned the favor in the 55th minute by passing a defender in the middle and giving the ball to Mane, who pushed into the near corner to win 2-0 over Bryant.

Immediately after FC United showed a strong performance, and successively won Tamworth, Redditch United and the same promoted Halifax Town, although they lost to Southton in the FA Cup Winners' Cup and lost 0:2 to the desperate promotion of Brenttree City, but before the 41st round, FC United still ranked first in the table with 75 points, followed by Droylesden with 71 points, and third Brenttree City with 69 points and only theoretical hope of winning. FC United's opponent in the next round is second-placed Droylesden, and there are only two rounds left in the league, which means that FC United only need to draw to win the National League in northern England one round earlier.

Of course, Lu Wei will not stay in such an important game, except for Xie Fo who is injured, and he has the strongest lineup that can be used. Goalkeeper Pope, four defenders Jonatang. Cross, McManus, Tyrone and Robertson, three midfielders Draper, Suarez and Klucas, and the striker trident is the strongest Northern League strike combination for McRess, Mane and Vardy. On the bench sat Ashton, Jacobs, Corretel, Devin Yao and Wolfenden.

In the pre-match dressing room, Lu Wei began the pre-match arrangement, "Gentlemen, there is nothing to worry about in this game, I don't want any draw to win the championship, I have only one request, that is, to win this victory, and then the last round let's go back to Gig Lane to treat the game as a carnival, a party, we also have to hold a retirement ceremony in the last round, for our old captain - David. Chadwick.

As soon as Lu Wei finished speaking, everyone looked at Chadwick, some people with intentions may have noticed it long ago, but most of them were surprised, Ashton and Wright and others walked up to Chadwick and gave him a hug, and then everyone, in turn, paid tribute to the old captain.

Seeing that everyone sat back, Lu Wei's eyes were also moist, "Okay, everyone take some, don't let Droylesden see you like this in a while, or you shouldn't laugh at us."

"They dare, see if I don't tear them apart!" McManus responded.

"Okay, then you go and tear them apart and tell them that the championship is ours, and they don't want to take it away!"

"The champion is ours!!" All the people in the dressing room raised their fists.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time, and the visiting FC United were not polite, and after receiving the news that the old captain was retiring, the players on the field were full of energy, and Droylesden did not back down, and both sides accepted only one result, that is, their own victory.

Just four minutes into the game, Droylesden came close to scoring when the striker's shot from inside the box popped off the inside of the post, which could have sparked the anger of the FC United players, how could you have scored first. Vardy then began his own performance, McReis broke through from the right and crossed the triangle, Vardy feigned a right-footed shot, dunked the defender's defense and shot open the goal, 0-1, FC United took the lead in the 30th minute.

At the beginning of the second half, Vardy broke through with the ball, and under the defender's pressing to the bottom line, Vardy, who had no space to pass and dribble, suddenly swung the ball back with the instep of his foot, turned to the right and bypassed the defender, and then passed the ball to the back point, and then inserted the unmarked Suarez to easily push the empty goal, 0:2. In the 62nd minute, Jamie Vardy suddenly shot 26 meters from the goal, and the ball made a wide spin into the top right corner of the goal, 0:3. The game had lost its suspense and all the players and coaches were celebrating the arrival of the title, and although Droylesden pulled a goal back in the 86th minute, it was too late, FC United won the Northern National League title in the early round, and the award ceremony will be played back at FC United's home stadium, Giger Lane.

On April 28, 2012, the Giger Lane stadium was full of red, and the day before the match, FC United officially announced the retirement of Chadwick, and a retirement ceremony will be held before the final league game, and fans who heard the news came to the Giger Lane stadium to witness the farewell of the old captain.

At the beginning of the retirement ceremony, Chadwick led his children to the stadium, and Andy Smith led his children to the stadium. Walsh and a middle-aged man around 50 years old stood there waiting for him with a shirt, the court master of ceremonies was telling his life when Chadwick entered the field, and when he walked up to Walsh, he found that the middle-aged man was Manchester United's legendary central defender, Manchester United's former iron-blooded captain, Chadwick's idol - Steve. Bruce. Seeing Bruce's fans boiling and cheering Steve's name, Bruce also picked up the microphone and pressed his hand to the fans.

"Today, it's a day for David, I'm just a fan now, I admire David as a man, he's a real man, he's the pride of Manchester, it's my honor to be invited to his farewell show, and one of my most honorable things this year is to hand over this commemorative shirt to him, David, this is your 200th and last game for FC United, Manchester is proud of you."

Chadwick took the shirt and raised it with red eyes to show the fans that it was his glory, FC United was only 7 years old, he was the first player to complete 200 games, and the first captain to retire from FC United. When he announced that he would not leave the team and would remain in the first team as an assistant coach, the fans cheered again, and the audience resounded with the "Chadwick song".

The farewell ceremony is over, and the game is still going on. FC United, who had won the championship early, was under no pressure, Ashton, Jacobs, Neville, Wright, Pratt, Corretel, Carlos and other veterans all appeared, Chadwick wore the captain's armband for the last time, and although he was replaced in the fifth minute to enjoy the applause of the fans alone (Chadwick shirt number is No. 5), the veterans on the field still won the victory.

When Chadwell led the team to lift the championship trophy, "We are the champions!" The singing resounded over the entire Giger Lane stadium, and at the end of the victory celebration, it was still the tradition of Lu Wei leaving FC United in the center of the venue with Chadwick and the championship trophy.
