Some titles or deeds, illustrious enough to be remembered for a lifetime, have become difficult to overcome. In the semi-finals of the English FA Cup on Sunday, Coventry in the Championship scored two goals in a row at the end of the quarter-finals to eliminate Wolves to challenge Manchester United, and the focus on the field was certainly on how the two sharp knives in the front line, Ellis Simms (Ellis Simms) and Haji Wright, attacked the broken Red Devils defence, but coach Mark Robins (Mark Robins) was the protagonist of many British media before the game - this is known as Ferguson's "benefactor" The 54-year-old coach has led the way to Wembley for the second year in a row, and this time he vowed to erase the memories of last year's Championship promotion play-off final defeat and fight for Coventry to reach the FA Cup final for the first time in 37 years!
Needless to say, Ferguson's first three seasons in charge of Manchester United were fruitless, and in 1989/90 he was at the bottom of the league table, leading many fans to believe that the result of the third round of the FA Cup at Nottingham Forest was likely to determine Ferguson's stay. As a result, the 20-year-old Mark Robbins received a bouncing cross from his frontline partner Mark Hughes (Mark Hughes) and headed the ball to the ground, and finally Manchester United went all the way to the championship, and the rest is history. Of course, some of the current United players felt that Ferguson's situation was not as bad as "make it or die", but Mark Robbins' departure after only two more seasons added to the legend.
In 2017, he took charge of Coventry City, which had fallen to League Two for the second time, and won the EFL Trophy in less than a month, and the following season reversed the "Sky Blues" since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2001 After entering League One with the play-offs, they were promoted to the Championship as champions in the 2019/20 season, and only lost to Luton on penalties in the promotion play-off final last season, missing out on the Premier League.
Seven years of leading the army in the blink of an eye have also made Mark Robbins the most "long-lived" manager in England's four professional leagues other than Klope and Pep Guardiola. Even if the promotion opportunity this season is in name only, the promotion to the FA Cup semi-finals is enough to make fans love him even more, especially after the demolition of Coventry's former home stadium Highfield Road in 2005, which was once "under the fence" of Nottingham due to mismanagement of the owner and leasing disputes, which once made die-hard fans frustrated. Now that the team is back on the rise, with an average of 25,000 people sitting at home, a team record high of half a century, it's no wonder that Mark Robbins was able to "travel light" and enjoy the game with the fans before the game. "People tend to talk about Manchester United's people and performances in a lot of words, but they have really top players and they are the biggest team in the world, so it's impossible not to enjoy this matchup. Of course, your own team should also pose a threat to them, not take it for 90 minutes. ”
