Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 132 As long as you stand in the air, pigs can fly into the sky

Liu Yun and Zhang Li returned to Coventry with coach George Sr.This trip to London cleared up Liu Yun's innocence, and Liu Yun can focus on preparing for the first round of the FA Cup against Portsmouth.

After consecutive victories over Portsmouth and Doncaster, the first and second teams in the league, the morale of the Coventry team is high.The atmosphere within the team is also united and can no longer be united.The boss of the locker room, Alexander, even said that in the team from now on, Liu Yun's opinion will be his opinion, and Liu Yun's idea will be his idea.

At 12:[-] on Friday, Liu Yun finished his morning training and Zhang Li returned to his residence.Mrs. Hudson was not busy in the kitchen as usual.She stared at the TV in the living room without moving her eyes.

Seeing Liu Yun and Zhang Li coming back, Mrs. Hudson hurriedly stopped them: "Come and watch TV! Deng Fei from SKY TV is going to kiss Bob's ass!"

Liu Yun and Zhang Li came to the TV.

This is a hot sports talk show on SKY TV.In the program, the host asked Deng Fei: "The Football Association has announced the results of the urine test on the 45-year-old Huaguo player Liu of the Coventry team. Sir Anderson from the Fair Play Department of the Football Association even bluntly stated that Liu Yun is innocent. Deng Fei , what do you think of this matter?"

Although Deng Fei is known as "big mouth", "big mouth" is just his commentary style.To put it bluntly, he attracts the audience with his unique commentary style and stabilizes his position in the English Division [-] of SKY TV.

The British SKY TV station is inextricably linked with the Football Association. This year, SKY TV station invested 2 million pounds to win the broadcast contract of the Football Association's games.Dunphy would not be foolish enough to question the results of a urine test.Because to question the results of the urine test is to question the authority of the FA.If he did that, would he still want to work in SKY TV station?

Deng Fei said to the host: "Oh, maybe I really misunderstood Liu. Well, we Brits are all decent people who pay attention to integrity. Last time I broadcast the match between Coventry and Doncaster, I said that if Liu is innocent and I'll kiss Bob's ass. Well, I'll keep my promise now!"

Dunphy's commentary partner, Bob, sticks out his ass—and, of course, he's wearing pants.

Deng Fei leaned down, with a disgusted expression on her face, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and kissed Bob's ass.There was a burst of laughter at the scene of the show. . . . . .

Liu Yun turned off the TV and said to Mrs. Hudson, "This Dunphy is really boring."

Mrs. Hudson said: "He dared to insult my child, this is God's punishment for him. By the way, this weekend, in the first round of the FA Cup, Coventry will play against those Portsmouth bastards at a neutral court. Because it is a deadly enemy I can't go to cheer you with Gloria and Manny. Alger and Luke will go to watch the battle. Come on my child, God will bless you!"

Zhang Li said: "Old Liu, Mrs. Hudson, I went upstairs to pack my luggage. Although my class starts in three days, I want to leave early and leave tomorrow."

Liu Yun felt a sense of loss in his heart.Humans are emotional animals.What's more, Liu Yun is a healthy man?How can I not develop some feelings during the time spent with a beautiful woman like Zhang Li day and night?

However, Liu Yun knew that it was impossible for him and Zhang Li.People from different eras have different outlooks on life, values, and worldviews.It is better not to have any unrealistic fantasies.

As soon as the afternoon training session ended, Liu Yun and Mrs. Hudson went to the station to see Zhang Li off.

Zhang Li said to Liu Yun: "Old Liu, you must learn English well after I leave. Only by mastering this language can you truly integrate into this country and the football circle here. You are a man with extraordinary courage and perseverance. man, I believe you will be able to succeed."

After speaking, Zhang Li stretched out her hand and shook hands with Liu Yun.

Mrs. Hudson also hugged Zhang Li: "God bless you, my child. Goodbye."

Zhang Li got into the car, and Liu Yun and Mrs. Hudson waved goodbye.

After Zhang Li left, Mrs. Hudson suggested: "Son, let me go to the supermarket with this old lady."

