Winning Arsenal, breaking into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, Coventry, the dark horse, seems to be going to the end.Next league, No.20 three rounds, Coventry 1:0 Liverpool, No.20 four Coventry 3:1 Tottenham, No.20 five rounds, Coventry 1:1 Manchester City, No.20 Six rounds, Coventry 3:0 Leicester City, No.20 Seven rounds, Coventry 2:0 Huddersfield United.
In the eight rounds of the devil's schedule in the second half of the league, Coventry scored a full 20 points!In the standings, they lead the pack with 70 points.
Manchester United steadily bit the point difference with Coventry.Followed by 67 points.
Manchester City, who is third, has only 56 points and has already withdrawn from the championship.
Surprisingly, the fourth place in the league is not Chelsea, not Arsenal, not Liverpool - but a team with a loyal chairman - Huddersfield United.
In this spring, Coventry's "the weakest team in the Premier League", this "the Premier League team with the strength of League One", created an amazing miracle in the British Isles.
Liu Xiaoyan is three months pregnant.Now Liu Yun is looking forward to many things.He expects Coventry to win the Premier League and FA Cup double at the end of the season.He looks forward to his grandson or granddaughter coming to the world as soon as possible.He looks forward to Coventry's transformation from a third-rate club in England to a first-class team in Europe!
Isabella has returned to Coventry from China.Her charity project in Handong has established [-] primary schools in the Handong Mountain area, providing free education for [-] mountain children.
In the beginning of spring, a big event happened in the English football circle.
Lord Ferguson is dead.
The 82-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson has suffered from Parkinson's syndrome and myocardial aging in the past two years.In February of this year, he was in poor health and was admitted to the hospital.
In the hospital, Sir Alex Ferguson still maintained the habit of watching Manchester United games in the ward every Premier League match day.
His attending doctor was amazed: Sir Alex didn't even know his own son or grandson, but he could accurately call the names of active Manchester United players in front of the TV.
In the seventh round of No.20, Manchester United swept Crystal Palace 5-0 at home.The old man on the hospital bed was in a good mood. After the game, he fell asleep peacefully, and he never woke up again.
Alex Ferguson, who was born in a slum in Glasgow, Scotland, joined the Queen of Scotland Park team at the age of 16, and announced his retirement at the Theater of Dreams at the age of 72. His football career lasted 56 years.
In 1999, Ferguson was awarded a Knight of the Lower Order (KB) by the Queen, which is the highest honor that a British civilian can receive.
Given that Ferguson's contribution to the Manchester United club is unparalleled.Manchester City Hall has decided to hold Sir Alex Ferguson's funeral with the highest decorum.
Almost all of England's living football stars attended Sir Alex Ferguson's funeral.
Sir Bobby Charlton came, FA chairman Clarke came, and the British royal family even sent Prince William as a representative to attend the funeral.
Cantona, Beckham, Butt, Giggs, Scholes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Neville brothers, Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo - all of Ferguson's protégés from time to time at the funeral.
There are more than 400 players who have played for Manchester United under Ferguson.
Liu Yun was also among the crowd attending the funeral.
Ferguson's coffin will be transported by carriage from Manchester Royal Hospital to Manchester Cathedral.After a condolence service in the church, his coffin will be transported to Glasgow, Scotland - his hometown for burial.
On the road from the Royal Hospital to Manchester Cathedral, nearly 30 people stood on both sides of the road and spontaneously saw Sir Alex off.
You know, at the funeral of Princess Diana, the number of funerals was only 25.
Those who came to the funeral were not only from Manchester.And Liverpool, London, Newcastle. . .Fans of the former rival team came to Manchester from various cities in the UK to bid farewell to this venerable opponent.
Because Lord Ferguson has the Order of KB, sixty cavalry from the Royal Scots Cavalry cleared the way in front of the coffin.
Bagpipers in traditional kilts play mournful pipes behind the cavalry.
People on both sides of the road held up photos of Ferguson in their hands.
The pallbearers are the six members of Class 92—Beckham, Butt, Giggs, Scholes, and the Neville brothers.
Ryan Giggs, the tough guy on the court, was in tears at the moment, choked up several times.
On Beckham's face, there are still memories left by the old Sir Alex with spiked sneakers.But he has no hatred for the old lord at the moment, only endless grief.
