Chapter 1: The Meeting of Fate

On the evening of July 18, 2003, Manchester, light rain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the world's first industrialized city and the second most prosperous city in England, Manchester can be said to be the quintessential example of England's climate, cold and humid.

However, the soul of the city is quite the opposite, it is hot and bloody.

Because of football.

Because of two football clubs with completely opposite historical status, heritage, and reputation.

Manchester United, the world's giants representing the middle class and the wealthy class, and the Blue Moon Manchester City team, representing the working and poor class, were injected with the fate of old enemies in their bones at the beginning of their establishment and began an endless confrontation.

The people who have lived here for a long time are naturally divided into two opposing camps that cannot be fused. Confrontation and hostility to each other have become an indispensable part of their daily lives.

Therefore, you can rarely see quiet, calm, and peaceful here, and passion, mockery, and confrontation are the themes here. Of course, because of the team's results, Manchester United fans are often the winners. This is especially evident after Manchester United successfully beat rivals Arsenal to win another Premier League title in the club's history in the past 02-03 season.

However, in the past month, the situation has suddenly changed dramatically.

David Beckham, Manchester United's No. 7 with England, the darling of England, the hero of the Manchester United dynasty, and a member of the famous class of 92 in Carrington's youth system, left to join the La Liga White Giant Real Madrid for 35 million euros, and has since parted ways with Old Trafford.

For this midfielder, who is often questioned about "playing with his face" and has a picture that makes female fans crazy, no matter what the outside world thinks of him, there is no doubt that he is the darling of the Theater of Dreams, a heartthrob.

Although after the flying shoe gate incident that caused a sensation in England in February 03, and even after European and world football, speculation that Beckham would leave the club in the summer transfer window has long been closed.

But, in times like these, the fans are always innocent. They always look forward to the fact that the player can miraculously stay. After the official announcement was made on Manchester United's official website on June 17, this dream was like a bright bubble in the sun, brutally shattered.

Just when the media hyped the "father and son" relationship between Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, and David Beckham was exhausted, Manchester United fans were undoubtedly the most painful. Of course, they are reluctant to leave the heartthrob who has grown into the present day under their gaze and voice, but what can they say to the venerable old man who is the true king of Manchester United, the legendary godfather of the Red Devils' dynasty founder.

In the gushing, gloating provocation and mocking laughter of Manchester City fans around him, the biting cool breeze, icy drizzle, and gloomy sky in Manchester at this time are the best portrayal of the mood of Manchester United fans, and the conflict is out of control.

For a time, the Manchester Police Department became a busy department for the entire city. According to media reports, quite a number of Manchester police officers have publicly demanded an increase in overtime pay.

"Woo Woo Woo Woo ............."

"Damn football maniacs." Looking at the busy police car speeding by, Li Lei tightened his neckline and whispered hatefully.

Li Lei didn't like football, or rather, he didn't have the slightest interest in anything other than that he could feed himself and his sister and dress well.

As a third-generation immigrant whose parents died young, at the age of 19, he became the sole breadwinner of this poor family at an early age, and protecting his sister, who was three years younger, and making it his only goal in life to successfully complete college.

But this is not easy to say, this is not an easy thing for any adult, let alone a teenager who is still regarded by the public as a "child". Coupled with his yellow complexion that is extremely discriminatory, in order to survive and his sister, he becomes "bad" and becomes fearful, and enters some black illegal areas, which is almost inevitable.

In particular, he and his sister live in the worst security areas of Manchester.

Fortunately, his parents gave him a naturally heroic and burly body, as well as a rough and cold face full of tough guy charm. The big man of 190 is not a tiger's back, but it is enough to scare off the vast majority of people who are not right-minded. Thanks to this, he survived the most fortunate period after his parents died in a car accident.

Then, considering his youthful age, in order to increase his deterrent, he also deliberately dyed his colorful hair.

After he became famous in the entire slum because of his resolute and fierce style that did not meet his age, he got a loud bandit because of his conspicuous and rare appearance characteristics, the colorful poisonous insects, referred to as "flower big insects".

However, at the moment, this big flower worm who can deter many Manchester gangsters is worrying about the living expenses of himself and his sister in the next few months, as well as the tuition fees of his sister for the new semester.

