The reporters returned in vain, and the six reporters who came returned to the same hotel. After all, they were trained by the same organization, but they just worked for different newspapers, so the later organizations simply booked the hotel together.
After they each returned to their rooms and reported to their leaders, they waited for replies and assigned tasks from above.
After reporting to the superiors, several reporters made an appointment to experience Western civilization. It was not easy for them to Europe. How could we not experience civilization?
It's just that... they were strolling around and came to Longsight in South Manchester, which is basically an immigrant residential area. Several reporters habitually brought their cameras with them, wanting to take some civilized photos to show off.
However, their behavior was quickly discovered. When they were relaxing and taking pictures, four or five motorcycles suddenly rushed over. Then a group of people jumped off and without saying a word, surrounded the six people and started grabbing things.
A reporter shouted, "Good people, we are good people, why are you robbing us?"
A reporter shouted, "We are here to experience civilization, don't rob us, this is not civilized behavior."
Some reporters were shouting, "We will call the police, we remember your appearance."
"Ah, ah, ah... Help... Help... Help..."
Next, the six people were severely beaten, and then all their money and belongings were robbed. One of the reporters had a piece of clothing stripped off because it was the latest T-shirt from Givenchy.
After the robbers ran away, several people kept asking passers-by for help, "Help... Help..."
However, the matter was not over yet. Because one of them had his clothes taken off, his white and fat body raised in China made the eyes of a group of South Asian immigrants shine. Then after a group of people smiled scornfully, they immediately waved their hands, and twenty or thirty South Asian immigrants came, and then drove six people into the alley next to it.
"Ah, no, please, no..."
"Ah, why? This is a lighthouse, the birthplace of civilization..."
"Yeah, this is civilization, I feel the power of civilization!"
"..."
Then an enthusiastic China immigrant called the police and notified the embassy, and then the matter was exposed.
The domestic news headlines the next day were not about Zhang Kuang, but about six China reporters who were robbed at the United Kingdom and turned around by South Asian immigrants.
Isn't it so terrible that all the people in the country have their outlook completely destroyed? Doesn't it mean that there is still civilization there?
Especially the video provided by enthusiastic people, in which six journalists shouted, 'We are good citizens' and 'We are here to experience civilization'... Despite this, they were beaten, robbed, and then driven into an alley by twenty or thirty South Asian immigrants...
"Fuck, destroying the three views, destroying the three views, this is too crazy, isn't it? How could this be possible? Isn't United Kingdom the birthplace of civilization? How could it be like this?"
"Is there something abnormal about this? Is it possible that the civilization you think is still what those people described in "The Republic"?"
"Did someone deliberately harm these six people?"
"You have a bit of a conspiracy theory. Didn't you watch the news? These six people walked out of the hotel by themselves and came here to take pictures, and then they were targeted by the local gangs."
"Gangsters? Why are there still gangs? Are there still gangs in developed countries?"
"Fuck, friend, you don't know that except for a few countries like China, North Korea, etc., there are no gangs in the world. Other countries have them, and their gangs are legal. Isn't this your first day knowing this world?"
"Huh? Gangsters are also part of civilization?"
"Yes, I heard that brothels, gangs, gambling, human trafficking, cults... are all part of Western civilization, and of course the so-called capitalists control the government."
"..."
This matter is not over yet, and there is still more to eat, but we can't delve into it any further. After all, football is the main line, and talking too much about anything else will get sidetracked.
August 2, Carrington Training Ground.
Ferguson stood in front of the office window, looking at the figures running on the training ground outside the window.
Zhang Kuang was doing a two-on-two confrontation exercise with Rooney. He crossed the opponent's crotch twice in a row, making Evans, who was guarding him, stamp his feet in anger.
Phelan opened the door and came in. "BOSS, Gill has new information over there."
Ferguson turned around. "Levy agree?"
Phelan shook his head. "I still don't agree. They want 42 million pounds, which is almost 48 million euros. This price is too much higher than Transfermarkt's worth. Transfermarkt previously gave 28 million euros, but now it has been adjusted to 33 million euros."
Ferguson snorted coldly from the corner of his mouth, sat back on the chair, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Greedy Levy, damn it, is there any other suitable candidate?"
Phelan shook his head, said nothing, and just sighed.
Ferguson: "Let's look first and see how much Pogba's child can grow this summer. After Zhang Kuang's guidance, this child has grown a lot recently."
Phelan: "But he is still far from becoming a true core midfielder, right?"
Ferguson: "Yeah, so let's swap him with Anderson. Anderson has had too many injuries this year and his weight is out of control. The technical characteristics of Pogba and his have some overlap. They are both attacking midfielders and like to dribble forward and shoot from long range."
Phelan: "Okay, then we will strengthen the training for Pogba, mainly to practice his defense and teamwork."
Ferguson:"Well, let's do it."
August 7, Wembley Stadium.
