63. I won't make fun of you
Outside Carrington training base, Bernard Jock and Abraham Linton were crowded in the crowd waiting for the players to finish their training.
Manchester City has formed a situation where two teams compete for dominance since a long time ago. Some people say that Manchester is blue and there are more local fans in Manchester City. In fact, this is wrong, because the two teams were formed earlier, and Manchester United's performance is relatively brilliant. In Manchester, there are still more Manchester United fans. If it is just divided into regions, the eastern area around Etihad is the base camp of Manchester City fans, and the western area around Old Trafford is the base camp of Manchester United fans.
It is similar to London. In fact, these two teams are also clustered in different regions. Manchester East basically belongs to Manchester City, and Manchester West basically belongs to Manchester United.
Jock and Linton are Manchester City fans who live in the East. Both little guys are only fifteen or sixteen years old, but they have been around fifteen or sixteen years old. When they were very young, they were taken to Maine Road Stadium to watch the football and gradually became Manchester City's iron clubs. It is their common hobby to like Manchester City, like football, and like oasis. Living in the same neighborhood, the two have been good playmates since childhood.
If you catch the opportunity, you will run to Carrington training base to "condolence" Manchester City's first team.
Now, the Dortmund battle is approaching, and the two hardcores are particularly concerned about the team's preparations, and come to the front line to comfort Wen Sheng and the others.
In the past two days, not only are there many fans, but also many reporters outside the training base. Everyone is looking forward to finding something from Manchester City's players, coaching staff and even the goalkeepers.
Manchester itself is another center of the English media, and some of the national major media are even headquartered in Manchester.
"Here's here!" someone shouted in the crowd.
For fans like Jock and Linton, they remember most of the license plate numbers of players clearly.
The end of the training is not the players who leave in a hurry. Basically, they go their own way every time, because after training, some people need to practice more and some people need to receive massage and physiotherapy.
"It's Ding Ding!" Bernard shouted happily. The last time a classmate asked him to sign on his behalf, but there were too many people and he couldn't get Ding Ding's signature. He hoped that this time he could succeed.
De Bruyne doesn't like autographs, interviews or something, but there is no way, it's not easy for these fans.
Manchester City is indeed not famous, but fans are definitely not only available in Manchester, but they are available all over the world. It is quite hard to come from afar. If you get the autograph of a star, you will definitely be very disappointed.
In the past, when he was at Crystal Palace, De Bruyne often drove over directly, but once when he was chatting with Wensheng, he said that the fans were annoying, Wensheng told De Bruyne that it was not easy for fans. De Bruyne changed his style and would stop the car and sign a few times each time.
After coming to Manchester City, De Bruyne maintained this habit.
"Dingding, please!"
"Dingding, please sign your name!"
De Bruyne had just stopped the car near Jock, Linton and the others, and when the window fell, the expectation of the fans outside could be heard.
De Bruyne didn't say anything, reached out to sign. After signing for a minute or two, he apologized, then left the scene, turned a deaf ear to the reporters' questions and left.
"Haha, I finally got the signature for Paul!" Jock raised his jersey happily, and his friend Linton was also very happy, and they also got De Bruyne's signature.
"This time I was lucky. Ding Ding actually parked the car next to us!" Linton said intimacy. They all knew De Bruyne's habit. They usually signed a dozen autographs and would almost leave, and they didn't like to talk.
The reporters didn't like De Bruyne at all. Every time this guy was always like a piece of wood. He had originally expected him to be able to get out of his mind, but who knew he wouldn't say a word.
However, the reporters liked the people who left the training base next, and it was the captain Kompani.
"Vincent, how do you feel?! Are you confident in the game two days later?!" Before Kompany finished and rolled down the window, the reporters' questions were thrown away one by one.
As the captain of the team, he has a great responsibility. He is the team's example. He also has the responsibility to interact more with the fans and narrow the distance between him and the fans. Therefore, Kompani will almost stop for a few minutes every day. Basically, the reporters want to ask something to find Kompani.
"I feel good!" Kompany got out of the car and signed the fans and answered the reporter's questions with a smile. "Of course we are confident that we are ready to defend the municipal stadium!"
"How much do you think you have the chance of winning?!" Another reporter asked.
Kompani is also an old man and will not talk nonsense, "I don't know! As long as we can perform at our own level normally, we still have a great hope!"
Jock and Linton were pricking their ears and listening to every word Kompany said, because these would become the capital for them to brag about in class tomorrow. Jock always claimed to be Manchester City Little Spirit in his class.
Manchester City fans care about this game very much, and of course they also care about the Champions League. The reason why there are more and more fans outside the training base in the past two days is nothing more than just like Jock and others. They want to listen to the players or Wen Sheng say something in person, as if Wen Sheng and they say that we will win, and we will definitely win.
Kompany left in a short while, he was much more kind than De Bruyne, and at least several fans who requested a photo were satisfied with Kompany.
Jock is now looking forward to head coach Wensheng coming out quickly. "What will Daniel say?! Will he have confidence?!"
Linton sneered at his friend, "How could he not have confidence! He defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu! He will definitely lead us to defeat Dortmund! The Bundesliga is a bunch of trash!"
"Hey, weren't you very unaware of him before?! Haha, you're actually saying good things for him now!" Jock obviously grabbed Linton's braid.
Most Manchester City fans welcome Wen Sheng to take over Etihad. This is the information obtained by the Manchester Evening News during a street interview. So when Wen Sheng signed with Manchester City, Manchester City fans had good expectations for Wen Sheng, but there were also a small group of fans who still remembered that Wen Sheng deliberately provoked Manchester City last season and did not like Wen Sheng to Manchester City.
Linton is one of them. He swears in front of Jock that Wensheng is simply a country bumpkin in South London, and winning the championship is luck. If Manchester City invites him, he will definitely not get anything.
Now, he actually changed his attitude?!
"I didn't say good things to him! I was just explaining a fact and proving that he could do it!" Linton made a strong argument.
"It's easy to admit that you're wrong, I won't make fun of you!" Jock smiled and teased his friend. Linton's face was blushing like a monkey's butt.
