Chapter 372: We Are Brothers
The game continued. Coventry's players, led by captain Alexander, played with a twelve-point spirit and defended with all their might. At the end of the first half, they held on to the 0-1 score under Manchester United's tidal wave and did not concede another goal.
Players from both sides return to their dressing rooms. In the tunnel of the players, Liu Yun met Alexander and Manla.
Alexander put his arm on Liu Yun's shoulder: "Hey, the old lieutenant's state is still hot!" Another goal in the first half! β
Liu Yun smiled: "You are not bad." There were at least two beautiful interceptions in the first half! β
Liu Yun glanced at Manla, and sincerely wanted to tease this big foodie: "Hey, Manla, after the game, ask old George for a leave of absence and come to my house to eat dumplings, how about it?" β
After hearing this, Manla's eyes flashed green: "Dumplings! Good! That's great! I'm going to ask old George for leave now! β
Liu Yun's face almost appeared with three black bars: "Manla, Manla, aren't you afraid of going to the hospital with stomach cramps again?" β
Manla said categorically: "Don't be afraid, being able to die because of food is the happiest way to die in our South African opinion!" β
Liu Yun sighed: "Okay. As long as you can take a leave of absence, I will invite you to my house to eat dumplings. β
At half-time, the Sky Blues and Red Devils fans sang the same song "There is only one old lieutenant in the world"!
The song was written for Liu Yun a month ago by a Manchester rapper. It has been sung by Coventry fans and Manchester fans.
"Hey! The 45-year-old old lieutenant is on the field! The sky-blue robe waved in the wind on him! Hey! He's scoring again! The years can't overshadow his talent on the pitch. He won the trophy for Coventry, hey, won the FA Cup! There is only one old lieutenant in the world! Hey, there's only one old lieutenant in the world! β
Hey! The 46-year-old old lieutenant is on the field! The red robe was waving in the wind on him! Hey! He's scoring again! Age can't bury his passion. He's going to win four trophies for Manchester United! Hey, four championship trophies! There is only one old lieutenant in the world! Hey, there's only one old lieutenant in the world! β
Dunphy, the big-mouthed commentator in the commentary seat, was moved to hear the song: "Listen, it's the same voice in the cities of Coventry and Manchester!" There is only one old lieutenant in the world! We always comment that the old lieutenant is Huaguo Matthews, the second Matthews in the Premier League. However, philosophers have said that no two leaves are the same in this world. Now I want to say, Matthews is Matthews, and the old lieutenant is the old lieutenant! The old lieutenant is definitely not the second of so-and-so, but himself! β
Fat Bob said, "That's right, Dunphy. The old lieutenant returned to the green field at the age of 45, with a lot of amazing personality charm! He has extraordinary courage and a strong heart! We all remember that in order to protect his daughter, he fought with armed robbers and then fought for Manchester United with a gunshot wound; We all remember him staring at the goal with blood on his face and eventually sending the ball into the netγγγγγγ This is a pure tough guy! A player worthy of anyone's admiration! β
Manchester United's dressing room.
Jose Mourinho was clearly not happy with the score in the first half. He fired a fire at Juan Mata and Lingard. The two substitutes, in the first half, seemed to be trying to show themselves. There were many good opportunities to pass in seconds from the edge of the penalty area, and they all chose to shoot rashly.
Mourinho's fire is not gray.
The second half of the game begins. In the 55th minute, Juan Mata accelerated to cut inside on the right side of the Coventry penalty area. He didn't choose to shoot in waves, but handed the ball to the feet of the better position of the old lieutenant Liu Yun. Liu Yun pulled his foot on the edge of the small penalty area and shot angrily, the ball went in, 2:0!
After Liu Yun scored the goal, he still didn't make any celebrations.
In the 63rd minute, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata made a one-two on the edge of the penalty area. Jesse Lingard fired a shot into the top right corner of the Coventry goal. The ball is in, 3:0!
Manchester United have all but sealed the win.
Manchester United fans even believe that next, the game will turn into a massacre of the strong against the weak!
Who would have thought that even if they fell behind 0:3, the Coventry team still did not give up.
They ran on the field at all costs, trying their best to defend. Alexander was already running cramps. After a brief off-field treatment, he returned to the field.
Before you know it, the game has reached stoppage time.
In the 92nd minute of the game, the never-give-up Coventry team seized a chance!
After a successful interception in the middle, Alexander directly made a long pass to instigate a counterattack. Manla latched onto Alexander's long ball and tried his best to speed up past Bailly. He unleashed a cold shot from 30 yards out of goal.
Manchester United's Argentinian goalkeeper Sergio Romero leaps high and slotted the ball off the line with a single fist.
Corner kick!
Coventry City won a corner in the final moments of the game!
This game is already a lost game. The players at Coventry City are trying their best to score just one goal for Manchester United. After the referee awarded a corner, all the players in Coventry, including the goalkeeper, entered the Manchester United penalty area!
Manla takes the corner. Alexander jumped high and scrambled to the first point! Shake your head and hit the goal! Romero can't make a save! The ball is in! 1:3οΌ Coventry, a weak team in the English League, broke through the door of the giant Manchester United!
"Yay~~~" The Dream Theater erupted in a sea of cheers.
The cheerers actually included the fans of both Coventry City and Manchester United!
For Manchester United fans, the Coventry people never give up, and the spirit of fighting until the last minute has conquered their hearts.
After Alexander's goal, he motioned for his teammates to celebrate with a dummy challenge.
At this time, a scene that made people laugh happened.
Several players of the Manchester United team, under the leadership of the old lieutenant Liu Yun, took the initiative to join the celebration of the "dummy challenge" of the Coventry team.
Two rival teams on the pitch celebrate a goal together, which has never been seen in the FA Cup's century-long history.
The big-mouthed Dunphy exclaimed: "This moment will be engraved in the history of the FA Cup." This moment proves that in addition to winning and losing, there is also a touching friendship in a football match! β
"Toot ~" The referee blew the whistle, and the game ended. Manchester United beat Coventry City 3-1 to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
After the competition, there was another touching scene at the Dream Theater.
The 11 players on the pitch from Coventry City and the 11 players from Manchester United formed a 22-man wall with each other's shoulders and bowed to the Sky Blue fans and Red Devils fans at the Theatre of Dreams! Standing in the middle of the 22-person bow line were old lieutenants Liu Yun and Alexander. They were like brothers, putting their hands on each other's shoulders.
The Coventry players have earned the respect of a number of Manchester United players with their tenacious style. After bowing and thanking them, the Manchester United players offered to exchange shirts with the Coventry players. 1.
