For Liu Yun, today is an important day.

Today, he will officially sign with Manchester United.

The signing ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. This is mainly due to the fact that there will be a large number of Chinese fans watching the live broadcast of Falang Sports.

Before signing the contract, he had to go to Old Trafford to shoot a series of promotional photos.

His fiancée, Isabella, and daughter, Liu Xiaoyan, could not go with him. St. Anfe's school, where Liu Xiaoyan works, is about to have its final exams. Isabella was going to take her to Birmingham.

Liu Yun came to Old Trafford. Manchester United press officer Barton greeted him warmly.

Barton said to Liu Yun: "Liu, the official signing ceremony starts at 6 p.m. Our head coach Jose Mourinho and club president Woodward will be in attendance. Now you put on makeup and take some photos for publicity. ”

Liu Yun nodded.

Several makeup artists surrounded Liu Yun and put on makeup for Liu Yun.

Barton, the press officer, then handed Liu Yun a No. 46 Manchester United shirt. Printed on the back are the three letters "LIU"

Liu Yun picked up the jersey: "No. 46? ”

Barton, the press officer, nodded: "Yes." I just asked the manager in the morning. He told me your jersey number is 46. ”

In fact, No. 46 is just the number that Mourinho gave to Liu Yunding - isn't that Liu 46 years old? Then wear the number 46 shirt. Jersey numbers on football pitches often have special meanings. For example, No. 1 is generally the main goalkeeper, and No. 2-6 is generally the main defender。。。。。。

No. 46, which means that Liu Yun, who is about to join the team, is not valued by Mourinho.

Manchester United chairman Woodward has long assured Mourinho that the introduction of Liu Yun is for commercial purposes, and it is his business as a manager whether to use it or not.

Liu Yun held the No. 46 jersey in his hand, and there was no complaint in his heart. On the contrary, he was emotional. He joined the Bayi team at a young age and never had the luxury of wearing the shirt of the Red Devils and Manchester United for so many years.

Besides, he joined Manchester United at the age of 46 and his jersey number is 46, which is quite commemorative.

Liu Yun changed into the No. 46 jersey and went to the studio first.

Under the command of the photographer, Liu Yun made countless movements and took an unknown number of photos.

Then the photographer moved to the battlefield with a long gun and a short cannon. Liu Yun followed the photographer to the Old Trafford stadium.

Liu Yun entered the stadium and first looked around the stadium - this is the Theater of Dreams! The place I've seen on TV countless times.

Next to the stadium, a new Chevrolet car was parked.

Chevrolet is one of Manchester United's big sponsors. When the new recruits join the team, they have to take a series of photos next to the Chevrolet car. This is commercialized football.

Liu Yun stood next to the Chevrolet car and took a series of photos. After the shooting, the photographer called it a day.

Barton, the press officer, said to Liu Yun: "For the next arrangement, I will take you on a tour of Manchester United's Hall of Honour. ”

Liu Yun followed Barton to the honor room.

The most conspicuous position in the honor room is a large glass display case. In the display case is a piece of paper that records the various titles and times that United have won in all competitions.

At the top of the paper was a passage: "Manchester United have won 20 top-flight titles since their inception on 1 January 1878, including 13 Premier League titles. 12 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 3 UEFA Champions Cups, 1 Club World Cup, 1 Toyota Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Cup Winners' Cup。。。。。。 ”

In just a few words, the background of the Red Devil was vividly put on paper.

Liu Yun laughed at himself and thought that the teams in Huaguo that claimed to have a strong heritage were like babbling babies compared to the teams that really had a history of 100 years.

Looking into the honor exhibition room, there are many trophies in the entire exhibition room.

Walking inside, the first thing that catches your eye is the small statues of Manchester United's three saints, Bobby Charlton, George Best and Dennis Law. The statue is a miniature version of the bronze statue outside the stadium. Then there is a small statue of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Liu Yun was visiting the honor room, and Barton, the press officer, explained to him the origin of various things in the honor room.

"Look, this shirt is worn by Ryan Giggs. Ryan Giggs is the team's eternal No. 11, leader of the Class of '92. Barton said.

Liu Yun was curious, and there was a piece of paper under the jersey that read: "I remember the first time I saw him, he was only 13 years old. Running around the pitch like an English cocker spaniel chasing silver pieces of paper flying in the wind - Alex Ferguson. ”

Liu Yun asked, "What does this sentence mean?" ”

Barton replied: "Ryan Giggs has been playing under Sir Alex Ferguson since his debut. In recent years, Bale has been praised by the media as the world's No. 1 winger. A reporter said in front of Sir Alex Ferguson that Bale would be the best winger in the world for 30 years. Sir Alex Ferguson told him that Giggs was better than Bale at the age of 23. Then he said the above. ”

Giggs and Ferguson are called master and apprentice, like father and son, which is a well-known thing. Without the great Ferguson, there would be no great Manchester United No.11 Ryan Giggs.

"These three jerseys were worn by our three Manchester United saints, Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Dennis Law." The two continued walking, explaining as they walked as Barton walked.

Liu Yun suddenly saw a knife inside a glass cover. He wondered why there was a knife in the team's honor showroom.

Liu Yun asked Barton: "What is this knife?" ”

Barton explained: "In 1958, Manchester United suffered the Munich air disaster. In 1968, when the team regrouped to win the Champions League, manager Busby lifted the trophy eight times. Every time he lifted it, he shouted the name of a player who died in the Munich air crash. 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. This knife is the same knife that the players cut their fingers back then. ”

Further inside, there is a huge group photo.

In this picture, it is Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, the Neville brothers, Bart and Cook。。。。。。 It was a group photo of Manchester United's Class of 92. The Giggs, Skers, Beckham and others in the photo are all young people. Ferguson is also only middle-aged.

The players in Manchester United's class of 92 are now in their 40s and middle-aged. Ferguson is also a septuagenarian.

The idols of the Dream Theater are old. Liu Yun, a fan of the class of 92。。。。。。 It's old too.

As he left the Honour Room, Barton said to Liu Yun: "Liu, you know, all the players who have signed for Manchester United hope that one day their jerseys will be displayed in the team's Honour Room. I wish you well from the bottom of my heart and hopefully one day your number 46 shirt will be here as well. ”
