Chapter 144: Beware of the Mourning Soldiers

It's the day before the game day again. In this round of the league, Coventry City hosts Notts County, who are at the bottom of the league.

Training within the Coventry team does not involve heavy training in the afternoon of the day before the match. At 4 p.m., George Sr. announced the end of training.

The players did not disband, they lay and sat in the Ricoh Stadium, chatting with each other.

You need to relax before a game, and chatting is one of the best ways to relax.

Alexander asked Liu Yun: "Liu, the lace newspaper said that you have a daughter?" ”

Speaking of his daughter, Liu Yun looked proud: "Yes, I just passed my sixteenth birthday last month. Wait until next month when I go back to China and take her to England to study. ”

Alexander looked surprised: "Sixteenth birthday? Didn't you, a father, hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her? In our UK, a girl's sixteenth birthday is very important. It's all about coming-of-age ceremonies. ”

Liu Yun was dumbfounded: "This... ”

Alexander said, "When she comes to England, let's make up a coming-of-age ceremony for her." I really envy you, Liu, you only have one daughter. I have three sons and one daughter. Every day when I come home, it feels like a world war has happened at home. My wife is so busy all day that she is about to be forced out of anxiety by the children. ”

Everyone was chatting on the grass when Liu Yun's mobile phone rang.

It was the Dean Isabella from the Coventry orphanage who called: "Hey, Liu? ”

"Hello, Isabella." Liu Yun greeted.

"Hello Liu. So, the children drew a banner for you, which is very interesting, it is a pig with a beret on his head and wings flying into the sky. Isabella said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

Liu Yun smiled dumbly: "I'm the pig that flew into the sky, right?" ”

Isabella replied, "Of course." As long as you stand in the wind, the pig will also fly into the sky. This phrase came out of the mouth of the old lieutenant of the Coventry team, and now it has become a mantra for children. Because they won't have a chance to watch the game at Ricoh Stadium tomorrow. So I was asked to give you a banner and hang it out to support you when the contest came. ”

Liu Yun was puzzled for a while: "Didn't have a chance to watch the game at Ricoh Stadium?" ”

Tickets to the Ricoh Arena are cheap, with a third-class seat costing just Β£5. Liu Yun didn't know why Isabella said that the children didn't have the opportunity to watch the game at Ricoh Stadium.

Isabella seemed to hear Liu Yun's doubts: "Liu, the children are too young. You know, every league day, the Ricoh Stadium is full of crazy fans. I'm afraid they're in danger。。。。。。 ”

Liu Yun said: "You can let them go to the box to watch the game!" The boxes are closed and safe. ”

Isabella smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to book tickets for the box." You know, there are more than a hundred children in the orphanage. You need to charter 4 private rooms at once. Money is not a problem. The problem is that the ticket office at Ricoh Arena won't give me tickets for 4 boxes at once. ”

Liu Yun said, "Don't worry, Isabella. I'll ask for you. ”

There is a saying in China that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do. Liu Yun directly found assistant coach Eda and told Eda about the box ticket.

After hearing this, Edda nodded: "Liu, have you started doing charity?" Very good! The British are generous and loving, rest assured, this matter is on me. ”

Eda called the Ricoh Stadium Ticket Office directly. Because the Ricoh Stadium itself is the asset of the Coventry Club, he, the assistant coach, spoke, and the ticket department naturally did not dare to shirk it.

If you give 4 boxes to the children in the orphanage, you will have to exchange 4 people who have booked the boxes for first-class tickets. The Coventry people who booked the box were quite reasonable, and when they knew that the box was going to be transferred to the children of the orphanage, they agreed to it.

Half an hour later, the manager of the ticket department sent Liu Yun tickets for four boxes.

Liu Yun called back the phone to Isabella: "Isabella, I have already got the box ticket." At 6 o'clock, I'll send it to you. ”

6 p.m. Liu Yun took a taxi and came to the gate of the orphanage.

Isabella, a half-aged, walked out in a 70s vintage floral dress with a white shawl. Her blonde hair shows off her charm even more in the rays of the setting sun.

"Liu, thank you so much!" Isabella stretched out her hand towards Liu Yun.

Liu Yun shook hands with Isabella, whose blue eyes were as clear as the sea. These bright eyes stared at Liu Yun, and Liu Yun's face was flushed.

Liu Yun said: "It's okay. Do you know our Huaguo's Lei Feng? It's fun to help others! At that time, Lei Feng was an example for all of us Chinese people to learn. ”

Isabella sighed, "Of course I do. But as far as I know, today's young people in China have a lot of complaints about Lei Feng, a national hero in the 60s of the 20th century。。。。。 ”

Liu Yun sighed: "Yes, some people always like to attack those great people in history. Are you a great man? Behold, thou great man is now trampled under my feet, and I am greater than the great。。。。。。 I really don't know what's wrong with the values of our generation of young people in China! ”

Elizabeth said, "Yes." By the way, Liu, how about I invite you to dinner as a token of gratitude? ”

Liu Yun waved his hand: "Forget it." Mrs. Hudson has already prepared dinner for me to come back to. See you tomorrow at the stadium. ”

Isabella didn't force Liu Yun: "Okay, then see you tomorrow on the court!" ”

。。。。。。。。。

Sunday, Ricoh Stadium.

Notts County's match against Coventry City is half an hour away.

Ricoh Arena, like a normal match day, was transformed into a sea of sky blue. The children of the Coventry orphanage were led to the box by the director, Isabella. They hung that funny banner outside the box.

On the banner, a pig wearing a green beret with a pair of wings is spreading its wings and flying into the blue sky. Underneath it reads: "Forward, Coventry, Forward, Old Lieutenant." ”

Coventry's starting line-up surprised the fans and disappointed the children at the orphanage!

The head coach actually pressed Liu Yun on the bench! The team's lineup also became 451!

However, fans are relieved when they think about it: Liu Yun is forty-five years old after all, and he needs to preserve his physical fitness. Notts County are currently bottom of the league and are not on the same level as Coventry. It is a reasonable choice for Xue to hide Liu Yun's strength.

In China, there is a proverb that says that good steel is used on the blade.

But there is also a proverb that calls the trapped beast to fight.

Notts County are now bottom of the table and are a real relegation team. Notts County was the first professional football club in Nottinghamshire, England, and one of the oldest surviving clubs in England. Neither the owners nor the fans will accept their team's relegation to the fifth tier.

So, this game Notts County is a back-and-forth!

And there is another proverb in Huaguo, which is called the victory of the mourning soldiers!
