Arthur has been yearning for the African savannah for several years, whether in the past life or in this life, Arthur has traveled to Asia, Europe, and the Americas, but Africa and Oceania have never made the trip. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, security in Africa has always been very problematic, so Arthur specially hired two experienced security teams with high salaries - one from the United Kingdom, the other from Africa, plus Arthur's own 3 bodyguards, a total of 12 security forces.

And Arthur in this life is no longer a scholar who is powerless, and he can barely be regarded as a firearms master.

Arthur was still uneasy, and chose to sign up for a group trip - but there were only 14 of them in the whole tour group, plus the tour guide and driver.

The flight time from London to Kenya was 5 hours, and after 12 noon, it arrived safely at Nairobi Airport, the capital of Kenya, East Africa.

Africa, finally set foot on African soil.

For Africa, Arthur has only heard of his name, and today is the first time he has come to the land of Africa.

At a hotel outside Abdail National Park, Arthur and his party officially entered the park after eating Chinese food. As soon as he entered the park, Arthur saw a large buffalo and an animal that was not so good-looking.

"Pemba?" Compared to the big buffalo, which is not much to look at, Arthur clearly prefers this "Simba"'s best friend.

For most of the day that followed, Arthur also saw elephants, wildebeests, antelopes, and a black rhinoceros that he rarely saw.

The buffalo was the first to come to the pool, and then a black rhinoceros came, and in order to fight for the place, the buffalo and the rhinoceros competed, and the buffalo was bigger than the black rhinoceros, and won for the time being.

After a while, the elephants came, and the elephants went straight to the water's edge and drove away all the buffalo and rhinoceros.

In the afternoon, Arthur saw very few novel animals, only Peng Peng's family, there were more than a dozen, and when he began to see Peng Peng, Arthur was still a little excited, and kept asking: "Ding Man, where is Ding Man?" ”

In the next few days, Arthur's interest in Pumbaa completely disappeared, because he had seen too much.

The next day, Arthur and his party set off for Kourou National Park. Nakuru is best known for his flamingos, thousands of them, which are spectacular.

Kenya's highways are two-way two-lane, only from Nairobi there is an 80-kilometer highway, which is the best highway in the country, and the others are similar to China's domestic secondary roads, which is relatively good.

On these secondary roads, you can also see a lot of young people practicing long-distance running.

They do not have a training base, only on the road. Most of the fastest track and field athletes are from Africa, and in order to get rid of poverty since childhood, they can only use this as a way out, and if their results are good, they will be recruited by countries such as the United States, and they will be famous, and they will have everything.

Therefore, they are diligent and assiduous. Just to let the family live a good life.

The drive from one city to another is generally about 4 hours, not too far, and the windows are full of endless African plains on both sides.

Arthur and his party were not in a hurry because they had money and leisure, and every two hours, they would stop at a rest stop to rest and have a cup of coffee or a local snack.

The rest stop is actually a simple shopping spot, and most of the things in the shopping spot are carved from wood, such as dark wood, rosewood, etc., and some are carved from miscellaneous wood, depending on your eyesight.

Arriving at Lake Nakuru National Park, Arthur was drinking water outside the car when a groundhog suddenly came, not afraid of people at all, and the camera was full of sense.

All kinds of animals can be seen everywhere, giraffes, zebras, baboons, buffaloes, antelopes, elephants, moments are so close that they are completely in the animal world of the central station, but there is a lack of a strong baritone commentary.

White rhinos are rare in Kenya, only in Nakuru, not anywhere else, and it is true, and we never saw a rhinoceros again on our subsequent trips.

The wildebeest crossing on the banks of the Mara River is the highlight of the trip to Arthur Masai Mara National Park. Whether it is on a cliff, on a steep wall or on a river beach, whether there are hippos, crocodiles, or vultures hidden underneath, as long as the head horse takes the lead in jumping down, thousands of wildebeest and zebras behind will jump down desperately. There were countless deaths and injuries, but the wildebeest still moved forward bravely.

Kenyan cola is delicious, not as sweet as Pepsi and Coca-Cola. I saw local guides and drivers drinking Coke every day, and Arthur, who didn't like carbonated drinks, couldn't help but buy them and try them.

After buying it, I found out that Kenyan cola is so characterful, and each bottle has its own name.

Here, wildebeests, zebras are everywhere, cheetahs, lions, jackals are not uncommon, hippos, crocodiles are also waiting by the river.

Most of the primitive civilians in the African savannah lived in a family unit, looking for a place with trees, and all the houses formed a circle. The houses are all mounds of dirt and are very low. The door is only about 1 meter high, so you have to bend down hard to get in. The inside is very small, there is no electricity, and it relies on an opening in the top of a roof to bring in light. There was nothing outside the dam. It's all dust. There are flies everywhere, too many to count.

The children sat everywhere, their faces covered in dust. When they saw Arthur and his party coming, they all ran home quickly, and then hid at the door to peek.

Arthur bought a lot of candy and distributed it to them, and when they caught it, they immediately opened it and ate it, and the flies flew around. The face, mouth, and body were full of flies. It's really sad to watch.

Arthur is said to have been the son of a local chief. But according to Arthur's analysis, it should be the staff of the local government or something, because his English is very good, and a closed civilian brigade will not have such a high culture.

