Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 125
After a home win over rivals Portsmouth of the century, Coventry will play an away game against Doncaster, who are ranked second in the league.

Coventry striker Manla has recovered from a sprain.Liu Yun had another amazing performance in the last game.According to Coventry's 451 tactics, only one of the two can start the game.

Let Liu Yun be Manla's super substitute?Old George was in a tangle that lasted for several days.He didn't know that Huaguo has a saying that you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw.

On this day, the team's assistant coach and scout Ada came to the old George's office.

In the middle of the office is a tactical board.

Seeing Ada coming, old George motioned for him to sit down.The old George stared at the tactical board and said to Ada: "At this time last year, our league ranking was third, right?"

Edda replied: "Yes. Last year, from the 20th round to the 28th round, we have been in the top three in the league."

Old George pointed to the tactical board: "I have been thinking. In the first half of the league, our main lineup was almost the same as last year. Why this year's results have been hovering around ten? I began to suspect that before the start of this year's league Whether the 451 tactics set for the team is suitable for the team."

Ada suddenly discovered that the formation on the tactical board was 4411.

Edda is a professional scout and assistant coach.He immediately understood Old George's intentions: "You mean to change to 4411 tactics? If I'm not wrong, you want Liu to start as a shadow striker, right?"

Old George poured Ada a glass of whiskey and poured one himself: "That's right. Liu is a very peculiar player. He has abilities that are not commensurate with his age. However, his speed is mediocre. As for Manla, although his foot skills can't keep up Liu, however, is also the best among his peers. Not to mention his speed...It would be a great waste to push either of them on the bench! A striker partner. One is a single striker and the other is a shadow striker. Liu Yun has excellent dribbling ability, precise passing, and wide vision. As a shadow striker, he will definitely be able to make the most of it."

Ada nodded: "This is really a bold idea."

Old George took a sip of whiskey: "Bold and reasonable, isn't it?"

Old George and Ada walked out of the office and came to the training ground.The players have assembled at the training ground.George Sr. announced the cancellation of the morning training program.

All the players looked at each other.George Sr. is a strict coach. He never cancels the training plan even if it rains or snows heavily.What happened to old George today?Announce the cancellation of the training immediately?
Old George said to the players: "We only do one thing this morning, and I will tell you to arrange a new starting lineup."

More than 20 players sat on the green turf, forming a big circle.George Sr. brought 11 conical training barrels and set up a 4411 formation on the grass.

Old George said to his disciples: "In the second half of the season, we will switch to a 4411 tactic. The starting striker Manla, the starting shadow forward Liu Yun..."

The bearded captain Alexander patted Liu Yun on the shoulder and whispered, "Congratulations, brother!"

Although 4411 also belongs to the category of defensive counterattack, it is quite different from 451 tactics.Old George patiently explained the tactics to his disciples all morning.

When Liu Yun heard that Old George said that he would become the team's starting shadow forward, he was very excited.A substitute who doesn't want to start is not a good player.What's more, when Liu Yun joined the team, he was the third substitute striker?How can he not be excited now that he has won the chance to start?
Old George explained the tactics all morning.At noon, Liu Yun and Zhang Li returned to Mrs. Hudson's house.

Zhang Li will go to Birmingham to officially start her course in two weeks.Liu Yun has seized all the time to learn English from her these days.You can't always be deaf and dumb.However, given the language environment, his foreign language proficiency has improved by leaps and bounds.Now he can already chat with his teammates in simple English.

Mrs. Hudson is old and widowed, and her son's family is far away in Manchester.She regarded Liu Yun and Zhang Li as her own children.Every day, she was very busy in the kitchen, cooking a series of British-style delicacies for the two of them.

When Liu Yun and Zhang Li returned home, Mrs. Hudson was busy in the kitchen.Liu Yun saw a thick pile of dozens of letters on the table.

Seeing that Liu Yun had returned, Mrs. Hudson walked out of the kitchen and pointed to the letters: "Liu, these are letters sent to you by Coventry fans."

Liu Yun picked up a few letters and glanced at them, all of which read: "Received by Senior Lieutenant Liu of Coventry."

Liu Yun wondered: "How do these fans know my address?"

Mrs. Hudson picked up a newspaper and handed it to Liu Yun: "The gossip tabloids have great powers. My child, your address, birthday, address, and even your blood type have all been published by the tabloids."

Liu Yun took the newspaper and read it.This is a newspaper called "Coventry Football-Related News".In Britain, the tabloids are all over the place.In this issue of the newspaper, various personal information of Liu Yun was published.

Liu Yun thought to himself, the people in these newspaper offices are similar to the paparazzi in Huaguo.

However, the letters on the table were all sent by enthusiastic fans. He carefully opened the letters and read them one by one.

One of the letters, which caught his attention, was from a child at an orphanage in Coventry.The child hoped that Liu Yun could go to the orphanage to teach himself and his friends how to play football.

Liu Yun put the letter into his pocket.

Mrs. Hudson said lunch was served. "How was the training in the morning?" She asked Liu Yun with concern.

Liu Yun replied: "There was no training in the morning, and the coach rearranged the tactical formation. I may start as a shadow forward in the future."

Mrs. Hudson showed a smile on her face: "Great. With the excellent performance against the Portsmouth bastard last game, if the old George doesn't arrange you to start, the Coventry people will eat him alive."

Mrs. Hudson is a veteran football fan who has watched football for more than half a century.The tactics on the football field are even more familiar: "By the way, boy, you will play as the starting shadow striker. Will old George mainly play 4411 tactics?"

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes. The head coach seems very confident in the 4411 tactics."

Zhang Li smiled: "Old George is not confident in the 4411 tactics, but in you, Old Liu."

Mrs. Hudson served Liu Yun and Zhang Li a bowl of pea soup, and then said: "The next team will play away against Doncaster, which is second in the league. Given the state of Coventry this season, if we can play away A point is a win. Good luck, my boy."
