这是英超亚洲杯十年来首次重返中国内地，这也是赛事首次分别在南京和上海两地举行。作为2019英超亚洲杯的第一站，这场比赛吸引了一大批足球迷，其中包括上周刚上任的英国驻沪总领事，胡克定（Chris Wood）。值得一提的是，总领事对“狼队”的偏好不仅在于其精湛的球技，还在于他浓浓的家乡情结。
As the first stop of the 2019 Premier League Asia Trophy, this match attracted crowds of football fans, including the new British Consul-General in Shanghai, Chris Wood, who took office last week. After meeting the deputy major of Nanjing and academics who have won the Chevening Scholarship, Chris Wood joined the crowd in the evening, cheering for his favorite team, Wolverhampton Wanders. Chris Wood’s preference for the Wolves not only stems from the team’s impressive skills, but also from the fact that he was born and raised in Wolverhampton. Take a look!
