Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 668 Life is long
Coventry 3:1 Manchester City!The old lieutenant's goal pushed Manchester City to a dead end!
Two goals behind, the actions of Manchester City players became more rough.The smell of gunpowder on the field is getting stronger and stronger.

A strange feeling suddenly flashed in Liu Yun's heart.It felt like when I was setting up a breakfast stall back then, I found a person in urban control uniform walking towards his stall—it was fear, an inexplicable fear.

Liu Yun shook his head and told himself: Concentrate, this game is too critical.It is the first time that Coventry has been tested by a strong opponent this season. . . . .

In the 74th minute, Bai Rifeng passed the ball obliquely into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.The old lieutenant Liu Yun rushed into the penalty area to compete for the top.

When all the Coventry fans in front of the TV were looking forward to another magical performance from the old lieutenant in the penalty area-an accident happened!

Liu Yun and Stones took off at the same time to compete for the top.

"Bang~"

Liu Yun jumped backwards, and the back of his head hit Stones' forehead at 45 degrees!
Liu Yun, the 51-year-old football legend, crashed to the ground!

Teammates gathered around.Liu Yun struggled to stand up.He said to himself in his heart: This game is too critical, we must persist until the final whistle blows, we must persist. . .

Liu Yun barely stood up, but his body shook for a while—he fell on the turf again and lost consciousness.

The team doctor entered the field urgently.A few minutes later, an ambulance roared out of Manchester City Stadium.

----

At the press conference an hour later, the media reporters didn't care about the 1:3 final score.They have only one question - old lieutenant, what happened?
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the Manchester Municipal Hospital made a preliminary diagnosis for Liu Yun who was in a coma: a severe concussion led to a vegetative state, an irreversible coma, and a complete loss of cognitive ability-in short, the old lieutenant Liu Yun became a vegetative state!
At 2 o'clock in the evening, Coventry held an emergency press conference to announce Liu Yun's injury to the media.

The whole of Britain, the whole of Europe, and the whole world were shocked!
The next day, Coventry, Manchester, Cape Town, Paris, Madrid, Yanjing. . . . .Fans of the old lieutenant from all over the world spontaneously held candlelight blessing activities for Liu Yun in their cities.They believed that the wonderful old lieutenant would not sleep forever.He will definitely create a miracle, return to the green field again, and contribute one wonderful goal after another to the fans!

Miracles don't happen every time.

Manchester City Hospital.

Liu Yun has been in a deep sleep for three whole days.

In the office of the attending doctor Salam, there are Liu Yun's wife Isabella, eldest daughter Liu Xiaoyan, and son-in-law Qu Bai.

Salam closed the case and said to Isabella: "The top neurologist in the UK has consulted with your husband. With all due respect, the chance of him waking up is almost one percent."

Isabella and Liu Xiaoyan, mother and daughter, hugged each other and cried.

Little Coke pushed open the office door, and she tugged at the corner of Isabella's clothes: "Mommy, why is Dad still sleeping? He's been sleeping for three days like a big lazy pig... "

Brother-in-law Qu Bai picked up Coke and coaxed him, "Dad is too tired. He needs a good rest."

------

ten months later. June 2024, 6.Champions League final day.

Inside the intensive care unit at Coventry Red Cross Hospital.Liu Yun still fell asleep peacefully.

Isabella, Little Coke, Liu Xiaoyan, and Qu Bai were by his side.In Liu Xiaoyan's arms, she was holding a 5-month-old little ball.

The old lieutenant Liu Yun has been in a coma for a whole season!The Premier League is over.In this season, the Coventry boys tried their best to win one victory after another in the absence of the old lieutenant.In the standings, they took turns sharing the top position with the Red Devils Manchester United-unfortunately, in the last round, they were defeated by Manchester United 2:1 at the Ricoh Stadium, and unfortunately missed the championship by one point. . . . .

Frustrated in the league, proud in the cup.Coventry won the FA Cup and League Cup double after missing out on the league title.Today, they will compete with Real Madrid for the Champions League title in Moscow.

Qu Bai turned on the TV in the ward and turned the volume to the maximum.

Isabella sat by the hospital bed and said to the unconscious Liu Yun: "Liu, the Champions League final is here! Boys from Coventry, you are about to stand on the top of Europe tonight. You should also get up. You are here for Coventry This team has done so much. Now, it's time to get up and watch the Celeste become the best team in Europe as a family!"

Liu Yun, who was in a coma, still didn't reply.

In 90 minutes, Coventry and Real Madrid drew 1:1.

In overtime, Coventry was defeated by Real Madrid at the beginning.

In the 119th minute, Bai Rifeng scored a 30-meter long-range shot worth a fortune at the most critical moment! 2: 2 tie!The game goes to a penalty shootout!

