The caller was Liu Yun's agent, Goodman.

Goodman said on the other end of the phone: "Liu, there is an invitation to a TV show now, I don't know if you are interested." ”

Liu Yun asked, "What TV show?" ”

Goodman's answer surprised Liu Yun: "Britain's Got Talent." ”

Liu Yun thought for a moment and replied: "The team is preparing for the Champions League quarterfinals. I guess I'd better not spend too much energy on these things that have nothing to do with football. ”

Goodman said, "Okay. Then I pushed down the invitation for this charity event. ”

Liu Yun was a little confused: "Wait? Charity? Isn't it Britain's Got Talent? How did it turn into a charity event again? ”

Goodman replied: "Britain's Got Talent and the UK-Africa Charities Foundation have organised a 'Football Love' campaign. All proceeds from one of the episodes were used to buy 200,000 soccer balls to give to children in poor African countries. They want you, the Premier League's hottest goalscorer this season, to be part of the campaign. Also participating in this event is David Beckham. ”

When it comes to charity, Liu Yun has a little thought. He has seen videos of children in destitute countries in Africa tying rags and plastic bottles into "footballs" to kick. Those children love football, but don't have the money to buy the cheapest football.

The older Liu Yun gets, the more he believes in the saying that helping others will be rewarded. At the beginning, if it weren't for the help of Seinfeld, Zhao Qiyou, and Hao Hexi, Liu Yun would not have become the current old lieutenant of Manchester United. Of course, later when Seinfeld and Zhao Qiyou were in trouble, Liu Yun also selflessly helped them.

With 200,000 soccer balls, how many children in African countries can fulfill the cheapest dream?

However, Liu Yun can already imagine that once he participates in this event, he will inevitably be sprayed by those Chinese trolls on Weibo. He could even imagine how the trolls attacked him:

"Children in Africa can't eat, so who cares about a few broken footballs?"

"Holy! Disgusting! ”

However, Liu Yun thought about it again, and he felt that he should not care too much about other people's comments. Just do what you think is right and be worthy of your conscience!

Liu Yun said to Goodman: "Okay, I accept this offer. ”

Goodman said, "This offer is not paid, Liu, are you sure?" ”

Liu Yun replied, "I'm sure." ”

In order to participate in this episode of Britain's Got Talent, Liu Yun specially asked Mourinho for a day off. Manchester United are preparing for the knockout stages of the Champions League. If it were anything else, Mourinho would not have granted a holiday. However, Europeans are keen on philanthropy. What's more, at the same time, there is also Manchester United's 92 class veteran Beckham? Liu Yun explained the situation to Mourinho, and Mourinho happily agreed.

Two days later, London, the UK's Got Talent was recorded.

The recording location of this episode of Britain's Got Talent is not in the studio of the British independent (Harmony Your Sister) TV station, but in the White Hart Lane stadium, the home of Tottenham Hotspur in north London.

In the White Hart Lane stadium, a 600-seat audience seat was temporarily built in the stadium. In front of the auditorium, a judging stand was erected.

The show is about to begin, and the three judges of Britain's Got Talent - Simon Cowell, Pete Morgan, and Amanda Holden - are seated in turn.

According to the rules, if one of the three judges does not want to look at it, he will press the buzzer and turn on the X-light. As soon as all three judges turn on the lights, the participant is eliminated and the performance must be stopped immediately.

In the players' tunnel, Liu Yun and Beckham wore long-sleeved sweatshirts, each holding a mask in their hands and chatting. The program team asked the two to wear the same costumes on stage. and is afraid that Beckham's unique tattoo will "expose" his identity. So these two people simply changed into long-sleeved clothes.

Beckham said: "Old lieutenant, that midfield lob you scored in the first round of the Premier League against West Ham United reminded me of the summer of '96. That summer, England successfully hosted the European Championship. Victoria's hot girl group jumped to the top of the British pop charts. With the exception of the Irish and Irish armies carrying out a serious car bomb bombing in London, the whole summer of that year was just as wonderful. On August 17, 1996, I remember it was the day when I scored a midfield lob in the opening game of the Premier League that was almost exactly the same as your goal! ”

Beckham's words caused Liu Yun to fall into memory: "The summer of 1996. I was 25 years old at the time, and the final day of the European Championship had just come to an end. The next day, I took off my beloved green uniform and officially retired. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. ”

Beckham sighed: "yes. For more than 20 years, it was like a dream. I often said to Victoria: I think I'm still a kid. But..... I had to face up to the fact that I was 42 years old. For the first 20 years of my life, I fought for myself. For the next 20 years, I lived for my wife and children. ”

Liu Yun said: "Your daughter Little Seven is very cute. ”

Beckham said: "Your daughter is beautiful too. I'm also a Twitter fan of Manchester United's Little Princess. However, she seems to be very busy lately, and she hasn't updated her Twitter status for a long time. ”

REFERRING TO HER DAUGHTER, LIU YUN SAID PROUDLY: "SHE IS PREPARING FOR THE A-LEVEL EXAM." ”

Beckham said: "Really? That's great! The major events that parents have to go through are the birth of their children, going to college, and getting married. Liu, we are all happy people, because our children are slowly growing up. ”

Liu Yun stared at Beckham in front of him. The handsome young guy from Old Trafford in the 90s is now 42 years old. The original fan idol is old, and I... It's old too。。。。。 Two fathers in their 40s, chatting in the players' tunnel, it felt like they had met late.

The high-pitched voice of Britain's Got Talent host Paul Gade came from the stadium: "Here are our two challengers!" ”

Beckham said to Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant, go, it's time for us to play." ”

Liu Yun and David Beckham each put on their masks on the pitch.

"Both of these men are in their 40s and both are fathers of children. Two fathers in their forties will convince our 3 judges with their superb skills. Will they be able to challenge success? Let's wait and see. ”

In front of Liu Yun and Beckham, each has a few footballs. The staff first placed two cans 30 meters away.

Beckham and Liu Yun began to show off their footwork!

Beckham used his signature Full Moon Scimitar to hit the can 30 meters away. 、

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Judge Simon, a veteran fan, dragged his chin and said to the other two judges, "Interesting." This guy's shot has a bit of a Belleville arc flavor. ”

It was Liu Yun's turn to perform. Liu Yun didn't want to use Beckham's arc as a shooting technique in front of Beckham. Liu Yun runs, get up!

At the moment of lifting, Liu Yun's toes picked up the ball.

It turned out to be the way to shoot in a sling!

The ball crossed a high parabola and hit the can!

The audience was dumbfounded. Even Beckham, who was wearing a mask, extended a thumbs up to Liu Yun.

Compared to the full moon scimitar, it is more difficult to hit the can by hanging shot!

(After the end of the holiday, resume the update.) ）
