Perhaps due to the approaching Champions League final, the weather in Manchester has been very good in the past few days, and even the flight, which is usually delayed due to weather reasons, arrived on time this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jim stood outside the gate of the departure hall, holding up a sign that read: "Emir? Angrove's name, he was sent by the club to receive this special guest, as well as his family.

Watching the travellers slowly walk out of the gates, many of them wearing shirts, it is clear that most of them are coming to Manchester for tomorrow's Champions League final.

This final has turned Manchester into a football paradise, with countless fans from all over the world flocking to the stadium just to catch a glimpse of the Champions League final playing out in the Red Devils derby.

Two teams with complex grievances, originally born in the same city, are now facing off in the Champions League final, and at the same time in Manchester, which is a game worth watching for any football fan.

According to the pre-match news reports, this year's Champions League final will surpass any other Champions League final in history in terms of broadcast scope and influence, and not only that, but this final will also bring huge economic benefits to Manchester, including tourism revenue.

From the perspective of a native of Manchester, Jim is proud of the Red Rebels, as the team is contributing in its own way to what many have described as a declining industrial city.

Even Manchester's town hall sees the Red Rebels as a symbol of the spirit of Manchester, and they hope that Manchester can be as passionate, enterprising and miracle as the Red Rebels have already done.

As for the Red Devils Manchester United...... Every time the name was mentioned, Jim pouted with disdain.

In the past few years, the relationship between the Red Rebels and Manchester United has become worse and worse, when Keane and others were still there, although the officials of the two clubs were not harmonious, but there were still some contacts in private, but Keane left, Beckham came to the Red Rebels, and Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family, and the two clubs were not close.

In addition, in the past few seasons, the Red Rebels have risen rapidly, and Manchester United has been in a rapid downturn. Neville and other players who have a good personal relationship with the Red Rebels are afraid to visit the Red Rebels openly, which further breaks the relationship between the two clubs.

Believe that once Giggs and Gary? Neville and others will retire, and the relationship between the Red Rebels and Manchester United will completely degenerate into a relationship of sworn enemies like Liverpool and Everton, or even enemies of the century like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

"Hello, I'm the emir? Angelov! ”

As Jim pondered, a 16-year-old boy wearing the Red Rebels' home jersey came to Jim, looked at the sign held up in his hand, and politely said that behind him were a man and a woman, who should be his parents.

"Oh, hello, Emile, I'm the reception driver for the Red Rebels Club, my name is Jim, it's a pleasure to meet you, welcome to Manchester!" Jim immediately smiled and stretched out his hand, his chubby face, although his eyes narrowed into a line when he laughed, but it was friendly enough.

"Come, I'll get the luggage, please come with me!" Jim grabbed their luggage in one hand and led them to the parking lot.

Since Jim was wearing the uniform of the Red Rebels and Angrove was wearing the jersey of the Red Rebels, there were two very different treatments along the way, some were polite and friendly, and even a foreign tourist even ran over to take a picture with Jim, while others were cold and even hostile.

"Hey, emil, in Manchester, you have to get used to this atmosphere!" Jim said with a smile.

"Why?" Angrove asked, following Jim.

"Those who are polite to us are generally neutral fans, or Red Rebel fans, our own people, and those who are more indifferent, even a little hostile, are basically our enemies!"

"Are you a fan of Manchester United and Manchester City?" Angrove asked with a smile.

When he was in Bulgaria, he had already heard Red Rebels fans near Manchester talk about these things on the Internet, and he was very envious at the time, but now he has just arrived in Manchester, and he immediately enjoys this treatment, he can only say that a football city is a football city.

"Well, that's right, those who wear red fans or short shirts are basically damn Manchester United fans, Manchester City's jersey is a terrible ugly sky blue, only our Red Rebels jersey is the best, we are red, green and gold lines!"

"It symbolizes that we represent the tradition and will of the Green and Gold Army back then!" Angelov added with a smile.

