Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 593 The choice of life
Polskieig Stadium press room.

"Dear Coach Mourinho, I am a reporter from "Kicker". How do you feel now after winning the Champions League?"

Mourinho changed his usual stern expression, and smiled: "It's like eating a ton of honey. No, the big ear cup is far sweeter than a ton of honey!"

"Coach Foncel, I am a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport. Shakhtar Donetsk is the biggest dark horse this season. What do you think made the Shakhtars, which is recognized as the weakest team in the top 16, come to an end? In the final?"

Fonsel replied: "My players are not only fighting for the club, but also fighting for Ukraine! Behind us, there is the support of all Ukrainians. This is the most important reason that supports us to where we are today."

"Hi Qu, I'm a reporter from L'Equipe. You assisted Lewandowski in the second half. Lewandowski surpassed you in the Champions League scorer list this season after scoring a goal. In other words, it was your assist Let yourself fail in the competition for the Champions League Golden Boot. Do you regret it now? Will this become your biggest regret in this year's Champions League journey?"

Qu Bo shook his head again and again: "Regret? How is it possible? There is no competition in the Manchester United team! We are united like a family! Lewandowski is like my brother, he is one of the best strikers in Europe .He is worthy of the honor of the Champions League Golden Boot. I have known our captain and old lieutenant Liu Yun since I was 17 years old. I learned the true meaning of the word selflessness from him. The Big Ears Cup is more important than the Champions League Golden Boot A lot! Today we won the Big Ears Cup, so today is a perfect day. I have no regrets in this year's Champions League trip!"

"Ibrahimovic, at the most critical moment, you scored the most critical goal. How do you feel after scoring?"

Ibrahimovic replied with a smile: "I couldn't believe it was true at the time! Five seconds before I got the ball, Manchester United seemed to have missed the Big Ear Cup. Five seconds later, we scored the winning goal .At that time, my mind went blank, and then doubts. Did I really score the lore? Am I really going to lift the Big Ears Cup? Until my teammates threw me down, and the whole Manchester United fans When I started cheering, I realized that my goal was indeed scored. There are always such ups and downs in football. Maybe this is the charm of football."

"Coach Mourinho, I'm a reporter from the BBC, how do you evaluate the opponent Shakhtar Donetsk?"

Mourinho said: "This is a team worthy of everyone's respect. They have the valuable qualities of never surrendering and never admitting defeat. God, you must know that they have to give up because of the war in the past few seasons. A home stadium with a history of more than half a century. Their players' salaries are the lowest among all 32 teams in the Champions League this season. They have not slackened on the field because of these. They are already winners if they can reach the Champions League final!"

The reporters asked questions for more than an hour.

The UEFA press officer looked at his watch and was about to announce the end of the press conference when Mourinho stopped him.

"Our players Ibrahimovic and Liu have important announcements," Mourinho said.

Ibrahimovic stood up: "I decided to retire. Winning the Big Ears Cup is the motivation for my comeback this season. The Big Ears Cup is my lifelong dream. Now, I have realized this dream. I think it's time to leave the court. "

The reporters were overjoyed!Ibrahimovic retired for the second time, which is big news.

"Ibrahimovic, I'm a reporter from the Daily Mail. What are your plans after retirement?"

Ibrahimovic replied: "I plan to stay with my family for a year. These years I have been in the European leagues, and I have less time with my family. This time I will make up for them and fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and a father. After a year, I think I will take a football coaching course. Even if I don't play football, I will not stay away from the pitch."

After Ibrahimovic finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun looked around at the reporters in the news hall, took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to return to League One Coventry Club during the summer break!"

There was a long silence in the news auditorium of Polskiegstadion.

The reporters couldn't believe their ears.

Last season's Premier League, Champions League double golden boots, Golden Globe winner, joining a team in England's third tier league?When did something like this happen in European football?
The treatment of the Premier League and League One is very different.Not to mention the salary level, the loss of endorsement fees just because of going to League One is sky-high!

Let alone the Golden Globe winners, even those young bench players in the British Championship are unwilling to take a step back and play in the League One.

A reporter in the front row raised his hand and said, "Old Lieutenant, what you said just now... We seem to have misunderstood. You mean that you want to inject funds into Coventry Club?"

Liu Yun said with a smile: "I mean, as a player, I will go back to Coventry, back to the Ricoh Stadium. Fight side by side with my former teammates!"

There was an uproar in the news hall!old lieutenant. .Could it be crazy?
The current Golden Globe winner, joining a weak third-tier league team?

"Old Lieutenant, I'm a reporter from the BBC. The question I'm going to ask, I think, is also the question of all my colleagues here: What prompted you to make such a decision?"

Liu Yun said: "There is a saying in our country called not forgetting the original intention. When I came to the UK with a football dream, the city of Coventry accepted me. Because of Coventry, I realized my dream step by step. Dream - to win everything that can be won in football. Right now, Coventry are not doing well in League One. It's time for me to help Coventry instead! I now have a new dream, to help Coventry , to return to England's top league!"

As soon as Liu Yun's words came out, there was another uproar in the news hall.

How long does it take for a League One team to return to England's top flight?
In the past 20 years, the team that achieved the fastest triple jump at league level was Huddersfield United.It took them 5 years to get promoted from League One to Premier League.This is already a miracle.

Even if Coventry can perform the same miracle as Huddersfield United. Five years later, the old lieutenant is almost 5 years old.Is the old lieutenant going to play until he is 53 years old?
Liu Yun continued: "In our Chinese traditional culture, knowing kindness and repaying it is the supreme virtue of a person. At the beginning, Coventry was kind to me, and now it is time for me to go back to the Ricoh Stadium to repay the Coventry Club. Thanks to me!"

"Old Lieutenant, I am a reporter from Marca. I stayed in Yanjing, your country for a while in the early years. I know that there is a slang saying in your country, which is called people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Looking at the world football, I don't think any player wants to play two tiers below. Once you come back to Coventry, your weekly wages, endorsements will be greatly reduced. Don't you care about money?"

Liu Yun replied: "I will return to Coventry with a symbolic rental fee of 1 pound and a weekly salary of 1 pound. When a person is short of money, he must care about money. Because money is the basis for maintaining people's survival. But these two I have earned enough money in [-] to guarantee a bright future for my family. My trip to Coventry has nothing to do with money. If life is a road, there are countless forks in the road, and you need to go to Coventry. It is up to man to choose which way to go. I have made my choice - the way back to Coventry."
