Liu Yun came to the Coventry Notre Dame Hospital alone.

After some inquiry, he found the ward where old George was staying. Push the door in, the bed is empty. Old George wasn't there at all. Liu Yun's first reaction was, should old George have already traveled west?

A nurse walked over. Liu Yun asked, "Hello, miss." The patients in this ward。。。。。 ”

The nurse recognized the city hero of Coventry in front of her at a glance: "Old lieutenant? Are you here for Coach George? He had already left the hospital last night. Despite the doctor's patience and dissuasion, he left our hospital. ”

Liu Yun asked the nurse, "Miss, can you tell me what the extent of Coach George's condition has been?" ”

The nurse was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, old lieutenant, this is the patient's personal privacy. ”

Liu Yun nodded, turned around and prepared to leave. The nurse stopped him, "All right. Old lieutenant. During his stay in the hospital, Coach George told us more than once about your time in Coventry. Talk about the goals you scored in the FA Cup。。。。。 I think he sees you as his own family. If you are a relative of the patient, you have the right to know the patient's condition. ”

The nurse lowered her voice and said, "The doctor has asked Coach George to stop chemotherapy. Because that will not prolong his life, it will only deepen his suffering. The most optimistic estimate, at most, he still has half a year to go. ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Thank you." ”

Coming out of the Hospital of Our Lady, Liu Yun thought of a place. He was convinced that old George would definitely appear in that place.

Liu Yun hailed a taxi and went straight to Ricoh Stadium.

Liu Yun walked into the Ricoh Arena. Assistant coach Edda is leading the players in training with Coventry. Liu Yun glanced up at the stands. In the empty stands, a lonely person sits. It was the terminally ill old George.

Liu Yun walked up to the stands. "Hey, Coach George!"

After not seeing George Sr. for months, the old English gentleman seemed to be a different person. His cheeks were thin and his complexion was sallow. The only thing that hasn't changed is the decent dress and the cigar in your mouth.

"Hey, old lieutenant. Welcome home. Old George barely squeezed out a smile at Liu Yun.

Faced with a terminally ill patient, Liu Yun didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Old George opened his mouth first, and he raised the cigar in his hand: "Pure Cuban cigar, good thing." At the end of each game, sitting in the Ricoh Stadium and smoking a cigar quietly was the best enjoyment of my life. Unfortunately, maybe it's something like this that has made my cancer cells rebel. ”

Liu Yun didn't know how to answer for a while. After a long time, he popped up: "Coach George." You should now go to the hospital to recuperate in peace. ”

Old George shook his head: "Heh, it doesn't matter if you go to the hospital or not." I want to spend the last days of my life with my players and with this stadium. I've been with this team for half my life. My biggest wish now is to lead the team to a top-10 finish at the end of the season. At the beginning of the season, I set the goal of relegation. Now we have achieved this goal ahead of schedule. The new target is in the top 10. We're a small club and we don't have a lot of money to buy big players. If you can break into the top 10 at the end of the season, it will be a result that will satisfy the fans. ”

Old George was dying, and he was now completely open. It's time to smoke cigars, it's time to lead the team to play. Enjoy the rest of your life.

Old George suddenly asked Liu Yun: "If I remember correctly, there is still more than a month before your 47th birthday, right?" ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes, Coach George, how do you know?" ”

George Sr. laughed and said, "You are now a superstar of Manchester United, and your memory is much worse." You forgot? Your 46th birthday is celebrated by all of us at Coventry. I also sang 'Happy Po Day to You' for you with them. ’”

Liu Yun smiled dumbly: "Yes." I still remember the day when the Department of Labor approved my application for a special genius provision. ”

Old George leisurely exhaled a smoke ring: "Yes, special genius clause... It's like yesterday. When people get older, they always feel that time flies too quickly. Human life is so short. It seems that the child who went to school yesterday held his mother's hand has come to write a will today. ”

Old George stood up and stretched: "What a nice weather." Liu, I want to tell you that the moment Coventry lifted the FA Cup last summer was the best and happiest moment of my life. ”

Liu Yun stared at the former teammates who were doing physical training on the court, and sighed: "It is also the best and happiest moment of my life. ”

George Sr. looked at Liu Yun: "Liu, a man who is almost 47 years old, has scored 46 goals in one season in the Premier League and 21 goals in the Champions League. This is a miracle that the Lord has given to the earth. You are one of the lucky ones who has won the favor of the Lord. ”

George Sr. was telling the truth. A 47-year-old who swept across Europe this season, setting new goal records one after another. Not to mention the Premier League's single-season goal record. The all-time Champions League goal record was held by Cristiano Ronaldo with 17 goals in 11 games before this season. And Liu Yun has scored a full 21 goals before the semifinals are over! Even Matthews back then couldn't reach the height of Liu Yun.

Liu Yun said to old George: "Sometimes before going to bed, I think about how lucky I am. Two years ago at this time, I was selling breakfast in a second-tier city in China. When I woke up, I was already a star in the Premier League. Along the way, there are so many people who have helped me, and there are too many people I want to thank. ”

Old George laughed and said, "No, the person who should be thanked the most is not someone else, but yourself!" Choosing to return to the green field at the age of 45 requires extraordinary courage and amazing perseverance. You did it, so you're the only old lieutenant in the whole world. ”

Old George pointed to the people inside: "Liu, look at those people." They have the same dreams as you. They are also fighting for their dreams. However, there is no one in ten thousand who can truly realize their dreams! ”

At the end of the group training, George Sr. stepped down from the stands and walked towards his disciples. The sun was shining, and the back of old George disappeared into the sunlight.

。。。。。。。

Returning from Coventry, Liu Yun felt a lot of emotion. He was silent in the living room.

Isabella walked over and asked Liu Yun, "Liu, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Yun looked at his wife: "I'm thinking, who am I, where am I from, and where am I going." ”

Isabella looked at Liu Yun in surprise: "Liu, this question has been studied by countless philosophers since ancient times. This is the most unfathomable problem in the world we live in. Is my husband going to be a philosopher? ”

Liu Xiaoyan leaned over and said a word, which made Liu Yun laugh dumbly: "Ha, when I was in school in Handong, the school's security guard had to ask countless people this ultimate philosophical question every day: Who are you?" Where are you from? Where are you going? "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
