Chapter 273: Battle Henry (4)

Is Li Lei crazy? Did he not want to make it out of Highbury alive?

Lineker's two questions, if Li Lei did not answer them personally, it is estimated that there will never be an answer. But at this time, the Arsenal fans in the stands of Highbury Stadium blushed with red faces, and their mouths kept bursting with foul anger to the extreme, at least confirming some of Lineker's problems, that is, if Li Lei was thrown into the middle of these Arsenal fans at this time, he would never be able to get out of Highbury alive with two fists and four hands.

Li Lei's grimace at Henry once again stimulated the nerves of the Arsenal fans on the scene, and in an instant the stands where the Arsenal fans were located were restless again.

Especially in the Arsenal fan stands behind Li Lei, in addition to a small number of Arsenal fans who began to impact the security personnel on the side of the stands again, the Arsenal fans once again blocked the guns for Li Lei in the garbage thrown by Li Lei.

In the end, the referee on duty temporarily stopped the game with a wry smile, came to Li Lei, and gave him a verbal warning, hoping that he could control his emotions a little and stop teasing the emotions of the home Arsenal fans.

Of course, the referee selectively ignored the deafening cries of Arsenal fans to "give him a yellow card".

After all, Li Lei's grimace against Henry really can't find anything wrong, and this is not an obvious humiliating provocation against Arsenal fans, but just a competition and provocation between players.

In fact, even according to the original wishes of the referee on duty, if it weren't for the emotions of the Arsenal fans on the scene who were too excited at the moment, he was afraid that if Li Lei did something unscrupulously next, it might further stimulate the fans of the Arsenal fans and make a big incident, he would not even give Li Lei this verbal warning.

This was very obvious from the helpless and bitter smile on his face when he warned Li Lei.

And Li Lei obviously saw this, so he was very smart and behaved very honestly and well-behaved when accepting the referee's verbal warning. No matter what the referee said, he nodded yes and didn't talk back, which made him successfully leave a good impression in the referee's heart.

Looking at the back of the referee leaving after the verbal warning, thinking of the apologetic smile that the referee showed to himself before leaving, Li Lei couldn't help but show a very proud smile on the corner of his mouth.

In football, it's always good to have the referee's goodwill, and even if you don't need it for a while, it's a good idea to be prepared, and it's likely to play a huge key role at some point in the future. And even if you don't use it, there's no harm.

However, no matter what, this is also a matter for the future, Li Lei immediately restrained his smile and refocused on the game. Now that those provocative actions and grimaces against Henry have been made, if Henry is allowed to score again, then Li Lei's face will really be swollen. For the aggressive and competitive Li Lei, even if he died, he didn't want to see that scene coming.

It's just that what Li Lei, who was concentrating on the game at this time, didn't expect was that the goodwill he had just received from the referee did play a very ambiguous key role in a major judgment that would come soon in the future.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Arsenal, who had been storming around the United penalty area, had weakened their attack a little and were ready to adjust a little, when United took the opportunity to launch a sudden and dangerous attack.

After Li Lei rushed ahead of Henry and decisively confiscated Bergkamp's pick-and-roll pass, he just stood up with the football in his arms and raised his head, when he suddenly found that he had quietly turned around outside the penalty area to make an acceleration trend, and was facing Giggs who raised his hand to ask for the ball. In order not to attract the attention of the Arsenal players and avoid wasting time, Li Lei did not choose to use his feet to make long passes, but showed his hand-tossing skills.

"Bergkamp didn't have a chance to pick up a passβ€”β€”, Lee was a timely attack, Henry didn't have a chance to get the football. Ohβ€”β€”, hand toss?! It's Lee's hand-tossed ball to launch a counterattack! Oh God, he's thrown so far! It's almost halfway through! It's a counterattack! Manchester United's sudden counter-attacking opportunity!! The Arsenal players' attention was obviously a little unfocused at this moment, and there was no one to stop Giggs from getting the ball and speeding up! Laurenβ€”β€”, No, Giggs's nice change of direction accelerates, keep going! Paul Scholes β€”β€”, a beautiful one-two, Giggs followed the line into the Arsenal penalty area, and Campbell chased him. Down! Down!! Giggs suddenly collapsed in the box while making physical contact with Campbell, and the penalty kick was sought?! No! No!! Referee Bol signaled for the game to continue! Oh, Keane's tackle foul in frontcourt! The Manchester United players looked furious, and they collectively rushed to referee Bol to ask for an explanation, and Sir Alex Ferguson was also complaining to the fourth official on the sidelines, so let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. ”

'It was here that Campbell and Giggs had their first physical contact outside the box and Giggs lost his balance. It didn't look like a β€”β€”,, wait, when Campbell went to the ground, his hand pressed against Ryan Giggs's ankle, and it was the left side of Manchester United that finally fell to the ground. In that case, there is no doubt that it is a penalty! It's just a pity that the referee can't see the specific process of the matter between the lightning just now, and considering the current critical time point of almost the 70th minute of the game, it is understandable that Bol refused to award a penalty. However, it is clear that Manchester United will not be able to accept such a penalty, especially Ryan Giggs, and look at his excitement, but Arsenal have escaped anyway, and if they are awarded a penalty by Manchester United, their treble dream may be completely over. ”

Just as Lineker explained the ins and outs of the penalty to the fans watching the televised penalty, the unsuspecting Arsenal fans were angrily shouting at Ryan Giggs as a "fake" and a liar.

However, even if they knew that Giggs had fallen and it was a penalty, they would have done it now. When the team's own interests are at stake, it is almost impossible to keep the fans of this team fair and sane.

But at this time, Arsenal fans obviously did not expect that just 2 minutes later, they and Manchester United had a complete swap of status at the moment. They became the ones who angrily begged for a penalty like referee Bohl, and Manchester United became who they are now, mocking their opponents as "fake falls" and "liars".

And when Li Lei angrily lifted Henry, who fell in the Manchester United penalty area, their angry boos and insults reached an extreme.

The loud wave resounded over Highbury!

In the continuous heavy rain, the sky is shaken!!
