The North East Derby in England is about to begin. Sunderland fans gather in groups. Two hours before the game starts, many people have already started queuing up to enter the stadium. And more fans are because they have not bought tickets.
, while standing outside the stadium, hoping someone would give up their tickets.
It's a pity that they were all disappointed.
This is the North East Derby, this is a hot game between Newcastle and Sunderland.
How could any fan give up their tickets?
The capacity of more than 40,000 people at the Stadium of Light seems to be a lot, but in front of nearly 200,000 fans, it is still not enough to seat.
"Get out of Sunderland!"
"You bastard from Newcastle, die!"
"Fuck Newcastle bastards!"
"Kill them!"
If it were a normal game, Sunderland fans would sing and support their team. But it was different when facing Newcastle. Every fan would curse Newcastle fiercely.
"What, are you scared?"
Zheng Yuan looked at Tang Ruwen who was pale and said with a smile.
Tang Ruwen nodded gently.
She was indeed a little scared. It was her first time to watch a game at the stadium, and she didn't expect such a scene. She had only heard that the stadium was very popular before, but she never thought it would be so popular. Although Su Yun gave them the tickets
It's a VIP seat ticket.
But when Tang Ruwen looked at the ferocious fans on the left and right, he felt really scared.
They looked at those people as if they were going to eat them alive.
Moreover, many people were shirtless and frothing, and looking at those muscles made people tremble. If it were these, it would not be a big deal. After all, Tang Ruwen had also seen that the boys in the school were not in a normal state when watching football.
What Tang Ruwen cannot accept the most are those children.
Not far from Tang Ruwen, there were several children. They looked to be six or seven years old, but all of them used swear words.
Tang Ruwen was able to be selected by the school to study abroad, of course because his English was very good.
She could completely understand what these children were saying.
The words "Newcastle bastard" actually came from the mouths of these children. To Tang Ruwen, it was surprising and unacceptable. Tang Ruwen also couldn't accept the middle fingers raised by those children.
This is the stadium.
"Since you are coming to Sunderland, you should also know some English history. Newcastle and Sunderland have been feuding for hundreds of years. During the British bourgeois revolution, many people from Newcastle and Sunderland were involved in the tug of war.
Die. This is a blood debt."
Zheng Yuan explained to Tang Ruwen with a smile.
"This deep hatred has never been resolved. Until football came out, the hatred between them was transferred to the football field. That's why there was such a scene as you saw."
Tang Ruwen nodded slightly. Because he was coming to Sunderland, Tang Ruwen also learned a little bit about the history of Sunderland. He knew that Sunderland and Newcastle next to it were very difficult to deal with. But what he read in books was just
It's a very plain description, but it doesn't have such an intuitive understanding as now.
"Actually, this is relatively mild now. Twenty or thirty years ago, it was very common for large-scale conflicts between fans of the two teams. Dead people often appeared in the conflicts. Management has been stricter in recent years.
, so there are very few bloody conflicts between fans."
Tang Ruwen opened his mouth wide.
She really didn't expect that there could be bloodshed in football.
She didn't understand this very much.
In his opinion, isn't it just football? How could it rise to such a high level?
"Ruwen, do you know which team is the biggest club in England?"
"Is it Manchester United? When I saw the domestic media reporting on English football, they said Manchester United was the dominant player in the Premier League."
Tang Ruwen said a little uncertainly.
Fortunately, Tang Ruwen and the others were in the VIP seats. Many fans here relied on their status and did not shout loudly. Although Tang Ruwen's voice was a bit low, Zheng Yuan could still hear it.
"No, it's not Manchester United, it's Liverpool. Liverpool is the king of English football, but their performance has declined somewhat in recent years. But Liverpool is still the number one club in England. The famous coach who made Liverpool the number one club in England is Xiang.
Clear."
Zheng Yuan talked about the history of football very eloquently.
"Shankly has a famous saying that football has nothing to do with life and death, but it is higher than life and death."
"Higher than life and death?"
Tang Ruwen chewed these words and felt very unbelievable.
"You will know if you stay in England for a long time. Football in England has penetrated into all aspects of society."
…………
This is one of the most popular derbies in England, the North East Derby.
There is no need for mobilization at all. Players from both sides will be able to inspire their fighting spirit on their own. Even players who have just arrived at the club will do the same. This is not because they like their clubs. Many of them even don’t know Sunderland and Newcastle.
