Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 255 Manchester United Spirit
In the afternoon, Liu Yun, Isabella and Liu Xiaoyan came outside Old Trafford.

Old Trafford, home of Manchester United.There are so many memories here.

Old Trafford was built in 1902 and has been the home of Manchester United.During World War II, Old Trafford was razed to the ground when the German Air Force bombed Manchester.After the war, Manchester rebuilt Old Trafford. In 1949, after nearly a decade, Manchester United finally returned to the newly built Old Trafford.

Liu Yun stared at the stadium.Although he has never been here before, it carries his youthful memories.When he was young, how many nights he watched the superstars of Manchester United's class of 92 on TV, presenting wonderful games one after another to the fans at Old Trafford.

Old Trafford has another name, that is - Dream Theater!

How many superstars have walked out of the Theater of Dreams?Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Giggs, Cantona, Beckham, Rooney, Ronaldo. . . . . . .Countless.

As the years change, Old Trafford stands here quietly, witnessing the changes of history and the passage of time.

Elizabeth pointed to the stadium in front of her and said to Liu Xiaoyan: "Oh, my dear little princess, look, this is Old Trafford, where your father will fight in the future."

Liu Xiaoyan hugged Elizabeth's arm: "I know this place. That guy Qu Bai's biggest dream now is to come back from Belgium in a few years and play here!"

The three circled around Old Trafford.To the east of the stadium, they saw the Munich Air Disaster Memorial.

1958年2月6日。英国欧洲航空公司“博利勋爵号”专机在西德慕尼黑机场积雪的跑道上第三度尝试起飞失败坠毁。机上23人遇难。遇难者中包括8名曼联队主力球员。当时年仅21岁，被喻为英格兰明日之星的球员邓肯爱德华身受重伤，留院多日后伤重不治。。。。

Before the Munich air disaster, Manchester United had just eliminated the Belgrade Red Star in the away game and advanced to the semi-finals of the 1957/1958 Champions League.At that time, Manchester United was recognized as the strongest team in Europe.

After the Munich air crash, Manchester United lost most of their key players.The surviving main players were also seriously injured and could no longer play.Manchester United appear to be on the brink of recovery.

However, manager Busby returned to Manchester United after six months in a hospital bed.He vowed to reproduce the glory of Manchester United, to use the championship to comfort the souls of the Munich air disaster.

Manchester United's road to rebirth has gone a long way. In 1963, Manchester United won the FA Cup, announcing the return of the king.A new generation of Red Devils represented by Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best rose up. In 1968, 10 years after the Munich Air Disaster, coach Busby finally led Manchester United to win the European Cup again.

During the award ceremony, coach Busby raised the Champions Cup eight times, and each time he raised it, he called out the name of a player who died in the Munich air disaster.Bobby Charlton and other players cut their fingers one after another, dripped blood into the Champions Cup, and then dripped on the court to comfort the lost souls.At that moment, Manchester United achieved a complete rebirth after the Munich air disaster.

This is the spirit of the Red Devils Manchester United, even if they encounter disasters, they will never succumb to fate.

It coincides with the monument on the bombing square in Coventry.On the Munich Air Disaster Memorial, the British poet William is also engraved.Henry's poem "Invincible".

"Through the night that covers me, I see layers of darkness. Thank you God for my unconquerable soul. Even if I am held tightly by hell, I will not fear, nor will I yield. Fate's blows, My head was covered with blood, but my head was raised.

Beyond the world of rage and sorrow looms shadows that are more than fear.Also, face future threats.You will find that I have nothing to fear.

No matter how narrow the gate of fate is, and no matter what kind of punishment one bears.I am the master of my destiny.I am the commander of my soul! "

Liu Yun is about to join such a team with a tradition of unyielding spirit.

Liu Yun's heart was full of emotions.Maybe I won't have the chance to play for a long time when I come to Manchester United.Maybe he has not been recognized by the fans and the head coach for a long time-this is somewhat similar to his situation when he first entered the Coventry team.However, as long as you do your best, seize every opportunity.One day, he will start on the turf of Old Trafford and win the applause of the fans!
The three continued to walk forward, and they saw the statues of three Manchester United legends-Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Dennis Law.These three people are known as the three saints of Manchester United.It was these three people who carried the banner of the team after the Munich air crash and eventually helped Manchester United to rise again.

There is also a statue in front of Sir Alex Ferguson, the meritorious coach of Manchester United.

Ferguson coached Manchester United for 27 years and established the Manchester United dynasty in the 90s. During his 27 years of coaching, he brought the team 38 championship trophies and was elected the best coach of the Premier League season 11 times.A few years ago, he was judged by IFFHS as the best coach in the first decade of the 21st century.He definitely deserves the honor of erecting a bronze statue.

Elizabeth pointed to the bronze statue of the old man and said to Liu Xiaoyan, "Look, this is the man who helped your father a lot a few days ago."

Liu Xiaoyan asked strangely: "You helped my father a lot? Aren't bronze statues erected for the dead? How can the dead help my father?"

Liu Yun said to his daughter, "No, he is a living legend."

Today is not the opening day of the stadium.Therefore, the stadium is not open for tourists to visit.The three of them couldn't walk into the stadium to take a look.

On a bench outside the court, the three sat down to rest for a while.

Isabella asked Liu Yun: "Honey, this stadium is a brand new starting point for you, a brand new world."

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes. It's hard to describe the feeling of starting a new adventure at the age of 46. It's like going to school on the first day when I was a child. I'm afraid that my performance will make the teacher unhappy."

Isabella said to Liu Yun: "I don't know much about football. But I believe in you. You are a man with extraordinary courage and perseverance. I believe you can succeed here!"

The eccentric Liu Xiaoyan suddenly said: "I see it this way, when my father scores a goal in this stadium, Aunt Isabella, you will marry my father! Be my mother!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyan put on an expression that I had the final say: "Okay, it's such a happy decision!"
