Chapter 225: Promotion to League One
"David Show" made Liu Yun brush up on another wave of popularity in the UK. His fluency in English and his ability to speak well left a good impression on the British.
The lucrative appearance fee is even more substantial. Liu Yun sighed, this is really in response to Seinfeld's original words: "In these days, as long as people are famous, someone will line up to send you money."
The League Two continued, and in the next four league games, Coventry City won three wins and one draw under the leadership of Liu Yun, widening the gap with fourth-place Luton Town to nine points. With three league games remaining, Coventry face bottom-of-the-table Leyton Orient in League Two in the penultimate round, and with just one point, Coventry will secure a place in League One next season.
At the weekend, on League Two match day, Coventry City hosted league vice-leaders Leyton East.
It was a no-brainer game. Old George even let Liu Yun, Manla, and Qu Bai start at the same time.
Just 5 minutes into the first half, Manla received a second pass from Liu Yun in the penalty area, 1:0.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Liu Yun went straight to Qu Bai. Qu Bai used his speed advantage to eat the opposition centre-back to form a one-on-one knife, and he was very calm in front of the goalkeeper, and fired a low shot from a tricky angle to give Coventry City another goal. 2:0γ
Before the end of the first half, Qu Bai's breakthrough forced the opponent to foul. Coventry City win a free-kick from 25 yards out of the box. Liu Yun hit the penalty shot, 3:0.
In the second half, Coventry became more and more courageous. In the 55th minute, Manla grabbed a header in the opponent's penalty area and headed the ball into the net. 4:0γ
In the 70th minute of the game, Alexander scored through a long-range shot. 5:0γ
In the 85th minute of the game, Liu Yun connected three defenders of Leyton Oriental and scored from close range in the penalty area. 6:0γ
In the 89th minute of the game, George replaced Liu Yun and let Liu Yun accept the applause of the audience.
At the end of the game, Coventry City beat League vice-captain Leyton Orient 6-0. Two rounds ahead of schedule to secure a place in League One for next season.
The fans in the stands were boiling. They chanted: "Old lieutenant, old lieutenant, old lieutenant".
In the first half of the league, Coventry City performed in a decent way and have been in the middle of the table. Coventry's players, coaches and fans, who would dare to expect the team to finish in the top three at the end of the season and enter League One?
Liu Yun's arrival changed all that. He led the team to the second half of the league and finished in the top three with a good record, allowing Coventry City to return to League One after four years.
Every player in Coventry, every fan, including manager George Sr., is grateful to Liu Yun.
Liu Yun and the players walked near the arc of the center circle and bowed to the fans in the stands. Then, the Coventry players lifted Liu Yun up and walked around the stadium to receive cheers from the fans.
The shouts of the fans "old lieutenant, old lieutenant, old lieutenant" were hoarse.
In the excitement, the fans were reluctant. They know that the team is in League One and the old lieutenant will have to go elsewhere next season.
Fans firmly believe that if there is no labor certification system, if the old lieutenant is given two more years to stay in the team, the old lieutenant will definitely lead the team to the Premier League!
Many female fans even shed tears.
Affectionate parting since ancient times.
Coventry's new mascots, "Flying Pig Schutt", and "Baby Blue Elephant Beta" enter the stadium. Two big cute creatures walked up to Liu Yun and gave the old lieutenant Liu Yun a kiss on the left and right.
Liu Yun has brought more than just an improvement in performance to the team. What he brings to the team is a spirit that never admits defeat.
What about against a strong team? "As long as you stand in the wind, pigs can fly into the sky!"
What about forty-five? As long as you have extraordinary courage, you can stand on the field again!
Coventry fans began singing the new cheering song, "Pigs Flying to the Sky":
"There was a big fat pig named Shute who stood on the haystack every day. Oh, he wants to fly, oh, he wants to fly. Everyone else laughed at him, he just stared at the sky. Until one day, a strong wind blew on the farm. Oh, big fat pig Shute, he was blown up by the wind. Oh, big fat pig Shute, he embraced the sky! He embraced the sky! β
It's a pity that the hero of the city of Coventry, the team's spiritual leader, the old lieutenant, is still a few games away from leaving the city.
Alexander picked up the microphone and asked the crowd in a loud voice: "What are we aiming for in the FA Cup?" β
The fans chanted, "Champion! Champion! Champion! β
Whatever the Championship leaders meet in the semi-finals, whether they face Chelsea or Manchester City in the final, Coventry fans are confident that Coventry can do wonders under the leadership of the old lieutenant.
Mayor Pine led a group of people into the court. In front of tens of thousands of spectators, he awarded Liu Yun a Lifetime Honorary Citizen Medal. On this medal is a phoenix. It represents the spirit of the city of Coventry β never give up hope and be reborn even if disaster strikes!
Next to Mayor Pine stood Coventry's local celebrities. Speaker of the Coventry Parliament Abbagon, Sir Sherlock, Chairman of the Coventry Textile Association, famous Coventry writer Pryushkin, and Grande, shareholder of Coventry Bard Bankγγγγγ The celebrities shook hands with Liu Yun one by one.
Mrs. Hudson's house.
Mrs. Hudson, 76, smiled and closed her eyes after seeing her team promoted to League One. She's gone. She didn't have time to see her Chinese son in the FA Cup semi-finals and final. Pancreatic cancer was the demon that devoured her life.
She was right on the day she made her will. This 76-year-old Englishwoman was born in the ruins of the bombing of Coventry. She was born out of a disaster. Now that he is accompanied by his sons and grandchildren, he can be regarded as dying in happiness.
Born in disaster, died in happiness. Come crying and walk away with a smile. Life and death in the world are just like that.
The Ricoh Stadium's celebration of the team's promotion to League One is coming to an end.
Liu Yun received a text message from Alger: "She went to heaven." β
Liu Yun hurriedly asked Alexander to drive him home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw several clergy carrying Mrs. Hudson into the coffin.
Alger sat quietly next to the coffin.
Gloria, Big Luke, and Little Manny wept silently.
Seeing that Liu Yun was back, Alger stepped forward and handed him a cross: "My mother gave me this cross before the game started, and she asked me to hand it over to you." She asked me to tell you: God will do a miracle to make Coventry win the FA Cup! β
Liu Yun took the cross, a trace of tears crossed his eyes. He put the cross in the pouch around his neck.
The peace bag was obtained by the second aunt for him in a temple in Handong ten years ago. It contained an amulet.
Now there were three things in the bag: Mrs. Hudson's cross, the amulet that his second aunt had begged him for, and the lottery ticket that the old Colonel Franco had given him.
