Chapter 626: The Favorite to Win the Championship
After a short vacation, the "second phase of small goals" set by Liu Yun and Eda came!
Twelfth round, Crystal Palace vs Coventry. Round 13, Coventry City vs Portsmouth. Round 14, Newcastle United VS Coventry!
Of these three teams, Crystal Palace and Portsmouth are both relegation teams. Only Newcastle United is temporarily in seventh place in the standings, which can be regarded as a strong team.
Liu Yun and Eda set a very clear goal for young people: 6 points! Must win against underdogs Crystal Palace and Portsmouth. As for Newcastle United, just do everything you can to win.
Coventry's dark horse has been exceptionally solid in these three races!
2:0 win over Crystal Palace, 3:1 win over Portsmouth, 1:0 win over Newcastle United!
"The weakest team in the Premier League" actually won eight consecutive league wins!
After 14 rounds, Coventry ranked second in the standings with 35 points! Manchester United, the first place, is only 1 point ahead of Coventry! Manchester City, who is in third place, has a 4-point gap with Coventry!
Recognized as "the weakest team in the Premier League", "relegation team", and "team that is difficult to get points in the first eight rounds" before the start of the season, it is now regarded as the biggest dark horse of the season and a Premier League upstart who may challenge Manchester United's supremacy!
Liu Yun led a group of young people under the age of twenty to complete a gorgeous transformation!
William Hill's Coventry odds have also been changed by actuaries round by round. From a loss of thousands before the first round, to a loss of hundreds, and then to a loss of dozens... Now, Coventry's odds to win the title are 1.28! This shows from one side that Coventry has changed seriously in people - from a recognized relegation difficulty to a favorite to win the championship!
At the league level, Coventry has been making great progress, and in terms of cups, it has also been a success.
In the third round of the FA Cup, Coventry defeated Wolves in the Championship and advanced to the fourth round with their heads held high.
In the League Cup, Coventry defeated Middlesbrough and Aston Villa in succession to advance to the quarterfinals!
It's late autumn and early winter, but Coventry is in the opposite of the British cold – hot!
On the scorer list, old lieutenant Liu Yun ranked first with 18 goals. Qu Bai followed with 16 goals.
The media have commented: The old lieutenant is still the demon golden boot who scored goals at Old Trafford!
Regarding the praise of the media, Liu Yun seemed a little unimpressed. He said to head coach Edda: "The face of the British media is really like a child, it changes three times a day! It seems that yesterday they were still saying that Coventry's relegation is a problem, and today they are discussing whether Coventry can win the championship! ”
Edda laughed and said, "Who made our dark horse too dark." Straight on the heels of Manchester United in the standings? ”
Coventry's results went up, and so did the problems.
A whole bunch of advertisers have approached young people in Coventry with a lot of endorsement contracts. A variety of business events await young people to participate. This distracts them.
Liu Yun is like a patriarch in Coventry. But Liu Yun can't help but let the children have money and not make it.
Liu Yun has suffered from not having money, and he knows the importance of money better than anyone else.
He can only warn the young people that it is okay to participate in business activities - don't delay the training, and the offender will be severely punished!
Liu Yun's current status at Coventry is similar to Alex Ferguson's status at Manchester United. He is not only the teacher of the young people, but also a figure like their fathers.
The young people of Coventry are also fighting for money, and they should participate in the business activities that they should participate in. As for the glamorous PARTIES that invited them to participate, they all stopped.
In terms of training, the young people are conscientious. In particular, Bai Rifeng, although he is still in the ban period, trains harder than the other players.
On this day, Liu Yun and head coach Eda set goals for the next stage of the team.
15th round, Coventry City vs Brighton. Round 16, Southampton vs Coventry. Round 17, Coventry vs Stoke City.
The goal at this stage is to score nine points!
The young people of Coventry have built up a lot of confidence through game after game. They are confident that they will accomplish the small goal of 9 points.
On this day, Qu Bai had a holiday and came to Coventry to see his father-in-law and sister-in-law Coke.
Isabella went to China to work on her philanthropic work. Liu Yun and Qu Bai are now two genuine bachelors. Thankfully, Mrs. Hudson's daughter-in-law, Gloria, had been taking care of Coke Jr. at home.
Liu Yun ordered a meal of dumplings for his son-in-law. The two of them chatted while eating.
Qu Bai said to Liu Yun: "Dad, now Coventry seems to have become the new favorite of the British media. Of course, Coventry's news does have an inspirational selling point. However, I'm afraid... ”
Liu Yun smiled at Qu Bai: "You mean, killing?" ”
Qu Bai nodded: "Dad, the players in Coventry are a group of children under the age of 20 after all!" ”
Liu Yun smiled dumbly: "You are the same as seventy or eighty." Aren't you only 22 years old? ”
Although Liu Yun said this, he knew in his heart that Qu Bai had a maturity far beyond his actual age. He's got amazing self-control and belongs to the kind of player who knows what he should and shouldn't do.
Qu Bai said, "Dad." I know I'm saying something old-fashioned. But that's the case! You must have a good eye on your players. Haven't you heard? A certain player in Coventry has a hot fight with a small eight-tier model in London. That little model is a well-known star collector! Oh, and of course, she collects the stars in bed at the location. ”
Liu Yun was taken aback: "Who?" ”
Qu Bai replied: "Dad, just look at the gossip magazines." Say the name and count me as a small report. Oh, the paparazzi of the gossip magazine even lined up for photos of the two of them entering and leaving the hotel together. ”
Liu Yun directly took out his mobile phone, Google keywords: Coventry, players, models.
A bunch immediately popped up on the phone: Coventry goalkeeper Billy night club model Selena; Gossip news about Coventry goalkeeper Billy spending the night with Selena Hotel.
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment. Does this belong to the player's private life, tube, or does it not matter?
Liu Yun asked Qu Bai: "Xiaoqu, in your opinion, if I take care of this matter, is it considered a dog to meddle with a mouse?" A team captain who takes care of a player's private life... Besides, Billy has been in good shape. ”
Qu Bai said: "Knock on the side and knock it down. It doesn't have to be. First, it's his private life. This is the Western world, not China. In the West, even parents have no right to interfere in the private lives of their adult children. Second, as you said yourself, Billy has been in good shape. ”
Liu Yun nodded: "It was the side that knocked him down." He used all his energy in places where he shouldn't have been, and he became a soft-footed shrimp on the field! ”
