Chapter 123: Declaration of Loyalty
Lawrence, who is the live commentator for Tottenham, has an 80-year-old father who is now battling him.
Lawrence Sr. is a die-hard Tottenham Hotspur fan, and his greatest wish is to send his son to play in his beloved team, but Lawrence obviously failed his father's wishes, and at the age of 15, he weighed nearly 180 pounds, and he was a veritable fat man.
Due to physical reasons, Lawrence did not become a Tottenham player, but became a live commentator with his good eloquence.
And now he is relying on his incorruptible tongue to prevent a tragedy from happening.
In front of Lawrence stood a total of eight old men and old ladies, all wearing Tottenham shirts, glaring at Lawrence.
"Fat pig! Are you going to buy us a ticket or not! Old Lawrence glared angrily and yelled at his son.
Lawrence looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and waved his hand and said, "Don't buy it!" β
Just kidding, what if you let these obviously too old men and old ladies go to the stand, what if something goes wrong?
Lawrence was also heartbroken.
Old Lawrence glared and said, "We are Tottenham diehards!" We have to witness a historic moment for Tottenham. β
Lawrence pouted: "When you won the league last season, you didn't go. β
"At that time, labor and management were hospitalized!" Old Lawrence poked his crutches angrily and said: "This game, we have to watch, if you don't buy us tickets, we will go to Levi, to the club." β
Lawrence immediately grinned, if old Lawrence came forward, he would really be able to get a ticket.
Lawrence said helplessly; 'Tottenham have no shortage of die-hard loyalists and you should give those opportunities to the youngsters.'
"Diehards?" Old Lawrence sneered, "They know what diehards are? Do they also deserve to be called diehards? I'll tell you, what is diehard. β
"I believe in the team and tattoo the team crest on my chest like this." Lawrence Sr. lifted his clothes, and under his crumpled skin, he had the Tottenham crest tattooed on his chest.
"Diehards can shout all over the field, and they can be the enemy of any team that is not the home team!"
"Whether it's on the street, in a bar, or on the pitch, we are always wanton and flamboyant, and we will sing our team song without hesitation, even in the face of the most enthusiastic boos."
"Remember! Die-hard loyalists are not only synonymous with prowes, but also a solitary follower when the team travels away from home, and we regard reputation above all else, and we are not afraid of any opponent, just like the eight of us who fought at Old Trafford against 40 United fans who denigrated Tottenham! β
Lawrence was dumbfounded by the old father's fierce history, which he had never heard of.
Old Lawrence said with a look of disdain: "They also deserve to be called diehards?" When they can risk their lives to protect the home team's reputation, they will be qualified to mention 'diehards' to me. β
"So, now! Immediately! Right away! Buy us tickets! β
"I want those 'audiences' in White Hart Lane to know what it means to be a real diehard!"
"Die-hard loyalty is synonymous with fanaticism and extremism, isn't Yi leaving? To leave is to be a traitor. β
The old guy shouted loudly.
Lawrence glanced at it and said; "I have Yi's signed jersey here, do you want it?"
The eight old men said in unison: "Yes!" β
Lawrence; β.......β
......
Approaching the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, it is a real battle of life and death.
For Barcelona, they have nothing but to gamble.
Defeat or even a draw is unacceptable!
To get the win, they're going to score two goals at White Hart Lane!
According to the Catalan Press: "This game is crucial for us, in the last round Tottenham proved to be strong and we paid the price for it, hopefully Enrique will find a way to contain the Tottenham midfield and at the same time make another comeback for us, we are waiting for good news from you." β
"England National Sport" elaborated: "Tottenham are a tough team, it is difficult to reverse them, especially in White Hart Lane, after nearly two years of good results, White Hart Lane has become a nightmare for countless teams, where there are the most fanatical fans in Europe, and the Barcelona people are too naΓ―ve to want to reverse them!" β
The media of the two places can be described as needle-to-needle, and the game has not yet begun, and the momentum competition between the two sides has begun.
Both sides are supporting their own teams, for England, they are in a state of semi-abandonment for Arsenal, after all, it is the Bernabeu, without Tottenham's magical performance, it is too difficult for Arsenal to qualify, and Real Madrid also has Cristiano Ronaldo in charge, this key gentleman always shows god-like dominance in the deciding game.
Barcelona's form has been up and down in recent times, with them putting on a shocking comeback and being kicked to the bottom by Tottenham.
As things stand, it's really hard for Barcelona to turn the tables around.
......
Recently, there has been a special group of fans around the White Hart Lane stadium.
It is a group of elderly people, whose average age has reached 75 years old, according to the statistics of BBC reporters.
These gray-haired old men swaggered through the streets of London in high spirits, carrying the banner of 'die-hard', and many of them were still in poor health.
When a BBC reporter asked an elderly man with Alzheimer's (Alzheimer's) about a past game.
This old man, who can't even recognize his son next to him, can tell the names of Tottenham's past honors like a number of treasures, and even the names of the 11 Tottenham players in every final.
At this time, the BBC reporter was a little moved, he knew that the old man had engraved these names and these games in his heart, not in his memory.
As he answered the question, the old man's eyes lit up, and as he recalled, the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile.
Those cloudy eyes seem to have passed through the shackles of time, looking back at the past eventful years, as if he was still a young man, and Tottenham Hotspur was still a dominant team in League One.
Finally, the old man said; "I know I'm in terrible health, and I know I'm going to cause my children a lot of trouble, but... Before I leave this world, I want to use my own eyes to confirm the fact that my beloved team is still brilliant! β
After speaking, the old man bowed his head and kissed the team emblem affectionately.
"It's probably the last game I'll ever watch in my life and I want to stay in the stands and finish the final battle with our team! I've spent my whole life with her, and now that I'm leaving, I want to say goodbye to her. β
The old man stubbornly broke free from his son's support, pulled a Tottenham flag from the side, his rickety spine slowly straightened, he straightened up with a slight tremble, unfolded the flag at once, waved the flag in his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly and solemnly towards the camera:
"We are the kings of White Hart Lane and the victory belongs to Tottenham Hotspur!! βββ
"Tottenham!! Banzai!!! βββ
The old people on the side also shouted one after another, and for a while, an old but strong voice resounded around.
This group of old people has spent their lives with the team they love!
They know that their time is running out, so for them, it is a 'battle of honor' and a 'battle of farewell'.
'I love you, but I'm about to embark on a new journey where there's no football, and there's no... White Hart Lane! β
