The fifteenth round of the Premier League, Ricoh Arena, Coventry VS Brighton!

The second in the standings played against the seventeenth, and the game itself lacked suspense. Pre-match media were unanimously predicted that Coventry would continue to cement second place in the table with a home win over Brighton.

Locker room.

Eda is deploying tactics. Liu Yun keenly found that the goalkeeper Billy next to him yawned a lot.

Billy is a Coventry native and does not live in the players' quarters.

Liu Yun couldn't help but think of his son-in-law Qu Bai telling him that Billy had something to do with the models.

The competition is coming, and Liu Yun is not sure to give Billy any more ideological education lessons. He's going to talk to Billy after the game.

On the commentary bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy said: "We got the starting lists of both sides. On Coventry's side, goalkeeper Billy, four defenders Papa, Zhao, Lee, Huntle. Four midfielders Garrincha, Bebeto, Magerny, Hess. On the front line, it is still the old lieutenant and the iron tower manla. ”

Fat Bob said: "Brighton's side, goalkeeper Ryan. Four defenders: Lewis, Connor, Shane, Alex. Five midfielders Beram, Giri, Pascal, Solomon, Sujan. Solitaire James. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "The most famous player in the Brighton team should be James. The 98-year-old striker was named for the England squad in September. At 24 years old, he is a promising player. ”

Fat Bob agreed: "But even with James, it will be difficult for Brighton to score three points at Ricoh Stadium." You know, Coventry haven't lost at home since returning to the Premier League! Even the mighty Manchester United only took one point away from the Ricoh Arena! Okay, now that both teams are in the game, let's enjoy the game! ”

Brighton's head coach is an old acquaintance of the Chinese - former Japanese national team captain Hidetoshi Nakata!

Hidetoshi Nakata was born in 77. In his career, he played for Hiratsuka, Roma, Fiorentina and Bolton, and was elected Asian Footballer of the Year in 1997 and 1998. In the 02 Baseball World Cup, as the captain of the Japanese team, he helped the team reach the round of 16. In the 06 World Cup, the Japanese failed to qualify for the group stage, and the 29-year-old Hidetoshi Nakata announced his retirement.

After retiring from the army, Hidetoshi Nakata attended the AFC's football coach training course. Start fighting from the J3 League. Akita Blue Lightning, who led the J3 League, made it all the way to the J1 League. Two years ago, he went abroad to coach Portuguese league side Penafe and lead the team to the Portuguese Super League.

Nakata's coaching career was undoubtedly a success. Half a month before the start of the season, Brighton Lightning signed Hidetoshi Nakata.

After the two sides picked the edges, they were about to kick off.

Hidetoshi Nakata sat in the coach's seat and sighed: "There are so many East Asian faces at Ricoh Stadium today! ”

What Hidetoshi Nakata said is true. Old lieutenants Liu Yun, Zhao Kaixuan, Li Fanghua - plus him. At the moment, there are four East Asian faces on and off the field.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

From the start of the game, Coventry were firmly in control of the game. Manla repeatedly made breakthroughs on the wings. Lewis, who was close to Manla, cried - this South African tower is too strong!

For exactly 20 minutes, Coventry almost twisted Brighton into their own half.

But no one expected that it would be Brighton who scored first!

In the 22nd minute, Brighton launched a counter-attack. Forwards Su Yang and Solomon made a wonderful one-two on the edge of the penalty area. Solomon plays the ball straight into James in the box.

James takes the ball and pushes it!

His push kick fell. The ball rolled limply towards the Coventry goal.

This kind of shot, even the goalkeeper of a high school team can easily confiscate it!

An amazing scene happened!

Goalkeeper Billy didn't make any saves as if he hadn't woken up.

The ball almost grazed Billy's right leg and rolled into the goal!

The ball is in! 1：0！ Brighton take the lead!

On the coach's seat, Hidetoshi Nakata stood up with his hands raised: "Onboard!" Onboard! Hidetoshi Nakata celebrated the goal loudly in his native language.

Billy looked confused and scooped the ball out of the net and threw it to defender Papa.

Papa angrily shouted at Billy, "Dude, what were you thinking?" ”

Billy shrugged his shoulders in apology.

Brighton's morale was boosted after taking the lead.

However, Liu Yun soon taught Brighton what it was like to strafe the old lieutenant's machine gun.

