The spirit of the red devil that never dies

Manchester United, a name that means so much to me. Man United, a legend about men.
I remember the first time I picked a pirated jersey from Manchester United. It cost 16 yuan. At that time, I was in the first year of junior high school, and now I am in the third year of junior high, which is about ten years ago. At that time, the price should not be cheap, hehe. My mother originally wanted to pick a blue jersey with a big rooster logo on it. You know, the French team, but I ignorantly chose another bright red jersey. At that time, I didn't know anything, I just thought it looked good, this is the so-called love at first sight! A very beautiful round badge, inhabited by a devil holding a trident. Vodafone's logo is only known after understanding the team. Such a beautiful jersey gave me the desire to know the story of the people behind the jersey and the source of motivation that gave me a formal involvement in the world of football. In this way, Manchester United completed my enlightenment and understanding of football.
When I was in elementary school, I didn't watch any games. When I was in the same team, I heard Ronaldo talk about the most. This is the name of a football star that my mother can name, and it is the only one. When I was in junior high school, too many people talked about Beckham during their meal and rest. I learned that he was originally from Manchester United, but he had already moved to Real Madrid. That is, at that time, the school was full of Real Madrid jerseys, and even the jerseys for the class to play games inevitably chose the hot Real Madrid with the heartthrob Beckham. The jersey is printed with the famous phrase "the taste of coffee" that only people in the class came up with. On the 23rd, I still remember that my partner printed the code words of the girl in love on the back of the No. 23 jersey: "Aegean Sea", he likes a girl named Qin. When Real Madrid's star effect of the seven wolves swept across the country, I was surprised that I was indifferent. When Real Madrid was in China, I looked at the so-called superstars like a watcher looking at the pandas in the zoo. I know that there is still red blood flowing in my body, and that there is still a red devil stationed in my heart. And I don't remember any spectator experience of Beckham playing at Manchester United. It made me realize that I was not in love with one person, but the entire team.

For some reason, since Beckham left Manchester United and switched to Real Madrid, the results of Manchester United and Real Madrid are not as good as they used to be. And my beginning as a Manchester United fan was full of bitterness and depression, only waiting in silence. The Champions League is often eliminated by a team called AC Milan. At that time, I stayed up late to watch the Champions League for the first time. The host was a fat man and a skinny man, and he said unwarranted consolation words. Manchester United were defeated 1-0 at home and away. Spo and Shevchenko are monsters in my mind. In high school, it was AC Milan again, Manchester United 3-2 at home, but suffered a 3-0 away game against Waterloo. This time the flood beast became Kaka. In the league, a blue team has become a household name among fans in an instant from obscurity. Abu's gold-dollar offensive has dignified the whole of Europe with an unprecedented dashing attitude. Under the leadership of another arrogant and unruly coach Mourinho, the Premier League entered the league. Blues Chelsea era. Youngsters in Chelsea shirts spread like fire in and around the school. And I'm still waiting for the restoration of a dynasty. A dynasty that belongs to the red.



From the first time I met the Manchester United shirt, I fell in love with Manchester United, the spirit of the Red Devils. Manchester United were the first team that made me cry watching a documentary, and they are destined to be the last. I have made him my faith. I remember that when the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash was released in an issue of "World Football", the lovely Duan Xuan was the host. He must have no idea how many Manchester United fans just looked at these familiar black and white pictures. , the well-known plot will be like rain as always. My father was on the side, but I couldn't hold back my tears. The Munich air disaster took away eight outstanding players from the mighty Manchester United era. These young players with outstanding talents made Manchester United a favorite for the championship, and this accident suddenly made Manchester United into a corner. But ten years later, the surviving Busby children finally made their way to the top of Europe, and Busby lifted the trophy eight times, calling out the name of a deceased comrade each time he held the trophy over his head. , The players cut their middle fingers, dripped blood into the trophy, and sprinkled it on the blue turf to comfort their companions under Jiuquan. I desperately raised my head to keep the tears from dripping so clearly, and then I had no choice but to run to the bathroom.

It was also in that year, 2008, that Manchester United completed the feat of reaching the top of Europe for the third time, once again presenting the best gift to its companions. Fifty years after the plane crash, Busby's ninety-ninth birthday, and several doorpost rescues, they seem to be children of God. To paraphrase Slumdog Millionaire, this is destiny!
I don't know how long I can love someone, but I'm sure that I will only love this team that makes me dream for the rest of my life, Manchester United, I only took a moment to choose him, as Faye Wong sang, Just because I saw you more in the crowd, I can't forget your face again. But I've branded myself with the Red Devil's stamp. Manchester United! It represents not only football, but also many attitudes of life. And this unyielding attitude to life will forever affect me.

Luckily, I fell in love with the Man United.

    The story of the rebirth of a great team from ashes is not bloody and sensational enough, but it tells the story of Manchester United's recovery from the air crash to its reconstruction and revival in detail.

  • Jimmy Murphy: [to one of the newly signed new players] Here you are. An hour till kick off. We'll find you a kit.
