Chapter 1099、For the remembrance of forgetting

With all the big five leagues in Europe over and the rest of the league settled, after a few days of silence, the final game of the season that everyone was looking forward to is about to begin.

This season's Champions League final was held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, and Juventus and Real Madrid arrived in Munich, Germany, early to adapt to the weather and environment.

The final was on the evening of May 29, and after the last training session that morning, he walked out of the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, and saw a small temporary monument standing outside the court.

The black-and-white monument has a line written on it.

"You'll never walk alone."

The Juventus general stopped and stood in front of the monument in silence.

The breeze blows, and the memories drift to today, 27 years ago.

On May 29, 1985, exactly 27 years after today, it was also a Champions League final - Juventus against Liverpool.

At the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, an accident happened. Before the game, there was a massive clash between Italian and English fans, which ended up causing a huge tragedy.

Because the Heysel Stadium is in disrepair and the facilities are very old, it has a great safety hazard. Before the game, Juventus and Liverpool both proposed to UEFA to change stadiums, such as going to top stadiums such as the Bernabeu, but UEFA did not take the advice.

Before the game, UEFA split the tickets into three parts, one each for Liverpool fans, Juventus fans and neutral fans. But because Heisel was a gathering place for Italians, most of the neutral tickets were bought by the Italians, and when the Liverpool fans entered, they found that the Italian fans were twice as large as they were.

This immediately caused the anger of the Liverpudlians, and football hooligans in the Liverpool area began to cause trouble, even arson and throwing heavy objects. Because the stands were in disrepair and could not bear to toss, they eventually caused the Juventus fans to collapse, crushing 39 Juventus fans to death on the spot and injuring more than 300 others.

In the end, Liverpool lost the game and suffered a heavy penalty after the game. All English teams have been banned for five years in European football, while Liverpool have been banned for seven years! Because of this incident, Liverpool, which has always been strong, has been greatly damaged since then, and has not been able to return to peak form for many years.

This is the famous "Heysel tragedy" in the history of international football.

Early this morning, the Liverpool official website held a few years of action. Not only did they lay wreaths at the Heysel Monument as a tribute, but they also listed the names of 39 fans on their official website with the phrase "You'll never go it alone."

And today outside the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, the Bayern club also kindly built a small temporary monument to pray for the victims of the past.

Next to the monument, Yun Sheng met one of his old friends, Sauer.

Sauer is now a member of Bayern's management and the commemoration was proposed by him.

"Melmut, long time no see."

"Yunsheng, long time no see."

Looking at Sauer's clear eyes, Yun Sheng said sincerely: "Man, today's monument and commemoration, well, thank you, thank you FC Bayern." ”

Sauer's expression was very serious: "Peaceful football, friendly football, this is what we all look forward to, and I propose a commemorative event to spread the true spirit of football to the ears and eyes of every fan." Football is a war in peacetime, but it is confined to the football field, and after 90 minutes of play, we should always be friendly. Sending a message of peace and friendliness, that's the essence of football, isn't it? ”

Yun Sheng nodded vigorously and hugged Shaoer affectionately.

"Melmut, you taught me a lesson and a mentor during my college years, and I was taught this lesson today."

Hearing this, Shaoer put away his serious expression and a smile appeared on his face: "Yunsheng, don't say that. You're my coach at Cartbus, and we're both mentors and friends, and we've long since equalized. Besides, you're the hottest young manager in the world right now, and there's so much I need to learn from you. ”

"Melmut, when the game is over, let's have a drink and talk about the years we have experienced."

"Okay, then I wish you all the best in the Champions League final. Whatever trouble you have in Munich, feel free to call me. ”

"Thanks buddy, we'll see you after the game."

The whole Juventus team returned to the hotel to rest, and the whole Real Madrid team also came to the stadium for the final training session.

After training, Mourinho led the Real Madrid team to lay flowers in front of the Heysel tragedy memorial.

Regarding that tragedy, Real Madrid is different from Juventus, after all, it did not happen to their own team. They are more sympathetic than empathetic pain.

However, when the whole team returned to the bus, Ronaldo was still in a daze in front of the monument.

Mourinho poked Marcelo: "It's sad to see his expression, maybe there's something on his mind." You have the best relationship with him, go and see him. ”

Marcelo nodded, let the bus stop for a while, and came to Ronaldo's side.

"Dude, you look sad? Do you have any special feelings for Juventus? Or does this monument remind you of something? ”

Ronaldo's expression was very sad, he did not look back, and said in a low voice: "When I saw this monument, I suddenly remembered the Munich air disaster 54 years ago. ”

"Oh, that's it......" Marcelo immediately understood the reason for Ronaldo's grief.

On 6 February 1958, a plane carrying Manchester United players, fans, journalists and staff crashed at Munich Airport, killing 23 people.

Cristiano Ronaldo said slowly: "Every year on February 6, there is a memorial service at Old Trafford, and under the memorial stands in the stadium to commemorate the Munich air disaster, there are also countless fans who enter to lay flowers. When I saw this monument today, I suddenly remembered the Munich air crash in the past. Every time I come to this city, I feel a special sadness in my heart. ”

Marcelo patted Ronaldo's shoulder: "You, although you are wearing the white jersey of Real Madrid, your heart will always burn with red blood." ”

'I hate Liverpudlians, not just because they were bitter enemies of Manchester United, but also because of what the guy named Shanks said.

Ronaldo looked at the sky and whispered.

"Football is not about life and death, football is higher than life and death. That's bullshit! For Manchester United, I'd rather give up that away game at the age of 54 than have a Munich air disaster! And Juventus fans will definitely choose between 39 lives and the Champions League winner! ”

"I love football, more than anyone else! But I respect life equally! Football can never be higher than life and death, never! ”