In the 27th minute, Magernny, who replaced the suspended Bai Rifeng, passed Pascal who had passed Brighton in the middle and handed the ball to the old lieutenant Liu Yun in front.

After Liu Yun got the ball, he used a clean crotch piercing past Beram. In the face of Connor's frontal defense, Liu Yun pulled the ball horizontally and shook the shot angle.

Long shot from the edge of the penalty area! The old lieutenant hit a beautiful world wave! The ball goes straight to the top right corner of the Brighton goal!

Brighton goalkeeper Ryan couldn't make a save. The ball is in! 1：1！ Old Lieutenant Liu Yun equalized!

"Yay~" the fans in Coventry cheered.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Liu Yun made an old lieutenant-style machine gun strafing gesture in celebration.

The big-mouthed Dunphy shouted, "It's the old lieutenant again!" This old monster-like guy has scored his 19th goal of the season! We all know that the old lieutenant once set a single-season goal record since the Premier League was restructured three years ago - 48 goals. I have a hunch that the old lieutenant is going to break his own record this season and beat the 60 goals set by Everton's legendary goalscorer Dean in 1928! ”

Fat Bob said, "Ha, the old lieutenant has scored again!" Pretty world wave! Dunphy, you're right, old lieutenant - like an old monster on the field! ”

After Brighton conceded the goal, Hidetoshi Nakata looked calm. The goal just now was not the fault of the disciples. It can only be said that the fifty-year-old Chinese man opposite is too strong.

The two sides are back on the same starting line.

Who would have thought that just 3 minutes later, Coventry would fall behind again!

In the 30th minute, Brighton scored from a distance in the middle of the field. The quality of this long-range shot is average, and there is no power to speak of.

Goalkeeper Billy turned out to be a pounce!

Brighton's hopeful James arrived quickly and grabbed a point! The ball flies into the net like a bullet! The ball is in! 2：1！ James scored twice!

James made a V-sign behind his back towards the camera!

This is the biggest provocation to Coventry!

The V gesture represents victory.

The V-sign behind the back, in the UK, stands for: Get out!

In 1941, the Nazis were on the battlefield in Europe. The reporter asked the British first Churchill at the time how he viewed Hitler's offensive, and Churchill did not answer, but only made a V-shaped gesture with his back hand towards the camera.

Churchill meant: let those who thought the British army would be defeated!

James wanted to imitate Churchill back then and told the media: Let those who are not optimistic about Brighton get out! Lo and behold, we were able to lead Coventry twice at the Ricoh Stadium!

In the stands, the suspended White Sun Wind and the retired stadium villain Alexander sat side by side.

Alexander complained to the daywind, "Did that damn playboy Billy drop his soul on the model's bed?" These two goals should not be conceded 100%! ”

Bai Rifeng said: "Yes, he has no form at all in this game!" ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy in the commentary seat also criticized Billy: "Billy's performance today is simply not as good as the goalkeepers of those secondary amateur teams!" Both goals conceded were due to his mistakes! Oh, my God! As soon as the old lieutenant equalized, he buried the draw! 1:2, Coventry is behind again! ”

After conceding the second goal, Cowan had no chance to equalise until half-time.

This time it was the Iron Tower Manra who saved Coventry.

Liu Yun broke through the middle, passed two Brighton players in a row and then distributed the ball to Hess on the wing.

Hess crosses from the bottom! Tieta Manla jumped high and hit the goal with a hammer!

The ball hit the inside of the Brighton post and bounced into the net!

2：2！ Coventry equalised for the second time!

"Yay~" The fans of the Sky Blue Army are boiling!

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "This is the twenty-six-year-old Manla, the sixth league goal of the season!" He's already in the top 10 of the scorers' charts! ”

Fat Bob said: "Actually, if it weren't for goalkeeper Billy's two low-level mistakes, the score would have been 2:0 instead of 2:2!" Billy made Coventry miserable today! ”

With the referee's whistle, the first half ended.

During the break, Coventry head coach Eda slammed Billy in the dressing room: "How did you do that? You have to take full responsibility for the two goals conceded! Honestly, didn't you get a good night's sleep last night? ”

Billy didn't make any rebuttals.

In fact, in the first half of the league, Billy's performance was very bright! The reason why Coventry has been able to overcome the devil's opponents in the first eight rounds of the game is that the combination of the old lieutenant and Manla is invincible up front. On the other hand, there is also the credit of Billy's unusually steady guarding of the gate.

But today, Billy's performance is very different from before!

