CCTV Sports Channel is repeatedly broadcasting advertisements for match previews.

"Seven years ago, he left here."

"After seven years, he returned here for the first time as an opponent."

"That red number seven in my memory."

"The full moon scimitar of memory."

"That handsome face with flowing blond hair."

"Seven years! Number Seven! ”

"2010.2.10, Manchester United vs Aston Villa! David Beckham is back at Old Trafford! ”

"Second place in the Premier League Manchester United against third placed Aston Villa!"

"A showdown that has attracted the attention of the world!"

This is a huge subtitle for the CCTV sports channel.

……

CCTV Sports Channel is right, this is a world-renowned game.

In the UK, the lively, even noisy, atmosphere about the game has long been permeating.

Aston Villa's Villa training base for the Villans.

Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Numerous media outlets have fielded capable lineups in both places, trying to get the big news.

To be precise, it is a war of words between the two teams that is trying in every possible way to detonate it.

Especially if Beckham and Ferguson could talk and have a verbal altercation, it would be wonderful.

In this game, there is only one protagonist, and that is Beckham.

It was Beckham's first return to Old Trafford as an opponent since leaving United in the summer of 2003.

Seven years later, David Beckham will return to Old Trafford wearing Aston Villa's number seven shirt.

The Guardian spoke to a selection of Manchester United fans about David Beckham's first return as rival in seven years, wanting to hear their attitudes.

Some fans said they still liked Beckham and they would welcome him back to Old Trafford with applause:

'He's a man of Manchester United, we loved him and we wouldn't hurt him now!'

Of course, there are also many fans who have made it clear that they will boo Beckham and will give Beckham a look.

"When he comes back here as an adversary, that's our enemy!"

Clearly, even Manchester United fans are ambivalent about Beckham.

Some people are grateful for his contribution to Manchester United and are willing to welcome him with tolerance and kindness, like a child who has changed his clothes and returned home.

There are also fans who are very dissatisfied with Beckham, who believes that Beckham chose to return to the Premier League, but did not choose Manchester United, but came back as an opponent, which is disloyal to Manchester United.

……

Manchester United fans' attitude towards Beckham, the media is very concerned.

However, it is clear that the media will be most concerned about Ferguson's attitude towards David Beckham's return to Old Trafford.

Ferguson told United's official magazine, Ied, that he is more focused on what's going on than in the past.

He said: 'The only difference between David [David Beckham's] coming back to Manchester United is that Aston Villa visit Old Trafford at least once a season and he will get a lot of media focus compared to the rest of the players. ”

The reporter asked Ferguson to comment on Beckham.

'He's a high-profile celebrity – not just a high-profile player – and we haven't really seen any other player get so much attention when they come back to Manchester United. Our job is to focus on the football game and let David . Keep the Beckham media spotlight on – and we know we're not going to stop it. ”

The reporter immediately asked, did the old gentleman regret driving away Beckham, who was in the year of fighting?

Ferguson was expressionless: No regrets, after some people left, we will have more good players and we will move on.

"If Beckham scores......" the reporter continued to ask.

"Are you a Manchester United journalist or not? Do you want us to lose the game? Ferguson was furious and yelled at the reporter.

The poor reporter shivered under the old man's hairdryer.

Looking at the back of Ferguson's angry departure, the head of Manchester United's official magazine rushed to his feet when he heard the news, and he pointed at the poor reporter and scolded, "What questions did you ask?" ”

"I, I'm just saying if Beckham scores ......"

The person in charge glared at the reporter, he deserved it, he dared to ask this question.

As a long-time employee of Manchester United's official magazine, the person in charge is well aware of the story between Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, and is not referring to the feuds that have been reported in the media.

He was referring to Ferguson's feelings for Beckham.

Ferguson really sees Beckham as his son.

However, his proudest son turned against him.

Let's not talk about who is right and who is wrong.

This question is equivalent to asking, how do you feel that the son who 'went out' of the house came back and stabbed you?

It's no wonder that the old man isn't angry.

……

This side of the Villa training base.

The reporters also interviewed Fang Jue.

I'd like him to share his thoughts on David Beckham's return to Old Trafford.

"It's just a normal league." Fang Jue said.

This answer obviously did not satisfy the journalists.

"This is David Beckham's return to Old Trafford." A reporter shouted.

"It's Luther [Ruud van Nistelrooy] coming back to Old Trafford." Fang Jue retorted, "This is still Ashley Yang facing the old master." ”

What he meant was to remind the media that Ruud van Nistelrooy's return to Old Trafford and Ashley Young's face of his former boss Aston Villa were also big highlights, and don't keep staring at Beckham, who is hanging from the crooked neck tree.

However, no eggs are used.

Journalists certainly know that there are also stories about this match, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ashley Young.

If it is plain, the topic of these two players is also more gimmicky.

However, compared to David Beckham's return to Old Trafford, the topic of those two men is completely under-the-radar.

During this day's training, Fang Jue has been paying attention to Beckham.

Thirty-four-year-old David. David Beckham was calm and did not seem to be affected by the upcoming game and the media hype.

At the beginning, Fang Jue also felt that everything was normal.

However, he soon realised that something was not quite right, and that Beckham was acting too calmly.

It's a bit unsmiling.

This is not normal.

……

After the morning's training, Fang Jue found Beckham, "David, let's talk?" ”

Beckham nodded in agreement, he wasn't too surprised that Fang Jue came to him.

"I told reporters that it was just a normal game." Fang Jue said, he looked at Beckham.

"Coach, I see what you mean." Beckham said, "I'll take care of my emotions. ”

The two of them walked and talked.

"Do you still hate that old man?" Fang Jue asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"I, I don't know." Beckham looked up to the sidelines and saw a fan holding a Beckham No.7 shirt for Manchester United, his eyes instantly focused, and then quickly shifted.

Fang Jue patted Beckham on the shoulder, turned around and walked away, this matter is only adjusted by himself, and no one can help outsiders.

Beckham covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face.

He thought he could face it calmly, but when this day really came, he was a little irritable, and even a little scared, he found that he was really not prepared......
