Chapter 575 £1 loan fee, £1 transfer fee
The FA Cup final was played at Wembley Stadium and the Champions League final was played at Polskig Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
In other words, this season, all Manchester United's games at Old Trafford have come to an end.
The Old Trafford stadium is closed. The staff nervously set up the stage for the Quadruple Crown celebration at the Theater of Dreams.
With two finals to come, United have a quadruple in their sights.
The news of Liu Yun's possible move to Coventry City in the summer has not yet been announced, and Manchester United and Coventry have already begun to discuss the details of the transfer.
Woodward believes that if the news of the old lieutenant's move to Coventry City is announced, Red Devils fans will definitely not accept it emotionally. Today's old lieutenant is the god of Old Trafford in the eyes of Red Devils fans!
Woodward came up with a compromise. Liu Yun returned to Coventry on loan. In doing so, it was a way of telling fans that the old lieutenant had not left Manchester United. If United were in need, the old lieutenant would not hesitate to return to Old Trafford.
Of course, this is just a consolation for the fans.
Regarding the rental fee, it is a symbolic £1! If the current Ballon d'Or winner really had to count the loan fee – ten Coventry City clubs couldn't afford it.
Liu Yun's weekly salary is 300,000 euros at Manchester United. At the beginning of the season, in order to survive the collapse of the stock price with the team, he voluntarily asked for his weekly salary to be cut in half.
The weekly salary of the loan player should be paid by the loan team, namely Coventry.
But the combined weekly salary of all the players in Coventry's entire team is not as high as Liu Yun alone. Coventry can't afford Liu Yun's sky-high weekly salary.
Liu Yun didn't care. If it's for the money, stay at Manchester United! His agent, Goodman, had warned him: If you join the third tier of England, your endorsement fee will be drastically reduced! Many companies will even initiate an unexpected clause in the endorsement contract – simply terminate your endorsement contract.
Going to Coventry, Liu Yun is to fulfill his dream - to lead a civilian team to become a strong team like Maradona back then.
Chasing dreams and talking about money is too bad.
Liu Yun generously told Manchester United chairman Woodward: My weekly salary in Coventry is a symbolic £1.
With a £1 loan fee and £1 salary, he ushered in a Ballon d'Or winner and last season's Champions League double Premier League Golden Boot. Coventry seems to have received a pie falling from the sky.
Manchester United's public relations department even prepared an announcement on Liu Yun's official website on loan to Coventry. The Red Devils' press officer changed his draft six times in an attempt to reassure United fans as much as possible in the announcement.
Back in Coventry, everything is left to Manchester United to win the last two trophies of the season.
FA Cup rivals Liverpool finished fifth in the league this season. Only qualified for the Europa League once. The Reds have not tasted the title for too long.
Before the game, Reds coach Jurgen Klopp said that he would do his best to stop Manchester United's quadruple at Wembley Stadium! Liverpool will do everything in their power to secure the team's only trophy this season.
When Uncle Klopp said this, he was actually very empty. In Chinese dialect, he called going to the cemetery in the middle of the night to sing a little song, and he gave himself courage.
Uncle Scum vaguely remembers the scene when the old lieutenant came on the pitch with a gunshot wound in last season's Double Red Cross to help Manchester United defeat Liverpool.
In the eyes of Uncle Scum, the old lieutenant is an unconquerable tough guy! With this man on the field, no opponent dares to say that he can beat Manchester United.
What's more, today's Manchester United still has the best newcomer in the Premier League and the new Golden Boot? With the world's top striker Robert Lewandowski? Possessing a dog-like Hummels? Lightning-fast Bellerin? Two top beast waists, Nemanja Matic, Pogba。。。。。 When you think about it, it seems that Manchester United is a world-class star in any position today. There are no flaws in any position.
Reds and Liverpool are preparing for the FA Cup final under Jurgen Klopp's leadership.
United's players have been remarkably relaxed. On this day, on the outdoor training ground of the Catington training base, Mourinho led a group of disciples to play a game of target shooting.
The so-called target shooting game is to place 30 metal beer bottles on the bottom line. Players can choose to attack the bottle at any distance. Whoever knocks down the bottle in the furthest position wins.
As Mu Shuai expected, the old lieutenant with the best footwork in the team won the victory.
Pogba shrugged his shoulders: "Roar, there is no suspense at all in the target shooting game with the participation of the old lieutenant!" I suggest that the old lieutenant be eliminated in the future target shooting game! ”
At the end of the game, everyone sat around the turf to rest and chat.
Nemanja said: "Old lieutenant, next season, I advise you not to wear your red shooting boots again!" How nice would it be to change your race boots to gold? That's what makes a Golden Globe winner special. ”
Wearing gold shooting boots is a Manchester United tradition. Only striker legends like Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy are eligible to wear the golden shooting boots at the Theatre of Dreams. Cristiano Ronaldo got carried away after scoring twice in one game, and wore a golden shooting boot in the next game, and was almost beaten into a pig's head by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Liu Yun was stunned: Next season?
In order not to affect the mood of his teammates preparing for the FA Cup and Champions League finals, Liu Yun did not tell everyone about his plans to go to Coventry during the summer break.
Among his teammates, only Qu Bai knew the news.
This was revealed to his girlfriend Liu Xiaoyan when he was dating.
Regarding Liu Yun's transfer, Qu Bai's heart is very conflicted.
Selfishly, if the old lieutenant were to leave Coventry, it would be a good thing for Qu Bai. His main position in the forward line will be more solid. It is even possible that he will become United's new leader in attack.
But when it comes to his feelings for his idol Liu Yun, Qu Bai is eager to fight side by side with his Uncle Liu.
When Nemanja Matic mentioned the matter of the golden shooting boots, Mourinho also had an embarrassed expression on his face.
The old lieutenant is going to be sent to Coventry during the summer break! What kind of golden shooting boots are also worn.
The transfer of the old lieutenant is the last thing that the magic bird wants to see. If Liu Yun transferred to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern and other giants, Mu Shuai would definitely do his best to stop it.
The old lieutenant did not forget his original intention and chose to return to his starting point in European football - Coventry, a weak team in the third division. In order to repay the team that helped him, he resolutely gave up his high salary, what kind of noble personality is this? What a great man this is?
And how could Mourinho stop the old lieutenant?
Liu Yun didn't want to talk about "next season", he changed the subject: "Shakhtar Donetsk is a strong dark horse. They caused us problems in the knockout stages of the Champions League last season. The Champions League final is in Poland, which in turn borders Ukraine. If nothing else, there will be a large influx of Ukrainian fans into Warsaw, and the Polskig Stadium in Warsaw will become the home of Shakhtar Donetsk. ”
Liu Yun's worries are actually groundless.
He forgot that in China, he had hundreds of millions of followers.
And Huaguo, now lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of rich people. Money can make ghosts grind, and naturally you can also get a large number of Champions League final tickets.
