Chapter 22: The Storm Strikes
The atmosphere in the locker room was terrifyingly frozen, except for the words of Li Lei and Keane, even if the needle fell to the ground, the sound could also be heard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You're not afraid of me?" The corners of Kean's mouth suddenly hooked strangely, and he looked at Li Lei with interest and said.
"Are you bluffing?" Li Lei raised another eyebrow and said lightly.
At this moment, Ferran on the side couldn't wait to sew up Li Lei's mouth immediately. He looked at Keane and Li Lei in horror, for fear that one of them would suddenly burst out. On the first day the captain met the newcomer, he was fighting in the dressing room, and when he thought of it, he seemed to have seen the terrifying picture of Ferguson's rage and the blowing of a hair dryer in front of him.
Moreover, it can be seen that the thoughts of the other Manchester United players present are no different from him, they all look at Li Lei and the others nervously, and their eyes do not blink.
Once the two of them do it, they don't naturally think that the enraged Ferguson will let them go. After spending so long under Ferguson, they knew all too well the temper of the venerable and formidable old Scottish commander. Even if they did not directly participate in the conflict, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape the punishment and reprimand of the old man who stood by and watched.
No Manchester United player wants to face an angry Alex Ferguson, not even the likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, who are the most decorated veterans of the United dynasty.
"Hahaha, I like you, kid. You're a real man. Unlike some little ghosts, although they look down on me in their hearts, they don't dare to look at me at all, I like your character. Just when everyone was nervous, Keane suddenly burst out laughing and said in a loud voice.
As he spoke, he also reached out and patted Li Lei's shoulder, nodding his head constantly, looking very appreciative of Li Lei.
In the face of this sudden turn of events, although Phelan and Giggs and others couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, seeing Keane's smiling face, they at least knew that this fight would definitely not be able to fight. At this point, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and laughed along with Keane.
Although they don't know what to laugh at at all, the smiles on their faces are a little stiff and a little fake.
However, Li Lei himself looked unfazed, and in the face of Keane, who seemed to appreciate him, he did not show any joy on his face that he was favored by the captain of Manchester United and the Premier League bigwig Keane. Just nodded faintly, and did nothing else.
What he didn't know, though. As soon as everyone on the side saw him like this, his image of "crazy and boundless stunned" suddenly stabilized in their hearts.
This can be regarded as an unintentional willow, and the willow is shady. Just because of this, when greeting everyone one by one next, no Manchester United player will make any jokes with Li Lei, a rookie, with his old qualifications.
You must know that in any field of sports, bullying and bullying are a common unspoken rule. It may not be something excessive, overstepping, but at least pranks, running errands, and joking and amusing are almost certain.
For example, when Keane first arrived in England and joined Notink Forest, as a newcomer, he once polished the shoes and washed the socks for the old players in the team.
Of course, now that this kind of work is becoming more and more developed due to the commercialization of professional football, there will be special staff in the team to do it, and there will be no players to do it themselves. However, it is still relatively common to carry bags, buy water, sing emoji programs, etc. for veteran players.
However, it is conceivable that because of this little episode between Li Lei and Keane, at least these things will not happen to Li Lei. Because no one is sure that this stunned young man who dared to provoke and single-handedly Keane when he met him for the first time would suddenly burst out and beat himself up when he was bullying himself.
Li Lei's colorful hair and 190's burly man made them feel a little jealous at this moment.
Seeing that Li Lei began to greet other Manchester United players in a friendly manner, without repeating the previous episode with Keane, Phelan on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After the pleasantries, the United players began to go out and start their daily training routine. And Li Lei was kept by Phelan, and he had other things to do today besides signing a contract.
For example, pick the jersey number. Although in Ferguson's plan, Li Lei will stay more in the reserve team than in the first team for some time to come. But in terms of preparation, Li Lei already belongs to the first team after signing the contract, so choosing a jersey number is a must, which is a regular process.
"Kid, do you have any numbers you want? Of course, numbers 1-23 now almost all have owners, so you'd better pick a bigger number. Phelan said.
Speaking of the problem of the jersey number, Li Lei couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't give an answer right away, but thought about it for a while. If it's a random number, it's easy. But he didn't want to do that.
Given his understanding of the goalkeeper's position as a defender of the restricted area, he feels that this position can be more intimidating, just like the big center in the NBA who sits in the restricted area and defends the key points. As soon as he thought of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help blurting out and asked, "No. 13, does anyone wear it?" ”
13. Because Judas was the thirteenth believer of Jesus, it was generally regarded as an ominous, demonic number in the Western world, where Christian voices were prevalent, and therefore unpopular. In most buildings, the 13 key has even been removed from the elevator button because of this.
