Old George habitually picked up a cigar and sniffed it in front of his nose.

"I know that the win over Nottingham Forest, the 10-game winning streak, gives you a lot of confidence. Yes, our team's recent performances have been impressive. But we can't afford to underestimate the enemy. Liu is right, Nottingham Forest are underdogs in the Championship, but they are better than us in terms of strength. ”

George Sr. put away his cigar and continued: "There was once a great man in Liu's motherland, and he said something that I admire very much, which is called despising the enemy strategically and valuing the enemy tactically. ”

The naïve Manla was a little confused when she heard this: "Oh, oh, Coach George, what you said makes so much sense. But I don't understand! ”

The crowd of players burst into laughter。。。。。。。

Liu Yun patiently explained the meaning of this sentence to Manla.

The FA seems to have pumped the wind and set the neutral match between Coventry City and Nottingham Forest at Fraton Park, the home of Portsmouth.

You must know that Portsmouth is Coventry's sworn enemy of the century! Set up a neutral stadium there, say it is neutral, but Portsmouth will support Nottingham Forest one-sidedly!

In other words, Coventry is playing away from home!

George Sr. also called his old friends in the FA to protest about this. His old friends reluctantly said that this was already an established fact, and no one could change it.

Fortunately, tickets for the FA Cup Neutral Stadium are strictly distributed at a ratio of 4:4:2. Coventry City fans get 40 per cent of their tickets.

The FA's decision also made Portsmouth Police Station feel like a formidable enemy. In addition to arranging for most of the police officers to be at the Fratton Park Stadium to maintain security. In addition, the formation unit of the county police department has been seconded to be on standby.

What made Liu Yun feel relieved was that his year-old friend Qu Bai entered Coventry's substitute list again. He came off the bench in the last game and won the approval of George Sr.

Saturday, FA Cup matchday.

Outside the Fraton Park stadium in Portsmouth, fans entered the stadium one after another.

The local Portsmouth fans wore the red jersey of Nottingham Forest. The whole stadium stands are distinctly colored. On one side are 8,000 Sky Blue Expeditionary Force fans, and on the other side are 12,000 Red Jacket fans.

Among the 12,000 Redcoats fans, there were 3,000 or 4,000 local Portsmouth fans. Among them are a lot of local football hooligans who are ready to play with Coventry City fans after the game.

The game is about to begin. Old George told the disciples in the dressing room: "Don't take it lightly! Okay, let's get in. ”

Liu Yun led a group of players into the player tunnel.

Nottingham Forest are a team that is good at playing defensively and counter-attacking. It's not because counter-attacking tactics are their tradition. In the Championship, they are the underdogs and can only use defensive counter-attacking tactics against strong opponents.

Nottingham's captain, Huntington, is 25 years old and is the quintessential speed striker. It's fast, but the technique on the feet is average.

Jim, the main central defender, is 30 years old and 1.75 meters tall. In today's world where tall centre-backs are rampant, he is an outlier in the Championship. He was able to win a regular spot in a group of big men thanks to his extensive experience on the field and his nimble footwork.

Goalkeeper George, the same name as the head coach of the opponent Coventry. George is 23 years old and arguably the number one star in the whole of Nottingham Forest. He came through the Nottingham Forest Academy and is quick to react. Belongs to the kind of young star with a lot of promise. Although Nottingham Forest has a poor record this season, it has rarely lost more than 0:3, and most of the credit for this can be attributed to the excellent young goalkeeper George.

Back "Fierce God" Joel. It seems that every British club has such villains. Joel is no less infamous in the Championship than Alexander is in League Two.

Players from both sides enter and the game begins.

Coventry City took the lead. Liu Yun took the ball, dribbled in the middle, and distributed the ball to Alexander on the wing.

Alexander won the ball and drove straight in.

Alexander was flanked by Nottingham's main centre-back Jim. Jim is very short, but he is one of those small steel cannon type players, with strong muscles and no loss in physical confrontation.

Jim actually leaned on Alexander, who was above him, and then he stuck in his position and broke the ball.

Jim hits Coventry directly behind with a big foot!

Nottingham's captain Huntington picked up the pace and used his pace to eat two Coventry defenders. However, it was fortunate that Coventry's lagging centre-back intercepted the ball in time. If Huntington had worked better, he would have been a lone knife past Coventry's lagging centre-back.

This counterattack scared a kind of player and George Sr. into a cold sweat. The opponent's central defender Jim's long pass at the back was full of power, and the landing point was just right. Jim's speed is also impressive. Almost let the opponent complete a single knife at the beginning.

Liu Yun was keenly aware that his defender was standing too far forward. He motioned to his teammates in the defense line not to press too forward, lest they be easily penetrated by the opponent.

The game continued. In the eighth minute, Huntington used his speed to tear open gaps on the wing and cross across the middle. Nottingham Forest's player who provided the assist goes for the ball in the box. Fortunately, goalkeeper Ruan performed steadily and lifted the ball out of the field with one fist.

Nottingham Forest win a corner!

Centre-back Jim has first-class footwork and has always been the team's number one penalty taker. He walked over to the corner flag and took the corner.

The ball is out and goes straight to the front point!

Huntington jumped, fought for the first landing point, and scored with a header!

Ruan hit the ball with his hand again.

The ball landed in the box. The "fierce god" Joel who inserted the assist shot angrily at the ball!

The ball goes straight to the bottom left corner of the Coventry City goal! Ru'an can't save!

1:0！ In the eighth minute of the game, Nottingham Forest took the lead!

Joel walked up to the corner flagpole and waltzed the corner flagpole with his right hand. The Nottingham fans cheered!

Liu Yun chuckled in his heart: "It seems that Nottingham Forest is really a difficult bone to gnaw!" ”

A win over Nottingham Forest would see Coventry City close to the last 16 of the FA Cup. The Coventry players really want to win this game. But conceding a goal as soon as they came up made their mentality very impatient. They made a lot of mistakes in midfield.

Nottingham Forest manager White watched the situation with ease. He's a luckist. He believes that the mediocre League Two side Coventry have run out of luck by upsetting defending Premier League champions Leicester City in the third round! Nottingham, who are two league levels above them, will surely beat Coventry City in this game!
