Gradually becoming more and more difficult, this is not the personal feeling of Li Lei, who guards in front of Manchester United's goal. Soon, people watching the game also discovered this.

One of the commentators who supported Manchester United said with concern: "Our players have been so bad so far in this game, and they have been completely suppressed by the Manchester City people playing at home. Although relying on Lee's wonderful performance, our door has not been breached so far. But no matter how good he is, he can't maintain the superhuman save success rate and the number of saves in the first 20 minutes of this game for the whole game, and Ferguson and the players on the pitch at Manchester United will have to hurry up and find a way to take a little pressure off Lee, otherwise our goal could be breached by the damned Manchester City players at any time......"

Ferguson on the sidelines and the United players on the pitch clearly did the same. Inspired by Alex Ferguson's trademark 'hair dryer' on the sidelines, after the 20th minute of the first half, the United players finally seemed to wake up and organise several effective attacks, no longer completely sleepwalking as before.

Among them, Saha, who partnered Ruud van Nistelrooy as a two-striker in this game, became the most active point in Manchester United's attacking line. It seems that compared to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who played the entire second leg of the Champions League knockout round with Porto, the French striker, who was in poor form that day, and the French striker, who was replaced early, was undoubtedly in better physical and mental condition today.

In the 24th minute of the first half, United's belated first shot on target of the game came from his feet. On the edge of the penalty area, after getting Scholes's through ball, before the Manchester City central defenders blocked it, he turned around and fired a wonderful long-range shot with excellent quality, which tested Manchester City's American goalkeeper James. It also made the Manchester City fans who had been excited and cheering constantly at the scene couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time, they also had a rare cold sweat.

Since then, although Manchester United has not played a more threatening attack than this attack, it has also stimulated the sensitive nerves of Manchester City's backline, so that it does not dare to insert assists as frequently as in the first 20 minutes, ignoring the threat of Manchester United's attacking line.

In this regard, this did indirectly help Li Lei in the backfield to relieve some of the pressure in front of goal.

It's just that this is a bit of a drop in the bucket, not enough to quench your thirst.

At the very least, it didn't scare Manchester City coach Keegan on the sidelines. When Manchester City's back line showed some conservatism on the field, and was no longer actively involved in the attack, he immediately came to the sideline decisively, and personally gave strong offensive instructions to Manchester City's back line players with a gesture of constantly recovering the press.

Obviously, this old coach is really ruthless today. Ignoring the threat posed by Manchester United's attacking line to Manchester City's backline, it is to take advantage of the weakness of all Manchester United's players who are not in physical and mental condition today, and use the team's strong pressing attack at home to destroy Manchester United's defense.

This ruthlessness, even Ferguson on the side couldn't help but look sideways when he saw it. He obviously didn't expect that he and Manchester United would be resented in Keegan's heart to such an extent that he would force this good old man, a perfectionist, who had always been a little indecisive, to take risks like a gambler.

Not to mention whether such a tactical decision is correct or not, but in terms of the effect on the field, it is really very good. Because, although the collective pressing of Manchester City's back line has really left a hidden danger in front of Manchester United's attacking line, at least until now, the attacking line of Manchester United, which is not in good form today, has not shown an obvious trend of breaking through Manchester City's door.

Moreover, affected by this tactic, although at this time, with the progress of the game, the adaptation of Manchester United players and the physical strength of Manchester City players, Li Lei is now under less pressure in front of the goal than at the beginning of the game, but this is only relative, it is no exaggeration to say that the situation facing Li Lei in front of the goal is still grim.

Had it not been for that, in the 28th minute of the first half, he would not have once again played his incomplete goalkeeper style in the Manchester derby, which was trying to win steadily.

Knowing that Manchester City continued to bombard the gate he guarded so frequently, and it was very likely that he would not know when the gate would be lost, Li Lei immediately decided to sacrifice the doorman again. Expanding his own control and increasing the number of defenders in front of and behind the United goal will try to reduce the number of shots City can have at the end of the attack, and in doing so, finally consolidate the defense behind him.

This move must be a very risky move, but in the face of the current predicament, the method of seeking stability and safety will definitely not be able to break the situation, so we have to rely on this kind of strange trick and dangerous move. Moreover, in terms of the defensive situation this time alone, Li Lei's goalkeeper style of play has indeed achieved extremely good results.

When Allassen took advantage of the one-two cooperation between the two and Bosvelt, dodged the doppelganger Keane, and drove straight to the Manchester United penalty area with the ball, everyone's attention was attracted by the football at Alanson's feet, and no one noticed that Li Lei in front of the goal at this time not immediately retreated to the goal, but cautiously, quietly paced slowly in the direction of leaving the goal, and soon his position quietly came to the position of Gary Neville and Brown. It looks like he's become the third centre-back in the Manchester United penalty area, not like a goalkeeper at all.

Of course, at the same time, Li Lei was also engrossed in watching the ball at Alassen's feet, and while his eyes did not blink, his body was also slightly sideways, his center of gravity leaned back, and he maintained a posture that he could immediately return to the goal at full speed at any time.

This is to prevent Alathan from noticing his position and suddenly shooting directly on a whim, which can be regarded as a protective measure.

But this time, he was clearly a little overwhelmed. Allassen didn't notice him at all, but single-mindedly took the ball almost 28 metres away from the United goal, lured Gary Neville out, and with a toe pick, he passed the ball behind him, and was about to turn and accelerate away from Anelka, who was next to Brown.

As long as you can catch up with the football, it's definitely a great opportunity to shoot straight at goal. Faced with this, Anelka was naturally excited. But as soon as he turned around, a tall black burly figure suddenly flashed to his side, and suddenly he was stuck, stuck in front of him and the football.

This is? That damn Asian kid! When did he show up here?!!

Just as Anelka's mind recognized who the black figure was, his body instinctively forced it to hit and squeeze Li Lei in front of him, which is the typical instinct of a center forward he has developed after a long training session.

But with his temporary strength, he obviously couldn't hit Li Lei, who had been prepared for this for a long time.

"Oh!!"

I saw that in the penalty area, wearing a black jersey, Li Lei, who had been prepared, was just a "slight" shrug, and the tall Anelka was directly carried to the ground by him in the neat surprise and uproar of the Manchester City fans, and he could only watch Li Lei then hand over the football to Brown on the side, and finally Brown completed the final big foot clearance, which was somewhat unbelievably easy to resolve Manchester City's extremely threatening offensive that could have formed a shot in the penalty area and directly threatened Li Lei.

And, for the French striker, this is not the end.

When he had no choice but to see the attack being defused by Li Lei himself, he immediately held his stomach in hindsight and curled up like a cooked lobster on the court.

In the face of this rare opportunity to talk directly to Anelka, Li Lei is not the kind of person who can hold back and not move, honestly, just when he knocked over Anelka, his right elbow was a good meal for the French striker.

"Shh!!h

Looking down, Anelka, who had fallen at his feet, frowned and curled up in pain, Li Lei raised his eyebrows playfully, and showed a cold smile amid the harsh invectives and boos of the Manchester City fans in the audience.

It's like a hunter looking at the dead body of a prey!

Cold!!
