Autumn has quietly arrived.

In a golden autumn, Coventry City won 1-0 at home to Tottenham; Draw 1-1 away at Manchester City; 2-0 win at home to Leicester City; Away 2:1 Huddersfield United!

Before the start of the season, the media predicted that the devil's schedule of the first eight rounds went down, and Coventry, the "weakest" team in the Premier League, was likely to not get a single point.

After the first eight rounds, people suddenly found that Coventry had 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in eight games, accumulating 17 points, and had reached the fourth place in the league!

You must know that this youth army, with an average age of more than 20s, has opponents in the first eight rounds of the Premier League, which happened to be the top eight in the Premier League last season! Such a fourth place in the standings, the gold content is simply 24K!

What's even more surprising is that Liu Yun, a fifty-year-old old lieutenant, scored 9 goals in eight games, with an average of more than 1 goal per game! On the scorer list, he and his son-in-law Qu Bai and Liverpool's striker Halilovic are tied for first place!

The Daily Mail exclaimed: Time is so merciful to the old lieutenant! It's as if he's forever young, always the goal-scoring machine that makes any opponent fearful! You know, his current team-mates aren't any Manchester United superstars – just kids! It is this group of children, under the leadership of the old lieutenant, who have become the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season!

After eight rounds, the standings are up. Manchester United won 7 of 8 games and drew 1, accumulating 22 points and firmly occupying the top spot. Chelsea have won seven and lost one of their eight games and are second with 21 points. Manchester City has 8 games, 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and is third with 19 points. Coventry City has 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and is fourth with 17 points. Liverpool have 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and are fifth with 15 points. Huddersfield United also have 15 points and are sixth on goal difference.

Media commentary: With the retirement of time, the situation in the Premier League this season has become clear.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City will be the first group to compete for the title. They will be the three most likely teams to win the league.

Group 2, Coventry, Liverpool, Huddersfield Town will fight for a Champions League spot.

The third group is Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, Leeds United, Newcastle United. These five teams will be battling it out for League Cup qualification.

The fourth group is the relegation group. Burnley, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Bournemouth, Brighton, Southampton, Stoke City, Queens Park Rangers. Barring no surprises, the relegated teams will be drawn from these nine teams.

Liu Yun was unimpressed by the media's predictions. He tweeted a shocking rhetoric:

"With 30 rounds left in the league, how does it seem that the fate of each team has already been decided by the media?

Why can Coventry fight for a Champions League spot?

They are only five points away from the first Manchester United. Why can't Coventry compete for the title?

Who says a bunch of kids can't win a Premier League? Didn't Sir Alex Ferguson do it in 1999?

Who says the weak don't have the right to chase their dreams?

Coventry has one goal for this season: to win the league at the last time!

Yes, it wasn't the madman Mourinho who said this, it was me, the old lieutenant Liu Yun! ”

As soon as Liu Yun's words came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

The Sun commented: The old lieutenant should have been carried away by five victories in the first eight rounds. Coventry's performance this season has been a sight to behold. But when it comes to competing for the championship, they still lack the strength. The league has a full 10 months. Young people's performance often fluctuates. Achieving something in one and a half months doesn't mean you'll be able to do well throughout the season. League titles – for Coventry City don't exist!

The Times commented that the young Coventry should have a step-by-step plan: for example, to secure qualification for the UEFA Cup in their first season and qualify for the Champions League. Qualification for the Champions Cup is guaranteed in the second and third seasons. In the fourth and fifth seasons, he won the Premier League. Five years later, the children of Coventry are already in their prime. After five years of Premier League grinding, their experience and form should be at their best. That's when the league title is at its best.

Liu Yun borrowed the words of a great man to counter the "five-year plan" imposed on Coventry by The Times: 10,000 years is too long, seize the day!

Old friend Jose Mourinho stood up for the old lieutenant in an interview with SKY TV: "The old lieutenant said Coventry is going to fight for the league title. This is the biggest challenge for Manchester United! I accept his challenge! He is an opponent who deserves anyone's respect. We don't take him and his team lightly. Because all those who despise the old lieutenant will eventually swallow the bitter fruit! The old lieutenant was right, the weak have the same right to chase their dreams. ”

Unlike the media. The words of the old lieutenant were seen by ordinary Britons as a declaration for the weak to chase their dreams.

