Chapter 141: The Mighty Arsenal and the Deathmatch Li Lei

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

When Li Lei firmly caught Vieira's powerful long-range shot, the Manchester United fans, who were still nervous just now, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave Li Lei a loud applause for his save. www.biquge.info Most of the people who came to watch the game were die-hard fans who knew the game, and they knew what a terrible situation it was for United to be given the lead by Arsenal so early.

"Lee, I'm sorry, our fault." When Li Lei stood up with the football, Ferdinand took the initiative to come over and apologize to him and take responsibility.

"It's okay." Li Lei just nodded and responded lightly, but he didn't think so.

Was Rio Ferdinand and the others at fault in this defence? Of course, it was their lack of preparation for Vieira's sudden dribbling to get rid of the forward assault and their failure to press forward in time that ultimately led to Vieira's shot. But it didn't hurt at all, it wasn't so much Ferdinand who made mistakes, but Arsenal's attack was so well organised and advanced.

In that situation, there is no defence in world football today that can guarantee that they can do better than the likes of Rio Ferdinand. At the very least, Rio Ferdinand's last-minute block interfered with Vieira's final shot, limiting the angle of the French midfielder's shot, and providing a great help to Li Lei's eventual successful save.

From this point of view, Li Lei did not blame Ferdinand in the slightest for this.

In football, you can't expect the central defenders to do everything well and never make mistakes, otherwise, what do goalkeepers like Li Lei have to do on the pitch.

What's more, no matter what, now is not a good time to hold accountable, and it is the enemy in front of us - Arsenal.

Li Lei looked at Henry and the others in front of him, his eyes were slightly condensed, and a trace of jealousy couldn't help but rise in his heart. Just from the Arsenal attack just now, he found something different from the previous two meetings with these Arsenal players, their temperament, momentum is different, and even sublimated.

Temperament and momentum, although they are very ethereal things, invisible and intangible, do exist on the football field. This is like the nobility of the thousand-year-old family consortium and the majesty of the superior...... And the players, and even the team, naturally have their own temperament and momentum on the football field.

Among them, the Red Devils Manchester United, as the hegemon of the Premier League, naturally also has. There are many players who play in the Premier League and have played against Manchester United have publicly said in front of the media that when facing Manchester United players on the field, they will involuntarily appear cowardly and retreat in their hearts. It can be said that this is the momentum and temperament that Ferguson's Red Devils empire has shaped for Manchester United players and even the entire team after dominating the Premier League for a long time.

And at this moment in Arsenal, Li Lei also felt the same thing, which was a kind of sword-like momentum and temperament that can only be felt in a winning division and even a champion division. He knows the Arsenal side are significantly closer than the two meetings they had at the start of the season.

This is the halfway point of the season, with 14 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss after 18 rounds. Although there is a saying in the world that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, only the victorious army can become arrogant soldiers.

Li Lei knows very well what the imposing Arsenal team in front of him is going to do in this game, they are going to avenge the defeat of the previous two meetings between him and Manchester United. Moreover, once they succeed, their morale and self-confidence will inevitably rise to a higher level on the basis of the current one, and they will be best prepared for the upcoming terrifying Christmas schedule.

At that time, Manchester United and Li Lei will be the morale-boosting sacrifices before their pledge. This is something that Li Lei, who has an arrogant personality, can never accept, as soon as he thinks of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light shone, and his eyes were full of cold murderous intent.

"Bang!"

Come on! After driving the football to the front court with a big kick, Li Lei's chest was boiling with fighting intent, and he shouted in his heart.

It's just that although he is full of fighting spirit, he can't change the fact that the current Arsenal team, which is close to reaching the peak, is higher than Manchester United, which is rebuilding, in terms of overall strength. Although in terms of momentum, Manchester United, who is playing at home, will never be inferior, but helpless to the difference in strength, Arsenal still gradually dominates the situation.

The heroic fighting spirit of the Manchester United players on the pitch did not stop Arsenal's attacking edge into the door guarded by Li Lei, making him one of the busiest men on the pitch.

In the ninth minute of the first half, Keane was fouled when he tackled Pire, giving Arsenal a well-placed set-piece opportunity. In the end, Pire's perfect arc banana ball gave Li Lei the biggest test since the start of the game. In the face of this set-piece shot that fell from an angle almost to the dead corner, Li Lei finally saved the football with his fingertips from the bottom line, making the entire Old Trafford stadium scream, full of exclamations of escape from death.

Manchester United fans once again gave a loud applause to Li Lei, who made a world-class save, but Li Lei did not have the slightest sense of joy. It's not that he doesn't like this kind of applause, but Pire's excellent quality set-piece is like a flare gun, and Arsenal's attacking firepower completely exploded after that, so that Li Lei, who was in front of the goal, didn't have the heart to enjoy the applause that belonged to him.