Why is there such hatred.
But when it comes to the derby, I will still try my best because the atmosphere is here.
Just look at the fans. This atmosphere can easily be transmitted to the players.
But despite this, Su Yun was still doing the final mobilization in the locker room.
"People in Newcastle are saying that we will definitely return to League One at the end of the season. What do you think?"
"Head, our points are higher than Newcastle's right now?"
Michael Gray stood up and said loudly.
Don't look at the fact that both Quinn and Melville are relatively old and have high prestige in the club. However, Quinn's time in Sunderland is a bit short, and Quinn himself is as stable as his size.
Because I have experienced a lot of things, I rarely get excited when I encounter anything.
Although Melville has been at Sunderland for a relatively long time, he is the type of person who does more than he talks. He talks very little, but he practices it on the court.
Only Michael Gray is a player coming out of Sunderland's youth academy.
He has been at Sunderland for more than ten years since he came to Sunderland. This person is very enthusiastic and very popular in the dressing room. Many of the players who have just joined Sunderland are very fond of him.
Michael Gray.
"Newcastle had a draw and a loss in the first two games, and they are still in the relegation zone. Do they have the nerve to criticize us?"
Robbie Savage pouted.
"Yes, Newcastle, who have the right to laugh at us? They'd better pray that they don't get relegated."
Su Yun is very happy about the cooperation between Gray and Savage. "I never say hypocritical things. I will never say hypocritical things like derby is just an ordinary league. Derby is war, and you are the warriors on the battlefield."
"War requires victory and defeat. I only want victory, and I only want warriors. Do you have the confidence to destroy Newcastle?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Destroy Newcastle!"
"Destroy Newcastle!"
…………
"Hello, audience friends. This is the much-anticipated Northeastern Derby. Sunderland faces Newcastle at home. Listen to the voices of the fans on the stadium, and you will know how popular this game is."
The commentators for this match are John Mortensen and Gary Lineker.
"Before the game, both sides were unwilling to be outdone. Newcastle said that Sunderland would definitely be relegated after the season. But Sunderland, not to be outdone, also laughed at Newcastle's current results. Today, the two sides will finally have a face-to-face contest."
"After the start of this season, Sunderland is in good form. It has won two consecutive games and scored six points. It is also ranked first in the Premier League. However, Newcastle is in very poor form. The first two games were one draw and one draw.
burden."
Mortensen introduced to everyone the current situation of the two teams.
Players from both sides have already begun to line up and shake hands with the referee.
The game is about to start.
"Su! Su! Su!"
"Uuuuuu——"
"Long live Sue!"
Mortensen, who was commentating, was also startled by the cheers. The cheers of 42,000 fans at the Stadium of Light made the entire stadium boil.
"It's Su Yun who came out. Listen to the cheers of the fans, Su Yun is so popular in Sunderland. But Su Yun has to be careful. Because if he loses this game, it will be difficult for him to hear it again
Such cheers. Of course, if he wins this game, Su Yun will become a hero in Sunderland."
When Su Yun heard the cheers, he naturally waved his hands to the fans.
Seeing Su Yun's actions, the fans cheered loudly.
"This is him."
Tang Ruwen murmured to herself when she saw Su Yun's appearance. Su Yun was very indifferent in life, but Tang Ruwen always felt that Su Yun was missing something. But she never knew what it was. But today she knew
.
Su Yun is far more confident and comfortable on the court than in life.
He was born to play on the court.
Suddenly Tang Ruwen thought so.
After waving to the fans, Su Yun came to Gullit with an expressionless face. Although when Gullit was a player, Su Yun loved watching him play.
That Milan team back then attracted the attention of many Chinese fans and was loved by many Milan fans.
Su Yun was also among them.
But it is completely different from the current Gullit. Their identities have changed, and it is impossible for Su Yun to return to his original fan mentality.
The two simply shook hands politely and then quickly turned around and left.
"beep--"
"The third round of the Premier League, and the most important game of this round, the Northeastern Derby between Sunderland and Newcastle has begun. Newcastle kicked off first."
The match between Sunderland and Newcastle has finally begun.
The fans who had just cheered for Su Yun started to boo when they saw Newcastle serving first.