Ricoh Arena conference room.

On the big screen, there are 30 rounds left in Coventry.

Liu Yun stood in front of the screen and said to the young people: "I discussed it with Coach Eda last night. There's a long way to go in the race for the league title. We will divide the remaining thirty rounds into ten phases. Set a small goal for each stage. Rounds 9 to 11 are the first stages. We will host Burnley, Watford away and then West Ham at home. ”

The slides on the big screen were changed to the next one, which read: Coventry vs Burnley, Watford vs Coventry, Coventry vs West Ham United.

Liu Yun continued: "Our small goal in these three rounds is to score 7 points! In other words, against 14th-placed Burnley, 18th-placed Watford, bottom-placed West Ham United, we can only tolerate a draw at most! ”

Zhao Kaixuan said: "Big guy, I think this goal is feasible!" Watford and West Ham United are relegation teams and winning against them shouldn't be much of a problem. As for Burnley, they are only in the middle of the table. As long as we play normally, we should be able to get three points. ”

Liu Yun continued: "Hmm. Since it is the goal, if it is not achieved, there must be a punishment! If none of the milestones are met, all the next phase of leave will be cancelled! ”

The Coventry team, with the exception of 50-year-old Liu Yun and 26-year-old Manla, are all young people in their early 20s. Who doesn't love to play? The Brazilian twin brothers, Bebeto and Garrincha, came to the UK and became obsessed with sea fishing; Zhao Kaixuan and Li Fanghua are lovers of the glory of Wang Ba. The two often participate in online competitions; Daywind likes to watch racing; Goalkeeper Billy is a playboy in the team, often changing girlfriends, and has to date a large number of girlfriends...

At the mention of the cancellation of the vacation, all the young people immediately frowned.

Head coach Edda said: "Football is a sport that makes people happy. The old lieutenant and I didn't mean to let you be any ascetics! On the contrary, I will give you an extra two days off at each stage if the goal is achieved. ”

Europe's biggest teams always motivate their players with huge winning prizes.

Coventry is just a small club with a membership system, and it doesn't have much money to set up winning prizes and goal awards. Liu Yun and Eda can only use the extra vacation to cheer up the young people.

"What if we accomplish the big goal? For example, accidentally won the Premier League title! Bai Rifeng asked.

Manager Edda replied: "If we can win the Premier League title 'by accident' – then you leave the team, Mr. Paper!" Because Coventry doesn't need players who talk about it, they need doers! ”

Edda's humorous answer drew laughter from the young crowd.

Eda suddenly showed a video to everyone.

This video is not a competition video, but "Britain's Got Talent".

A six-year-old Lori walked onto the stage.

Host Holden asked Lori, "What's your name?" ”

Little Lori replied, "I, my name is Serol." ”

Serol's two front teeth had just been shed, and they were very cute.

Host Holden asked again, "What are you going to show us?" ”

SERROL REPLIED, "I, I'M GOING TO SING ENYA'S "HO CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING" (HOW COULD I NOT SING ALOUD. ）

Holden asked Scherol, "Why are you singing this song?" ”

"Because I, I," replied, "I'm going to sing this song to the old lieutenant in Coventry." ”

Judge Simon Cowell asked: "So, you're a Coventry fan?" ”

Therol shook his head: "I, my dad and mom and I are Chelsea fans. ”

Cowell laughed and said: 'As far as I know, Coventry City won 1-0 against Chelsea a month ago. Why are you singing for enemy players? ”

"The old lieutenant is not an enemy!" My mom and dad said he was a legend. He made people understand that the weak can also chase their dreams! ”

Judge Holden asked, "What is your dream, Scherol?" ”

"My dream is to become a singer!" ”

The singing begins.

