Chapter 47 Still Too Young

After a 22-hour flight, the Manchester United players and the more than 200 fans who arrived with the team were all exhausted.

The Volgograd airport was empty at night, and the city's nightlife didn't seem to be doing well.

"David, you can see the starry sky here!"

Gary Neville's voice made everyone at the airport look up at the starry sky.

"Bright galaxy, vast starry sky!"

Chewing gum, Ferguson said with great interest, and his words were poetic.

These British people who seldom see the stars just looked at the starry sky. If it weren't for the bus whistle, everyone would probably have been able to see the dawn.

There are no shops or restaurants on the wide streets of Volgograd, and there are only two hotels in the city, one of which is where fans and journalists stay.

In order to keep the players undisturbed, Manchester United booked another hotel.

Walking into the gate of the hotel, Beckham found that the concept of vast land and sparse population cannot be transferred to everything, such as this hotel.

The hotel is small and broken, the interior decoration is like a hotel near a British factory, the facilities in the room are simple, except for hot water, other places are useless.

Seeing the tired Gary Neville lying on the bed, with his feet almost reaching the bottom of the bed, Beckham was a little dumbfounded.

The so-called 1-meter guy almost stretched his feet out of the bed, so the two tall guys, Schmeichel and Pallister, were going to go through the wall.

All in all, the hotel bed is outrageously small.

After a day-long journey, both of them were too sleepy to talk. After a brief wash, they fell asleep on the mattress prepared by Dave.

Beckham and Gary Neville woke up just after 5am the next morning.

During yesterday's trip, both of them didn't sleep less, so they weren't too short of sleep.

Another reason for waking up so early is that Volgograd dawned too early. According to the situation in Manchester, this kind of brightness must be after nine o'clock.

Coupled with the fact that there are few sunny days in the UK throughout the year, the blue sky on Volgograd will inevitably lead to misjudgment.

"The sky is a bit too blue this day, which makes people not used to it!"

Beckham laughed at himself, turned around and prepared to continue sleeping.

"David, since you're awake, why don't you go out for a walk?"

You are crazy. In such an unfamiliar place, you go out for a walk at dawn. In case of an accident, your throat will be broken, and no one will understand what you are saying.
Beckham muttered to himself silently, not planning to follow the madman.

Gary Neville did not intend to give up: "David, we have slept enough in the past two days, and we are not short of one or two hours.

It is not easy to come all the way, why not learn about the local customs?Otherwise, when you get home and someone asks you how it is, do you want to tell them that the hotel provides hot water?
We should go and see what is happening in other corners of the world! "

To put it simply, you are collecting material for acting.

But there's really no harm in getting out and about.

"If you are still indifferent after hearing those words, should you think about it, this is an unusual land, where a battle to defend the fate of mankind took place more than 50 years ago.

It took the Soviets a whole generation to stop the devil from invading. What kind of soil gave birth to this tough and tenacious clan?In the 50 years after the war, what has become of this reborn city after the war?

We have only seen it in textbooks, but never experienced it in person. "

Shit, which book did you read these words from?Why am I so fooled by you that I want to go out for a stroll.

Hmm. While I'm still hesitating, let me say a little more about this.

Gary Neville is indeed still trying: "If we fail to see this city this time, I don't know if we can get such a precious opportunity again in our lifetime. I hope that my life will not leave too many regrets."

In place!
Beckham turned around with an impatient look on his face: "I don't think it matters what you say, but I can't let my buddies feel disappointed.

Alas, for you guy, I'm going to violate the principle again. "

Gary Neville saw that he was relieved, and immediately followed up: "You are really my good buddy, I owe you once."

You are an adult, why are you so innocent.
Seeing Gary Neville's satisfied face, Beckham could only still have the expression of "I really can't do anything about you".

Fifteen minutes later, the two men, wearing trench coats and bowler hats pushed down, walked cautiously out of the hotel.

Anyway, there is not much difference in appearance, as long as you don't speak, as long as you are not being watched, there are hundreds of people coming in and out of this hotel every day, and no one can recognize them as British.

Beckham probably inquired about the situation in Volgograd before, as long as he doesn't play tricks, it's not a big deal for the crooked nut to walk on the street.

The two of them had already made an agreement, and when they saw something bad, they ran away.

My life is the most important thing, put aside those pretentious dignity first.

Anyway, the team reporter was tossed to death on the plane yesterday, and now he can't take care of them.

No one knew they were out wandering.
As soon as I left the hotel, I ran into a Russian person head-on.

No, there is a difference between the British and the Russians, even if they look similar, there are indeed some differences.

The difference comes from feeling. I can't say where it is different, but it is not the same.

Being recognized always makes Beckham feel a little inappropriate.

Does a journey around the world stop abruptly at the door?

In the end is to go or not to go?
While Beckham was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, Gary Neville spoke first: "Zdrastvi (hello)!"

The man who entered the door replied politely and hurried into the hotel.

Gary even has Russian attributes added!
Beckham's worries just now were dispelled. According to his appraisal, Gary Neville's speech was at the same level as passers-by.

It's hard to draw skins when drawing people and bones, knowing people's faces but not their hearts, I didn't expect Gary to have such a skill!
As far as Gary's Russian level is concerned, simple communication is no problem. This will not only avoid trouble, but also ask for directions and bargain if necessary.

Sure enough, life is full of surprises!
The sky is already bright and bright, what can happen?

The two of them didn't communicate with each other, and they speeded up their pace in unison. The team had to gather at 09:30 in the morning, and they had to come back before the team assembled.

Just as the two were walking forward quickly, a car suddenly stopped at their feet.

Will five or six strong men pop out of this car and grab us both in the car?

Or someone rolls down the car window, then sticks out a pistol and chugs himself and Gary.
In an instant, these movie plots popped up in Beckham's mind, making him want to run away.

The car window was rolled down, and a pedantic old man with a bowler hat and gray hair poked his head out with a smile.

Gary Neville spoke again: "Zdrastvi!"

"Gentlemen, would you like to drive around?"

The old man spoke bad English, which made Beckham wary again, and he hoped that Gary Neville could speak Russian again to scare him off.

Gary Neville spreads his hands in embarrassment: "I only know three words"

Come on, I shouldn't expect too much from you.

Beckham was powerless to complain, and he was going to explore first: "How much will it cost to drive us around the neighborhood?"

If the old man said that he didn't want money, it was for the friendship of the two, he had to turn around and go back to the hotel.

He doesn't want to make small money, so he wants to make a lot of money.

Get up so early and get out of the sports car, don't tell me that I'm here for dedication.

I don't believe it!

"£60 an hour, more than 2 hours can be cheaper!"

Hmm. The price is not cheap, but why is the tone a little unconfident?
"David, I think it's okay. Let's bargain again!"

Gary Neville winked as he spoke, and the general meaning of his eyes was "Go ahead, it's nothing to be afraid of!".

"Show us around and come back before nine o'clock, we'll pay £120!"

I think the price should be acceptable. After all, there are no people at this time. If you miss this wave, you may wait until 9 o'clock.

Hearing the quotation, the old man rushed out and opened the car door for the two of them: "You two gentlemen, welcome to Volgograd!"

He is so attentive, it seems that the price is high.
Beckham can only lament that he is too young.