It's hard to eat, how can you afford to send your children to college?

African countries do not have high incomes in the first place, and there is no such thing as nine-year compulsory education.

The half-month trip to the African savannah fulfilled Arthur's dream of Africa. And it really didn't need to be a trip, which completely changed Arthur's view of Africa.

However, Arthur's arrival in Africa is not entirely a private matter, and it can be regarded as official business.

With satellite clubs in both the Americas and Europe, Arthur naturally set his sights on the physically fittingly available African players, and when it didn't go well to establish satellite clubs in Eastern Europe, Arthur set the next stop for the satellite clubs on the continent.

As for the establishment of satellite clubs in Asia and Oceania for the purpose of developing young players?

Sorry, even in the last year of Arthur's last life, 2016, he could not see the possibility of success on these two continents.

In the future, in the major leagues, Arthur may buy a club to play with.

Over the past few decades, African football has come a long way, and Africans' love for football has sometimes reached an extreme level of madness, resulting in a series of football tragedies in Africa, and many passionate fans have fallen victim to football.

In the 60s of the 20th century, football tragedies occurred frequently on the American continent, and in May 1964, a football riot in Lima, Peru, killed a total of 318 people. By the 80s of the 20th century, the specter of death began to drift to European football. The Moscow massacre in 1982 killed 340 people, and the Helesberg massacre in England alarmed dignitaries from all over the world, and the entire United Kingdom lowered its flag at half-mast in mourning.

In the 21st century, all leagues have strengthened their security measures, but African football is still lagging behind. In the past decade, most of the riots and tragedies in world football have occurred in Africa.

In 2000, 13 people were killed in a stampede after a World Cup qualifier between South Africa and Zimbabwe. Since then, there has hardly been a year in Africa without a stadium tragedy.

Just last year, between mid-April and early May, Africa experienced four major football disasters, known as Africa's Black Football Month by football historians: on April 16, 2001, 47 people were killed in a fan riot at Ellis Stadium in the South African capital.

Two weeks later, fan riots broke out again in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing 14 people and injuring 51.

In May, there was another stadium riot in Johannesburg, South Africa, in which 43 people were killed.

On 9 May, 130 people were killed and hundreds injured in the most notorious Ghanaian football tragedy in the history of African football, when a fan riot broke out in a domestic league derby in the capital.

Because of the backward economic level, many stadiums in Africa are relatively dilapidated, coupled with organizational chaos, which has buried safety risks for stadium riots. Many stadiums in Africa do not have guardrails, and the stadiums are completely open, so it is not uncommon for fans to climb trees to watch the game and climb on telephone poles to watch the game.

German coach Pffist, who led Togo to the '06 World Cup in Arthur's previous life, once said: "Every time I go to those countries to play, I get my heart pounding because the stands are so shabby. ”

Not only that, but "overloading" of the stadium is also common. In the Johannesburg tragedy in South Africa in '01, 120,000 tickets were sold for the stadium with a capacity of 70,000 people, but the stadium collapsed due to the crowding of unticketed fans.

At the same time, security at the Africa Stadium was generally not strict enough, and some fans entered the stadium with "lethal weapons" such as sticks or machetes, because there was no security in place at the stadium, which also set the stage for a series of bloody clashes. The BBC even pointed out that many Egyptian fans were watching the game with knives.

In Africa, when there is a fan riot, the police often throw tear gas because of the lack of manpower, which also leads to the escalation of football violence.

At a World Cup qualifier in Zimbabwe in 2000, more than 50,000 spectators stood and raised their hands in salute with the courtesy gestures of the opposition party, and some chanted slogans in support of the opposition party.

The police then fired tear gas into the area where people were gesticulating, killing 13 spectators, including four children, in the resulting chaos.

Last year's Ghana tragedy, when there was a riot between fans on both sides, and the police in charge of security actually closed the doors of the stadium and threw tear gas at the fans, which led to a massive stampede and 130 people died in the chaos, leading to the biggest tragedy in football in the 21st century.

"According to the obvious conclusions reached by the Ghanaian government, the primary responsibility for this tragedy is clearly with the police." Senior presidential aide Obertsey Lamptey said at a press conference afterwards. The six officers who ordered tear gas to be fired into the stands were also charged, but the court released them two years later.

In response, the police used "tactics against terrorists" such as grenades and tear gas, which caused chaos in the scene.

"We were just protesting peacefully, and we weren't using violence." One worker, Nzoli, complained, "We were caught off guard by the presence of the police, who used tear gas and rubber bullets as soon as they came up." Treat us like terrorists completely! ”

Tear gas seems to have become a "repertoire" in African football.

Due to the chaotic football environment, a large number of African players have to go to Europe when they are teenagers, and they no longer have any confidence in African football, and their domestic leagues simply cannot provide them with a reliable livelihood.

Wars, economic backwardness, plagues, and the lack of well-functioning professional leagues in most African countries. The picture shows a Kenyan teenager training in a sludge field.

In the absence of a professional league, many African footballers have chosen to leave their home countries, such as Didier Drogba, who currently plays for Blackburn, who followed his uncle Michel Goba to France at the age of five.

In such an environment, will Arthur stubbornly follow the example of Bear Shot and Gremio and buy an African football club?
