Chapter 0, Prologue: The End of an Era

"It was a beautiful pass, Van Persie got the ball! Great, ok, in! Shot! Oops, the ball slipped, it's a shame, just a little bit."

"The Swansea goalkeeper was the best player in the team today, without him this game would have turned into a one-sided slaughter. The score is still 1-1, despite the Red Devils' best efforts. All out to win this game, but Swansea resisted stubbornly."

"Morris, I know you're a huge Manchester United fan. But this farewell battle is irrelevant. Manchester United are now seven points ahead of their rivals Manchester City. Even if this game is lost, Manchester United will still be champions."

"Rahman, you are right, but as the last game of the Ferguson era at the Theatre of Dreams, I think all the Manchester United players present must be like me, looking forward to a victory to bid farewell to their most respected and meritorious coach, Sir Alex Ferguson. !"

The Manchester United vs Swansea game is being broadcast live on Sky TV, and the commentators Morris and Raman are very emotional, especially Morris, a die-hard Manchester United fan.

"That's right! We just want to win! It's the same no matter what time!" a group of Manchester United fans who were not there shouted in the bar, "I've decided, as long as Morris is still on Sky TV, I'll have my fucking support forever. Sky TV!"

A shirtless fan drank a glass of beer in one breath and looked anxiously at the TV screen in the bar, "Brothers, work harder, win Swansea, and send off the Jazz with a victory!"

"That's right, come on!"

"Fight them!"

Now that the time has reached 86 minutes, the Manchester United players on the field are still tireless, running as hard as they have just debuted. They only have one thought in their minds now: win the game and say goodbye to the boss!

At this time, Manchester United won a corner kick from the right side of the frontcourt. At this time, except for goalkeeper De Gea, all Manchester United players rushed to the center of the penalty area, ready to fight for the top. Even the main centre-back partner Ferdinand and Vidic stood in the middle of the crowd, waiting for the fatal blow.

Van Persie ran to the corner with the ball in his hands. This season, he has scored 30 league goals, won the Premier League Golden Boot, and the long-awaited Premier League championship is about to arrive. He placed the ball on the penalty spot, stepped on the grass hard, took a deep breath, slowly stepped back, and then sprinted forward to drive the ball into the penalty area with one kick.

Boss, thank you for your kindness to me. I'll send you off with this last assist now!

Van Persie kicked the ball mixed with a strong arc and spun in the direction of the goal, creating chaos in the penalty area.

Swansea are currently ninth in the league, with neither the risk of relegation nor the possibility of a European entry, and even so, their players are reluctant to concede last-minute goals. At this time, everyone in the penalty area was struggling to get a header. At this moment, Vidic, who is 189cm tall, suddenly appeared at the front point. He jumped high and went towards the ball.

The Swansea goalkeeper jumped high, trying to block the front of the goal. But at the moment when Vidic was about to touch the ball, he suddenly lowered his head and let it go with a slight leak!

None of the Swansea players thought that Vidic would be like this, and lost an inch for a while. At this time, Ferdinand in the center of the penalty area suddenly rushed out seven meters away from the goal, kicked the ball and swept the ball into the net!

"Goal scored! Manchester United scored a goal by their No. 5 Ferdinand in the 87th minute and Manchester United are now 2-1 up!"

"Beautiful goal! This is Ferdinand's first goal in the Theatre of Dreams in five years. He expressed his respect and gratitude to Sir Alex Ferguson with such an excellent performance!"

At this time, the Dream Theater was in a carnival. Although there were still about 5 minutes before the game, all the fans present didn't care anymore.

They shouted Sir Alex Ferguson's name loudly through the Theatre of Dreams.

With three whistle blows from the referee, the game was over. Manchester United won at the Theatre of Dreams with a score of 2-1 and they are 10 points ahead of second place Manchester City and have won the 2012-2013 Premier League title.

After the game, Manchester United players, led by captain Ryan Giggs, walked around the stadium to thank the crowd.

Among the players who were celebrating, there was one person who was the most special. He is Scholes. Today is his last game at the Theatre of Dreams on behalf of Manchester United. After today, he will no longer be able to wear this red autumn clothes to fight on this lawn and destroy the city. He stood behind Giggs, just like the 18-year-old kid who was just transferred to the first team, young and shy, unwilling to stand in front of others. Giggs pulled him out of the team several times and let him accept the adoration of the fans, but after Scholes waved his thanks to the fans, he quietly hid behind Giggs.

At this moment, the audience suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked to the side of the court, only to see a 72-year-old man slowly walking towards the center of the Dream Theater. He was holding the microphone and his arms were trembling slightly. , or what other emotions, no one else knows. All the fans fell silent and looked at the old man in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he sits at United's bench every week, people would almost forget he's a 72-year-old.

Yeah, it's time for a good rest, you've done so much for Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson stands in the centre of the Theatre of Dreams, delivering his final speech as Manchester United manager. When he said thanking Manchester United and the fans, the middle-aged man with a big beard in the stands cried like a child.

At the end of the speech, Ferguson pulled Scholes, who was about to retire, beside him and asked him to say a few words, but Scholes shyly didn't say anything, just smiled tightly and stood beside the Sir. Beside him, his eyes were as clear as ever, as he was 20 years ago.

"A bloody era, it's over. It's been an incredible life, and I want to thank you all again."

Sir Alex Ferguson spoke and the fans listened.

"I also want to remind everyone that when we were bad, the club supported me and all the players supported me; now it's your job to support the next manager, which is crucial!"

All the fans listened in silence until Sir Alex Ferguson finished his speech. When he waved to the fans before the end, the fans all stood up in unison, clapped vigorously, and gave the most sincere applause to the club's meritorious coach.

This situation is sad, and all the fans can't help but feel a little worried.

With the Jazz gone, who can hold up the future of Manchester United?
