Chapter 86: Coventry Central

　　 Chapter 86
　　 The team checked into the hotel in the morning, and then the players will rest in the room for a few hours. The game will be played at 4pm.
　　 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 full of water above his head...
　　 "The weather forecast says there is no rain..." Lin Sen reminded him right next to him.
　　 "England's weather forecast is less reliable than domestic ones!" Gao Bo looked at the momentum of the dark clouds over the city in the distance, and said helplessly.
Gao Bo knew a meteorological expert before. According to experts, the current level of weather forecasting is similar to that of old farmers watching the weather. Most of the time, it is not so accurate. I hope to look at the weather cloud chart to analyze the weather in a week. It’s a blind person touching the elephant, you don’t know where the wind is going...
　　 Sure enough, the sky has already begun to rain, and it seems that the rain will get heavier.
　　 Gao Bo shook his head helplessly. He hated playing in the rain.
　　Because in his opinion, although Coventry is the team of the British Championship, Luton has an advantage in strength. With the improvement of cards, Coventry's hard power can't compare to Luton.
　　 So what Gao Bo hopes is a game in good weather conditions, so that Luton can use his advantages and reduce the occurrence of any accidents.
　　......
　　 Fortunately, one hour before the start of the game, the sky was still drizzling, and there was no trend toward heavy rain, and a lot of dark clouds had disappeared. Gao Bo was relieved.
　　 The weather in England is really unpredictable. You don't know what it will be in the next second.
　　 But no matter what, this will not let the team play in the rainstorm.
The game was played at four o’clock in the afternoon, but in the parking lot outside the Ricoh Stadium, it was difficult to find an empty parking space at three o’clock in the afternoon. The gloomy sky was drizzling, but the English They have become accustomed to this. The fans don’t even have umbrellas. They are new and vigorous, waving Coventry’s sky blue team flag and singing Coventry’s songs from all directions.
　　 Ricoh Stadium is a newly built stadium in Coventry in 2005, which can accommodate more than 30,000 fans. Prior to this, Coventry’s Highfield Road Stadium was also very famous in England.
　　 Highfield Road Stadium is the first full-seat stadium in England and one of the largest grass-covered stadiums in England. On April 30, 2005, Coventry defeated Derbyshire 6-2 here and bid farewell to the 106-year-old Highfield Road Stadium, after which the Sky Blues moved into the Ricoh Stadium in the north of the city.
The team’s bus departed from the hotel at 2:30, and the car slowly moved on the narrow roads in downtown Coventry. Although the hotel is only seven or eight kilometers away from the stadium, the team’s bus Still walked for almost half an hour.
　　 The low houses on both sides are like boxes coated with cheese. Under the gloomy sky, these milky white roofs actually set off a different kind of light.
　　 The players turned a blind eye to the scenery outside the window. They are now doing their own thing in the car. Listening to music, closing my eyes and resting, some are chatting in low voices. The players have adapted to this rhythm of life. For an ordinary away game like Coventry, the players have not been too nervous or excited.
　　 The team’s bus quickly stopped into the designated parking spot. The players packed up and got out of the car. Their time was tight.
　　 Now there is only one hour before the start of the game. They have to hurry up to warm up, and at the same time they 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, the fans of Coventry showed their "warm welcome".
　　 When Luton’s players appeared on the court, more than 30,000 Coventry fans on the scene made a sharp boo, and they gave Luton a smash in this way.
　　 This makes Luton's players unable to help but look into the stands. As a team in the second division, Luton rarely encounters such targeted treatment in the FA Cup away game. Chelsea played away in the third round, but Chelsea fans didn't think that Luton could beat Chelsea at that time, so they ignored it when Luton came out to warm up.
　　 Coventry fans now boo their opponents as soon as they warm up in Luton, which shows that they really feel that Luton is a team that threatens Coventry enough.
　　...
　　 Mourinho’s good friend Coleman actually feels pretty good about drawing Luton as an opponent. Although the media believes Luton is fully capable of playing in the Premier League, Coleman doesn’t think so.
　　 Luton does have a certain degree of strength, but there is a big part in Chelsea and Manchester City's underestimation.
　　 Coventry will not underestimate the enemy! So Coleman believes that his team can at least make the FA Cup semi-finals.
In the last round of the Champions League, Coventry lost at home to Sheffield United, which dropped them to twelfth in the championship standings, and was eight points behind sixth place Bristol City. , It seems that this season is another disappointing season for Coventry fans~EbookFREE.me~ Their hope of upgrading this season is already very small.
However, in the FA Cup, Coventry's performance was pretty good. They were lucky. In the third round they drew Gundamister. This is a low-level league team. Coventry easily defeated. The opponents advanced, and then in the fourth round, they met Torquay United, which is a semi-professional team in the fifth division, and Coventry also did not face the test.
However, in the fifth round, Coventry met Blackburn of the Premier League. Coventry was behind by two goals in the away game. However, in the second half, Coleman's team launched a Jedi counterattack. They scored two consecutive goals. The score equalized, and then when everyone thought the two teams were about to play a rematch, Coventry forward Morrison sent a lore in the 94th minute of the game, helping the team reverse Blake 3-2 Ben, broke into the final.
　　 "We are not qualified to underestimate the enemy!" In the home team's locker room, Coleman's face is still not easy.
　　 Although he feels that Luton is not as strong as the media said, but the team that can eliminate Chelsea and Manchester City has two brushes, and he must make Coventry players pay full 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 can only show our stupidity!!" Coleman pointed to his head and said, "Don't worry. Don't underestimate the enemy!!"
　　 "In this game, we are based on defense first, we are fighting at home, first defend firmly, and then deal with them!" Coleman obviously treated Luton as an opponent of the same level before dealing.
　　 These two opponents don't understand each other, and it is obviously too risky to rush to attack, so Coleman's choice is understandable.
