[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

Manchester United's first cup of the season is the Charity Shield.In a sense, it is a game close to a friendly match.Manchester United's opponent is Chelsea.At this time, Chelsea is still a mid-level team in the Premier League. They may have the title of "giant killer", but they are more likely to be defeated by a team in the relegation zone in the next game.

This is also the first game for Aarau to travel with the team, although Boss did not give him a chance to play.

I sat on the team bus with the kid, and he was fascinated by the scenery outside the window.I thought to myself, how can the Charity Shield Cup be regarded as a champion, "Speaking of which, are you nervous?" It seems that all the old-timers will ask the newcomers this way, right?

Alao slowly turned his head, one of his eyebrows raised showing a half-smile expression, and then turned back without saying a word.

I thought to myself that it was definitely because I was too kind to him at ordinary times, so that he didn't have the consciousness to respect me at all.So I stretched out my hand and snapped his head away, afraid that the Boss would say that I was bullying (...although I still don’t feel like I’m bullying him), I lowered my head slightly and moved closer, “I’m asking you something, kid.”

He didn't try hard to compete with me, he turned his head and stared at me without saying a word.Looking at the face so close at hand, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.

Gary behind him said leisurely, "I thought you were going to teach the rookies a lesson, and I was going to cheer you on. You're playing hooligans, David?" Thumbs up to express support, "It's not because of your question that Aarau dislikes you. In the Charity Shield Cup, Aarau can't play even if he is a substitute. Why is he nervous?"

I curled my lips, although I knew what they said was right, but I felt that the kid really didn't give face. "Maybe I will enter Wembley Stadium, so I will be nervous?" Aarau laughed, "There is nothing wrong with saying that."

The Neville brothers didn't speak, but Paul Scholes in the front row turned around and interjected. Paul had a common gentle smile on his face. In Boss' eyes, the midfielder who will succeed Cantona is completely different from the former King of Manchester United. different personalities. "Speaking of Aarau, you are the most..." He paused for a second, struggling between 'like' and 'hate', before giving up the former, "Which team do you hate?"

Probably a few of us can expect him to like, the answer will always be the untimely Real Madrid.And 'hate'... he answered Barcelona without thinking.

I guess some of us regretted it at the same time, and Paul even looked back at the Boss, and then raised a finger to his mouth to signal a lower voice.

The kid shrugged his shoulders, his movements were unspeakably handsome, "It's not just because of Real Madrid, it's really not just because of Real Madrid." He repeatedly emphasized, but to be honest, we didn't believe it.Lots of haters on Barcelona, ​​plus the 'ex-Real Madrid' tag, and it's a no-brainer.

He is now excited, "Arena Stadium in Amsterdam is Ajax's youth training base, de-toekomst." The Neville brothers have already started a new topic, but Paul listened with interest, " I know that for sure, after all the Ajax youth academy was once so famous."

Yes, the Ajax academy 'was' that famous.They are famous for their de-toekomst, which means future in Dutch.

When it comes to Ajax, what I have to say is naturally the Bosman Act.

The reason why the Bosman Act is called a subversive event in the history of world football is not because it protects the interests of many players, but because it makes many small European clubs perish.The most direct impact is the wealth gap between the clubs. The giants can easily persuade those players whose contracts are about to expire to join them. They can transfer the transfer fees that should have been paid to the players' salaries. Such a good thing, of course, the players willing to accept.

As the players trained by themselves were taken away by the high salaries of European giants one by one, the traditional powers such as Ajax, Dynamo Kiev and Auxerre, which were once incomparable in the European arena, have declined, and more unknown clubs , you can only end your life with bankruptcy.

It was once again.

"Maybe because I am Dutch, so what we are proud of is that Ajax won the Champions League three consecutive times with their local youth training, in 70, 71, and 72 years. At the same time, they defeated AC Milan in 95. Won the fourth, we all believe that Ajax can create another era... But we all know that after the bill was promulgated, a large number of players were taken away by Barcelona with high salaries, even youth training players... So I hate this ball The team is a matter of course. Of course, there is also the Real Madrid factor."

Paul sighed, maybe as non-Dutch people, like the two of us, we don't feel deeply about this, and it can even be said that Manchester United is still a beneficiary of the Bosman Act.But in the hearts of the Dutch, this is an eternal pain.

"If you admire Ajax so much, and you are from Amsterdam, why did you go to Spain instead of staying in the world-famous Ajax youth training?" After all, no matter how you look at it, at that time, especially in the Dutch In the eyes, Ajax's youth training is enough to kill all the youth training in the world.

Paul asked what I had been wondering about. He was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly became obscure.

It was that look again, the same look that made me drive this question back when he first came.

The bus was gradually driving towards the destination, and Paul still looked like he was waiting for the answer. I stroked the kid's soft half-length hair, and once again sighed that it felt awesome, "Look, Wembley Stadium." Overhead.

Paul looked at me, and I saw a hint of doubt in his eyes, one might even call it doubt.

