Manchester's overseas derby canceled! !
As soon as this news came out, it caused a shock!
As soon as the news came out, many fans questioned and could not understand the reason for the cancellation of the game.Because at noon today, the sky in BJ is still clear.When Leshi released the news, many fans had already gathered outside the Bird's Nest, and many of them came to BJ from other places or even abroad.
Regarding the reason for the cancellation of the event, Leshi Sports replied to the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that: Under the recent extremely bad weather conditions in BJ, the turf condition of the venue is not suitable for the game. In order to protect the safety of the players, all parties have canceled the game decision.
The International Champions Cup is a commercial event. Every year, influential teams from the five major leagues are invited to various places to hold pre-season warm-up matches.As the Chinese operator behind the event, Leshi Sports successfully operated the first International Champions Cup China last year.However, the match between Manchester United and Manchester City was suddenly canceled, and the reason for the "weather and venue" it claimed was questioned by fans.
Although it rained heavily in BJ a few days ago, the weather in BJ has been sunny for four consecutive days, and it hasn't rained anymore.
Could it be that the drainage facilities of the International Stadium are so poor in four days?
".Since 2010, the Bird's Nest has started to arrange the replacement of the original "modular mobile lawn" structure (ITM system for short) and the planted cool-season grass. In the early spring and early winter events, the box of the mobile lawn needs to be fully repaired and partially replaced to ensure the level of the field. Moreover, as a national stadium, the annual maintenance cost of the Bird’s Nest is as high as 1.9 million yuan. The operator of the “Bird’s Nest” is state-owned in BJ City Li Aiqing, chairman of the Asset Management Co., Ltd., mentioned in an interview: "If you don't do anything for a year, as long as you open the door, it will cost 1 million yuan. The cost of water, electricity, heat, maintenance, and depreciation of fixed assets will cost you 1.9 million yuan a year. The expenditure will be more than [-] million yuan." Then, why is it difficult to satisfy even a football game with so much money to maintain the turf?" "Sports Weekly" questioned in the report.
"Those who come to Beijing from other places must consider that they should also be compensated for transportation, accommodation and meals. There are fans who come from Kunming, and they can understand their pain. This is not the weekend, this is Monday and they have to ask for leave to come to BJ. Everyone Football and sports hobbies are the same, and we should give everyone some compensation and comfort. Not only should you be able to refund tickets, you should defend your own rights and make real demands.” Some media people suggested that fans go to Defend your own interests.
In fact, when Leshi Sports released the news, many fans had already gathered outside the Bird's Nest.Many of them came to BJ from other places or even abroad.
Ah Fa from Nanning, Guangxi is one of them.
At this point he was one of the overwhelmed Manchester United fans outside the Bird's Nest Stadium.
As a college student, he doesn't have much money himself, and the 500-odd yuan ticket alone has almost cost him half a month's living expenses.
Then there is the train fare from Nanning to BJ—ordinary train. He needs to take the train from Nanning to Guangzhou, and then change trains in Guangzhou. After 32 hours of travel, he arrives at BJ before the start of the game.
In order to save the cost of accommodation, he even stayed with his friends at the 24-hour Golden Arches for a night.
After hard work and frugality, just to watch the game of his home team on the spot.
However, when they arrived at the Bird's Nest early in the morning and waited for nearly a day near the Bird's Nest Stadium, Leshi Sports suddenly announced that the game was cancelled!
How can they accept it.
Now they hadn't thought about the issue of refunding tickets and compensation. At this time, some of Ah Fa's friends who accompanied him began to sob softly.
If it was the excitement of seeing the home team that supported them before, then now, after more than 30 hours of travel, the sudden announcement of the cancellation of the game made them feel physically and mentally exhausted very quickly.
Afa was sitting on the steps in front of the gate of the stadium. At this gate, there were many fans wearing Manchester United jerseys like them, and there were also many Manchester City fans.It's just that everyone had the same expression before, confused and frustrated.
Ah Fa did not cry, he was very unwilling.
For this trip, he has been planning for several months. Since a few months ago, he has started to save part of his little living expenses, and found a part-time job outside the school, and finally saved enough travel expenses and tickets money.
But now, his months of hard work are in vain, and he has not even seen the Manchester United players.
It's like one giant April Fool's joke.
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun slanted from the southwest side of the Bird's Nest Stadium. The dazzling sunlight reminded Afa of Leshi Sports' announcement.
"Because of the weather."
Ah Fa struggled to open his eyes, looking at the dazzling sunlight.It's like watching an absurd drama, but the protagonist is him.
Everyone is the protagonist of their own life.
The protagonist Afa slapped the stainless steel hollow railing next to the steps!
"I can't just leave it like that!!!"
The Manchester United fans who came to BJ with him all looked up at him. Ah Fa is the organizer of this Manchester United fans squad.
"Let's go to the team's hotel!! We can't watch the game anymore, we must see the team!!!"
When Afa brought his friends and some Manchester United fans who spontaneously followed them to the hotel where Manchester United stayed, they found that hundreds of Manchester United fans had the same thoughts as them.
Fans gathered at the entrance of the hotel, chanting slogans. Although most of the fans looked depressed, their emotions were fairly stable, while some fans were very emotional, and asked to see the team, and expressed concern about LeTV's event organization. operations questioned.
Li Qingshan stood on the window of the room, watching more and more fans gathered in front of the hotel.
His expression was very serious, and the hand holding the curtain became tighter and tighter. Finally, he let go of the curtain abruptly, turned around and walked towards the door.
"What are you going to do, Lee?!"
Lingard asked.
"Do what I should do." Li Qingshan didn't look back.
It didn't take long for Lingard to figure out what the "should be done".
He looked from the window and saw Li Qingshan appearing in front of the fans. He seemed to say something, and the emotional fans quickly calmed down.
Then he signed autographs for the fans one by one to meet the requirements of the fans for a group photo.
It seems that a questioning protest turned into an open fan meeting with the intervention of Li Qingshan.
A farce ended like this for Manchester United. Manchester United took the plane that night and returned to Manchester.
And this farce is left to the Chinese football world, but it is just a feather in the ground.
