Chapter 231: The Coventry Miracle
It can be said that Liu Yun's goal has killed the game!
The hearts of the Newcastle United players are only hoping that this 3-0 tragedy will end quickly.
In the FA Cup, teams in the upper leagues often cause big scores against the weaker teams in the lower leagues. However, this time, the underdogs Coventry gave the Championship leaders a taste of tragedy!
In the 89th minute of the game, Old George replaced Liu Yun, Qu Bai and Manla at the same time. The goal was to get the three goalscorers to receive a round of applause from the Coventry City fans!
There will be three minutes of stoppage time. In these 3 minutes, the seats in the entire Stadium of Light were almost half empty! All Newcastle United fans have left the stadium early!
"Toot ~" The referee blew the whistle, and Coventry beat Newcastle United by 3 goals to get close to the FA Cup final!
The Coventry players on the pitch all rushed to the bench at the end of the game! They threw Liu Yun, Qu Bai, and Manla into the sky one after another!
Old George also lit a cigar and smiled as he watched his disciples celebrate wildly.
The Stadium of Light has almost become the home of Coventry!
The stands were filled with the singing of "Forward, Coventry".
"It's a long, long road when you go through life. After setbacks, we will continue to move forward! β
The lyrics of the Coventry team song are very well written. The pitch is like life. Who would dare to say that a lifetime will be smooth sailing?
After setbacks, there will always be a day when the rainbow will be seen after the storm! There will always be miracles!
The Coventry team has done wonders now!
The enthusiasm of the Coventry fans seems to be almost removing the rain shields from the Stadium of Light.
In the box of the godfather of the "Blood Gang" in the stands, even those villainous men were hugging each other to celebrate.
Guangming Stadium Press Room, post-match press conference.
It has to be said that the manager of Newcastle United, Yuuku, is an atmospheric manager who can afford to lose.
"Dear Yuqo manager, what do you think of Newcastle United's big defeat? You must know that Newcastle United is a Championship team. Coventry is just one League Two team. β
Yuyiku smiled and joked rather gracefully: "I think the biggest reason why we lost this game by a big score is that we don't have an old lieutenant." The old lieutenant was a great player. He almost single-handedly sent Coventry from the eighth round all the way to the FA Cup final! β
Yuiku paused and continued: "But that's what football is. There will always be miracles. It's just a shame that my team is a victim of the Coventry Miracle! β
The reporter continued to ask: "Coventry Wonder, do you call this game the Coventry Wonder?" β
Yuyiku shook his head: "It's not just this game. From the eighth round all the way, they have repeatedly overcome strong opponents. Even Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool were all knocked out by them. Coventry's performance in this FA Cup is worthy of the term 'Coventry Wonder'. On the other side of the English Channel, the Germans have the much-talked-about 'Kaiserslautern Miracle' and now we have the 'Coventry Miracle' in the FA Cup! β
A reporter suddenly stood up. A group of peers looked at him with disdain. The post-match press conference is a place of order. Why did you suddenly get up and ask questions?
The reporter seemed to see the disdain of his peers. He spread his hands and said, "Gentlemen, please forgive me for being abrupt. It's just that I now have big news to tell Coach George and Old Lieutenant Liu Yun. Half a minute earlier, another FA Cup semi-final had come to an end. Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1. In other words, Coventry's final opponent is Chelsea! β
There was an uproar in the press room.
Chelsea are now considered the best in the Premier League! This season, they are firmly at the top of the Premier League!
Coventry, a small club from the fourth tier, will meet the best team in the Premier League in the final?
If League Two side Coventry can really beat Chelsea in the final, the "Coventry Miracle" will surely go down in the history of English football!
"Hello, old lieutenant. I'm a reporter for The Guardian. What do you think of the next game? You know, Chelsea is the strongest team in England right now! β
Liu Yun replied: "I am not a Catholic. My late landlord, Mrs. Hudson, was a devout Catholic. One of the things that often comes to her lips is: 'God always sends miracles on earth.' ββ
Liu Yun took a sip of water and said some heroic words: "Now that we have reached the final, our Coventry team has only one goal - that is, the final champion!" This is not an inflated mantra! From round eight all the way, we worked hard to play every game. Every time I face a strong team, the outside world always comments that this is a 99% losing game, this is a 100% losing game, this is a 200% losing game! However, we made it all the way to the finals, and there is no such thing as 100% in this world! Even if there is only one percent chance, we will give 100 percent effort! β
Qu Bai, who was beside Liu Yun, couldn't help but applaud. After that, the entire press hall applauded Liu Yun. Even the head coach of the opponent Newcastle United, Yu Yiku, was infected by Liu Yun's arrogance and applauded!
But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There are always reporters who like to stir up trouble: "Dear Coach Yuiku, I'm a reporter from The Sun. The referee repeatedly misjudged in this game. In your opinion, is there a referee reason for losing this game? β
The Sun is the most authoritative newspaper in the UK, and the reporter asked this question just to get Yuuqo to attack the referee and make a big news.
Although Yuyiku had a hot temper on the field, he was calm at the press conference: "The referee's problem? Well, the referee did have a couple of major misjudgments in this match. But I would say that even without the referee's misjudgement, we would have lost to Coventry. Since it comes to miscalculation, I have to applaud the old lieutenant Liu again! We all saw the penalty in the first half. His performance is a fair play spirit! This is a player with great skills and a great personality! β
The reporter from The Sun seemed determined to make a big story, and he continued to ask: "Old lieutenant, the penalty you missedγγγγγ Was it intentional? β
The game is over, and Liu Yun doesn't want to cause any trouble. His reply was rather alert: "I would like to borrow a phrase from my late landlord, Mrs. Hudson, to answer your question: 'My lord does not want the wrong thing to happen.'" Maybe it was God's will, and I missed the penalty. β
"Hello, Qu, I'm a reporter for The Times. You scored a crucial goal in this game. As far as we know, you're only eighteen years old. How are you feeling right now? β
For the first time, Qu Bai was the focus of a press conference.
"It's very exciting," he said. I would like to thank the Coventry City fans for their support. At the same time, I would also like to thank my Uncle Liu Yun! He set an example for me, a young man, at the age of forty-five. Play every game seriously and calmly grasp every opportunity. I think that's what I learned from him! β
