Two years later, in the summer, Wembley Stadium, the final of the Championship promotion play-offs.

Liu Yun wore Coventry's sky-blue No. 49 shirt and stood in front of the penalty spot. His jersey was covered in grass stains.

Championship promotion rules: The top two teams at the end of the season go directly to the Premier League. The 3rd to 6th place will play two rounds of play-offs to determine the last Premier League spot.

Play-off format, 3rd place VS 6th place. 4th place VS 5th place.

The first round is played over two legs, home and away. The final was played at a neutral stadium (Wembley Stadium).

Two years ago, Ballon d'Or winner and Manchester United's spiritual leader, the old lieutenant, devalued himself and returned to the starting point of his European football journey at League One side Coventry.

Liu Yun joined Coventry and brought several sponsorships from large enterprises to the Coventry team. This allowed Coventry to acquire a number of talented young players during the summer break that year.

Prior to that season, Coventry were only a League One underdog who were barely relegated.

After Liu Yun's return, he brought Coventry not only a large amount of sponsorship money, but also injected a new soul into Coventry, a century-old club, as the spiritual leader of the team - never give up and never surrender.

Under the leadership of the old lieutenant, Coventry City excelled that season, finishing all the way to the top three in the table.

In the end, Coventry were promoted to the Championship in the season of Liu Yun's return, finishing third in League One.

Coventry's journey to the Championship this season has been full of twists and turns.

The old lieutenant was injured in the opening game of the Championship and recuperated for more than a month, and Coventry City suffered a wave of five consecutive defeats.

Everyone thought that promoted side Coventry would definitely be relegated back to League One at the end of the season.

Whether it is club capital or player strength, Coventry City is the worst of the 24 teams in the Championship.

No matter how powerful the old lieutenant is, he is just a person, not a god! It is simply impossible to keep a weakened Coventry in the Championship.

Who would have thought that after the old lieutenant returned from injury, he turned on the infinite brush goal mode. He almost single-handedly led Coventry to sixth place in the table at the end of the season.

This took everyone by surprise. Coventry, who scored 0 goals in the first five rounds of the league and accumulated 0 points, actually qualified for the promotion play-offs? Got a chance to hit the Premier League?

However, the media is still not optimistic about Coventry's future in the Championship play-offs.

You must know that in the 48 rounds of the Championship, the top Newcastle United has 96 points. West Bromwich Albion are in fifth place with 92 points. In other words, there is only a gap of 4 points from the championship to the fifth place.

Coventry, on the other hand, is in sixth place, with only 71 points. There is a full seven wins gap to fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion.

In the professional league of any country in the world, the points at the end of the season equate to strength. In other words, there is a huge gap between Coventry and the other three teams in the promotion play-offs.

Fortunately, Coventry has the old demon old lieutenant Liu Yun.

In the first round of the play-offs, Coventry City faced third-placed Sunderland.

Coventry did their best at home in the first round and still lost 1-0 to Sunderland. In the away game, the old lieutenant scored twice and beat Sunderland 2-1. With one away goal advantage, the Blues stumbled into the Championship promotion play-off final at Wembley Stadium.

In the final, Coventry was suppressed by their opponents Cardiff City throughout the match. Liu Yun was also unlucky up front, with five shots, a post, and a crossbar.

Fortunately, 19-year-old goalkeeper Pulitt, who had just been promoted from the Coventry City reserve team to the first team last season, was in great form, saving three must-have goals from Cardiff City to keep the goal open.

The score remained 0-0 until stoppage time.

Just as the head coaches of both teams were thinking about the lineup adjustment for overtime, the old lieutenant Liu Yun staged a magical scene again!

He got past three people on the edge of the box and into the box. Cardiff City's young defender De Fora was inexperienced and pulled Liu Yun in a hurry and was awarded a penalty.

Coventry City wins the penalty! At the same time, he also won the double jump in two years and the best chance of promotion to the Premier League!

Liu Yun stood in front of the penalty spot, staring at Cardiff City's goal.

The Cardiff goalkeeper jumped left and right, interfering with Liu Yun's line of sight.

Liu Yun took a deep breath, ran up, and shot!

The ball flew into the bottom right corner of the Cardiff City goal. The ball is in! 1：0！

The big-mouthed Dunphy on the commentator's bench shouted: "The ball is in!" The amazing old lieutenant once again helped Coventry at the most critical moment! 1：0！ He's become a football legend! With 2 minutes left, Coventry will be back in the Premier League after 23 years! The great old lieutenant has once again worked a miracle! Sky Blue Legion! Defend, defend, defend! Hold on for the last 2 minutes and you'll make history! ”

Big Mouth Dunphy and Fat Bob have been the "exclusive commentators for the Old Lieutenant Game" on SKY TV. When the old lieutenant was in League B, they were the English B commentators. The old lieutenant arrived at Manchester United, and they became Premier League commentators again. The old lieutenant returned to Coventry and they first went to the League One commentary department for a year, and now they are members of the Championship commentary department.

Fat Bob said, "Oh my God, there are more than ten days, and it is the old lieutenant's 50th birthday." He will equal Stanley Matthews' record for 50 years of action in the English top flight! The old lieutenant was born to make history! ”

Cardiff City midfielders kick off again.

Including Liu Yun, all the Coventry players returned to their own half of the defense.

2 minutes, 1 1/2 minutes, 1 minute, 20 seconds...

Coventry City manager Eda was afraid to look on the pitch. His eyes were fixed on his watch. The last 20 seconds seemed like a century long to him.

The image of the first time he met Liu Yun came to his mind.

At that time, Edda was a scout and assistant coach at Coventry. George Sr. sent him to Asia in search of a suitable substitute striker.

Sun Jihai, a member of the Premier League Hall of Fame, introduced him to the Chinese league team Pearl River Sea Soul to inspect the 45-year-old Liu Yun.

When he heard that the player introduced by Sun Jihai was 45 years old, his heart was broken. He thought at the time that if head coach George Sr. heard the news, he would definitely take his Winchester shotgun across Eurasia and beat him into a hornet's nest.

In order to save face for the Premier League Hall of Famer, he only symbolically went to the Pearl River. He did not give any hope for his trip to the Pearl River.

When I first saw Liu Yun, it was pouring rain on the Pearl River. Pearl River's head coach, Hao Hexi, a former Asian footballer, had no choice but to arrange a 5v5 match in an indoor venue.

As a result, the old lieutenant conquered Edda with his performance...

Thus, there is a legend in European football - the legend of the old lieutenant!

Edda came out of her thoughts. 10，9。。。 3，2，1。

He glanced up at the referee and thought to himself: the three minutes of stoppage time had arrived. Why didn't this damn referee blow the final whistle yet.

Finally, the referee raised his whistle.

"Toot ~" The game is over!

Coventry won the Championship promotion play-off final and are back in the Premier League after 23 years!
