Saturday afternoon, Birmingham, St Andrew's Stadium.

St Andrew's Stadium is located about 1.5 miles from Birmingham city centre, between factories, railways and residential areas. The stadium seats 30,000.

At this time, outside the St. Andrew's Stadium, a large number of fans had gathered. Tens of thousands of people outside the stadium were colour-coded, one group of Coventry City fans wearing sky blue jerseys, and the other group of Sheffield United fans wearing red and white striped shirts.

In addition to blue, red, and white, there is also a special color - yellow! There were about five or six thousand yellow-skinned Chinese outside the stadium!

These people are local overseas Chinese and Chinese students in the UK. It has to be said that the Chinese have a certain influence in the UK. Those who can immigrate basically have a certain amount of financial resources. Neutral stadium fans own 20 percent of the tickets for this game, about 6,000 or so. The Overseas Chinese Association in London actually spent a huge amount of money to buy all the more than 6,000 tickets. It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and it seems that this principle is not only applicable to China, but also to the United Kingdom.

Overseas Chinese and international students all wore Coventry's sky-blue jerseys. They made a special trip from various cities in Britain to Birmingham to cheer for Liu Yun.

The team bus slowly drove outside St Andrew's Stadium. Liu Yun opened the car window, wanting to breathe. Suddenly, a familiar song reached his ears.

"There is a river in the far east, and his name is the Yangtze River. There was a river in the far east, and his name was the Yellow River. There was a dragon in the ancient East, and his name was Huaguo. There was a group of people in the ancient East, and they were all descendants of dragons. I grew up at the feet of the dragon, and when I grew up, I was the descendant of the dragon. Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin. Forever and ever, the descendants of the dragon。。。。。。。 ”

Liu Yun was puzzled for a while. Isn't this Zhang Mingmin's "Descendants of the Dragon"? How could it be outside St Andrew's Stadium?

Liu Yun's eyes moved out of the car window, and he saw a scene that moved him.

Countless gray-haired old overseas Chinese, countless young Chinese students, are singing "Descendants of the Dragon" outside the St. Andrew's Stadium!

The Chinese compatriots saw Liu Yun in the bus, and they shouted excitedly: "Liu Yun! Come on! Come on, Liu Yun! ”

At this moment, Liu Yun felt that he had not gone far to a foreign country。。。。。。 Familiar Chinese, familiar skin color。。。。。。

Liu Yun poked his head out of the car window and waved to his compatriots.

Alexander and his teammates next to him said, "Look, the old lieutenant is a real star now. ”

The elder George, who was sitting in the front row, ordered the bus to stop so that Liu Yun could get up close and personal with his compatriots.

An old overseas Chinese with white hair walked to the bus with a pair of Chinese knots. Several young and strong students lifted him up so that he could give the pair of Huaguo knots to Liu Yun.

"Liu Yun, Hou Shengzai, you are the pride of our Chinese people! Our compatriots in the UK have your back! The old overseas Chinese handed Liu Yun the Chinese knot with both hands.

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Yun was so moved that he couldn't say anything else, only the words thank you in his mouth.

The young international students sang the band's "Sea and Sky": "Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifted away with a cool heart, chased in the wind and rain, couldn't distinguish the shadow in the fog, the sky was wide and you and me。。。。。。 ”

The Coventry fans around the overseas Chinese couldn't help but applaud.

Liu Yun returned to the green field at the age of 45 with extraordinary courage and perseverance, and has become an inspirational idol for most Chinese youth.

There are three things in this world that can make people strong and live strongly. One is hope, one is freedom, and the other is dreams.

The Chinese people saw these three things from Liu Yun, so they regarded him as an inspirational model.

Old George looked at his watch and motioned for the driver to drive.

The bus slowly pulls into St Andrew's Stadium. Those lovely Chinese compatriots shouted behind the car: "Come on!" Liu Yun! Come on! Liu Yun! ”

A few hours later, St Andrew's Stadium was packed. 12,000 Coventry City fans, 12,000 Sheffield United fans, and more than 6,000 Chinese expatriates turned St Andrew's Stadium into a sea of blue, red, white and yellow.

Sheffield United fans didn't swear at the Coventry City fans. This is because in their opinion, Coventry is not an opponent at all! For the weak, it is still necessary to respect. They just sang Sheffield United's anthem aloud.

With 15 minutes to go before the start of the game, the mascots of both teams entered the stadium to liven up the atmosphere.

Sheffield United's mascot is a cartoon pirate. Coventry sent in baby blue elephants and flying pigs.

Seeing the cute pig with wings on its body, the people of Coventry smiled knowingly. You must know that the old lieutenant of Coventry Liu Yun said that "as long as you stand in the wind, pigs can fly into the sky", this sentence has become a mantra for Coventry fans.

The match was broadcast live on SKY TV in the UK. The game commentary is that Coventry and Liu Yun's old friends - Fat Bob and Big Mouth Dunphy.

'The FA Cup second round of Coventry City vs Sheffield United is just around the corner. I'm Bob. ”

"I'm Dunphy."

"Dunphy, this game can be said to be a game with a huge disparity in strength, I don't know what your predictions are?"

Deng Fei laughed dryly: "Prediction? With the old lieutenant starting, I don't dare to predict the outcome. Lest I kiss your big ass again. ”

Fat Bob laughed and said: "Everybody thinks Sheffield United will win easily. Isn't that your point of view? ”

Deng Fei commented on Liu Yun's game last time, suffered a loss, gnawed on Fat Bob's buttocks, and became a lot more cautious: "In terms of strength, it is indeed one-sided." However, there have been many FA Cup upsets. For example, in the 09-10 season, Manchester United was eliminated by League One team Leeds United. Another example is the 92 season, Arsenal lost 1-2 to Wrykeham, a team in League Two. If the final whistle doesn't blow on the football field, anything is possible. ”

Fat Bob continued: "I just got the starting line-up for this game against Coventry. The lineup turned out to be 4411. The 4411 is the formation that Coventry has been using in recent games. Forward Tieta Manla, Shadow Striker Old Lieutenant Liu. Coventry City manager George Sr. is still using his usual line-up. Originally, I thought Coventry would have a 541 or 451 defensive counter-attacking formation. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "I believe that old George must want to fight and challenge the leader of the English League." With the old lieutenant as a demon, the final outcome of the game is really hard to predict. ”

Fat Bob teased: "Dunphy, don't you suspect that the old lieutenant has taken stimulants?" ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy is quite calm: "Human beings will always have a fear and disgust attitude towards things they don't understand. After I watched Liu Yun's games, I love him very much now. The Chinese veteran has a spirit comparable to that of Matthews on the court. I believe that this game will definitely make our eyes shine as well. ”
