Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 602
After the wedding, Liu Xiaoyan and Qu Bai went to France for their honeymoon.

After finishing his daughter's wedding, Liu Yun can finally free up his hands and concentrate on preparing for the new season of the Premier League.

Coventry is now mainly based on the League One lineup two years ago.

Most of the people in this team have been promoted from the Coventry Junior Team, Youth Team, and Reserve Team all the way to the first team.

From the Super League to the second division clubs in the UK, they all have a complete youth training system.Those League Two and League One clubs lack the funds to buy big-name players.Most of their starting players are trained by their own youth training system.

Coventry's lineup obviously cannot meet the high level of confrontation in the Premier League.

There is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to buy players.

Coventry has a transfer fee this season that is far better than last year.

The transfer fee for this season mainly comes from two aspects.One is the sponsorship of large companies.

In the past, big corporate sponsorships went to the old lieutenant Liu Yun.Now that Coventry has been promoted to the Premier League, major international brands such as Adidas and Cheap Coke have invested a larger amount of sponsorship fees in Coventry.

The second aspect is bank loans.

The FA has a sound broadcast fee dividend system.The Premier League is one of the most watched football matches in the world, with annual broadcast fees reaching billions of pounds.

As far as last season is concerned, the broadcast fee for a single season of the Premier League was 26 billion pounds.Except for a small part of the money retained by the FA, most of the rest was distributed to the [-] Premier League teams according to the ranking of the competition.

Champions Manchester United received 1.5 million pounds.Runner-up Chelsea received £1.45 million. . . .Even Aston Villa, which was at the bottom, got 9300 million pounds.

In other words, even if Coventry ranks bottom in the new season, they can get more than 9000 million pounds in dividends.

The Sky Blues mortgaged part of the Premier League dividend rights to the local Bard Bank in Coventry in exchange for a loan of 1000 million pounds.

Coupled with advertising sponsorship fees and the remaining ticket revenue from the Ricoh Stadium last season, Coventry has a transfer fee of around 1800 million pounds during the summer break.

The transfer fee of 1800 million pounds may not be enough to buy a substitute player for those rich and powerful teams.But for Coventry, a team that has been in the low-level leagues for many years, it is already the highest transfer fee over the years.

What the head coach Ada and Liu Yun have to do is to maximize the effect of the transfer fee of 1800 million pounds.

Liu Yun is now more than just a player at the Ricoh Stadium.He is also the team's assistant coach.

Edda has been traveling to South America and Africa for a whole month, and has preliminarily determined a shortlist of 50 people for purchase.

On this day, Liu Yun came to Ada's office to discuss the purchase of players.

Ada said to Liu Yun: "We have you and Manla on the front line now. The two substitutes Gilat and Speer are young players trained by our Coventry. These two people have passed through these two seasons. After a lot of training, I can already serve as a substitute for the two of you. I don’t think there is any need to reinforce the striker.”

Iron Tamanla came to Coventry at the age of 21 and has played for Coventry for five full seasons. At the age of 26, he is now in his prime.Coventry had just been promoted to the British Championship last summer, and Aston Villa in the Premier League offered a huge salary to poach Manla, but Manla refused.

Manla told Aston Villa's scouts at the time: "I came to Coventry four years ago and the city accepted me. Here, I became a strike partner with the great old lieutenant. I Made a family here. Be part of this city. I love this city and the people in this city love me. Thank you club for your kindness, I will never leave Ricoh Stadium."

Manla made the right choice.Coventry have now been promoted to the Premier League.Aston Villa fell into the Championship.

Liu Yun agreed with Ada and said: "The general direction of buying people is mainly in the three positions of midfielder, left and right back."

Zhujiang Haihun was sent to the Coventry Youth Training Camp five years ago to receive training from a group of Huaguo youth players.

Among this group of Huaguo youth players, Qu Bai has become a European superstar.

Among them are two central defenders-Zhao Kaixuan and Li Fanghua, who have grown into Coventry's main central defenders.

Now Coventry's starting player list, there are a full three Chinese.

Liu Yun treated Zhao Kaixuan and Li Fanghua as if they were his own children.

