Chapter 113 Dear, what are you talking about dear?
Liu Yun fell asleep on the plane.After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he felt someone poke his shoulder.Liu Yun opened his eyes and saw Zhang Li's delicate face.
Zhang Li smiled and said, "Old Liu, London is here!"
Unlike the warm welcome at Zhujiang Airport, there were neither Liu Yun fans nor media reporters who picked him up in London.Only Ada, a scout from the Coventry team, drove a classic Rover to pick up Liu Yun.
"Liu, welcome to England." Ada said to Liu Yun.
It is only about 150 kilometers from London to Coventry, and it takes an hour and a half to drive.The University of West Midlands, where Zhang Li is going to report, is located in Birmingham.The cities of Birmingham and Coventry are about 15 minutes away by car.Because it was on the way, Ada showed the demeanor of a British gentleman and took the initiative to pick up Zhang Li, an oriental beauty.
Ada drove Liu Yun and Zhang Li on the road.The road leading to Coventry is lined with lush forests and patches of grass.It's early autumn, and the trees in the area have turned golden yellow, which is especially beautiful against the green grass and blue sky.
While driving, Ada chatted with Liu Yun indifferently.Liu Yun couldn't understand a lot of English, so Zhang Li simply pretended to be Liu Yun's translator.
Edda said: "I went to Cape Town to recruit a 21-year-old black South African striker named Manla. If there is no accident, you will be his third substitute."
Liu Yun was stunned: "The third substitute?"
Ada replied: "Yes, our head coach George Sr. has been letting the team play 451 tactics this year - defensive counterattack, single arrow forward. The team now has two substitute forwards, this one is called Manla The black striker is a speed player, which fits the requirements of defensive counterattack tactics. So he will definitely become the main striker. And you should be the third substitute striker after the other two substitutes."
Liu Yun thought in his heart, so it would be very difficult for him to have a chance to play.
Ada added: "It is clearly written in the lease contract that the team will take care of your life in the UK. We rented a house for you in downtown Coventry. The landlord is a 70-year-old man - Hudson Ma'am. At the same time, she will also take care of your daily life. By the way, her husband passed away last year."
Liu Yun interpreted Ada's words as the team finding a nanny for him.In fact, this is not the case.In the UK, the landlord rents the house to the tenant, and he does not have to move out.If the tenant pays more money, the landlord can also let the landlord take care of his own food and living.
Liu Yun said, "Thank you."
Ada smiled wryly: "Because of recruiting you into the team, the head coach Old George almost shot me to death with his Winchester shotgun. You must perform well in the team."
Liu Yun smiled: "Don't worry. I will do what a third substitute striker should do."
Ada first sent Zhang Li to the University of West Midlands in Birmingham, and then drove Liu Yun to Coventry Club.
Coventry FC is located at the Ricoh Stadium in downtown Coventry.Coventry FC are the owners of the Ricoh Stadium.Naturally, the Ricoh Stadium is also home to Coventry.
The Ricoh Stadium can hold about 3 people.In China, it is impossible for teams in the fourth tier league to have their own fixed stadium.Not to mention that the stadium can accommodate more than 3 people.
Ada took Liu Yun to the office of head coach George Sr.
Old George is a white-haired British man in his 60s.Medium-sized, probably less than 1.8 meters.The most conspicuous feature of the face is the huge and incomparably big nose.He wore a brown waistcoat and tie, looking like an old English gentleman.
Ada introduced Liu Yun to Old George.
Old George first shook hands with Liu Yun, and then looked up and down suspiciously at Liu Yun.
Liu Yun had the feeling of being interrogated with someone's gaze.
Old George finally said: "Liu, to be honest, I have doubts about whether you can adapt to the rhythm of the game in the second division. I recruited you into the team because of Ada's strong recommendation. He is a professional player. Tan, I think he must have good reasons for recommending you so much. The second is because I watched some videos of your games. In a certain game, you dragged your injured leg with cramps and injuries, and insisted on taking free kicks And kill the opponent at the last moment... I see a spirit in you, a spirit that the British and Coventry people also have-that is, never give up even in disaster. "
Old George babbled a lot, but Liu Yun was confused!He only understands the words "free kick" (free kick) and "injured" (injury).
