This old man is none other than the president of the Tranmere Club, Mark Parrios.

The amiable and humble old man, a former FA CEO, took over the club after his retirement, and it was with his wealth of experience that he kept the semi-professional team in breaking even, and a few years ago he also made a massive renovation of the team's home stadium, which was a great credit to the team and very much respected by the local team.

Although Duan Yun is now well-known in China, in the UK, there are only a few people who know him, so when he saw Prince Harris taking the initiative to greet this yellow-skinned and black-haired Asian, Mark immediately asked curiously.

He is the winner of the Fields Medal at this year's World Congress of Mathematicians, Mr. Duan Yun from Huaxia. When Prince Harris heard this, he turned to Mark and said.

"Uh, I see!" When Mark heard this, he suddenly felt a little more respectful in his eyes when he looked at Duan Yun again.

The social status of scientists in European and American countries is far higher than that in China, especially the top scientists who have won the Fields Medal, and they are idols who are highly respected in all aspects.

"Hello Prince Harris, we're meeting again. After Duan Yun walked in front of Harris, he greeted with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Duan Yun, you are very welcome to come to our club to watch the game today. At this time, Mark also took the initiative to smile and stretched out his hand to Duan Yun.

"Ah...... Hello. Duan Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw Mark, he didn't know Mark himself.

"This is today's host, Mr. Mark Parrios, the president of the Tranmere Club. Prince Harris smiled and introduced to Duan Yun.

"Hello Mr. Mark, it is a great honor to meet you. Duan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then shook hands with him with a smile.

"Mr. Mark, Mr. Duan Yun is not only a world-renowned mathematician, he is also a professional player in China, the level is very high, he has been selected for the national team, today's friendly match, Mr. Duan Yun and I will play, I hope you can prepare the right jersey and shoes for him in advance. Prince Harris continued.

"Mr. Duan Yun is actually a professional player of the Chinese national team!?" Mark's face suddenly became a little more shocked when he heard this.

In his opinion, it is quite unbelievable for Duan Yun to win the Fields Medal at such a young age, and it is unbelievable to hear that Duan Yun is still a member of the Chinese national team!

"The level of football in our country is not very high, and I really hope to learn something new here. Duan Yun said to Mark with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Duan Yun is young and promising, very remarkable!" Hearing this, Mark's face barely recovered, and then he gave Duan Yun a thumbs up, and then said, "Two of you, please come to the VIP room, the game will start in an hour." ”

After Mark finished speaking, he turned his head and settled in a few words to a young staff member beside him, and Duan Yun and Prince Harris were taken to the VIP area of the stadium.

In addition to Prince Harris and Duan Yun, there are also a number of other local London celebrities, including a veteran comedian who lives in London, a tennis champion of the Commonwealth Games, and the lead singer and keyboardist of the well-known local band '*barrel'.

As the only 'foreigner' in this invitational tournament, Duan Yun has also received a lot of attention, in general, the atmosphere in the VIP room is very good, free drinks and buffets are provided here, and you can see the interior of the entire stadium with the window, the environment is very good, and it is very suitable for socializing.

Following Harris's side, Duan Yun also talked with these local London celebrities for a while, and also exchanged business cards with each other.

At this time, the stadium has opened its doors, and many fans have poured into the stadium with excitement on their faces.

Generally speaking, football matches are not scheduled to be played in the morning, mainly because the temperature is a little cold in the morning, and for the sake of business and fans, generally weekend football games are played in the afternoon, considering that the afternoon games will have enough time for fans to rest, eat, and then drive to the stadium.

However, today's situation is a little special is that today is Sunday, and according to the weather forecast, from noon to afternoon, there will be a rainstorm in London, and the sky is already a little cloudy at this time, and as a traditional charity ball game with a history of decades, it is not easy to change the game time, and Manchester United will only stay in London for two days this time, so the club finally decided to arrange this year's charity exhibition match this morning.

Despite this, there were still a lot of fans in attendance today, which shows that the locals are quite supportive of Tranmere FC.

"Let's go to the VIP seats, the game is about to start. At this time, after Prince Harris received the notice from the staff, he turned his head and said to Duan Yun.

"Okay. Duan Yun nodded, and then followed the aisle next to the group and directly entered the VIP seat of the court.

By this time, the game was about to start, and before that, the Tranmere club staged a small episode.

Before this competition, someone generously paid 1,000 pounds to replace all the cheering instruments and drums for the official fan club. They warmly invited Mark Parrios, hoping that he would be the first to beat the new drum. To the accompaniment of even louder, Mark and the fans sang together, and everyone couldn't stop smiling.

Seeing this scene, Duan Yun seemed to have a new understanding of the definition of 'happy football'.

The participation of the whole people, strong interactivity, and the great emphasis on the sense of ritual are some of the valuable things that Duan Yun has gained in the UK.

Then, with tens of thousands of fans singing the team song in unison, Manchester United and Tranmere both entered the stadium.

From the scene, the atmosphere of this game is still quite harmonious, and the club chairman Mark took the microphone and said a few words before announcing the official start of the game.

For the outcome of this game, for everyone on the scene, there is basically no suspense.

After all, the difference in strength and reputation between the two sides is too great, one is a world-renowned top team, and the other is just an amateur team in a small town, which is stronger and which is weaker, very clear.

But for Tranmere fans, it's exciting to be able to watch a big club like Manchester United up close and personal on their own doorstep, so no one really cares if the home team wins or loses this game.

Even so, the two teams are very professional players, take the game quite seriously, and from the very beginning of the game, they went all out to attack!
