Chapter 115: The Runaway English Lady
The blue flow of people finally converged in front of Ricoh Stadium. The surroundings of Ricoh Stadium are simply a sea of blue. The Coventry fans sang "Forward, Coventry" to the blast.
Liu Yun felt so small in the crowd. It's like a drop of water in the blue ocean.
In China, it is impossible to imagine that a small city with a population of only 300,000 can have such a football atmosphere. It is even more inconceivable that the people of a city are so enthusiastic about the teams of the fourth division.
Even an old English lady of Mrs. Hudson's age was enthusiastic. What a magic football is here.
In the blue ocean, a yellow stream of people gradually mixed in. There are not many people in this stream, only one or two thousand. The yellow striped jerseys on their bodies indicate that they are fans of the away team.
The yellow flow of people seemed to be quite in harmony with the blue ocean, and the two sides were automatically separated by a distance of thirty meters.
Then, another surprising scene happened to Liu Yun and Zhang Li.
Both sides began to sing songs insulting each other's teams. British fans scold people, never by saying, but by singing.
"Coventry is a group of dogs~mothers~ raised. All the players have suffered from seven years of itching yin ~ lice ~ disease ~! Old George's dad washes the ass of the big stupid elephant, and his mother is a woman who has lost her footing~" The Oxford fans sang the unbearable swear words in a rhythmic tune.
"Oxford United is on the field, they are on the field to eat ~! yellow players eat yellow! Oxford United, they lose every week, Oxford United, they lose every week! Coventry's side was reluctant to show weakness and responded with a swear song.
When Zhang Li translated the lyrics to Liu Yun, Liu Yun was surprised. Originally, he thought that the fans of the two teams were singing songs to cheer for his team. Where did I think the lyrics were so - sharp.
Alger, an English gentleman who was teaching his youngest son to be polite to his guests a few hours ago, Mrs. Hudson, who was kind and amiable a few hours ago, Gloria, who was dignified and sexy a few hours ago, Luke, who was shy a few hours ago, and little Manny, who was clever and cute a few hours ago, all seem to be different people at this moment. They gritted their teeth and sang swear words insulting Oxford.
The old woman, Mrs. Hudson, sang even more hoarsely: "Oxford United is a bunch of shit, and they eat shit every week." Eat, Oxford United, eat, Oxford United! Their mom washes the orangutan JJ, *** the monkey soothes their mom. Eat, Oxford United, eat, Oxford United. ”
Liu Yun was secretly shocked in his heart, didn't he say that Britain is all gentlemen and ladies? I really didn't expect that as soon as I arrived outside the stadium, they all became open-mouthed shrews scolding the streets.
Zhang Li seemed to see Liu Yun's doubts, and he said to Liu Yun: "Don't be surprised. Isn't it said that in the UK, football is a gentleman's sport of hooligans, and rugby is a gentleman's sport of hooligans? The Englishman is usually too suave and can only vent when watching football on the weekend. For them, maybe football is not just a belief, it's a way of life. ”
Liu Yun pondered carefully, and Zhang Li's words were reasonable.
Liu Yun was watching the fans of the two teams scolding each other, but saw Mrs. Hudson and her daughter-in-law Gloria walk into the TESCO supermarket next to the stadium. TESCO supermarket is a well-known affordable supermarket in the United Kingdom, and the chain is spread throughout the United Kingdom.
A short time later, Mrs. Hudson and Gloria walked out of the supermarket carrying a bag of tomatoes. Many of their Coventry fans also bought piles of tomatoes from the TESCO supermarket.
Mrs. Hudson distributed tomatoes to her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, Liu Yun and Zhang Li.
Liu Yun thought that this was the custom of the British, and they had to eat tomatoes before watching the ball? Then follow the local customs, and as soon as he put the tomato to his mouth, Mrs. Hudson stopped him. Alger, his wife, and son looked at Liu Yun and laughed.
Mrs. Hudson said, "Son, this tomato is not for you!" It's a Coventry kiss for Oxforders! ”
Liu Yun didn't know what a "Coventry kiss" was.
