Old Trafford is located in Greater Manchester County west of Manchester. It is the home court of the English club Manchester United and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. Manchester United has used this stadium as its home court in 1910. During World War II in 1941, the stadium was bombed by bombs and moved to Manchester City's home stadium Maine Road stadium. It was not until 1949 that Old Trafford stadium was rebuilt and has been used to this day.

Old Trafford is Manchester United's home court, with a loud nickname, "theatre-of-dreams". Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton first called Old Trafford, because here, countless classic games have been staged in the past hundred years, and the best players and the best teams have performed here.

When he came to Old Trafford Stadium for the first time, Gong Zheng couldn't help but be attracted by this magnificent venue. Old Trafford Stadium began to be expanded in the northeast and northwest of the stadium in 2006, and was officially used in the 2006/2007 season. The number of seats increased from 68,000 to 76,000. It is the second largest football stadium in England at present, second only to the newly built and has 90,000 seats in the new Wembley Stadium. In November 2006, the number of seats for Portsmouth reached 76,004, setting the highest seating record since the expansion of the stadium.

Facing such a large-scale stadium, it is hard for Gong Zheng to imagine what it feels like to play football in front of so many people. Now he is a little impatient to participate in this season's Premier League.

At this time, nearly 60,000 spectators had already poured into the Old Trafford stadium. Although there were not as many fans when Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid, these Red Devils fans were very strong. The atmosphere in the Old Trafford stadium was very hot, especially when Gong Zheng appeared in the Old Trafford stadium, Manchester United fans were even more excited and cheered Gong Zheng's name frantically.

Gong Zheng did not enter the stadium from the player channel today, but entered the stadium from the central channel of Old Trafford Stadium.

There are two passages at Old Trafford, one is called the Central passage and the other is called the Player passage. The central passage was built in 1910 and is the only surviving part of the old stadium in the air strike in 1941. The central passage was used until 1993 to complete its historical mission. Due to the large inclination angle and steep slopes inside the passage, many of Manchester United players had developed the habit of jumping into the stadium. Now Manchester United players are obviously much luckier. The newly built player passage is spacious enough to drive into a heavy truck. The ground slope of the new passage is smooth, with good lighting, and easy to take photography. A white canopy is also specially installed at the entrance of the passage. When the player door comes out of the inside, the canopy is automatically opened to protect the players from being injured by debris that accidentally fall from the audience.

When he first saw this central channel with a steep slope, Gong Zheng was also shocked. He really didn't expect the central channel to be like this.

I feel something is wrong about the club not allowing itself to enter the stadium from the newly built spacious player channel, but entering the stadium from this central channel. Perhaps this is the tradition of the Red Devils Manchester United.

After jumping over, Gong Zheng finally came out of the central channel. As soon as he came out, Gong Zheng was attracted by Old Trafford Stadium.

The design of the Old Trafford stadium pursues a solemn and magnificent visual effect in the use of color. The red stands on all sides are as beautiful as Manchester United jerseys, which are the pride of Old Trafford. On the north table are made of white seats, the words "machester-united" are made up of the north table, and on the east and west tables are the names of Manchester United's largest sponsors, sharp and umbro. In addition to ordinary seats, the seat settings are also family stands and private rooms.

, away fans' seats and disabled seats. Each seat is perfectly arranged for specific objects. The family stand located in the southwest corner of the stadium is only open to the families of club members or other tourist groups organized by the club. Private rooms provide CCTV-playing slow motion or replay shooting shots, and are equipped with special waiters. The disabled stands are not only specially designed for convenient access and access and toilets, but also wheelchairs and blind headphones for listening to live commentary.

Gong Zheng stepped into the stadium, and the host's introduction immediately sounded from the speakers in the Old Trafford stadium. The fans at the scene cheered wildly during the introduction, shouting Gong Zheng's name: "Gong Zheng! Gong Zheng! Gong Zheng!"

When he walked into the stadium, he heard such a hot call. Gong Zheng was very excited. He immediately waved to the Manchester United fans around him, with a happy smile on his face. Gong Zheng had never seen such a scene before. He was very excited at this time. These Manchester United fans gave Gong Zheng a very comfortable and very good feeling.

Gong Zheng, who waved into the court, quickly stepped into the turf of Old Trafford Stadium, because Manchester United temporarily built a platform in the center of the stadium, where will Gong Zheng officially meet with Manchester United fans.

