Chapter 122 The Hero of Ricoh Stadium
The bearded Alexander received Liu Yun's precise long pass and headed the goal.The ball hit the bottom left corner of the gate.

Portsmouth's goalkeeper flanks.It's a pity that Alexander was too close to the goal, and the header was so good that he couldn't save it!
The goal was scored, 2:2!Coventry miraculously equalized the score!

Alexander did not celebrate the goal, but ran to Liu Yun, grabbed his arm, and pulled him to the front of the South Stand.The South Stand is home to Portsmouth fans.

Alexander said to Liu Yun: "Liu, my brother, follow me."

During these days, Liu Yun studied English with Zhang Li every night, and he understood what Alexander said.What made him more happy than the successful assist was that Alexander actually called him "brother".This shows that Alexander, as the captain, has accepted himself!

Alexander bent down, waved his right hand, and put his hand on his left shoulder.He made a standard British bow towards the fans of arch-enemy Portsmouth!Liu Yun imitated the example and made a bow!
This is the biggest challenge to the fans of the rival Portsmouth!

Coventry fans are excited!Damn Portsmouth bastards, now you know how good Coventry is?

The Coventry fans began to sing the foul language: "Portsmouth bastards, we bow to you. Because you lose every week, we bow to you, Portsmouth bastards who lose every week !"

Liu Yun only played for more than ten minutes, and he scored a goal and an assist.At this time, he has won the recognition and respect of the people of Coventry!

Outside the Ricoh Stadium, whether it was the fans in the various bars in Coventry City, or those Coventry fans of the old, the weak, women and children who could not watch the battle of the deadly enemy, they all fell into madness at this time!

Mrs. Nelson even hugged her grandson and kissed his little face frantically.Gloria, the British lady, raised her middle finger towards the TV: "Try the bow of Coventry, Portsmouth bastard!"

Portsmouth led 2-0 in the first half, and were chased by Coventry for two consecutive goals in the opening ten minutes of the second half.The head coach of Portsmouth can't sit still. You know, this game is not just a battle of deadly enemies for Portsmouth, but also related to whether they can keep the top of the league table!He decisively made substitution adjustments.And his substitution adjustments are generous, replacing two players at a time!
It has to be said that Portsmouth has been able to lead the standings for a long time this season, and its strength should not be underestimated.Soon they came out of the shadow of conceding two goals in a row, and attacked Coventry's half court with all their strength.

Portsmouth's goal is very clear, which is to take three points at the Ricoh Stadium, humiliate the arch-rival Coventry, and at the same time consolidate their top position!
Coventry also boosted morale after chasing two goals in a row.The two sides were facing each other and fell into a tug-of-war.Liu Yun completed a goal and an assist within ten minutes, which aroused the vigilance of the Portsmouth team.Team Park immediately had a defender close to defend Liu Yun.Even without the ball, Liu Yun will follow wherever he goes.As soon as Liu Yun took the ball, there were more than two defenders sticking to him.Under such "favorable treatment", Liu Yun did not have many good opportunities to perform.

The two sides are back and forth in the tug-of-war, and the players' movements are getting bigger and bigger.In the 70th minute, captain Alexander fouled maliciously and was warned by the referee with a yellow card.In the 75th minute, Portsmouth's central defender tackled a Coventry player and was also given a yellow card.

The battle in the stands between Portsmouth fans and Coventry fans also intensified.

"Portsmouth! Bastard! Portsmouth! Bastard!"

"Coventry! Stupid ass! Coventry! Stupid ass!"

Time passed minute by minute in the tug-of-war between the two teams.In a blink of an eye, it was the No.807 minute of the game.

Alexander stepped in from the front midfielder to instigate the attack.His vision was wide and he saw Liu Yun at the front of the penalty area.

He kicked the ball and passed the ball straight to Liu Yun.The moment Liu Yun caught the ball with his back, he was pushed by the Portsmouth defender behind him.Liu Yun staggered, lost his balance, almost fell, and the ball fell to the feet of Team Park's defender.This small push by the defender of the Park team is very subtle.The referee didn't see it at all.

However, this little move escaped the attention of the chief referee, but not the line referee!And all referees in League Two are equipped with headsets.

The linesman reminded the referee through the headset that the Portsmouth defender pushed for a foul.

The referee blew his whistle without hesitation!Free kick!Free kick at the front of the penalty area!

This free kick is about 25 meters away from the goal, on the right side of the penalty area arc, and the position is excellent!
The bearded Alexander, as the captain of the team, has good footwork.He has always been Coventry's first free throw shooter.He squared the ball and the Portsmouth players lined up the wall.

At this time, Liu Yun walked up to Alexander and asked in rough English, "Can I take the penalty?"

Alexander was taken aback!
If Liu Yun had made such a request 40 minutes ago, he would have pushed Liu Yun away without hesitation.And scolded Liu Yun in the locker room after the game.

But now, Liu Yun's performance not only conquered the fans, his teammates, the head coach Old George, but also the bearded Alexander, the field captain!
Alexander patted Liu Yun on the shoulder and signaled him to take the penalty! A free kick at the front of the penalty area of ​​25 meters, a direct shot is a deadly threat!
Liu Yun took two steps back, ran up, and shot!

At the moment of shooting, Liu Yun tried his best to twist his whole body, and used the inner instep to touch the ball sideways at a position almost at zero angle to the ball to exert force.This kick gives the ball maximum spin.The ball flies forward under high-speed rotation, and will have the largest arc of flight trajectory!

The player who has mastered this kind of free kick is none other than former England captain David Beckham.This kind of arc free kick has a well-known name in international football - Bayesian arc!
The moment Liu Yun took a shot, the audience fell into dead silence!Now that the game has gone on for 87 minutes, the high-intensity confrontation in the battle of deadly enemies has brought the physical fitness of both sides to the lowest point.The score is still 2:2.This may be the last great opportunity for Coventry to overtake the score!

The ball flew high, suddenly drew a wonderful arc, bypassed the wall, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

The angle of this free kick shot is too tricky!The Portsmouth goalkeeper has leaped high, and the tip of his middle finger has even touched the ball.

However, the ball still got into the net like a bullet! 3:2!The Coventry team miraculously chased three goals in a row and overtook the score in the unfavorable situation of 0:2!Liu Yun turned this battle of deadly enemies into a humiliation to the Portsmouth people almost by himself!

The moment the ball was scored, the Ricoh Stadium was silent for 1 second.Liu Yun's textbook arc free kick stunned everyone in the stadium.Then the entire Ricoh Stadium fell into unprecedented boiling!The Coventry fans cheered.

Even old George, who has always been calm, sat up from the coach's bench, raised his arms and shouted!
Zhang Li, who was sitting on the bench as an interpreter, also stood up and shouted loudly to the field: "Old Liu, good job!"

When all the players in Coventry were filled with joy for overtaking the score, Alexander ordered Liu Yun with a serious face: "Liu, as the captain of the field, I order you to lift your right foot."

Liu Yun understood Alexander's incredible order.Alexander is the captain, and he must obey his orders.He raised his right foot in bewilderment.

The bearded Alexander actually knelt down towards Liu Yun in front of tens of thousands of fans, spread his hands out, and made a gesture of shining Liu Yun's shoes!
This goal celebration action ignited the passion of [-] Coventry fans!They started to dye the fireworks sticks in the stands, and I don't know who sang first: "There is only one Liu in the world." Then hundreds, thousands, and [-] fans sang in unison: "There is only one Liu in the world!"

With two goals and one assist in the battle of deadly enemies, Liu Yun has become the hero of Ricoh Stadium at this time!
