Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 237 I want both the old lieutenant and the fast horse

Woodward shook his head in disappointment.

Chief scout Cook is really suffering.Huaguo has a population of 13 billion, but only 8000 registered professional players.The league level of Huaguo is still there. It is already very difficult to pick these four players from the 8000 people for Woodward to choose.

Woodward lit a Cuban cigar: "Is it true that there is no Huaguo player who has a high reputation in China and can attract the attention of a large number of Huaguo fans. At the same time, can our fans accept it?"

Cook suddenly thought of someone.He said to Woodward: "Yes, there are... This man is an inspirational idol for young people in China, and he has a very high reputation in China. He is also the double golden boot of the League Two and the FA Cup this season. .But, he's 45 years old!"

Woodward's eyes lit up: "You mean, the old lieutenant Liu of the Coventry team in the second division? I have seen reports on him in the "Guardian" and "The Times"..."

Mourinho shook his head like a rattle: "A 45-year-old player? No way! What will the physical condition and competitive level of a 45-year-old player look like? If the club really introduces a 45-year-old player, I can only let him He was on the bench. And . . . was on the bench for the reserves."

Cook added: "And this player is not a member of the Huaguo national team. The video of his scoring goals in the second division has gone crazy in the scouting circle. However, no Premier League club is willing to take the risk of introducing him."

Kelin, the chief barrister of Manchester United next to Cook, interjected: "Isn't this player a member of the Huaguo national team? Applying for a labor certification is also a problem. You can't apply for a special talent clause for a 45-year-old person? You know we use The special talent clause has introduced many U19 and U21 players. I have never seen a 45-year-old special talent! The Ministry of Labor will not pass the test."

Woodward thought for a while and said to Cook: "You said you have video of him playing?"

Cook replied: "Yes."

Woodward said again: "You play his game video and we can see."

Cook obeyed and connected the phone to the big screen in the office.

Corner kicks, free kicks at critical moments, all kinds of exquisite moves, all kinds of goals after breakthroughs, all kinds of wonderful passes and assists.

Woodward, Mourinho, Kling, and Cook watched Liu Yun's game video clip for 10 minutes.

Woodward sighed: "It's amazing that a 45-year-old super-old player can still maintain such a competitive state. If he is 25 years old, I will definitely use all means to dig him into the team. ! The old guy is really good."

Cook smiled.I thought to myself, I have said the same thing to Liu Yun himself.

Woodward added: "His awareness, dribbling, shooting skills and footwork are all very good."

Mourinho then said: "Well, I admit that this person is indeed outstanding among a group of League Two players. However, the Premier League and League Two are very different. His age determines that his physical condition cannot adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League. confrontation."

Woodward smiled at Mourinho: "Whether to introduce him is my business. Whether to put him on the bench or even the reserve team is your team coach's business."

Cook added: "Well, this player has a huge fan base in Huaguo. Huaguo's Splash Weibo is equivalent to our Facebook. He has tens of millions of fans on it. , he should be the most well-known and best-known player in the entire country!"

Barrister Kelin still shook his head: "But... what about the labor certificate? Is it really necessary to use the special genius clause?"

Woodward asked Kling back: "A 45-year-old player who returned to the game in his middle age. He almost single-handedly sent the team to the League One and the FA Cup final. Such a person counts Is he considered a genius? British law should not stipulate the upper limit of the age of a genius, right? If, I mean if, he can lead the team to defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup final, defeating an opponent that is almost impossible to beat, you Can he be accepted by our Manchester United fans?"

Kelin took a sip of coffee and replied: "You are the boss. As long as you decide, our legal department will fully support you. However, to apply for special talent clauses, you need to obtain the approval of the FA first, and then pass the hearing of the Ministry of Labor." Approval from the judging committee. The first step, whether to obtain the consent of the Football Association is a problem."

Woodward waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about the FA. I have my own way. Your legal department only needs to prepare for the hearing of the Ministry of Labor."

The reason why Woodward is confident to get the FA is because he has a strong ally-former Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.Ferguson has extensive connections at the upper echelons of the FA.As long as Ferguson is invited to lobby, this matter will definitely take shape.

The thing to do after the FA is settled is to file a lawsuit with the Ministry of Labor!
Mourinho said: "No matter what the real level of this player is. I am still looking forward to the FA Cup final between Coventry and Chelsea. You know, there has been no fourth-tier league in the FA Cup for nearly 30 years. The team reached the final! Let's hope the boys from Chelsea can put an end to the biggest dark horse in the FA Cup."

Mourinho has coached Chelsea for many years and single-handedly built the Chelsea dynasty.He has a deep affection for this team.

Woodward turned the topic to Qu Bai again: "As for the Hua Guo teenager. I think he can be recruited and then loaned to the Belgian club Antwerp. After all, he has only one, and he has a bright future. After practicing in the Belgian league, maybe he will be able to take on a big job in the future."

Woodward has made his point. I want both the 45-year-old Hua Guo super senior player Lieutenant and Hua Guo's "Son of the Wind" Qu Bo!
Coventry, hundreds of kilometers away.

There are three more days until the FA Cup final day.Old George is leading a group of disciples to step up preparations for the battle.

Liu Yun and Qu Bai had no idea that the Premier League giants Manchester United had taken a fancy to them.

Liu Yun has even started to learn Spanish in private.Fortunately, he has a professional agent Goodman.Originally, Liu Yun had already planned to sign an early contract with the West Division Gijon team.Goodman persuaded Liu Yun: It is better to put this kind of signing at the end of the transfer period.

Goodman's suggestion left Liu Yun with a glimmer of hope to join Manchester United.
