Chapter 134: Old Lieutenant, War Machine
Coventry City were down by one goal in the opening 21 minutes. However, Portsmouth boss Fakmi was not relieved. He has pored over the video of the last game in Coventry. He understood that as long as that old lieutenant from Coventry was on the field, Portsmouth could not be taken lightly! That guy is a monster, a forty-five-year-old monster!
Farkemi walked to the sidelines and shouted at his players: "Defend hard, keep defending up!" Stare Liu and Manla! ”
Portsmouth's original style featured a 442 pressing all-out attack. Because of Liu Yun's existence, he actually forced Portsmouth's formation to 451.
It's a pity that some players can't be stared at to death. You can watch him die for 89 minutes, but for a minute you get distracted, you don't succeed, you make a feint, and he can create chances.
Obviously, Liu Yun is such a player!
In the 33rd minute, Dahei Manla took the ball in front, and Liu Yun saw the vacancy on the left side and ran directly to the left side.
Portsmouth's defenders flanked Manla. He tried in vain to squeeze Manra with his body.
However, Manla's body was strong, like a black tower. Keeping an eye on his defenders is like a mantis arm for a car!
Manla dribbled the ball to the edge of the box and he was not greedy. Distribute the ball to Liu Yun on the side.
The defender in charge of marking Liu Yun stretched out his foot to intercept the pass. It's a pity that he took a step, and Liu Yun got the ball.
Liu Yun took advantage of the situation to lead the ball, directly smashed the ball and changed direction, and hit the front of the penalty area at 45 degrees.
A Portsmouth defender made a tackle and headed straight for the ball at Liu's feet. Liu Yun picked up the ball with his left foot, jumped with his right foot, and even jumped up with the ball to avoid the tackle!
On the commentary bench, Fat Bob shouted: "Beautiful pick-and-roll!" ”
The prettier ones are yet to come.
After Liu Yun picked the ball over, the position had entered the left side of the penalty area, at a 45-degree angle to the goal. He delicately rubbed the inside of his left foot to shoot in an arc! The ball goes straight to the top right corner of the goal!
Portsmouth's goalkeeper misjudged. At such an angle, the best choice is to shoot at the near angle. That makes sense. So he focused his defensive attention on the top left corner.
It's a pity that Liu Yun is not a reasonable player!
The ball went straight to the top right far corner, but the goalkeeper's defensive attention was in the opposite direction. By the time he sees the direction of the ball, it's too late to make a save!
The ball went into the net, 1:1, in the 33rd minute of the first half, Liu Yun pulled a goal back!
In the stands of the "Yay ~~~~~~~~" Sky Blue Expeditionary Force, the fans were boiling!
The fat Bob on the commentary bench shouted even louder: "The ball ~~~~~ in!" Liu, it's Liu again. Coventry fans should love the old lieutenant to death! Not only are I a Coventry City fan, but I love this player now! At the age of forty-five, you can still have such a stable, no, such an amazing performance! No wonder Coventry fans call him 'The Great Old Lieutenant'! ”
His commentator partner Dunphy could only remain silent in embarrassment. A week ago, he also questioned Liu Yun for taking stimulants, and if he changed his words and praised Liu Yun at this time, what would his face be?
Liu Yun's celebration is still imitating the machine gun strafing of the god of war Batistuta!
Manla ran. Liu Yun punched him in a black celebration: "Good pass, Manla!" ”
Alexander, the captain of the field, also ran over: "Old lieutenant, my brother. The crosshair on your foot is almost as good as George Sr.'s Winchester shotgun! ”
In the stands of the Sky Blue Expeditionary Force, there is a father and son wearing Coventry jerseys with Coventry team emblems painted on their faces. It was Alger, the son of Mrs. Hudson, and Luke, the eldest grandson of Liu Yun's landlord. Alger and his son hugged each other excitedly.
Luke said, "Liu is amazing! It's a war machine! ”
A fan next to him applauded and said, "Thank God for sending the old lieutenant to Coventry at the halfway point of the season." ”
Luke boasted to the fan, "Hey, man, I get to have lunch with the old lieutenant once a week!" Do you want his signature? ”
There's nothing more exciting than scoring a goal against a sworn rival team, and the fans should be partying, they should be scared, they should be defiant! More than 10,000 Sky Blue Expeditionary Force fans stretched out their right hands high, raised their middle fingers, and 10,000 shouted in unison: "***, Portsmouth mongrel, the old lieutenant grass your mother for us!" ”
Kick-off on the halfway line. Coventry, who equalised, was demoralised and more aggressive. On the other hand, Portsmouth, on the other hand, is demoralized. knew that the forty-five-year-old Huaguo player on the other side was an old demon, and he had clearly deployed a plan to guard him before the game. But I still couldn't look at him, and I still let him score. The whole of Portsmouth, from the players to the coaches to the fans, was in despair.
However, there were more than 60 minutes left in the game, and the score was only a draw. There is no such thing as 20 shots in football. The Portsmouth players adjusted their mentality and continued to play with Coventry City on the pitch.
The two sides did not achieve anything for the remaining ten minutes of the first half, and the score remained 1:1 until halftime.
Both sides returned to the break room. The atmosphere in the lounges of the two teams was very different.
In the break room in Portsmouth, Farkemi was furious. The two marking defenders who will be responsible for marking Liu Yun and Manla will be scolding the bloody dogs.
The lounge in Coventry is a different story. George Sr.'s midfield arrangement is just one sentence: "Keep the first half of the game." ”
After George Sr. finished speaking, he ran to the smoking room outside the locker room to enjoy a Cuban cigar.
It's a tailwind for Coventry right now. George Sr. has always been inactive when he is downwind.
The players in the dressing room were all relaxed. This relaxation comes from self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from Coventry having Liu Yun's thickest thigh!
The players even started to discuss Chinese cuisine.
First, Alexander began to speak. He complained to Liu Yun: "The food in your Huaguo is really delicious. It's a pity that there is only one Chinese restaurant in Coventry. Every week, my wife and I have to queue up to make an appointment when we go to dinner. ”
When it comes to eating, the tower-like black striker Manla is a big foodie. He leaned over and interjected: "Oh, old lieutenant, I have heard in South Africa that the food of the Chinese is the best in the world. It's a pity I never ate it. ”
Manla, a foodie, swallowed when he said this.
I have to say that China has been opening up to the outside world for almost 40 years, and the four major cuisines of China have gone abroad and gone to the world! It has been recognized by foodies from all over the world.
Liu Yun smiled: "When you win this game, I will cook you an authentic Chinese meal when you return to Coventry!" Then the whole team will come to my house! ”
In Liu Yun's words, it seems that he has decided that this game can be won! The excellent performance in the first two games has given him a lot of self-confidence!
Alexander laughed and said, "I didn't expect our old lieutenant to be a good chef in addition to scoring goals!" Okay, win this game and go to the old lieutenant's house for a fancy meal. ”
The second half is about to begin. The whole team surrounded the city and folded their hands together. Alexander, as captain, reiterated again: "Win this game and go to the old lieutenant's house for a good meal!" ”
The players also shouted: "Win this game, go to the old lieutenant's house for a good meal!" ”
