Chapter 1252 A Ghost of Hillsborough

When Mr. Dugal said that he would take the poor Mr. Mertz to Chris Bascombe, everyone else in the office was stunned.

Because they are too clear about the relationship between the two people.

Mr. Dugal is a die-hard Everton fan, and Chris Bascombe is the top reporter of the "Liverpool Echo" and the number one Liverpool fan in the newspaper. He has personal relationships with many Liverpool executives and stars. not bad.In Liverpool, he is the most authoritative source on Liverpool Football Club.

Mr. Dugal, the warm-hearted good man, rarely gets into an argument with a red-faced guy, but Chris Bascombe does.

He had pissed off Mr. Dugal quite badly.

After that incident, Mr. Dugal never spoke a word to Bascombe.To be honest that time, although everyone was a Liverpool fan, they all felt that Mr. Bascombe had done a little too much.

It was the second season when Chen Yingxiong moved to Liverpool. Everton played against Liverpool in the same city derby. Everton once hoped to beat Liverpool, but Liverpool changed teams in the second half. Relying on Chen Yingxiong's brace, Liverpool beat Everton 3:2.

Maybe it was because the game was too exciting. Bascombe was a little too excited after the game. He praised Chen Yingxiong loudly in front of Mr. Dugal, touted Chen Yingxiong as a unparalleled genius, and at the same time ridiculed Everton. The closest time to winning the same city derby.

That time he completely angered Dugal, and Dugal had a fight with him, and of course, he hated Chen Yingxiong because of it—Chen Yingxiong would burst into tears when he found out: Nima, I was shot while lying down !
Anyway, everyone in the club knew that Dugal and Bascombe were definitely not friends, and it was considered very polite to turn a blind eye after seeing each other.

But for Mr. Mertz's matter today, Dugal went to find Bascombe, but it was the best way.Because Bascombe, as the leading reporter of the "Liverpool Echo", has a huge influence, and through him to call for publicity, more people can know about it, which can increase the chances of finding tickets.

For a ticket of the rival fan, Mr. Dugal was willing to let go of his prejudice against Bascombe, and ran to his rival, begging him for help.It can be seen that Mr. Dugal really wants to help Mr. Mertz find this ticket, which is exactly what he said.

Everyone in the office felt guilty for the previous slander and doubts about Mr. Dugal - it was a shame to compare myself to Mr. Dugal...

Seeing the back of Dugal and the owner leaving, a group of people sighed again.

"Mr. Dugal is really a good man!"

"Yes, yes! Such a good person is so rare now..."

"It's just a pity why not us Liverpool fans?"

"Hey, even if he is not a Liverpool fan, he is still a good person! As an Everton fan, he can still help Liverpool fans like this. I think he is much better than those Everton fans who only scold us!"

※ ※ ※

Chris Bascombe didn't expect Dugal to come to him again, let alone bring a Liverpool fan, and the last thing he expected was that this Liverpool fan came to him for a big event!

Yes, for Liverpool fans, everything about the Hillsborough tragedy was a big deal.

Not to mention that the person in front of him is a member of the family of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy.

That deserves more attention.

In the face of this major event, he couldn't care less about wondering why Dugal was willing to come to him...

Dugal has completed his task. Bascombe must be more useful than himself in this matter. Although he is not happy with Bascombe, his brain is still calm.He knew that this kind of time was not a time for personal feelings of grudges.

Mertz was a little anxious when he saw that Dugal was leaving.He was very grateful to Mertz, but he was afraid that after Mertz left, the ace reporter of the "Liverpool Echo" in front of him would not try his best to help him.Because when he saw Bascombe for the first time, Bascombe's face was not good-looking, and when he saw himself, he also looked very impatient-in fact, he misunderstood, Bascombe's face was not It was for him to see, but for Dugal beside him.

It was not easy for him to speak directly in front of Bascombe, so he could only show anxiety.

Dugal understood what Mertz was worried about. He patted the old man on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Mertz. Although this Mr. Bascombe likes to play big things sometimes..."

"Hey!"

Bascombe was a little displeased to hear Dugal speak ill of himself in front of others.

Dugal ignored him and continued: "But I can assure you that he is a true Liverpool fan, and he will do his best in your affairs."

