Wembley Stadium press room.
The Wembley Stadium press hall once held a press conference when England won the World Cup in 66. Today, the winners of a second-tier team are ushered in here.
Next to Liu Yun are the head coach George Sr., teammates Qu Bai and Alexander.On the other side are Chelsea coach Conte and captain Hazard.
Naturally, Liu Yun became the protagonist of the post-match press conference!
"Hello, old lieutenant. I'm a reporter from the BBC. Coventry has made history. Became the first English fourth-tier team to win the FA Cup. It has to be said that it is a miracle. May I ask you to create How did you feel after this miracle?"
Liu Yun made an unexpected move.He took out the security bag from inside his jersey.Then he took out the lottery ticket given to him by the old Major Franco from the safety bag.
Liu Yun showed the lottery ticket to the media, and said: "Before the start of the FA Cup, the odds of Coventry winning the championship were 1 to 6500. Well, as far as I know, the William Hill bookmaker once issued The odds of Martians invading Earth within ten years are 1 to 6000. In other words, in the eyes of the world, the probability of Coventry winning the FA Cup is even lower than that of Martians invading Earth!"
Liu Yun's words caused a burst of laughter from the reporters.
Liu Yun said with a smile: "This lottery ticket was given to me by a Coventry fan named Franco before the start of the FA Cup. It is 100 pounds and I can buy Coventry to win the championship."
The media was surprised for a while.You know, if you buy Coventry for £100 to win the championship, according to the odds at the time of purchase, you can now earn a bonus of £50!The British economy has been sluggish these years, and 50 pounds is a huge sum of money for ordinary people!
Liu Yun continued: "This old Major Franco is over 90 years old and a veteran of World War II. He personally experienced the Dunkirk retreat."
Speaking of the Dunkirk evacuation, all the British in the press hall burst into pride.During the Cold War, the Eastern camp called the Battle of Stalingrad the turning point of World War II.The Western camp regards the Dunkirk retreat as a turning point in World War II.
Liu Yun also said: "Before the start of the FA Cup, betting on Coventry to win the championship seemed to be a guaranteed loss. Some people said that it would be better to just give the money to the bookmaker. Major Franco has been doing it for nearly 80 years. A Coventry fan. He persistently supports the team. He believes that he will be able to see Coventry win the FA Cup again in his lifetime."
Liu Yun showed the reverse side of the lottery ticket to the media: "Old Major Franco wrote a sentence on the back of the lottery ticket: As long as you stand in the wind, pigs can fly into the sky! He gave this lottery ticket to me. I know Remember what he said when he gave me the lottery ticket."
Liu Yun put the lottery ticket into the safety bag.Then he said: "He said to me: Miracles will always happen. Like Dunkirk in France in 1940. The whole world thought that the Anglo-French alliance was over and Hitler would rule the whole of Europe. Yet a miracle happened, We made it back to England and finally drove that bastard Hitler to suicide!"
After Liu Yun finished speaking, there was thunderous applause in the news hall.
After the applause stopped, Liu Yun continued: "What I want to say is. I firmly believe what the old Major Franco said to me: Miracles will always happen in this world! Maybe Coventry is a weak team, maybe people all over the world I am not optimistic about Coventry. However, we have the belief that we must win, and we have the support of countless fans like the old Major Franco and Mrs. Hudson. We have created a miracle! The reporter just now asked me how I feel now. My The mood is naturally extremely excited now! Thank you to those fans who silently supported the Coventry team! Thank you! It is you who gave our players strength!"
After Liu Yun finished speaking, there was another round of applause in the news hall.Even Chelsea's coach Conte and captain Hazard couldn't help applauding Liu Yun.
A reporter from The Sun, Britain's number one football gossip newspaper, asked an inappropriate question: "Excuse me, old Lieutenant. Old Major Franco has given you the lottery ticket. Legally speaking, you are the £50 lottery ticket." The rightful owner of the bonus. What will you do with the bonus?"
Liu Yun replied: "I will return all the prize money to the old Major Franco. This lottery ticket has brought luck to our team, which is enough. The old Major Franco has supported the Coventry team for half a century. , he can accept the £50 bonus with peace of mind!"
"Hi, Coach Conte. I'm a reporter from The Times. Chelsea have the best players in the Premier League. But they still lost to Coventry. Coach Conte, how do you feel about this loss?"
The Times reporter's question was somewhat provocative.
Conte replied gracefully: "We lost to a group of warriors who are not afraid of strong enemies. We are convinced! Also, Coventry City is not as weak as everyone thinks. Because they have talented players-old lieutenant Liu! "
This is Conte's greatest affirmation of Coventry and Liu Yun.
"Hello, Coach George. You led the team to win the FA Cup again after 30 years. How do you feel now?"
Old George smiled: "First of all, I want to correct you a question. When Coventry won the championship 30 years ago, I was 31 years old and I was just a substitute player for the team. At that time, I could not be regarded as leading the team to win the championship. As for the feelings? I I want to borrow a mantra from the old lieutenant: as long as you stand in the air, pigs can fly into the sky! In addition to thanking the fans, I would also like to thank our field captain, the old lieutenant. He joined the team in the second half of the season. As the team's Spiritual leader, goal machine, he led Coventry, who was in the middle of the league in the first half of the league, to the League One next season. He won the FA Cup. He is a great player!"
The reporter asked again: "'Great'? Is this your evaluation of Liu?"
Old George replied: "Of course, I don't think everyone present has any doubts about Liu's greatness, right? How much courage and perseverance does it take for a player to return to the green field at the age of 45? After he returns to the green field In this year, he first helped the Huaguo team win the C-League Championship, and at the same time became the top scorer in the Huaguo C-League. He also helped Coventry enter the League One and became the Golden Boot of the League Two. Now, he is even more Led the team to the FA Cup and became the FA Cup Golden Boot. Besides the word great, what other adjective is worthy of our old lieutenant?"
"Hello, old lieutenant, I'm a reporter from the Daily Mail. As we all know, you will definitely leave the team after this season. Where is your next stop?"
Liu Yun will not give a positive answer.His agent Goodman repeatedly urged him to keep Manchester United's interest in him secret.
Liu Yun's answer is quite oriental wisdom: "What's the next stop? I'm not a prophet, and I can't predict the future. I can only say, do your best and obey the destiny."
