Chapter 227 1 Person, 1 City

It's a tacit understanding, see you at the World Youth Championship.

They said goodbye to Chen Tao the next day and left each other's contact information. This was the most innocent way of communication in their time.

A season is as long as the games at the end of the season. For Manchester United, there is nothing left to do in the league except the FA Cup final.

Waiting is so painful.

Especially watching Liverpool and Chelsea advance in the Champions League and fight in the semi-finals, the desire for the championship is written on the faces of every Manchester United person.

"This is a day towards victory. Whether you are a Chelsea or Liverpool fan, are you ready? Tonight, there will be a team heading towards the Champions League final..."

At six o'clock in the morning, BBC Radio began to broadcast the day's Champions League semi-final match between Liverpool and Chelsea. This second-leg match had already become the most watched match in England.

"Benitez's team is ready. Captain Gerrard has made a strong oath to lead Liverpool to defeat Chelsea at Anfield and enter the final. Mourinho's Blues are also bound to win. They and the fans will arrive in Liverpool at 5pm this afternoon."

What a blessing! Dong Fangzhuo suddenly envied Gerrard and Lampard...

rustle……

Dong Fangzhuo turned off the radio, stepped on the accelerator, and roared towards the Carrington base.

I didn’t have the ability to chase the Champions League in my previous life, but in this life I am salivating over the Champions League that is just around the corner...

As the sky dawned, Dong Fangzhuo's car lights shone on the gate of the Carrington Base. The gate slowly opened. He drove the car into the parking lot and put it away, then slowly ran to the training ground.

Not far away, a familiar figure stood on the sidelines.

team leader?

Dong Fangzhuo recognized him at a glance.

Apart from Roy Keane's majestic back, he couldn't think of anyone else whose back gave him a creepy feeling.

A few days ago, Keane was wearing a cast and using a cane, but today he was empty-handed and it seemed that he had stood up again.

Dong Fangzhuo was curious as to what he was doing here so early, but he didn't want to disturb him.

This legendary captain of Manchester United will be respected by other teammates no matter where he appears on the training ground. Although Keane favors him, Keane also has a very weird temper. Dong Fangzhuo does not want to ask for trouble...

He silently lowered his head and ran in circles, but his mind was always on Keen.

Could it be that you have nocturnal syndrome? Why are you here so early in the morning...

After he made a circle, Keane suddenly shouted from the sidelines. The voice was still loud and scary, like a warrior roaring for victory on the battlefield.

"Fake Squid, Dong, get over here quickly!"

ah?

You know the captain’s psychopathy! Dong Fangzhuo walked over quickly.

"Fake, why are you here so early? The league has no meaning anymore." Keane's expression was a little exaggerated and a little excited.

"Captain, we still have the FA Cup final!"

"Farke FA Cup!"

"Farke!"

"The FA Cup is at the end of May."

"But I still have to be prepared." Dong Fangzhuo replied firmly.

Hearing Dong Fangzhuo's answer, Keen stared at him quietly for several seconds, and finally stretched out his right hand and patted Dong Fangzhuo's left shoulder three times.

"You really belong to Manchester United. I didn't read you wrong. Just go and kick the Arsenal people's ass with the damn Manchester United and win the FA Cup. I wish you good luck, Chinese Director."

After saying that, he suddenly turned around, leaving only his back again, and then slowly walked out of the training ground.

I don't know why, but at that moment, Dong Fangzhuo felt that this turn and his back looked very old and lonely.

This was not the back of one person, but countless backs like Keane's. He seemed to see many future stars turning around like this.

in memory,

Like Maldini at San Siro in Milan, he is heroic and will never fall;

Like Inter Milan’s Zanetti,

Never get tired at Meazza;

Like Raul, the eternal King of the Ring at the Real Madrid Bernabeu, who is deeply loved;

Like the elegant Piero of Juventus Alps, who loves like a boy;

Like the Roman Olympic gladiator Totti, loyal until death;

Like Gerrard who never walks alone at Anfield in Liverpool...

They are all like a city.

One person, one city.

"team leader."

Dong Fangzhuo shouted, then took a few steps closer, but stopped behind him.

"What?"

"Will you stay at Manchester United next season?"

Keane stopped but did not turn around.

This question is too heavy. If you ask it seriously, the answer will also be heavy.

For a long time, neither of them said anything. Dong Fangzhuo was waiting for Keen's answer, and Keen was regaining his language.

"I……"

"have no idea."

Keen looked around and finally spoke out.

This is not the answer Dong Fangzhuo wants.

He just wants Keane to answer, I will stay, and I will still be the captain of Manchester United next season. This is the answer Dong Fangzhuo wants, just like a leader giving a solid promise to his soldiers.

But this time, Keane's answer was not what he expected. The leader will eventually grow old and have an uncertain future.

"If I were still here, I would come running with you so early every day."

"If I am no longer here, you must lead Manchester United to fight and win the Champions League for Manchester United again."

…

Keane took steps again, still walking slowly.

Dong Fangzhuo's eyes were moist.

Roy Keane will always be Manchester United's Keane. He only has one city in his heart.

“I promise!“

"I"m going to get the European ;Cup!"

"For you, For the sake of Manchester United!"

“Thank you, Dong. “

Keen waved his hand and disappeared into the morning light...

The wind rustled, a little bit sad.

※※※※

"Hey, Chinese Director, if you don't go for a run so early in the morning, why are you making such a fuss? Wuwu, today is the damn match between Chelsea and Liverpool, not Manchester United!" In the duty room at the door, the old man was half lying on the sofa, and he heard it in a daze. He heard Dong Fangzhuo's voice and murmured.

He has been the first to open the door for Dong Fangzhuo for a whole season.

"Haha...Dong, hurry up and raise the trophy, hey."

"Oh, I'm dreaming again. It seems that my mind is getting more and more confused."

woo woo woo woo--

The roaring sound of the engine suddenly rushed past his ears. The old man immediately jumped up, then pointed out the window and cursed.

"Fake!!"

"Fake Squid! Roy!"

"Don't you ever fucking come back!"

"Ah, damn it, it's been so many years and you're still a kid who hasn't grown up. SB!"

"Hey Roy, did you hear that?"

"Stop the hell!"

"Don't go..."

"well……"

How many years have passed in the blink of an eye?

Those high-spirited young people back then were leaving one by one...

This chapter made me cry when I wrote it. Although it was not well written, I was moved by it, especially when I listened to the music "follow your dream"... I have been watching these stars play football since I grew up. go. I sometimes think about how great it would be if I could write a book that could describe the stars of each club, regardless of club, but only about youth, glory and ideals. I will definitely write this book carefully and not let myself leave too many regrets. Come on, there will still be six updates today.
