[Football] Anti-system

Let us turn the time back half a month ago, when Manchester United just started training.

The end of a pleasant vacation can't make everyone calm down and turn their attention back to training. When taking sample photos of the new jersey, everyone is still whispering about each other's information, showing off what they have done, Ask where everyone else has been, while mentally planning where to go during next year's summer break.

Scorpius didn't participate in their discussion, but stood beside Rooney and rolled up the cuffs of his new jersey. The cuffs were looser than he imagined. He was a little worried that the sauce would be rubbed on him accidentally when he was eating later. cuff.

Except for Ronaldinho and the England international in the team, he is not very familiar with the rest of the team, and there may even be some hatred. After all, Chelsea beat Manchester United four times last season, and he was there every time. He directly shattered Manchester United's Champions League dream last season.

For example, Van der Sar, who was scored seven or eight goals by Scorpius, now feels a burst of angina when he sees his face.

But at least he can comfort himself in his heart that it will not be him but Petr Cech who will face this face next season, and he will no longer have to meet this face in club games.

Thinking about it makes me happy.

In contrast, Scorpius sighed in his heart. He didn't need to worry about being excluded in the Manchester United team, where almost half of them were from England, but he felt the malice from Sir Alex Ferguson.

The one-on-one communication between him and Sir Alex Ferguson was okay, Ferguson would try his best to speak "London Mandarin", but when facing everyone in the team, the head coach went straight to Glasgow, Scotland mixed with Manchester City. Taste of English.

But it was hardly the same language as the British and Cockney accents he had learned.

After Ferguson finished speaking, Scorpius sat on the spot in a tangled state, his face full of bewilderment.Looking carefully, he is not the only one who has this situation. Hargreave is also more or less as confused as him, but the situation still seems to be much better than him.

Anderson, a teenager from Brazil, was better than these two Britons. He picked up his English during the holidays and learned Manchester City's authentic English, so listening to Ferguson's vernacular is not too difficult.

This hurts Scorpius.

He was not very sensitive to language at first, and he has always learned RP. Occasionally, he would speak with a raised voice and a soft accent that he had specially learned from Northern Ireland.Ferguson's accent really troubled him.

Britain is a small place, but it has the most serious class culture and 56 kinds of accents.

Generally speaking, British accents represent their own class, origin, and social status.Accent discrimination is a serious abuse in the UK.Generally speaking, RP is the accent that most British people want to pursue. Middle-class families do their best to send their children to private prestigious schools to learn RP, hoping to get closer to the so-called upper class.

Accent discrimination is so serious in the UK that if you go to a high-end restaurant for a meal, the other party will refuse to serve you as soon as they hear your accent.

What's even more frightening is that this kind of accent discrimination is not one-way, but two-way.Many experienced people will know which county you are from when they hear the accent, and can even pinpoint which district of a city you are from.

If a person comes to a certain place but takes a mouthful of RP, most of the locals will think that you are deliberately showing off.So generally speaking, many people have a magical skill, that is, one-click accent switching, and they can blend themselves into the local environment without any trace.

British people everywhere have their own special identity, self-esteem and stereotypes, and their circles have distinct classes. Whether they work together or eat together, they will carefully judge whether the other party belongs to the same circle as themselves. If the judgment is different, although On the surface, he will still give him face, but behind the scenes, he will still be sarcastic and stay away.

So seeing his national team teammates who seamlessly switched to a London accent with one click during the training camp in London, and now everyone speaks a Manchester Heavy Industry accent mixed with a Scottish flavor, Scorpius couldn't help but fell silent.

He actually forgot to make up for the Manchester accent in advance! ! !

After thinking about it, Chris’s accent with some small grapes and a little bit of Manchester and Scotland sounds more comfortable... At least he doesn’t understand England’s class culture, he will pay attention to speaking Mandarin... until the family portrait is taken, Scorpius They all hid in the corner and did their own things solemnly.He seems to understand why Manchester United's bad habit of excluding newcomers has always existed.I'm afraid it's not that Manchester United rejects it, but it's too difficult to quickly master this kind of English that is mixed with Manchester and Scotland at the same time. The British have a good face.

The other big brothers in England thought they knew the language a long time ago, and they also regarded it as the norm for each new English player to be silent for a period of time, and ignored it at all.

The young players from other countries looked at it: Good guy, the local household registration in the UK is rejected, so I dare not speak up!

In addition, there are Rooney, Ronaldo and Ferdinand in the team, these three star players who will die if they don’t do pranks. When they first came to Manchester United, they might feel more or less rejected and bullied.

Scorpius sighed, and stood aggrievedly next to Mr. Ronaldo when taking a family portrait, interrupting the whispered communication between Ronaldo and Pique.

