Chapter 151: Henry's Counterattack (2)
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Cristiano Ronaldo - ! With a clever follow-up shot, the deadlock of this game was finally broken. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Arsenal, who were playing with 10 men, finally showed a flaw in the defence in the face of Manchester United's fierce attack. Under a wild bombardment, Arsenal's panicked defense was pierced by Scholes's scalpel-like precision, and Giggs's push in the far corner was unfortunately blocked by Lehmann, but Cristiano, Manchester United's new No. 7, completed the most crucial blow with a beautiful follow-up shot when the whole performance was a little quiet. Nice hit! Crucial Blow!! Sir Alex Ferguson's new No.7 has the natural blood of a shooter! ......”
Just as the commentators were singing praises for Cristiano Ronaldo, the entire Old Trafford stadium also fell into a frenzy because of his goal, and the deafening victory cheers were wantonly vented over the stadium!
Just when Ferdinand and others rushed to the front court excitedly to celebrate with Ronaldo and them, Li Lei stayed alone in the backfield. The team scored and took the lead, of course he was very happy, but if he wanted to go and congratulate Ronaldo, the "little white-faced water worker", he would never be able to do it.
At some point, although he is very cunning, but at times like this one, he is often very clear and not fake at all.
However, this is one of the reasons why he did not rush to the front court to celebrate. As for the other reason...... Li Lei glanced at Henry who was on the edge of his own forbidden area, and a trace of deep jealousy involuntarily flashed in his eyes, now is not the time to relax and celebrate.
It was the 73rd minute of the second half, and with 10 men in charge, United were still in the lead, and it was at Old Trafford, not Highbury, that almost all the Arsenal players on the pitch bowed their heads in frustration. Compared to the good situation before Vieira was sent off, the huge difference brought about by the extremely poor situation at the moment made it really difficult for them to accept for a while, and their fighting spirit and morale inevitably suffered a major blow.
But there is only one person who is an exception, only one person is still holding his head high when Ronaldo scores, his eyes flashing with a cold edge and a murderous aura, Li Lei can't see any giving up from him, and even signs of being beaten to morale and reduced fighting spirit, this person is Arsenal's No. 14, the king of Highbury - Henry.
At this moment, Li Lei smelled a trace of a lone hero from the body of the top scorer in world football today, and the resolute and unyielding fighting spirit made him dare not have any thoughts of relaxation and relaxation, and instinctively felt a deadly threat in his heart.
As soon as the thought arose, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, feeling that he was now like a villain in a fairy tale, which was quite funny.
At this moment, Henry seemed to sense the eyes of Li Lei who had been looking at him, turned his head and glanced at him lightly, then turned around and walked towards the center circle arc, the game had to be restarted in the middle of the field. Slowly, the gaze in his eyes grew colder.
Hey...... Looking at Henry's upright back, Li Lei smiled dumbly, he could fully understand the meaning in his eyes just now. Interesting, then come on! Strong enemies have always been one of his favorite species due to his aggressive nature. Of course, Vieira's pests that he needed to destroy didn't count.
To be honest, Li Lei is really curious about how far Henry can go in the current extremely unfavorable game situation like today.
Arsene Wenger's decision to bring on Edu to bolster his defensive capabilities cannot be wrong, but Bergkamp's departure did have a huge impact on Arsenal's attacking firepower. Although the 34-year-old Ice Prince is no longer the main force of Arsenal's goals, his delicate and elegant organization in the front field is an indispensable lubricant in Arsenal's attacking line.
In this regard, Li Lei is perhaps the most experienced person in the Manchester United team. Without Bergkamp, the combination and transmission between Arsenal's attacking personnel is far less fluid, flashy and fast than before. If Arsenal's dazzling rapid passing in the front field made his eyes unable to keep up at all, and there was no way to talk about anticipating and preparing for Arsenal's attack, then this situation has changed now.
In fact, after Patrick Vieira's departure, Arsenal's attack did not weaken as much as previously suspected. Although the purpose of doing so is not all about scoring goals, and there is also the aim of reducing the pressure on the backline, the threat they create is real, but it is much less powerful.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, Arsenal's front-court passing is still smooth, fast and gorgeous, no different from before. But in Li Lei's view, there are earth-shaking changes between the two. In his eyes, Arsenal's offensive is no longer so unpredictable and difficult to guard, at least his eyes can keep up with Arsenal's attacking rhythm.