Alvin turned and threw the tomatoes like a grenade at the Oxford fans. Mrs. Hudson, Gloria, Luke and Manny threw "Coventry kisses" at the Oxford United fans one after another.
Zhang Li smiled at Liu Yun: "It seems that we can only follow the customs." ”
After speaking, Zhang Li also threw tomatoes. Liu Yun followed closely behind and also threw out the tomatoes.
Alger's youngest son, Luke, was only seven or eight years old, and after he threw the tomatoes, he solemnly stretched out his middle finger to the Oxford United, and he shouted in a childish voice: "Taste the kiss of Coventry, Oxford stupid donkey!" ”
The Oxford United fans were attacked by a burst of tomatoes from the Blues and immediately organized a counter-attack. Each of them carried two eggs with them, and the eggs flew towards the blue camp.
Oxford United fans shouted: "This is greetings from Oxford!" Enjoy, Coventry! ”
Liu Yun unfortunately hit the "egg", an egg was impartial and hit his shoulder.
Alger laughed: "Liu, your luck is too good. Getting hit in the shoulder by an enemy weapon will bring good luck! ”
Liu Yun thought to himself, just now the fans of the two teams insulted each other with such unbearable language, and now they are adding up eggs, and a large-scale brawl will definitely break out next.
Who would have thought that after the "Coventry Kiss" and "Greetings from Oxford" ended, the fans of the two teams were like people who had nothing to do and did their own things.
Outside the stadium are countless open-air coffee shops with countless small round tables and parasols.
Coventry fans and Oxford fans, who were in the same situation just now, went to the open-air coffee shop to order beer, coffee, and cupcakes and wait for the stadium to open. There were even some Oxford and Coventry fans who sat at the same table and drank beer and coffee.
Mrs. Hudson's family, Liu Yun and Zhang Li also found a table to sit down.
Liu Yun asked Mrs. Hudson with some doubts: "Old man, the fans of the two teams were almost about to fight just now, why。。。。。 “
Mrs. Hudson smiled as her son, Alger, explained, "Liu, this is our football tradition. ”
Liu Yun was a little surprised: "I thought there would be a fight." ”
Alger took a sip of black coffee and smiled, "No." Brawls have always only happened after the game, not before the game. And this game is not a battle of mortal enemies. Large-scale brawls occur only after the battle of the mortal enemy. ”
Liu Yun asked curiously: "What is the battle of the mortal enemy?" ”
Alger replied: "Every English team has one or several of its own rivals. For example, Manchester United's sworn enemies are Liverpool and Leeds United. Chelsea's sworn enemies are Fulham. Tottenham's sworn enemy is Charlton Athletic. ”
Liu Yun nodded: "Is that the relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid?" ”
Alger nodded.
Liu Yun asked: "Then who is Coventry's sworn enemy?" ”
Little Manny was drinking a glass of milk, white milk staining his lips. Little Manny said, "Of course it's a Portsmouth mongrel!" ”
Mrs. Hudson wiped the milk from her lips for her little grandson: "That's right, Coventry's sworn enemy is Portsmouth." For as long as I can remember, Coventry's sworn enemy has been Portsmouth. ”
Liu Yun sighed: "So, the grievances between the two teams have lasted for more than half a century? ”
Alger replied: "Now Portsmouth is at the top of this year's list. We will host them in two rounds. I'm not going to let my mother, my wife, and little Manny come to the pitch when the time comes. It is estimated that there will be a brawl after the game. Only adult men were allowed to watch the battle of the mortal enemy, and women and children were not allowed to enter. ”
Alger's eldest son, Luke, asked his father, "Can I watch the battle of the enemy this year?" ”
Although Luke was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he was born a tall man and a strong man.
Alger looked at his son and replied, "Okay." You've grown up, and I've allowed you to come with me at Ricoh Arena this year against the Portsmouth mongrels. ”
Liu Yun sighed in his heart, this British football culture is really interesting.
