Regardless of whether Xu Yifei was listening, Danny. As if talking to himself, Smith continued to immerse himself in his memories: "People say Leeds is dirty, but we still love Leeds at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It's a pity that the media and advertising industry were extremely underdeveloped back then, and civilians like us couldn't get posters ......"

Obviously feeling a trace of sadness from the other party, Xu Yifei wanted to speak and stopped, unwilling to interrupt his thoughts.

"Actually, they're afraid of Liz!" Smith suddenly put down his coffee and raised his voice, "Calling us dirty is just an excuse for their timidity!" Why can't they fight with us, why don't they fight with us? Are those players inherently nobler than us? No, no, no! They are simply timid and afraid of death! ”

Xu Yifei saw that the other party was getting more and more excited, and some of his views were indeed a little disagreeable, so he couldn't help but interject: "Friendship first, competition second, I guess there is nothing wrong with this sentence, right?" ”

"Friendship?" Smith stared at Xu Yifei for a long time, as if he suddenly didn't know the other party, and retorted categorically: "No! There is no friendship on the football field except fighting! Players must fight like warriors on the battlefield! What Leeds lacks now is this fighting spirit! ”

After a roar, venting some of the emotions in his heart, Smith seemed to remember something and calmed down a little: "But, Xu, I'm not targeting you, you're different from those guys who only know money, money, money!" Originally, I was already extremely disappointed in Leeds, bad owners, unreliable coaches, a bunch of unmotivated players, what else should we support such a team? But today I saw how you performed, especially the two wounds that hurt your opponent, it was amazing! ”

Xu Yifei was terrified when he heard it, he never imagined that this die-hard old Leeds fan would make such an evaluation of him. He was about to open his mouth to explain something, but Smith reached out and stopped him.

"Don't look at me with the eyes of a youkai. Rest assured, I am not a Nazi and I do not believe in fascism. But I know that football is never a show, it's a fight, and you have to be clear about what we, the fans, really think. ”

Xu Yifei said in his heart: "It seems that the old policeman has been holding these words in his heart for a long time, so let him say enough." I just listened patiently, after all, this is a top fan with a loyalty of 99. ”

Opening the conversation, Smith began to talk eloquently: "We have no choice as fans, there is only such a professional club in the whole Leeds city, who do we not support it?" Do we have to travel all the way to Anfield in Liverpool or Elihad in Manchester every week?

No, no, no, we were born and raised in Leeds, so we can't eat inside and out!

We love football, we can't be professional players, we put our love for football on you, watching the game on the stadium or in front of the TV and mobile phone, we feel like we are in the field! You scored goals on the pitch and won games, and we feel the same way. Of course, when you lose a goal or a game, we suffer the same psychological blow, sometimes more so than you!

I've been playing football since I was 6 years old, and football has given me a strong body, a character that is not afraid of difficulties, and infinite joy. But I couldn't become a professional footballer until I became a police officer at the age of 22, and I finally gave up trying to become a professional footballer completely.

In the years that followed, I worked hard, got married, and had children, but I always felt that something was missing, and everyone said that I smiled less. Until I was 30 years old, my child was 6 years old, and one day he yelled for me to take him to play football.

That day, I found a soccer ball from a corner of my house that had been idle for years. After the inflation, I took my son to a nearby green area and played football with him.

At that moment, I suddenly had the illusion of going back in time, as if I had returned to my childhood. Suddenly, I felt a shiver all over my body, as if an electric current was flowing through me, making my various sensations suddenly clear several times.

For the first time in a few years, I had the patience to look closely at the sky, the greenery, the trees, and the girls in the distance. The feeling of that day was so clear that I will never forget it for the rest of my life!

I feel so happy with football, it's a joy that comes naturally from the deepest part of my heart. I found myself able to leave all my worries behind and forget all my unhappiness. It seemed that the air that day was fresher than ever, which made people feel refreshed.

Of course, the child had a good time, and he didn't want to go home until it got dark.

After that day, I worked hard for my livelihood, forced to laugh and please my boss, carefully did every trivial thing, and received a negligible salary. However, happiness is far away from me, and I am busy every day but live like a zombie, without a trace of life in my life.

It wasn't until another weekend, when I took my kids to Elland Road to watch the game, that I felt another good feeling that God had given me.

I don't remember why I bought a ticket to watch the game that day, maybe my boss gave me a raise, maybe it was a reward for my child's good grades, maybe it was something else, but that's not the point.

Watching a game at Elland Road for the first time made me feel like I was in heaven. The huge stadium is awe-inspiring, the fans singing and dancing like a holiday before the game, and the 10,000 people singing the Leeds anthem in unison is more powerful than any concert.

In that game, we won in Leeds. I can't remember how I got home that day, except that my son and I had a great time seeing some of the best things in Leeds that we had never experienced before.

The following week, the game not only became the focus of conversation for the whole family, but it also caused me to suddenly have a lot in common with my colleagues in the police station. My views are superficial, but it doesn't stop me from laughing or getting angry with others. Since then, I have realized the greatness of human beings. Because no other animal can talk about football with me.

However, in the next game, Leeds suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to bitter rivals Manchester United.

Can you understand how we felt? ”

Speaking of this, the old policeman suddenly stopped and asked Xu Yifei, while taking a sip of coffee to moisten his throat.

"It must be uncomfortable." Xu Yifei replied briefly, trying not to interrupt Smith's train of thought.

After pouring a few large sips of coffee in a row, Smith suddenly stood up: "It's not uncomfortable, it's suffocating!" At first, my son and I thought it was just an ordinary loss, and even if we were a little unhappy, we were afraid that it would get better the next day. But the next morning, it turned out that the situation was far from ......"
