Chapter 374 Chapter [003] - Debut at Manchester United - [Today's second update]
As early as when Manchester United announced that they would hold a grand joining ceremony for Xu Zhou at Old Trafford, the fans of the Manchester United team were boiling. They flocked to the ticket office and frantically bought tickets for the joining ceremony.Although, it's not that they haven't met Xu Zhou, Manchester United fans are very excited to have such a capable player join.Because before this they had been silent in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving.
They all know how big a problem Cristiano Ronaldo's departure will bring to the team.There are few players in European football who can carry the banner left by Cristiano Ronaldo.But now the Manchester United fans are excited because they welcome Xu Zhou. They think that Xu Zhou's arrival will definitely do better than Cristiano Ronaldo. As for why?That's because Xu Zhou is now a member of their Manchester United team.
The Manchester United team was engaged in intense preparations, but Xu Zhou personally had nothing to be busy with.Now he has found a house, the environment here is very good, and the club's training ground is also very close, which makes Xu Zhou very satisfied.
During this period, Xu Zhou was also photographed by the paparazzi in England, and Dang Rang also met those reporters.But Xu Zhou didn't express any opinions. He knew that the Manchester United team was making such great efforts to prepare for his franchise meeting, and they just hoped that they would put all their problems on that day.
Time passed quickly, and now it's time for Xu Zhou to make his official debut at Manchester United.On this Saturday night, Xu Zhou will appear in the Old Trafford Stadium and officially meet with [-] Manchester United fans.At this time, Xu Zhou was still very nervous. After all, this was Xu Zhou's first time.
This afternoon, many private cars and a huge crowd flocked to Old Trafford.It seems that there is a very important game at Old Trafford today, and you can still see a lot of reporters fighting against the cameras appearing in the crowd and flocking to the La Trafford stadium.
Old Trafford Stadium (English: Old-Trafford) is located in Greater Manchester, west of the city of Manchester. It is the home of the English club Manchester United and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world.Manchester United began to use this stadium as their home stadium in 1910. During World War II in 1941, the stadium was bombed and moved to Manchester City's home stadium, Maine Road.
Old Trafford is the home of Manchester United. It has a resounding nickname, "The-Theatre-of-Dreams". Manchester United star Bobby Charlton first called Old Trafford this way, because here, countless classic games have been staged in the past 100 years. The best players and the best teams have performed here.
老特拉福德球场于2006年开始起在球场的东北及西北面进行大规模扩建,并在2006年/07年赛季正式使用,入座人数由68,000人增加至76,000人。它是现时全英格兰座位数目第二多的足球场,仅次于新建成、拥有90,000个座位的新温布利球场。2006年11月对朴茨茅斯入座入数达到76,004人,创造了自球场扩建以来的最高入座纪录。
At 18 o'clock that night, more than 6 fans had poured into Old Trafford. At this time, they were singing the team anthem of Manchester United in the stadium, and they were waiting for the appearance of their most anticipated signing this summer.
Before stepping into the aisle, Xu Zhou was told that today they would not enter the stadium from the player aisle, but enter the stadium from the central aisle.
There are two passages in Old Trafford, one is called the central passage and the other is called the player passage.Built in 1910, the central aisle is the only surviving part of the Old Course from the 1941 air raid.The central passage has been used until 1993 to complete its historical mission.Due to the large inclination angle and steep slope inside the channel, many Manchester United players at that time developed the habit of jumping into the stadium.And now Manchester United's players are obviously much luckier.The new player tunnel is wide enough to drive a heavy truck.The ground slope of the new channel is gentle and the lighting is good, which is convenient for photography.An auto-retractable white awning is specially installed at the entrance of the passage.When the player door comes out from the inside, the canopy opens automatically to protect the players from being injured by debris accidentally falling from the auditorium.
Xu Zhou was a little stunned at the time, the central passage?That passage with a steep angle and a steep slope?Perhaps this is because the Manchester United people want Xu Zhou to experience the history of the Manchester United team.Xu Zhoudao was not dissatisfied with this arrangement of the Manchester United team. It would be good to experience the central aisle of Old Trafford.
At this time, the host immediately announced: "Dear fans, reporters, welcome to Old Trafford, Xu Zhou's joining ceremony. Now we invite our protagonist to play today!"
The cheers of the fans immediately sounded from the stands of Old Trafford. At the same time, almost all the fans and reporters turned their attention to the player tunnel.However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing Xu Zhou appear, the fans and reporters were anxious.
And at this moment, a figure jumped out from the central passage.The fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamation, apparently they did not expect Xu Zhou to come out from there.Moreover, it is not known that Xu Zhouzhou came out from there alone, including the team's head coach Sir Alex Ferguson, the team's transfer department personnel and other miscellaneous personnel.
