West Ham United is one of the oldest clubs in the history of English football. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the history is not glorious, its youth training work is a well-known set. It is known as the "football school" in England, and has sent many outstanding youth talents to all levels of English leagues, and is a veritable "star factory".

In a way, its significance to English football as a whole is even more profound than Manchester United's world-famous Carrington Academy. Manchester United's Carrington Academy is more famous and has more superstar brands, but it is a mix of young talents from all over the world. In terms of the cultivation of young players in the UK, West Ham United's youth base is undoubtedly the one that contributes more.

This is something that West Ham fans have always been proud of. Even against a team like Manchester United, they can pat their chests and proudly say, "Our team has the most orthodox English blood, you damn giants!" ”

So, it's a club with its own unique history.

But to the dismay of West Ham fans, the team they were proud of was unexpectedly relegated from the Premier League last season and became a Championship side this season. Thankfully, with veteran coach Edwin Allan Reading at the top of the Championship table this season, it will not be difficult to regain promotion to the Premier League next season.

This is not a good result for West Ham fans to raise, but it has at least boosted their spirits and confidence in the team's future prospects.

Under such circumstances, encountering Manchester United, which is in turmoil, West Ham United fans will inevitably have a few different thoughts in their hearts. Although they are one of the best representatives of grassroots football in England, grassroots is grassroots, and they inevitably have hatred of the rich in their hearts.

The team is in good condition, the morale is high, and it happened to meet the weak Manchester United in Pingyang, if you don't seize this rare opportunity to bully, when will it wait.

And, coincidentally, this mentality of West Ham fans happened to coincide with Carroll's "shouting grievances" interview, which combined with the two, and it would be strange if things were not too big.

In fact, the blatant fight between Carroll and Li Lei was reported by a powerful media reporter as early as Carroll's hasty transfer to Manchester United at the beginning of the season. Therefore, Carroll's "crying out for grievances" seems fierce and miserable, but it is no new news for the reporters on Fleet Street.

If it weren't for Li Lei, Ferguson and Manchester United were in an unfavorable whirlpool of public opinion recently, and this could just be used as one of the bases for joining the criticism, and if they joined this wave of criticism of Ferguson and Manchester United, I am afraid that they would not have been reported by the English media at all.

But what these powerful journalists couldn't have imagined was that West Ham fans would react so strongly to the reports. They were just using this to criticize Ferguson's chaotic operation in the transfer market this season, but they didn't want to bring Li Lei, after all, Li Lei's excellent performance so far this season has long made them forget which onion Carol is.

But this situation has taken a huge turn for West Ham fans. Given Carroll's good performance since joining West Ham United, Ferguson's "blinding tricks" are naturally one of their focuses, but they have not ignored the presence of Li Lei, a young Asian goalkeeper.

West Ham are one of the most important English teams with English roots, but that in itself means they have an ambiguous attitude towards foreign players. Although Li Lei himself has English nationality, his yellow skin is enough to make these "traditional" West Ham fans forget this.

In the UK, football journalists and media are often very sensitive to the emotions and opinions of fans. Therefore, these views and emotions of West Ham fans were quickly promoted by the local media where West Ham United is located.

Then, in the local area of West Ham United, a storm of public opinion against Li Lei naturally took shape.

I don't know if it was influenced by the views and emotions of the fans, anyway, when interviewed by the media before the game, the remarks made by the West Ham United team in the interview with reporters were on the same front as their fans.

Among them, Alan Padu, as the manager of West Ham United, has bluntly expressed his support and sympathy for Carroll.

"Roy [Carroll] is undoubtedly a good goalkeeper and deserves respect. The reason why we are now able to achieve this in the table is that his contribution is unquestionable. Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United certainly deserve all of our respect, but their approach to Roy is unfair. I didn't see the so-called young talent goalkeeper Lee play, but I think Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United will regret that unfair decision they made in the future. The talent of a player is important, of course, but the future development may be even more important, and it is a young man who can cause trouble, and the career path of such a player is always shorter and not smooth. ”

"Gotta win the game? No, no, no, our top management did not set us such goals. But one thing is for sure, Roy is part of our team, and if he wants to do something about it, then we're going to give him our full back. ”

Alan Padu's words may sound tactful, but they are in fact a clear expression of his thoughts. To put it simply, we will fully support Carroll in the game and let him complete his revenge on Manchester United and Li Lei.