Due to the frequent clashes between Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans in the past month, the entire Manchester Police Department is like crazy to arrest people picking quarrels and provoking troubles throughout Manchester, which has dealt a devastating blow to Li Lei's income in recent times.

In order to ensure the safety of his sister, although Li Lei's work is not legal, he will never get too close to the darkness. Poisons, ****, etc., he will never touch them. At best, it is a petty thief, occasionally acting as a "mercenary" and being a thug.

The actions of the Manchester Police Department during this period may not have much impact on those real underground dark transactions, but the impact on Li Lei's professional scope is earth-shattering. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Lei has not received any money in his wallet for more than half a month.

Seeing that tonight, there will be no gains, and it is strange that he can be in a good mood. At this time, the disgust in his heart for the so-called black-black-and-white football that he didn't know definitely broke through the sky and reached the peak.

Stroking two handfuls of colorful hair on the top of his head, Li Lei walked in the direction of home with a stinky face and a low curse in his mouth under the frightened gaze of the pedestrians around him

"How! How does it feel like you damn red-nosed old man to drive away your dear disciple?! Yes! Hahaha, if you don't hand over a little money for my drink today, don't think about leaving here safely! Hahaha...."

While passing through a dark alley, a sudden burst of arrogant laughter caught Li Lei's attention. He stopped and turned his head to look, although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see that it was three strong men surrounding an old man with a slightly bloated body and white hair.

"Damn, that's trouble!" He suddenly remembered that his parents had taught him more than once - respect for the elderly.

"You damned bastards, don't try to take a penny out of my pocket! How dare you do to me! You damn football hooligans! Soft eggs!! Not a man's sissy! ......." Ferguson growled in an old, but breathless voice.

His cheeks flushed, his gaze was cold, and his whole body was furious, and his trademark red rosacea was still there. There is no doubt that the world-famous hair dryer is blowing again, even though the time and place have nothing to do with football.

However, his usual tough and aggressive style has not changed at all, although he is already an old man over the age of six, and he is facing three big men with big shoulders and round waists, wearing Manchester City jerseys, and full of alcohol.

However, given the situation he was in at this time, it was clearly not a wise decision. But who made him have a big fight with his wife Cathy not long ago, and drank a lot of whiskey, who was already in a bad mood recently. In such a situation, it is strange that he, who has always been hot-tempered, can be rational at this time.

"You damn old man! Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. This isn't the damn Old Trafford! The bald-haired bearded man in the lead was obviously provoked by Ferguson's words, clenched his huge fists, and pressed towards Ferguson viciously.

If it was usual, maybe he would not dare to do anything to Ferguson if he gave him three more dares. Ferguson had a way to make him unable to eat and walk around, but who made him a man who was also too drunk, and the smell of alcohol was up.

"Humph!" Ferguson snorted coldly without showing weakness.

Although he was still tough on the surface, he was already chuckling in his heart. No matter how high his social status and prestige he is, at this time he is just an old man in the face of three strong men, and he is no longer in his 30s.

The bad situation has made his wine sober up a lot. He couldn't help but secretly regret why he didn't just take a taxi home after drinking. In that case, you will run into these three Manchester City fans who are obviously not easy to get along with, and you will end up in a situation that is already dangerous to your personal safety.

Or seeing the retreat behind Ferguson's toughness, the corners of the bald and bearded man's mouth couldn't help but pull out a smug and cruel smile. At this time, he was already in a stage of complete complacency, and he just wanted to teach this proud old man who had brought countless pain to himself and many Manchester City fans, and breathe a sigh of relief for the depression and unhappiness of his heart for many years because of the team's unsatisfactory results.

Just as he raised his fist to smash it into Ferguson's face, there was a sudden burst of young, stout, and somewhat hoarse words in his ears.

"Stop! Get out of here!! ”

Ferguson, who was already desperate, followed the direction from which the voice came, turned his head in surprise and surprise, and saw a "strange" young man with a colorful head on his head.

Dressed in some old army green dress, with an unruly cold face, and strange hair, in the eyes of the rather stubborn and rigid Ferguson, this burly Asian young man can definitely be regarded as a typical delinquent teenager.

He saw coldness, rebellion, and unruliness in the eyes of the young man.

This teenager seems to be synonymous with rebellion!

No need for any other definition!!

The rest are superfluous!!

This is the first meeting between the big worm and the legendary old Scottish man.

This is also the beginning of the legend of a generation of mad door gods.
