Chapter 86 The Guest War Coventry Part 2

The team checks in to the hotel in the morning, and the players will rest in the room for a few hours, the game will be played at 16:00.

Gao Bo stood in the hotel lobby, looking at the gloomy sky. The dark clouds in the distant sky continued to gather, making Gao Bo feel as if he was holding a large reservoir of water above his head ...

"Weather forecast says no rain ..." Lin Sen reminded him right next to her.

“English weather forecast is less reliable than domestic weather forecast!” Gao Bo looked at the momentum of the dark clouds above the city in the distance, and said helplessly.

Gao Bo knew meteorologists before. According to experts, the current weather forecast rate is similar to the weather forecast rate of the old farmers. Most of the time, not so accurate. I expect to see a weather cloud chart to analyze the weather in a week. It was a blind man who touched an elephant, you don't know where the wind was heading ...

Sure enough, the sky had started raining, and it seemed like it was going to rain even more.

Gao Bo shook his head helplessly, he hated playing in the rain.

Because according to him, even though Coventry is a team from the British Championship, Luton has the advantage in terms of strength, with card reform, Coventry hard power can not be compared with Luton.

So what Gao Bo expects is a game in good weather conditions, so that Luton can take advantage of its advantages and reduce the occurrence of any accidents.

Fortunately, an hour before the game began, the sky was still drizzling, and there was no tendency for heavy rain, and many dark clouds had disappeared. Gao Bo was relieved.

The weather in the UK is unpredictable. You don't know what the next second will be like.

But in any case, this would not let the team play in the rainstorm.

The game was played at four in the afternoon, but in the parking lot outside Ricoh Stadium, it was difficult to find an empty parking lot at three in the afternoon. The gloomy sky was drizzling, but in England they were used to this. The fans don't even have umbrellas. They are new and excited, waving the Coventry sky blue team flag and singing Coventry songs from all directions.

Ricoh Stadium is a newly built stadium in Coventry in 2005, which can accommodate more than 30,000 fans. Previously, Highfield Road Coventry Stadium was also very famous in England.

Highfield Road Stadium is the first full-seater stadium in England and one of the largest grass-covered stadiums in England. On 30 April 2005, Coventry beat Derbyshire 6-2 here and bid farewell to the 106-year-old Highfield Road Stadium, after which the Sky Blues moved to Ricoh Stadium in the north of the city.

The team bus departed from the hotel at 14:30, and the car slowly moved down a narrow street in downtown Coventry. Although the hotel is only seven or eight kilometers from the stadium, the team bus is still running for almost half an hour.

The low houses on both sides were like cheeseched boxes. Under the gloomy sky, this milky white roof actually triggered a different kind of light.

The players turned a blind eye to the view outside the window, they were now doing their own thing in the car. Listening to music, closing their eyes and resting, some were chatting in a quiet voice. The players have adapted to this rhythm of life. For a regular away game like Coventry, the players are not too nervous or excited.

Now it's an hour before the game starts, they have to rush to warm up and at the same time have to adapt to the away field.

It was drizzling and the sky was very foggy, but the atmosphere of the stadium was very warm.

Facing Luton, Coventry fans showed their "warm welcome.

When the Luton players appeared on the pitch, the more than 30,000 Coventry fans on the scene made sharp mockery, and they hit Luton this way.

This made Luton players unable to help but look to the stands. As a team in the second division, Luton rarely met such targeted treatment in FA Cup away games. Chelsea played away in the third round, but Chelsea fans did not expect Luton to beat Chelsea back then, so they ignored him when Luton came out for a warm-up.

Coventry fans are now booing their opponents once they warm up, which suggests that they really feel that Luton are a team that is quite threatening to Coventry.

...

Mourinho's good friend Coleman was actually quite happy to draw Luton as an opponent. Although the media believes Luton is fully capable of playing in the Premier League, Coleman does not think so.

Luton does have a certain level of strength, but there is a big part in Chelsea and Manchester City being underestimated.

Coventry will not underestimate the enemy! So Coleman is confident that his team can at least qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals.

In the last round of the League Championship, Coventry lost at home to Sheffield United, who dropped them to twelveth in the league standings, and eight points behind sixth-place Bristol City. , It seems that this season is a disappointing one for Coventry fans. Their hopes of improving this season have been very small.

But in the FA Cup, Coventry performance is quite good. They lucky. In the third round they were up against Gundamister. It's a low-level league team. Coventry easily beat him. The opponents advanced, and then in the fourth round, they met Torquay United, who were a semi-professional team in the 5th division. Coventry also did not face any meaningful exams.

However, in the fifth round, Coventry met Blackburn of the Premier League. Coventry was two goals behind on the road. However, in the second half, Coleman's team launched a counter-attack. They scored two consecutive goals. The score equalised, and then when everyone thought the two teams would play a rematch, forward Coventry Morrison sent in a goal in the 94th minute of the game, helping the team turn the score around to 3-2, made it to the quarter-finals.

“We are not qualified to underestimate the enemy!” In the home team's dressing room, Coleman's face is still not easy.

Despite feeling Luton is not as strong as the media say, but the team that was able to eliminate Chelsea and Manchester City had two strokes, and he had to make Coventry players pay attention to the opponent in front of him.

"Chelsea and Manchester City were eliminated by them. If we think that this is just an ordinary second division team, this just shows our stupidity !!" Coleman pointed to his head and said, "Don't worry. Do not underestimate the enemy !! "

“In this game, we are based on defense first, we fight at home, first defend strongly, and then face them!” Coleman obviously treated Luton as an opponent of the same level before making an attack.

These two opponents did not understand each other, and were obviously too risky to rush the attack, so Coleman's choice was understandable.