Just two minutes later, Bergkamp tested his nerves with another push from inside the United penalty area. This time, Arsenal used their trademark mercury-like small-scale subtlety to break through United's defence, and with Rio Ferdinand and their panickedness, the Ice Prince was given an unguarded kick.

Had it not been for Li Lei's amazing goal-line skills in front of goal, flying down to the ground and successfully blocking Bergkamp's must-finish with his toes, Arsenal would have broken the deadlock at Old Trafford.

At this moment, although the Manchester United players have a strong will to fight, they have not wavered in the face of Arsenal's almost unstoppable attack. But this is powerless to change, Arsenal's continuous sharp offensive has begun to make Li Lei in front of the goal a little unbearable.

Three minutes later, Arsenal were back in action. Henry, who showed a high offensive desire and excellent competitive form at the beginning of the game, finally showed his fangs for the first time, wanting to avenge Li Lei's revenge against him in the first leg of the league.

After winning the ball on the edge of the left side of the penalty area, Henry, who was in peak condition, faced Gary Neville's defense at all, did not make any feints to cover it up, but directly went forward, took a few big strides, and used his galloping speed to eat Gary Neville raw, and went directly into the Manchester United penalty area along the bottom line.

The red alarm sounded in front of Manchester United's goal in an instant, and Ferdinand and others instantly formed an encirclement with Henry as the core, and at the same time that any Arsenal player in the penalty area was closely guarded, Li Lei, the last line of defense in front of the goal, was not idle. He quickly moved to the near corner, spread his long arms, and sealed Henry's shot from the near corner.

But just as he was preoccupied with waiting for Henry's next move, King Highbury made a genius strike that he didn't expect. When Li Lei had just moved quickly to the near corner and did a good job of blocking, Henry suddenly rubbed the instep of his left foot, and dared to come directly before Ferdinand's arrival, and he actually came directly with an amazing almost zero-angle hanging shot, which was the courage of the artist! Genius imagination!!

In front of the 7.32-meter-long and 2.44-meter-high goal, no goalkeeper in the world can have the ability to protect all angles of the goal and be foolproof, not even Li Lei. Moreover, Arsenal's continuous offensive has made him a little flustered, in such a situation, it is not easy for him to block the near corner in time, as for Henry's lob in the far corner, he is really unprepared.

But if you don't prepare, it doesn't mean you give up.

Although he was not prepared to defend against this move at all, and when he reacted, the football had already passed over his head, and he did not give him any time to charge up and turn around to chase or jump, but Li Lei did not give up.

Looking up at the football in the air that had already reached him, he was completely red-eyed.

Damn it! Li Lei gritted his teeth, his legs burst out with a faint force at this time, and after barely staggering back a few steps, he jumped up with all his might, stretched out his long right arm with all his might, and desperately reached the seemingly unreachable ball in the air that was slowly falling.

At this moment, there is only one belief left in his mind, and that is to complete the save. Although the whole person was in the air, he didn't have the slightest idea of protecting himself, and all the strength of his body at the moment was studed into this almost desperate save, and he fought hard!

Fortunately, if Li Lei had the slightest hesitation and gave up, I am afraid he would not have been able to make this almost impossible save.

When his fingertips finally touched the ball that was about to start falling, Li Lei's face did not immediately show joy, he knew that this blocking power was not enough to ensure that he could block the shot, and he needed a little luck.

At this time, he had no strength to continue to support him in the air, and he was about to fall quickly under the pull of gravity. But he didn't have the slightest intention of preparing for protection, he just stared at the football in the air with blazing eyes, staring at it without blinking.

It wasn't until the ball that was slightly lifted by his fingers and climbed up a little distance to cross the crossbar, and in the process of falling, smashed on the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, his eyes relaxed, and the irrepressible joy began to beat in his eyes.

Until his whole body slammed sideways on the court, his internal organs were turned upside down a little uncomfortable, and the joy in his eyes did not converge in the slightest, but became more and more crazy! Publicity!! Wanton!!!

Some people will collapse under the pressure, while others will become stronger and stronger like a spring. There is no doubt that Li Lei is such a person.

"Ah!!h It was difficult to suppress the blood rushing in his heart, Li Lei didn't care about the discomfort and pain all over his body, but got up from the court all of a sudden, clenched his fists, glared angrily, and roared angrily.

At this moment, he was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly, his face was red, his muscles were exposed, and his face was like an angry and crazy beast, hideous and terrifying!

He roared in the sky, venting his fierce fighting spirit!!

Come on!

Come again!!

You're fucking coming again!!
