Chapter 175: Hunting Anelka (2)
Although Li Lei immediately became very "interested" in Anelka, he still had to wait patiently if he wanted to get more contact with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, what patience and what to wait has never been something Li Lei likes to do, so it cannot be ruled out that he will do something to make his self-esteem very sensitive, and the arrogant Anelka takes the initiative to come to him.
Holding the football in his hand, looking at the back of Anelka who left angrily, and thinking back to the vicious eyes that stared at him before leaving, the cold smile on the corner of Li Lei's mouth couldn't help but expand.
It can be seen that he has very big expectations for Anelka, very interesting expectations, and there is even an irrepressible impatience in his eyes.
Moreover, it seems that God has the intention of helping Li Lei. Just when he originally thought that it would take a long time for Manchester City to organize a threatening counter-attack under the strong offensive pressure of Manchester United, to his surprise and everyone present, including Ferguson, Manchester City suddenly launched a wave of ferocious and active pressing throughout the field after this counter-attack.
This was really a surprise to the Manchester United players on the field, and in the panic, Manchester City, which had been pressed by Manchester United before, suddenly temporarily overwhelmed the originally dominant Manchester United in the situation.
Seeing this, Ferguson on the sidelines suddenly thought of a few gestures to Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton and others on the sidelines just after Li Lei completed the blocking of Anelka's shovel. Originally, he still didn't know what tricks this was for the old man who had become the laughing stock of England because of him, but at this time he had completely figured it out.
To be honest, Keegan's move Ferguson really didn't expect it at all, because in his impression, Keegan is the kind of beautiful attacking football that clings to his idealism, but he is a very dull head coach in the team's football tactical changes and on-the-spot command, and he is not a person who will throw off such a small trick on the field at this time.
If this were not the case, Newcastle, who had already been in Keegan, would not have been snatched from him by Ferguson with psychological tactics.
It's just that although Ferguson was very surprised by this, he didn't care very much. After figuring out what Keegan was playing, Ferguson's eyes couldn't help but show disdain, it seems that after all these years, you still haven't made much progress.
If at the beginning, when Manchester City took the initiative to retreat and play defensive counterattacks, Ferguson still had a feeling of being impressed by Keegan, then this feeling has long since disappeared at this moment, and there is nothing but disdain.
The former's amazement was due to the fact that he thought that Keegan had a decisive wisdom that he had never had before, and that he was no longer confined to beautiful offensive football.
The latter's disdain is because he sees through Keegan's two-faced swords, succumbing to the reality of the team's poor strength, and unwilling to give up his ideal pursuit, so he can only engage in some small tricks that cannot be put on the table, such as everything that is happening on the field at this time.
Although in the history of football, there are countless games in which strange tricks are won, but is it useless for Keegan to make these little tricks in this game, anyway, Ferguson is disdainful, thinking that Keegan is a tiger and not an anti-dog.
If Keegan's Manchester City had been bold in the opening game, Ferguson might have looked the other way. But at this moment, the Manchester United players have already played out of form and morale, Manchester City can only use this trick to kill the enemy, and hurt themselves 800, not to mention whether Manchester City can take advantage of this opportunity to score a goal, that is, they scored a goal by luck, Ferguson is also confident that Manchester United, who has played the state of the attacking line in this game, can get back at Old Trafford.
What's more, can Manchester City really take advantage of this short dominance to score? Looking at the tall figure of Li Lei standing in front of the gate of Manchester United, the corners of Ferguson's mouth couldn't help but ripple with a confident smile.
In the end, it turned out that Ferguson's judgment was not wrong, but there were some surprises in the process.
During the period when Manchester City suddenly changed their rhythm and began to press ferociously throughout the field, the Manchester United players were caught off guard and temporarily lost control of the situation and the advantage on the field, but they were very calm in the storm and waves, and they had already played their form in the first 16 minutes or so of the game.
Even the previously slightly gruffy youngster Fletcher has shown his maturity beyond the average player of his age during this period, and together with Phil Neville, he has blocked and disrupted most of the attacks that Manchester City wanted to launch during this time. So much so that it took a lot of effort to seize control of the football during this time, but could not organize a threatening attack, the Manchester City players and Keegan on the sidelines could only jump in a hurry.
For a while, Manchester City seemed to have the initiative and advantage on the field, but there was no chance to threaten Li Lei at all.
It wasn't until their sudden wave of full-court madness came to an end, in the 23rd minute of the first half, that it was Anelka's long-range shot from outside the penalty area that he really threatened Li Lei. However, even this cannot be said to be based on the quality and ability of Manchester City's players, luck is the main factor.
When Anelka's powerful long-range shot from the penalty area rubbed against the corner guard blocked by Fletcher's flying sliding tackle, and floated high above the head of Li Lei, who was standing near the line of the small penalty area, and began to fly slowly towards the gate behind him, all the Manchester United fans in the stadium were aware of the danger of losing the gate, and immediately gasped in unison.
At the same time, Li Lei was also shocked into a cold sweat. No matter how strong his dynamic eyesight is, he has no defense against Fletcher's sudden appearance and "help".
Groove !!
He tilted his head back, his eyes wide and stared at the soccer ball in the air, and he gritted his teeth and began to desperately turn and chase back. Due to the result of all the strength of his body bursting out in an instant, Li Lei's face couldn't help but turn red all of a sudden, and his muscles were exposed, looking as hideous and terrifying as a warrior fighting with the enemy on the ancient battlefield!
Fuck you!!
After he turned around and took two big lunges in the direction of the gate, he immediately leaned forward and jumped forward with all his might, his eyes still fixed on the football, his right arm had reached the limit, and he desperately reached the football with a sense of tearing.
When Li Lei finally rushed in front of the football goal and lifted the ball off the crossbar in a thrilling way, not only the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford went crazy, but even Lineker, who was commentating the game, couldn't help but shout excitedly: "It's Lee!" It's Lee again!! It was he who saved Manchester United! Saved Old Trafford!! Anelka's long-range shot that changed the line once gave Manchester City fans hope of scoring, but it was ruthlessly saved by Lee in the blink of an eye! He's so brave! It's so hard and indestructible!! He is the patron saint of this stadium!! I don't know what Sir Alex Ferguson is waiting for, so hand him over the position of Manchester United goalkeeper for the next 10 or even 20 years! What are you waiting for?!! What are you waiting for?!!! ”
Just when all Manchester United fans were cheering for Li Lei's wonderful save, he had just fallen into the goal unsuspectingly, and after being pulled up by the excited and happy Brown and Silvestre, Li Lei, who was still a little uncomfortable, didn't have time to celebrate, so he directly set his eyes on Anelka, who was standing outside the big penalty area.
It wasn't until he saw the incredulity, regret, chagrin and irrepressible anxiety in the eyes of the French striker that Li Lei smiled. It's just that the corners of his curved mouth are not drawn with joy, but with a cold and cruel meaning.
Because he knew that the prey he had taken a fancy to had already entered his circle of attack.
It's time to start hunting and enjoying yourself.
Compared with the cheers of the fans and the appreciation of his teammates, this is what stimulates Li Lei more and makes him more excited.
At this time, the cold and hideous meaning in his eyes could no longer be concealed, like a vicious wolf!
Also like a butcher!!