Before the game, Wembley was enveloped in a special atmosphere.
There was a fine drizzle in the sky, and the rainwater hit the turf of the stadium, giving it a slight reflection.
But the noise of more than 77,000 fans raised the air temperature several degrees.
The upper half of the stands is a red sea of Manchester United, and the lower half is a blue wave of Chelsea.
The two colors faced each other under the dome of Wembley, the flags were fluttering in the drizzle, and the songs were singing one after another.
Zhang Kuang When he was standing in the players tunnel, he looked up at the clock above the tunnel. It was two fifteen minutes in the afternoon, fifteen minutes before the start of the game.
Chelsea's players stand on the other side.
Bosingwa, Terry, David·Luiz, Ashley·Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Mata, Ramires, Drogba, Kalou.
Drogba stood at the front of the team, with his hands on his hips, his tall body like a black mountain.
He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kuang. The two looked at each other briefly, but neither of them spoke.
Last season, UEFA Champions League had many battles with the league, Zhang Kuang and Chelsea.
Now the two teams are very familiar with each other, and they should be enemies like familiar opponents.
Zhang Kuang withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and silently went through Ferguson's pre-game arrangements in his mind.
Martin·Tyler: "Dear viewers, welcome to watch the first game of the 2011-12 season: England Football Association Community Shield's game, the two sides of the game are Manchester United and Chelsea, this is a pair of enemies last season. The two teams played a total of 5 games last season, and Manchester United maintained the absolute lead with a complete victory..."

It was broadcast all over the world. Manchester United fans and Premier League fans stayed in front of the TV early. Everyone finally saw the handsome and super scoring Zhang Kuang.
He Wei: "Dear viewers, the new season of Premier League is about to begin again. The first game is Community Shield. The two sides facing off are Manchester United, the Premier League champion of last season. Team, as well as the runner-up Chelsea team of Premier League last season, Chelsea defeated the Manchester City team with a net surplus at the last moment of last season and won the runner-up.
The two sides in this match were originally the Football Association Cup champion versus the Premier League league champion, but since Manchester United won the Football Association Cup and league championships last season, the other team was filled by the league runner-up."
Xu Yang: "Yes, last season Manchester United not only won the Football Association Cup championship and league championship, but also Community Shield and UEFA Champions League champion, the only thing Manchester United lost last season was the League Cup championship. I wonder if they will win the League Cup championship this season?"
He Wei: "Haha, this is just an ideal. The schedule is too intensive and the players can't stand it. The first team of a team only has about thirty people, so it can't cope with so many games.
If you have to face the league, Football Association Cup, League Cup, UEFA Champions League, there will be at least 70 games in a season. If you add in the national team games, players will have to play more than 80 games in 10 months, which is unbearable for many players."
Xu Yang: "Yes, this will test the thickness of the team's bench and the physical distribution ability of the players, so appropriate trade-offs are necessary."
He Wei: "Of course, there are individual teams that have won six major championships. That means the team is already at its peak. If some key players are absent from some key games, it will be difficult to win every championship."
Xu Yang: "Of course, what we hope is that Manchester United can win a Grand Slam this season."
He Wei: "This is of course, who doesn't want perfection? Well, the players from both sides have entered the field. Next, let us introduce the starting players of both sides. Let's look at Manchester United's first:
The goalkeeper is No. 1 David·De Gea they just introduced this season, and the defenders are No. 12 Smalling, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 15 Manchester United captain Vidić, and No. 3 Evra.
The three midfielders are No. 16 Carrick, No. 42 Pogba, and No. 11 Giggs. The three frontcourt players are No. 10 Rooney, No. 9 Berbatov, and No. 33 Zhang Kuang.
Sitting on the bench are: No. 34 substitute goalkeeper Lindegaard, No. 4 Phil·Jones, No. 23 Evans, No. 21 Rafael, No. 35 Cleverley, No. 18 Ashley Young, and No. 13 Park Ji-sung.
Manchester United's staff has made several adjustments this season. Pogba in the midfield is a newcomer brought up by Manchester United's own youth training.
Goalkeeper De Gea is goalkeeper Atlético Madrid who just joined in early July, and Ashley Young and Phil·Jones are all newcomers."
Xu Yang: "Looking at it this way, Manchester United has 4 new faces in the first team."
He Wei: "Actually, Pogba is not exactly a new face. Last year, he briefly appeared in the first team and also assisted Zhang Kuang, it seems."
Xu Yang: "I heard that he has a very good relationship with Zhang Kuang."
He Wei: "Okay, let's take a look at Chelsea's starting lineup. The biggest change for Chelsea this year is the change of head coach. Obviously Abu was a little dissatisfied with Ancelotti's performance last year, so this year he invited marshal Andre Villas Boas, who was Mourinho's right-hand man.
However, Académica de Coimbra, who took over Portugal in the 2009-10 season, successfully brought the relegation team to the middle of the league, proving his independent coaching ability.