And in the football world, although it is not that there are no players who wear the number 13, such as the former German goal machine Gerd Muller, but after all, it is a minority, at least in the current Manchester United team.
Although Ferran's first reaction was a little surprised that Li Lei would choose the number 13, he understood when he thought about Li Lei's unafraid appearance in front of Keane just now, and looked at his colorful hairstyle that didn't look like a good person. Since no one in the team chose this number, it doesn't matter if it is given to Li Lei.
But out of curiosity, before turning around to leave, Phelan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why did you choose No. 13?" ”
"Because I want people to be afraid of me." As soon as he heard Fei Lan's question, Li Lei, who had been cold-faced throughout the whole day, suddenly smiled and replied. This smile was so hearty that Li Lei smiled and showed his white teeth.
But I don't know why, when Phelan saw this smile, he felt a chill in his heart. In his eyes, Li Lei's white teeth were like the hideous fangs of some terrifying beast, glowing with a cold glow, murderous.
What Phelan didn't know was that what he felt at the moment was exactly what countless players felt when they saw Li Lei's signature smile. Of course, at that time, the "No. 13 Red Devil's Grin" had already shocked the world football world and was daunting.
At this moment, of course, Phelan didn't know that this smile would be so famous in the future. This smile only made him more sure that Li Lei, a young man, must be a difficult prickly thorn.
"Okay. Now, you can go to Alex's office, I think he's already waiting for you in the office. After explaining Ferguson's decision, Phelan turned and left to go about his business.
Li Lei is already familiar with Ferguson's office, and he no longer needs someone to lead the way. After seeing Phelan leave, he also turned around and walked towards Ferguson's office by himself.
"How's it going, have you already said hello to your future teammates? Not frightened, right? After seeing Li Lei walk into the office, the first thing Ferguson said when he looked up was this. His tone was full of deep meaning, and his gaze at Li Lei was also full of fun. In the end, it was the actual ruler of Carrington, and he was obviously already aware of the episode that had taken place between Lee Lei and Keane.
However, what Li Lei didn't know was. As early as today, last night, Ferguson had already called Keane in advance to inform him about Li Lei and ask him to help a lot.
The young player who can make Ferguson so interested, Keane on the other end of the phone showed a lot of interest in Li Lei at that time. While agreeing to Ferguson's request, he put forward the idea that he wanted to try Li Lei's "two pounds".
So, in fact, Ferguson already knew what happened between Li Lei and Keane in the locker room. It's just that he didn't tell Li Lei in advance, this sometimes childlike Scottish old man is sometimes happy to be a spectator.
"Hmm." Just looking at Ferguson's look with a strange smile, Li Lei knew what the old man was thinking, he rolled his eyes helplessly, and just responded casually and plainly. He didn't have any idea of matching Ferguson's bad taste.
It's just that he himself is unwilling to return, but after Ferguson saw his helpless look of rolling his eyes, the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but become bigger.
After being happy for a while, Ferguson smiled skillfully and talked to Li Lei about business. Looking at Li Lei's eyes, with a sense of reminder, he said seriously: "Are you ready?" The news of your signing has been posted on the team's official website. I'm afraid it won't take half a day for your name to be the focus of a frenzied chase by the media all over England. ”
In the face of Ferguson's solemn tone, Li Lei still had a cold face, nodded, and said a little indifferently: "Whatever." Anyway, it's just like a mad dog, following me. ”
Seeing him like this, Ferguson couldn't help but remind him again, and said seriously: "Then you should know." As long as they see the flesh and bones, these mad dogs will definitely pounce on them like madmen, and they will not stop without taking a bite of the meat. ”
"Then throw other people's meat to them." Li Lei shrugged his shoulders and said with a sneer that didn't care.
Ferguson was right, at the same time as the two of them were talking, after the news and photos of Li Lei's signing were announced on Manchester United's official website without warning, the editor-in-chief of the sports newspaper was already angry at his subordinates.
“FU*CK! What are you bastards doing for food?! Why didn't we have any advance news about this signing, where did this damn yellow kid come from!! Who is he?!! Why, until now, no one has been able to answer my question?! Did he get out of Ferguson's toilet?!! ”
"Go! Give me Carrington!! Within 1 hour, I need to know all the information about this yellow boy. Family, age, nationality, all these documents, I want! Remember, it's all!! I don't care what means you use!! ”
"Go! Just go!! ”
“GO!!!”
At this time, the editor-in-chief was walking back and forth in the office like a patient with convulsions. He yelled in front of his subordinates like a madman, waving his eyes constantly, his muscles exposed, and his eyes wide.
How hideous this look!
It's like a mad dog!
I saw a mad dog with meat and bones!!
