Chapter 479 The third most valuable person in the world

A month later, on a midsummer night, Liu Yun and Isabella sat by the sea, looking at the stars. Blowing the sea breeze.

Xiao Cola was born less than two months ago, and he can't blow the sea breeze yet. Liu Xiaoyan stayed in the villa to take care of her sister.

The starry sky is brilliant. Liu Yun stared at the starry sky. He began to understand why so many poets, ancient and modern, wrote so many poems praising the mysterious and quiet starry sky.

A meteor streaked across the sky.

Liu Yun stared at the meteor. Life is so short relative to the eternal universe. How long is it for yourself?

July has passed, and August has arrived. Manchester United have been spending a lot of money during the transfer window. Hummels and Bellerin have signed official contracts with Manchester United. They have started training with the team. Jose Mourinho has poached his former favourite, left wing-back Felipe, from Chelsea.

The transfer fee for these three defenders alone is as high as 150 million pounds. Manchester United this summer is like a tyrant with a lot of money. As long as Mu Shuai has a crush on any player, whether this player is the main force of other teams or not, just three words: "buy, buy, buy"!

In Mourinho's vision, Hummels, Eric Bailly, Bellerin and Felipe will form United's new starting line-back. The starting back line is worth close to Β£200 million. It's not luxurious.

Mu Shuai may have been addicted to digging into the corners of Bayern. At a price of 90 million euros in transfer fee plus Martial, he bought last season's Bundesliga top scorer, Lewandowski, from Bayern.

Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic are of the same type, both are stumping centre-forwards.

In this way, Manchester United's main lineup for the new season is basically confirmed. Goalkeeper David De Gea, strikers Liu Yun, Lukaku, Lewandowski. Marcus Rashford up front. Nemanja Matic partnered Pogba in the back two. Two centre-backs Hummels and Eric Bailly, right wing-back Bellerin, left wing-back Felipe...

Such a lineup can already be called luxurious.

Manchester United has awarded Jose Mourinho a transfer fee of Β£500 million. Mourinho has only spent half of it so far. It's not that Mu Shuai deliberately saves money for the owner, but the clubs of the other players he fancy will not let go.

The Football Observatory, a well-known football research institution, publishes the latest ranking of players in Europe's top five leagues every summer.

At the top of the list is Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar, worth 220 million pounds.

In second place is Barcelona's Messi, worth 150 million pounds.

The third place is not Ronaldo, but the 47-year-old Manchester United old central defender Liu Yun! Β£130 million!

If it weren't for Liu Yun's age, the player would be the most valuable, and he would be the best!

Whether a striker is worth anything, the number of goals scored in a single season is undoubtedly an important measure. However, a goal with a tailwind is nowhere near as significant as a goal against the wind to turn the tide for the team.

Last season, Liu Yun almost single-handedly sent Manchester United to the Champions League final. The six-goal shock win over Barcelona was a classic.

Admittedly, age is an important criterion for a player's worth, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the three best strikers on the planet at the moment. However, at the age of 33, he was still valued at 98 million pounds because of his age, failing to break 100 million.

However, the "Football Observatory" believes that the demon Golden Boot Liu Yun cannot be measured by common sense! At the age of 46, 48 goals were blocked in 38 league games, and 25 goals in 13 Champions League games are already a miracle in the world! The premise is that in the non-important games of the league, Liu Yun did not get the opportunity to start. He started just 29 of his 38 league games! If he starts every game in the league, Liu Yun even has a good chance of hitting the single-season scoring record of 60 goals in the English top flight.

In the eyes of the bricks of the "Football Observatory", Liu Yun is a demon! How can you value a demon in the same way as a normal player? In the end, the bricks gave an estimate of 130 million pounds. But in the eyes of Manchester United fans, the value of 130 million pounds is still too low!

Liu Yun didn't care about what was worth or not. He likes Manchester United, he likes the city of Manchester, he loves his team-mates. No matter how much money other clubs give, he won't transfer.

What Liu Yun is most concerned about now is the interview result of his daughter Liu Xiaoyan's Imperial College.

It was supposed to be the result of the interview more than half a month ago. Imperial College London didn't know what was going on, and it didn't announce the interview results on its official website for a long time, and it didn't send an admission letter.

Liu Yun sat on a chair by the sea and fell asleep. In the haze, he heard Isabella calling out his name: "Liu, wake up!" Wake up! ”

Liu Yun opened his eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Isabella said, "My eldest daughter sent me a message asking us to hurry back to the villa!" Say something big! ”

"Something is wrong?" Liu Yun suddenly felt a thrill on his body. He couldn't help but think of the language of the gypsy goddess. Don't be Xiao Cola or Liu Xiaoyan or something。。。。。 Liu Yun didn't dare to think about it at the moment.

He trotted all the way back to the villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, he saw Liu Xiaoyan holding a small cola with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yun asked anxiously.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Dad, my classmate just sent me a text message. The official website of Imperial College London has announced the results of the interview. ”

Liu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's it?" ”

Liu Xiaoyan said with a straight face: "Dad, I don't dare to look at it... Please help me take a look at the official website. ”

Liu Yun opened the official website of Imperial College London and carefully checked the interview results.

In the list of admitted candidates for aviation manufacturing, Liu Yun found Liu Xiaoyan's name. He was overjoyed and shouted to Liu Xiaoyan: "Yan Yan, you have been admitted to Imperial College!" ”

Liu Xiaoyan handed the little cola to Isabella to hug, and then ran to the computer: "Really? ”

Liu Yun pointed to the computer screen. See for yourself.

After reading it, Liu Xiaoyan shouted three times, "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

Then, Liu Xiaoyan ran to Xiao Coke and kissed Xiao Coke: "Little Coke, my sister has been admitted to Imperial College!" In the future, my sister will learn how to build airplanes! When you grow up, you can get on the plane designed by your sister! ”

Early the next morning, Liu Xiaoyan received an admission letter and a package from Imperial College London.

Parcel Signature: Fake Eriwan.

Liu Xiaoyan opened the package, and inside was a small model of a Spitfire.

It seems that the Lord Fa attaches great importance to himself as a future student. There was a note in the package:

"Liu, welcome to Imperial College. Here, you will become a qualified aircraft manufacturing engineer! ”

Liu Xiaoyan ran to the restaurant and said to Liu Yun eagerly: "Dad, you can help me go through the back door!" ”

Liu Yun asked strangely: "What back door?" ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "My interviewer, Sir Fack Ereva, will also be my teacher in the future. He's a Manchester United fan. You help me get a soccer ball, get my teammates to sign their names, and I'll give it to him when school starts! Ha, that's not a bribe. It's just an exchange of gifts. ”
