Chapter 3 Middle-aged and Elderly Football Teams
Seinfeld put his arm around Liu Yun's shoulders and came to the sidelines, while the rest of the players continued to train.
Seinfeld said, "Brother, what are you doing now?" Are you interested in joining our Fisherman's Restaurant team? β
The group of middle-aged players of the Yujia Restaurant team, whether they are small and medium-sized business owners or senior professional managers--- are all successful people who have money and leisure.
It's a pity that Liu Yun has neither money nor leisure.
He shook his head helplessly: "Captain Song, I'm just a poor breakfast stall, and I also have to work as a cleaner during the day." I have a fifteen-year-old daughter to raise at home, how can I play any football? β
Seinfeld has made a lot of money by opening restaurants over the years, and is always worth tens of millions. Cai Da was arrogant, and he said arrogantly: "Set up a breakfast stall? Working as a cleaner? I'll give you double how much money you can make! As long as you come to our Yujia Restaurant team as a player, I will give you 8,000 yuan a month, how about it? Our Yujia Restaurant team is an amateur team, and the brothers came together with hobbies, and they have no salary. Eight thousand yuan a month, even those senior white-collar workers can earn this amount, which is considered my personal funding for you, a lot! β
Liu Yun was stunned, the price of 8,000 yuan a month was too tempting. I am tired and tired, and I can only earn three or four thousand yuan a month. But the person in front of him gave him a salary of 8,000 yuan!
But he is forty-five years old, although he was half a professional player when he was young, is there a suspicion of not doing his job if he plays football now?
Think about it again, what is the right karma in these years? If you can make money, you are a good job! Didn't the TV news say that those teenage children can earn tens of millions a year playing computer games? What's wrong with playing football on your own?
Liu Yun said to Seinfeld, "Okay, Captain Song. I join. β
Seinfeld patted Liu Yun's shoulder excitedly: "The Bayi team came out, it's just different!" As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is one. Your dribbles and goals just now are like European superstars! β
Liu Yun said humbly: "Alas, I haven't touched a ball for more than 20 years, and I didn't expect that I could still play." β
Seinfeld said again: "Old Liu, to tell you the truth, the average age of our fisherman's restaurant team is above forty years old. It's an amateur team within an amateur team. This month, our Guangming District will hold the Guangming Cup Football Match, and all amateur teams can sign up to participate. The champion will represent the ward in the city's Gyeongju Football Competition. If you win the game in the city again, you can represent our Jingzhou City in the Hua C League. Our team has already registered, and in the group drawn by lot, there are teams from sports schools in the district, teams from key middle schools in the district, and teams sponsored by Bairun Group, a large enterprise! How can a group of us in our forties beat those teenage and twenty-year-old baseball boys? As long as there is a goal, I will burn high incense! β
The Hua C League that Seinfeld refers to is also known as the Hua Guo Amateur League. Football competitions in China are divided into four levels: Super League, First Division, Second Division, and Third Division. Super, A, and B teams are all professional teams. In the huge country, thousands of people play football. There are only a dozen super professional teams, a dozen professional teams in the first division, more than 80 professional teams in the second division, and thousands of amateur teams in the third division.
Today's Huaguo is in the midst of a national football fever. Jingzhou City got a place in the C team. Therefore, the Jingzhou Football Association held this football match at the city, district and county levels. The champion of the city-wide competition can get this place in the C team!
Liu Yun used to be a professional player, and in addition to setting up breakfast stalls, he also likes to watch football and sports news. He naturally knew what Seinfeld was talking about in the third division.
