Chapter 119
As soon as the three of them went out, Mrs. Hudson said to Liu Yun, "Liu, my child, extend your arm." Liu Yun did so, and Mrs. Hudson took Liu Yun's left arm.

Mrs. Hudson said to Zhang Li again: "Zhang, you are holding Liu's right arm. This is the respect a man should treat a woman."

Zhang Li took Liu Yun's right arm.The two ladies walked towards Hua Restaurant with Liu Yun on their shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right.The Chinese restaurant is located in the center of Coventry.There are four big Chinese characters written on the signboard: "Zai Ke Restaurant".

Seeing the writing of the motherland in a foreign country, Liu Yun felt very cordial.Although Coventry only has a population of 30, it is the center of the automobile manufacturing industry in the UK.Therefore, there are many Chinese merchants in the city.At the entrance of Yuelai Restaurant, Liu Yun saw many yellow-skinned compatriots.

The three walked into the restaurant.The restaurant is elegant in style and has a small stage on which a jazz band is playing popular music from the 60s and [-]s of the last century.

The waiter walked up to the table for three.He is an out-and-out Chinese native, and he speaks an out-and-out mandarin with Yanjing accent.

"Excuse me, what would you like to eat?".

Zhang Li picked up the menu.The waiter's eyes were fixed on Liu Yun!

Liu Yun was a little surprised: "Is there something dirty on my face?"

The waiter said, "No, no. Excuse me, are you Uncle Rainbow from Splash V Blog? Liu Yun?"

Zhang Li didn't expect Liu Yun to have such a high reputation now.She smiled and said, "Old Liu, you are really a household name now. You can meet fans in foreign countries."

The waiter stretched out his hand: "Hello, Uncle Liu Yun. I am a Huaguo student at the University of Birmingham. I attend classes in Birmingham during the day and work here at night. You are my idol! I have heard that you rented When I arrived at the Coventry team, I wondered if I could see your real face by chance. It is such an honor to meet you!"

Liu Yun was a little flattered.He shook hands with the waiter.How did he know that he is now an inspirational idol for thousands of young people in China.

The waiter said to Liu Yun: "Uncle Liu Yun, please wait here for a while. I'll go find my boss."

Not long after, a chunky middle-aged Chinese man and a waiter came forward: "Hello, Mr. Liu Yun. I am the owner of this restaurant. It is really an honor for you to come to my restaurant. This meal is free, it’s my request.”

After finishing speaking, the chunky boss walked onto the small stage and interrupted the jazz band's performance. He picked up the microphone and said in Chinese: "Compatriots from China who came to eat today, the players of the Coventry team—our compatriot Liu Yun is here. It is a great honor for Zaike Restaurant and Zaike Restaurant. It is really not easy for a Chinese player in his 40s to come to England to play football. Let us applaud him and wish him a bright future in the Coventry team."

After the chunky boss finished speaking, all Chinese compatriots in the restaurant stood up and applauded.The other Britons who came to dine didn't know what was going on.

Liu Yun couldn't enjoy this meal. Countless compatriots came forward, some took photos with him, and some asked him for his autograph.Others wished him all the best in Coventry.

In a foreign country, Liu Yun felt the warmth from the motherland.

After dinner, Liu Yun, Zhang Li and Mrs. Hudson walked out of the restaurant.The moon is very round tonight.He looked up at a bright moon, and his mood immediately improved. With the blessings of so many compatriots just now, Liu Yun swept away the haze of the failure of the team's first show in the afternoon.

In the following days, Liu Yun trained seriously and hard in the team.On Saturday, the team made an expedition to Crewe to challenge the third-ranked Crewe team in the league.Liu Yun entered the squad and came to Crewe with the team.

The Crewe team has performed very well this season, and their ranking has been in the championship group.And it is very hopeful to hit the League One.They are playing at home in this round of the league, and it can be said that they are determined to win.

The game kicks off on Sunday at 6:[-] sharp.

Crewe's home stadium, Star Stadium, has [-] seats, and the stands are full.Fans were all wearing Crewe's green striped jerseys, and the Star Stadium seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​green.

As Liu Yun expected, the head coach George Sr. put him on the bench.As his translator, Zhang Li also sat on the bench.The South African guy Manla started as the team's single striker.

As soon as the two sides opened, the Crewe team started a tidal attack.Coventry played a 451 defensive counterattack, but the Crewe team sent a 433 offensive formation. They are determined to win this game.

However, the Crewe team's luck didn't seem to be very good, and they won't score any points.The game lasted for 10 minutes, and Crewe's 4 and 5 threatening shots were either confiscated by the Coventry goalkeeper, or directly hit the post and flew out of the baseline.

The referee's law enforcement standards in this game are very strict. No.30 In the second minute, the Crewe striker fouled in the frontcourt and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

After the yellow card warning, the two sides fell into a tug of war in the midfield.At the end of halftime, the two sides scored a goalless draw 0:0.

As soon as the second half started, luck returned to Crewe's side.The Crewe team instigated an attack from the left, crossed the ball to the center and created a chance with a short pass penetration. 45:1.

Liu Yun glanced at old George.Old George, this guy is not showing any emotion.He and former Dongxing team coach Zhao Qiyou are two different people.The team lost the ball, and the old George didn't even get up, still observing the situation on the field calmly on the coach's bench.

In the next game, the Crewe team seemed eager to expand the score to seal the victory.

In the 70th minute, the Crewe team pressed heavily, and there was a gap in the backcourt.The bearded Alexander, the captain of Coventry, steals the ball and makes a long pass behind the Crewe.He calmly shot, the ball scored, 1:1 tie.The black guy Manla equalized the score for Coventry.

After the goal, Manla and his teammates celebrated wildly.Old George was still as steady as Mount Tai, and he just clapped his hands twice to express his encouragement.

Now the Coventry team is in the middle of the league. If this score can be maintained until the end, scoring a point at the home court of the championship favorite Crewe is already satisfactory.

Old George adjusted his tactics in time, replaced a defender and replaced a midfielder to strengthen the defense.

The Crewe team is eager for success, and the quality of offense is getting lower and lower.Coventry is tired of defense and has almost no decent offense.The two sides reached a stalemate.

Seeing that 89 minutes into the game, the game is about to end.Coventry have earned a chance.

Captain Alexander instigated the attack, and the ball went straight to striker Manla.After Manla took the ball, he used his speed to eat his opponent raw. The Crewe goalkeeper had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack!
The Crewe goalkeeper slid and he shoveled the ball away.His shovel carried huge kinetic energy, the ball was shoveled away by him, and the Crewe defender made a big clearance, but he couldn't hold back his foot and directly hit Coventry striker Manla.

Manla fell to the ground in pain on the turf.

Coventry's team doctor hurried into the arena with a stretcher. After some examination, the team doctor shook his head towards the coach's bench.

Manla was injured, George Sr. simply replaced Manla with a defender.This is to strengthen the defense and hold the point that is about to be obtained. On the other hand, it is also delaying time.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. 1:1, Coventry scored a difficult point at the home court of the favorites Crewe.

This result was supposed to be pretty good.But the injury of the main striker Manla still made the old George frown.

You know, the next round of Coventry will face rival Portsmouth at home.This battle of deadly enemies is not only related to points, but also the grievances between the two teams for more than half a century.The loss of a general before the battle of the deadly enemy made old George very troubled.
