September 13, 1998, early in the morning, major cities in the United Kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The warm sun was already shining over the birthplace of modern football, and the long queues of cars on the city's main roads and lanes formed a symphony of horns, yelling and sirens from police cars, telling the British that a new day had begun.

Traffic jams are something that everyone living in a big city must get used to, and people who have long been accustomed to how to pass this boring time will put a few morning newspapers in the car to pass the time.

"In the Old Trafford stadium, with short dark black hair, a strong body, fast speed, and a handsome appearance, 17-year-old Andy Brown. Chen, who controlled the football and charged towards the Coventry City goal like a sturdy cheetah, was followed by Darren Harkerby, who was tackled by him, George Boateng who was knocked down by him, Gary McAllister who was shaken by his stop-and-go and their hapless last defender and goalkeeper, and many fans in Coventry shirts stood up and stared at the scene. ”

It's a huge photograph of a reporter from the sidelines who recorded the moment forever next to the goal.

Photographs taken from different angles from different newspapers and reporters took up most of the sports pages of today's major newspapers, and Andy once again caught the attention of all Britons, all those who like football, for the new stars who have already made a name for themselves in the UK in the early days.

"England's once-in-a-century football talent"

"Four goals in two league games, two goals per game"

England's 100-Year Football Talent

"Remember the name from today"

"A New Generation of Quality Idols"

Scoring on the second bench, averaging two goals per game on the second time, a strong one-stop trick on the opponent from the front to the goalkeeper, the hand raised high in front of the goal and the gesture representing 2, this is how Manchester United's No.44, a former American high school football star, performed in the Premier League.

All sorts of meaty titles have been added to Andy's name by the English media, big and small.

Overnight, Andy, who was originally just seen as a good newcomer, became the brightest new star in the Premier League, a name that quickly became familiar to all the managers of the Premier League teams, and their offices had everything about him.

Manchester is the second city in the United Kingdom, and Manchester United is the Premier League's leading club, so what happens in this team will not go unnoticed by the fans who love them.

There are news reports about Andy in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet.

Manchester's sports media went out of their way to report all the stats of the games Andy played.

Manchester's "Sports Stars" devotes an entire page to Andy's performances in each game, detailing the ups and downs of the four games in which Andy has played.

Manchester, the Old Trafford club's souvenir shop, is bustling with people.

"Number 44, give me a number 44, I want a medium one!" A fan brandished pounds and couldn't wait to yell at the counter.

"Son, take this one off and put this one on!" A father happily took the newly bought No. 44 shirt and immediately took off the No. 10 shirt that his son was wearing with the name of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and replaced it with Andy's.

There was a long queue outside the door, and everyone came to buy jerseys, and Andy's jersey at No. 44 had many new fans with obvious Chinese ancestry.

Old Edward looked at the newspapers and smiled merrily.

It's a good feeling to have grandchildren around.

Of course, the better reason is because of Andy's success. …,

He didn't expect Andy's success to come so quickly, he originally thought that even with Andy's talent and hard work, it would take at least half a year to get familiar with it after three years out of football.

But the development of things really surprised him, and it can be said that it gave him a great surprise.

At the Carrington training base in Manchester, when Andy arrived in the driver's car as usual, hundreds of fans at the gate of the training base had been waiting for a long time, wearing the No. 44 jersey they had just bought, holding a huge photo of Andy, and cheering loudly.

"Andy, you're the best!"

"Andy, you're the pride of Manchester!"

"Andy, please go on a date with me!"

Andy was sitting in the car and was very emotional, he had fantasized about it as a teenager, and despite his good pre-season performances, the fans had never come to welcome him in front of the base.

"Maybe I didn't get the approval of these lovely fans at the time, who saw me as just a rugby star, and this is the country of football."

When the car was blocked by fans, Andy came back to his senses from his trance,

Andy motioned for the driver to stop the car, and he stepped out of the car, and now he wants to say thank you to the fans who supported him.

Seeing Andy get out of the car, the fans who came to the gate of the base early cheered and surrounded him.

"Thank you all for coming to me so early to support and encourage, you are my motivation to move forward, thank you!!"

Although Andy has never had a good face with the media, because he knows that it is a relationship where everyone takes advantage of each other, and the fans who always support him without desire are fundamental, so he said affectionately.

