Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

When Lu Wei and his team completed a series of transfer work, Lu Wei also gave himself a long vacation, from the beginning of June until July 9 before the team assembled, this period also happened to be the time of the 2012 European Championship, in the previous life This period is the most critical period for Lu Wei to start a business, he has no time to watch this game after working overtime every day, and the Ukrainian "nuclear warhead" Shepchenko will retire after the European Cup, Shepchenko is one of Lu Wei's favorite stars before, It was a pity that his transfer to Chelsea had slipped, so Lu Wei used the holiday to plan to visit the European Championship on site.

The 14th European Championship 2012 was co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine, and the final was played at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, and the opening match of Euro 2012 was contested at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, at 6pm on June 8, with Poland drawing 1-1 at home to Greece. Lewandowski took the lead, Papastasoplos was sent off for two yellow cards, substitute Sarpingidis equalised and won another penalty, Poland goalkeeper Szczesny was sent off with a red card, but substitute Tyton bravely saved the penalty.

Lu Wei also saw Lewandowski's wonderful performance at the scene, after this battle Lewandowski entered the world in a real sense, Poland also went to the road of revival, Lewandowski, Braszczykovski, Piszczek, Szczesny and others are all leaders in contemporary football.

Lu Wei also secretly lamented that he crossed the wrong time, now FC United's level is too low, in England is okay, FC United has a good reputation, but foreign players, all who have entered professional teams will not leave their country to play in amateur leagues, Lu Wei has only poached Mane and Jonatang from abroad in recent years. Clos, although the national league or amateur league does not require labor certification, but after being promoted to League Two, Mane can no longer compete for FC United, but fortunately Mane has been selected for the Senegal U23 national team, not far from the national team, Senegal is now ranked 61st in FIFA, and it is barely in line with the standards of labor certification. Lu Wei's plan is to rise to League Two and start extending the scouting network to the world, and there will be many rising stars in Eastern Europe in the future, and this vacation can also be regarded as a passing observation of the development of football in Eastern Europe.

Back at the European Cup, Lu Wei finally saw the game he had missed on the spot, on June 11 in Kiev, Sweden and Ukraine, Ibrahimovic snatched a point in front of the goal in the 52nd minute, but it was not long before it was long, in the 55th and 62nd minutes, Shepchenko scored two headers to reverse the game, especially the second goal, after receiving Konopyanka's corner kick, Shepchenko ran around in front of Ibrahimovic and flicked his head to score. Shevchenko, who was twice a savior, became a national hero and was once again canonized before retiring. Unfortunately, after losing to France and England in the remaining two group games, Schepchenko also said goodbye to the green field after many years of competition.

England played as badly as ever, drawing 1-1 with France in the first game, defeating Sweden in the second with goals from Wolcott and Welbeck, and in the final round it was Rooney who scored a header from Gerrard's cross to beat Ukraine 1-0. In the quarterfinals, the score lasted 120 minutes 0-0 with Italy, and England once again fell to the penalty shootout, Ashley. Yang and Ashley. Cole became the backer and was eventually eliminated by Italy 2-4. Although Italy eliminated Germany to the final thanks to Balotelli's goal, the final became a stage for Spain's performance, a 4-0 victory created the biggest disparity in the European Championship final, and your Uncle Mata's hot meme began to circulate on the Internet.

Lu Wei did not stay in Ukraine until the end, when he watched the match between Italy and England in Kiev and traveled to Eastern Europe, from Ukraine to Hungary, to Serbia and Croatia, to visit the unique Eastern European style, and these countries will produce a number of potential players in the future, FC United will also explore talents in these countries in the future.

Lu Wei was at the Budapest airport preparing to fly back to London, and had just boarded the plane and sat in the economy class seat, when the passenger in the seat next to him called him, "Sorry, sir, can you help me carry the box up?" Lu Wei subconsciously agreed, looked up, it was a girl about 1 meter 7 tall, wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, Lu Wei glanced at helping to put the box up and sat back in his seat.

The plane soon took off, Lu Wei leaned against the window and looked at the city outside the plane, suddenly thought of a song he heard before crossing, and couldn't help humming "The unreachable phone is all over the stars at night, don't be nervous, life is not an arena." At this time, the girl next to her heard the song and asked curiously in English: "The melody is so good, are you singing Chinese?" "

Lu Wei came back to his senses and remembered that it was 2012, and "Economy Class" was the song of 2020. Yes, I am a Chinese, and I just hummed while looking at the city outside on the plane.

"It's really good, I've worked in Asia for a long time before, and I've listened to a lot of Chinese songs, but I haven't heard this song, and I haven't been to China." The female tourist said with some regret.

"Then I really recommend you have time to visit, China's culture is the most wonderful in the world, whether it is ancient architecture or modern technology is different from other countries, and China's food culture is the richest, I believe you will like China after going."

"Is it? Then I will definitely go in the future. Lu

Wei saw that the magazine in the hands of the female tourist was still a football magazine, and immediately became interested. Do you enjoy football?

"Yes, I've loved watching football since I was a kid." Saying that, she shook the magazine in her hand.

"It's nice to meet such beautiful fans, coincidentally, I am the head coach of an English football club, my name is Lu Wei, I am a Chinese born and raised in England."

"Is it? It's great, it's the first time I've met a football coach, I'll get off the plane in a while and sign me Oh, which team are you, I'll have time to watch your game and cheer you on later. "

Our team is called FC United, it's just in the fifth tier of England, there will be no broadcast, sorry to disappoint you, but in a few years we will be promoted to the Premier League."

"FC United? It's like Manchester United, it's in the same city. "

Not only in a city, our team was founded in '05 by a group of Manchester United fans, when Glazer wanted to buy Manchester United, we gathered some people to protest, and finally decided to set up a club by ourselves, a club belonging to fans, this year is the eighth year..." Lu Wei, who said his team's history, became more and more energetic, and when the reaction came, he hurriedly apologized to his neighbors.

"I'm sorry, I get a little forgotten when I talk about the team." Lu Wei clasped his hands together and apologized.

"It's okay, it's the first time I've heard these things, I've never paid attention to English football before, it's all watching the Bundesliga, and you just said that FC United is very handsome, I have become your fans, looking forward to the day when you are promoted to the Premier League in the future, I also believe that it will be successful, after all, you are so powerful, know me, my name is Barbara." Parvin, a Hungarian, is a model.

"I'm glad we have another such beautiful fan on our team, I heard so much just now, and as an apology, please allow me to take you around London after getting off the plane, as long as you are not afraid that I will abduct you."

"Hahaha, that's not afraid, it's a pity that I went to London to work, and someone has already arranged to pick me up, but when I have time after work, I can go to you, and I want to visit your club."

"Then welcome, there is a great Chinese restaurant in Manchester, I invite you to Chinese food."

"In a word."