And as long as he keeps up with Arsenal's attacking tempo, it's time for his super dynamic vision to shine.
After Vieira went off the field and between Ronaldo's goal, although Arsenal also had two opportunities to kick the door and directly threaten Li Lei, he was easily resolved, and he no longer felt the huge pressure that he couldn't hold back before.
It can be said that since he plotted against Patrick Vieira, he has never felt threatened or dangerous in front of goal, except for Thierry Henry's tricky long-range shot from the opposite corner.
What do you want to do?! Riding the Savior Alone?!! ...... Looking at Henry's figure, Li Lei thought about it and raised his eyes, his eyes were scorching, and his fighting intent was boiling!
And soon, Henry gave his answer in front of Li Lei.
After the game restarted, looking at the uncontrollable joy on the faces of Ferdinand and others, Li Lei originally wanted to remind him out loud. But after thinking about it, there is still no exit, after all, after more than an hour of hard competition, it is not easy to take the lead at this moment, and I see the hope of defeating a strong mortal enemy, so it is natural to have fun, which is also human nature. At this time, if he pours cold water on his mouth, I am afraid that he will be a bad person in vain.
He gave up after thinking about it, after all, Ferdinand and the others are not pink rookies, maybe he doesn't need to do more, and nothing will happen.
But the facts soon proved that Li Lei's idea was indeed wrong. Just three minutes after the restart, Thierry Henry struck him in the face.
This time, it can't be said that Ferdinand and they made some irreparable negligent mistakes, but it is indeed their slight lack of concentration that led to the subsequent series of events. Perhaps, this is not a big mistake, this small problem is caught by any of the other strikers, or even Henry, who is not in peak form, I am afraid that there is no problem, but Henry in this game is just in the peak state.
There was a mistake in the midfield pass, and Keane's ball was poked away by Gilberto and came to the feet of Thierry Henry, who had withdrawn to receive the ball at some point.
If Ferdinand hadn't let Henry catch the ball so easily before Vieira was sent off, they would have been extremely cautious to follow the ball and not give Henry the opportunity to easily take the ball and turn around and accelerate. But this time, because of a slight lack of concentration, they were slightly slower to follow the pace of defense.
It doesn't seem to be too much of a problem in this way, because Ferdinand has already put it in front of Henry in time when he took the ball and turned around, and did not lose his position in defense, giving Henry space to easily dribble the ball and start at speed.
But I just don't know why, seeing this scene without any problems, Li Lei couldn't help but tense all the muscles in his body as if he had been electrified, and he felt an inexplicable sense of unease and crisis in his heart.
Li Lei is a person who trusts his instincts very much, and he immediately cheers up his spirit. And the facts have proved that his caution this time was not wrong.
While the entire Old Trafford stadium was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, Thierry Henry poured cold water on the heads of the 80,000 Manchester United fans with a stunning solo clearance. At this moment, except for Li Lei, none of them expected Henry to explode so suddenly! So sharp!!
Looking at the figure of Henry who suddenly disappeared in front of him, Ferdinand instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He never imagined that Henry would be so simple and easy, decisive and quick to get rid of himself completely with a crotch piercing person. At the moment when he just stopped in front of Henry, Henry saw the moment when Ferdinand's center of gravity was unstable, and directly stabbed the ball, drilled through Ferdinand's crotch, and kicked his legs with all his might, flashing past Ferdinand like lightning.
By the time Ferdinand adjusted his center of gravity and then turned around to chase, Henry, who had already driven his speed to the maximum yard in two big strides, had already thrown off a position of him, and he couldn't pull it even if he wanted to. Although Ferdinand did not give up and gritted his teeth desperately to chase, he was no longer able to stop the murderous Henry from killing Li Lei.
In an instant, the entire Old Trafford felt the powerful aura and cold murderous intent on Henry's body, and the piercing boos sounded in a panic.
Although Ljungberg and Pire firmly involved the defensive attention of Gary Neville and O'Shea, there was also a Sylvester in front of Henry, but they just couldn't suppress the uneasiness in their hearts, that is, they vaguely felt that Sylvester couldn't guard against Henry at all.
From this point of view, they are not alone, because Li Lei also thinks so.
At this moment, Li Lei could already feel that his palms were already full of sweat. He stared at Henry, who was rushing forward with the ball, but he didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, so he could only honestly stay in front of the goal, helping Sylvester but there was nothing he could do.