Penalty shootout first round, penalty shootout second round. . . . . .Sixth round!

Real Madrid's striker misses a penalty!
Bai Rifeng stood in front of the penalty spot.As long as he scores this goal, Coventry will win the Champions League trophy!
The daytime wind on the court looked up at the stars in the Moscow night sky.He seemed to see Liu Yun's kind face in the night sky.

"Old Lieutenant, please grant me strength!"

Daytime wind run up, start!The ball went in!

Coventry, the Champions League Champions of the new season!

Edda, Garrincha, Bebeto. . . .Coventry's players and coaches frantically rushed towards Bai Rifeng, pressing him under him.

In Liu Yun's ward, Isabella and Liu Xiaoyan hugged each other.

Little Coke jumped onto his father's hospital bed and shouted loudly: "Coventry is the champion of the Champions League~ ahaha!"

Liu Yun's granddaughter Xiao Qiuqiu, who was in her infancy, seemed to be cheering for Coventry's victory.She "babbled" and waved her little hands.

"cough~"

There was a cough in the ward.

The family looked at each other.

Their eyes moved to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun, who had been in a coma for ten months, opened his eyes.

Isabella rushed to Liu Yun: "Liu, you damn bastard, you finally woke up! Do you know that you have been asleep for ten months?"

The tears of his wife Isabella fell down.

Liu Yun coughed again: "Ten months? I slept for ten months? Strange, I seemed to have a dream. The dream was very short, only a few ten minutes. I dreamed that I was setting up a breakfast stall on the street in Handong , the city management came to chase me. I ran and ran, but I still couldn't get rid of the city management..."

------

Three years later, in 2027, Huaguo, Shenyang, New Wulihe Stadium.

Women's World Cup final, Huaguo Women's Football VS US Women's Football.

Wulihe Stadium is a blessed place for Chinese football. 26 years ago, it was at the Wulihe Stadium that the national football team relied on a goal by Yu Genwei to beat the Oman team by one goal and entered the finals of the World Cup.

In 2007, Wulihe Stadium was demolished.

Three years ago, a new professional football stadium was built in Shenyang—named New Wulihe to commemorate that wonderful night in 2001.

The Huaguo Men's Football team set the home field of the World Cup Asian qualifiers in Xinwulihe to pray for good luck.

It's a pity that the Huaguo men's football team once again failed in the World Cup qualifiers.They didn't even make it to the top [-] in the Asian region and were eliminated in the group stage of the Asian region.

New Wulihe failed to become a blessed place for men's football, but it has become a place where women's football's sonorous roses bloom!
In this Women's World Cup, the Huaguo Women's Football Team, relying on the advantages of the host, has passed all the way and advanced to the final, vowing to defend the World Cup champion at home!

The Huaguo women's football team and the US women's football team are truly equals. 1:1, 2:2, 3:3.The U.S. team took the lead three times, and was evened by the Huaguo Women's Football Team three times!
In overtime, neither side scored.

The brutal penalty shootout is about to begin!
Xiong Xi, captain of the Huaguo women's football team, walked to the coach's bench and patted the shoulder of the Huaguo women's football coach Liu Yun: "Director Liu, don't worry. In 10 minutes, you will be the head coach of the world champion team!"

Liu Yun nodded towards Xiong Xi, the favorite student: "Come on, little bear!"

Four years ago, Liu Yun, the old lieutenant of the legendary European superstar, suffered a severe concussion in the back of his head during a game against Manchester City, and was in a coma for ten months.Ten months later, he miraculously woke up and made a miraculous recovery.

After he recovered, he found that he could no longer adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the Premier League.He chose to retire and returned to his home country, Huaguo, to serve as the head coach of the Handong Rose Club in the Women's Super League.

Handong Rose is thriving in the Women's Super League.It coincided with the change of the association.The new chairman of the association and Liu Yun put aside their previous suspicions and recommended him to be the head coach of Huaguo Women's Football.

Now, the Huaguo women's football team led by Liu Yun is standing on the stage of the World Cup finals.

Penalty shootout begins!
4：3，4：4，5：4，5：5，6：5，6：6，7：6，7：6。。。。美国女足队长维莲娜罚丢了点球！
Xiong Xi, captain of Huaguo women's football team, stood in front of the penalty spot.

Before the free throw, she gave a thumbs up to the head coach Liu Yun on the sidelines.

Run up, shoot!The ball went in!The penalty shootout is over!World Cup Champion!Huaguo Women's Football!
On the commentary table, the famous commentator Huang Jianxiang froze again: "Xiong Xi has made great contributions! The great captain of the Huaguo women's football team. She has inherited the glorious tradition of the Huaguo women's football team! Sun Wen, Liu Ailing, and Zhao Lihong are possessed by their souls at this moment! She represents the long history and tradition of Huaguo Women's Football! At this moment, she is not fighting alone! She is not alone!"

