Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 361 There is always a miracle

Thursday, Ricoh Stadium, Coventry.Coventry VS Leeds United.

Coventry is now in the middle of the league table.For a newly promoted League One, such a ranking is not bad.After all, Coventry is not a big club, and there is not much money to buy excellent players.

Leeds United are different.They are the temporary leaders of the Championship.If they can maintain the state of the Championship in the first half of the season, there will be no problem returning to the Premier League at the end of the season.

In terms of popularity, Leeds United at the beginning of the 21st century was a prestigious youth team in the Premier League.Coventry has been in the lower leagues for decades.

All in all, this is a game with a huge disparity in strength.

Coventry people have a natural unyielding spirit.Whether Liu Yun achieved the "Coventry Miracle" or the Coventry team achieved the "Old Lieutenant", Liu Yun himself can't tell.

Liu Yun took his wife Isabella to the box at the Ricoh Stadium.Liu Xiaoyan had class today, so she didn't come.

Liu Yun has struggled at the Ricoh Stadium for half a season, but has never entered a stadium box.More than half a year ago, he led a group of teammates to fight on the turf under the box. Today, he sat in the box as a spectator.

The game is about to start.The Sky Blues fans in the Ricoh Stadium sang "Forward, Coventry".

"When you go through life, it's a long, long way. Through disaster, we'll keep going. Child in this sky blue, keep going! Coventry! Though you've been through disaster, though the road is long , makes your heart beat so weary though you are. We keep going. Oh glory to Coventry, sky blue jersey! Coventry! Coventry!"

The familiar Ricoh Stadium, the familiar sky blue fan camp, the familiar "Go Forward, Coventry", Liu Yun seems to have returned to last season.

Liu Yun sent a text message to Mrs. Hudson's son Alger: "I'm at Ricoh Stadium."

Alger immediately replied: "I, Gloria, Luke, and Manny are all here. Coventry must win."

Liu Yun smiled happily and replied, "Coventry will win."

There are 5 minutes before the game starts, and the camera lens is shown on the old lieutenant Liu Yun in the box.Liu Yun appeared on the big screen at the Ricoh Stadium.

When the tens of thousands of fans in sky blue jerseys saw the old lieutenant in the box, they stood up collectively and applauded in the direction of the box.

Liu Yun stood up and waved to them.

For Coventry people, the old lieutenant will always be a hero in their hearts no matter where he is or for any club.The moment when Liu Yun led Coventry to win the FA Cup in that early summer afternoon has been engraved in the memory of Coventry people.

After the applause, the fans of the Sky Blue Legion sang the song "Pig Flying to the Sky".

"There was a big fat pig named Shute, who stood on the haystack every day. Oh, he wanted to fly into the sky. Everyone laughed at him, but he just stared at the sky. Until one day, there was a strong wind on the farm. Big fat pig Shute Oh, he was blown up into the sky. Oh, Shute the Big Fat Pig, he embraced the sky! He embraced the sky."

At the beginning, the fans in Coventry sang this song and watched their team go all the way through the FA Cup and win the FA Cup.

"As long as you stand in the wind, pigs can fly into the sky", this old lieutenant's motto has become the motto of all Coventry people!

The game is about to start.

Captain Alexander led a group of players into the stadium.Before kick-off, Alexander and a group of players gathered in a circle, seemingly praying.

When this scene appeared on the big screen at the Ricoh Stadium, Liu Yun could roughly guess what Alexander and his teammates were praying for.

Liu Yun couldn't help murmuring in the private room: "Thank you, Lord, for giving me an unconquerable soul. I am the commander of my soul, and I am the master of my destiny! Lord, you are my strength. Please help me .Lord, I believe in You, don't let the enemy triumph over me. The Lord is my strength, my refuge, my tower and liberator, my shield. Lord, I pray sincerely You, bless Coventry with victory!"

In the Ricoh Stadium, the prayers of the Coventry players were exactly the same as Liu Yun's.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Although Manla suffered stomach cramps a few days ago due to gluttony, he has now recovered and started the game.

After all, Coventry has a two-level strength gap with Leeds United.At the beginning of the game, Coventry was suppressed by Leeds United in their own half.

However, the Coventry players played [-] points and defended tenaciously under the leadership of captain Alexander.

Several shots by Leeds United were unlucky.Either fly out of the bottom line, or be confiscated by the Coventry goalkeeper.

The fans in the stands shouted in unison, cheering for the players: "We are Coventry! We are the defending champions of the FA Cup!"

The first half of the game passed minute by minute. Under the tenacious defense of the Coventry players, Leeds United was still unable to break through the goal of the Sky Blues.

The referee blows his whistle, the first half ends, 0:0.

Liu Yun said to Isabella: "The Coventry team is still so tenacious! The strength is weak but they have the spirit that the strong should have."

Isabella asked: "You mean, you think Coventry may upset Leeds United in the second half?"

Liu Yun nodded: "That's right! Football is round, everything is possible! I believe Coventry will definitely win!"

After the start of the second half of the game, Coventry once stabilized the situation on the court and faced off against Leeds United!However, in the 70th minute of the game, Leeds United seized the opportunity. Their striker scored a goal with a close shot in the small penalty area, 0:1, and Coventry fell behind.

In the next game, Coventry was still firmly suppressed in their own half.

Unknowingly, the time has entered the stoppage time stage.Coventry was at a disadvantage on the scene, and only 3 minutes were left for them.

Mrs. Hudson often said that the Lord will always perform miracles for the world.

Coventry actually created a miracle in just 3 minutes stoppage time!

First, after Alexander steals the ball, Manla hits Leeds United with a long pass. Manla relies on his speed to throw off his opponent to form a single goal, and calmly shoots to equalize the score against the goalkeeper.

According to the FA Cup competition system, the third round of the tie between the two sides within 90 minutes will have a rematch.

Leeds United's players are already preparing for their next game at home to Coventry.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, the Coventry team organized the last attack.Manla's long-range shot hits the Leeds United defender and bounces off the baseline, corner kick!
The corner kick was taken, Alexander jumped high and headed the ball!The ball went in! 2:1!Coventry miraculously scored two consecutive goals in stoppage time, eliminated the Championship leaders Leeds United, and got close to the fourth round of the FA Cup!
After Alexander scored a goal, the entire Ricoh Stadium was boiling!Liu Yun was even more excited and jumped up from his seat, hugging his wife Isabella together!
The singing of "Go Forward, Coventry" echoed over the Ricoh Stadium.