Unlike the others who wore suits and leather shoes, Xu Zhou wore a simple sportswear today, which looked a lot more sunny.
The moment Xu Zhou stepped into the Old Traft Stadium, he was attracted by the stadium.Although, it is not the first time he has come to Old Trafford, but it is the first time he has come to Old Trafford with such a mood.
The design of the Old Trafford Stadium pursues a solemn and magnificent visual effect in the use of colors.The red stands, which are as beautiful as the Manchester United jerseys on all sides, are the pride of Old Trafford.On the north stand, the words "MACHESTER UNITED" are made up of white seats, and on the east and west stands are the names of Manchester United's largest sponsors SHARP and UMBRO respectively.In addition to ordinary seats, there are family stands, private boxes, seats for away fans and special seats for the disabled.Each seat is perfectly arranged for a specific object.The family stand located in the southwestern corner of the stadium is only open to family members of club members or sightseeing groups organized by other clubs.Private boxes provide closed-circuit TV to play slow motion or replay shot shots, and are equipped with dedicated waiters.The handicapped stand is not only specially designed with convenient access passages and toilets, but also provides wheelchairs and earphones for the blind to listen to live commentary.
"Xu Zhou...Xu Zhou...Xu Zhou...Xu Zhou..." The shouts of more than 6 people were heard in the Old Trafford Stadium, and the voice was enough to shake the entire stadium.
Stepping on the turf of Old Trafford, Xu Zhou feels refreshed!Old Trafford has some of the best lawns in the world.The lawn, 116 yards long and 76 yards wide, is made of grass of four different colors.A kind of turf imported from the United States called Kentucky bluegrass is specially paved in the area near the goal, which is particularly resistant to trampling.The roofs of the four grandstands in the southeast and northwest are designed as transparent small squares to ensure that the lawn can get sufficient sunlight.The lawns are well tended and mowed 4 times a week from April to November and once a week from November to March.Usually, except for players and staff, it is strictly forbidden to enter the lawn.The away team can only warm up 11 hour earlier. 3 in-ground fountains keep the lawn well watered even in the dry season.All the water is continuously circulated in a 11-gallon storage tank under the East Stand.Miles of heated pipes are laid underground to quickly defrost in case of frost or snow.Also, the lawn has top-notch drainage, with the middle of the lawn 3 inches higher than the wings, and tiny plastic pipes that channel rainwater away.This ensures that the game does not have to be postponed even in bad weather.
Standing in the stadium, Xu Zhou looked around and waved to the fans in Old Trafford. There was a smile on his face, which made all the fans feel the joy of Xu Zhou.
The stadium is surrounded by four stands in the southeast, northwest and north.The South Stand, the oldest of these, houses the directors' offices, printing department and executive suites below.However, the two most distinctive scenery in the South Stand should be the Busby Statue and the Munich Clock.The hands of the high-hanging Munich clock will always stop at the heart-wrenching moment of 1958:2 on February 6, 8.After the crash, Sir Busby rebuilt Manchester United from the ashes.To commemorate his feats, the club put his statue here, Busby with his right hand on his hip, holding the ball in his left hand, staring ahead, as if silently praying for the future of the Red Devils.
On March 1900, 4000, Manchester United Chairman Edwards announced the completion of the renovation project of the majestic North Stand. The entire project cost 4500 million pounds, and a total of 25 tons of steel bars and 110 tons of cement supported this huge stand.Its seats have been increased to 31, and there are 1994 luxurious "sky boxes" on the top of the second floor of the three-level grandstand.In addition, the importance of the North Stand lies in the control center, studio and the famous Red Devils Cafe located at the top of its west corner.The East Stand was also rebuilt in the summer of 400. For the sake of safety, the distance between it and the lawn was pulled away, which inevitably made many fans feel a little regretful.To its left is a huge electronic scoreboard.Under the West Stand, an international standard auditorium was built in [-], which can accommodate [-] people at a time. It is specially used for holding banquets, weddings or celebrating the birthdays of stars.