Old George paused, and continued: "It is an adventure for me to rent a 45-year-old player into the team. But fortunately, your position in the team is not important, just the third substitute forward But you can't relax, football is not just a sport for eleven players. Club staff and substitute players can also affect the outcome of the game at times. You just arrived in Coventry, first let Ada take you to settle Check out your accommodation. On the weekend three days later, we will host Oxford United in the sixth round of League No.20, and you can come to the scene as a spectator to experience the atmosphere of League Two. After the weekend league is over, you will officially join the team to participate in training."
"OK".Liu Yun knows that the word OK is a panacea used all over the world.In Liu Yun's consciousness, what the head coach of the team said was the imperial decree. Since it is an imperial decree, all he needs to do is answer OK.
After the old George finished speaking, he talked at length about the glorious history of the Coventry team.The British are like this, like to talk about the glory of history.He talked for a full 20 minutes, but Liu Yun was still confused - he had no idea what he was talking about!
Old George looked at Liu Yun's puzzled eyes, and suddenly realized something: "Liu, can you understand English?"
Liu Yun can understand this sentence: "A little bit". (A little bit).
Old George shook his head helplessly: "Okay." He turned to Ada and said, "Ada, take him to his residence and settle down."
Ada led Liu Yun to the residence.This is a small three-storey building in downtown Coventry.Ada rang the doorbell, and the door opened. A kindly old English lady with white hair came out, she looked about six or seventy years old, and the wrinkles on her face looked like dry bark.A pair of eyes looked friendly and curious at Liu Yun, a yellow man from the east.
Liu Yun knew that this should be Mrs. Hudson that Ada mentioned.
Liu Yun stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mrs. Hudson."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hudson gave Liu Yun an unexpected English hug.When the hug was over, Mrs. Hudson said, "Welcome, child from the East. Come in quickly."
Mrs. Hudson showed Liu Yun and Ada around his room.His room is on the second floor.The room on the ground floor belonged to Mrs. Hudson.After some visits, Ada left. He said to Liu Yun: "You have a good rest. Go to the Ricoh Stadium to watch the team's home game on the weekend. Wait until Monday to officially report to the team."
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment—he could only understand the word "rest" that Ada said.
After Ada left, Liu Yun came to his room and sat there.Mrs. Hudson brought him a cup of coffee: "Drink, boy."
After speaking, Mrs. Hudson turned and left.
Liu Yun took a sip of coffee—almost spat it out.too bitter!He didn't know that Mrs. Hudson had placed a sugar bowl next to the coffee cup.
Liu Yun looked around his room. The room was very spacious. He roughly estimated that the room was sixty to seventy square meters.There is a huge bookshelf to the west and a huge fireplace to the east.The room is divided into two by a half wall. One side of the wall is the bedroom with a huge wooden bed.This wooden bed seems to be some years old, and the wood is shiny.The white sheets and pillows are very clean.It was obvious that Mrs. Hudson was very good at tidying up her home.
Liu Yun sat on the bed, feeling melancholy.Now I am simply dumb and deaf.He can't understand what others say, and he can only speak a few limited daily expressions.This is how to do?
Suddenly, Liu Yun's phone rang, and it was Zhang Li who called: "Hey, Lao Liu, there is a problem with the university. The report email they sent me has a date problem, and my official course will start in one and a half months. .For a month and a half, I am homeless! I have to rent a house in Birmingham for a month and a half."
Liu Yun was overjoyed and forgot: "That is to say, you have nothing to do in the next one and a half months? Team doctor Zhang, team doctor Zhang, you are really my life-saving straw! Don't rent a house in Birmingham, come to Coventry and do it. My translator. I'll rent a house for you! I'll pay you!"