"That's right!" Jim laughed.

The group walked into the parking lot, and Jim immediately beckoned the Angroves to get into the car.

"The club has arranged accommodation for you and a trip so you can visit the Red Rebels stadium and the Newton Heath training base today." Jim said with a smile as he drove.

"Red Rebel Stadium? Newton Heath training base? Angrove was like a dream, "Can you see the training?" ”

Jim smiled and shook his head, every year I don't know how many lucky fans, like Angel Grove, come from afar to receive him, every expression is the same as Angel Grove now, full of pilgrimage piety and excitement, which also makes Jim always feel that his job is very meaningful, not only to earn money to support his family, but also to dedicate himself to the team he loves.

"No, I'm sorry, Emir, the players are off today!"

"Holiday?" Angrove's father was a little surprised, "Isn't there a game tomorrow?" ”

Angelov shook his head with a smile on the side, "Daddy, you should know more about football, giving players a holiday before the tournament is conducive to the players to relax, Mr. Mourinho often takes a holiday before the tournament." ”

Jim smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Angrove, but you don't have to regret it, Emile, you can be received by the head coach Mr. Mourinho at the Newton Heath training base!" ”

"Oh my God, is this true?" The emir almost jumped up from the back row, and his parents were so frightened that they pushed him back into their seats.

'Yes, it's the club's arrangement, but I have to warn you, Emir, Mr Mourinho is busy preparing for the game and he can only give you a maximum of 10 minutes. Jim loves this feisty little ghost.

"No, it's okay, it doesn't matter, don't say it's 10 minutes, even if it's ...... Even if it's just for 1 minute, just let me take a picture with him, I think it's worth it! Angrove was indescribably excited.

He originally thought that he would come to Manchester just to visit and watch a game, but he didn't expect that he could talk to Mourinho for 10 minutes, which made him almost suffocated with excitement, and he didn't even know how he was going to talk to Mourinho later, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"Don't worry, Emir, don't look at Mr. Mourinho's usual coolness, in fact he is a good person!" Jim reminded with a smile.

Mourinho always gives people the illusion that it is difficult to approach on live TV and in interviews, which leads to many fans who think he is a little moody, but in fact, people who are often in contact with him know that the Portuguese surname is still good, at least he treats his own people very well!

"So where are we going now?" Angrove asked with concern.

"Red Rebel Theme Park!" Jim laughed.

Angel Grove's eyes immediately lit up, and that was the temple of Red Rebels fans!

…………………… Entering the ring highway from the airport, you can see the conspicuous huge advertisement in the distance, on which the Red Rebel players are alive and passionate, so that every passer-by who enters Manchester can easily feel it.

"This is the ad for the Adidas sponsorship club!" Angrove asked, pointing to the huge ad in front of him.

Jim smiled and nodded.

Angrove had already grabbed his camera and slapped it at the advertisement, "Be sure to upload it to my blog when you go back, so they can envy it too!" "In the end, young people like to be in the limelight.

Walking east from the ring expressway, it didn't take long to see the towering Red Rebel Stadium that looks like a giant lifebuoy, due to the approach of the Champions League final, the rubber molds around the stadium are dyed red by the lights, and the green and gold lines shine in the sun, which is very dazzling and spectacular.

The stadium is surrounded by the Red Rebels theme park, which has developed into a new economic circle in Manchester, and has been developed into a multi-functional business district integrating sports, entertainment, tourism and shopping by the Red Rebels and Manchester Political Axe.

When Jim's Audi comes down from the Beltway, he can go straight to the parking lot of the Red Rebels Stadium from the branch line, and then take the Angrove family to see the stadium, and a waitress keeps introducing them along the way.

Angelov is a die-hard fan of the Red Rebels, and although this is his first time at the Red Rebels Stadium, he knows everything about the stadium, not only the facilities of the stadium, but also everything in the exhibition hall, he looks so familiar, not at all like the first time.

