Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 120 Liu, let's play

Liu Yun and Zhang Li returned to Coventry with the team.During these days, Liu Yun trained hard with the team during the day, and studied English with Zhang Li at night, living a fulfilling life.Although he didn't get a chance to play in the team, Liu Yun didn't feel sorry for himself.He thinks very openly, doing what he should do by himself.Opportunities are always reserved for down-to-earth people.

Coventry host Portsmouth at home on Sunday.

The grievances between Coventry and Portsmouth spanned more than half a century.The game between the two teams was even more sparks hit the earth.A common refrain among Coventry fans is: If the league title or beating Portsmouth is the only choice, then we'd rather be beating those arrogant Portsmouth bastards.

The team generally does not train in the morning of the game day, and only steps on the field before the game in the afternoon.In the morning, Mrs. Hudson's son Alger's family returned to Coventry.Because it is a battle of mortal enemies, according to the situation in previous years, there will definitely be large-scale conflicts between the fans of the two teams after the game.So Mrs. Hudson, Gloria, Little Manny and other old and weak women and children are not allowed to watch the game.This is a customary rule of Coventry people.

Mrs. Hudson cooked a good lunch in the kitchen.Before lunch, she led Alger's family, Liu Yun, and Zhang Li to pray: "God, my Lord, save me is my enemy. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, bless Coventry to beat Portsmouth today." Ci, amen!"

"Amen!".

After praying, everyone began to eat.

Alger said to Liu Yun while eating: "Liu, that new South African striker Manla is really great! But he was injured in the last game, and today he will play against the Portsmouth bastards, will he be able to play?"

Liu Yun replied: "Probably won't play. He sprained his ankle and hasn't trained with the team for a week."

The cute little Manny crossed his hands, holding his chubby face, and asked solemnly: "Liu, will you play tonight?"

Liu Yun smiled at Little Manny: "It depends on old George's arrangement. I'm not sure either."

In fact, Liu Yun does not have much hope for whether he can play and complete his debut in the second division.After all, the team is now focusing on 451 defensive tactics.Manla couldn't play, and the No. [-] substitute striker Andy started.Even if Andy was substituted halfway, the first choice for substitutions was the No. [-] substitute striker Arnold.

After eating, Liu Yunbian and Zhang Li went straight to Ricoh Stadium.

After the team was assembled, George Sr. announced the starting list and the substitute list.As expected, Andy replaced Manla as the starting striker this time.Arnold and Liu Yun were pushed on the bench.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, fans from Coventry and Portsmouth gathered in teams in front of the Ricoh Stadium.Coventry fans wore blue jerseys, while Portsmouth fans wore white jerseys.The two teams merged into two streams of people with distinct colors.

The Portsmouth fans made up an expeditionary force of as many as 1 people.Because it is a battle of deadly enemies, the tickets for the Ricoh Stadium are distributed in proportion.Of the 1 seats in the stadium, [-] belong to Coventry fans and [-] belong to Portsmouth.

It is different from the exchange of dirty words and songs before the match with Oxford United, throwing eggs and tomatoes at each other.The fans of Portsmouth and Coventry outside the stadium were in order.Outside the stadium looked calm.But behind the calm, there are often terrible storms hidden.

The police officers of the Coventry Police Station are most afraid of this damn silence!According to the experience of previous years, every time the battle between Coventry and Portsmouth's sworn enemies is bound to be followed by a fierce brawl.Today, more than 1000 police officers from the Coventry Police Station canceled their vacation and stood in front of the Ricoh Stadium.They have even seconded a police riot squad of more than 800 people from West Midlands Police.

For the city of Coventry, the game against bitter rivals Portsmouth is not just a game, it is more like a war!
Coventry fans who did not buy tickets gathered in various bars in Coventry to watch the game.

Mrs. Hudson, her daughter-in-law Gloria, and her grandson Manny Jr. sat by their TV watching the game.As Liu Yun's translator, Zhang Li was fortunate to sit on the bench with him.

At six o'clock in the evening, the game officially began.

Portsmouth are the league leaders, while Coventry are only tenth.The strength gap between the two teams is obvious.And Coventry lost the striker Manla in the last round, this game is not easy for Coventry.

At the beginning, the old George continued to form a 451 defensive formation.Portsmouth played the 442 they are good at.

Contrary to all expectations, Portsmouth have had a fantastic start.Only 3 minutes into the first half, Portsmouth launched an attack from the right.Coventry defender fouled, Portsmouth won a free kick on the right 30 meters from the goal.

The Portsmouth captain takes the free kick and he lobs it into the box.After some melee in the penalty area, the ball reached the Portsmouth striker. The striker shot hard and the goal went in! 1:0!In just 3 minutes of the opening, Portsmouth led Coventry by one goal!
The South Stand occupied by Portsmouth fans immediately boiled over!The Coventry fans responded with a "hush~" sound that lasted for more than a minute.

