Inside the Coventry dressing room. George Sr. said to the players: "I said everything I needed to say yesterday. May the Lord bless you all and play! ”

Players from both sides enter and the game begins!

Although Sheffield United's strength is higher than Coventry's, they did not support the big one, and all the main players appeared. Sheffield United manager Warnock is a very cautious man. He is well aware that this kind of single-game knockout game is too easy to cause upsets. He also took a closer look at the footage of Coventry's last two games. He is well aware that Coventry have a strong attacking line. So he repeatedly reminded the team's defenders not to underestimate the enemy.

Sheffield United are superior after all. In the opening 10 minutes, there were three dangerous shots on goal. Coventry's young goalkeeper Ruan was outstanding, keeping the goal high and low.

In the first 10 minutes, Coventry had just over 30 per cent of the possession. It can be said that at the beginning, Coventry was pressed and beaten by Sheffield United.

Fat Bob explained: "If the game goes on at this pace, it will be a matter of time before Coventry City concedes a goal. ”

Dunphy agreed: "yes. It has to be said that Coventry's young goalkeeper Ruan has a high standard that is not commensurate with his age. But he was neither Yashin nor Karn. If you keep pressing and playing like this, you will lose the ball sooner or later. ”

At this time, Coventry's formation was severely disjointed. Liu Yun and Manla in the front court are like kites with broken strings.

At the back, Alexander led his teammates to defend desperately. Even if Coventry City broke the ball up front, they could only break it out of the vicinity of the penalty area. It will still be Sheffield United who will get possession again.

Liu Yun, as the captain on the field, must act at this time!

Liu Yun shouted at Alexander: "Tactic No. 2!" ”

Tactic No. 2 is a metaphor that means a long pass to the back.

Alexander received instructions from captain Liu Yun and began to consciously play long passes and hang them.

Liu Yun originally calculated that Manla had extremely fast speed. Hitting behind can allow Manla's speed to be used effectively.

However, Liu Yun had no idea how big the difference in the quality of the players was between the two teams in the British professional league that were several levels apart. Manla is a fast horse in League Two. But Sheffield United is an English One team that has already stepped into the Championship with one foot! Their defenders turned around very quickly, and Rao Manla, the fast horse in the Coventry team, had no speed advantage over them!

After a couple of hits, Alexander's long passes were of high quality. However, after Manla started, he was firmly targeted by Sheffield United's defenders, and there was no chance to break through at all!

'Coventry City striker Manla is a speedy player in League Two. Compared to the players of Sheffield United, they immediately became players with average speed! Fat Bob explained.

Deng Fei said: "After all, it is a team that is several levels behind. Sheffield United are set to finish in the Championship this year. The difference in quality between a League Two team and a quasi-Championship team is still significant. ”

In the 25th minute of the first half, Sheffield United's indiscriminate bombardment finally came to fruition. The Sheffield United winger breaks down the flank and smashes diagonally into the box. From a 45-degree angle at the edge of the box, a long-range shot cut through the 10 fingers of Coventry goalkeeper Ruan.

1：0！ In the 25th minute of the game, Sheffield United led Coventry by 1 goal! This seems to be the result that the world expected.

Whether it's Fat Bob or Big Mouth Dunphy; Whether it's Sheffield United's manager Warnock or a group of Sheffield United players. They all thought that after knocking on the door of Coventry, Sheffield United would take advantage of the victory and extend the score again!

The whole world thinks Sheffield United will win!

The bearded Alexander wiped his sweat and shook his head in frustration.

A number of Coventry players are also depressed. Finally...... Still didn't hold on.

The morale of the Coventry team hit rock bottom.

At this time, St Andrew's Stadium suddenly remembered the loud "Forward Coventry"! It was a chorus of more than 12,000 Coventry fans and more than 6,000 overseas Chinese fans.

"It's a long, long road when you go through life. Through the disaster, we will continue to move forward. Children in this sky blue dress, keep going! Coventry! ”

Mrs. Hudson and her son, Alger's family, were also in the stands. They sang the Coventry anthem along with the fans. Mrs. Hudson, who was in her late teens, sang even more hoarsely.

There was no sound from the stands where Sheffield United fans were. In their opinion, Coventry is the underdog. Always give the weak a few minutes to vent.

Liu Yun, as the captain of the field, gathered a group of players together before the midfield restarted. They stood shoulder to shoulder in a circle.

Liu Yun pointed to the sky: "Listen, did you hear it?" That's the voice of the city of Coventry! For the sake of Coventry, for the sake of the people of Coventry, we can't afford to lose! ”

Liu Yun also said: "I am not a Christian, but now I want to lead you in prayer. ”

Liu Yun imitated Mrs. Hudson's tone and said, "Thank my Lord for giving me an unconquerable soul. I am the commander of my soul, I am the master of my destiny. Amen! ”

The players prayed in unison to Liu Yun: "Thank you to my Lord for giving me an unconquerable soul." I am the commander of my soul, I am the master of my destiny. Amen! ”

"Onward, Coventry!"

"Forward, forward, forward!"

The morale of the players in Coventry was once again mobilized by Liu Yun. At such a critical moment, if you lose your morale, the team will become a lamb to the slaughter!

After the restart, the situation on the pitch was still one-sided. However, the Coventry City players played with 12 points and defended with all their might. In the 35th minute, Liu Yun got a chance to get the ball.

Alexander instigated a counter-attack and stuffed the ball straight to Liu Yun. After receiving the ball, Liu Yun saw the gap on the right side of the front court. Manla also saw the gap and started to run to the right.

Liu Yun was about to pass the ball to Manla, but the Sheffield United No. 12 defender next to him suddenly made a small movement and threw his elbow directly on Liu Yun's lower abdomen. Liu Yun suffered this black elbow, immediately lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

At this time, the referee happened to be blocked by the other players. It can be said that this small action of Sheffield United's No.12 is a malicious foul. The reason why he has such courage is because he sees the referee's line of sight blocked!

Alexander saw it all. Unlike before, he did not rush forward to stand up for Liu Yun.

In the 38th minute, Sheffield United's No. 12 who elbowed Liu Yun took the ball, and Alexander defended head-on and kicked the ball directly. After the ball was kicked away, Alexander didn't retract his foot and slammed a hard kick into the thigh of the Sheffield United no.12.

"Toot!" The referee's whistle sounded. Yellow! Alexander, who was booked for a dangerous move that raised his foot too high.

Alexander walked over to the Sheffield United number 12 who was rolling on the ground in pain. Alexander had an eerie smile on his face. He reached out towards Sheffield United 12 and pulled him up.

Sheffield United 12 has reached out in its hand. Alexander lowered his voice and said viciously: "Boy, if you dare to make any small moves against our No. 7 captain again, I swear to God that your career will be ruined!" Do you believe it or not? ”

This is naked intimidation!

Sheffield United's No.12 was stunned for a moment. The No.12 was only 22 years old and was completely intimidated by Alexander, a villain on the pitch in his 30s.

After saying this, Alexander ran back to his own half of the field and shouted: "Come on! Keep on the defensive! ”