"In the forum of our club's official website, there is a post dedicated to the Red Rebels Stadium, which is very detailed, and even the addition of a ball in our club's exhibition hall will be updated immediately, they are all die-hard Red Rebels loyalists, and they all support the team in this way." Angel Grove laughed.

For some ordinary tourists, visiting the stadium may be a formality, but for Angrove, it is like a pilgrimage, even if it is every football in the exhibition hall, every trophy, he has to take a photo himself, he said that he plans to use these materials to decorate his blog.

It was because of Angrove's actions that the tour of the stadium lasted a whole morning.

At noon, Jim welcomed them to the Red Rebels' themed restaurant on behalf of the club and enjoyed a Champions League fan set, which was a set meal prepared by the Red Rebels club for fans, and they could also get a discount with their Red Rebels membership card.

After eating, Jim took Angrove's parents to a nearby hotel to rest, but Angrove didn't feel tired at all, and he dragged Jim to the theme park to wander around.

Since tomorrow is the Champions League final, the whole theme park is full of people, and there is a strong atmosphere of pre-finals, but the amazing thing is that no one sells scalper tickets here, so that many fans who come from afar to buy scalper tickets are disappointed.

When Angrove asked Jim about this doubt, the latter couldn't help but laugh.

"Where did the scalpers come from, this time all the tickets of our club, except for arranging a part for Manchester United fans, most of them were sold out within three days of the start of sales, and all of them were purchased by club members, and each member can only buy one ticket, so the scalpers can't get extra tickets at all."

Normally, ticket sales are based on members first, and then other fans, but this time, the Red Rebels have sold out all of their tickets except for some of them as free gifts to lucky fans, as well as specially invited guests such as fans like Angel Grove, and even the VIP box has been booked out in advance.

"Our Red Rebels' ticket sales have always been very hot, coupled with our low ticket prices, so that our home attendance has always been very hot, even the FA Cup and League Cup attendance can reach 8 or 9 percent, let alone this kind of key battle, if you are not a member, it is almost impossible to buy tickets!"

There is no way to do this, the Red Rebels Stadium is so big, but there are so many people who want to watch the game, it is impossible for the Red Rebels to take care of the interests of every fan, so in the end they can only choose to give priority to the interests of members, but when the time comes, there will be a giant screen live broadcast of the ball game in the theme park outside the stadium, and the merchants of the theme park will also cooperate with the Red Rebels to carry out activities.

This is also a kind of compensation for the club's fans who come from afar but cannot enter the stadium to watch the game.

After visiting the theme park, Jim took Angrove to the Newton Heath training base.

With the first team on holiday and the youth team's season long over, the entire Newton Heath training base looks deserted, but there are still quite a few staff members busy in it to clean up the aftermath.

Led by Jim, Angrove toured the entire Newton Heath training base, but there were two places that could only be seen from afar, the laboratory and the locker room, which were the most sacred and mysterious places for the Red Rebels, and were always closed to all visitors, even the biggest names.

Angrove was not at all surprised by this, he had heard about it a long time ago.

Mourinho saw him in the evening, when he had just discussed things with Cassel and others.

When Angrove, who was waiting outside, looked at the club's coaching staff who came out of the tactical seminar room, one by one who could only see photos on the Internet before, but now appeared in front of him alive, the excitement in his heart was that he grabbed the camera and took a hard shot, like a reporter.

However, Angelov really has the potential to be a journalist, and was led into Mourinho's office by Jim, and before the Portuguese could speak, he was excited first.

"May I ask Mr. Mourinho, will we win tomorrow's game?"

Mourinho was stunned, Jim was stunned, and Angrove realized that he was too excited.

"Haha, definitely, we will definitely win!" Mourinho smiled, but assured solemnly!

"We're not just going to win tomorrow's final, we're going to win all the titles we won in 2007, we're going to finish a Grand Slam and make football history!"