As soon as Serrol spoke, it seemed to be a heavenly voice:

"My life has been spent in the endless sorrows of the earth,

I hear the hymn of praise earnestly,

Calling for a new world,

Although the singing is so far away.

Through all that noise and squabbles,

I heard the music play,

It's like an echo in my head,

How can I not sing aloud?

While the storm is still raging,

I hear the truth, and it has always existed.

Though darkness covers me,

The song sounded in the night.

No matter how the storm hits the rock I clung to,

None of them can shake the peace of my mind.

For love is the master of heaven and earth,

How can I not sing aloud?

When the tyrant hears the death knell ringing,

Fear trembles,

When friends rejoice near and far,

How can I not sing aloud?

In the secret rooms of prisons and terrible dungeons,

Our minds will still be flying high.

When the shame of friends is washed away,

How can I not sing aloud? ”

Scherol's natural children's voice seems to let people enter an ethereal musical world. In the song, people seem to see those who are brave enough to chase their dreams.

The audience remembered the old lieutenant, the man who stood bravely on the field at the age of fifty, chasing the championship trophy.

Eda closed the video.

He told his disciples, "A 6-year-old child can be brave enough to chase his dreams. We – the children of Coventry as they are called by the media! But we're not kids anymore, we're adults! We should fight like adults! ”

"Onward, Coventry!"

"Onward, Coventry!"

————————

A week later, the ninth round of the Premier League. Ricoh Stadium, Coventry City vs Burnley!

Burnley FC, founded in 1882, is a founding member of the English Football League. One of the giants of English football in the 20s of the 20th century, two English top flight champions and one FA Cup winner.

Chinese people always say that 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. For football clubs in the UK, it is a hundred years to the east of the river and a hundred years to the west of the river.

Today's Burnley of the Purple Army has become a weak brigade that has been relegated every year. In the first eight rounds of the season, they won 2, drew 3 and lost 3, and finished 14th with 9 points, which has satisfied their fans.

No one could have imagined that today's game would turn into a real massacre!

Coventry opened the scoring just six minutes after a header from Tamanla! 1：0！ Coventry got off to a fantastic start!

In the 28th minute, the old lieutenant Liu Yun shook three Burnley defenders in a row at the front of the penalty area, and after entering the penalty area, he shot through the door of Burnley! 2：0！

In the 43rd minute, Bai Rifeng received a wonderful pass from the old lieutenant and burst into the penalty area, fell to the ground and stabbed the net, 3:0!

The Sky Blue fans at Ricoh Stadium are boiling!

This is the first time Coventry have scored three goals in a game since returning to the Premier League!

Fans didn't expect that today Coventry would not only score three goals in a single game for the first time, but also 。。。。。

In the second half, the boys in Coventry went crazy! Their attacks were like a tidal wave.

In the 57th minute, full-back Papa assisted the ball to the front, and on the flank, he formed a breakthrough and crossed the bottom. Central defender Li Fanghua has been inserted into the penalty area at this time! He leaps high and heads into the net! 4：0！

By this time, Burnley's morale had completely collapsed.

In the 65th minute, Coventry won a free kick 25 metres from goal. The old lieutenant Liu Yun took the penalty and hit a full moon scimitar. The ball goes straight to the top left corner of the Burnley goal! The ball is in! 5：0！

Burnley manager David Moyes smashed his water bottle to the ground in anger.

The Holocaust is not over yet!

In the 88th minute, the old lieutenant Liu Yun fired a cannon at the front of the penalty area and hit a powerful world wave! The ball is in! Hat-trick! 6：0！

The big-mouthed Dunphy Jelly in the commentary table shouted: "Hat-trick!" Two years later, we saw the old lieutenant score a hat-trick in the Premier League again! The children in Coventry had an impeccable performance today! A 6-0 sweep of Burnley is a declaration! It tells everybody: Coventry has only one goal for the season – and that is to win the title at the end! Go ahead, Youth Coventry! People have dubbed the 'Coventry Miracle' when League Two side Coventry City won the FA Cup five years ago, and now we expect Coventry to perform the 'Coventry Miracle' in the Premier League! ”
