In the past history of world football, many of the most powerful teams have had a highly symbolic fan number, or "exclusive number", for these clubs, this number represents glory and status.

For example, the former owner of Real Madrid, in the Bernabeu, the most symbolic and glorious is No. 7, and the previous owners of this number are all famous, Amancio, Juanito, Brattgno, Raul. Gonzalez, and now Portuguese superstar Cristiano. Ronaldo - In this summer transfer window, the seismic transfer transaction is not only Van Bizhuang, Real Madrid's meritorious captain, Raul, the spiritual leader of the Bernabeu, also announced his farewell to the Bernabeu and transferred to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, and C. Ronaldo also got the number "seven".

Another example is Napoli's No. 10, although Napoli is not a giant in European football now, and even a first-class team is barely there, but it is undeniable that their "No. 10" jersey is definitely a legend, and one of its most well-known owners is called Diego. Maradona. During his time at Napoli, Maradona almost single-handedly brought this little-known small team to the top of the league in one fell swoop.

There is also the No. 10 jersey of Serie A giants Inter Milan, and their owners are all star-studded - Ronaldo, Meazza, Mateus, Robert. Baggio ......

It can be seen that many times, the giants have a tradition of "glory number", which symbolizes the expectation and pursuit of the club and fans for this number, and also symbolizes the heavy responsibility and responsibility.

Manchester United also have their legendary number - number seven!

In the history of Manchester United, almost every owner of the number seven shirt was the most legendary star of that era. Law, George. Best, Brian. Robson, Mark. Hughes, Bobby. Charlton, Eric. Cantona, David. David Beckham...... These names, as long as they are fans who love football, will not be admired and respected.

Even Van Bizhuang's teammate and friend at Real Madrid, Cristiano. Ronaldo has not lived up to the honor of this number, he has grown step by step from an unknown fishing village boy to the top superstar in today's football without being looked at, and the number he carries at Manchester United is the number seven!

It is self-evident what such a number means and represents.

Fan Bizhuang is not too concerned about the jersey number, but the strong must have the mentality of a strong man, and being able to wear the most important, legendary and glorious jersey number of his club is an affirmation of his strength and status, and if possible, he is also willing to carry the No. 7 jersey.

However, he did not make his own demands on Ferguson for two reasons, one is that he has his own pride, although the number seven is legendary, even if he does not wear the number seven, he firmly believes that he can succeed at Old Trafford, and he can create a new legendary number with his own hands; On the other hand, Manchester United's No.7 now has its owner, Michael. Owen, as a former England golden boy, has played in giants like Liverpool and Real Madrid, and his ability and fame are naturally not weak, Fan Bizhuang, as a newcomer, does not need to grab the other party's number as soon as he comes - no matter what Owen thinks, but Fan Bizhuang feels that if he changes himself, the team has a newcomer, even if the other party is more famous than his own value, but if he wants to snatch his own jersey number, it must be unhappy, not to mention angry, but his heart must be unhappy.

So after Ferguson's "hint", Fan Bizhuang directly said what he thought, he didn't pick the jersey number, if he could, he would give him No. 23!

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fan Bizhuang deeply, nodded, and didn't say anything.

Fan Bizhuang was a little confused about Lord Fu's attitude, but since the other party didn't want to mention this topic again, he naturally wouldn't open his mouth again, anyway, for him, any number was fine, he didn't pick it.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the day when Old Trafford reopens.

Of course, the Premier League has not officially kicked off, so today's Old Trafford stadium, naturally there will be no games, but Manchester City is still crowded, Manchester United fans gather towards their holy land - Van Bizhuang's joining ceremony is today, in today's Dream Theater, Van Bizhuang will officially wear the Manchester United shirt, officially meet with the fans, and officially become a member of the Red Devils Manchester United.

Regardless of the previous impression of Fan Bizhuang, and no matter how much the "brawl" incident that caused a stir in the newspapers a few days ago has recruited Fan Bizhuang, it is worth mentioning that in terms of ability and current status and influence in world football, Fan Bizhuang is definitely the top group of people, and there is no Manchester United fan who does not look forward to this superstar from La Liga who led the team to win the World Cup.

"Apart from the Manchester United players, I only have one player I like, yes, he is Fan! Ha, he's a real phenomenal superstar! He's the best professional player in the world! I can't believe Van is about to become a part of Manchester United, it feels like I'm in a dream! ”

"I also think it's a dream, last year, we sold the best players of the club to Spain, but I didn't expect that a year later, we brought back a super player from the Bernabeu who is not inferior to Cristiano.

