Chapter 209: It's Time to Find a Way Back
The league continues. In the next three league games, Coventry won two and drew one. Liu Yun's thigh performance in the team is even more extraordinary. Three games, 5 goals and 3 assists.
Qu Bai also performed well in these three games. One start, two substitute appearances, one goal and one assist.
Liu Yun, a 45-year-old super-aged player from Huaguo, leads the League Two scorer list with 25 goals. This is a data that borders on horror. You know, he joined the Coventry City team halfway through the league schedule. It's a miracle to have scored that number of goals in just a dozen games. He also leads the assist list with 15 assists.
Such an excellent performance made old George overjoyed. Originally, he sent Eda to Asia to find a replacement. Who ever wanted to find a thigh!
Old George was a decent man and kind to people. The team is now third, eight points ahead of fourth-placed Luton Town. With seven games remaining, with Coventry City in their current form, a promotion to League One at the end of the season is almost a certainty. With Liu Yun and Qu Bai's conditions, they will definitely not be able to get a labor certificate to play in the English League. In other words, because of the system, these two must leave the team at the end of the season.
In order to think about the future of the two, George Sr. began to help the two find their next home, his teammate when he was playing, and professional football agent Goodman.
Liu Yun has had an impressive run of form in League Two this season. Fast horse Qu Bai 100 meters 11.4 seconds, and has an age of 18 years old, which can be described as promising. Although the two League Two players have not been able to arouse the interest of clubs in the big five leagues, many clubs in Europe's second division have thrown a wink at his agent Goodman.
On this day, Liu Yun and Qu Bai finished training, and old George called the two to the office. In the office sat the agent Goodman.
George Sr. got straight to the point: "You two, you may not be able to play in League One with the team at the end of the season. I have no choice but to ask Goodman to find your next club to play for. โ
Liu Yun and Qu Bai knew that Old George definitely didn't mean to drive them away. England's top three leagues have a strict labour certification system, and even though George Sr. has a lot of connections at the top of the FA, he can't challenge the system.
Old George added: "However, the two of you have done well in League Two. A number of clubs have sent letters of intent to transfer. At the end of the season and the transfer period begins, you can choose to leave the club and join these clubs. Goodman, what do you say about the clubs that are interested in them right now? โ
Goodman opened a folder and said one by one: "The clubs that have temporarily expressed interest in Liu are Leyton Orient and Newport in League Two. Lucky Valley of the Portuguese Liga, Gijรณn of La Liga, Concano of Ligue 3, Vidosa of Bulgarian Super League, Eagles of Eredivisie. In addition, three Huaguo clubs have expressed their willingness to bring in Liu. They are Huachao's Shanbei Aluminum Energy, Yanjing Gui'an, and Huajia's Handong Bairun. โ
Liu Yun didn't expect that he would become a sweetheart! There was even a Chinese Super League team that invited him to return to China.
Goodman opened another folder: "The clubs that have expressed interest in Qu Bai for the time being are PSV Eindhoven and Ajax in the Eredivisie and Porto in the Portuguese Super League. However, the three clubs specified that the purchase of the song would be followed by the release team. In addition, there are three Huachao clubs, Yuedong Houda, Huhai Plastic Flower, and Hannan Tiemanhole Cover are interested in Qu Bai. โ
Goodman also listed a number of clubs in Europe's second-tier leagues that are interested in Qubai.
Qu Bai was flattered, and Eindhoven, Ajax, Porto, and other famous clubs called "black shops" by Chinese netizens were actually interested in him.
Goodman has been in the broker circle for many years, and it is clear at a glance. He explained the reason to Qu Bai and Liu Yun.
The second- and third-rate clubs in Europe that are interested in Liu Yun are all teams eager to improve their performance. Most of them are either aiming for relegation next season or aiming for relegation next season. They predict that Liu Yun is already forty-five years old, and his financial state will remain in financial condition for another season or half a season at most. However, Liu Yun's good form for a season or half a season is enough for these clubs.
Shanbei Aluminum Energy, Yanjing Gui'an, and Handong Bairun bought Liu Yun, but they took a fancy to Liu Yun's popularity in China. Liu Yun returned to China, whether he could play the main force or not, as soon as he sat on the bench, he could attract countless fans for the team. In their view, Liu Yun's commercial value is far greater than his on-the-field value.
The three major black stores took a fancy to Qu Bai, but they took a fancy to Qu Bai's young age and outstanding speed. The third team has a complete youth training system, and young people like Qu Bai are bought to cultivate. If Qu Bai can perform well in the team, he can sell it to a European giant club at a starting price. Even if the performance is average, the price of players in the Chinese Super League has been speculated. There must be Huaguo clubs who are willing to spend a lot of money to take over. When the time comes, an export will be turned to domestic sales, and the three major black stores will make sure that they don't lose money!
Liu Yun listened to Goodman's words, and secretly thought in his heart, the three black stores are worthy of being the three black stores. This little abacus crackles!
Liu Yun asked Old George: "Coach George, do you have any good suggestions for our transfer?" โ
George Sr. replied: "For you, I suggest you go to the Gijรณn team in La Liga." This team is the strongest of all the teams that are interested in you. Some self-righteous people don't know your strength and status. As soon as I hear your age, it's intimidating. It's just stupid. As for Leyton Orient and Newport in League Twoใใใใใ You've fought with them. They are two of the weakest teams in League Two right now. Relegation is certain this season. โ
George Sr. added, "Perhaps in your own opinion, it would be a good choice to go back to your homeland." I personally advise you not to return home. In China's top league, player prices have skyrocketed in recent years. But I've watched two Chinese Super League games, and the level of competition is similar to that of England's fifth and sixth tiers. You're a player whose age is inversely proportional to your future, and I predict you'll be in form for at least three more years. Returning to your homeland will only bury your talent. โ
What Old George said was reasonable, and Liu Yun nodded yes.
Old George said to Qu Bai again: "Qu, I suggest you go to Porto. It has to be said that Porto's youth academy is one of the best in the whole of Europe. European superstars from Porto abound. You don't care what they buy you for. As long as it's good for your future and future, just join them. As for the team in your home country - returning home is tantamount to self-destruction of the future. โ
George Sr. didn't look at the Chinese Super League with colored glasses. What he said was the truth. Although Qu Bai is young, he is not ignorant. Besides, he went abroad so easily, and his heart was full of ambition to make a splash in Europe, how could he return to the big sauce vat of the domestic league?
After the four of them finished talking, Liu Yun stood up and shook Old George's hand: "No matter where I go next season, Coach George, please rest assured." I'm going to do my best to play the remaining seven league games and the FA Cup. โ
Old George smiled and said, "Wherever you go, my dear old lieutenant. You will always be a hero in the hearts of Coventry! Coventry people will remember the miracles you have helped the team achieve this season! โ
