Liu Yun walked out of the office with an angry face and went directly to the training ground, almost like a chicken, dragging the tall and tall Billy to the field.

The young men on the training ground looked at each other: they had never seen the old lieutenant make such a big fire!

The old lieutenant has always been a kind elder in their eyes.

But today, what's wrong with the old lieutenant? Rough like an angry lion.

Liu Yun dragged Billy to the stands.

Liu Yun directly questioned Billy: "Last game against Arsenal, your opening low-level mistake - was it intentional?" ”

Billy looked directly at the old lieutenant. He didn't want to lie to the old lieutenant, who was also a teacher and friend: "Yes." ”

With that, Billy lowered his head.

"You bet on William Hill? Won £4 million? ”

Billy was ashamed and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Yun directly grabbed Billy's jersey collar: "Why? ”

Billy told the truth.

Billy, a young man, is quite popular with women, and he himself is romantic. During the summer break, he met a beautiful Chinese woman. Go to Macau with this beauty. The beauty took him to visit the Pujing Shellfish Field. On the first day, Billy exchanged tens of thousands of pounds in chips and won three times。。。。。。 Four days later, Billy owed £19 million to the "code dealer" in the Primeshells.

Billy didn't earn much before Coventry was promoted to the Premier League. Coventry won the double last year. He has received a lot of endorsements, and his weekly salary is also rising. Last year, he earned almost £10 million in after-tax income.

He went back to England and took £10 million to pay off his debts. With 9 million pounds left, Macau's international professional code makers are not in a hurry to urge. Because they know that a promising Premier League superstar like Billy can definitely afford £9 million. It's just a matter of time.

Billy wanted to pay off his debts quickly, so he came up with a way to bet on the first corner. Anyway, whoever gets the first corner has nothing to do with the outcome of the game. It's not game rigging. Didn't those predecessors in the Premier League make a little money through this method before?

Billy ignores one fact. His predecessors really made a small amount of money of a few thousand pounds a game.

He bets millions of pounds at a time, and the actuaries at William Hill are not fools!

So, William Hill hired a private investigator to get to the bottom of the bettors — knowing that it was all Billy's work. They complained directly to the FA.

Liu Yun couldn't wait to slap Billy twice: "Billy! Have you had your brain eaten by zombies? Stupid! Stupid outrageous! You're only 22 years old, and as long as you play football well, you can make more than 10 9 million pounds? Also, if you're short on money, you can tell me! If the FA finds evidence of this – it will ban you for life, you know? ”

Billy muttered, "I'm too embarrassed to tell you about it. ”

Liu Yun really doesn't want to see a promising young man ruin his career because of a mistake made in a moment of confusion.

It is true that players who participate in gambling will be banned for life. Such a provision is in line with ethical standards.

But Billy, the "child", almost grew up step by step as Liu Yun watched.

Liu Yun made up his mind to help Billy get through this.

He found a man - the underground emperor of the West Midlands, the godfather Anthony.

Liu Yun sent him a text message: "Anthony, I need your help. ”

Anthony replied almost immediately: "Old lieutenant, my friend. Where are you now? ”

Liu Yun replied: "At Ricoh Stadium." ”

More than an hour later, Liu Yun received another message from Anthony: "I am now in the parking lot outside the Ricoh Arena. Black elongated Lincoln. Come to me. ”

Liu Yun came to the parking lot, found the extended Lincoln, and got into the car.

He told Anthony about Billy.

After hearing this, Anthony thought for a moment: "Now, the only way to save bad boy Billy from the FA's punishment is to contact William Hill and ask William Hill to withdraw his complaint with the FA." ”

Liu Yun said: "I have never been involved in any gambling business. I can't talk to William Hill. ”

Anthony said, "It's not that hard. I was able to reach William Hill. ”

In the UK, bookmakers are legalized. The markets offered by William Hill are also in accordance with English law.

Legal is legal, where it comes to the word "gambling", all bookmakers will have an unpleasant side.

Anyone who plays ball knows that there is a thing called a "perimeter plate". That is, illegal off-court betting.

In the UK, the people who engage in peripheral trading are usually gangs such as the Blood Gang.

And the people who engage in peripheral markets have maintained an ambiguous relationship with the gaming company. The two complement each other and depend on each other.

