Chapter 104: I can't look down on Liu Yun
After the meeting, the four of them sat down. When both sides say a word, the translator translates a sentence.
Eda asked like a cannon: "Mr. Liu Yun, what is your age this year?" Please be accurate to the month. β
Liu Yun thought for a moment and replied, "Forty-five years and six months. β
Eda asked: "Did you train in professional football as a young man?" β
Liu Yun nodded: "I was trained in the Bayi team before the age of twenty-five. β
After the translation explained, Eda figured out the nature of the Bayi team.
Eda said: "You mean, you played in your country's army team? β
Liu Yun replied: "Yes." β
Eda asked, "What is your job after the age of twenty-five?" β
Liu Yun replied: "Sell breakfast and work as a cleaner." Until the age of forty-five, that is, this year. I first joined a district-level amateur football team, and then went to the third-class team Huhai Dongxing, and participated in the Huabing National Finals with the team. β
Edda pondered: "That is, in the twenty years from the age of twenty-five to forty-five, you have never played in any professional team and have not received any training?" β
Liu Yun replied: "Yes." β
Eda said, "Mr. Liu." It's really admirable to be back on the green field at the age of forty-five. But frankly, you haven't played in 20 years. Too old to be physically fit for the fierce competition in League Two. The tournament in which you won the honors of Top Scorer and Most Valuable Player is only the fourth division of your country. And I have heard that in your country's league system, the fourth division is only an amateur leagueγγγγγγ While I admire your courage to get back into the game, you don't seem to be able to help us Coventry. In short, it was a pleasure to meet you. β
Eda said to Hao Hexi: "Mr. Hao, it seems that I can only go to Africa to buy a cheap and practical African player." β
Edda's meaning is very clear, that is, he rejected Liu Yun!
Hao Hexi on the side was anxious! Hao Hexi said to Ada: "Mr. Ada, I swear by the reputation of the former Asian Footballer of the Year, Liu Yun is absolutely capable of playing in League Two, at least as a substitute, he is absolutely capable of rewriting the score at critical moments!" β
Eda shrugged: "The head coach asked me to come to East Asia looking for a main striker, not a substitute. β
Hao Hexi said categorically: "Mr. Edda, as a former Asian footballer, a former Asian No. 1 striker, and a player with more than 20 years of experience, I ask you to stay in Zhuhai for one more day. My team has a bye in this round of the league and tomorrow we have a warm-up game. In the warm-up match, I plan to start Liu Yun. I cordially invite you to attend the game. Zhuhai is a beautiful coastal city, and an extra day is like giving yourself a day off. Is that okay? β
Hao Hexi said all the good things in order to keep Edda.
Although Chinese football is very weak, Hao Hexi has always been the former Asian Footballer. When an intercontinental former footballer invited Eda to watch a warm-up match, Eda seemed to find no reason to refuse.
Edda said, "Okay, then I'll stay one more day and watch your team's warm-up game." But I'll make it clear up front that a warm-up game shouldn't change my mind. Don't get your hopes up and this player of yours. β
Hao Hexi excitedly shook Ada's hand: "Thank you, Mr. Edda." On behalf of my players, I thank you. β
Eda returns to the hotel. Liu Yun said to Hao Hexi: "Director Hao, it seems that that foreigner is not interested in me. Besides, playing football in the UKγγγγγγ I don't have a bottom in my heart. YOYO can't pass the physical test, don't be ashamed to throw people abroad. β
Hao Hexi shook his head: "Lao Liu, your football career in Huaguoγγγγγγγ At the moment when YOYO was out, it was basically broken. You're forty-five, how long can you play again? How much time do you have to prepare for the test? If you want to continue to stay on the green field, there is only one way to go abroad! Don't think about it so much, just play well in tomorrow's warm-up game! I'll take care of the rest! β
Liu Yun said to Hao Hexi gratefully: "Director Hao, thank you." Regardless of the final outcome, I thank you for thinking so much about me! β
Hao Hexi patted Liu Yun on the shoulder: "Lao Liu, you are a person with extraordinary courage and perseverance. I admire you, so help you! Well, go back and get some rest and get ready for tomorrow's warm-up game! β
In fact, the "warm-up game" in Hao Hexi's mouth was not originally in the team's plan. After Liu Yun left, he first dialed the phone number of Zhuhai Sports School and invited the Zhuhai Sports School team to participate in the warm-up match tomorrow. On the sports school's side, it is naturally 10,000 happy to be able to play friendly matches with the Chinese league team.
This warm-up match organized by Hao Hexi, to put it bluntly, was played for Liu Yun alone.
Hao Hexi drove to Xu Wen's office at the headquarters of the Sea Soul Group in Zhujiang City. He first told Eda about coming to the Pearl River, and then said: "Mr. Xu, you must support this matter!" β
Xu Wen hesitated. It's easy to spend a small price of 600,000 yuan to invite Liu Yun, an Internet big V, as a spokesperson, and he will be released to the UK immediately? He was somewhat reluctant.
Hao Hexi didn't know Xu Wen for a day or two, so he naturally understood his temperament that he couldn't afford to be early: "Mr. Xu, my old Xu!" Think about it, how many players are there in China right now? One slap counts! And most of them are carrying water dispensers in Europe! Although Coventry City is a team in the fourth tier of England, it is also a European team! How big of a news is it for a 45-year-old from a Chinese league team to move to a European team? How much of a sensation can it cause? How much visibility can it increase for the Sea Soul team and the Sea Soul Group? How much advertising effect can it have? Mr. Xu, have you considered these things? β
Xu Wen was moved by Hao Hexi's words. Yes, as soon as this news comes out, it will be explosive news. Today's enterprises invest tens of millions of dollars in brand marketing. But if it's big news that can make headlines, it's different, you don't have to spend a penny on advertising, not to mention, such positive news can also bring unprecedented popularity to your Sea Soul Group!
Xu Wen smiled: "Okay." Xiao Hao, I promise you to let Liu Yun go to the UK. Not only will I let him go to the UK, but the club will fully support him to go to the UK! You tell the English scout that if it's a transfer, Coventry only has to pay a nominal amount of one euro. If it is a rental form, the rental fee is 0! The rental salary is paid by Liu Yun's parent team, our Pearl River Sea Soul Team. Liu Yun's current salary is 600,000 yuan per year, and I raised him to an annual salary of 1 million. The Coventry team is only responsible for Liu Yun's living expenses in the UK. For example, rent, medical care, food expenses, etc. β
Xu Wen suddenly remembered something, and he asked Hao Hexi: "By the way, I recently read the news that the Premier League has a labor certification system and the like." Liu Yun's transfer or loan to Coventry will not be stumped by this labor certification, right? β
This was something Hao Hexi didn't take into account, and he said to Xu Wen: "Mr. Xu, I'll call my friend and ask." β
Hao Hexi called Sun Jihai.
Sun Jihai said to him affirmatively on the phone: "The Premier League, the Championship, and the League One have a strict labor certification system. However, League Two and the following seven leagues are not covered by the labour certification system. β
Hao Hexi breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is ready, only tomorrow's warm-up game is missing, Liu Yun has played well to conquer Scout Edda!
