Throughout the twentieth century in China, Shanghai has always been a fashionable city, from the drunken city that never sleeps in the thirties and forties of the last century, to the fragrant Nanjing East Road in the fifties, and then to the capital of China's pop culture after the reform and opening up, Shanghai is not only the leader of the trend, but also the creator of fashion. [A lot of good novels]

Shanghai Nanjing Road is one of the most famous and prosperous commercial streets in the world, and it is also the earliest commercial street established after the opening of Shanghai, known as "the first commercial street in China".

On the night of the third day of November, the lights are on, the Nanjing Road is full of people, although the autumn tiger has passed, but it can not bear the crowd, it can still be said to be sweating like rain.

At 7:59 p.m., countdown numbers suddenly began to appear on several huge digital TV billboards on both sides of this busy road.

This scene attracted the attention of countless passers-by and stopped one after another. Everyone was puzzled, is today a special day? There was a countdown.

Ten seconds later, at twenty o'clock, the sports star who became a household name in China appeared on the billboard.

"I am Yang Fan, this is my story, this is my road to conquest, this is my road to superhero. ”

It's a three-minute comic strip that tells the story of the Chinese superstar's rise to fame, with a bit of a short animation feel like a bustling road, with pedestrians stopping to watch.

In the end, the comic image becomes a real person, and several photos appear.

Bundesliga Player of the Year 2007.

German Footballer of the Year 2007.

2007 European Golden Boy Award.

Two consecutive Bundesliga Golden Boots.

German Cup winner.

UEFA Cup winner!

In the summer of 2008, the European transfer champion came to Old Trafford and hoisted the Red Devils' jersey.

In the end, it was Yang Fan who scored that blood-boiling goal in an extremely domineering way.

Whether it is someone who understands the ball or someone who doesn't understand the ball, there is a burst of enthusiasm, and the pride in my heart arises spontaneously. This young man is now the first sports star in China, and countless people are fascinated by him, cheer for him, and be proud of him.

"My dream is to be a superhero, and I'm doing that. You can too, if you have a dream, you can act, and if you want to do it!" Wearing a Nike Nike jersey and sneakers, Yang Fan stood on the Old Trafford pitch and roared after scoring a goal.

That's right, this is Nike's three-minute commercial for Yang Fan's 'superhero', which was released for the first time in Shanghai today, not only in Shanghai, but also in Guangzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, and almost all large and medium-sized cities in China.

It can be said that Nike is definitely ambitious this time, and has spent a lot of effort to focus on promoting Yang Fan, in the words of Nike's senior management, that is, to use Yang Fan's influence in the Asia-Pacific region to snatch market share from the hands of the old rival Adidas to the greatest extent.

Not only in Chinese mainland, but also in Treasure Island, Hong Kong, Macau, Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Singapore, and throughout the Asia-Pacific region, Yang Fan's advertising videos are being screened.

And on the European continent, Nike will also start a promotional campaign in the coming days. Of course, the focus is on Asia, and as the most well-known football star in the whole of Asia, Yang Fan's influence is undoubted.

As soon as Nike's advertising film was launched, it caused great repercussions, especially in Chinese mainland, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese, Yang Fan's popularity soared again, and Nike also took advantage of this craze to carry out a series of activities, which can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the old rival Adidas.

On November 5, 2008, the UEFA Champions League group stage match day, Group E, Premier League giants Manchester United played Bundesliga side Wolfsburg at home.

This game should have attracted a lot of attention, but because Yang Fan was banned, the attention of this game has dropped a lot.

Manchester United won 2-1 away at the Volkswagen Stadium in their last game, but it was not the result of the game that attracted the most attention, but the red card awarded to Yang Fan by the young Turkish referee, which caused a huge controversy, and Yang Fan was also banned for attacking the referee.

And the referee's behavior did not even get the support of the home team Wolfsburg fans, after the game, the local media in Wolfsburg also criticized the Turkish referee, pointing out that this bad referee ruined the game and ruined the warm scene of Yang Fan's return to the Volkswagen Athletic Stadium.

Now, Manchester United are away to Wolfsburg again, Manchester United are missing Yang Fan, who has been banned for four games by UEFA, and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has also been suspended for his insults to the referee, and this game can only be watched from the stands, and it will be assistant coach Mike Ferran who will direct the team from the sidelines.

Before the start of the game, the director gave a close-up in the stands, and the close-up was Manchester United coach Ferguson, and next to him sat Yang Fan, the pair of masters and apprentices who were also banned sat together, with a bad expression on their faces, and beside them were two UEFA officials, they naturally did not come to Yang Fan, and the banned players had nothing to pay attention to, they were here to supervise Ferguson, which was to avoid Ferguson from using mobile phones, walkie-talkies and other communication tools to remotely direct the game.