Although there are so many fans pouring into the stadium, neither these fans nor the organizers are worried about any accidents.While Manchester United fans are some of the craziest in the world, Old Trafford's security system is one of the most advanced in the UK.The main control room is supported by red brackets and surrounded by glass curtain walls.The automatic door can recognize the identity of the staff and open.The 27 screens in the control room are respectively connected with cameras distributed at different angles inside and outside the venue.The camera of each monitor can be freely retracted to freeze and zoom in on any face in the audience.Additionally, security guards patrolling the sidelines are armed with binoculars, which are also linked to the surveillance system.Once a disturbance occurs in a certain area, the perpetrators can be easily traced by the staff.The intelligent computer system can control the speed of the flow of people in and out of the stadium, and can also automatically give plans for personnel arrangements.It will first classify the security level of away fans based on historical data. For example, fans of Liverpool and Leeds United are classified as Class C, which requires high security measures and a large number of police officers.Although the club has always advocated the use of fewer police officers in terms of staffing, it is necessary to ensure a certain number of police officers, because security guards do not have the power to arrest spectators at critical moments.There are three detention rooms under the control room, which are used to isolate men, women and children.Plus, a nursing team of twelve doctors and twelve nurses are spread out at specific locations on the pitch on matchdays, so much so that most of the nursing work is done before even entering the physiotherapy rooms.
So the fans were able to wildly cheer for Xu Zhou's arrival in the stands of Old Trafford, their mouths were wildly cheering, shouting Xu Zhou's name.At this time, Xu Zhou waved and questioned the fans step by step. It took him a long time to walk onto the rostrum.
On the stage, he stood next to the team's head coach Alex Ferguson, and the reporters below kept flashing spotlights on the two of them.At this time, the host immediately announced the official start of the joining ceremony.
First of all, Xu Zhou showed off his footwork on the court, juggling the ball, picking the ball, and tricks. Xu Zhou had a great time playing, and the audience watched with great enthusiasm.And at this moment, Xu Zhou suddenly volleyed sideways and slammed the ball into the stands.Next, Xu Zhou used a variety of footwork to blast the ball into the stands and gave it to Manchester United fans.
After the simple performance, it's time for the next stage of the ceremony.First, the chairman of the team went up to speak, and then the team's head coach Alex Ferguson went up to speak.
Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Xu Zhou's arrival will definitely enrich Manchester United's style of play. I believe in his strength. He will definitely become a new symbol of Manchester United!" Although Sir Alex Ferguson's speech was short, everyone could see that he valued and loved Xu Zhou.
Finally, the newly joined Xu Zhou stepped forward to speak.Facing such fans, Xu Zhou talked eloquently. At this time, he was no longer as nervous as when he just played: "Well, I am very honored to be able to join the powerful Manchester United team. I will use my strength and hard work to prove to everyone that I am qualified to stand here. Please believe me, we will bring you something different in the new season!"
As soon as the words fell, there was warm applause and cheers at Old Trafford. Manchester United fans have fallen in love with this handsome boy at this time, and they also hope that Xu Zhou can bring them Manchester United fans different excitement as he said!
Finally, it's time to reveal Xu Zhou's Manchester United jersey.After Xu Zhou joined Manchester United, before this joining ceremony, Manchester United and Xu Zhou have been avoiding talking about Xu Zhou's jersey number for the new season.By this time, it was finally time for the reveal.
Alex Ferguson took the jersey handed over by the staff, pulled it aside with Xu Zhou, and then showed Xu Zhou's new jersey in front of the fans. The big white "7" on the blood-red jersey indicated that Xu Zhou will wear the No. 7 jersey of Manchester United in the new season.
After that, Xu Zhou put Manchester United's No. 7 jersey on himself, and then he began to sign his name on 10 footballs and 7 jerseys, and then gave these Dongxie to the lucky audience present in a special way.
After the end of the gift-giving session, the ceremony of Xu Zhou joining Manchester United officially came to an end!
But the fans in the stands were reluctant to leave for a long time, and they felt it was a pity to end the joining ceremony like this.Therefore, they all gathered in the stadium and were unwilling to leave. The organizers saw the behavior of the fans and asked Xu Zhouduo to stay in the stadium for a while.During this period of time, Xu Zhou showed his excellent football skills to Manchester United fans, and then Xu Zhou took off his Manchester United No. 7 jersey and signed his name on it.
Xu Zhou wrapped the jersey with his name on it, and then, with a big foot, he blasted his fans and the football towards the stands of Old Trafford, and the fans in the stands were ecstatic to snatch the prizes presented by Xu Zhou.Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, the main board decided to send more gifts.So Xu Zhou acted as a gift ambassador at Old Trafford, giving gifts to lovely Manchester United fans.
After staying in the stadium for more than 40 minutes, Xu Zhou walked out of the Old Trafford Stadium. Many reporters surrounded him, wanting to interview Xu Zhou.But they were all rejected by Xu Zhou. At this time, he was really tired and wanted to go back to rest, so he left Old Trafford directly.
The fans of Manchester United also left Old Trafford with a smile on their face. They are full of expectations for Manchester United in the new season! !
