Premier League 20th round, Old Trafford, Manchester United vs Coventry!

Two years ago, when Liu Yun left Manchester United, he had a half-joking joke with Jose Mourinho: "Who can guarantee that I won't be back at Old Trafford in a few years' time?" ”

The implication is that maybe one day, I can lead Coventry to the Premier League.

Mourinho laughed it off. It's never going to happen.

First of all, from League One to the Premier League, some teams have to go through decades of struggle. Even an upgrade maniac like Huddersfield United took five years.

Even if Coventry can accomplish the same feat as Huddersfield United. 5 years later, the old lieutenant is 53 years old! Maybe you're still playing professionally?

Mourinho didn't expect that in just 2 years, the old lieutenant Liu Yun's original joke became a reality!

And, Coventry and the old lieutenant are Old Trafford as the biggest threat to Manchester United's title defense!

Before the start of the game, Manchester United's official website put up a heartwarming poster, which turned out to be a photo of the LIL group's classic finger behind the player's number four years ago. The headline is: "Old Lieutenant, Welcome Home, But We Will Win Over Coventry".

Fans download and print this poster. On match day, the city of Manchester was filled with fans holding up posters that read 'Old Lieutenant, Welcome Home'.

This game was evaluated by the media as "the battle of the pinnacle of the Premier League", "the duel between the biggest dark horse of the Premier League and the league hegemon", and "the battle between David and Goliath".

Thirty minutes to go, the game will begin. Dressing room in Coventry.

Captain Liu Yun encouraged his young teammates: "I won't repeat the meaning of the 6-point battle!" The club doesn't demand much from us! Win the peace! As long as we can get one point at Old Trafford, it's a win! Manchester United have dominated the Premier League for far too long. It's time for the season to end the four-game winning streak. I hope we can be the terminators of the Manchester United dynasty! ”

Manchester United's dressing room.

Mourinho's demands on his disciples are also simple and violent: "We only have one goal, which is three points!" We have only one goal, which is to overtake Coventry City, one point ahead, and regain the top spot! ”

Today's game is a battle between a father-in-law and a son-in-law. It is also a duel between Liu Yun and Mourinho, two old friends.

On the commentary seat, the big-mouthed Dunphy lost a lot of weight. For two months, he had some heart problems and spent some time recuperating in the hospital. Coventry's match from round 14 to round 19 was narrated by other colleagues and Fat Bob. In order to be able to explain this pinnacle battle, he was discharged from the hospital early despite the doctor's dissuasion.

Dunphy the Big Mouth said: "This is probably the most interesting game of the whole season! The old lieutenant returns to Old Trafford! The former Old Trafford hero will challenge Manchester United, whom he fought for, on this turf! ”

Fat Bob said: "The old lieutenant was able to break the ten fingers of his former teammate De Gea? Who will score more goals, father-in-law or son-in-law? Can the dark horse be blacked out to the end? Can the Manchester United dynasty continue without a hitch? We'll see! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy added: "Now we have the starting lists for both sides. Coventry, goalkeeper Billy, four defenders Papa, Zhao, Lee, Huntle. Four midfielders Garrincha, Bebeto, Bai Rifeng, Hess. On the front line, it is still the old lieutenant and the iron tower manla. ”

Fat Bob said: "The average age of Coventry's starting line-up is only 21.5 years old! If you deduct the 50-year-old old old lieutenant Liu Yun, the average age is - 19 years old! This season, this group of youngsters has surprised everyone! Especially 19-year-old white. After five suspensions, he immediately regained his pre-suspension form! Not surprisingly, he will be the strongest contender for the Premier League's best newcomer this season! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy smiled and said, "The Italian name for white 'Zavadoni' means 'good luck'. Hopefully, this skinny kid will bring good luck to the Sky Blues in this game! ”

Fat Bob added: "On Manchester United's side, the starting goalkeeper David De Gea, the four defenders Hummels, Bailly, Bellerin, Klosterman. Three midfielders: Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Lemar. On the front line, it is a combination of Qu, Lewandowski and Rashford. This squad is worth a total of 900 million pounds! It can be called the most luxurious galaxy battleship in European football today. Well, the players from both sides have entered the arena. Let's look forward to this game! ”

When the players of the two sides exchanged team flags and shook hands, an incredible scene occurred in the Dream Theater.

The 80,000 fans in the stadium stood up and collectively chanted: "Old lieutenant! Old lieutenant! Old lieutenant! ”

Never before in Old Trafford's 112-year history has there been a crowd chanting the names of their opponents.

The old lieutenant Liu Yun really brought too many exciting moments to Old Trafford and to the fans of Manchester United.

In Manchester United's official website: "Manchester United's 100 years of most popular star poll", the old lieutenant Liu Yun unexpectedly beat Cantona, Giggs, George Best, Rooney, and Beckham in second place. With just five per cent of the vote, he is behind the Red Devils' eternal legend Sir Bobby Charlton.

A player's place in the minds of fans is not necessarily proportional to the amount of time he has spent with the team. Liu Yun has been at Manchester United for just two years, and he has conquered all Red Devils fans with his personality.

Liu Yun extended his hand to greet the Old Trafford fans.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

It was a surprise to everyone. This "battle between David and Goliath" was dreary after the opening!

For 20 minutes, neither side had a shot on goal!

The big-mouthed Dunphy commented: "Medieval knight duels, no one will strike first unless they are completely sure." Are the two teams going to emulate the knights of the Middle Ages today? ”

The silence was finally broken by Manchester United!

In the 22nd minute, Rashford won the ball on the right flank and passed Papa to form a breakthrough.

Bottom cross!

The ball flies into the box. Qu Bai, who has a first-class sense of smell in front of the door, appeared in the most deserved position!

Volley!

The ball flies to the right side of the Coventry goal! Goalkeeper Billy is too far to the left. There is nothing you can do about this shot!

Old Trafford was silent at this time. All the fans' eyes were fixed on the flying ball.

Mourinho also stood up from the dugout and craned his neck to look at the flying ball!

"Knock~" The ball actually hit the goalpost! Bounce into the box!

At the critical moment, the 34-year-old veteran Lewandowski quickly arrived! Follow-up shot in front of goal!

"O~" The ball is in! 1：0！

Old Trafford, after a brief silence, was in a boil!

"Yay~~~" The cheers of 80,000 fans shook the sky!

Lewandowski clenched his fists and ran to the camera to celebrate his goal with a roar!