Liu Yun discussed with Ada for an entire hour, and watched several hours of videotapes of the candidate players' matches.Finally, 10 people were selected.These 10 people have 2 Brazilian players, 3 South African players, 1 Argentine player, and 3 British players.

Liu Yun and Ada will fly to South America and South Africa in the middle of this month to inspect the players in the game.

Before I knew it, it was lunch time.

Ada asked his secretary to get two sandwiches from the office. He shrugged towards Liu Yun: "I'm sorry, old lieutenant. I don't have Huaguo dumplings here, only this. Let's make do with it, and wait until we win the first Premier League victory." time, I swear, I will treat you to a French meal!"

Liu Yun didn't take it seriously, picked up the sandwich and took a bite: "Okay, boss, I remember your promise! I'm waiting for your French feast."

Ada put a pile of newspapers in front of Liu Yun: "Old Lieutenant, the media is not optimistic about our trip to the Premier League."

Liu Yun flipped through the newspaper.

"The Sun": Even if Coventry has an old lieutenant, it can't change their status as the weakest team in the Premier League in the new season.It is true that the old lieutenant has maintained a good state in the two seasons of the League One and the Championship.Scored 29 goals in the League One season and 33 goals in the Championship season.But that is the League One and the Championship after all.After two seasons in the lower leagues, the old lieutenant at the Ricoh Stadium is no longer the old lieutenant at Old Trafford.One person cannot save a team.

"Daily Mail": Coventry's season goals this year should be set more pragmatically.Relegation should be their ultimate goal.Obviously, even this goal is difficult to achieve.You know, their team is still the same lineup that they played in League One two seasons ago.

"The Times": Coventry has announced the transfer fee budget for the new season: 1800 million pounds.Less than one-twentieth of Manchester United's transfer fee budget.The Sky Blues should have the lowest transfer fee among all Premier League teams.In the Premier League, strength is always king.The low transfer fee means they can only buy players of average level.Their strength - perhaps the weakest of the twenty Premier League teams in the new season.

"Guardian": After all, Coventry is a two-year double jump team.Note that double jump is not a commendatory word here.As far as the performance prediction of the new season is concerned, this is a derogatory term.Because this means that their lineup is still in the League One period.No matter how amazing the old lieutenant was, he was just a man, not a god.Moreover, at the age of 50, how long he can maintain his state is still a big question.

Liu Yun sighed: "It seems that the media is not optimistic about our new Premier League season."

Edda shrugged: "Just like when we were promoted to the English Championship last season, all the media concluded that we would fall back to the English Championship at the end of the season."

Liu Yun laughed loudly: "Yes. I think the British media is on par with Pele."

Ada asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Yun replied: "I still remember when I first came to Coventry, the media called me: an old liar from China. When I first arrived at Manchester United, they called me: an old man who will definitely sit on the bench. Vase. Heh, I participated in the FA Cup four years ago. Since the third round, every round of the game, the media have sentenced us to death before the game. As a result, we won the FA Cup...their mouth and shell Lee's mouth is like a crow's mouth."

Ada couldn't help laughing after hearing Liu Yun's words: "That's right. Old Lieutenant, you are so right. Their predictions are often the opposite of the results at the end of the season. Maybe we will stage a Leicester City miracle? "

Under the leadership of Ranieri, Leicester City won the championship in the first season of returning to the Premier League.This matter is still talked about by British fans so far.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered something: "By the way, my friend Baggio called me yesterday. In the Fiorentina youth team, there is a good 19-year-old midfielder. After Fiorentina was acquired by the Qataris, they are rich and powerful, and the team has gathered superstars. This kid is not only unable to play the main force, sometimes he can’t even sit on the bench. Before we leave for South Africa, we can transfer to Italy and go to Florence to inspect this kid.”

Liu Yun now has a huge network in European football circles.

People with noble character can always make a lot of friends.Friends are connections.

Coventry needs signings for the new season, and many of Liu Yun's friends called him to recommend players.

However, the players recommended by Batistuta and Maradona are all from the South American black shop River Plate and Boca Juniors.The clubs of these people often ask for tens of millions of pounds, which Coventry cannot afford.

