In football, offense and defense are never separated, they are unified. This is true for both sides of the game and for one of the teams themselves.

For example, this time, when Li Lei saw that Fulham was almost fully pressed to participate in this corner kick attack, the first thing that came to his mind was not how to defend, but the team should take this great opportunity to counterattack.

Li Lei's personality is very decisive, and he always thinks of it. This time was no exception, before the corner kick was taken out, Li Lei took the opportunity to quietly call Giggs, who was just one step outside the edge of the penalty area.

"Ryan, your position is too close to the penalty area, in this case, my long pass will not be effective in a while."

What kind of old fritter is Giggs, as soon as he heard Li Lei's words, and then looked up at Li Lei's pretended casual look on his face at this time, he immediately understood Li Lei's intention to take the opportunity to fight back.

He was not surprised by this. After all, in a football game, it is not uncommon for an offensive opportunity to take a corner kick or a set-piece in front of the court, but not only does it not work, but it is not uncommon for the opponent to play a quick counterattack and lose the ball.

However, he had some doubts about Li Lei's suggestion at this time. Although he is not very responsible for defending in the United team, he is more or less a man, even standing as stupidly as a telephone pole can form a block for Fulham's attack from this corner and occupy their attacking space. The intention of taking the opportunity to counterattack is good, but what if there is no counter-attack opportunity at all, and Fulham takes advantage of this corner kick opportunity at this critical point in time.

The hesitation on Giggs's face, Li Lei knew it at a glance, immediately patted him on the shoulder, gave him a confident smile, and said, "You don't believe me?" ”

Since Li Lei has said this, Giggs naturally won't insist on anything. What's more, as long as he thought about Li Lei's previous series of reassuring performances, the worries in Giggs's heart were naturally put down.

Giggs nodded and said, "I see." ”

Before he was about to turn around and leave, Li Lei hurriedly added: "Call that Portuguese little white face too, one more person, I have one more passing route." ”

When he said this, Li Lei felt nausea twitching in his stomach. However, considering the importance of the game and the team, he also put aside the dislike of Ronaldo in his heart for the time being.

Seeing that Giggs found Ronaldo and whispered a few words, Ronaldo looked at him with a little shock, and then followed Giggs to move silently near the halfway, Li Lei immediately concentrated all his attention and put it on Fulham's upcoming corner kick attack.

He knows very well that whether the counter-attacking plan can be achieved in the end, whether he can get the football early in this corner attack is the key, whether it is to go straight to hold the football or save Fulham's possible shot.

Because it was about the 83rd minute of the game, as long as either side scored first, it was possible to directly determine the victory or defeat of the FA Cup quarterfinals, so at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the attack and defense of Fulham's corner kick, and no one noticed the movement of Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo at this moment.

No, not everyone, Ferguson on the sidelines noticed. Because of Ronaldo's height and bounce power, he also specially instructed the Portuguese youngster before the game to enter the penalty area more in corner kicks and set-piece defense to participate in the team's defense. It was precisely because of this that he noticed the unusual movement of Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs silently approaching near the halfline.

Thinking of Li Lei's deliberate talk to Giggs just now, the old man immediately guessed Li Lei's plan in his heart. Although such a move will bring some hidden dangers and risks to Manchester United's corner kick defense, he did not stop the actions of Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, but silently watched everything from the sidelines.

In terms of boldness, decisiveness and gambling at critical moments, Lao Shuai is not inferior to Li Lei. Therefore, this time he chose to push the boat with the current, acquiescing to the self-assertion of Li Lei, Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo.

At the same time, with a whistle from the referee on duty, Fulham's corner was finally opened. The Manchester United penalty area, which was already overcrowded because of Fulham's outpouring of the nest, immediately became a mess, and players from both sides were completely entangled in pulling, pushing and even blocking each other.

It stands to reason that in such a chaotic situation, the goalkeeper should not choose to attack, and the risk of a mistake is too great. But in Li Lei's eyes, such a situation is not in the tiger's den, but only in the tiger's den!

In particular, he will not hesitate to use his super dynamic vision to judge the high arc of the ball after Fulham's corner kick is opened.

Rear point!

To the astonishment of the United fans, he resolutely abandoned the goal, and after two big arrows, he immediately jumped with all his might, ignoring the two Ruud van Nistelrooy and Fulham centre-backs who were still tangling with each other in front of him.

Pregnant!

After holding the soccer ball in the air firmly with both hands, before Li Lei could feel happy in his heart, his lower body below the waist directly hit the heads of Vanney and Goma, and the whole body fell backwards backwards.

