Chapter 615： The curtain call of 1 era

When Chu Ge returned to Manchester with his Manchester United teammates, bringing a freshly baked Europa trophy, he was greeted by fans all over the city.

The whole Manchester airport is full of people.

Manchester City even dispatched a large number of police to maintain order. Police cars drove all the way to **** the players into the city.

Four days ago, when Manchester United won the league title, they did not have a large celebration.

At that time, the team also needed to prepare for the Europa League final.

That was their last game of the season.

Now they have defeated Ajax.

They are back.

With victory.

With a trophy.

"This is a moment of celebration!"

In Manchester Albert Square, facing the tens of thousands of fans, Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham personally held a celebration ceremony.

His words opened the prologue of the Manchester United fan carnival.

Albert Square is the heart of Manchester, located between Deansgate St and Mosley St. It is named in honor of Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.

Here witnessed countless glorious historical moments.

Now, the Mayor of Manchester City has witnessed the resurgence of Manchester United.

Andy Burnham watched the cheering people orderly leave Albert Square and marched towards Old Trafford Stadium.

He let out a heavy relief and let out a breath.

Not long ago.

There was a very bad terrorist attack in Manchester.

American singer Ariana Grande held a concert at Manchester Stadium. When the concert ended, a group of thugs detonated a bomb in the stadium and launched a suicide hope. The explosion killed 22 people and injured 59 people, causing great trauma to the people of Manchester.

People are suffering for this.

And at this time, Manchester United's championship, especially in the league and the European Championship double-line championship, undoubtedly diverted people's attention to the greatest extent, helping them get out of the sad mood.

Life itself is not happy.

Is sometimes very painful.

But fortunately, people can choose to face life with optimism and face those sufferings.

"A championship celebration will not save the lives lost in the disaster, but it can heal the pain and make the survivors face tomorrow."

"I hope they can be happy at least this evening."

Mayor silently blessed his people.

Looking at the happy fans, he couldn't help but think of a player in Manchester United.

A very special player.

After the explosion, the senior leaders of his country expressed condolences to England for the first time.

And the player used his four goals in four days to make two heavy trophies stay in this troubled city.

"The people of Manchester and I should thank you."

The mayor looked at Old Trafford.

……

Chu Ge and his teammates got on the bus specially prepared for the championship celebration.

The bus drove towards Old Trafford.

Both sides of the road are Manchester United fans in red.

The fans sang songs and happily marched towards Old Trafford with the bus.

Chu Ge and his teammates stood on the roof of the car.

Looking at the happy fans, Chu Ge showed a happy smile.

This is not your first time to participate in the championship celebration.

last year.

In Madrid, the capital of Spain.

He and his teammates once went to the Harvest Plaza to celebrate the team's eleventh Champions League trophy and the league championship.

The scene at that time was very similar to the present.

Despite the different fan groups, the happy smiles of the fans are exactly the same.

Chu Ge looked around.

The fans wore Manchester United's home jersey, and the world in front of him was all overwhelmingly red.

Is full of red.

The whole city in red.

In a trance, it seems that Chu Ge did not see Manchester United's championship celebration, but the scene he saw when he was five years old, sitting on his father's shoulders.

Red flag exhibition.

Full city carols.

……

"Chu, what are you thinking about?"

Rooney patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Chu Ge rubbed his eyes.

He smiled at Rooney and shook his head, "No, I didn't think about anything."

"Haha!" Rooney didn't care. He put the Premier League trophy on Chu Ge's hands. "It's your turn. The fans are calling your name! Hold the trophy up! Now is the time for joy ! "

Chu Ge laughed.

He took the trophy and lifted it toward the fans on both sides of the bus.

"Viva Chuge! Viva Chuge!"

The fans immediately applauded.

They shouted Chu Ge's name and offered him singing.

Cheers immediately surrounded Chu Ge.

Such a happy taste is intoxicating.

After enjoying cheering for a while, Chu Ge passed the trophy to De Gea, then he walked aside from the roof of the car and sat beside Rooney.

"Thank you. Chu!"

Seeing Chu Ge coming, Rooney punched Chu Ge's chest with a small punch.

He actively embraced Chu Ge.

"Say thanks to me. We are a team." Chu Ge disagreed.