Gong Zheng felt refreshed when he stepped on the turf of Old Trafford Stadium! Old Trafford has the best lawn in the world. The 116-yard long, 76-yard wide lawn is planted with four different colors of grass. A imported American turf called Kentucky Orchid is specially laid in the area near the goal, which is particularly resistant to trampling. The ceilings of the four stands in the southeast, west and north are designed as transparent small squares to ensure that the lawn can get enough sunshine. The lawn is carefully cared for, trimming three times a week from April to November, and once a week from November to March the following year. Usually, except for players

The lawns are strictly prohibited from entering the lawn. The away team can only enter 1 hour in advance to warm up. Three underground fountains allow the lawn to be well irrigated even in the dry season. All the water is constantly circulating in a 55,000-gallon water storage tank under the East Stand. The underground laying is equipped with heating pipes that total several miles long, which can be quickly thawed when frost or snow. In addition, the lawn drainage system is also first-class, with the middle of the lawn being 9 inches higher than the two wings, and some tiny plastic pipes lure the rain away. This ensures that the game does not have to be postponed in bad weather.

Walking into the turf, Gong Zheng couldn't help but lean down, stretched out his right hand and slid it on the green turf, and then took his right hand back to his nose. He could feel the unique fragrance and earthy atmosphere of the grass. The turf was simply amazing.

Gong Zheng praised the Old Trafford Stadium even more. Seeing Gong Zheng's actions, Manchester United fans cheered even more crazily, roared wildly, shouting Gong Zheng's name: "Gong Zheng! Gong Zheng! Gong Zheng!"

Standing on the turf, Gong Zheng immediately waved to the fans around him, and at the same time he was also looking at the magnificent stadium carefully.

The stadium is surrounded by four stands, southeast, west and northeast. The South stand is the oldest one, with a director's office, printing department and administrative suite underneath. However, the two most distinctive scenery in the South stand should be the Busby statue and the Munich Bell. The high-hanging Munich Bell hand will always stop at 8:15 on February 6, 1958. After that air crash, Sir Busby rebuilt Manchester United in the ruins. In order to commemorate his merits, the club placed his statue here. Busby put his right hand on his hip, held the ball in his left hand, staring at the front, as if silently praying for the Red Devils' tomorrow.

The magnificent North Stand was announced on March 17, 1995 by Manchester United Chairman Edwards. The entire project cost 19 million pounds, with a total of 4,000 tons of steel bars and 4,500 tons of cement supporting this huge stand. Its seats have increased to 25,110, and there are 31 luxurious "sky boxes" on the top of the second floor of the third-level stand. In addition, the importance of the North Stand is also located in

At the top of its West Point, the studio and the famous Red Devils Coffee House. The East Stand was also renovated in the summer of 1994. For safety reasons, it was farther from the lawn, which inevitably made many fans feel a little regretful. Its left is a huge electronic scoreboard. In 1993, an international standard auditorium that can accommodate 400 people at a time was built, specifically for hosting banquets, weddings or celebrating the stars' birthdays.

Old Trafford Stadium is a stadium with comprehensive functions and very powerful comprehensive performance. Today, more than 60,000 fans have flooded here. The stadium does not seem crowded, and the safety factor is very high. Fans and organizers will worry about what accidents will happen.

Although Manchester United fans are the craziest fans in the world, Old Trafford's security system is one of the most advanced in the UK.

The main control room is supported by a red bracket, surrounded by a glass curtain wall. The automatic door can identify the identity of the staff and open. The 27 screens in the control room are connected to cameras distributed at different angles inside and outside the field. The camera of each monitor can be freely retracted to freeze any face in the audience.

In addition, security guards patrolling the sidelines have binoculars, which are also connected to the surveillance system. Once a riot occurs in a certain area, the perpetrators are easily tracked by the staff. The intelligent computer system can control the speed of people entering and leaving the stadium, and can also automatically give plans in personnel arrangements. It will first divide the safety levels of away fans based on historical data. For example, fans of Liverpool and Leeds United are classified as C, requiring high safety measures and a large number of policemen. Coventry belongs to B, with only a small number of policemen. Civilized spectators like Wimbledon fans are classified as A, and only a few security guards are required.

Although the club has always advocated the use of less police officers in staffing, it is necessary to ensure a certain number of police officers, because security guards do not have the right to arrest the audience at critical moments. There are three detention rooms under the control room, which are used to isolate men, women and children. In addition, a nursing team composed of twelve doctors and twelve nurses is distributed in specific positions on the court on the game day, so that most of the nursing work is completed before entering the physiotherapy room.

It is because the safety factor of Old Trafford Stadium is so high that Red Devils fans can cheer for the team so wildly on the stadium.

Today, Manchester United fans came here to welcome Gong Zheng. They were very excited in the stands and were talking with their relatives and friends around them.

"Look at it, Gong's body is simply too strong, as strong as a cow!"

"Look at it, how tall is that guy? If this guy flies, it's like a bomber."

"Look at that guy's thighs are so thick? If you kick it, you won't break the net of the goal!"
Chapter completed!
