Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 137 Captain Armband
The first round of the FA Cup is over.Coventry beat rival Portsmouth 3:2 to advance to the second round.Ten days after the FA Cup match day is the league day, so the club gave the players three days off.

Liu Yun fulfilled his promise. He invited all the Coventry team members, head coach George Sr., assistant coach Ada, and Alger's family to Mrs. Hudson's house for a Chinese meal.Originally, he still wanted to call Zhang Li, but Zhang Li said that the class was tight and he couldn't spare time so he had to give up.

Liu Yun cooks by himself.Mrs. Hudson gave him a hand.To say that Chinese food ingredients are not easy to find.Liu Yun specifically went to the Zaike restaurant in the center of Coventry to inquire.When the restaurant owner heard about it, he generously sold him a batch of ingredients at a low price.

This is a party within the team, and there is Alger's family, there are always thirty people waiting to feast.This is not a problem for Liu Yun. When he set up a breakfast stall, he always cooked meals for one hundred and ten people in the morning.

Liu Yun was sweating profusely in the kitchen.Mrs. Hudson was in charge of washing, chopping and chopping the vegetables.

Mrs. Hudson's living room was large. More than 30 people still filled the living room to the brim.How did Liu Yun know that the party he initiated today was the party Lu Binbin of Shanghai Dongxing mentioned to him.

Home party is the transliteration of English "HOME PARTY", which refers to such family gatherings.The people who come are close friends, and the food is family food.

It's ridiculous that those Chinese youths who think they're fashionable call gatherings with smoky drinking, smoking, dancing, boring music, drug abuse, and promiscuity "home parties."They think they are fashionable, but they are ignorant.

Mrs. Hudson's grandsons - Little Manny and Big Luke couldn't be happier!The two children have followed their parents to watch football at the Ricoh Stadium since they were born.These players are heroes in their eyes.

Pink-faced little Manny holds a soccer ball in his hand.He walked up to the bearded captain Alexander, and pulled his clothes after using it: "Alexander, can you sign me?"

Alexander pinched Little Manny's pink face: "Of course!"

He took the football from Manny Jr., with a look of surprise on his face: "This...is this the ball used for the home game of Doncaster? Could it be...the ball used for Liu's hat-trick?"

There is such a tradition in League Two that if a player can perform a hat-trick, the game ball that is still on the field when the final whistle blows will be given to the player who performed the hat-trick by the referee.

Some players may not be able to get such a hat-trick ball in their entire career.And Liu Yun gave a child the ball used for his first League Two hat-trick in his life?
Seeing Alexander's puzzled expression, Little Manny asked cautiously, "Alexander...don't you sign for me?"

Alexander patted Manny on the head. "Of course it will be signed".He said loudly: "Come on, come on, this is Liu's first hat-trick ball in Ying B! Everyone sign it together, and give it to our lovely boy after signing."

A crowd of players gathered around and signed their names one after another.Even old George, who has always been unsmiling, came over and signed his name.Then Alexander gave the ball to Manny Jr.

Little Manny looked happy holding the ball.The players like this cute little Zhengtai very much.This one teases him, that one kisses him.Big Luke took photos with the players one by one and posted them on Facebook.His Facebook friends are envious.

Alger played checkers with Ada.Alger is a master of checkers, and Ada is also a fan of checkers. The two of them fight back and forth, and the battle is hearty.

Liu Yun in the kitchen was sweating profusely.Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Fish, Steamed Pork with Rice Noodles, Fish Head with Chopped Peppers, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Dong Po Pork, Mao Xue Wang. . . . .Plates of the most authentic Chinese food came out of the pot.

More than 30 people had dinner, and the dining room of Mrs. Hudson's house couldn't fit.Alger and several Coventry team members started to use several tables to form a long table in the yard.Gloria set the table.

When the food was served, all the team members and Alger's family sat down at the long table.Mrs. Hudson took the hostess seat as hostess.

Coventry people are basically Catholic.Old George suggested that Mrs. Hudson, the hostess, lead the prayers.

Everyone held hands.

Hudson closed his eyes and prayed devoutly: "Thanks to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for giving Coventry people an invincible soul. Coventry people are the masters of their own souls, and Coventry people are the commanders of their own souls." .Amen."

"Amen...."

After praying, everyone began to eat.In fact, to be honest, the British diet is the simplest and worst in Europe.Liu Yun's more than a dozen authentic Chinese dishes made the players feast on them.You must know that these professional players are all tall and big, with an amazing appetite.The black boy Manla from South Africa is even more like a glutton.In a blink of an eye, I ate eight bowls of rice with a spoon.While eating, he praised: "Delicious, Chinese food is so delicious! It is simply the most delicious food in the world."

Seeing this, Liu Yun couldn't help thinking of Grandma Liu's lines in the hit TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" back then: "Old Liu, Lao Liu, eat as much as a cow, eat an old sow without looking up!"

At this time, Alexander tapped the cup with a spoon: "Everyone, I have something very important to say."

Alexander took out the captain's armband from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yun: "Liu, you are an excellent player. You have the ability to control the game. These three games, every game is under your leadership I hope you can wear my captain's armband and serve the team better."

Alexander turned to Old George and said, "Coach George, at the same time, I also want to ask for your permission."

Old George didn't speak, just nodded his head in acquiescence.

Liu Yun did not refuse.In Chinese traditional culture, modesty is a virtue.But there is another sentence, excessive modesty is hypocrisy.

Alexander kicked Liu Yun and put on the captain's armband.The players applauded enthusiastically. . . . . .

At the end of the party, Liu Yun received a call from Hua Guo, which was from Sein Fei.

"Hey, Lao Liu, you've performed well in the team recently!" Sein Fei said on the phone.

Liu Yun was a little surprised: "How do you know... I did well?"

Seinfeld said: "There is no live broadcast of League Two matches in China. I checked the match results on Football Lottery.com. It has the name of the scorer and the time of the goal. My God, the names of the scorers in the two league games in Coventry are all the same. There is a row of LIU, LIU, LIU. In the first round of the FA Cup, there are also two LIUs. Old Liu, why do you play the same game in the second division as you play in our Guangming District, and the same goals are so numb.”

Liu Yun smiled: "It's just luck. How is it going with you, Lao Song? How is the operation of Yujia Restaurant?"

Old Song said: "Thanks to you, it's not bad. According to this trend, I can pay off the debt in less than a year."

Liu Yundao: "Then I will congratulate you in advance for your comeback."
