Chapter 54: A Hot Opening
'I don't know what everybody in front of the TV is saying, but it's definitely going to go down in the history of the Premier League, I've never seen a goalkeeper in the Premier League who can steal the spotlight like that. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "The Sky Sports commentator who shouted God just now said with a sigh after seeing Li Lei's triumphant wink.
And he's not the only one who agrees with him. At least judging from the fact that the on-site broadcast director has been taking out a camera alone to shoot Li Lei, in the eyes of this director, Li Lei already has the same show-stealing strength as a superstar.
It's just that, compared to Manchester United fans and neutral fans who like to watch the excitement, Arsenal fans will definitely not have a good impression of this. Although Li Lei has not collided with them head-on a few times, the degree of disgust and resentment in their hearts towards this colorful Asian kid has exceeded that of Keane and others, and the level of players who are close to the sworn enemy Tottenham Hotspur.
Finally, when "God Save the Queen" is over, Arsenal fans no longer have to suppress their inner anger. Anyway, they have already made up their minds to make Li Lei, a rookie who "doesn't know the height of the sky", look good. As long as Li Lei appeared on the big screen at the scene, they couldn't help but boo, and this enthusiasm was the same as seeing the "murderer of his father".
After the national anthem, it was time for the handshake ceremony before the game. This ceremony, which was originally irrelevant to the overall situation, was not harmful, and would not have attracted anyone's attention at all, attracted the attention of all the media and reporters at this moment.
Of course, the focus of attention is naturally on Li Lei, who is standing on the court with a calm face at this moment. They have a hunch that since there has been such a big disturbance before the national anthem is played, there is no reason to spend it peacefully at this moment.
They simply don't believe that the arrogant Arsenal players will let Li Lei, a rookie, be so unscrupulous on the pitch of the Emirates Stadium, and they will definitely retaliate.
In fact, they were right.
Lehmann was at the head of the Arsenal squad and was the first Arsenal player to start shaking hands with Manchester United. Li Lei, on the other hand, is at the end of the United queue and will be the last Manchester United player to shake hands with an Arsenal player.
Under such circumstances, when Lehmann finally came to Li Lei after shaking hands with other Manchester United players, the cameras at the scene and the cameras in the hands of reporters on the sidelines were immediately focused on the two of them, for fear of missing any possible exciting pictures.
Although there was a possibility that nothing would happen, the German goalkeeper did not disappoint them.
I saw that in their shots, when the Germans came to Li Lei, his face suddenly became cold and expressionless, and then he was like there was no such thing as Li Lei, a big living person, and he didn't even mean to stretch out his hand, he trotted directly from Li Lei and hurried by, as if Li Lei was a ghost who could not be seen under the blue sky and white sun.
"Click, click, click...."
As soon as this shot appeared, the scene immediately sounded like flowing water and kept pressing the shutter, and there was no gap at all. At this point, reporters didn't think of film as a valuable thing at all.
At the same time, this scene naturally did not have too live cameras, and was directly put on the big screen of the scene. For a while, there was a loud and proud applause and cheers among the Arsenal fans in the stands.
The Arsenal players after Lehmann did the same, just like Lehmann, passing directly in front of Li Lei, as if he didn't exist. Since then, every time Li Lei hurriedly walks in front of an Arsenal player, the applause and cheers of the Arsenal fans will become louder, even more lively than Arsenal scoring a goal and winning the game.
Seeing this, Manchester United was naturally unhappy, how could they be willing to see Li Lei, the little brother, suffer like this. If at the outset, Manchester United hadn't noticed anything wrong. Then after a while, there was a lot of movement from the Arsenal fans, and no matter how slow they were, they had already noticed that something was wrong.
In addition to the boos from the United fans and Ferguson's complaints about the displeasure of the fourth official on the sidelines, the United players on the pitch have also taken action.
Although Ruud van Nistelrooy and others, who were at the forefront of Manchester United's team, had no time to react, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes at the back of the queue immediately began to counteract. They also immediately put their hands behind their backs, just like the Arsenal players ignored Li Lei, they also ignored the Arsenal players.
Naturally, they did so and immediately got the glaring glances of the Arsenal players who had already stretched out their hands, but they didn't care. In this way, in the end, this handshake ceremony that showed the competitive spirit of friendship first and competition second can be regarded as nullified.
When Li Lei and the others were the last, the players on both sides ignored their opponents and hurriedly passed by.
Although the game has not yet begun, the strong smell of gunpowder between the rivalries and competition between the players of the two sides immediately permeated the entire Emirates Stadium. Although Arsenal at home overwhelmed the visiting Manchester United in terms of momentum, Manchester United, known as the Red Devil, is not afraid of this at all, and the formation that can scare them has not yet appeared in the world.
Although the two sides had a good fight in the pre-match ceremony this time, it was bitter for the referee team of the game.
In particular, the referee who had previously issued an unprecedented verbal warning to Li Lei had a headache at this moment, and at this time he could imagine in his mind what kind of harsh law enforcement environment he would face after the game started. In any case, the referee has already made up his mind in his heart, and he will definitely pay close attention to the law enforcement standards of this game, and will never give the players on both sides any chance to find trouble, and strictly control their anger and actions.