Liu Yun said to Seinfeld: "Captain Song, don't worry, I will do my best to play a good game." β
Seinfeld patted Liu Yun on the shoulder again: "Brother Liu Yun, to tell you the truth, our middle-aged and elderly team originally participated in the Guangming District competition with the mentality of playing soy sauce. But with you on board, we're still hopefulγγγγγγ I don't dare to say that I will advance, at least I won't lose too ugly. β
Liu Yun said, "Yes." Football is not a sport of shooting and billiards, it has a sports life. It's good that a good player's athletic life can last until he is in his thirties. Most of our teammates are almost 40 years old and can't run on the field at all. Less than five minutes into the game, I'm out of breath. Playing with a group of good boys can only be said to be friendship first, and the focus is on participation. β
Seinfeld pointed to his stomach: "There's a miscellaneous word?" Big belly poop right? We're pot-bellied poop now. There is nothing else to do all day except socializing and drinking. When people reach middle age, they always feel that something is missing. When I was a teenager, I stayed up late to watch Serie A and European Championships. When you are 20 years old, you have to earn money and support your family, how can you have any effort to watch football? Later, when I had money and leisure, I always wanted to do what I wanted to do. So I built such an amateur team with my friends in the business field. Brother Liu Yun, you have played in the Bayi team, and you are the only former professional player in our group. The future of our team is all up to you! β
Liu Yun's old-fashioned Nokia phone suddenly rang: "Hey, is it Liu Yun?" I am your daughter Liu Xiaoyan's homeroom teacher. Your daughter got into a fight with a classmate and injured her classmate, and the parents want to call the police, come to school! β
Liu Yun's old-fashioned Nokia has been with him for five or six years, and if he doesn't turn on the speakerphone, he can barely hear the sound. He was on the speakerphone just now, and Seinfeld heard the contents of the call.
Liu Yun almost went crazy. He said to Seinfeld, "Captain Songγγγγγ Something happened to my daughter. I have to go to school. β
Seinfeld enthusiastically said, "It's not easy to take a taxi in this place, let's go, I'll take you in my car." β
Liu Xiaoyan can be said to be Liu Yun's sweetheart. Something happened to his daughter, and he, a father, was so anxious that he couldn't care about being polite: "Then I'll trouble you!" β
Seinfeld pulled out a brand new Audi A8 from the parking lot: "Dude, get in the car!" β
Liu Yun has never sat in such a high-end car in his life. But at this time, he was no longer in the mood to admire this expensive luxury car, so he opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Seinfeld asked, "How old is your daughter?" β
Liu Yun replied: "Fifteen, the fourth year of junior high school." β
Seinfeld smiled bitterly: "My son is also fifteen. It's just a living ancestor. Fighting at school all day long, skipping classes and surfing the Internetγγγγγ Alas, it's not easy for us to be parents. β
Liu Yun asked Song Fei: "Captain Song, you are in business and have a lot of knowledge." Just now, her homeroom teacher said that the other party's parents should call the policeγγγγγ The police can't really arrest my daughter, right? β
Seinfeld shook his head: "Fart! Less than sixteen, it's not rape, it's not murder, the police catch an egg! At most, criticize and educate! β
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's only fifteen, if you are really caught by the police, won't your future be ruined?" β
Song Fei comforted Liu Yun: "Don't worry, at most, the police will intervene in mediation and make you lose money." β
Speaking of money, Liu Yun had a trace of sadness on his face.
Seinfeld was a warm-hearted person, and he said: "Since you have met, you will be teammates of the same team in the future, if you have difficulties, I will help you." Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. How much it will cost today, I'll give you a cushion first. Wait until you have the money to pay it back. β
Although Liu Yun is poor, he has a poor ambition: "Forget it." If something happens to his daughter, others pay for it, and he can't say it. β
Seinfeld said, "It's okay. If you don't succeed, you will be deducted from the team's salary in the future. β
Seinfeld said this, and Liu Yun no longer shirked.
Liu Yun and Seinfeld come to the school and find their daughter's homeroom teacher.
The head teacher, Teacher Zhang, was in her thirties, and she glanced at Liu Yun. Liu Yun's dress is nondescript. He wears shorts and sneakers on his lower body, but he wears a cleaner's uniform on his upper body.
This Teacher Zhang is an out-and-out snob: "You are Liu Xiaoyan's father?" Your daughter beat up a female classmate, and now she is in the hospital with five stitches. You wait for the police to arrest her! β
