lens began to slowly approach a piece of snow in the roar of the cold Munich wind, and gradually saw the extra bright red blood on the snow, broken and scattered objects, and the wreckage of aircraft parts... face.
The life of that group of prosperous and prosperous groups has disappeared forever before they fly. The average age is only 22 years old. They are loved by fans as "Busby Babes". They are a group of talented players with fighting spirit and dreams. They are the busy ones. Every weekend in the industrial city, people gather at Old Trafford to cheer for the heroes. The heroes left too suddenly, and the whole city fell into grief, because people could hardly imagine those familiar figures no longer galloping at Old Trafford, and people could not accept the green shade that had already been entrusted with jubilant dreams. It will be quiet and desolate.
This is the most tragic scene in the history of Manchester United and even human football-the "Munich Air Crash" on February 6, 1958. A passenger plane full of club officials, coaches, players, and accompanying reporters crashed during the third attempt to take off on the snow-covered runway of Munich Airport. It just eliminated the Red Stars in the away game and successfully qualified for the European Champions Cup semi-finals. Red Wings are about to spread their wings. Disappeared in the night sky... 23 passengers including 8 Manchester United players were killed.
BBC 2’s new film "United" takes this air crash that has caused countless Manchester United fans as an entry point. It mainly uses the surviving young player Bobby Charlton and the team’s assistant coach Jimmy Murphy as clues. They show the power of friendship and the spirit of faith that football as the greatest sport of mankind brings to people. They each have a representative line:
"How can I accept that the players running with me are no longer Duncan and Roger , How can I bear to see those jersey numbers no longer belong to them I am familiar with." The surviving Bobby Charlton said when it was difficult to return to the team because of the death of his teammates.
"This is not just a game, it's about showing the spirit of Manchester United to the world, showing that the spirit of Manchester United will not bow to destiny." Less than a week after the crash, assistant coach Jimmy Murphy, who had struggled to find players to continue the league, was encouraging Said at the club.
In the two of them, the unity of football is reflected in the strength of friendship and the unyielding belief in perseverance. This spirit shows the great charm of football's "irrelevant life, but higher than life" through the history of Manchester United's phoenix nirvana and rebirth. .
I believe that friends who have seen it will memorize the tear-jerking scene: After the air crash, player Duncan Edwards woke up and said to the assistant coach Jimmy who was accompanying him, "Jimmy, what time does our Saturday game start... don’t be late," Coach", Jimmy choked and nodded firmly and said "We will win." Duncan smiled and lay down in pain. In the next shot, Jimmy curled up in the dim stairwell alone, sobbing in pain, like nothing. Help children. (Duncan died shortly after he was only 21 years old when he was killed. He is considered the best player in Manchester United history. Bobby once said, "He may be the best player in England and even the world.")
In 1968, an air crash in Munich. Ten years later, Manchester United won the European Cup. Three survivors of the Munich air crash participated in the game. Bobby Charlton also scored a goal. After the game, Bobby lay down on the grass for a long time, wiping tears with the green grass. They cut their middle fingers, dripped blood into the Champions League, and then poured them on the green field to comfort the teammates who had passed away.
