In the afternoon, Liu Yun, Isabella and Liu Xiaoyan came to the outside of Old Trafford.

Old Trafford, home of the Red Devils Manchester United. It carries the memories of too many people.

Old Trafford was founded in 1902 and has always been the home of Manchester United. During World War II, the Nazi Air Force bombed Manchester and Old Trafford was razed to the ground. After the war, the Manchesters rebuilt Old Trafford. In 1949, after a gap of almost a decade, United finally returned to the newly built Old Trafford.

Liu Yun stared at the stadium. Although he had never been here before, it carried the memories of his youth. When he was younger, how many nights did he watch the superstars of Manchester United's Class of 92 from the TV, giving the fans one great game after another at Old Trafford.

Old Trafford has another name, and that's the Theatre of Dreams!

How many superstars have come out of the Theater of Dreams? Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Ryan Giggs, Cantona, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo。。。。。。。 Numerous.

As the years change, Old Trafford stands quietly here, witnessing the changes of history and the passage of time.

Elizabeth pointed to the pitch in front of her and said to Liu Xiaoyan: "Oh, my dear little princess, look, this is Old Trafford, where your father will fight in the future." ”

Liu Xiaoyan put her arm around Elizabeth: "I know here." That guy Qu Bai's biggest dream now is to come back from Belgium in a few years and play here! ”

The trio circled around the Old Trafford stadium. On the east side of the stadium, they saw the Munich Air Crash Memorial.

February 6, 1958. The British European airline "Lord Boehly" failed to take off on the snowy runway at Munich Airport in West Germany for the third time and crashed. Twenty-three people on board were killed. Among those killed were eight key players of Manchester United. Duncan Edward, a player who was only 21 years old at the time and was known as England's rising star, was seriously injured and died after being hospitalized for many days.

Prior to the Munich crash, United had just eliminated Red Star Belgrade away from home to reach the semi-finals of the 1957/1958 Champions Cup. At that time, Manchester United was considered to be the strongest team in Europe.

After the Munich air disaster, Manchester United lost most of their key players. The surviving main force was also seriously injured and could not play again. Manchester United seem to be on the verge of collapse.

However, manager Busby returned to the United position after six months in a hospital bed. He vowed to recreate the glory of Manchester United and to console the dead of the Munich air crash with the title.

Manchester United's rebirth has come a long way, and in 1963, Manchester United won the FA Cup, announcing the return of the king. The rise of a new generation of Red Devils represented by Charlton, Dennis Law, and George Best. In 1968, exactly 10 years after the Munich air disaster, manager Busby finally led Manchester United back to the European Championships.

During the medal ceremony, head coach Busby lifted the Champions Cup eight times, each of which he shouted the name of a player who died in the Munich air disaster. Bobby Charlton and other players cut their fingers, dripping blood into the Champions Cup, and then dripping on the pitch to comfort the souls of those who have died. At that moment, Manchester United achieved a complete rebirth after the Munich air disaster.

This is the spirit of the Red Devils and Manchester United, who will not succumb to fate, even in the face of disaster.

It coincides with the monument on Coventry Bombing Square. The Munich Air Disaster Memorial is also engraved with the English poet William. Henry's poem "The Unconquerable".

"Through the night that covered me, I saw layers of darkness. Thank God for giving me, unconquerable souls. Even if I am held tightly by hell, I will not be afraid and will not give in. Hit hard by fate, my head was covered in blood, but my head was raised.

Beyond the world of anger and sorrow, there stands more than fearful shadows. Also, facing future threats. You will find that I have nothing to fear.

No matter how narrow the gate of fate is, no matter what punishment it endures. I am the master of my destiny. I am the commander of my soul! ”

Liu Yun is about to join such a team with an indomitable spiritual tradition.

Liu Yun's heart was full of emotion. Maybe he won't be able to play for a long time when he comes to Manchester United. Maybe he didn't get the approval of the fans and the manager for a long time – it's a bit like when he first came to Coventry. However, as long as you do your best, take every opportunity. One day, he will start on the turf at Old Trafford and win the applause of the fans!

The trio continued to walk forward and they saw statues of three Manchester United legends – Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Dennis Law. These three are known as the Three Saints of Manchester United. It was these three men who carried the banner of the team after the Munich air disaster, and ultimately helped Manchester United rise again.

There is also a statue in front of it, which belongs to the old man Alex Alex Ferguson, the head coach of Manchester United.

Ferguson spent 27 years at the helm of Manchester United and built a dynasty in the 90s, bringing 38 trophies to the club and being named Premier League Manager of the Season 11 times. A few years ago, he was named the best coach of the first decade of the 21st century by the IFFHS. He definitely deserves the honor of erecting a bronze statue.

Elizabeth pointed to the bronze statue of the old lord and said to Liu Xiaoyan: "Look, this is the person who helped your father a few days ago." ”

Liu Xiaoyan asked strangely: "Did you help my dad a lot?" Aren't all bronze statues for the dead? How can dead people help my dad? ”

Liu Yun said to his daughter: "No, he is a living legend. ”

Today is not an open day. Therefore, the stadium is not open for tourists. The three of them couldn't go inside the stadium to take a look.

On a bench outside the court, the three sat down to rest.

Isabella asked Liu Yun: "Honey, this stadium is a new starting point and a new world for you." ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes." At the age of forty-six, embarking on a new adventure is hard to describe. It's like the first day of school as a kid. I was afraid that my performance would upset the teacher. ”

Isabella said to Liu Yun: "I don't know much about football. But I believe in you. You are a man of extraordinary courage and perseverance. I'm sure you can succeed here! ”

The eccentric Liu Xiaoyan suddenly said: "I think so, when my father scores in this stadium, Aunt Isabella will marry my father!" Be my mom! ”

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyan had the final say on her face: "Okay, it's a happy decision!" ”