"Hi, hello, uniform team. Yang Fan greeted them.

The faces of the two UEFA officials changed, and one of them said to Ferguson, "Mr. Ferguson, please take care of your players." ”

"It's not on the field again. Can you manage it?" Yang Fan said.

He's right. Ferguson nodded.

The faces of the two UEFA officials darkened with anger.

Ferguson naturally didn't have a good face for UEFA officials, and it is clear that the godfather of Manchester United is still expressing his dissatisfaction, and he is angry at UEFA's four-game ban on Yang Fan. Ferguson believes the punishment is clearly excessive. He is not worried about Manchester United qualifying from the group, Manchester United now has two wins and one draw in the first three games of the group stage, and there is no big problem in qualifying from the group, but Yang Fan's four-game ban means that Yang Fan will not only miss the remaining three games in the group stage, but also miss the first leg of the eighth-game game, which is a great loss for Manchester United. In the knockout round of the 16th, none of the opponents are easy to match, and the attacking strength of the Manchester United team without Yang Fan will definitely be greatly affected.

Therefore, it is strange that Ferguson can give UEFA a good face, as for Yang Fan, he regards goals and games as his life, and he can't wait to play 90 minutes in every game and be banned for four games, he is also very unhappy with UEFA and Platini, not to mention, he has always thought that he was wronged, and he was shown a red card because the referee was mistaken. If you want to go back to the roots, UEFA and referees are the ones who should be criticized.

Ferguson believes there will be no trouble for Manchester United in the group stage and he thinks a win is a good match for this game.

However, the game was not easy for Manchester United, and the score was still 0-0 until the 80th minute. Ferguson's face in the stands also began to look ugly, and Yang Fan was also a little anxious.

In the 85th minute, Tevez's breakthrough caused a push by Ricardo Costa, and Italian referee Rizzoli gave Manchester United a direct free kick about 25 meters from goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo was Manchester United's number one penalty taker and he stood at the penalty spot.

Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Benaglio is a big opponent and he knows the Portuguese free-kick is quite powerful.

Cristiano Ronaldo runs and shoots.

The ball went over the wall and fell as it was about to reach the goal.

Deciduous balls!

Damn! Benaglio cursed in his heart, he had already flown to the ball, but he didn't expect it to be a defoliating ball, and Benaglio, who had already thrown his weight out, couldn't stop it.

The soccer ball drills into the top left corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

There was a huge cheer over Old Trafford.

“cristianoronaldo――goooooooooooooaaaaaaaal！”

"Ronaldo scored, he scored!!, a beautiful direct free-kick!"

"One to zero! Manchester United finally broke the deadlock on the pitch. ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo's individual quality changed the game. ”

In the end, thanks to this direct free-kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United won 1-0 at home to Wolfsburg.

In this game, Manchester United won not easily, without Yang Fan, Manchester United's attack was affected, although there is Cristiano Ronaldo, however, the Portuguese became popular last season, which also made him the target of public criticism, and Manchester United's game, the opposing coach will definitely focus on how to mark Cristiano Ronaldo, although this cannot be said that Ronaldo's threat is reduced a lot, but it is always more difficult for the Portuguese to want to be as beautiful and kill as last season.

In fact, without knowing that Cristiano Ronaldo may transfer to Real Madrid, the media generally believes that Ferguson is trying to introduce Yang Fan against public opinion, just to enrich Manchester United's scoring means and find a helper for Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this analysis. With Yang Fan, Manchester United's offensive means are more comprehensive and the attack is sharper.

Manchester United beat Wolfsburg 1-0 at home and won three and drew one of their first four games in the group stage, taking 10 points.

In the other match in the same group, Villarreal and Celtic played to a draw, with the score being 1-1.

In this way, at the end of the four group games, Manchester United are top of the group with 10 points, Villarreal have 3 points, Celtic have also 3 points, and Wolfsburg are top of the group with 2 points.

With two group games remaining, Manchester United are seven points ahead of Villarreal and Celtic, so the Reds not only qualified for the group two rounds early, but also secured top spot in the group two games early.

This also made Ferguson breathe a sigh of relief, this game with Wolfsburg, Manchester United played hard, and the Red Devils without Yang Fan always had a little less anger in attack. Now, with the group top spot locked in early, the Reds can face the next two group games with a much more relaxed attitude, and even try to give more opportunities to the substitutes and young players.
