Post-match press conference.

Nakata was convinced: "We had a chance to win. It's a pity that Coventry has an old lieutenant! Possess this legendary man! His hat-trick shattered our hopes of victory. He is a legend in European football and the pride of Asian football! ”

This is Nakata Hidetoshi's heartfelt praise for Liu Yun.

"Old lieutenant, how do you evaluate goalkeeper Billy's repeated low-level mistakes in this game?" A reporter from The Sun asked.

Liu Yun actually protected the calf at this moment: "Young people, it's normal to have abnormal performance. His good performances in the previous dozen rounds are obvious to all. ”

"Old lieutenant, in the game that ended at the same time in this round, Manchester United were held to a draw away by Huddersfield United. Now Coventry has surpassed Manchester United with 37 points and climbed to the top of the table! Coventry City went from being considered the weakest team in the Premier League before the season to being the interim top of the table. How are you feeling at this moment? ”

Liu Yun was pleasantly surprised: "We have become the top of the list? I went to the locker room after the game, took a shower, changed my clothes, and went straight to the press room, don't you say I don't know yet! Of course, I'm very happy at the moment! Fifteen rounds of hard work by the kids on the team have finally paid off! Oh, my son-in-law won't be happy now. ”

The reporter added: "Your son-in-law Qu is now second in the scorer list with 16 goals, and there is a gap of five goals from you. What do you think of the 'son-in-law dispute' on the shooter list? ”

Liu Yun replied humorously: "I am my father-in-law, and he is my son-in-law." I've more than he's ever eaten. Isn't it normal for him to be ahead of the scorers? ”

————————

Although Liu Yun protected Billy's calf in front of the media, as the captain of Coventry and the patriarch of the young people, it was impossible for the old lieutenant not to talk to Billy.

At 6 p.m. that night, in the stands of Ricoh Stadium.

Billy and Liu Yun sat in their seats. Billy is like a child who has made mistakes. Coventry's results in the Premier League are getting better and better, and the media are chasing them. Billy subtly gave birth to a sense of superiority of a "big name".

But in front of the legendary old lieutenant of European football, Billy can't put on any big names.

Liu Yun asked Billy: "The night before the game against Brighton the day before yesterday, was it overworked with which model?" ”

Billy didn't want to lie in front of his idol – when Billy was a 14-year-old in Coventry's third-tier team, he witnessed the old lieutenant lead Coventry to lift the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium.

From the moment the old lieutenant lifted the FA Cup high, he became an eternal idol in Billy's heart.

Billy told Liu Yun the truth: "Yes. The night before the competition, I spent the night at the Four Seasons Hotel with a model in London. ”

Liu Yun stared at the pitch and asked Billy: "Billy, do you think it is important to sleep with a woman you don't necessarily love, or is it the dream of the entire Coventry team?" ”

Billy was dumbfounded.

Liu Yun turned his head and said to Billy seriously: "Child, I haven't read much. Recently I came across a quote by Oscar Wilde on Twitter: 'Life is all about sex, except sex itself.' Because sex is about power'. I don't think you're much of a model who likes to sleep with you. It's just that I feel that I have become a big-name goalkeeper in the Premier League, and I should enjoy the treatment of being a groom every night, right? ”

Liu Yun, a fifty-year-old man, can be regarded as seeing through the heart of Billy, a nineteen-year-old young man.

Billy believes that the big names in the Premier League should be surrounded by models and actresses. He joined the Coventry echelon at the age of 10 and spent nine years to become a hot goalkeeper in the Premier League, and he has paid too much. Now it's time to enjoy everything a big-name goalkeeper should enjoy.

Billy was still speechless.

Liu Yun stood up: "Let me tell your child, don't think too much about yourself!" Without Coventry, without those lovely fans of the Sky Blues, you are nothing! I- I'm nothing either! What about 14 rounds of excellent performance? As a goalkeeper, a single game of misperformance can lead to a whole season's hard work being wasted! If you shatter the dream of the whole team, the dream of Coventry, you don't deserve to be a goalkeeper for Coventry. Not worthy of being a professional footballer! ”

Billy finally spoke: "I'm sorry, old lieutenant. I was wrong. ”

Liu Yun said: "Admitting mistakes is no longer helpful. I'll set you three rules: First, train hard. Get back to the first fourteen rounds. Second, during the vacation, even if you sleep ten models a night, I can't care about it, it's your private matter. On training days, before the game, you honestly let me stay in the team dormitory overnight! Third, never think of yourself as a big star! Just think of yourself as an ordinary player in the Premier League and calm your mentality. ”

Billy hurriedly replied, "I promise to do these three!" Really, old lieutenant, I swear to God! ”

Liu Yun said: "Well, okay, I believe in you. Due to your misperformance in the previous round, as a penalty, the team will cancel all your vacation days before the winter break! The rest of the players are on vacation, and you have to stay with goalkeeper coach Luqi to continue training at Ricoh Stadium! ”

Billy nodded: "I admit punishment!" ”

Liu Yun patted Billy's shoulder: "Billy, you are still young." There are so many temptations in this world. Don't let the temptations of all kinds ruin your dreams! What are your dreams? ”

Billy blurted out: "Become the main goalkeeper of the England national team!" ”

Liu Yun smiled: "Don't forget your original intention and insist on pursuing your dreams." I believe that one day you will be the main goalkeeper of the England national team! ”

After finishing the ideological work for Billy, Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Head coach Edda found that only a legendary player like the old lieutenant could calm the young and frivolous young people in the team.

In a locker room, there must be a boss to unite the strength of the whole team.

It's just like Roma needed Totti, Juventus needed Buffon, Liverpool needed Gerrard...

Edda wrote a letter of recommendation to the team committee, recommending that team captain Liu be appointed as assistant coach at Coventry.

The Coventry City team is a members-only club. The team committee is made up of die-hard Sky Blues fans. They saw the old lieutenant as the city of Coventry. Such a suggestion was immediately adopted.

So, in addition to the captain of the team, Liu Yun has another layer of identity - the assistant coach of Coventry.

Over the next month or so, goalkeeper Billy made good on his promise. Round 16 against Southampton, round 17 against Stoke City, round 18 against Queens Park Rangers and round 19 against Leeds United – he was very solid. He made great contributions to the team's 3-1 victory over Southampton, 2-0 victory over Stoke City, 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers, and 4-1 victory over Leeds United.
