Vol 2 Chapter 429: This is Anfield (middle)

The Tubingen people who came to Liverpool two days in advance, settled into the hotel low-key, adapted the venue under the arrangement of UEFA, and passed the Shankli gate with a pilgrimage mood, and took a picture of the famous slogan.
Liverpool football team was founded in 1892, Tubingen youth was founded in 2000, the difference between the two teams is 108 years! No matter what achievements the youth of Tubingen have achieved, they have put down their pride in this stadium that echoed with centuries of applause.
Even Liverpool is in the low tide!
Anfield Stadium is different from other world-renowned stadiums in that it has chosen a rare boxy shape. This is directly related to the fact that Liverpool's most avid fans are from the working class. This industrially developed city has a strong character and an industrial beauty. The founder's appearance is precisely the aesthetic characteristics of the city. Therefore, after many expansions, its tough shape has been preserved.
This toughness is also reflected in the support of enthusiastic fans for the team. Especially the enthusiastic KOFs, their income level could not buy the best tickets in the beginning, they could only stand in the cheap area behind the goal to applaud the team, and gradually became their holy place. At its peak, more than 20,000 fans can stand. At that time, the stands did not have a ceiling. Whether it was severe winter or hot weather, rain or snow was sunny, they were there to cheer the fans. After they were all converted into seats, they could hardly sit still. Not to mention sitting and standing among the crowd with flags waving, arms waving, and banners holding high, it was almost impossible to see the entire game. This is hard for anyone who hasn't watched the game before, as TV broadcasts are used to the best perspective of the main stand. And at the scene, standing behind the goal, in an extremely noisy crowd, but also facing a field of vision divided by the flags, arms, and banners. It is really not an avid fan. The viewing experience is very bad. Fanatic fans basically don't care about the team's skills and tactics. Whether the cooperation is good-looking or not, they just shout, shout, and shout the loudest when the goal is scored, even if the task is completed.
In other words, in addition to singing, all their strength is just for the moment of scoring, shouting "Good!"
So this is really a cultural belief. Interestingly, this is often the case for the most avid fans of world-renowned teams, and their income is not high, so they gather in the stands that are not good sights. This is the case with the Milan twins, Manchester United, and Bayern. Even the Real Madrid ’s Meringues are standing in the south stands behind the goal and waving their handkerchiefs. The only exception is Camp Nou. Their avid fans are standing in the southwest stands. , Which is the stand opposite the main stand.
With the two tragedies of the fans, Liverpool team fell into a low tide, but because of the common grief of the club and fans, forged a closer relationship. Especially after the 1985 Haiser tragedy, all British teams involved in Liverpool were unable to participate in the European game for a full five years, and there was only a more united way in the abuse of all British fans. In the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, dozens of KOFs died unexpectedly because of the unsuccessful organization of the game, but they must bear the charges of the tragic makers for decades. The grievances and grievances haunted the Liverpool club players and fans To promote them closer together.
It is because of these complicated historical cases that Anfield is so attractive. For the fans here, the football team is not only a victory and defeat, but also a belief and a heritage, part of the city's cultural charm.
Tribulation has always been an external cause of unity.
After the Tubingen youth came to Liverpool, several Chinese players who paid much attention to this game also arrived one after another.
The first person who arrived was Li Tie! Not only because he and Wang Ai, the youth of Tubingen, knew each other for the earliest. They have known each other for six years. Well, six years is not long, but how old is Wang Ai? The first stupid cup was the earliest regular competition that Wang Ai participated in. At that time, Li Tie, who was on vacation at home, went to watch the game and invited Zhang again. Although Li Tie wasn't a guide to Wang Ai's football path and didn't help him much, it seems to be the first person in the relationship between Wang Ai and Liaozu. At the same time, Li Tie and Bai Guanghai, Luo Tongliang, and Zhang Yonghai of the Tubingen team all grew up together, and they are Chen Yang's "enemy of life", even if Qu Bo is also a teammate of the national team.
Of course, the main thing is that Li Tie is close. His Goodison Park Plaza and Anfield Stadium are across the street. If he didn't come first, Lao Bai would have to come to the street and scold him.
Now the old white is the best mixed player of their generation. Just ask you the top spot in the UEFA Cup shooters. Are you convinced? I didn't have the guts in my early years.
Fortunately, Li Tie took the initiative to call Wang Ai after hearing the news. When Tubingen's team landed at Liverpool Airport, it was still Li Tie.
A group of teammates met with emotion ... Li Tie first gave Lai Bai a kick, and then the two began to wrestle in place.
Don't think too much about it, these wild kids who play football, do you expect them to reunite for a long time to memorize each other's poems? After tearing for a long time, all the airport guards came over before they were considered to be down.
The first six of the group were from Liao Shen, five were teammates of the Liaozu Youth Team of Zhang Yin that year, and the age difference between them was less than three years old. Together, they spent childhood, adolescence and youth together, and happened by chance in a foreign country. Meet, especially close.
"Whoo, I said, Xiaobai, how did you train your physique? Okay, it was like a hemp. Now you look at your body again, wow! Did you go to play football or practice bodybuilding? Li Tie panted, leaning against Luo Tongliang, a picture of an asthma attack.?
"The body is the capital of playing football!" Lao Bai laughed loudly, extremely heroic.
That night, Li Tie went to the hotel where the youth of Tubingen were staying and had a small gathering with everyone. It's not that he doesn't want to treat guests, but he can't afford it! British food is certainly not expensive for him, but many people can't stand it! Can't one of the buddies be the first? There are only five of them. Wang Ai can't help it? Qu Bo can't help but? Can't Mr. Xu fall? That's seven. What about the remaining players? Co-author you alone to invite the Chinese? Not to mention that the Tubingen club can't agree to such a small gang, how are you, the Premier League star, sorry? If you want to invite the whole team, you have to hold a PARTY, and this level of PARTY is not a domestic stall together for a big stall. Two small barbecues can be done. Spending 10,000 pounds is nothing. So Li Tie calculates his annual salary of 200,000 pounds ... it's better to go to your hotel to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
The second one was Fan Zhiyi.