Ada said in surprise: "The player recommended by Baggio? That must have a bright future. Okay, we can fly from London to Florence first. After inspecting this player, we will go to South Africa. Finally, we will fly to South America."

Liu Yun returned home.Isabella has already prepared dinner.

During the meal, Liu Yun said to Isabella: "This trip to inspect the players is estimated to take 20 days before returning home. You take good care of Little Coke at home."

Isabella shrugged her shoulders: "Oh, our eldest daughter is married. Now you have to leave again. This house is empty. When you go home, I will go to Huaguo and continue to be a poor mountainous area in East Hand charity project."

Liu Yun took the spoon and coaxed the three-year-old Coke to eat.

"Cola, open your mouth, ah~"

In the spoon is a piece of organic cauliflower.

Little Coke gritted his teeth, shaking his head like a rattle.This guy is a serious picky eater.

Liu Yun had no choice but to coax his daughter: "It is said that children who eat cauliflower will have a pair of wings when they grow up, and they can fly to the sky."

Little Coke blinked his eyes: "Really?"

Taking advantage of Little Coke's mouth opening, Liu Yun, who has quick eyes and quick hands, immediately stabbed the cauliflower into Little Coke's mouth.

"That's right! As long as you chew the cauliflower and eat it, you can grow wings when you grow up."

Liu Yun complained to Isabella: "I think coaxing our little daughter to eat vegetables is much more difficult than scoring goals at the Ricoh Stadium."

Isabella said: "Why don't you go back to Huaguo to inspect the players this time? If you go to Huaguo to inspect the players, I can go with you."

Liu Yun sighed: "The value of Huaguo players has long been skyrocketed. The transfer fees for third- and fourth-rate players at the level of the League Two are several million euros. The price-performance ratio of Huaguo players is too low. Our transfer fees are limited. , can’t satisfy the lions of the Huaguo Club.”

Isabella said: "I don't understand you Huaguo more and more. Those children in poor areas can't even afford a decent lunch. Sometimes a steamed bun with some pickles is their school lunch. The house in Yanjing can reach tens of thousands of pounds per square meter. The player's worth is also the same. According to your statement, the Huachao is only at the level of League One and League Two, but the player's worth is at the top level of the Premier League."

Liu Yun said with a smile: "I have lived in Huaguo for 45 years, and I still don't understand the affairs of Huaguo. You have only been a daughter-in-law of Huaguo for four years. How can you understand Huaguo?"

Isabella added: "I was really moved by those children from Huaguo. I visited a school in a mountain area last winter. One child walked eight miles to school in the snow. When he arrived at the school, his hair was on There's a stubble of ice."

After Liu Yun fed the baby Coke, he scratched Coke's nose: "You should be sent back to your hometown in Handong, where you can eat steamed buns with pickles for a few months."

Liu Yun turned to Isabella again and said, "My wife, what you are doing now is something that may change the fate of these children. It is a great thing. I will fully support you."

Isabella said: "Yes, knowledge can always change a person's destiny. Just like our eldest daughter. Although I object to her decision to return to China, I have to admit that three years of college life , has turned her from a wayward little girl into a thoughtful and cultivated mature woman. By the way, she called me today. She and Qu have arrived in Paris. I guess they are having dinner under the Eiffel Tower now Woolen cloth."

Little Coke suddenly danced and shouted: "Remember to ask my sister to bring me a gift!"

Liu Yun scratched Little Coke's nose: "If your sister forgets, no one will forget you. When you grow up, you will make money to buy hundreds of clothes for your sister. From your birth to now, la There are probably hundreds of your sister's clothes that Papa and Pee destroyed."

After dinner, Liu Yun turned on the TV.

SKY TV is reporting the latest developments in the Premier League transfer period:
Manchester United signed the No.1 player in the summer break-Dortmund's 21-year-old wing star Pulisic.It is reported that Pulisic's transfer fee is 6000 million pounds.

Liu Yun sighed: Manchester United is still rich and powerful.The transfer fee for buying a demon star is three times the entire transfer fee budget of Coventry.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered a famous saying from his hometown in Handong: rich people have their own way of life, and poor people have their own way of life.

Besides, Yaoxing also came from an unknown and humble young player.

Maybe this trip can find treasure?
hope so.