"Andy, sign us, can you?" A shy young girl was the first to run over and pluck up her courage to speak.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll sign it all for everyone." Andy, who has always been an hour ahead of his teammates, readily agreed.

After sending the driver away, Andy stood in front of the door to meet the demands of each fan, using Chinese and English to sign the posters, books, photos, faces, bodies, and even on the underwear and breasts of some bold female fans.

After all, the gold content of the two pre-season games is not high, but when the two Premier League games were scored in a row with the big teams, Andy staged a realistic version of the goal to become famous.

When the newspaper sales this morning had increased dramatically, and when people wanted to know more about this young man, all the media were even more excited, and they flocked to Manchester like a tidal wave, and they were going to dig out what kind of underwear Andy was wearing today, and these media never knew what it meant to be festive for the sake of sales and bonuses.

There were four or five times more reporters waiting at the door of Carrington's training base than usual, with guns and cannons waiting for the end of the training session, and some of them were already contacting the club's press officer.

You have to ask why they can't get in, do you think Alex Ferguson, a strong old man, will let them in?

Alex Ferguson, an old Scottish man with a flushed face, is also a headache now, just now the club's senior management has called him, asking him to cooperate with Andy for an exclusive interview, but for the purpose of protecting young players, he really doesn't want to agree, but unfortunately his arm still can't twist his thigh.

Andy is still on the training ground with his team-mates every afternoon of tactical drills, and he knows that at this stage, he can only sit firmly in his position if he is in better shape in training, not a flash in the pan. …,

That's what his ambitions are at the moment, not very high but practical.

"Andy, you wait and come with me to the press conference hall for an interview."

When the afternoon training was over, Alex Ferguson could only call out to Andy, who was about to go to the dressing room.

The press conference hall has already been set up, and the backdrop with the logos of the major sponsors has been set up, and it seems that the club has already planned to hold this press conference.

Hundreds of reporters from various media outlets were already in order, and they were seated in rows, while the table opposite them was full of microphones, and behind them were reporters who were facing the camera.

Andy was still dressed casually, wearing a baseball cap, showing his youthful youth and uninhibitedness, walking behind press officer Demis Catherine and coach Alex Ferguson.

Walking to the front and back of the stage, the reporter who has been waiting for a long time is like a shark that smells blood, and the flash lights in the audience flash, this scene is like a scene when a superstar signs a contract, which can be regarded as a signing press conference for Andy.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, after these games, will Andy immediately become the team's starting striker?" A reporter stood up and asked.

Ferguson didn't want the club to arrange an interview with Andy, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and looked at Andy: "Everyone has seen Andy's performance, his strength is undoubted, but whether he can become it depends on the state he shows in training." ”

"So Andy will be the main force?" The reporter was unrelenting, and it was clear that Ferguson's ambiguous answer was not satisfactory to them.

Ferguson didn't speak with a cold face, just motioned to the next one.

After Ferguson answered several questions in a row, the reporter threw the question to Andy, who had been watching the show on the sidelines.

"Andy, as far as we know, you have dual citizenship, if Mr Hoddle invited you to the national team, would you choose to play for England?"

This question appealed to all journalists, including Alex Ferguson, and everyone wanted to see how Andy answered.

To be honest, Andy himself hadn't thought of the choice on the subject, so he paused for a moment, but after a moment he thought of the old Edward's expression after watching England's defeat at the World Cup.

'I think as long as England need me and Mr Hoddle needs me, I'll join, because I'm playing football now, right?'

Andy's beautiful answer drew a round of applause from all the reporters on the pitch, Manchester United have already produced Ryan Giggs, and they don't want to choose another national team in the coming Andy.

"Andy, what type of girl do you like?"

"Andy, what are your hobbies?"

"Andy, what's your favorite food?"

"Andy, how do you handle the relationship between your girlfriends?"

The reporters' questions began to deviate more and more from football, they were generally more interested in Andy's life off the pitch, which lasted for more than an hour, for these questions Andy wanted to answer, and if he didn't want to answer, he followed Ferguson's example and signaled the next, the press conference ended in a commotion, and the reporters looked at their interview records with satisfaction, thinking that they would definitely be praised by the editor-in-chief after they returned.

Andy wasn't really interested in interviews with these reporters, he wouldn't have wanted to come if he hadn't become a professional player and had to cooperate with the club, but he also knew that this was what he had to go through to become famous, so when the press conference was over, he felt more tired than playing a game.
