Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 645: Just One Game
"This is the home of Jon-Paul Gilhooley, one of the victims of the Hillsborough Massacre. Jon-Paul Gilhooley was the youngest of the victims at only ten years old. The death of Jon-Paul Gilhooley brought unacceptable pain to the family. Today , Jon-PaulGilhooley’s family held a funeral for Jon-PaulGilhooley with endless memories. There were hundreds of Liverpool fans who came to the funeral spontaneously, as well as several members of the Liverpool team.
Early in the morning, Jon-Paul Gilhooley, the youngest of the more than 90 victims, gathered dozens of British media outside his home. There are more victims, more than 90 people, and there are victims every day. Funeral, but this is the first time that there are so many media, just because the victim is too young, only ten years old, is a Huaguduo age just ignorantly facing the world, and withered.
No matter which country it is in, the death of such a small child due to an accident will always arouse people's compassion.
Therefore, knowing that Jon-Paul Gilhooley is going to be buried this day, not only the local media in Liverpool, but also the media in other places have sent people. The largest British broadcaster bbc even filmed the whole live broadcast of the car.
At this time, I don’t know how many BBC viewers are watching the show, seeing off the ten-year-old fan in front of the TV.
Several players from the Liverpool team also came, including goalkeeper Bruce Grobella, Alturic and other old players who are very familiar to many fans, and winger John Barnes just arrived. New players in the team for one or two years.
But both old players who are familiar with the fans or new players who are unfamiliar will all attend the funeral of the fans who died.
Barnes also attended the funeral of Jon-Paul Gilhooley, and was interviewed by reporters at the funeral of fans for the first time.
"Barnes, can you tell me what you saw at the time?" The reporter from BBC was the first to ask.
“I’m a bit far away, so I didn’t know what happened at the beginning. I didn’t know how terrible things happened until I saw a few fans running down from the Liping Alley stands. Even, until the referee paused After the game, after returning to the locker room, I saw my wife Susie crying. "Someone died.She said. "Impossible!""I didn't believe it at all, I said to Susie, "This is just a rumor.I finally saw the BBC live broadcast before I had to believe this cruel fact.” Barnes said with a sad face, shaking his head, mentioning the scene at that time, he still couldn't believe it or didn't want to believe it.
"Perhaps I am the player who can see the most clearly." The goalkeeper Bruce Grobella on the side also said painfully: "I am the closest to the stands. The stand that happened is behind the goal behind me. I go to the goal and pick up the ball. Sometimes I heard fans shouting: "We are going to die!Bruce, we can't do it anymore!"I was very surprised at the time. Although I was not sure what happened, I hurriedly called on the staff to carry out rescue. However, the staff ignored me, and the police who maintained order ignored me."
When the staff police ignored him, Bruce Grobella's hands just clenched his fists, as if he would punch out anytime when the staff or police appeared in front of him. Everyone present could see Bruce. · Grobella’s anger and depression, the fingers and phalanx of his fists were pale without any blood.
"Bill Shankly once said, "Football is not life and death, football is higher than life and death." Barnes, do you still think so?"
After several players recalled the scene they saw at that time, Qiao Feng, who had been standing in the distance listening, suddenly heard such a very pungent and sharp question, and his eyebrows could not help but raised. This question was really good Qiao Feng. Such a non-fan's heart.
This famous quote from the father of Liverpool’s legendary football coach, Qiao Feng, had sneered at it before.
Qiao Feng is more satisfied that the person who asked this bitter question was not a reporter from which British newspaper, but a Ming Pao reporter from Hong Kong. As Ming Pao’s current second boss and future boss, Qiao Feng gave this reporter a look. Full marks for sure.
It’s great to be able to ask meaningful questions among a bunch of reporters, not to mention that this question is still the most meaningful and worthy of a special book. Just asking this question can help Ming Pao The popularity is at least a little bit in the UK.
From the eyes of other reporters, Qiao Feng knew that at least for these colleagues in the United Kingdom, the two words Ming Pao would be imprinted in their minds from this moment. Let them know that with such a sharp reporter, the newspaper colleagues in Hong Kong turned out to be too. So amazing.
Barnes didn’t expect the question to be so sharp, especially when it involved bringing a Liverpool team that played the second division to the top league, and in that era, the legendary coach of Europe’s football father Bill Shankly, this No matter how the question is answered, it is easily controversial.
However, it is obvious that the tragedy has touched Barnes too much. If he changes to the past, he will definitely support Bill Shankly. By the way, football is higher than life and death, but at this time, Barnes After a few seconds of silence, he gave an answer from his heart.
"Before this, I always liked to rationally analyze what happened around me. But after seeing what happened in the Lieping Alley stand, my outlook on life changed completely. I asked myself: "Is this important?I'm still alive, and my family is still alive, isn't that great?Football doesn't seem to be that important anymore, it really doesn't mean everything.When 96 fans are killed in a crowd, when parents lose their beloved children, and the children lose their parents who raised them, what is football worth?Football is not life and death, football is higher than life and death-it seems somewhat unreal at this time.Football is a game, even if there are gorgeous competitions in it, it looks bleak compared to life."
Bang bang bang...
After Barnes finished speaking, there were a few rounds of applause at first, followed by successive applauses. At this time, even the hardcore fans would not feel that what Barnes said was wrong, let alone Liverpool. Fans believe that Barnes has offended their god, Liverpool's legendary coach Bill Shankly.
And the Ming Pao photographer behind the reporter was also very good at taking the opportunity to take this scene completely.
