Manchester United are set to host Champions League semi-final opponents Real Madrid at Old Trafford. In the first leg, United scored one goal difference and two away goals. Manchester United are confident of knocking out Real Madrid at the Theatre of Dreams.

Liu Yun went to Coventry between trainings.

Coventry, a familiar city, a familiar landscape. The city is still as peaceful and cozy as ever.

The bodyguard Dardania drove the car, and Liu Yun stared at the city through the car window.

Passing by the Coventry Bombing Memorial Square, Liu Yun couldn't help but think of William Henry's "Unconquerable" engraved on the pedestal of the monument.

Liu Yun said to Dardania: "This is a great city. ”

Dardania agreed: "My grandfather was a free French fighter. He fought alongside General de Gaulle. He was training at St George's Barracks, just outside Coventry. He told me that there was a stubborn pride in the people of Coventry. ”

Liu Yun said: "Your grandfather also came to Coventry? What a coincidence. Oh, it's possible that you'll be living with me in Coventry in the autumn. ”

Dardania asked in surprise: "Boss, what did you say?" Living in Coventry? What about Manchester? Are you no longer playing at Manchester United? ”

Liu Yun replied: "Maybe I will move to Coventry in the summer. ”

"Poof~" Dardania braked suddenly. As a professional bodyguard, he has been specially trained in his driving skills. Such a panicked sudden braking is obviously not up to par.

Dardania said apologetically to Liu Yun: "I'm sorry boss." Your thoughts make me ... I almost forgot I was driving. I'm a die-hard Lyon fan. I know football! Ballon d'Or winner, last season's Premier League and Champions League double Golden Boot, this season's Premier League Silver Boot, a transfer to a third-tier team? Nothing like this has ever happened in the 100-year history of professional football in Europe! ”

Liu Yun stared at the scenery outside the window: "There is always a first time for everything. There is always the first person to eat crabs. I love this city, and when I came to the UK from China, it was the city that first accepted me. I'm eager to fight for the lovely people of this city! If it weren't for the force majeure of labor certification, maybe I wouldn't have left here. ”

Even Dardania, the bodyguard, advised Liu Yun: "Boss." You are my employer and I am your employee. In accordance with our WhiteWater Security Employee Code, I should not dictate to your personal affairs. But as a fan, I still want you to play at the top level in Europe. Today's European arena cannot be without old lieutenants. ”

Liu Yun smiled and said, "You are my bodyguard, my friend, and my family." Your advice is for my own good, I know that. You must know that people always have to pursue something in their lives. In Manchester, I can get fame, wealth. But people don't have to live just for fame and wealth. Besides, how can you guarantee that Coventry won't be in Europe's top leagues in the future? ”

Dardania had an incredulous look on his face: "Boss, Coventry? Europe's top league? Do you mean Coventry will be able to enter the Premier League and Champions League in the future? Fantasy, right? It's just a third-tier team in England! Didn't you say last time that Coventry was barely relegated this year and almost returned to League Two? ”

Liu Yun said: "I firmly believe that on the football field, anything can happen! Sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to go back to the starting point and start over. ”

Liu Yun did not regard Dardania as his employee, he regarded him as his friend.

To his friends, he bluntly spoke his mind.

Dardanha's views and Mourinho, Woodward, Liu Xiaoyan, Goodman... All those who have heard his crazy idea are surprisingly unanimous.

Finally arrived at Ricoh Stadium.

The sky at Ricoh Stadium is blue, with a few white clouds floating in the sky.

Three years ago, Liu Yun came to Ricoh Stadium for the first time to watch Coventry's home game against Oxford United with Zhang Li and Mrs. Hudson's family.

In my memory, the sky at Ricoh Stadium was so blue, and the clouds in the sky were so white.

Three years have passed, Mrs. Hudson and head coach George Sr. have passed away, and their former teammates have also gone away, retiring from the military.

Things are not people, Ricoh Stadium still stands quietly here. Just like Coventry, a club with a history of nearly 140 years, it has gone through World War I, World War II... Still standing in the great city of Coventry!

Liu Yun suddenly remembered a person - Zhang Li.

At the beginning, Zhang Li said to him: The phoenix is the totem of the city of Coventry. The city, reborn from the ashes of the Great Bombardment, has never lacked wonders.

Liu Yun walked to the Ricoh Stadium. The season is over and the players in Coventry City are on holiday. There is no player training at Ricoh Stadium. He asked head coach Edda to meet in the stands at Ricoh Stadium.

The Ricoh Arena is taking advantage of the precious time of the summer break to renovate.

Now, the administrator is debugging the stadium sound.

The melodious Coventry anthem came from the stereo:

"It's a long, long road when you go through life. Through the disaster, we will continue to move forward. Children in this sky blue dress, keep going! Coventry! Although you have experienced disasters, although the road is long, and your heart beats hard, although you are tired, we continue to move forward. Oh, the glory of Coventry, the sky blue jersey! Coventry! Coventry! ”

Liu Yun found Eda in the stands.

After George Sr.'s passing, Edda took over as Coventry head coach. Coventry have a poor record in League One this season and are barely relegated. They were eliminated in the first round of the FA Cup. This made the fans unhappy with him.

Eda and Liu Yun shook hands.

Edda half-jokingly said: "The old lieutenant of Manchester United has made an appointment with me in his busy schedule, is there anything important?" ”

Liu Yun said to Eda straight to the point: "Coach Ada, I have an idea. When Manchester United lift the Champions League this season, I'll be back in Coventry. Keep fighting for the Azure Army! ”

Edda seemed unable to believe her ears: "Liu, I'm sorry, please repeat it. I really want to have auditory hallucinations? ”

Liu Yun smiled and said to Edda: "I said, if Manchester United are crowned quadruple champions at the end of the season, I will return to Coventry!" ”

Eda couldn't say a word in surprise.

After a brief silence, Eda blurted out, "Old Lieutenant, are you crazy? ”

Liu Yun laughed: "Haha, Coach Ada, my daughter said the same thing two days ago. yes, that idea seems a bit crazy. Football itself is crazy, isn't it? ”

Eda said categorically, "It's impossible! First, there has never been a precedent in Europe for a top star from a top flight to move to a lower league when his form is hot. Secondly, Coventry is a small club and simply can't afford to offer you the same salary package as you did at Manchester United. Thirdly, Manchester United will never let the old lieutenant come to Coventry! Manchester United Club will not say yes, and neither will Manchester United fans! Fourth...... ”
