On May 21, the 2007/08 Champions League final was taking place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the capital of Russia.
There was some commotion in one of the stands at the stadium.
Just now, in the 21st minute of the game, Scholes fouled when intercepting Makelele. The two sides argued with each other. Scholes and Makelele both received yellow cards, and Scholes' nose was broken. But he continued to play after receiving treatment.
When the game was paused, the director on the big screen kept scanning the camera to the stands.
However, by coincidence, a man and a woman appeared in the camera. The man was wearing ordinary polo short-sleeves, while the woman was wearing a red Manchester United jersey.
This was originally supposed to be just an ordinary couple of Manchester United fans, but when the camera showed these two people, a text prompt was actually given below.
"George Lee"
Obviously, George Li and Helen have not been targeted by the director for a while, otherwise it would be impossible to give a prompt below as soon as George Li appears in the camera.
"I told you a long time ago, don't wear the Manchester United jersey."
George Li spoke to Helen in his ear, but the latter obviously didn't care.
Just now, after the camera showed the two of them, the Manchester United fans who noticed the situation came over to hug and shake hands with George Lee several times, and even the fat guy next to him had already hooked up with George Lee. This scene would never have been possible at other times. After all, no head coach would cheer for the rival team.
"How about I just support Manchester United." Helen glanced at her boyfriend and found that although the other man's expression did not change, she realized the problem of what she just said and immediately corrected it, "At least today I support Manchester United."
"I don't know what's good about this old man. You admire him so much... No, no, no, I don't have the idea of coaching Manchester United for the time being. I will come over to watch the game."
Obviously, the first half of the sentence George Li said was to Helen, and the second half of the sentence was to answer the Manchester United fans beside him.
"Sir Alex Ferguson looks very kind to others, like a kind old grandfather."
"Do you think he's Santa Claus?"
"Maybe." Helen pointed to the clothes on her body and said, "The one I'm wearing is the latest Manchester United jersey he sent me last Christmas."
"This old man is really..."
George Li was about to complain about Ferguson, but the changes on the field attracted his attention and stopped the conversation between him and Helen.
On the court, Manchester United's Brown got rid of Lampard next to him after cooperating with Scholes on the right, and started to pass from the wing. Essien in the penalty area actually made a marking error and missed Ronaldinho at the back point. The Portuguese took off and scored with a header from 10 yards away.
After seeing the goal, Helen jumped up excitedly with other Manchester United fans and started shouting.
Helen was excited for nearly three minutes. After the game restarted, Helen gradually calmed down.
"That No. 7 of Manchester United looks really amazing, he jumps so high." Helen said to George Li.
"He has always been very good, and he is getting better every season." George Li said softly, as if he was speaking to Helen, but also to himself.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing. I said that No. 7 is very powerful."
"Do you know why I have to come to this game with you?"
"Yes, tell me." George Li was also curious. He obviously wanted to watch the European Cup this summer with Helen, but Helen took the initiative to say that she wanted to watch the Champions League final with George Li. .
For this competition, Helen also asked for a few days off from school.
"Did you know that every time you played in the FA Cup, UEFA Cup, and Europa League finals, Sir Alex Ferguson would come to watch your game. It was a coincidence that I could see him near my seat every time. He is like a father who sees his son becoming successful, with infinite pride in his eyes."
"Really?" George Li knew that Ferguson had been present in several of his cup finals. But he didn't know what kind of state Ferguson was on the sidelines, and whether it was really what Helen said.
"I think Sir Alex Ferguson may not be able to stay in this position for a few more years. He may really want you to take over."
"Haha." George Li smiled and said, "You know, this is impossible."
"So, I hope you can come and watch his finals, after all, there are not many opportunities like this. Maybe one day you can lead the team to the Champions League finals, and he will still be watching you from the stands. However, You don’t have many opportunities to watch him from the stands.”
"If I can lead the team to the Champions League final, I will definitely..."
George Li's words were once again interrupted by the ongoing game.
Drogba passed the ball back in the melee in the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Ballack shot from 25 yards, and then the shot went over the crossbar.
This shot was also Chelsea's first shot of the game. Although the game between the two teams was fierce today, they had very few shots. Manchester United's first shot was in the 26th minute, and Chelsea's first shot was in the 28th minute. The only difference is that Manchester United scored on the first shot, while Chelsea did not.
"What did you want to say just now?"
"I want to say that if I can win the Champions League, I will call you to the field after the awards and propose to you in front of all the viewers around the world."
"Wow~" Helen immediately covered her mouth, not believing that her boyfriend would say that.
As the relationship between the two deepened, it was almost time to talk about marriage, otherwise Helen's brother Charlotte Black would rush in front of her sister.
"I'm serious." Seemingly seeing Helen's disbelief, George Li repeated it again.
"perhaps......"
"Maybe what?" George Li felt that Helen did not agree with this approach and seemed to have something to say.
"Perhaps, I think as long as you reach the Champions League final, whether you win or not, you can propose to me."
"Huh?" This time, George Li looked at Helen with surprised eyes. He waited for Helen to give him an answer.
Helen did not let George Li wait, and directly expressed her own thoughts.
"If you can win the championship, this would be the best. I will not refuse your invitation anymore. I can come to the venue to accept your proposal."
As she spoke, Helen clasped her hands together and put them on her chest, as if thinking about the situation at that time.
After thinking for a while, Helen continued: "But if, I mean if you fail to win the championship, I hope you can also calm down and explain to the players, then come to a quiet corner of the stadium and tell me Proposal."
"this......"
Just when George Li was about to say something, Helen immediately blocked his mouth with his hand, indicating that he should listen to Helen.
"In this case, you will still gain something on the day you lose the game. This may be the only thing I can do to comfort you."
Hearing what Helen said, George Li was speechless for a moment. He could only look at Helen blankly.
The game was still exciting, but after the game, George Li lost interest in the game. Most of the time, he looked at the court in concentration, unlike Helen, who sometimes shouted and sometimes covered his mouth as the game progressed.
Until the end of overtime, when the two teams entered the most tense penalty shootout, Li George returned his attention to the court.
In the seventh round of the penalty shootout, after Edwin van der Sar saved Anelka's penalty kick, all the Manchester United fans began to celebrate wildly.
But Helen arched George Li next to her.
"It's time to go. Sir Alex Ferguson never watches the awards after you win."
Helen took the initiative to hold George Li's arm, and the two passed through the crowd of celebrating Manchester United fans and began to leave the field first.
