Chapter 52: A Strange Atmosphere

The morning sun rose again, and Marginson opened his eyes from his sleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's seven o'clock in the morning, which is what it takes to get up every morning for Marginson.

He turned his head to look at the calendar on the table, which had flipped to January 27. Below the date on this page, a horizontal line is bolded with a red pen.

Today is the fourth round of the FA Cup, and FC United will face Manchester United away.

Despite being over 50 years old, Marginson's room is still full of sporty atmosphere, with FC United's season-only shirts and group photos of the team hanging on the walls, which does not look like a team's manager's room, but rather a team diehard.

Yes, he was just an ordinary fan before he became the head coach of FC United.

Marginson turned his head to look at his wife, who was still asleep, and carefully lifted the quilt to avoid making a sound.

He walked out of the room and gently closed the door, and on a table in the living room outside the room, there was a neatly arranged suit that his wife had ironed for him the previous night.

He walked over and carefully folded the outfit, a black blazer, a white shirt, and straight black suit pants. He sorted it and put it in one of his black suitcases.

He was ready to change into the suit when he got to Old Trafford, fifteen miles later.

When he usually directs the game, he usually wears a team training uniform or a sportswear. Today, though, he decided to put on a formal suit.

After packing his luggage, he went to the bathroom, looked at the gray-bearded old man in the mirror, he gently wet his face, and then smeared shaving foam on his face.

He picked up the razor that had been placed next to the wash basin and began to fix his beard.

Li Qingshan had already gotten up, and after finishing his morning workout plan, he began to prepare breakfast for himself in the kitchen.

Today's game time is five o'clock in the afternoon, although he has mentioned a strong team like Liverpool before, but he is still very much looking forward to the duel with strong opponents, especially today's game is different from the last one, they are going to the famous Manchester United home Old Trafford, thinking that he is about to play at Old Trafford, this football stadium that has only been seen on TV before, Li Qingshan feels a little unreal.

It's really not a dream, is it?

Because the match was played at Old Trafford, less than 15 kilometres from Gig Lane, FC United didn't leave too early, they had lunch at home, then gathered at Gig Lane and then took the bus provided by the club to go directly to Old Trafford. Once there, go straight into the dressing room to change your shirt and go out to warm up, and it won't be long before the game starts.

FC United's core fans are gathering at Newton's Sith Bar at the moment and are not ready to buy tickets to Old Trafford today – they are still unwilling to let the Glazer family earn a penny of their own.

"Is the slogan ready to be brought? Check it out! ”

"Bring it!"

"We'll go to the side of the road and wait for our team's bus and then we'll meet on the grass at the gate, where we'll watch the game, and there's a big screen that will broadcast the game live."

Although they will not come into the stadium to watch the game, they will also show their support to the team and also find a place to watch the game together.

The FC United bus came to a halt in the car park behind the Old Trafford side, and the players were able to see the bustling Manchester United fans on the road leading to Old Trafford a short distance away.

Manchester United will naturally wear the red home shirt when they are at home, while FC United will only wear the white away shirt.

"Guys, we don't know what we're going to do in a minute, and it looks like we're about to feel the real away game.......," Jerome Wright said as he leaned out the window.

After the bus stopped, the players followed the coaching team to get off the bus in turn. Most of them have been to Old Trafford before, but it's the first time they've come to the pitch as players.

Marginson had changed into his black suit and had a serious face.

Seeing his manager's serious face, the players of FC United naturally walked behind him with strained faces. Trying to maintain the dignity of this as a Manchester United opponent.

However, the imaginary away treatment was not encountered.

Most of the Manchester United fans on the side of the road looked at this team that is inextricably linked to Manchester United. They also don't know what attitude to take towards FC United.

Enemy? Most Manchester United fans don't feel that way, and this team is made up of a group of die-hard United fans who don't feel too much bad for the team emotionally. What's more, this team is only against the Glazer family, and not directly against Manchester United.

Friends? I can't say either. Moreover, this team is the opponent of Manchester United in this game. Since it is an opponent, it is natural that he will not behave very friendly before the game.

It was with the slightly eerie gaze of Manchester United fans that the FC United players walked towards the visitors' dressing room along the way.

There was no booing, no cheers. It's just watching it in silence, and the players who watch FC United are furious in their hearts, is this a new way to put pressure on the visiting team?

Thankfully, when they walked to the stadium door, they heard cheers, which belonged to their fans. FC United fans gathered at Old Trafford and cheered on their team as they saw their players walk by.

Manchester United fans even seemed indifferent to the crowd of FC United fans who were making a lot of noise at Old Trafford's door. If this is a fan of other teams, they will never dare to be so unscrupulous in this place.

There were even some Manchester United fans who walked into the crowd of FC United fans and had a good conversation, with Manchester United's red home shirt on one side and Manchester United's white away shirt on the other. This scene seems so natural that it feels very strange to outsiders.

Actually, there is nothing surprising about it. You know, this group of fans of FC United were Manchester United fans seven years ago, and many of them even used to be Manchester United season ticket holders.

It's no surprise that many of Old Trafford's Manchester United fans are friends with them. Although these people have chosen a different approach because of the arrival of Glazer at Manchester United. But basically they don't hate each other.

When FC United was established, it also received donations from many Manchester United fans. So this scene may seem a little strange to outsiders, but they were originally a family, but they split up later. Moreover, United has only been formed for a few years, and has not yet had time to go further and further from each other like AC Milan and Inter Milan.

The FC United players walked into the dressing room to the cheers of their fans. It was as if it were their home turf.