Rooney pointed to the captain's armband on his arm. "I'm talking about this. You didn't have to return the captain's armband to me."

Chu Ge smiled, "This is yours, Wayne (Rooney). I just keep it temporarily. If you play in the game, you should have worn the armband. You are our captain."

"But I didn't play, did I?" Rooney also smiled.

Seeing Chu Ge want to speak, Rooney gestured to let him finish first.

"Now, the captain of Manchester United is me, and you. And this," Rooney pointed to the armband of the captain on his arm, and to the badge on the left chest of the jersey. "After all, it belongs to you."

"I am very lucky, and my Manchester United will also be lucky. You will be a good captain, a best captain."

Rooney stared at Chu Ge and looked at Chu Ge very sincerely.

His words came from his heart.

There is no slight hypocrisy.

Chu Ge was also watching Rooney, "Wayne, did you really decide? Are you really going to leave here next season? You know we all like you, including the fans here, and all support you."

Chu Ge pointed to himself, and to the fans singing outside the bus.

He tried to persuade the old captain to stay.

Rooney shook his head with a smile.

He patted Chu Ge on the shoulder.

"My mission has been completed, and it is time to finally leave."

"People cannot stay in the same place all my life, and I have stayed here long enough. I have seen Ronaldo's departure, Neville's departure, and Giggs, Fletcher, Van Persie, etc. Leave, and now, it is finally time I should leave. "

"To be honest, I never thought that when I left the city, I could still take the honor of the league champion and the Europa League champion and complete my curtain call at Manchester United as a winner."

"This is a perfect HE, isn't it?"

"I am very contented."

"I am able to end everything here in such a perfect gesture. I haven't thanked you yet. At the beginning of this season, I never dreamed that when the season ends, I can still win three championship trophies. It is you, let I had a fantastic season. "

Rooney couldn't help but hug Chu Ge again.

He likes this young man so much.

"If I were young, if time could go back ten years, I was Ronaldo on the left, and he was on the right. The boss is really healthy, how wonderful it is. The three of us must be able to start a career."

"It's a pity that the years are not forgiving."

Rooney couldn't help thinking, but couldn't help shaking his head.

Rolling water in the east of the Yangtze River,

Time is the most ruthless.

"One league champion, one UEFA champion, are you satisfied? You think it is the perfect curtain call? What if we win the league again next season? What if we win the Champions League next season?"

"Wayne, stay here. We can create more miracles."

Chu Ge tried to persuade the old captain to stay in the team.

Rooney laughed.

"Young people really dare to imagine more than me." He patted Chu Ge on the shoulder.

"We can indeed participate in the UEFA Champions League next season. However, the UEFA Champions League can be different from the Europa League, it is much more difficult, and it is not at a level. In the UEFA Champions League, the participating teams are championship teams from various leagues. . There are indeed some teams that are not as strong as the opponents we met in the Europa League, but the average level is far more than the Europa League. "

"Especially such super teams as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, etc. ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It is not a team in the European Union that can be compared."

"It is undoubtedly ambitious to have a heart to make a difference in the Champions League, or even want to win the championship. However, things have to be done little by little, and the championship team cannot be built in a day or two. And I, already It's the final stage of his career. "

"I have won the Champions League trophy here. I know what kind of happiness it is. However, I shouldn't have waited for the day when I won the Champions League again."

"Chu, I hope you can achieve this goal as soon as possible. With my Manchester United."

Chu Ge also wanted to persuade.

But it is clear that Rooney has already decided.

He has even contacted the team that will play next season.

Proud people like him, sitting on the bench to win a championship is enough. He hopes to be able to return to the place where the dream started and re-enjoy the joy of being an indispensable role for the team.

Chu Ge couldn't convince him, so he had to give up.

……

The bus stopped at Old Trafford.

Chu Ge insisted not on the captain's armband, Rooney smiled and accepted generously.

At Old Trafford Stadium, at the Dream Theater, Rooney last time as the captain of Manchester United, held high the Premier League and the Europa League, as well as the previous League Cup championship trophy.

The salute roared.

The audience cheered.

Chu Ge stood behind Rooney.

Witness the curtain call of an era.

This night belongs to Manchester United and their fans.