This time it was different from him attacking and cutting off the ball at Vieira's feet, and Vieira was holding the ball with his back to him, and he couldn't see his movements clearly. This time, however, Henry was staring straight at the door behind him. He dared to guarantee that as long as he made any move, Henry would dare to hang the door directly, and Henry, who was at his peak today, definitely had the confidence, strength and self-confidence.
Li Lei judged correctly, seeing that he was honestly guarding the door and did not make a rash attack, which made Henry, who had been staring at him closely, couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment in his eyes. Just now, King Highbury did have the idea of doing this, but Li Lei didn't attack as boldly as he expected.
Although Li Lei did not attack, Henry did not stop his wild pace. He quickly shook off the disappointment he had just made, and concentrated on dealing with Sylvester in front of him. There is no trick meaning, first slowed down to Silvestre, in the case that Sylvester did not dare to stretch his feet at all, and suddenly the ball accelerated, a simple change of rhythm, Henry used speed to eat Silvestre, strode after the football that was thrown out by him, and directly entered the Manchester United penalty area.
At the moment when Henry had just played the ball, Li Lei's eyes lit up, and then he made a decisive attack. Directly facing Thierry Henry's shot after making a save, he didn't have the confidence to make a save. Therefore, when this kind of opportunity to destroy the football before Henry shoots appears, Li Lei will not let it go.
It's just that when Li Lei just stepped forward at full speed, he suddenly became alert in his heart, it was too simple. This is too abnormal, Henry can't have left him with such a simple chance to defuse this offensive.
Li Lei's intuition was not wrong again, and at the moment when he just braked and stopped, Henry's eyes suddenly flashed, and he did not hesitate to wave his right foot and rub the football with the arch of his foot before Silvestre's blockade arrived. The acceleration of the ball just now was his trick to deliberately seduce Li Lei to attack, and he didn't take the ball far at all, but used Li Lei's superhuman reaction speed and dynamic vision.
This was a very clever move, and Li Lei almost fell for it.
But even so, when Li Lei forcibly stabilized his center of gravity and was about to turn around and chase back, the football had already passed over his head and fell straight to the top corner of the goal.
At this moment, the whole of Old Trafford was instantly dead silent! Manchester United fans could already smell the loss of the ball and Qi Qi covered his face in disappointment. Ferdinand and they were also powerless to stop the pace of pursuit, and their hearts were full of remorse, regret that they had just not noticed for a moment, giving Henry the opportunity to create this goal.
However, Li Lei did not give up!
Damn it! Staring at the football that was about to fly into the goal, Li Lei, who had just taken a big step back, jumped up directly in the direction of the football flight with all his strength. At this moment, he only had the football in the air in his eyes, stretched out his arms with all his might, and didn't care about the fact that he would hit the goalpost directly if he continued like this, and did not make any protective actions and psychological preparations.
His timely alertness and recklessness at this point created the only chance to stop the goal from happening.
He seized the opportunity.
Just when the football was about to fly over the goal line as a whole, Li Lei's fingertips arrived in time, and a slight touch changed the trajectory of the football. Then, the football was watched by Li Lei's fiery eyes and crashed into the goalpost in a thrilling way, but it jumped out of the bottom line, and Pire couldn't make up for it, and he was one step short.
It's a step away from a goal that makes a world of difference.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, the entire Old Trafford stadium exploded! The thrilling moment between hell and heaven drove all the Manchester United fans out of the crowd!
But at the same time, Li Lei, who completed the save, slammed his head and shoulder into the goalpost, and then fell directly into the goal and hit the net. All of a sudden, his head and shoulders were a little dizzy and numb, which made it impossible for him to stand up immediately for a moment to celebrate his victory in this direct conversation with Henry.
But in any case, Li Lei's heart is excited and passionate.
There was an irrepressible passion that burst out in his chest in an instant, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption! It's hard to suppress!! And with a scorching magma heat!!
At this moment, although he was hit and fell dizzy, he was already completely crazy like a wild horse on the inside! Crazy!!
Damn it!
Damn it!!
Damn it!!!
In addition to this, he was uncontrollably excited for a while, and he couldn't think of any other words to express his mood at the moment, so he could only scold in his heart in an infinite loop, in order to vent his crazy and uncontrollable emotions and passions in his heart at the moment.
Damn it!!!!
Fuck - !!!!
