Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 133 We will come back, because we have the old lieutenant

Weekend, FA Cup match day.

The neutral ground for the single knockout match between Coventry and Portsmouth is the Britannia Stadium, home of Stoke City in the Premier League.

Stoke City is a city located between Manchester and Birmingham.Stoke is known as the porcelain capital of England.Anywhere in the UK that turns a coffee cup upside down after drinking coffee is guaranteed to be made by Stoke-based ceramics.

Stoke only has a population of 20.The Britannia Stadium can accommodate 4 spectators.All matches in the knockout stage of the FA Cup will be played in neutral stadiums, and the tickets will be allocated strictly according to the ratio of 4:2:[-] between fans of participating teams and fans of neutral cities.

As soon as the match day arrived, tens of thousands of Coventry fans and tens of thousands of Portsmouth fans poured into the stadium.The entire Britannia stadium is brightly colored.On one side were Coventry fans in blue and on the other were Portsmouth fans in white.

Before the start of the game, fans of both sides did not exchange foul language songs or throw "greetings" at each other.The British football tradition is like this. During the battle of deadly enemies, the fans uphold the spirit of "can do it and never talk about it".They will not provoke each other before the game, but will play a few dirty words songs to each other during the game.After the game, a large-scale fan brawl is bound to break out.

The Stoke Police Department was facing an enemy, and thousands of police officers canceled their vacations. Most of them were sent to be on duty near the Britannia Stadium that day.The anti-riot team in the police station is even more armed to the teeth.Anti-riot shields, tear gas, non-lethal shotguns, all professional anti-riot equipment were distributed to the anti-riot police.

Inside the Portsmouth dressing room.

Portsmouth head coach Fakemi is in his 40s and is a native of Portsmouth.For Coventry, he has an almost natural hatred.

Portsmouth, which topped the league table in the last game, was defeated by Coventry with three consecutive goals in a good situation with an away lead of 2 goals. Fakemi was questioned by the fans and also under tremendous pressure from the team management .He met Coventry again in the first round of the FA Cup, and all he could think about was revenge.

For Portsmouth, this is a game they can't afford to lose.It would be a disaster if it lost twice to arch-rivals Coventry in one month.Coventry's league ranking is only in the middle and upper reaches. The first place in the list was lost to the mid-range rivals. It is impossible to explain to the team's management and fans.

Fakmi cleared his throat and said loudly: "Boys, I don't need to talk about the significance of this game! Those Coventry jackasses can upset us once, but they can't beat us twice! In this game, I set up a formation of 541 and put two man-marking defenders on the defensive line. One is to mark the opponent's shadow forward Liu, and the other is to mark their striker Manla! Coventry is just a strong team Average team, nothing to fear! Victory belongs to Portsmouth!"

A group of Portsmouth players shouted in unison: "Victory belongs to Portsmouth!"

Coventry's dressing room.

Old George is still wearing a suit and leather shoes, an old-fashioned British gentleman's attire.He drew a formation of 4411 on the tactical board, and then said: "This game is still 4411. Everyone try to send the ball to Liu, the frontcourt organizer. I don't need to say the meaning of this game. Let's go, boy Come on, boys, and teach those Portsmouth bastards a lesson!"

Players from Coventry and Portsmouth came onto the pitch through the tunnel.

The commentators for this game are still Fat Bob and Big Mouth Dunphy from SKY TV.

The stands of the entire Britannia Stadium have distinct colors.On one side were Coventry fans in sky blue jerseys.On the other side were Portsmouth fans in white jerseys.The third party was eight thousand local fans of Stoke City.

For fans of the Premier League team Stoke City, an FA Cup first-round match between English League Two teams will not whet their appetite.They came to the scene for only one purpose, and that was to see Liu Yun!They want to see with their own eyes what Liu Yun, the 45-year-old Huaguo player who was caught in the center of public opinion a while ago, is capable of.

After the captains of the two sides had finished choosing sides, the referee blew the opening whistle and kicked off at midfield.

Portsmouth coach Fakmi's formation is very conservative. 5 defenders, two of whom are dedicated to marking Liu Yun and Manla.

After the opening, the dominant offensive side turned out to be Coventry, which is at a disadvantage in the league rankings.

The Coventry midfielder diverts the ball wide.Alexander broke through and assisted from the wing, and made a pass from the outside to the front of Portsmouth's penalty area.The ball went directly to striker Manla.

After receiving the ball, Manla seemed to want to try the feel of his feet, so he took a long shot directly.It's a pity that the ball went straight into the sky.

Portsmouth is, after all, the top team in League Two.After stabilizing the ground, start to counterattack.

In the 6th minute, the Portsmouth forward dribbled the ball into the penalty area.There was a chaotic fight in the penalty area, and a Portsmouth player shot angrily, and the ball went straight to the right post.

"duang~" Portsmouth was unlucky, the ball hit the post and popped out of the penalty area.The Coventry players at the front of the penalty area immediately made a clearance.

Football games have always been seven points of strength and three points of luck.After the opening, Portsmouth's luck is indeed not flattering.

In the 13th minute, the Coventry defender fouled in his own half and Portsmouth won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Captain Park took a free kick and dropped the ball into the penalty area.Park's striker shakes his head and attacks the goal.This head shake is in an excellent position, and the angle is also very good.However, Coventry's young goalkeeper Juan performed well. He made a diving save and knocked the ball into the air with a single punch!
Portsmouth coach Fakemi jumped up from the coach's bench in annoyance and shook his fist!
In the first 20 minutes of the game, the two sides had offense and defense against each other.Liu Yun had a few chances to get the ball, but the opponent's defender was too tight to mark, so he didn't get a chance to break through or make a good pass.

Liu Yun is just a person, not a god.George Sr. didn't expect him to be able to organize a threatening offense every time he got the ball.

The deadlock of the game was broken in the No.201 minute!
The Portsmouth player took the ball from the side, broke through the Coventry defenders and brought the ball directly to the bottom line.Then the Park team player passed through the crotch and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.He picks a pass in the middle, and the Portsmouth striker comes up with a flying kick!Just like a martial arts master in a Chinese martial arts novel kicking the ball into the goal!

1:0!Portsmouth took the lead in the No.201 minute of the first half!
Fakmi stood up from the coach's bench and raised his hands: "Beautiful, my boys!"

The Portsmouth Whites fans in the stands also began to celebrate wildly.They chanted the name of the goal scorer, and then, the foul song began: "Oh, Coventry jackasses. When are you going to score a point? Oh, Coventry jackasses, when are you going to score a point?" Ball? Oh, lovely Coventry jackass~"

Coventry fans made up several swear words for the game.One of them was sung specifically for the Portsmouth bastards when they took the lead: "Portsmouth bastards, wait a minute. We'll come back, because we've got the old lieutenant. Hey Portsmouth bastards, remember 2: The game at 3? Remember the game at 2:3?"
