Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 114 Advance, Coventry

The one-way trip from Birmingham to Coventry took only 15 minutes. Not long after, Zhang Li came to Liu Yun's rented house.Liu Yun felt relieved, as if meeting a savior.The two found Mrs. Hudson, the landlord.

The landlady, Mrs. Hudson, is old and widowed, and her son's family is far away in Manchester.She wished the house would be more lively.She happily rented the third floor of the house to Zhang Li.

Ever since, Zhang Li transformed into Liu Yun's renter.Zhang Li called Ada again and said that Liu Yun couldn't understand the language.I hope she can be allowed to join the team with Liu Yun as an interpreter.Although only big-name players in top European clubs can be translated by the club.However, Zhang Li was a translator hired by Liu Yun out of his own pocket, and Ada also understood Liu Yun's language barrier.He readily agreed after asking Old George for instructions.

Coventry host Oxford United at the Ricoh Stadium on Sunday at 5pm.

Early on Sunday morning, Mrs. Hudson was busy.Her whole family are Coventry fans.Every league day, his son Alger always takes his wife and her two grandchildren back to Coventry to watch the game.

Mrs. Hudson is a standard British housewife, she is busy in the kitchen.Zhang Li was very curious about the daily diet of the British, and graciously helped Mrs. Hudson in the kitchen.

At 9:[-] in the morning, the doorbell rang.Mrs. Hudson's son Alger arrived with the whole family.

Mrs. Hudson enthusiastically introduced her two new tenants to the Alger family.

Alger is a standard British middle-class man in his 40s who owns a small trading company in Manchester.His wife, Gloria, has blond hair and is tall and sexy even though she is also in her 40s.His older son, Luke, is a tall, burly son who was on the high school football team.The youngest son Manny is only seven or eight years old, and the baby is fat.The chubby face is very cute.

What surprised Liu Yun was that the whole family was wearing the sky blue jerseys of the Coventry team.

Such is the British football tradition.There is only one parent team that the family supports together.The grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather supported which team a hundred years ago, decades ago, and the descendants will support that team a hundred years and decades later.Regardless of whether this team is relegated to the lower leagues, the British will still not change their original intentions for their home team.

When Mrs. Hudson told the Alger family that Liu Yun was a new substitute striker recruited by Coventry, Alger was surprised.

The chubby little Manny murmured coquettishly: "So you are that oriental liar!"

Alger reprimanded little Manny: "Manny, treat guests with kindness and don't talk nonsense."

Liu Yun was embarrassed.He didn't know that after Coventry fans heard that the team had recruited a 45-year-old Huaguo player, rumors abounded.The stubborn Coventry people believed that the team must have made some shady deal with a businessman from Huaguo, so they recruited a middle-aged player into the team.

A player who is still playing at the age of 45 is either a legendary player like the British glory Matthews, or a liar.There is only one Matthews in the world, so the conclusion is obvious that this Chinese player must be a liar.

Alger and Liu Yun sat down in the living room.Luke and Manny are playing checkers.

Zhang Li also went to Liu Yun's side to perform her duties as an interpreter.

Alger said: "Dear Liu, with all due respect, we Coventry fans don't seem to be friendly to your arrival. You know, you are 45 years old. Can you tell me the truth, you come to test Is there any ulterior insider trading in Wen Chui?"

Liu Yun shook his head: "I can tell you responsibly that there is no insider trading. I will do my best to help the team."

Alger nodded: "Well, Coventry people have two beliefs, one is Catholicism. The other is football. Jesus Christ blessed us to rebuild the city from the ruins of the war, and football gave Coventry people confidence in the future. hope. In Coventry, football is religion! He can unite the people of Coventry and let the people of Coventry gain passion in ordinary life."

Mrs. Hudson and Gloria quickly prepared a sumptuous lunch.The ladies bring the lunch to the table.

Tomato and cheese soup, chicken salad, bruschetta, beef pudding with vegetables. . . . .A table full of dishes full of British style.

Before the meal, Mrs. Hudson said to Liu Yun and Zhang Li: "Children, when you come to my home, you are my family. In our British custom, family members hold hands and pray before meals." .join us in our prayers, will you?"

Liu Yun and Zhang Li nodded happily.

Liu Yun, Zhang Li, Mrs. Hudson, and the Alger family held hands around the dining table.Mrs. Hudson prayed.

What surprised Liu Yun and Zhang Li was that Mrs. Hudson didn't pray for the gods' health, wealth and safety like Chinese people pray for Buddha.

Mrs. Hudson prayed in a low voice: "God, my Lord, save me is my enemy. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, bless the Coventry team whether they can beat Oxford United today. Amen!"

Liu Yun finally understood why Alger just said that football is considered a religion in Coventry!The prayer before the meal turned out to be to pray to the gods to bless their home team to win!
After praying, everyone began to eat.

Little Manny said without hesitation: "Liu, all the Coventry team brothers on my Facebook say you are a liar from China."

The British, like the Americans, use Facebook, a social software.All fans of a certain team, regardless of age, are called brothers.

Alger glared at little Manny: "Manny, Liu praying with us is our family. You must respect your own family."

The eldest son Luke is sixteen or seventeen years old and is quite sensible.However, he also raised the same question as his younger brother: "Liu, you... really know how to play football?"

Liu Yun smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, I have already promised your father that I will not let you down."

It was just one o'clock in the afternoon after eating.Four hours left to leave the ball.Mrs. Hudson and the others began to prepare to go out.

Before the start of the league, Coventry fans have to walk to the Ricoh Stadium for various activities.This is tradition.

Everyone is ready, just about to go out.But Alger said to Liu Yun: "Liu, you must wear Coventry's sky blue jersey when you go to the Ricoh Stadium."

Liu Yun saw it, isn't it.From Mrs. Hudson, who is nearly seventy years old, to Luke, who is seven or eight years old, all wear Coventry jerseys.He hurried back to his room and put on the jersey that Ada gave him.

Zhang Li has no jersey.

Mrs. Hudson enthusiastically said to Zhang Li: "My late husband has a sky blue jersey, which is in my bedroom. I'll bring it to you."

In British tradition, the jersey of the deceased husband's home team is generally passed on to the widow for preservation.

Alger said to Zhang Li with some jealousy: "Zhang, my mother really likes you. I asked her for my father's jersey many times, but she didn't give it to me."

Zhang Li put on her jersey.Liu Yun glanced at it. . . . . .Zhang Li's figure is comparable to those Huaguo football babies who followed the trend during the World Cup.

As soon as the group went out, Liu Yun was stunned by the scene on the street.The streets are almost full of people in sky blue jerseys.Almost the whole city has become a blue ocean.

It is said that Britain loves football to the point of madness. Today, Liu Yun finally saw this madness.

Fans walked to the Ricoh Stadium, more similar to a parade.Mrs. Hudson's family, like other fans, sang Coventry's team song "Go, Coventry": "When you experience life, it is a long, long way. After disaster, we will Keep going. Child in the sky blue, keep going! Coventry! Though you have been through disaster, though the road is long and your heart beats so hard, and though you are weary, we keep going. Oh, Coventry Glory, sky blue shirt! Coventry! Coventry!"

Mrs. Hudson, a 70-year-old British lady, sang the Coventry team anthem hoarsely. Her passion is no less than that of young people!
