Chapter 1334, Long Time No See

The weather in Manchester is always not very good. It is rare to see bright sunshine. Every day is either cloudy or rainy, and there are no more than a hundred days of sunny days throughout the year. This kind of gloomy weather will always make people feel sad.

The same is true today. The weather in Manchester is extremely cold. Although it is already a spring day in March, Manchester is still extremely cold. It is now 6:50 in the evening, it is raining lightly outside, there is no pedestrian on the street, and the Scarlet Bar is also empty, not a single drinker.

On the electronic time plate hanging on the wall, the date shows April 1, 2039.

Rare, or an April Fool's Day.

Sitting on the bar at this time was a young man, looking listless, playing with the phone in his hand.

It has been five years since Apple went bankrupt. Huaguo's Huawei mobile phone has become the largest mobile phone brand in the world. The Dragonscale system they developed has already occupied many fields such as mobile phones and computers. Huaguo has already surpassed Europe and the United States. , became the world's largest country.

The young man is playing a game on a Huawei phone, a light helmet on his head, and he is silent in the latest tactile sandbox game.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name: "Hope! Hope!"

The young man impatiently apologized to his game teammates on the other side of the ocean, then took off his helmet and looked for the source of the sound.

I saw an old man in his 60s coming down from upstairs. Although he was covered with gray hair, he was still in good spirits.

"Hope, are you being lazy again?" the old man complained.

The young man named Hope shrugged: "Why do I not play games? There are no customers in such a big bar. Old father, I suggest you close the bar and start a new game. It must be better than this one." Broken bars make more money!"

"Shut up!" The old man was a little annoyed, "As long as I live, I won't let the Scarlet Bar disappear!"

"Always so stubborn..." Hope complained in a low voice.

At this moment, the sound of closing an umbrella came from outside the door, and several people opened the door of the bar and walked in. But before anyone entered the room, the voice came first.

"Butler, are you there? We're looking for you for a drink!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the old man looked back, and he suddenly became happy: "Cook, Rodney, long time no see!"

I saw two familiar figures walking in, the tall one was Cook, and the still fat one was Rodney.

As the former president and backbone of the "King of Demons", Cook and Rodney still have the same demeanor, but the wind and frost of the years have scratched their faces, and they no longer have the youthful faces of the past.

Even so, Cook and Rodney were still five or six years younger than Butler, and they took a few quick steps to help Butler sit down.

"I'm not old, I don't need you to help me." Butler waved his hands, sat down freely, and shouted at Hope on the counter, "Take two bottles of the most expensive wine, and slaughter them today both!"

"Hahahaha! You bastard!" Cook laughed, "I suspect now that half of your bar's turnover is probably contributed by the two of us."

Hearing this, Butler sighed: "The business of the bar has not been good in the past two years, and now I can't make ends meet every month. Life is not as good as it was a few years ago."

Fatty Rodney said carelessly: "If it were me, I might as well sell the bar! You are so old, how good it is to go home and retire! Or change the bar into a restaurant or something, at least you will earn more than you do now. A lot of money."

Hope took two bottles of good wine and put them on the table. Hearing what Rodney said, he nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Uncle Rodney is right!"

"That's right, shit!" Butler glared at Hope,

"Hurry up and open a drink for us, and then stay aside! Don't disturb us chatting about old times!"

Hope opened the wine bottle with an aggrieved face, poured wine for the three of them, and then returned to the counter to rest on his stomach. He muttered in a low voice: "What are you chatting and reminiscing about the old days, so many words repeated every time, why do you think Manchester United won seven championships back then, Jin Taige was the invincible head coach of the universe, Manchester United won the Champions League four consecutive times... In the first place, I’m tired of talking about such a few things, but it’s still interesting to play games.”

With that said, Hope started his game journey again...

It's only seven o'clock in the evening, and there are still no other customers in the bar, only three old guys sitting in the back, chatting leisurely.

Every time they chat, they sit in a designated seat, and there are several precious group photos on the wall, most of which are photos of the whole team when Manchester United won the Champions League.

Cook pointed to these photos and counted them one by one: "Look at these photos, how wonderful! Looking at these familiar faces now, I seem to have returned to the most glorious moment of Manchester United twenty years ago."

"That year was the first time Manchester United won the Champions League, and they also won seven championships in one breath. We became the unprecedented seven champions, what an honor!"

Fatty Rodney waved his hand: "That's nothing. After defending the seven crowns for two consecutive years, that was the peak moment of Manchester United!"

Butler also said excitedly: "I still prefer the summer of 2019, when Manchester United won the Champions League for four consecutive times. Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final. We beat the mighty Liverpool 4-0. That game was great." Woolen cloth!"

Hearing this, Rodney shook his head: "But there were troubles in the next few years. After winning the Champions League for four consecutive times, we obviously received some unfair treatment. In order to prevent us from continuing to monopolize the Champions League, UEFA even let us In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2019-2020 season, he received a red card every time and was awarded a penalty kick every time, but the result was that he did not qualify for the group stage! This group of hateful guys!"

Cook also recalled that experience: "After Manchester United was hacked by UEFA, they have not recovered for two consecutive years. However, starting from 2022, that group of young teenagers has gradually risen, especially the central players of Felix and De Jong. The core role of the frontcourt combination is obvious, we have won several Champions Leagues one after another, and the Premier League champions have also returned."

Butler sighed: "However, after this group of players retired, Jin Taige also retired. A few years ago, Giggs took over as the head coach. He led the Manchester United team. , last season he also left."

Rodney gulped down a glass of wine: "However, after Carrick took over the Manchester United coach this season, Manchester United's performance has plummeted. Where is it ranked now? Seventh or eighth?"

"Have you forgotten? After losing to Everton in the last game, we are now ranked ninth in the league..."
