Chapter 123: Great Players in Great Coventry
Liu Yun's goal overtook the score to 3:2, and at this time added injury time, but there were still 5 minutes left to end the game! In 5 minutes, Coventry will win the battle of the dead! And it's a hearty Jedi comeback!
Portsmouth are now just two points clear of second place in the league table, and if they can't take one point away from Ricoh Stadium, their top spot is in jeopardy! Naturally, they will not sit still, they have launched a tidal onslaught!
On the other hand, on the Coventry side, all the players retreated into their own half of the defense! Even Liu Yun's single arrow retreated to the arc of his own penalty area. Although his defensive ability is average, there is a way that multiple monkeys have more than three points, not to mention that Liu Yun is a big living person?
The Portsmouth winger instigated the attack on the right flank, dribbling to the baseline and crossing into the box. The Portsmouth striker grabbed the landing spot and shot angrily!
Although the bearded captain Alexander has a bad temper and is a bully in the Coventry dressing room, he has to say that he has the professionalism that a professional player should have. He gave up his body to block the gun's eye and directly blocked the Portsmouth striker's close shot with his body!
The ball hits Alexander's body and bounces to the edge of the box. Liu Yun received the ball and cleared it directly with a big foot!
As the minutes ticked by, Coventry manager George Sr. took out his antique pocket watch and looked at the time. 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds. He looked up at the referee on the field.
The referee glanced down at his watch and picked up the whistle: "Toot ~" The final whistle sounded!
Coventry won the battle of mortal enemies with Liu Yun's brace and a wonderful assist!
The moment the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Ricoh Stadium was boiling! Coventry fans set off fireworks sticks and sang the song "Forward, Coventry": "It's a long, long road when you're going through life. Through the disaster, we will continue to move forward. Children in this sky blue dress, keep going! Coventry! Although you have experienced disasters, although the road is long, and your heart beats hard, although you are tired, we continue to move forward. Oh, the glory of Coventry, the sky blue jersey! Coventry! Coventry! β
A group of players from the Coventry team even lifted Liu Yun up, and Liu Yun sat on a sedan chair formed by his teammates like an emperor to circle the field and celebrate with the fans!
After the Coventry fans sang "Forward, Coventry", the audience of 20,000 people began to sing in unison: "There is only one Liu in the world!" There is only one Liu in the world, and he is in the great Coventry! β
On the other hand, the East Stand, where the Portsmouth fans are located, is as silent as death at this time. Sometimes silence is frightening above anything. Portsmouth fans left the stadium in silence, while the Coventry Police and the FPU team seconded from the West Midlands Police Department were in good spirits!
Inside the Ricoh Stadium, the fans and players celebrated for a full twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, a group of Coventry players carried Liu Yun back to the locker room!
Old George, whose face did not change after the Alps collapsed, had a rare smile on his face at this moment, and he said to his disciples, "Well done, young men. You've given the arrogant Portsmouth mongrels a taste of the Coventry team. At the same time, you have won the battle of mortal enemies! β
Then, old George walked up to Liu Yun and said to Liu Yun: "Liu, I want to apologize to you. I seriously underestimated your strength before! β
Yes, Liu Yun's two goals and an assist presented his true strength to the coach, teammates, and fans. If the first goal reflects his excellent dribbling and ball sense. That assist was a testament to his exceptional vision and precise passing ability. The second beautiful free kick in the arc of Best's showed his superb shooting skills!
In addition to the average speed, Liu Yun's on-court ability can be called perfect!
Alexander also walked up to Liu Yun, and he patted Liu Yun on the shoulder: "Liu, my brother." I also want you to apologize, my attitude towards you was too harshγγγγγγ β
Zhang Li translated Alexander's words to Liu Yun, who smiled at Alexander and put his arms around Alexander's shoulders.
Edda, the team's assistant coach and scout, walked into the locker room with a bottle of champagne in his hand. In English football tradition, winning a battle of sworn enemies is far more celebrated than winning a league title!
γγγγγγ
While the players and coaches in Coventry City celebrated wildly, a massive fan brawl broke out outside the stadium.
It's very much in line with British football tradition.
It's very British.
Fortunately, the Coventry police were prepared, and with the help of the West Midlands Police's professional riot squad, the large-scale brawl did not turn into a riot.
After the team celebrates, the players have to go home. Liu Yun and Zhang Li were about to walk out of the locker room, but they were stopped by captain Alexander: "Liu, Zhang, you want to go home?" β
Liu Yun nodded: "Yes, do you want to celebrate all night here?" β
The players around Liu Yun burst into laughter. Alexander smiled and leaned back: "Just walk home?" Liu, do you know that with your humiliation of the Portsmouth mongrels at the Ricoh Stadium tonight, I'm afraid that as soon as you walk out of the Ricoh Stadium, you will be eaten alive by those Portsmouth mongrels! Wait for the team's security and the Coventry police. They'll escort you home! β
After a while, several policemen walked in. A group of Coventry players were guided by the police into a bus. The bus, escorted by the police, took the Coventry players door-to-door to their homes.
As soon as Liu Yun and Zhang Li returned home, they were confronted by Mrs. Hudson, Gloria, and Little Manny.
Mrs. Hudson gave Liu Yun an English kiss: "Liu, my child, Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, your performance tonight is the pride of Coventry!" β
Gloria, an English noblewoman, also offered her own fragrant kiss to Liu Yun.
Little Manny even held a soccer ball and grabbed Liu Yun's hand: "Hey, Oriental liar, no, Oriental hero." Can I sign my name on my soccer ball? β
Liu Yun patted Little Manny's head and was about to sign an autograph, but he suddenly found that there were two people missing from the family!
"What about Alger and Luke?" Liu Yun asked Mrs. Hudson.
Mrs. Hudson smiled, "They taught those damn Portsmouth mongrels off the field. Now detained at Coventry Police Station! I'll bail them out in a moment. β
"Detention?" When Liu Yun heard this, he immediately became anxious. In China, it is a big deal for a family member to be locked up in the bureau, but the British lady in front of her can handle it calmly?
Mrs. Hudson seemed to see through Liu Yun's doubts. "In the UK, it's not uncommon to be detained in the police station for a post-match brawl," she explains. Those damn Portsmouth mongrels need to be taught a lesson by our Coventry men! β
In the UK, people basically don't go out with large amounts of cash, and basically spend with their cards. Therefore, there is not much cash left at home. Mrs. Hudson, however, seemed to have been prepared. She took a wad of pounds from her bedroom and put it in her handbag to go with her daughter-in-law, Gloria, to the police station to bail out her son, Alger, and grandson, Luke.
Mrs. Hudson called Liu Yun "child", and Liu Yun got along with Mrs. Hudson's family these days, and has long regarded this family as her own relatives.
Liu Yun said to Mrs. Hudson, "Mrs. Hudson, I will go with you to the police station to bail out Alger and Luke." β
Mrs. Hudson nodded, "Very well, Gloria, you stay at home and look after Manny." I went with Liu and Zhang to bail out Alger and Luke. β