However, Li Lei did not panic at all. Before he even jumped, he had noticed that the football had slightly passed over the heads of Vanney and Govu, and as long as he wanted to jump up and hold the football, this scene was bound to happen, so he was prepared.

At the moment of holding the football, he immediately calmly brought the football back to his chest, lowered his head, and shrunk his entire upper body, ready to cope with the impact of the imminent fall.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Li Lei was like a kung fu master with a sturdy body, and at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground with the football in his arms, he immediately made a forward roll that he had already prepared to unload.

And after rolling for a week, he also got up and threw the football that he was still holding tightly in his arms, and when he rolled out of the penalty area, he himself stepped on the outside of the penalty area in great strides, and then adjusted his pace, waved his hands, leaned back with his body center of gravity, swung his legs, and made a posture of big feet and long passes.

At this time, everyone was stunned by his set of quick moves as if he was making an action movie, even the Fulham players who were supposed to return to defense immediately at this time were no exception, only Giggs and Ronaldo, who had already agreed with him, came back to their senses as soon as possible, and began to turn their heads and prepare for full speed.

If you can't catch this ball, see how I clean you up after the game!

When his right leg swung with all his strength slammed on the football like a golf club, and the football flew high with a dull "bang", and flew quickly in the direction of Ronaldo in the front field, Li Lei muttered fiercely to Ronaldo in his heart.

Fortunately, Ronaldo did not give him this opportunity. Because all the players of Fulham were shocked by Li Lei's action just now, although Li Lei's long pass to Ronaldo was a little large in advance, Ronaldo still relied on his own extremely fast speed, and after coming back to his senses, Fulham's left fullback Bocanegra, who rushed over in a panic, got the football before.

Coupled with Ryan Giggs, who rushed forward to the middle of the penalty area on the left side, Manchester United took advantage of Fulham's opportunity to press heavily in this corner kick attack, and instantly formed a 2-on-2 threatening attack between Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs against Fulham's two full-backs who stayed behind.

Rumble!!!

It was only at this moment that the Manchester United fans who had just recovered from the stadium reacted to what had just happened, and when they saw the team get such an excellent counterattack opportunity, the momentum of the whole stadium immediately shook like a flash flood!

Goal! Goal!! That's it, don't forget about the disappointment!

At the same time, as the organizer of this counterattack, Li Lei has been staring at the development of the situation in the front court after passing the ball. The whole person is like a sculpture and has been maintaining the posture after passing the ball, only his eyes are like scorching flames, burning violently.

And in the end, Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs did not disappoint his expectations.

When the two of them teamed up to play with Fulham's two full-backs, and finally Giggs pushed past Van der Sar's goal from close range, Li Lei, who had just been motionless, immediately came to life, and almost sprinted in front of Coleman amid the deafening cheers of the Manchester United fans in the stadium.

A burly and tall figure like Li Lei suddenly appeared in front of him, and Coleman, who had just been stunned by Giggs's goal, finally came back to his senses.

Although Coleman's appearance at this time was as if he had lost everything, although it was very miserable, after Li Lei saw it, he only felt comfortable and had no sympathy at all. Not to mention, let him stop, stop the next move, and let the Fulham manager go.

Under Coleman's dull gaze, who had obviously not had time to figure out what was going on, Li Lei suddenly smiled evilly, and then raised his hands in front of him, clenched his fists, and put on a boxing stance.

After a few punches, the slight punch that hung on Coleman's face finally made him sober up a little. It's just that everything that is happening in front of him makes him immediately turn black and frown angrily.

Seeing Coleman's angry look, clenching his fists, and threatening to punch someone at any time, Li Lei ignored it and continued the movement in his hands.

I saw Li Lei facing Coleman's face and punching him a few times, and immediately like a stunned boxer in the boxing ring, his tall body fell straight backwards.

But at this moment, the sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth clearly expressed that the person who was knocked down by technology was obviously not Li Lei himself, but Coleman, who was glaring at the ground with angry eyes at this time.

Looking at Li Lei, who was lying on the ground, pretending to be knocked unconscious and closing his eyes, Coleman was simply out of anger. He is ambitious for the future and thinks highly of himself, how can he stand Li Lei's wanton and complete humiliation in front of everyone in the world.

His eyes were staring at the corners of Li Lei's mouth that had not disappeared at this moment, but had become more and more obvious with contempt and disdain, and at this moment, Coleman's entire face was already a little angry and hideous!

Terrible!!

Even, ugly!!