However, since he hasn't figured it out yet, how to answer this question.

forget about it.

-

The Charity Shield, held at Wembley Stadium before the start of the league.Wembley Stadium is located in London, England. It is the home stadium of the England national team and also hosts the finals of various domestic competitions in England.It has witnessed the glorious moment of England's World Cup victory, although it dates back to 1966.

But even if that memory seems to have been buried by the years, Wembley Stadium will always be the love of England.

"The design capacity of Wembley Stadium is 127000 people, so the question is, what is the maximum number of spectators at Wembley Stadium?" A few of us got off the bus in line, and Aarau followed me, so I continued to educate him Knowledge.I was waiting for him to look at me with reverence, but I saw him looking at me even more strangely.

Ryan was behind Aarau, and when he heard this, he said, "It's not that David was stupid again this time (...what is stupid? And what is it called again?) The FA Cup final at Wembley in 1923, because There is no advance ticket sales, so you can enter as long as you pay at the entrance. However, there are more fans than you can imagine. Watching his white horse struggle to guide the fans back to the stands, it barely started."

"The official statistics for the post-match final was 127000 spectators, of course because this is the official maximum capacity. But it is generally estimated that the total number of fans who entered the game was 24 or even 30. Because of the scene of the mounted police, it was called For the 'White Horse Final'. Everyone new to Wembley will be educated about this." I was going to refute Ryan Giggs' question about my assessment, but probably still showed me with Aarau. It is even more important to be a learned person.

"The most important thing you should know when you come to Wembley is the 'White Horse Final'? Haha, this is the coldest joke I heard today." Roy Keane was sitting with Ryan just now, and now he laughed dryly, "Speaking of it , David, you have been talking non-stop along the way, I just found out that you have the potential to talk."

"David, he is too nervous."

I think Aarau was trying to speak for me, but it sounded ironic to anyone.

Roy’s old problem is happening again. I remembered that he never said anything about me easily. Now since Aarau came, Roy has passed all the tolerance (?) on him, so that it seems that he has accumulatively treated me for 5 years. The resentment was vented together (does he hate me very much?).Speaking of which... I admit that Aarau is pretty, but did he really take away the name of my team grass so easily?

The old problem I was referring to happened again, when Alao just finished speaking, this man who had an expression of "You kid teasing me" one second, blessed the Holy Light of "I am the reliable and reliable captain" the next second , with a serious and serious face, but what he said was particularly inappropriate, "The grass at Wembley Stadium is as bad as a rotten vegetable field."

Alao nodded seriously, and when he got out of the car, he tugged at me and complained in a low voice, "...Actually, the grasslands of the Premier League teams are said to be like rotten vegetable fields."

... I comforted myself in my heart not to blame the kid, which meant that he didn't treat me as an outsider, let alone that he was just a child.

But he still couldn't hold back and gently tugged at his hair, "Who told you this?" He gave me a vicious look, and the little husky pulled his cherished long hair away from my hand, but it hurt He exhaled softly, "Raul."

I paused slightly when I heard the name, "The Spanish golden boy? The very delicate one?"

"...Delicate? You're saying that because you haven't met Jose before..." The boy's eyes flashed cunning, and he could still see his white canine teeth when he smiled.

"...Probably because I didn't see you at the time, I said that." I tried my best to speak in a serious tone, but saw the child pouted and turned to Roy and said, "Captain, David is bullying me again."

Roy was still complaining to Ryan a second ago, feeling that the newly joined Sheringham was unreliable.The next second his expression changed, "David, how can you bully newcomers? Manchester United has never had this tradition."

... When did I bully the rookies?What's more, hasn't the tradition of the Premier League always been this?

But I couldn't think of who the "Jose" he was talking about for a while, maybe he was the same youth training teammate as "Igor"?However, "Didn't I take you to Old Trafford? The grass there didn't satisfy you?"

He looked hesitantly at Roy and Ryan who could not be heard from a little distance away, and I understood that he still knew who had a good temper (...or bullying?) "Words of the grass... the sunshine of Iberia And the rain in Manchester, you know what I mean?

...Speaking of which, how did he know that the drainage at Old Trafford was poor?

The author has something to say:

It is a common saying that the stadiums in the Premier League are much rougher than those in La Liga, and Wembley is not much better.

Guti was not yet famous at this time... He participated in the Spanish U98 European Football Championship in 21 and won the championship, but in fact he became famous all over the world after a long time.

Many people like him, many people hate him.But 23333, anyway, I'm a fan of Lord 14, why don't you prostitute him and open BG——

Then there is about Manchester United's lineup. Most people say that after Cantona retired, Keane and Scholes formed a double midfielder.Of course, Keane focuses on defense, and Scholes is equivalent to a central midfielder in charge of assisting defense, but focuses on offense.

It is also my personal understanding, which may be biased.

I'm so happy to be able to enter the main text with one more chapter (I'm crazy, I know...

It is said that I told people about the Dutch national team in a certain group the other day, and the pretending was a success!
