Chapter 656 Cancelled

Chapter 11 Canceled
In fact, when Guardiola saw the field, he felt that the game was definitely not optimistic.

Behind the majestic outer wall of the Bird's Nest, when Guardiola led his players into the stadium, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Most of the court is covered with plastic film, and there are small puddles on the plastic film.

And the exposed half of the field is even more unsightly. The sparse turf is here and there, and it can't cover the mud exposed on the field at all.

Under continuous heavy rain, the grassland has turned into a small swamp.
Manchester City's players did not step on the field at all. When Guardiola faced such a field situation, he decisively took his players away-playing on such a field is undoubtedly harmful to the players' bodies. irresponsible.

And when the Manchester United players came to this field, they had similar expressions to Manchester City.

Li Qingshan tried to walk on the court, but when he stepped on the court, half of his ankle was stuck in the mud.
This is definitely not a field for a football game - otherwise the game would have turned into a mud football match.

In fact, when the team came to BJ, BJ was already raining, but the venue of the Bird's Nest looked... It didn't match the identity of its National Stadium.

Li Qingshan's face was burning with pain, this is China, in China's National Stadium, unexpectedly encountered such a bad venue, this really made Li Qingshan feel that he was ashamed in front of his teammates.
In the end, Manchester United naturally did not complete the stampede, and they left the Bird's Nest soon.

There are still two days before the game starts, I hope the organizers can solve the grass problem by then
On July 24, the pre-match press conference.

The head coaches of both sides mentioned the problem of the field.

Both Guardiola and Ancelotti looked stunned by the situation on the ground, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

Guardiola said, "I heard that BJ has been raining recently, and the field conditions will not be particularly good, so I will remind the players not to get injured before the season." Ancelotti also hopes that this derby will not have such a strong smell of gunpowder, "Manchester City The real match against Manchester United should take place in the league or the Champions League, and now it is a warm-up match, nothing is more important than ensuring the health of the players."

Ancelotti is indeed very worried about such a venue situation.

It has been three days since the team came to BJ, but in the past three days, the team has not been able to step on the field even once at the Bird's Nest Stadium-this kind of venue situation really makes Ancelotti dare not let his players Even if it is training on this field, let alone a competition.

"If the field situation doesn't improve, I suggest." Ancelotti glanced at Edward Wood who was sitting on the other side, "Cancel the game!!"

In the hotel where Manchester United lived, the team's head coach Carlo Ancelotti was presenting his own proposals with San Dezi, the head of the trip to China this time.

In fact, Edward Wood is obviously unwilling to cancel this game. This trip to China, at least in the first half, was very successful. San Dezi was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to expand Manchester United's influence.

But he also knows that the team coach's concerns are very reasonable.

After all, for a team, the most important asset is the players it owns. If many main players are injured because of a warm-up match, it will undoubtedly be worth the candle.

"There is still one day before the game. If the organizers don't solve the venue problem tomorrow, it will not be too late for us to cancel it!" Edward Wood said after thinking for a while.

He reached out to stop Ancelotti who was about to say something.

"I know the severity, don't worry."

Ancelotti had no choice but to give up, frowning and walked out of the room...

In fact, until the next day, that is, on the match day, when Manchester United's staff came to the Bird's Nest again, they saw a lush green field.

But before the staff member had time to be pleasantly surprised, he smelled a smell of paint.

He squatted down and looked carefully at the field.

The grass is still sparse, but the mud has become lush green. From a distance, it looks like a perfect football field.

The field was painted with green paint! !

When the furious Manchester United staff reported to Edward Wood, San Dezi was also shocked and speechless
The opponent's attitude towards football is really perfunctory, and the opponent is not a professional sports team at all.

I heard that the organizer of the China Division of the International Champions Cup is an Internet company.The other party may be really good at publicity and superficial work like this.

But this is football, and San Dezi also needs to be responsible for the health of his players! !

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Inform the opponent that Manchester United refuse to play on such a venue!!"

After making this decision, San Dezi let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems that China's plan to make a fortune is going to be greatly discounted.

Almost at the same time, Leshi Sports, the organizer of the International Champions Cup China Division, was notified by Manchester United and Manchester City.

Although the wording is different, the meaning is clear.

Both teams refuse to play on such a field! !
This made Leshi Sports panic.Despite their desperate phone calls, the two teams were determined.

The Bird's Nest grounds are terrible, they don't even play on such grounds! !

Five hours before the start of the game, Leshi Sports finally gave up its efforts.

5 hours before the kick-off, the International Champions Cup Organizing Committee announced that due to the continuous heavy rainfall in BJ recently, in order to ensure the safety of players and fans, the International Champions Cup Organizing Committee decided to cancel the international match between Manchester United and Manchester City tonight. Champions Cup.However, some people on the Internet pointed out that the weather in BJ is clear and the weather is good. The reason for the cancellation of the game is very likely that the turf conditions cannot meet the requirements of both teams.

When the news was released, almost all reporters, media, and fans were stunned, and some even looked at the calendar—is this April Fool's Day?
But when both Manchester United and Manchester City confirmed the news of the organizers through their official channels, the fans realized that this was not an April Fool's Day joke, but a game that had already been confirmed. A game that was already sold out was canceled due to the terrible venue at the Bird's Nest - National Stadium! ! !

cancelled! !