Cristiano is discussing with Pique about the pair of diamond studs on his ears.

In fact, when I came this morning, everyone laughed at Ronaldo in the dressing room. Everyone knows that he spent this holiday in Ibiza with his family (not with his girlfriend) and was photographed again and again. Wearing this pair of diamond stud earrings every time.

Back in England, still wearing this pair of stud earrings.

The "Sun" directly ridiculed, because I got a full tan in Ibiza.Xiao Luo took off the pair of earrings in front of the mirror and found that two white spots of the same size were left on his ears, so he only dared to wear them all the time, waiting for his whites to come back.

That is of course not true.

Even if there are any traces left, Cristiano's other earrings can also cover them up.

What's more, Ronaldinho took off his earrings in public in the locker room to prove his innocence.

Then there is only one reason left.

He simply loves this pair of stud earrings.

Of course, Scorpius did not raise doubts, but Cristiano casually mentioned this matter and explained: it is a courtesy to wear gifts from others.

This sentence made Chris brag about himself repeatedly in his heart. Yes, he didn't because he liked it, or because he was very polite.

It also didn't imply that Scorpius wanted to put on the watch he gave him quickly!

What Pique was talking to Cristiano just now was to ask him with a small smile, could this pair of diamond earrings be given by his ex-girlfriend?Such a baby must have been dumped by him.

Xiao Luo immediately retorted: "Of course not! They said I dumped her!"

He wanted to say loudly that the pair of earrings were clearly sent by Scorpius, but he subconsciously felt that it was awkward to mention Scorpius' name at this time, so he opened his mouth and closed it again.

At this moment, the cameraman waved his hand and told them that it was ok. Now there is only one family portrait left to take, and everyone needs to stand up quickly and get in shape.

Cristiano thought for a moment and planned to stand in the back row, taking the opportunity to tiptoe secretly.

Who knew that Scorpius suddenly came over at this time, and stood beside him expressionlessly with a sullen little face.

Cristiano looked him up and down for a moment, then blurted out: "What are you doing here? Don't you miss me?"

Van der Sar's movements froze, and he turned his head to look at the two teenagers beside him.

Ronnie what's wrong with you Ronnie?I haven't seen you for a holiday, why am I as gay as these British people!

On the contrary, Scorpius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and felt relieved.

It's a good thing, Chris didn't switch accents with one click like his group of British friends.

He also didn't care what Ronaldinho said, he just thought it was an ordinary joke.Frowning slightly, he covered his lips aggrievedly and went to Chris's ear and complained in a low voice: "I don't understand what they are saying, and I don't understand what the boss said in the morning."

I just came to the studio with my teammates in a daze, then put on a new jersey, and went up to take a few hard photos.

In fact, it would not have been so exaggerated.

It was the accent he sounded like, and the pronunciation was like other words, which suddenly blurred the meaning of the entire sentence.And the speed of speech is very fast. For a while, he can only rely on replacing homophones for reading comprehension and blindly guessing the meaning of the context, and then he doesn't understand which word it is. He chattered a lot again, but he didn't have time to listen.

After hearing this, Cristiano looked him up and down for a long time. Is it normal for him not to understand when he first arrived in the UK, but Scorpius, who grew up in the British Isles, can’t understand English?

He couldn't believe it, but at the same time, he was overjoyed.

It is indeed possible that Sir Alex Ferguson did not consider this problem.

Scorpius is different from many players. He was born in the elite class, and the resources he got when he was born in this world may not be available to many people who work hard for a lifetime.He grew up listening to RP, American accent, London accent and French.

Most of the players in Manchester and England come from the working class, or from a family of players.

In the UK, the accent represents class, and the accent of the working class is more or less similar, so it is more or less acceptable even if you are new to Manchester.

But Scorpius is obviously not good enough.

How could a group of old men think that he couldn't understand, and Ferguson didn't think of it.

And even if you think about it, you can't change it, you can only make Scorpius work hard to adapt.

And now that his teammates can switch London accents with one click, he can't even understand what they are saying.It is really a bit embarrassing for a British to say this kind of thing to another group of British people, and they will not get any help. It makes them speak slowly when they communicate with Scorpius one-on-one.

Unexpectedly, the group of British people in the team let him take advantage of it.

He hugged Scorpius' shoulders with an expression of "it's okay, I'll cover you" with joy in his heart: "it's okay, you'll get used to things like accent."

Suddenly picked up a younger brother because of the deep-rooted accent problem in the UK, which is cool.

But Scorpius soon didn't know whether the decision he had made was right or wrong.

He looked at Cristiano, who was clearly as tall as him in the photo, but half a head taller than him.

Fell into an eerie silence.
