George Best's body returned to his hometown, Belfast, Northern Ireland, where everyone loves his family, friends and fans, and says goodbye to him and sends away the pride of his hometown.

Before the morning mist had dissipated, thousands of fans gathered at Stormont, Belfast to say goodbye to their heroes. Many of the people in the crowd were already gray in their temples, and some fathers and sons brought them countless wonderful memories when they started watching the game.

The plane slowly landed with Best's coffin. Best's son Colm escorted his father's body and walked down the gangway. On Best's coffin was covered with Manchester United Club's team flags, surrounded by white carnations, followed by Colm Best, as well as Best's old father Dicky Best and other relatives. The fans who were waiting here early also slowly followed. After a three-mile journey, Best's coffin arrived at the funeral site, the parliament hall in Belfast.

This was the first funeral held in the parliamentary hall in 65 years. Before Best, the last time he was so well-received was dated to Prime Minister Lord Koregavin who died in 1940. Considering safety factors, only 32,000 fans were allowed to enter the open space in front of the parliamentary building, and 300 invited guests attended the funeral. These included Best's two ex-wifes, Alex and Angie.

Pete Cowry, the actor of the opera "Les Miserables", sang an ode to "Take him home". Amid the melodious songs, Best's memorial ceremony officially began. Dugan, McPartland, Armstrong, Dennis Law, these former teammates of Best at Manchester United and Northern Ireland, gently lifted his coffin up the stairs. Best's closest teammate Dennis Law, as representative, read the eulogy.

Behind them, Ferguson, former Northern Ireland coach Bingham and Erikson were also present. The current Manchester United first-team members stood behind them in black suits.

The current coach of Northern Ireland is Best's fan. In Sanchez's eyes, Best is the greatest player in his mind. In his eulogy, Sanchez said: "Best is the pride of Northern Ireland. Although today is a sad day, people will remember his greatness. I watched his game when I was very young. At that time, he was about to say goodbye to the stadium, but his skills are still unforgettable to me."

A railway operator named Neil has been waiting here since last night. He did not leave the parliament hall silently until the funeral ended. "When I was still a child, I watched him play football. Although it is a sad moment, I am very happy to say goodbye to him in person." Many fans who attended the funeral arrived here from all corners of the UK a few days ago and bid farewell to the "Best Age" in their hearts.

A few days ago, many fans started commemorative activities. In the center of Belfast, people gathered in the church to pray for Best's soul. Outside the door of the city hall, many Best's No. 7 jerseys and scarves were hung. Fans lit fire candles in the drizzle and cold wind to pay tribute to Best.

In the eastern part of the city, Best's birthplace, Corregaver, people held the posters of Best that year, which included Best wearing Manchester United's No. 7 jersey and Northern Ireland National Team's No. 11 jersey, singing "Best of Belfast", and slowly gathered together. It was on the streets of their hometown that the young Best and his friends played balls and honed their skills that would have been torn to the world.

At the entrance of the parliamentary building, royal politicians and celebrities from all walks of life also sent wreaths. On Princes Street, Wales, where Best's coffin passed, a mile of road was lined with wreaths of grief, guarding Best's final journey. The crowd did not disperse for a long time, and many people were still unwilling to leave Best, even though Best really said goodbye to us now.

Such a huge memorial activity made Dong Fangzhuo deeply feel the greatness of Best. He remembered that when he was very young, there would be such a huge scene only when the great men of the country passed away. It was 1997, and the country lowered half of the flag to mourn. Later, that was...

He doesn't remember it.

But this was the first time he had experienced such a real person leaving in front of him.

In more than two months, he has attended two funerals, and he feels inexplicably sad.

The last time was Ronaldo's father, and this time it was Manchester United's greatest player Best. Although death is far away from him, I always feel that the people around me are leaving one by one?

When Manchester United fans were playing for Best Memorial against Portsmouth at home, it was still the event of Manchester United fans commemorating Best, as if people didn't want Best to leave.

Under the protection of Best, Manchester United continued to continue their brave state. With the goals of Giggs, Rossi and Scholes, Manchester United won Portsmouth at home. In the standings, they still followed Chelsea with 4 points.

What made Ferguson feel relieved was that in this game, he put Ronaldo, Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo on the bench. Giggs and Scholes, who had not started for a long time, were in a state of great shape. Not only did they have a state of great shape in the game, but they also scored goals and led the team to a big victory.

At the most critical moment, every player in the Manchester United first team seemed to have recovered his form, which made him have a lot of chips. However, before going to Benfica, Portugal, he chose to believe Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

The last round of the Champions League is related to whether Manchester United can win the first place in the group. Ferguson doesn't want to take the second in the group to face the most perverted opponents in Europe. Last season, he was eliminated because he won the second in the group and then faced Milan in advance.

This time, as long as we get a draw, Manchester United can ensure first place in the league, but once they lose, they are likely to give the first place to Villareal and second in the group again.

"Best's departure seems to have brought Manchester United back on track. They went to Benfica, Portugal with grief, and decided how far they can go this season's Champions League. The game finally arrived. Win or draw Benfica, Manchester United's Champions League will be smooth. If they lose the game, Manchester United may fall into the abyss."

"The weather in Benfica that day was a bit bad, and the weather forecast said there was light snow, which was a big test for Manchester United."

"For Manchester United, Ferdinand's absence has a great impact on them. Sylvester will replace him. On the bench, Pique, who performed well in two games, still got the opportunity to enter the roster, and young player Rossi also came with the team..."