Today's Billy is not like a professional goalkeeper in the Premier League, but like an amateur goalkeeper of a secondary school team.

Liu Yun knew that after the game, it was time to talk to Billy.

The second half of the game begins.

Billy's performance didn't improve!

In the 55th minute, another low-level mistake!

Brighton's James stabbed into the Coventry penalty area.

This is a boccia ball with a flat speed and a good angle.

Don't talk about Billy as a professional goalkeeper. Even the old lieutenant in the front court changed into gloves to act as a goalkeeper, and he could easily save the ball.

Who would have thought that Billy's down-to-the-ground save - he didn't save the ball!

The ball rubbed into his hand and rolled slowly into the goal! Own goal! 2：3！ Coventry City fell behind for the third time in this game!

It turned out to be an own goal!

Head coach Edda finally can't take it anymore!

Substitution! Seventeen-year-old substitute goalkeeper Fatino replaces Billy!

The big-mouthed Dunphy said, "Coach Edda finally can't help it!" With 35 minutes left in the game, replace Billy with a substitute goalkeeper! Oh, Billy is acting like an undercover agent sent by Brighton to Coventry City! ”

Fat Bob agreed: "Billy simply gave Brighton striker James a hat-trick package!" The England squad will assemble at the end of the month. There's a good chance James will be selected again for a hat-trick in this game! ”

Billy walked out disgraced.

Seventeen-year-old Fatino stood in front of the goal line.

Fatino is a real high school goalkeeper! He is still attending full-time high school classes at Amphili Secondary School in Coventry.

However, he is very talented and very much liked by the head coach Edda.

2:3 scoreline, 35 minutes remaining. It's going to be tough for Coventry to get all three points at home!

Thankfully, Coventry has an invincible legendary old lieutenant!

In the 73rd minute, Bebeto broke through with the ball and was dragged by a Brighton player at the edge of the penalty area.

"Toot ~" The referee's whistle sounded! Kick! A free kick from 27 meters from goal!

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "Three years ago, when the old lieutenant was at Manchester United, the goal rate of a free kick at this distance was as high as that of an ordinary striker! I wonder if he will be able to continue the form he was in three years ago and equalise for Coventry? ”

Liu Yun stood in front of the penalty spot. Take a deep breath, run, shoot!

Pretty full moon scimitar!

The ball hangs straight into the left corner of the Brighton goal!

The ball is in! 3：3！ The old lieutenant scored twice!

"Yay~~"

The big-mouthed Dunphy shouted: "20th goal of the season!" Old lieutenant! The great old lieutenant saved Coventry again at a critical moment! Legends, heroes, tough guys... All the words of praise we can think of are not enough to describe the old lieutenant! There are 17 minutes left until the end of the game! Come on, old lieutenant, come on, Coventry! ”

Fat Bob said: "This game is magical. It seems that the old lieutenant has been paying for all sorts of low-level mistakes Billy! ”

After the equaliser, Coventry was in high spirits.

The moment of overtaking came in the 88th minute!

Hess lobs the ball into the box on the wing.

Liu Yun's position at the moment is not embarrassing. He has his back to the goal and if he turns, there is a good chance that he will not be able to grab the point.

Liu Yun made a quick decision! He stretched his whole body and hung the golden hook upside down!

An upside-down golden hook on the line of the small penalty area!

The ball flew straight into the bottom left corner of the Brighton goal!

Brighton goalkeeper Ryan can't make a save! The ball is in! At the last moment of the game, the old lieutenant Liu Yun scored a hat trick! Miraculously helped the team to overtake the score 4:3!

"Yay~" The atmosphere of the audience reached a climax at this moment!

In the stands, the villain Alexander and the suspended Bai Rifeng hugged each other!

The big-mouthed Dunphy shouted: "Hat-trick!" 21 goals in fifteen rounds! Old Lieutenant, what kind of person are you? What exactly is your body made of? ”

Fat Bob said: "On the shooter list, the old lieutenant has opened a distance of 5 goals with his son-in-law Qu!" What an old lieutenant of the Sky Blue Legion! What a thrilling game! ”

On Brighton's coach's bench, the corners of Nakata's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: Old lieutenant, old lieutenant, you are really the glory of Asian football! There's really no shame in losing to Coventry. They're - they have that legendary man!

In the final minutes of the game, neither side achieved anything.

In the end, Coventry City beat Brighton 4:3 at home and got three points without danger!
