Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Red Course! Very simple name but contains rich meaning, FC United from Manchester United, Manchester United and FC United shirts are red, red is England's away shirt color, red is also the color of victory, and for Lu Wei, red is the color of the five-star red flag, is Chinese red, in the moment he heard the name, Lu Wei had a sense of belonging to this stadium, after all, this is also the stadium created by him, all the interior design is his and the designer's advice to improve it.

Originally, Walsh wanted Lu Wei to name the stadium, after all, 90% of the money to build the stadium was paid by Lu Wei out of his own pocket, and the other 10% was to raise funds from FC United members and shareholders and other sponsorships, but Lu Wei decisively refused Walsh and insisted that the fans vote for the name of the stadium, and Walsh gave up.

Fans submitted strange names, including "Red Rebel Stadium", "New Manchester Stadium", "Victory Stadium", and even "Reed Stadium" proposed by Chinese fans that made Lu Wei cry and laugh.

After nearly a year of online collection, the names "Red Course", "Newton Heath Stadium" and "Brand Road Stadium" were finally recognized by everyone, and finally "Red Stadium" only defeated "Newton Heath Stadium" by 146 votes to become the name of FC United's home stadium.

In the jubilation of the audience, Walsh picked up the microphone and announced another heavy news, "Now that the unveiling ceremony of the Red Court has officially begun, first of all, let's welcome the one-way group to sing our FC United team song - "Nobody Can Drag Me Down"" The audience once again created a wave, and a huge cheer once again appeared on the red court.

That's right, it's the team song, Lu Wei found Syco Music Company where the one-way group is located in London after the game last season, and finally asked the most popular music group in the UK to make a team song for FC United after spending a lot of money, and Lu Wei adapted it from a hit song of the future one-way group "Drag Me Down", which became the team song of FC United, and the rhythm brought by the one-way group to Lu Wei is also very called. Coupled with the lyrics are very in line with the artistic conception of these young people, within a few days this new song "Nobody Can Drag Me Down" was born, compared with the original song borrowed by Lu Wei, it is less delicate, but more atmospheric, especially the climactic part of "Nobody Can Drag Me Down" is even more enthusiastic, Lu Wei also added some football elements to the lyrics, such as "baby you're a boat" changed to "baby." You're the ball", changed "With your love" to "Rush to victory" and so on.

When completing the song, Lu Wei proposed to the one-way group that when they sang the song live on the opening day of the stadium, the one-way group also readily agreed, and will work with FC United players to shoot a MV for this song, and the finished audio and video products will be sold in the FC United official store, of course, the one-way group will also get some shares, but these will not tell the players until after the stadium unveiling ceremony.

When this passionate song was sung in the red stadium, all 18,000 fans sang "Nobody Can Drag Me Down", and the FC United players in the stadium also lit a fire in their hearts, this is their song, Michu and Makaida standing in the team feel honored for their "marriage", with such a culture, with such passionate fans, How can a team with such ambitions still lurk in League One, where the Premier League is their stage?

Standing at the front is the team's vice-captain, Andrew. Robertson, captain Tyrone and another vice-captain Roberts are scheduled to play in the second half, so FC United's opener on the red court will be led by Robertson into this grass, Robertson also excitedly clenched the team flag in his hand, standing behind him is loaned goalkeeper Pickford, who will return to Sunderland after this season, and Mendy's increasing progress also makes Pickford know that FC United is basically impossible to buy out. And he himself wants to return to Sunderland next season to compete for a Premier League starting spot, so this season must be his last season at FC United, and Pickford can't help but be a little reluctant.

Standing behind Pickford is Klucas, who came to FC United in 2010, and many Championship teams announced that they wanted to buy Lucas this summer, but they were all rejected by the FC United four-year veteran, announcing that they would accompany FC United all the way to the Premier League, if not much of the temperament to be a leader, Lu Wei also wanted to hand over the position of another vice-captain to Klucas.

There are also players who have only come to FC United in the past two years, such as Taffnir, Rahmani, Egan, Grimes, Holihaan and Hogan, who have only been in the starting team, and suddenly have a new understanding of the club that has only been established for 10 years, and are full of hope for their future in this team.

On the other side, the Burleigh players looked at the FC United players with a look of envy, in the past, FC United was still several league-level younger brothers below them, relying on the shared stadium to complete the registration in the FA, two years ago was still one in League One and one in the National League, but now he stands higher than himself, loaned to Burleigh's Flander. Mendy and Ben. White was also in the team, the two stood together and hummed the song with the fans outside, and when they heard the song, they also secretly made up their minds to play well and become a member of the FC United first team as soon as possible.

The game after the unveiling ceremony was no longer a very important event, and the whistle at the start of the game was blown in a harmonious atmosphere, and it was FC United's former manager Carl who kicked off the game. Makingson, Carl returned to Manchester this summer with his son who has graduated from university, and Makinson Jr. also entered the business administration department of FC United as an intern, and Carl declined Lu Wei's invitation to return to the coaching staff and opened a fan bar near the Red Court to enjoy retirement.

The first game of the "Friendship Cup" did not have the slightest feeling of nervous game, and the Burleigh crowd was also very sensible to give FC United a green leaf on this day, and the FC United players did not seriously go to the game, but were enjoying every piece of turf on the court, all kinds of flowers and cooperation appeared in this friendly match of the lower league, no one cared about the victory or defeat of this game, and finally Tyrone casually kicked a long-range shot that was "let in" by the Burley goalkeeper into the goal.

Although the game is not exciting, no one will care about the game process today, people are recalling the surprise brought by the red court, recalling the team song sung passionately by the one-way group, and recalling the happiness brought to them by this green field.