Anthony made a few phone calls and reached out to Vladimir, the godfather of the Russian mafia in London.

Vladimir and Anthony once cooperated on a certain business, and he owed Anthony a favor because of that business.

Vladimir agreed to help Anthony contact William Hill.

Two days later, Anthony returned to Coventry from London.

He found Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant, if you want to help the bad boy Billy, you have to do it now." The first thing, his bet, cost William Hill £4 million. He had to come up with the £4 million and transfer the money safely to William Hill's books through my means. The second thing he had to do was to sign an agreement with William Hill to never bet on the handicap that William Hill opened – and of course his family. After these two things are done, William Hill will drop the complaint against Billy at the FA for the sake of my friend's face. ”

Liu Yun nodded: "It's not difficult. Billy would agree. Now there is still a question. He owes a debt of 9 million to the Macau Shell Farm. I hope to take out 9 million from my money to pay off his debts. However, I don't know if it's legal to do so. British banks have a strict review system for the transfer of large sums of money. ”

Anthony said: "Macau? I have a few friends from the Portuguese side, I'll give it a try. ”

The day before he flew to Watford, Anthony finally wrote back to Liu Yun.

It was still in the parking lot outside Ricoh Stadium that the two met.

Anthony said, "Old lieutenant, I've got in touch. I'll give you the account of a charitable foundation in Macau. You put £9 million into this account. Billy's debt problem is settled with that of Macau. ”

Liu Yun seemed a little worried: "Charity fund account. This charitable fund is used to launder money, right? ”

Anthony laughed: "Old lieutenant, every industry, has its own industry skills. About money laundering. I can tell you that half of the world's charitable funds are used to launder money! This charity fund will transfer 9 million pounds through a charity auction. There will never be a problem. That's what they do, and they're responsible for their customers' reputation. ”

After Liu Yun heard this, he took out his mobile phone and called his financial advisor.

Anthony said, "Liu, my friend, it's an honor to be able to help you. Okay, I'm leaving. If there is anything you can't solve in the future, remember to text me. ”

After Anthony left, Liu Yun found Billy and told him what had happened.

Billy was moved and didn't know what to say.

Liu Yun said: "Needless to say, words of gratitude. Play well. People can make mistakes when they are young, but don't fall twice in the same place. I think the Chinese beauty who took you to Macau was probably not a good person. I've been eyeing your money for a long time. ”

Premier League second round, Watford vs Coventry.

It was a no-brainer game. In the opening 20 minutes, Liu Yun jumped to the top and took the lead for Coventry. 1：0！

For the next 25 minutes of the first half, Coventry were out of luck. None of the four dangerous shots went into the net.

First Half ended, Coventry City 1:0 Watford.

In the second half, Coventry continued to attack. In the 59th minute, Liu Yun shot in the penalty area and broke Watford's goal again. 2：0！ The old lieutenant scored twice!

In the 73rd minute, Tamanla scored the winning goal. 3：0！

As the referee's whistle blew, Coventry City took all three points away from Watford's home stadium.

It was a game without any bright spots. There is no suspense for the winner to win, and there is no suspense for the loser to lose.

However, after the game, the match attracted the attention of the media. The media focus is not on Coventry or Watford, but on referee Clattenburg.

In order to be able to get to the famous singer Ed Sheeran's concert in time for the game, Clattenburg chose to drive himself to Watford's home stadium.

In order to ensure the integrity of referees and personal safety, the FA stipulates that before the start of a Premier League match, the referee and the assistant referee must go to the playing field at the same time and leave the playing field at the same time.

As a result, fan Clattenberg was banned for seven games!

Back in Coventry, Liu Yun attended an exhibition on the history of English football organised by St Anfrey's College in Coventry. St. Anfe College is also the alma mater of Liu Yun's eldest daughter. Liu Yun still has to give this face.

Liu Yun visited one photo after another at St. Amfi's School.

There was a photo of an English football trivia section that piqued his interest.

