What Cook said was true.

Liu Yun, who transferred to Coventry City in the middle of League Two, only took a dozen games to firmly occupy the first place in the League Two scorer list. In the FA Cup, he scored frequently and led the team to defeat strong opponents repeatedly. Such a performance has long caught the attention of Premier League scouts.

If Liu Yun had not been forty-five years old, but twenty-five, the Premier League scouts would have used all means to poach him into their own team.

It's a pity that Liu Yun is already forty-five years old.

At such an age, no one dares to guarantee how long his good competitive condition will last, and naturally, no one dares to take risks.

Premier League scouts can watch Liu Yun's game video with appreciation, but they will never ask Coventry to buy it.

Besides, Liu Yun is a Chinese. Huaguo is now ranked outside the 75th place in the FIFA rankings. And Liu Yun is not a member of the national team, if the Premier League team wants to bring in Liu Yun, they can only use the special talent clause.

Each Premier League club can only use the special talent clause once a year. And "mobilization" does not mean "immediate adoption". The UK Ministry of Labour will also send a jury to hold a hearing.

Who would take such a risk for a forty-five-year-old? Even if the special genius clause was invoked, it would be futile for the Department of Labor's jury not to approve it. In recent years, the Premier League has introduced a large number of U19 and U21 "special talents", but I have never seen a 45-year-old "special talent"!

Manchester United's chief scout Cook and Liu Yun had a great conversation. Cook's advice to Liu Yun is to wait until Coventry is promoted and then find a club in Europe's second tier.

Cook looked at his watch: "Liu, it's not early." I still have something. By the way, I would like to ask you, you came to London this time for... ”

Liu Yun replied: "Participate in the David Show as a guest." ”

Cook smiled at Liu Yun: "Liu, kindly remind you." David? Alan's mouth is very powerful. Beware of him setting a trap for you when he asks you questions. ”

After saying that, Cook took his leave and left.

Cook is gone. Just now, Cook mentioned Manchester United's class of 92, which made Liu Yun have a lot of thoughts. In the early 90s, Liu Yun had just retired from the Bayi team and entered a state-owned enterprise. As an employee of a state-owned enterprise, he has no worries about food and clothing. In his spare time, he enjoys watching football with his colleagues. Manchester United's class of 92, I don't know how many good youth memories have left him.

The next day, the BBC TV "David Show" studio.

The host, David, is in his thirties and sits on a couch in the center of the studio. His eyes are cunning, and at first glance he looks like a host with a bad stomach.

Liu Yun sat next to David.

"The David Show" is a live talk show. Whatever the guests say is what they say, and there will never be post-editing. I don't know how many British singers, movie stars, and sports stars have planted on David's mouth.

The live broadcast officially began.

"Aha, another enjoyable weekend. Welcome to The David Show. Am I the host David? Allan. Our guest today is the captain of the English Second Coventry team, the 'old lieutenant' Liu. He had just scored twice in the FA Cup quarter-finals to lead his side to a win over Reds Liverpool. The people of Coventry called him 'The Great Old Lieutenant'. Welcome. David came with an opening remark.

"Thank you," Liu Yun said politely.

David asked Liu Yun, "Liu, first of all, I want to ask, is your age really forty-five years old?" ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes." Forty-five years old. ”

David smiled: "Since I was born, I have heard that no one in China can play football. I still think so. ”

"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter from the auditorium in the studio.

Liu Yun asked rhetorically: "How can you conclude that no one in Huaguo can play football?" ”

David listed a series of statistics: "As far as I know, the Chinese national team has only entered the World Cup finals once. Three games, three losses, conceded 9 goals and scored 0 goals. The FIFA ranking of the Chinese national team has also been hovering around 75-85。。。。。 ”

Liu Yun smiled and listened to David list a series of data.

Then, Liu Yun said: "In my impression, the table tennis teams of European countries have not won any good results in the Olympic Games and World Championships. has been beaten by Asian teams, especially the Chinese team. But Europe has produced table tennis stars like Bol and Waldner. Is it possible to conclude that because the national team has not achieved good results, it can be concluded that no one in Europe can play table tennis? ”

David's heart trembled. He has always been proud of making a fool of himself on the show. This time, though, he felt like he had a tough opponent.

David asked again, "Okay." Do you think you can play? ”

Liu Yun replied: "It depends on what your definition of 'kicking' is. Three-year-old babies can also kick the ball with their feet. Do they know how to play? ”

David hastened to explain: "I mean, how do you think your level compares to the English players? ”

Liu Yun replied: "A great man in China once said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I haven't played in the FA's top three leagues. I can't say how good I am compared to the players in this third division. All I can say is that I'm super top compared to the level of the players in the fourth division! ”

It is by no means an exaggeration for a temporary shooter king in English League Two to say this. Liu Yun's answer was watertight.

"Quack, quack... The audience applauded Liu Yun's sharp answer.

David smiled at Liu Yun.

"You are said to have a sixteen-year-old daughter studying in Birmingham?" David took the conversation beyond football.

"That's right." Liu Yun replied.

David seemed to grasp the handle: "Does this mean that the education level of China is far inferior to that of the United Kingdom?" How else would you bring your daughter to school in the UK? ”

Liu Yun now has to say an impassioned lie: "We have a saying in Huaguo, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books." It is said that no matter how much education a person receives, it is better to go out of the house and see the world. That's why I brought my daughter to the UK. ”

Liu Yun's answer was fine. David couldn't hold on to him.

"You're forty-five years old. How long do you think you'll be in good shape? David asked.

Liu Yun asked rhetorically: "Do you think your next blink will you blink your left eye or your right eye?" Those who can predict the future are prophets. I'm not a prophet, so I can't predict the future. ”

David? Alan loves to blink when he hosts the show. Liu Yun grasped such a small detail and skillfully answered David's question.

David asked a dozen tricky and outlandish questions, and Liu Yun used the wisdom of the Chinese people to answer them skillfully.

David was a little disappointed, and there had never been a star who had come to his show as a guest without suffering a bit of a dumb loss.

In the end, David hopes to teach Liu Yun a lesson with an ethical stalk.

"We all know that after scoring against Liverpool, you made a heart-shaped celebration. According to later media reports, this celebration was dedicated to Mrs. Hudson, the landlord, who was in her seventies and was seriously ill. Does that mean you love her? ”

In English, the word "LOVE" has many meanings. It can be used between couples, friends, and elders.

If Liu Yun replied "I don't love it", it would seem that he was very cold-blooded. If Liu Yun answers "love", it will cause people to misunderstand uncleanness.

Liu Yun replied with a sentence, which made the audience applaud thunderously:

"Yes, I love Mrs. Hudson. Just like David, you love your own mother! ”