Portsmouth fans started chanting the swear song: "Poor Coventry jackass, they lose every week. Oh, their daddy washes the ass of an elephant, and their mum's a woman who's gone wrong. Oh, Coventry Stupid ass, they lose every week!"

Coventry fans responded with a swear song: "Portsmouth bastards come to Coventry! You're as shameless as Hitler! Clean your asses and we're going in soon. Oh, Portsmouth bastards come to Coventry Yes! The Portsmouth bastard is coming to Coventry!"

The morale of the Portsmouth team was boosted after scoring the goal, and their strength was higher than that of Coventry. In the next 10 minutes, their possession rate reached a terrifying 60.00%!Coventry can only be tired of defense.

Although old George belonged to the kind of person who would not change his face when the mountain collapsed in front of him, he was no longer calm now.You can afford to lose in other games, but you can't afford to lose in the battle of deadly enemies!He walked to the sidelines to signal the position of the captain and midfielder Alexander to move forward.

I have to say that although Alexander has a bad temper, he has good awareness on the court.After all, he was born in the Liverpool youth team and has played in the professional league for more than ten years, so he has rich experience on the field.Under Alexander's organization, Coventry had several decent offenses.

However, Andy, the main striker, was too well-behaved.Don't dare to shoot from a long distance if you have a long shot opportunity, and don't dare to pass a through pass to your teammates if you have a through pass opportunity.And he didn't seem to bring his shooting boots to the stadium this game, and the two close-range shots in the penalty area also hit the plane.

The clock ticked by and we entered the first-half stoppage time, when Portsmouth won the corner.The corner kick was taken high, and the big striker of the Portsmouth team competed for the top!Shake your head and attack the goal!The goal was scored, 2:0, Portsmouth got a two-goal lead!
In the stadium, the Portsmouth fans in the South Stand were boiling again.The Coventry fans fell into a deathly silence!

1 minute left in stoppage time.The midfielder re-served, and the Coventry players immediately launched an attack!These players know the weight of this game and what this game means to Coventry people!
The ball was passed three times and fell twice in the front court, and it was passed to Andy's feet.Andy earns his chance to face the keeper after dribbling past a Portsmouth defender!
The Coventry fans in the audience saw hope again!However, Andy made a hasty kick, and the ball hit the plane and flew high into the stands.At the same time, the referee's halftime whistle sounded, and the first half ended.

Old George shook his head in disappointment.Andy, as the team's lone striker, was completely out of shape this time.He walked to the bench and said to Arnold, the second domestic substitute forward: "Arnold, get ready to warm up. You will play in the second half!"

During the intermission, the persistent Coventry fans sang the Coventry team anthem to cheer for the team.

The second half begins.Coventry replaced striker Andy with Arnold.Although Arnold is a glass man and loves to get hurt, after all, he has won the top scorer of the League One and still has a certain strength.The old George replaced him, hoping that he can bring improvement to the team's offense.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the second half of this crucial battle of deadly enemies opened, Arnold showed his true qualities as a glass man!

Coventry win the corner.Arnold, the single striker, ran to the penalty area to prepare for the top.During a period of chaos, Arnold jumped up to compete for the top. He missed the ball but stepped on the opponent's player and fell to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time!
The Coventry team doctor came on the field. After checking Arnold's injury, the team doctor gestured towards the head coach George Sr.

Beads of sweat immediately appeared on Old George's forehead!This gesture means that Arnold can no longer persist in the game!Now that Coventry is 0:2 behind, Arnold has to be replaced again to use the second substitution quota!The most important thing is that Liu Yun is the only striker left in the team who can play! Can a 45-year-old striker play a full half of the court?Liu Yun had only played in China's fourth tier league before, and he lacked experience on the court. . . . . .

Although Old George is unwilling to replace Liu Yun at this time, he has no other choice!You can't leave a striker on the field, can you?The spitting of the Coventry fans alone is enough to drown him!

Old George walked up to Liu Yun and said to Liu Yun, "Liu, come on and replace Arnold. Good luck!"

Liu Yun walked to the sidelines, ready to enter!Coventry fans randomly greeted Liu Yun's entry with a burst of "boos".In the eyes of the fans, the team's striker had to send Liu Yun as a last resort, which is the bitter fruit planted by the club during the signing period!How can a 45-year-old player have the strength to help the team in the battle of deadly enemies?
One kilometer away from the Ricoh Stadium, Mrs. Hudson, Gloria, and Manny Jr. watched the game nervously in front of the TV.When she saw Liu Yun playing, Mrs. Hudson crossed her chest devoutly with her fingers: "Holy Father, Son, Holy Spirit, please bless my son Liu to perform well at the Ricoh Stadium tonight! Please bless the Coventry team Fight back and beat Portsmouth in denial!"

At the Ricoh Stadium, Liu Yun took a step forward on the sideline and stepped into the stadium!
From a physiological point of view, this is only a small step for Liu Yun.For Liu Yun's life, this is a big step!