When a team's manager has made a point of view, as long as he doesn't lose control of the dressing room, it's hard to find players in his team who openly share their views against him, which is a very realistic philosophy of social survival.

So when Manchester United came to the location of West Ham United to prepare for the game, the scene of the whole West Ham United team openly targeting themselves was naturally shown in front of Li Lei through TV.

To be honest, he was a little baffled when he first saw the West Ham team making implicitly hostile remarks against him on television. I don't know why these people are all salty and don't worry about it, they care so much about what happened between him and Carol, and they all want to get "justice" for Carol one by one.

He didn't expect that he was just the target of West Ham United, a grassroots hater of the rich who were currently triumphant, which was both a back-and-out and a gun.

However, with his cleverness, if he thought about it, he would definitely be able to figure it out. However, he simply thought about it, or didn't bother to think about it at all.

First, after competing with teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal, Li Lei's vision has also become higher. He doesn't care what West Ham's place in English football history is, and a current Championship side simply doesn't have any interest in what he wants to know.

Second, he has always been a person who pays more attention to the process and the results. He doesn't care why others provoke him, it's the key that others have provoked him. It's the same here, he doesn't care why the whole team is targeting him, he just needs to know that the whole team has become the enemy he has to fight back.

Third, recently, whether it is Manchester United or his personal unhappiness, it has made him hold his stomach again. In terms of his character, if you have the time to understand why the whole team of West Ham is targeting him, it is better to think about how he will fight back.

There are these three reasons, Li Lei is actually happy in his heart for the sudden jump out of Alain Pardu, no way, what is this, this is the sandbag he sent to the door, the joy of heaven.

Originally, when Li Lei saw Carroll's interview, he was still worried about how he was going to fight this Northern Irishman. After all, in the game, he and Carroll were separated by a whole stadium and did not see each other.

It's good now, with the presence of Alan Paddu and West Ham fans, he is not afraid that his cannon will not reach Carol's mosquito.

It's just that at this time, Li Lei didn't expect that in this game, the direct face-to-face conversation between him and Carol, which he was originally not hoping for, did happen, and it was in a way that he didn't expect at all.

On the day of the match, London had a rare sunny day, with the evening sky over Upton Park being cloudless.

It's a pity that on such a good day, Li Lei is not an uninvited guest on this stadium.

"Roy—"

"Carol!!"

"Roy—"

"Carol!!"

......

When he just followed his teammates into the stadium, which can accommodate more than 35,000 people, the DJ on the scene and the West Ham United fans who were waiting for him immediately cooperated and tacitly gave Li Lei a dismount. As a player who has just joined West Ham United this season, with Carroll's qualifications and strength, he simply cannot enjoy such a grand treatment at the whole game, and the implication against Li Lei is too obvious, as long as he is not a fool, he should be able to see it.

It's just that West Ham fans may not have paid attention to the Premier League for too long, if they have carefully read the news about Li Lei, they should know that even at Anfield Stadium, Li Lei dares to be presumptuous, how can they scare Li Lei in this little battle.

On the contrary, the reporters who were attracted by the West Ham side's overreaction to Li Lei before the game knew Li Lei better. At this time, they had already pointed the camera lenses in their hands at Li Lei, who was standing in the arena sneering, waiting for Li Lei to "enjoy the meal".

And Li Lei did not disappoint them, I have to say that sometimes the one who knows you best is often your enemy.

Because the director of the scene at this time also sensitively aimed the camera at Li Lei's face, everything Li Lei did next was clearly displayed on the big screen at the scene.

At this time, the deafening cheers of West Ham fans were still resounding over Upton Park, and the smug look on Carroll's face was clearly visible.

However, at this time, under everyone's attention, Li Lei used an ordinary, even the most ordinary action, to easily resolve the seemingly overwhelming situation in front of him.

"Phew!"

On the big screen at the scene, I saw him open his mouth and spit lightly, spit on the ground casually, and then the corners of his mouth were bent, his eyes narrowed, and two words were written on his whole face - disdain!

The scene was silent!

It's a light blow, and a heavy blow!

How dare he?! How dare you?!!

"Shh!!h

After a brief silence, the shrill boos of the West Ham fans erupted instantly!

However, this only made the corners of Li Lei's mouth curl more.
