Chapter 635: Your Dad Is Still Your Daddy
Ahead of the start of the season, The Sun predicted that 34-year-old veteran Robert Lewandowski would struggle to maintain his form from last season. After all, age is there.
Lewandowski lashed out at The Sun on Twitter: If the old lieutenant can lead Coventry back to the Premier League at the age of 50, why can't I help Manchester United win five consecutive Premier League titles?
This season, Lewandowski's form is still hot. He is Manchester United's well-deserved second-leading scorer, scoring only five fewer goals than top scorer Qu Bai.
Lewandowski made a contribution at the crucial moment of the six-point battle, and with this roar of celebration of the goal, all the doubts about him before the season disappeared!
The scoreboard became 1:0 behind Coventry!
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "Lewandowski is still the top scorer in all of Europe!" He has a keen sense of smell in front of goal and can always be in the most critical position at the most critical moment. ”
Manchester United were demoralised after the goal and took control of the situation. Possession went from five to four or six.
In the 28th minute, Qu Bai and Lewandowski made a beautiful combination in the penalty area. Mr. Five O'Clock shoots from close range on the line of the six-yard box. Luckily, goalkeeper Billy did a great job and lifted the ball off the line with one palm.
In the 31st minute, Rashford repeated his old trick, broke through on the wing and crossed the bottom, Lewandowski headed the goal, which was confiscated by Billy.
In the 33rd minute, Pogba shot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball almost grazed the post of the Coventry goal.
Manchester United played a wave of attacking surge. Coventry don't seem to have anything to do in front of a mighty Manchester United.
Moment of truth. Liu Yun proved one thing to Qu Bai:
Father-in-law is also a father! Your dad is still your dad!
In the 35th minute, the twin brothers Bebeto and Garrincha doubled Pogba, Garrincha cut off the ball at Pogba's feet and handed it to the white wind in front of him to launch a counterattack.
The daytime wind dribbled the ball, and a smash changed to a deft past the strong Nemanja Matic.
Decisively stuff the ball into the box!
The quality of this through ball is extremely high. Liu Yun got a pass from Bai Rifeng in the penalty area!
The old lieutenant pulled the ball horizontally, shook off Bailly in front of him, and got the angle of the shot!
Kicker! The ball flew straight into the top right corner of the Manchester United goal! It was a powerful shot with a lot of pressure and a tricky angle.
De Gea can't make a save! The ball is in!
1:1! The old lieutenant has scored! Coventry equalised!
Usually after an opponent's goal at Old Trafford, the Red Devils fans will remain silent or boo.
But now, all 80,000 Red Devils fans in the stadium rose to applaud!
The old lieutenant is still the old lieutenant who scored a lot of goals!
The big-mouthed Dunphy shouted loudly: "GOAL~~ The old lieutenant has scored!" Scored again at Old Trafford after two years! It's just that this goal broke through Manchester United's goal! 28th goal of the season! This is the twentieth round of the Premier League! Is the old lieutenant really going to challenge Everton's legendary goalscorer Dean for England's top-flight goal record set a hundred years ago? That record — that's been standing for 100 years! Football in the early 20th century is not the same thing as football in the 21st century! ”
After Liu Yun scored a goal, he celebrated his goal again with an old lieutenant-style machine gun shooting action at the Theater of Dreams after two years!
This goal ignited the passion of the Manchester United fans in the stadium!
They are reminded of that passionate season two years ago! Manchester United, under the leadership of the old lieutenant, has won the league, the Champions League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup!
They remembered that year, when the old lieutenant won the Double Red Cross for Manchester United with a gunshot wound!
They remembered that year, when the old lieutenant helped United win games again and again at the last minute!
They remembered that year, when the old lieutenant stared at the opponent's goal with blood on his face...
The Red Devils fans were still applauding. Now, they are starting to cheer!
Red Devils fans, cheering on the opposition players who broke through their own doors! This is the first time in Old Trafford's 110-year history!
Red Devils fans even started chanting: "There is only one old lieutenant in the world!" ”
Singing wafts over Old Trafford.
The big-mouthed Dunphy said with a smile: "At this moment, the old lieutenant is not only from Coventry, but also from Manchester United - and the hero of the entire Premier League!" Cheering for the heroes is the only thing these fans want to do! ”
Fat Bob said, "That's right! Great players always earn the respect of their opponents! ”
Liu Yun's former teammates - De Gea, Bailly, Hummels - actually extended a thumbs up to him.
This "battle between David and Goliath" has a little more warmth because of the presence of the old lieutenant Liu Yun.
In the remaining 10 minutes of the first half, neither side was scoreless.
The score of 1:1 remained until the end of the first half.
In the players' tunnel, Qu Bai walked up to his father-in-law: "Dad, your goal is simply a textbook goal." ”
Liu Yun joked with his son-in-law: "How about it, your father is still your father, right?" ”
Qu Bai laughed: "Yes, yes, yes!" But Dad, in the second half, I, as a son-in-law, will not give up the game easily. Let your defenders and Billy be careful. ”
Back in the dressing room, head coach Eda said to the crowd: "You played well in the first half. Lewandowski's goal was not caused by our mistakes. ”
Eda turned her head and praised Billy specifically: "Especially Billy. A couple of saves were perfect! ”
Ever since Liu Yun talked to Billy, Billy has been working hard in training. That effort was put on the field and translated into one amazing save after another.
As for the old lieutenant Liu Yun, Eda had no intention of praising him at all.
Praise is an incentive for young people.
Old lieutenant? Need incentives? Joke.
Besides, Liu Yun's status in Coventry is not at all qualified to "praise" him - including head coach Edda.
Manchester United's dressing room.
Mourinho said to his disciples: "In the second half, we must - stare at the old lieutenant!"
When he said this, Mu Shuai himself had no confidence.
Old lieutenant - how can you stare to death? That old demon is simply a time bomb on the edge of the forbidden area. I don't know when it's going to explode.
Qu Bai is no longer the rookie in the Manchester United dressing room. He has a full voice. He spoke: "Boss, I don't think it's realistic to stare at my dad to death. Pogba and Nemanja Matic should be focusing on the daylighter. This daytime is in the top three of the Premier League's assists charts. This guy always gets shells to my dad's feet at the right time. ”
Mourinho nodded: "Qu's words make sense. Since it is difficult to distinguish between the old lieutenant, look at those who deliver shells to him. ”