"Yes, Mr. Mertz! I am also an old KOPER, and I can understand your current mood. Please believe me, I will definitely find this ticket for you!"

Bascombe is quite confident about his influence among Liverpool fans and the city.

"Of course, I will do what I promised you. I will mobilize Everton fans to help you find it. Maybe your ticket was picked up by an Everton fan? I have yours Contact information, if there is any latest news, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

After speaking, Dugal turned and left.

Merz, who was left behind, was surprised. He pointed at Dugal's back, turned his head and asked Bascombe, "Is he, an Everton fan?"

Bascombe curled his lips: "Yes, a die-hard Everton fan who can't understand the situation!"

On the next day's "Liverpool Echo", Mr. Samuel Merz's missing object notice took up half of the page in the citizen service page. Although the space is large, the content is not much. It is a very common missing item notice. But because the content is small, everyone can see keywords such as "Liverpool VS Nottingham Forest", "April 1989, 4", "FA Cup semi-final" at a glance.

Through these keywords, any Liverpool person who knows the Hillsborough tragedy can easily know what kind of ticket it is, and at the same time, it is very clear that this ticket is for this Liverpool fan named Samuel Mertz. mean something.

On the front page of the "Liverpool Echo", there is a summary and link of a press release. If you follow this link, you will see an old Liverpool fan named Samuel Mertz on the fourth page After the same city derby, the story of losing his precious tickets.That ticket was a memento of his son, who was tragically killed in the Hillsborough disaster 25 years ago.So this ticket means too much to this Liverpool fan, and it is also very precious. Finally, reporter Chris Bascombe hopes that everyone can help find it together. If anyone has clues, they can also inform the newspaper or Merz Mr. himself, I must thank you very much.

This incident appeared in the "Echo", the number one selling local newspaper in Liverpool, and it soon became known to the world.

It only took one day for everyone in Liverpool to know that there is such a Liverpool fan who lost the ticket of the Hillsborough tragedy. I hope that someone with good intentions can help him get it back.

There are many Liverpool fans discussing this matter on the Internet, and said that they will pay attention to it near their homes.

The Echo soon published the follow-up incident. This time, it provided the seat number of Mr. Samuel Mertz who went to watch the game in the same city derby, as well as his photo, so that the fans sitting in that area can help recall, See if there is such a person next to you when you go to the game, and also think back to whether you noticed anything special on the ground at the time.

A day later, Everton fans were also mobilized. In a radio program dedicated to Everton fans, DJ Cruise Dugal called on Everton fans all over the city to take action and help this A poor old Liverpool fan.

"Although our two teams are rivals in the same city. But in the face of the Hillsborough tragedy, we are all from the same city. I hope everyone can put aside their hatred for Liverpool for a while and help this poor old man find his son. At this moment, we are not Everton fans, nor Liverpool fans, we are all Liverpool citizens!"

By the way, Cruise Dugal is the youngest son of Mr. Ji Wen Dugal...

Soon, Mr. Samuel Merz became an overnight celebrity.

In addition to the "Liverpool Echo", there are other media who contacted him, hoping to interview him.

Mr. Mertz refused at the beginning. He doesn't want to be famous now. He just wants to find his own tickets, so the harassment from the media annoys this traditional conservative old man.

Mr. Dugal heard about it when he called to care about the progress of the matter. He advised Merz not to refuse the media interview, because only after the media fully hyped up the matter can more people know , into a social event.

The more people who know, the greater the influence, the greater the hope of finding tickets.

Although media hype is vulgar, sometimes hype can have a positive effect.

At this time, we should not refuse to hype, on the contrary, we should actively cooperate and participate in the hype.

Merz still trusts Dugal, although one of them is a Liverpool fan and the other is an Everton fan.

But under such circumstances, isn't it more commendable and trustworthy for Dugal to be able to help himself so wholeheartedly?
The next day, he took the initiative to call those media who had been rejected by him, willing to accept their interviews.

Soon many media outlets reported the matter together.

A great search has begun across Liverpool.

Whether it is Liverpool fans or Everton fans, they are all affected by a ticket.

Because of this ticket, there is no red and blue contest in this city.

Well-known reporter Chris Bascombe of the "Liverpool Echo" gave a provocative title to the search.

"Bringing home a ghost of Hillsborough."
