Chapter 543: Retirement? Stop it!

In the spring, Manchester United have been triumphant on all fronts.

Twenty-seven rounds of the Premier League have passed, and Manchester United has won 26 and drawn one, accumulating 79 points and topping the table. Who will be the Premier League champion this season is no longer in suspense. The only remaining question now is how many rounds of Champions United can win this season.

On other fronts, the League Cup is in the semi-finals and the FA Cup is in the semi-finals. The Champions League qualified as group winners after an away win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Jose Mourinho is confident that United will win four trophies this summer.

After six rounds of the Champions League group stage, the top 16 were all produced.

Group A group top, Arsenal. Group 2, Sporting Lisbon.

Group B group winner, Juventus. Second in the group, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Group C winners, Manchester United. Second in the group, Real Madrid.

Group D, top of the group, Barcelona. Second in the group, Manchester City.

Group E toppers, Chelsea. Group 2, Porto.

Group F group winners, AC Milan. Second in the group, Atletico Madrid.

Group G toppers, Roma. Second in the group, Marseille.

Group H group winner, Red Star Belgrade. Group two, Borussia Dortmund.

As the saying goes, who doesn't die an old man during the New Year, and who doesn't eat dumplings for a hundred years? Compared to the sluggish form of Premier League teams in the Champions League in previous seasons, the Premier League teams are rising this season! In the round of 16 of the Champions League, the Premier League occupies 4 seats!

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is just around the corner. UEFA temporarily decided to let Liu Yun be the guest of the draw.

For the sake of fairness, the Champions League draw can only be played by non-active players. UEFA did this in an apparent attempt to believe that the 47-year-old Manchester United captain had no hope of returning to the pitch after a serious injury.

In the football associations of every country and region, there are always one or two officials who pat their thighs and decide things. UEFA's decision drew a chorus of criticism from fans.

Our old lieutenant is recovering well! Didn't you do this at UEFA to curse the old lieutenant for early retirement?

Liu Yun didn't care. What he hopes most now is that his hands will bring good luck to Manchester United. Since your feet can't help Manchester United for the time being, you have your own hands to help Manchester United!

Before going to Nyon, Switzerland for the draw ceremony, Liu Yun attended the launch of Manchester United's new mascot.

Originally, Manchester United's mascot was the "red devil Fred" wearing the number 55 shirt. Now, Manchester United have an extra mascot, the "old lieutenant Walter" wearing the number 64 shirt. ”

The old lieutenant, Walter, is a cute pig wearing a British lieutenant uniform with wings. The cute pig also has two mustaches on its head.

In Manchester and Coventry, everyone knows the old lieutenant's famous saying: as long as you stand in the wind, a pig can fly into the sky.

No. 64 is the opposite of Liu Yun's No. 46.

It can be said that this new mascot is designed based on Liu Yun.

The team's chairman, Woodward, asked the old lieutenant himself to name the mascot. After thinking about it, Liu Yunsi took the name "Walter".

Walter is the protagonist of the former Yugoslavia film "Walter Defends Sarajevo".

Liu Yun's generation grew up watching former Yugoslav films such as "Walter Defends Sarajevo" and "The Bridge". At that time, there was no entertainment in the countryside. Every month, the village screening team will show a movie on the village wheat field. The projection team has limited copies of the film. Often a movie is shown ten times a year.

Liu Yun can still recite the classic lines in "Walter Defends Sarajevo":

"The air is trembling, as if the sky is burning."

"May God bless the pursuers and bless the pursued."

"There's Sarajevo ahead."

"Look, this city, he's Walter!"

Influenced by the movies of the former Yugoslavia, the post-70s and post-80s generations in China all have a deep pre-Yugoslav complex.

Liu Yun even hopes to meet Red Star Belgrade in the knockout round. In this way, he can go to Belgrade and see with his own eyes the city that countless middle-aged people in China yearn for.

The press conference of Manchester United's new mascot turned into Liu Yun's personal press conference.

The media were surprised that Liu Yun came without crutches.

"Hello old lieutenant, I'm a Guardian reporter. My colleagues and I have noticed that you came here today without crutches. Do you mean that you are now free of crutches? We all know that when you first got injured, the medical experts say that you will spend the first few months after your injury in a wheelchair. ”

Liu Yun replied with a smile: "A few months? I was only in a wheelchair for a little over a month. On crutches, I was on crutches for half a month. Let me tell you, I'm already doing a moderate recovery training right now! ”

A group of reporters grew their mouths in surprise: the old lieutenant has already begun moderate restorative training? God! This is breaking news. The old lieutenant is simply not a normal person.

In fact, Liu Yun himself was surprised by the smooth recovery.

He thought last night, could it be that the electric shock gave him a stronger ability to recover from trauma than ordinary people?

"Hello, old lieutenant. I'm a reporter for The Sun. There have been many previous reports that you will be ending your career. Now that look, that's all nonsense, right? ”

Liu Yun laughed: "End your career? Mr. Reporter, don't make a fuss, okay? There's a lot more I want to do on the pitch. For example, winning the Champions League, winning the quadruple in one season, and setting a new record of 60 goals in a single season in the English top flight for Everton's legendary striker Dean... How could I possibly retire? ”

Reporters from various media outlets flickered their shutters. The old lieutenant's words are another big news!

"Hello, old lieutenant. I'm a reporter for the Daily Mail. According to a Chinese media, you have used a miraculous prescription in traditional Chinese medicine to achieve such rapid recovery progress. Don't you know if it's true? ”

Liu Yun couldn't cry or laugh. He was already able to guess which manufacturer that sold ant bollia pills and dog skin plasters took advantage of his injury to gain popularity, and spent money to let which domestic media compile this news.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "If this kind of magic prescription really exists in the world, don't forget to give me one." ”

After the interview, Liu Yun took a photo with the new mascot "Old Lieutenant Walter". At the end of the press conference, the bodyguard Dardanha drove Liu Yun home.

In the car, Dardanha sighed: "Boss, to be honest. It's scary how quickly you've healed. We have a bodyguard at WhiteWater. On one occasion, a criminal tried in vain to kidnap his employer. He didn't have a gun with him that day, and he got into a hand-to-hand fight with a criminal and broke his leg. The extent of his fractures and your birth are not much. It took him half a year to walk as easily as you do. ”

Liu Yun looked at his right calf and said to Dardania: "Philosophers say that there are no two identical leaves in this world. In the same way, no two people are the same. Everyone's physique is different. Maybe it's because I'm very physical, who knows. ”