"Okay!" Liu Yun offered to stretch out his hand, and Mrs. Hudson took his arm.Liu Yun deliberately slowed down his pace so that Mrs. Hudson could keep up.

At sunset, Liu Yun and Mrs. Hudson are like mother and child.

They entered a TESCO supermarket. TESCO supermarket is a well-known cheap supermarket in the UK, with chain stores all over the British Isles.

Gambling is legal in the UK. There is a William Hill gaming company's lottery betting machine at the cash register of the TESCO supermarket.

Liu Yun and Mrs. Hudson finished shopping and were checking out at the cashier when a gray-haired old man pushed open the door with a cane and walked tremblingly into the TESCO supermarket.

The cashier seemed to know Mrs. Hudson well.She said to Mrs. Hudson, "Look, Mrs. Hudson, Major Franco's back at the bookies."

The female cashier called the gray-haired old man Major Franco.This is because the 92-year-old Franco has participated in World War II.At the end of World War II his rank was major.In the United Kingdom, military rank is a lifelong honorary title.Franco is a native of Coventry and a true 80-year-old fan of the Coventry team.Every year before the start of the FA Cup, he would go to the TESCO supermarket to buy a £100 lottery ticket, betting on Coventry to win the FA Cup.

In the past ten years, the odds offered by the William Hill bookmaker for winning the FA Cup, the Coventry team is more than 1 to 5000. It reached 1 to 6500.You know, before the start of the Asian qualifiers for the last World Cup, the odds for the Chinese team to win the World Cup were 1 to 3500!That is to say, in the view of the gaming company, the probability of Coventry winning the FA Cup is even smaller than the probability of the Chinese men's football team winning the World Cup!

Buying Coventry to win the FA Cup is tantamount to giving money to the bookmakers.

However, the white-haired Major Franco still insisted on buying Coventry every year to win the championship.His love for the Coventry team can be seen from this.

Major Franco went to the cash register.The female cashier asked: "Major Franco, is it still the same as in previous years? Buy 100 pounds? Coventry wins the championship?"

Major Franco nodded: "Yes. If you buy one for 100 pounds, Coventry will win."

The female cashier shook her head: "Major Franco, what you're doing is tantamount to handing over £100 to the group of vampires in the gaming company."

Major Franco smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together like dry bark: "There will always be miracles. It's like the port of Dunkirk in France in 1940. The whole world thought that the British and French allied forces were finished. Well, Hitler would rule all of Europe. Yet by a miracle, we managed to retreat back to England and finally drove that bastard Hitler to suicide."

The cashier played the lottery ticket for the ninety-year-old Franco and handed it to him.

Franco took the lottery ticket and glanced at Liu Yun and Mrs. Hudson next to him.With blurred old eyes, he looked at Liu Yun carefully: "Old lieutenant? Liu? Are you the 45-year-old Huaguo player who humiliated the Portsmouth bastard?"

Liu Yun nodded: "Old man, it's me."

Old Franco didn't speak any more, put his crutches aside, silently took out his reading glasses from his pocket, asked the cashier for a pen, and wrote a line on the back of the lottery ticket he just got.

He turned around and handed the lottery ticket to Liu Yun.Liu Yun didn't know what he meant.

"Take it, kid. I'll give it to you. The lottery ticket will bring you and the team good luck. God bless you." Major Franco turned around with difficulty after speaking, and left on crutches.

Liu Yun turned over the back of the lottery ticket.The sentence above is very simple, and Liu Yun can understand it.

That's a famous English proverb:

"As long as you stand in the wind, pigs can fly into the sky."

　Thanks to the bookworm who lost his account for the reward of 1000 starting coins.As long as you stand in the air, pigs can fly into the sky.This sentence was taught to us by my foreign language teacher when I was in Shandong University of Economics (now Shanda University of Finance and Economics).It sounded like nothing at the time.Graduation, confusion, hesitation, part-time job, starting a business, failing, starting a new business, failing again to the present stability. . . . It took 10 years to realize the meaning of this sentence.By the way, some book friends questioned the odds. .The odds of Leicester City winning the title last year were 1:5000.
