Chapter 248: The Coventry Parade

After breakfast at the hotel, the Coventry City players and their families boarded the team bus.

The team bus drove to the city boundary on Highway 3 in Coventry, where the Coventry Police Department dispatched a full 20 police vehicles, led by Commissioner Hook himself, to escort Coventry's city heroes back to the city.

Outside the city, the players and their families were boarded in two floats. Liu Yun, the captain of Coventry, sat in the first row of the float with the FA Cup trophy next to him.

The 20 police cars that had opened the road ahead dispersed and were replaced by six rows of 18 mounted police officers riding tall horses to open the road.

Finally entered the city of Coventry.

As far as the players could see, almost the entire city turned into a sea of sky blue! On both sides of the road stood citizens wearing Coventry sky blue shirts.

As soon as the float entered the city, the players felt thunder!

The sky is high and the clouds are light, where does the thunder come from?

For this parade, the police department in Coventry did their homework. Before the float entered the city, the detectives of the police station called the chief Hook, and roughly counted that there were as many as 250,000 citizens participating in the parade! You know, the population of Coventry is only 300,000 people! That said, almost all the citizens of Coventry donned their sky-blue shirts for this parade.

Coventry jerseys have been sold out throughout the Ricoh Stadium souvenir shop.

The cheers of hundreds of thousands of people were like bursts of thunder. The ears of the players on the float were buzzing.

"Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! ”

The city, which emerged from the ruins of World War II, seems to have only had two marches of this magnitude.

One was in 1945, when the Germans signed the instrument of surrender, and World War II ended.

One was more than 60 years later, when Coventry lifted the FA Cup!

In times of peace, football is a war for the citizens of Coventry!

Everywhere the floats went, Coventry people on both sides of the road cheered and threw petals and streamers at the floats. Behind the float is a road paved with petals and streamers.

Some of the hot Coventry babes even took off their underwear and still headed for the float.

The older Coventry fans had tears in their eyes.

Even those who don't usually watch the game cheered loudly.

Football is a strange sport that gives people hope in life. An English Second team that won all the way to Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Chelsea to lift the FA Cup. It's a miracle!

Since miracles can happen on the football field, there must be miracles in life!

Coventry doesn't know how many elderly parents are educating their children: "Look at the old lieutenant, less than a year ago he was just a cleaner. What about the Coventry team? Halfway through the season, it's just a mid-table team in League Two. But now, they lift the FA Cup. As long as you stick to your dreams, miracles will happen! ”

Liu Yun holds the championship trophy high on the float. He roared: "Hooray, Coventry! ”

His roar was hoarse. It seems that the unsatisfactory and suffering of the first forty years of his life have been left behind by him with a roar.

Coventry fans began chanting Liu Yun's nickname: "Old Lieutenant! Old lieutenant! Old lieutenant! ”

The shouts of the fans resounded through the city of Coventry!

On the float in the back, sat the family members of the Coventry players. Isabella was not a fan and was blown away by the enthusiasm of the Coventry City fans.

Liu Xiaoyan, the quirky girl, poked her head in front of Isabella: "Aunt Isabella." My dad is a hero now! You have to keep a good watch on him. My mom passed away when I was born. I definitely wouldn't mind being able to call you mom one day. ”

Isabella hugged Liu Xiaoyan and kissed her: "I'll watch him out, baby." ”

On both sides of the road, Coventry police officers are maintaining order. In fact, these police officers are not worried about any mess now.

You know, Coventry is a city that only supports one team.

Coventry is not London. The London Premier League Seven, where people in one city support seven different teams. In previous years, there have been football hooligan riots in the Chelsea championship parade.

The policemen saluted the float. They are Coventry police officers, and they are Coventry natives! Native Coventry fans!

A small plane flew over the city, with an oversized banner hanging underneath the plane. The banner was "Flying Pigs".

Seeing the banner, the people of Coventry cheered again!

As long as you stand in the wind, pigs can also fly into the sky! Even in the face of the cold eyes and ridicule of others, a pig with a dream of flying will one day be able to soar in the sky!

"There was a big fat pig named Shute who stood on the haystack every day. Oh, he wants to fly into the sky. Oh, he wants to fly into the sky. Everyone else laughed at him, he just stared at the sky. Until one day, a strong wind blew on the farm. Oh, big fat pig Shute, he was blown up by the wind. Oh, big fat pig Shute, he embraced the sky! He embraced the sky! ”

The song of "Pigs Flying to the Sky" echoed over the city of Coventry.

The float had to stop halfway through the city.

The flowers, petals, and streamers that hundreds of thousands of people threw onto the floats were already over the players' thighs. After a while, I'm afraid the players will be buried alive with flowers. Even the driver of the float was afraid that the flowers would collapse the roof of his car.

It took a while to clean up the flowers, petals, and streamers on the roof of the car before the float continued on the road.

Floats slowly drive through the city.

Liu Yun casually glanced towards the crowd. Maybe it's really fate. Liu Yun actually saw the old Major Franco on crutches in the azure sea on the side of the road!

"Look, Old Major Franco, that's the old Major Franco I often mention! The guy who gave me the lottery ticket! Liu Yun shouted to his teammates.

The bus stopped again, and Liu Yun and Alexander stepped out of the bus and helped the old Major Franco to the bus.

Major Franco Sr., a veteran of World War II, was ninety-two years old. He slumped over to the roof of the car. Liu Yun was also a soldier before, and he stood upright and saluted the old Major Franco.

What the Coventry team brings to Coventry City fans is hope for life.

More than 60 years ago, countless warriors like Major Franco Sr. brought peace to people all over the world!

There are countless warriors like Franco Sr. in Britain, the United States, and China.

Such a person deserves respect.

Old Franco said to Liu Yun: "How about it, am I right?" There are always miracles happening in this world! ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes." You were a witness to miracles sixty years ago. Sixty years later, he was a witness to a miracle. ”