"Can a goalkeeper take a goal kick and score a goal? The answer is yes. In 1923, Manchester United hosted New Zealand. Manchester United goalkeeper Williams has a wide waist and thick legs, and his feet are strong. He kicked the ball hard and shot it out. The opposing goalkeeper crossed his hands and was laughing with a team-mate. At this time, a gust of wind suddenly hanged, and the ball took advantage of the wind and went directly into the opponent's goal. The referee declares the score valid. ”

Does a goalkeeper score when a goal kick goes into the opponent's net? Liu Yun couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he had heard of it.

"In 1923, England faced a visiting Swiss team. England centre-forward Hookes has an impressive arm and throws a throw-in from the sidelines of the penalty area. He framed the ball with his right hand and threw it like a discus. The ball is like an arrow off the string, heading straight for the opponent's goal. The opposing goalkeeper was defenseless and could only watch the ball into the net. Finally, the referee declared the goal valid. However, the FA immediately set a new rule: throwing a throw-in with both hands, high above the head, and directly into the net does not count as a score. ”

"The first form of soccer was played in the 17th century. There is no limit to the number of people who can play on the pitch, and there are thousands of them at every turn. Start in a square on the outskirts and kick all the way to the city; Kick off in the morning and kick it until dusk and sunset, and then end with a lot of fun. Thousands of people won the same ball, and often broke their hands and fractures, and the tragic scene was full of misery. On the day of the game, people inside and outside the city panicked. Housewives, in particular, were even more frightened and did not allow their children to go out. In 1733, the government had to issue an order prohibiting English from playing football again. It wasn't until someone organized the club and formulated the rules that it was restored. ”

Was it forbidden to play football in England in the seventeenth century? This surprised Liu Yun a lot.

After visiting the exhibition, the students of St. Anfe College took a group photo with Liu Yun. Liu Yun was surrounded by thousands of students and took two hours to get out.

After graduating from St. Anfeld's School, Liu Yun received a call from Anthony: "Bad boy Billy's affairs have been done." Let him stop worrying. ”

Liu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, Billy came to Liu Yun's house.

Billy said to Liu Yun: "I owe you £9 million. Please believe that I will pay it back. ”

Liu Yun smiled at Billy: "With your current competitive level, you will soon be among the top goalkeepers in the world." £9 million will be a small sum of money for you by then. I believe that you will be able to pay me back. ”

Billy almost choked up and said, "You helped me." I was so stupid that I almost ruined my own career. ”

Liu Yun said to Billy seriously: "Remember, child, boys don't flick when they have tears." I already said it to you the other day, and I want to thank me. Playing well is the biggest thank you for me. ”

In fact, Liu Yun also sweated in his heart at this time. It was through his gangster connections that he helped Billy escape from the FA and British Sports Federation investigations. He didn't know what it would be like if the media knew about it.

In the six years he has been in the UK, he has always been a moral role model in the football circle.

Now, the moral role model wants to use the gangster connections to help his teammates get away with it?

Summer is gone, and early autumn has arrived.

In September, Coventry City made a triumphant run in the Premier League.

In the third round, Coventry City 4:1 West Ham United.

Fourth round, Liverpool 0:1 Coventry.

Coventry have won five league games in a row.

The real test of the league has finally arrived. In the sixth round, Coventry will challenge Blue Moon Manchester City away!

Manchester City has been pressed by their rivals Manchester United for several years. This season, they are hoping to make a breakthrough in the league and they have spent a lot of money on big names in the transfer window.

Now, in the standings, Coventry City has won 5 consecutive games and is in first place with 15 points. Manchester City have won 4 and drawn 1, with 13 points, and Manchester United is in second place with 12 points. Manchester United are third with 12 points.

Manchester City fans seem to see hope for a resurgence in the blue moon.

Before the game, Manchester City's official website put up a poster of the game, and the poster had a striking slogan: End the dark horse, end Coventry, end the old lieutenant. Coventry helps us prove that Manchester City are on a revival.

Coventry's official website gave a-for-tat poster of the game: I can't help you, we will step on the shoulders of the blue moon to continue the victory.

Two days before the start of the game, Liu Yun came to Manchester with the team.

Back then, Liu Yun was Manchester's city hero. Old Trafford, there are too many memories of him.

Now that he came to Manchester, Liu Yun simply took a few hours off from manager Eda and went to Old Trafford to see his old friends: Mourinho, Bart, Woodward, Pogba... And, of course, his son-in-law Qu Bai.