In the 2010-11 season, he coached Porto and had a stellar season this season. Primeira Liga remained unbeaten with 27 wins and 3 draws and won the championship, leading the second place by 21 points.
At the same time, he won the UEFA Europa League Cup championship, Taça de Portugal, and the triple crown of the season. He won the triple crown at the age of only 33 years and 213 days, becoming the youngest European championship winning coach in history.
In June 2011, Chelsea paid a liquidated penalty of 15 million euros to poach a new player, setting a record for the transfer fee of a football head coach. Therefore, this young coach officially became the first team coach of Chelsea."
Xu Yang: "Wow, this is really... Hero has a young coach? It feels like Europe has a lot of coaches who coached the team at a young age and achieved success."
He Wei: "Yes, the Europe team dares to give young people a chance. Okay, let's continue to introduce the starters of the Chelsea team..."
When He Wei introduced the starters, the two teams Manchester United and Chelsea had completed a series of rituals. After standing still, the referee blew a whistle.
The game officially begins.
In the first five minutes, the compression intensity of Chelsea was very high.
Mata and Ramires ran in the frontcourt like two sharp scissors, constantly cutting Manchester United's passing line.
Pogba touched the ball for the first time in the midfield and was successfully pressed from the side by Mata. After the ball was intercepted, Mata took advantage of the situation and took a long shot. The ball flew off the crossbar.
Martin: "Ah, the new recruit almost caused a disaster. Gary, do you think Sir Ferguson took a risk and sent a new recruit to play?"
Gary·Neville: "Actually, there is no other way. Scholes's retirement and Manchester United's recent midfield recruitment has been a bit unsatisfactory, so we have to let Pogba take over.
But this is not a big deal. After all, everyone grows up as a new person. Give them some time and they will grow up slowly."
Pogba looked back, sweat forming on his forehead.
As the captain, Vidić stepped forward to comfort Pogba: "Don't panic! Keep your rhythm steady, don't let them lead you away!"
Pogba nodded.
The next few times he touched the ball, he deliberately accelerated the speed of the ball, and it was not interrupted by Mata again.
In the 5th minute, when Pogba was entangled with Mata in the midfield, he suddenly stretched out his foot and accurately poked the ball out.
Mata was caught off guard by his sudden steal, and he staggered and almost fell down.
Pogba was very excited after grabbing the ball and instinctively took two steps with his feet.
But he immediately remembered what Zhang Kuang said before: 'After you steal the ball, you always like to take two steps before passing it. Premier League will intercept it.'
His mind was spinning rapidly at that moment, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Kuang diagonally cutting in from the right.
He didn't hesitate anymore and sent the ball with a long pass.
The ball flew in front of Zhang Kuang.
I have to say that Pogba's passing ability is still very good, and his diagonal long transfer is very pleasing to the eye.
This pass won the applause of Manchester United fans, and even He Wei also praised it.
He Wei: "Oh, this kid can do it. This pass has the style of a superstar."
Zhang Kuang judged the landing point in advance while running, stopped with his chest, and moved forward.
Mikel and Ashley Cole rushed up at the same time, sandwiching him on the left and right.
Mikel is the midfielder of Nigeria, who is physically strong and has first-class confrontation ability.
Ashley Cole is one of the best left backs in England history. His speed, experience, and defensive skills are all at the top level.
With these two players flanking each other, any forward would have a headache.
But Zhang Kuang is not any striker.
These two people want to trap him? Zhang Kuang is one who has withstood being clamped by various human shields. He can break in no matter what kind of human shield is clamped by him, and then...
He suddenly turned sideways in the gap, bumped Mikel with his left shoulder, pushed Ashley Cole away with his right hand, and squeezed out between the two of them.
That explosive force was so fast that everyone present could not catch his eyes.
Sky Sports's commentator Martin·Tyler's voice suddenly rose. "Beautiful! Zhang Kuang forced his way out of the double-team of the two. He is still so sharp and his body is still so tough. No, he seems to be tougher than last season! Čech attacks!"
Čech attacks really fast.
The Czech Republic goalkeeper judged the danger the moment Zhang Kuang got rid of the double team. He rushed out of the penalty area as quickly as possible and pounced on the rolling ball like a black lightning.
The moment Zhang Kuang saw Čech rushing out, his feet were already adjusted.
He can pick up shots, push shots into the far corner, and even beat the goalkeeper directly.
But what he never expected was that Čech's attack this time was more decisive and fierce than any previous encounter.
Czech Republic almost rushed over with the ball, his whole body fully expanded, and the area occupied was as exaggerated as a wall lying on the ground.
Čech may not have expected that what he encountered was a non-human being. If it were a normal human being, there would be absolutely no problem with Čech's top ball-fighting skills.
Zhang Kuang's foot touched the ball, but Čech's fingers also touched the ball.
Then... everyone was shocked!