New Wulihe Stadium is boiling!

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the singing of victory is loud and clear. We sing about our dear motherland, and we will be prosperous and strong from now on~~"

The singing of "Singing the Motherland" floated over the New Wulihe Stadium.

A month later, Yanjing.

October 2027, 10.Huaguo National Day.Baodao returned to the embrace of the motherland peacefully this year.The country decided to hold a grand military parade in Yanjing.

Liu Yun was lucky enough to have the opportunity to watch the military parade - he received two invitations to watch the ceremony.An invitation was issued by the National Sports Work Committee - Liu Yun's invitation status is the meritorious head coach of the Huaguo Women's Football Team.

One was issued by the General Assembly Department of the Army—Liu Yun was invited as a family member of the J-30 fighter R&D team.

On the viewing platform, teams of majestic warriors walked past one after another.Liu Yun is proud because he—was one of them!
After the review of the army phalanx, the air force phalanx came on stage.

Sixteen J-30 fighter jets flew to the scene.

Seven-year-old Coke raised his head, looked at the fighter plane, and asked his father, "Dad, is this the fighter plane designed by my sister?"

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes. When you grow up, you have to be like your sister and be a useful person!"

After watching the military parade and attending the National Day reception, Liu Yun took the bus and rushed to the Yanjiao training base with the women's football girls to prepare for the 2028 Cape Town Olympics.

Now Huaguo's cars have realized driverless driving.Sports news is being broadcast on the car TV of the bus: "This year, the competition for the European Ballon d'Or will be extremely fierce. Manchester United's Qubai and Coventry's daytime wind are like Messi and Ronaldo back then. . ..."

Fans always talk about it: the old lieutenant ended the Melo era.Three years ago, the era of the old lieutenant ended, and now it belongs to the era of Bai Rifeng and Qu Bai.

Liu Yun closed his eyes, trying to sleep for a while, but couldn't.

Liu Yun is a lucky man.At least after the age of 45, he is a lucky person who is favored by God.

He cast his eyes out of the window, and the leaves of the maple trees on both sides of the road were already red. . . . .

The story of the demon golden boot is over.Life is a long road, and Liu Yun's relatives and friends each have their own way to continue walking.

The eldest daughter, Liu Xiaoyan, became the leading fighter engineer in China and the youngest recipient of the National Science and Technology Medal.

Wife Isabella remains focused on her philanthropy.With her husband's influence in Europe, her charitable projects have won the support of many celebrities.Last year, she even made it to Time Magazine's annual list of the fifty most powerful women in the world.

The youngest daughter, Xiao Kele, is already in the top class of Kindergarten in Handong.She recently achieved a big event - 200 consecutive days without wetting the bed.

Liu Yun's god-brother, Seinfeld, continues to run his catering business.With the help of Liu Yun, his Yujia restaurant branch even opened to the UK.

Zhao Qiyou died of no illness at the age of 83.

Wang Qingqing continues to serve as the head coach of the Handong Rose women's football team.

Zhang Li and her husband Xu Haokai opened a bookstore in Yanjing.The book on the first row of the bookstore is a biography written by Zhang Li for the old lieutenant - "The Demon Golden Boot".

Edda went on to serve as the head coach of the Coventry team.

Mourinho also continued to stick to Old Trafford.He has become a Manchester United meritorious coach who can be compared with Ferguson.

Ibrahimovic has become the most successful outdoor hunting anchor in Europe.

The second uncle died of no illness at the age of 81.

Alger is still running a foreign trade business in Manchester.Every year when Liu Yun came to England for vacation, he and Alger would visit Mrs. Hudson's grave. . . .

------

In a bookstore outside Yanjing Xinhua Park.

A teenager, wearing a sky-blue Coventry City jersey, walks up to the bookshelves.

He picked up the first book "The Demon's Golden Boot" in front of the bookshelf.

On the title page is written the poem "Invincible" by the British poet William Henry:
"Through the night that covers me, I see layers of darkness. Thank you God for my unconquerable soul. Even if I am held tightly by hell, I will not fear, nor will I yield. Fate's blows, My head was covered with blood, but my head was raised.

Beyond the world of rage and sorrow looms shadows that are more than fear.Also, face future threats.You will find that I have nothing to fear.

No matter how narrow the gate of fate is, and no matter what kind of punishment one bears.I am the master of my destiny.I am the commander of my soul. "

Such verses are a bit difficult for a ten-year-old child to understand.

But seeing the photos of the old lieutenant in the book, he still made up his mind to buy the book with the 50 yuan pocket money he had saved.Then he told the stories in this book to his classmates.