Compared with this referee, Li Lei's heart is much more relaxed. In the handshake ceremony just now, although he was caught off guard by the Arsenal players, he quickly reacted.
As soon as Lyman walked in front of him, he immediately withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, and the whole person stood on the court weakly like a thug, and his right foot was still shaking.
At the same time, his head was tilted back slightly, his eyes were looking at the sky, as if he had seen a UFO, and his eyes did not move, allowing the Arsenal players to rush in front of him.
This kind of small trick seemed to him to be too childish, and it did not arouse any interest in him to counteract at all. If the Arsenal players dared to walk in front of him one by one and give him the middle finger, he might still be a little interested. It's just that at this low level, it's simply impossible.
By the time Keane and Vieira went to guess the coin with the referee, Li Lei had already arrived at the gate with a towel and a kettle. I have to say that this situation is still very new for him as a first-time starter.
After putting the towel and water bottle aside, he jumped up with some unbearable excitement, which was the last warm-up before the game. Seeing him look a little excited, Ferdinand, who had already been notified by Ferguson before the game, immediately stepped forward and told Li Lei: "Lee, stay calm, remember not to get too excited." Remember to keep in touch with me at all times, understand? Sometimes, we need your reminder to fill in the fill-in. ”
"I see, Leo. The old man specially explained something to you before the game. Li Lei nodded and said without surprise.
Ferdinand smiled and said nothing.
By the end of the guessing of the coin, the referee had already stood in the middle circle, and before the official start of the game, he told Li Lei again: "Li, the group of French guys in this game will definitely attack you with all their might, don't be scared by them, let alone fall for their agitation." ”
To be honest, with Ferdinand's understanding of Li Lei during this time, he was worried that Li Lei, who was not stingy, would be afraid, and he was afraid that Li Lei's temper would be taken advantage of by the Arsenal players and fall for them.
Li Lei was clear about Ferdinand's worries, he smiled at Ferdinand, waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Leo, it's not me that you should be worried about, but them." Can you believe it, they won't play the whole game today. ”
This time, Li Lei smiled and showed his white teeth, glowing with a chilling light.
Facing such a confident Li Lei, Ferdinand had to smile bitterly and turned to leave. Although he appreciates Li Lei's self-confidence, he is still a little unconfident in Li Lei's violent temper, and he has already made up his mind that he must pay attention to Li Lei's emotional changes at any time after the next game starts.
But at this time, the worried Ferdinand and the confident Li Lei probably did not expect that the impact of the Arsenal players on Li Lei would come so soon after the start of the game.
Just one minute after the start of the game, the referee had to blow the whistle for the game to be suspended. The reason is very simple, after the collision of the high-altitude ball in front of the goal just now, Li Lei, as the goalkeeper of Manchester United, was knocked to the ground hard, and covered his mouth in some pain, and did not stand up immediately.
In this regard, the Arsenal fans who were happy to see it instantly burst into boos, and they had to express their dissatisfaction with Li Lei's pretentious acting. The angry scolding of Manchester United fans who were dissatisfied with this was completely covered up by them.
Meanwhile, Ferguson and the United players on the sidelines were angrily expressing their displeasure.
Especially on the field, the players from both sides gathered together again, scolding, accusing and pushing each other with the smell of gunpowder. Under the boos of the Arsenal fans, the referee's eager and loud whistle kept sounding, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Fortunately, after Li Lei was examined by the Manchester United team doctor, he didn't have any probability, but he was punched in his mouth and bled a little.
Soon Li Lei stood up on his own, and then couldn't help but sip the small wound in his mouth. While sipping out some more blood, he immediately felt a piercing pain in his heart, which made him frown. It's not painful, it's regretful.
He suffered a loss and let people take advantage of him, and Li Lei was very dissatisfied with this.
At this time, he suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at him, and then looked up and saw the culprit who had just secretly elbowed his face in the air, staring at him coldly, sneering at the French defender Vieira.
Looking at him, Li Lei's anger suddenly erupted in his heart, but his face grinned and sneered, revealing his white teeth that were somewhat stained red with blood.
The more angry he was in his heart, the more he had a sneer on his face, which was also a major feature of Li Lei's expression of emotions.
As soon as the mouth opened, a trace of blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't care about swiping the index finger of his gloved right hand, and then when he looked down, he saw a scarlet blood on the black glove!
Then, while staring at Vieira with cold eyes as if he were looking at a dead thing, he lowered his head slightly with a sneer on his face, and stuck out his tongue to roll the blood back into his mouth. Feeling the rich smell of blood that filled his nose and mouth, the sneer on his face grinned again.
Li Lei at this moment is chilling.
With cold eyes and a bloody sneer, he looks like an avenging devil who has come out of hell!
His teeth, slightly red with blood, were once again exposed at this moment!
Garish!
Hideous!!
Terrifying!!
