On August 6, there was a huge wave of red outside the new Wembley Stadium.
These reds do not represent Manchester United. When the camera moves behind the red, it is discovered that the originally rushing blood has turned into whitecaps one after another at some point.
This is a batch of clothing specially ordered by some speculative merchants from the factory after the end of last season. They are red in the front and white in the back, white on the left and red on the right, and white on the inside and red on the outside. The target market is directly in China.
The combination of red and white matches the two sets of uniforms of the Chinese national team. Not only that, white also represents "Tottenham" and red represents "Manchester United".
Li Tie and Sun Jihai had similar outfits when they joined Everton and Manchester City, but they were never kicked out, so the speculation basically ended in failure.
This time, Manchester United and Tottenham have already decided to meet in the Community Shield for the new season. The Chinese team has won the Asian Cup again. Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo also tied for the top scorer's golden boot. Among such gimmicks, this red and white outfit It sold out immediately upon release.
When the clothes were shipped to China, some dealers who sensed business opportunities even found Yiwu factories to make them themselves, and also showed the Manchester United logo on the red and the Tottenham team logo on the white. Especially the uniforms with white on the left and red on the right, showing off a combination of the team emblems of both sides on the chest.
Ask Chinese fans on the street which Premier League team they support, and they will have only one answer: I support any team with Chinese people in it!
Manchester United's influence around the world has been accumulated over hundreds of years, but Wang Xiaodong used one season to single-handedly reverse the situation, making domestic support for Tottenham equal to that of Manchester United. Such ability and The courage moved many football critics.
After the Asian Cup, Chinese fans have a new idol besides Wang Xiaodong. So much so that many football commentators have threatened that more and more Chinese players will appear in mainstream European competitions.
Wang Xiaodong is already very familiar with Wembley, as he came here for the FA Cup last year.
Looking at Manchester United warming up in the opposite half, Wang Xiaodong showed no fear in his eyes.
What about the Premier League title?
We are still the Triple Crown Champions!
Don’t forget how we were defeated in the FA Cup. The days of red dominating the Premier League will be gone forever!
This is the source of all Bai Baihe's confidence.
During the warm-up before the game, Wang Xiaodong, Xiao Luo and Lu Xiaopang just looked at each other and nodded without much communication in order to avoid suspicion.
On the contrary, Dong Fangzhuo, who got the first start, hugged Wang Xiaodong as soon as he walked out of the tunnel.
"Xiaodong, thank you." Dong Fangzhuo smiled from ear to ear as soon as he met him. "Thanks to you, I now experience the treatment of a football star!"
"Tsk, tsk, old Dong, how does it feel to be a celebrity?"
"What celebrity? That's a personal name!" Dong Fangzhuo was not proud, "Xiaodong, to be honest, we, the overseas players, really have to thank you. You know, two days ago, I heard that my father wanted to go to China to recruit Where's the little star? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that this Asian Cup has left a lot of good impressions on him, and dad is constantly thinking about helping Manchester United find a player as good as you before he retires."
"Oh? That's a good thing." Wang Xiaodong scratched his head, "But I've never heard of such news."
"Hahahaha, are you kidding me? It's enough for Tottenham to have you, so what new players do they need?" Dong Fangzhuo laughed.
"By the way, old director, have you forgotten what I mentioned to you the day before yesterday?"
"I haven't forgotten it!" Dong Fangzhuo shook his head quickly, "It has been prepared for a long time!"
"That's OK!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they opened their jerseys together in front of the nearest camera.
"Hey, Xiaodong and Xiaodong are..."
In the studio, Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun happened to see the big words on their shirts through the live broadcast.
Wang Xiaodong's shirt reads: "Happy wedding to Giant Yao!"
Dong Fangzhuo's shirt reads: "I wish Ye Giant a hundred years of happy marriage!"
"Friends from the audience, this is the congratulations given by Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo to the wedding ceremony of Juju Yao and Ju Ju Ye."
"In Shangri-La today, Giant Yao and Giant Ye are holding a wedding ceremony!" Huang Jianxiang explained with a smile.
At this time, nearly a hundred reporters from all over the country gathered outside the Shangri-La Hotel, including many foreign reporters.
But Giant Yao has already booked the entire 32nd floor of the hotel and hired many security guards to maintain order, causing many reporters who wanted to fish in troubled waters a huge headache.
However, as "outstanding representatives of Chinese competitive sports", Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo are now catching up with sports greats like Yao Juju and Liu Feiren in popularity.
The two had just won the Asian Cup, and if they wanted to attend the wedding, Giant Yao Ye would still sell their face.
But there was no way, the community shield and their wedding had a collision, Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo could only express their blessings to the newlyweds in this way.
Shortly after the two made their appearance, a staff member told Yao Juli, who was preparing to get married on stage, about the incident.
"Haha, let me thank these two guys." Yao Juju smiled shyly after hearing the news. As a sports person, although he has never met, he has known each other for a long time. "When they get married, I will definitely Go and return the favor.”
...
The Community Shield is a very special event, between a commercial match and an exhibition match. Each team can have six substitutes. It doesn't really matter whether we win or not. The main thing is to play well and get a good start to the new Premier League season.
For both teams, being able to play against the strong teams from last season at the beginning of the season is also a very good training opportunity.
Especially since both teams have new blood injected into them, it is a rare opportunity to train with opponents of this level.
Although Manchester United was successful last season, they only won the league championship. Although Tottenham won the Triple Crown, any single championship seems to be lower than the league championship.
So Danny Levi gave Martin Joel a death order to win a league championship this season no matter what.
If they can beat Manchester United before winning the championship, it will definitely be a good sign for Tottenham.
So after the start of the game, Tottenham gave their opponents no breathing space.
"Berbatov passes back..."
"Wang Xiaodong!"
"Cum straight away!"
Wow~~~
There were gasps at the new Wembley Stadium.
After the ball flew more than fifty meters away, it landed firmly in the hands of Van der Sar.
Everyone knows that such a shot is nothing to the Dutch veteran, but when he sees the ball flying in the air, he still can't help but feel more expectant.
"Wang Xiaodong!"
"As expected of Wang Xiaodong!"
"Within five seconds of play, we almost broke through Manchester United's goal."
Zhan Jun on the side rolled his eyes at his partner, curled his lips, and muttered in his heart: "You damn fool!"
