Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 239 Song Shixiong's Dream
It's finally match day for the FA Cup final.

The venue for the FA Cup final has always been Wembley Stadium.

Underdog Coventry VS giants Chelsea!

Although the FA Cup is a hotbed for underdog upsets, in the century-old history of the FA Cup, only one second-tier league team won the championship.None of the professional league teams in the third level and below has ever been involved in the FA Cup!

Although Coventry has been promoted to League One next season, it is still a fourth-tier league team this season.

In other words, if the Coventry team beats Chelsea, it will be able to create a myth that has never been seen before or since - the fourth-tier league team wins the FA Cup!

Wembley Stadium, the venue for the final, was originally built in [-] and rebuilt in [-]. It is recognized as one of the greatest stadiums in the world.It is the home ground of the England national team. The World Cup in [-] and the European Championship in [-] witnessed the glorious moments of England and Germany winning the championship respectively.

The [-]-seat Wembley Stadium was already full at this time.Coventry is a small British city with only [-] people.At this time, there were [-] Coventry fans in the stands wearing sky blue jerseys.In other words, one out of every [-] Coventry people came to the scene to cheer for the team.

Another [-] seats were filled with Chelsea fans.Chelsea are firmly at the top of the Premier League this season.Winning the championship this season has almost become a certainty.Relatively speaking, the FA Cup is not that important to Chelsea.

But in the final, they met the League Two team Coventry, making this game a game that Chelsea couldn't afford to lose.If it really loses to a fourth-tier league team, it will create the biggest shameful battle in Chelsea's history!

Because of this, this game can attract [-] Chelsea fans to watch the game.

The remaining [-] seats were filled with faces from Huaguo.Some of them are overseas Chinese in the UK, and the other part are fans from China who came to Wembley Stadium to watch the game.

It has to be said that Huaguo's scalpers are really powerful.Even the tickets for the FA Cup final have become a tool for them to make profits.They got more than 1 tickets through various channels.In domestic fan forums, an ordinary ticket for the FA Cup final was fired up to 2 yuan!You know, the normal price of FA Cup tickets is only 200 pounds, equivalent to about 1700 yuan.The price has been raised ten times in China.

Several boxes in the Wembley Stadium are filled with super rich Chinese who love to watch football.

Ma Huyun, the boss of Alibeep, Xu Jiaren, the boss of Guangdong Donghou Group, Li Yanxu, the boss of Goudu Search, and Zhang Chaori, the boss of Ruanhu Group. . . . .Huaguo's wealth leaders gathered at Wembley Stadium.They are looking forward to the performance of Huaguo inspirational idol Liu Yun!Looking forward to a miracle in Coventry!
It is a miracle in itself that these people start from nothing and create huge wealth.So they believe in miracles!
Countless Chinese media even used their connections to send their own reporters to Wembley Stadium.

The FA seem to be very good at making money from the media.For the rights to broadcast the FA Cup final, they directly held a public auction in Yanjing.Falang Sports Live bought the exclusive rights to broadcast the FA Cup final in Huaguo at a price of 4000 million pounds.You know, the price of Huaguo's exclusive broadcast rights for all World Cup games is only 1.5 million US dollars.

The FA Cup match day has almost become a holiday for Chinese fans and fake fans.They are expecting the two Hua people - Qu Bai, the son of the wind, and Liu Yun, the old lieutenant, to score goals.They look forward to these two people telling the world that Chinese people also play good football!
For the live commentary of Falang Sports, in addition to Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong, Song Shixiong, who has retired for many years and is nearly [-] years old, is the number one sports commentator in the history of Huaguo!

Few of the older people in Huaguo know Song Shixiong.Yang Lan once commented that Song Shixiong is "the voice of a country's sports".After Song Shixiong retired, he rarely appeared in the media.I don't know how many media have spent a lot of money to invite Song Shixiong, who is in his rare years, to explain some important sports games, but Song Shixiong has refused one by one.

Song Shixiong is over 80 years old, full of honors, and has long been bearish on money.

However, this time, after watching several Coventry FA Cup matches through the Internet, he offered to Falang Sports that he would be the live commentator for the FA Cup final!
Song Shixiong has commented on countless sports competitions and witnessed important moments in the history of Chinese sports such as the women's volleyball team's five consecutive championships and China's first Olympic gold medal.But he has never explained a football game that can inspire the whole country!In his football game commentary memory, the most impressive thing is the shame of black 3 minutes, the 519 tragedy, and the careless loss of Jinzhou!

Today, however, a 45-year-old Chinese national led a League Two team to create miracles again and again, and finally broke into the FA Cup final.This reminded Song Shixiong of his dream when he was young. . . . .His dream continues to this day.That is, let the whole world know that Chinese people play football well!
Song Shixiong, an old man over eighty years old, hunched over and sat silently on the commentary seat.Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong, the two "children" who grew up listening to Song Shixiong's sports commentary stared at their childhood idols.Idols are getting old, and I am getting old too.The two of them had a sore nose at the same time.

The game is about to start, the dressing room of the Coventry team.

All the team staff and all the players stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a circle, with their heads bowed.

Head coach George Sr. led everyone to pray:
"Lord, please stay away from me. You are my strength, help me, I believe in you, don't let me be ashamed. Don't let the enemy triumph over me. The Lord is my shield, on which I lean Yes. Thank the Lord for granting me an unconquerable soul. I am the master of my destiny, I am the commander of my soul. I sincerely beg you to perform a miracle for me! Amen!"

After praying, the old George said to the disciples: "You have reached the final, and I can't ask for more from you. I only hope that many years later, when you mention this game with your sons and grandchildren, you can proudly say: Oh, The FA Cup final against Chelsea, I did my best! Come on, come on!"

The old lieutenant Liu Yun led a group of players into the player tunnel.

Beside them, Hazard, Diego Costa, Courtois, Cahill, David Luiz, Azpilicueta, Matic, Alonso, Moses, Pedro. . . . . .

The players in Coventry did not look at these big-name players.

You have your worth, we have our dreams.

Who says the weak can't aspire to victory? !
