As soon as the game started, the Coventry team showed their advantage. They were firmly in control of nearly 70 per cent of their possession time. Led by Alexander and Manla, the players launched round after round of attacks towards the Notts County half.

Although the Notts County side is at a disadvantage, they have shown a tenacious will! Even the strikers retreated to their own half to participate in the defense!

Eleven players from Notts County set up a bucket formation in their own penalty area. Possession? Can give you Coventry. You are from thousands of horses, and I will not move.

Liu Yun, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly thought of some kind of amphibian - a tortoise! Notts County's formation at this time is like a sturdy turtle shell.

Breaking down dense defenses has always been a worldwide problem. George Sr. motioned for his players to play more long passes from the wings.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Coventry City have beaten Portsmouth and Doncaster, who are ranked first and second in the league, and the players' confidence has long been bursting. In their opinion, Notts County, which is at the bottom of the table, is nothing more than a fish belly army! They were too eager to take down this belly army. A couple of shots from Manla and Alexander either went over the crossbar or went straight at the heavily defended Notts County players in the opposition box.

Minutes and seconds passed. Coventry is like a sharp knife, facing the iron walnut of Notts County, there is no way to cut it!

The Notts County manager's idea was simple. Even if they can't take a point, it's acceptable to take a point away from Coventry, who are in the limelight. 1 point is sometimes quite valuable for a relegation team!

Throughout the first half, Coventry had a total of 8 shots on goal. And Notts County, let alone shooting, didn't even have a chance to break into Coventry's half!

Coventry's goalkeeper Ruan was probably the most laid-back man of the game.

The first half ended as Manla's long-range shot flew off the line of a Notts County defender.

Beads of sweat broke down on Old George's head. Sometimes the opponent who goes all out to win is not terrible, and the opponent who tries his best to keep the draw is even more troublesome!

People are the whole team to defend in the penalty area, what can you do?

At half-time, George Sr. adjusted his tactics. Replace a defender and bring on the team's backup striker Andy. After some further adjustments, Coventry's formation became 352. He's going all out to step up the attack.

Old George was still reluctant to send Liu Yun on the field. Next week is another FA Cup matchday, with Coventry City facing second-round opponents Sheffield United. George Sr. made this iron-hearted effort to keep Liu Yun recuperating and preparing for next weekend's FA Cup match.

At the kick-off of the second half, Notts County was still in a desperate posture of fighting for one point. At this time, Notts County had no strikers, no midfielders, and it was as if all 10 men had become defenders.

Defend, defend, defend!

The Coventry fans were disgruntled and began to respond with stadium boos.

The children in the orphanage in the box yawned. There was no old lieutenant on the field, and the score was always 0:0, and the children felt that the game was boring.

In the stands, Mrs. Hudson and her son Alger's family were also very anxious. Manny pouted and asked Mrs. Hudson in a milky voice, "When is Old George sending Liu on the field?" ”

Mrs. Hudson patted Manny's little head: "Don't worry, kid, old George will definitely send Liu on the field." ”

Finally, Coventry have a great chance to score!

Alexander broke through to the wing and crossed to find Manla for this. Manla jumps high, header!

The ball flew straight into the top right corner of Notts County. The Notts County goalkeeper couldn't make a save.

However, there is such a saying on the football field. In addition to having the first goalkeeper, the lucky team also has the second goalkeeper crossbar and the third goalkeeper at the goalpost.

In this game, Notts County are clearly the luckier side. Manla's header was bounced off the crossbar by Notts County's second goalkeeper.

Such a good opportunity was not seized, and the players began to be more anxious. The quality of the attack is also getting worse and worse.

Coventry is now gaining momentum in the league, from the fans to the coach George Sr. to the players, no one wants to be held to a draw at home by the bottom-to-bottom team!

However, although the Notts County people are at the bottom of the table, the players have a hard backbone. Everyone played 10,000 points and defended with all their might, keeping the score firmly at 0:0.

The clock was 70 minutes into the game.

Old George, whose face had not changed since the Alps had collapsed, finally could not sit still. He waved his hand at Liu Yunyi on the bench: "Liu, warm up, get ready to play!" ”

1 minute later, Liu Yun stood on the sideline!

This is the first time Liu Yun has worn the No. 7 jersey of the Coventry team to fight on the field!

Originally, Coventry fans were worried. They are afraid that their team will actually be held to a draw by a fish belly team on their home turf. can see the figure of the old lieutenant No. 7 appear on the sideline, and their hearts that were originally fifteen buckets of water for seven up and eight times finally let go!

In the eyes of Coventry people, the old lieutenant Liu Yun is the god of Ricoh Stadium! They firmly believe that the old lieutenant's iron fist will be able to smash this toothy walnut in Notts County!

The ball goes out of the sideline, the ball is dead. Coventry substitutions! Liu Yun is on the field!

The fans cheered enthusiastically. They shouted in unison: "Old lieutenant, old lieutenant, old lieutenant!" ”

Liu Yun entered the court with his head held high!

As soon as Liu Yun came on the field, he organized a beautiful attack.

Alexander took the ball and distributed it to Liu Yun, who was at the edge of the penalty area. As soon as Liu Yun got the ball, two Notts County defenders pounced on him.

Liu Yun is not changing or busy, he moves forward with the ball. On the verge of bumping into two Notts County defenders, he caught the ball with the back of his feet and flicked it high from behind him – a rainbow pass!

The two Notts County defenders were puzzled. At this time, the two of them have firmly stuck Liu Yun's forward position! Rainbow over? The ball can pass, but the person must not pass. What is the point of such a tactical move?

The more than 20,000 Coventry fans at Ricoh Stadium share the same doubts. With Liu Yun's current position, unless he has the superpower of a Marvel hero, with his current position, how can he bypass two defenders and receive the ball thrown from behind him?

Less than half a second later, the doubts of the Notts County players and fans were gone!

Liu Yun's "rainbow pass", it seems that the purpose is to pass people, but it is actually a pass! The ball landed squarely and landed right at the feet of Alexander in the opponent's penalty area! To be more precise, this is a highly concealed "rainbow pass"!

The two defenders in front of Liu Yun focused all their attention on the old lieutenant of the goal machine, but ignored the marking of Alexander!

It's a stroke of genius!

It's too late for the Notts County defenders to defend Alexander! Alexander shoots from inside the box!

It's a pity that Alexander is a great striker, but not a competent striker! His footwork is really average, and the ball was actually hit by him!

Although the goal did not score, the more than 20,000 Sky Blue fans still responded with warm applause. Naturally, the applause was given to the old lieutenant of the Wonderful Herald.

Everyone believed that even if the goal didn't go in, their old lieutenant would always have a way to knock on the door of Notts County!
