Because of Li Lei's impenetrable and insurmountable performance in front of the goal, the Bolton players on the field at this moment have a feeling of walking into an iron shed that is airtight and has no air conditioning in the hot summer, and it is unbearable.

I have to say that breaking through Li Lei's door at this moment has even become an obsession in the hearts of Bolton players, an almost crazy obsession.

With this crazy obsession, at the end of the first half, plus about six minutes of stoppage time, Bolton did not weaken the attack, but with a kind of crazy posture that does not succeed, and launched a desperate onslaught against Manchester United's defence.

It wasn't a sane attack, and because they pressed too much and put too much effort into the attacking end, they even left a huge gap for the Reds to counter-attack at the back of the Bolton defence. In terms of Bolton's overall strength, even in the face of Manchester United, which is currently in the semi-main lineup, this is not a thousand kills and eight hundred, but pure chronic suicide.

Without any commentator to narrate, even the most unprofessional fans can perceive the huge risks of Bolton's seemingly strong and heroic offensive when they see such a scene.

After seeing this crazy scene, the Bolton coach on the sidelines did not immediately speak out to stop his players' "death-seeking" behavior, but hesitated. He wouldn't have done that in normal times, but the Bolton player's super-level play in the first half made him hesitate.

If the players didn't have that level of form and performance in the second half, now would be the perfect time for us to equalise. As long as we can equalise before half-time, we can be on the same starting line with Manchester United again in the second half. In that case, even if the team doesn't perform like this again in the second half, the team can safely adopt a strategy of sticking to the penalty shootout to increase the few chances of winning. ......

With such a series of reflections, the series of benefits of equalising before the end of the first half were like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden tempting Bolton's manager to make the right decisions decisively. It's similar to the paranoid luck psychology of a gambler who has already lost all his money, knowing that he is making the wrong decision now, but because of the temptation that cannot be refused, he just can't stop.

In this state of mind, the Bolton manager stared at the progress of the game on the field with eager, anxious and even somewhat crazy eyes, waiting for the moment when the team broke through the gate guarded by Li Lei.

However, before the goal could be scored, United almost scared his heart to stop beating with a sharp and quick counterattack in the 43rd minute of the second half.

This time, the rapid counter-attack launched by the veteran Barton, who successfully broke the ball, after only three passes, shook off Bolton's aging defence with a beautiful anti-offside run, and received a precise long pass from Jemba, Uruguayan striker Forlan got a great one-on-one opportunity to face Bolton goalkeeper Jaskelainen alone.

In the end, if it weren't for the fact that his final shot on goal seemed a bit rushed, allowing the ball to be too far away from his supporting foot when shooting, and then allowing Jaskelanine to seize the opportunity to attack quickly and completely block Forlan's shot, the United fans in the Millennium Stadium would have been celebrating their team's Carabao Cup victory by now.

After all, even if the Manchester United squad on the field at the moment is only a semi-main lineup, Manchester United is still Manchester United, and it would be a miracle if a team like Bolton succeeded in overturning the game when leading by 2 goals in the final.

"Whew~"

While the United fans and players on the sidelines sighed at Forlan's missed golden opportunity to score, Ferguson on the sidelines looked very calm. Sitting on the coach's seat, with his hands around him, holding Erlang's legs, his expression was relaxed and calm, and there was no regret at all.

The old coach didn't mean to regret it at all, but he was completely overshadowed by his strong confidence that Manchester United would be able to take the lead in expanding the score before Bolton broke through Li Lei's goal.

glanced at Li Lei's location on the field from a distance, although he couldn't see Li Lei's face clearly, there was only a general outline and shadow, and the old man couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, since Peter (Schmeichel) left, there has been no such peace of mind for a long time.

At this time, Li Lei, who was engrossed in the game on the pitch, did not know that Ferguson was comparing him to Manchester United's legendary goalkeepers of the previous generation. This may be a rare honor for other young goalkeepers, but if Li Lei wants to know, I am afraid he will not be very happy.

Because for him with a strong and unruly personality, imposing someone else's image on him is definitely an unpleasant thing for him, no matter how good this person is.

For example, Schmeichel this time, if he knew, he might have done the following series of things, and immediately ran to Ferguson and asked him face-to-face, "Can that Schmeichel do the same as me".

After Forlan missed a single shot, the first half of this Carabao Cup semi-final officially entered the final offensive and defensive stages. In this case, the Bolton manager, who was about to be scared off just now, originally wanted to let the Bolton players on the field weaken the attack, so that the first half passed. But as soon as he raised his hand to shout at the venue to give an order, he hesitated again.

He even added another one to the original reason for hesitation - there is not much time left anyway, if he can't attack, there should be no problem, if so, it is better to play again.

With such a mentality, under his eager and eager gaze, the Bolton players, who had already killed the red eye, launched the last attack on the gate guarded by Li Lei in the first half.

It's not rational, but it's good. Okocha and Djokaeff, who had embarrassed United's left and right wing-backs and Fletcher respectively throughout the first half, were once again the main players in United's defence.

When Djokaeau, who did not force a breakthrough against Fletcher's defense throughout the first half, suddenly used the man to overscore the Manchester United youngsters in front of him this time, not only Fletcher, but even the entire Manchester United defense was caught off guard.

Seeing this, Li Lei in front of the door immediately tensed up his muscles and completely cheered up his nerves. When Djokaef got Fletcher firmly behind him and dribbled the ball along the line into the United penalty area, he immediately crouched down and blocked it to the near post with his open hands, leaving no space for Djokaef to shoot and ready to save as soon as Djokaeve's pass was close to his control.

However, at the same time, he also deliberately kept an eye in his heart. From the start of this league final to so far, he has seen how Djokaef has been sophisticated and cunning to take advantage of the young and energetic Fletcher, and without the flashy breakthrough ability of Okocha on the left, he can still maintain Bolton's attacking on the right as much as on the left.

This is the old fox, you have to pay attention!

Staring at Djokaf who was killing with the ball, Li Lei was so moved in his heart.

Obviously, his thoughts were not in vain. When he saw the corner of Djokaev's mouth with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth that had succeeded in his treacherous plan, his heart immediately snorted, his muscles tightened, and he instinctively responded.

Then, Djokaeff did not shoot directly on his own, nor did he pass the football to Davis and Flanderson in the middle of the goal, but directly rubbed the football gently, with a perfect arc over Li Lei's high head, and flew to the back point, Okocha did not know when to quietly shake off O'Shea's attention and ambush there.

Damn it! I knew it!!

As soon as the football crossed Li Lei's head, he reacted quickly, gritted his teeth and rushed desperately to the back point. However, due to the fact that the timing was still a step slower after all, when Okocha had not yet shot, he took the lead in taking a lunge forward, and immediately flew forward with all his strength and pounced sideways.

In the air, his eyes were fixed on Okocha and the football still in the air, and his eyes were shining, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

Damn it!

Come on!!

Damn it!!!