BBC TV broadcast the following words on the live broadcast of the funeral: the football legend passed away, and there is no Ferguson in Britain.
The carriage pulled the coffin and walked slowly towards Manchester Cathedral.Liu Yun and Mourinho walked side by side behind the funeral crowd.
It was Sir Alex Ferguson who used all available connections to allow Liu Yun to pass the special genius clause and be able to play for Manchester United.If it weren't for Sir Alex Ferguson's enthusiastic help at the beginning, perhaps there would be no legend of the old lieutenant in European football.
At last the carriage drove into Manchester Cathedral.
Bishop John VIII of the Church of England presided over the condolences.
"Give him eternal rest, Lord, and shine on them with eternal light. Or, may the Lord open the gates of heaven to him, and let him return to his homeland: where there is no death, but eternal bliss. For the Father, and In the name of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen!"
Mourinho first came to power and gave a speech of condolences: "Sir Alex Ferguson. A great man. Since he took over the coach of Manchester United in 1986 and retired in 2013, during his 27 years of teaching Manchester United, he has been a great player for the football team. The team has brought 13 Premier League titles, 2 Champions League titles, 5 FA Cup titles, 4 League Cup titles, and was elected as the best manager of the Premier League season 11 times. His position in Manchester United is irreplaceable. In the history of Manchester United, there is only one head coach comparable to him - that is Sir Busby.
Ferguson interpreted the spirit of Manchester United - persistence, persistence, never giving up and the blood of a man!In 26 years, like a preacher, he passed on the spirit of Manchester United to countless players.
As his latecomer, I have received selfless help and guidance from Sir Alex Ferguson in the past few years.I promised him that I would keep the spirit of Manchester United alive.Rest in peace, Sir Alex Ferguson.Old Trafford will always remember you.Manchester United fans will always remember you.Your body has been marked with a red brand, and this brand, like the wind, rain and electricity in the world, will become eternal! "
Next is the condolences of Ferguson's favorite disciple Giggs: "Sir Ferguson, my coach forever. I saw him for the first time when I was 13 years old. He said to his assistant: This kid is like a chasing paper in the wind. He chased football like a cocker spaniel. He led my life into the path of football. He taught me how to play football and how to be a human being. My brothers and I at Manchester United have benefited from his teachings for the rest of our lives."
Halfway through his eulogy, Giggs, the hero of the Dream Theater, broke down emotionally, broke down in tears, and was helped off the stage by Scholes.
Liu Yun found a person standing beside him - very familiar.
It turned out to be Alan Hansen!
Alan Hansen, once an enemy of Ferguson.Before the start of the 98-99 season, Alan Hansen, a BBC reporter, said in the program: With a group of children, Manchester United can't win anything.
As a result, Ferguson led the young Manchester United to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble in the summer of 99.
Alan Hansen was also evaluated by the media as an enemy who was severely beaten in the face by the old Sir Alex.
This is the enemy, with a gloomy expression on his face now.He felt sorry for Ferguson's death from the bottom of his heart.
"Dong dong dong." The Manchester Cathedral bell rang three times.
Only when the heroes who died on the battlefield were buried, the cathedral would ring three bells in mourning.
Ferguson - in fact, a real fighter.Warriors on the pitch!
Members of class 92 gathered around Giggs, originally trying to comfort Giggs who was out of control.
Never thought, Beckham, Scholes, Neville brothers. . .Several middle-aged people who had entered their forties hugged each other and cried.
The death of the legendary coach has cast a tinge of sadness over the sky of the entire city of Manchester.
One United fan on Twitter even tweeted:
"People who like Real Madrid are generally people who like to pretend to be B; those who like Barcelona are generally more meticulous people; those who like AC Milan are generally enthusiastic people; those who like Inter Milan are generally people with serious self-abuse tendencies Those who like Juventus are generally more stable people; those who like Chelsea are generally people who advocate strength; those who like Liverpool are generally people who are obsessed with the past; those who like Arsenal are generally sissy plus doormat.
So the people who like Manchester United are those people-they are all people with a sense of domineering.This kind of domineering is actually the spiritual core of Manchester United - persistence, hard work, perseverance, never giving up and the blood of a man!