"I don't want to comment on other aspects of Van but I'm confident about how well he performs on the pitch and how much he can help the team!"

"Many people are criticizing Fan for his bad character, saying that he is an arrogant prick...... But I think that as long as Fan can score goals and continue to bring wins to the team, then these problems are not a problem! ”

"Isn't that right, Eric also a jerk? But we still love him the same! Bastards aren't afraid, we love bastards – the more jerks the more scared our opponents are, haha, that's us, proud Manchester United! ”

The streets and alleys are full of Manchester United shirts wearing red jerseys or red scarves, people cheering excitedly, talking and laughing, forming a surging stream of red people, winding towards Old Trafford.

Of course, the city isn't just red, at least half of it is blue. However, it was clear that red was the protagonist today, and Manchester United welcomed the first day of the club's history, which was a great event for the club and the fans.

There are also a lot of Manchester City fans on the street, looking at the excited and excited expressions and demeanor of the red crowd, they can't help but whisper and scold, and they don't know whether they are envy or jealousy - it is estimated that there are feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, in addition, there is a trace of unwillingness.

In fact, in recent years, not only Manchester United has been tirelessly pursuing Van Bizhuang, Manchester City has not been idle, and has also continued to increase the offer, sending a transfer application to Real Madrid (Villarreal), this summer, Manchester City has joined the "Van Bizhuang battle" as always, but the result is somewhat embarrassing to Manchester City's senior management and fans - Real Madrid does not talk to Manchester City at all, and does not give a chance at all.

This is actually quite normal, with the big money owner Abu Dhabi consortium into the ownership, in recent years, Manchester City has waved checks all over the world to buy high-level players, and the results have also improved a lot, it is a very competitive team in the Premier League, but no matter how competitive it is, it can't cover up their nouveau riche temperament - this is no way, the reason why the giants are giants, in addition to sufficient heritage, stable results, and more importantly, the name of the giants is a signboard, This is enough to attract more high-level professional players to join.

And now Manchester City, in addition to money, there is only money.

There's no denying that money is a good thing and can do a lot of things that no one else can do, but in the world of football, sometimes money can't do everything. For example, Manchester City, it is true that they have money, and they have bought a lot of excellent players, but that's all, the real top players will not be willing to join this "nouveau riche" team.

The reason is very simple, the real top superstars, they are not short of money, or rather, they can get the top salary package when they go to any team, so they care more about honor and greater exposure. Obviously, in these two points, the current Manchester City will not be satisfied with the real top superstars.

In recent years, Manchester City has made sky-high offers to many European giants from time to time, and has had scandals with a certain superstar from time to time, but in the end no superstar has joined - the reason is this.

This summer, Manchester City made their first offer to Real Madrid for 100 million euros, which is enough to prove that the Blue Moon has a deep pocket. To be honest, for the "big money" Manchester City, the Real Madrid senior management is itchy, but Fan Bizhuang made it clear that he does not want to contact other teams except Manchester United, which breaks the thoughts of the Real Madrid leadership, so they can only reluctantly kick Manchester City aside - especially after the second and third offers exceeded 200 million euros, watching such a large transfer amount slip away from the front, the mentality of the Real Madrid senior management can be described as a knife.

Of course, this is not the most ruthless, Manchester City is also ruthless, a posture of ambition for Fan Bizhuang, and urgently needs a real top superstar to sit in charge of the blue moon that enhances the club's influence and level, and it is said that it has also revealed to Real Madrid that as long as they are willing to sell Fan Bizhuang to the City Stadium, they will provide a blank check, and the amount will be issued by Real Madrid.

Maybe it's just an exaggerated rumor, but it's enough to show that Manchester City spared no expense in order to get a top superstar like Van Bizhuang.

But unfortunately, no matter how much money they offered, Fan Bizhuang refused to do so.

This made Manchester City fans seem a little unwilling and angry.

So on this day, when seeing the fans of the city's sworn enemies rejoicing at the arrival of the superstar they were looking forward to, Manchester City fans were really a little sour in their hearts, and many Manchester City fans were resentful, and they drove away with Manchester United fans, you scolded me back and forth, and there were chaotic scenes on the streets from time to time, and even occasional skirmishes.

Fortunately, the Manchester City Government has also prepared for this grand meeting ceremony held by Manchester United, and sent a lot of police to maintain order and patrol the streets, which suppressed the anxious fans of the two teams.