Sir Alex Ferguson has carried forward the spirit of Manchester United during his more than 20 years of coaching.So, Ferguson is eternal.Even if he dies in heaven, what he left for Manchester United will never be erased. "
Outside the cathedral, tens of thousands of Manchester United fans sang "GLORY GLORY MANUNITED".They bid farewell to the legendary coach with singing.
After the condolence ceremony in the cathedral, a funeral car carrying Sir Alex Ferguson's coffin headed north - the direction of Ferguson's hometown.
After the condolence ceremony, Liu Yun returned to Coventry.
He looked at the scenery outside the car window and felt a lot of emotion.
When a person dies, it is also a kind of glory for the deceased to have so many people mourning his death?
------
The Sri Lankan has passed away, but the living will continue to live—the old lieutenant's journey will continue.
In the eighth round of No.20, Coventry will challenge Watford away.
Watford is now ranked No.15 in the league and belongs to a team with no desires and no desires.
How could Coventry drop points on such a team?
A clean 3-0 win saw Coventry bring back three points from Vicarage Road.
Liu Yun, who scored twice in this game, also expanded his single-season goals to 39 goals.There are still 20 rounds left in the league. This season, Liu Yun will challenge a record that has not been broken in a century - the record of 20 goals in a single season in England's top league set by the legendary Everton star Dean in the 60s.
Before the season, if Liu Yun proposed to challenge this record, the media would definitely say he was crazy: this is the 21st century! Football in the 21st century is not the same as football 100 years ago!You are already 50 years old, how can you score 60 goals in a single season!
Liu Yun has never lacked miracles.
From Yujia Restaurant, to Shanghai Dongxing, from Coventry, to Manchester United, and back to Coventry.After Liu Yun returned to football, he played for four teams and created miracles for the four teams!
Coventry's performance this season can be called a monster.Manchester United's performance can also be called solid.
Until the eighth round of No.20, the points gap between them and Coventry was still 3 points-a gap of one game.
Today's Coventry has become the most supported team by Hua Guo fans - just like the Hua Guo people support the Rockets because of Yao Riyue in the basketball arena.Because of Liu Yun's existence, they regard Coventry as their home team.
Because of Zhao Kaixuan and Li Fanghua's outstanding performance in the Premier League, one was selected for the U21 National Youth League and the other was selected for the national team.Although Bai Rifeng is of Chinese descent, he is of Italian nationality. He was also selected for the latest training list of the Italian national team.
Huaguo fans have been calling for Liu Yun to join the national team over the years.
However, a piece of regulations from the association a few years ago blocked Liu Yun's way to enter the national team-super-old players over the age of 45 are not allowed to enter the national team.
Liu Yun thought about it.To perform well in the Premier League is also to win glory for the motherland.
On the football field, Liu Yun is an out-and-out winner.
In the mall, Liu Yun is also a big winner!
Not to mention that the valuation of Manchester United stock in his hand has doubled several times.
A few years ago, in order to help his mentor Zhao Qiyou, he invested 500 million RMB in Lizhicheng.Five years have passed, and Zhizhi Orange has become "the world's number one orange brand".The oranges transported from Ailao Mountain are exported to Britain, the United States, Japan and Australia in a steady stream.Zhao Qiyou launched the Lizhi Orange IPO a few years ago, and converted the 500 million into the original stock.Today, the market value of 500 million stocks has exceeded [-] million!
Liu Yun, who is worth tens of millions, never forgets to give back to the society when he has money.
The "Old Lieutenant Fund" established by him and his wife Isabella has donated nearly [-] million pounds in several years.
No wonder the English media commented: The old lieutenant is a role model for young people, whether he is playing football or being a man.
On this day, an old friend Hao Hexi came to Liu Yun's house.
Zhujiang Haihun signed an agreement with Coventry four years ago to entrust the training of young players.Hao Hexi came to England this time to send a dozen U15 young players to Coventry for training.
Liu Yun warmly entertained Hao Hexi at home.
Hao Hexi can now see a little gray on his temples. At the age of 53, he has entered the year of knowing his destiny.
Hao Hexi said to Liu Yun: "Old Liu, the dozen or so children sent to Coventry this time are all good seedlings! You help cultivate them well, maybe there will be a few more Qu Bai, Zhao Kaixuan, Li Fanghua."
Liu Yun smiled and said, "No problem, I will treat them like my own children."
