"Manchester United have been looking for a goalkeeper for more than half a season, in fact, they have always been in their own team, it is hard to imagine that if Alex Ferguson had promoted his Asian pro to the top of the season at the beginning of the season, would Manchester United still be in the league as bad as they are now?"

......

Ahead of the Manchester derby, all eyes were on what Lee would do in his first league game as Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper.

Although I don't know what kind of spicy satirical reports the newspapers and media in England will do if Li Lei's performance is smashed, at the very least, the answer of how they will report when Li Lei's performance is excellent, or even amazing, has been answered.

Except for a few local media such as Liverpool and Leeds who are still sourly saying that Li Lei is just a game, and in the special key position of goalkeeper, which needs to be played steadily and well for a long time, it still needs more time to observe before reaching a conclusion, the voice of mainstream public opinion in England is inclined to praise Li Lei desperately without money.

Perhaps Li Lei himself doesn't care much about how the media praise him, or even satirize and scandalize himself, but these reports are a timely rain that Manchester United and Ferguson urgently need at this time. You must know that after being eliminated from the Champions League by Porto, this is the first time that there has been a voice in favor of Manchester United in the mainstream public opinion in England.

This is a boost for Manchester United's top management and the team, allowing them to temporarily get out of the whirlpool of unfavorable public opinion and relax for a while.

Moreover, it is not without benefits to Li Lei himself, at least with this trend of public opinion, Ferguson can straighten his waist and speak for Howard in front of the Manchester United executives who still have the heart to support Howard. From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as further consolidating the position of Manchester United's starting main goalkeeper under his ass, although he has never intended to rely on the public opinion of media reporters to secure his position, and only intends to rely on his own tough strength and performance to do so.

And that's exactly what he did. After the match with Manchester City, Li Lei once received an invitation from Ryan Giggs and others to be chic in the evening, but he refused without hesitation. After a good night's rest, the next morning, while the rest of the squad was resting at home, they went to Carrington on their own and threw themselves into training as usual.

The reason for this is that he naturally doesn't like to go to that kind of noisy place to play. When he was still working as a gangster in the slums, he had countless opportunities to go to that kind of place, but after only going there once, he immediately lost interest in that kind of place and never went again.

But that's not the main reason, it's just a part. If it was just because of this, then in order to build a good relationship with his teammates, he might have to endure it again, but there are more important reasons.

That is, the uneasiness in his heart.

I don't know if he suddenly got the position of Manchester United's starting main goalkeeper that he had dreamed of for a long time, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while, and it felt a little unreal, or because of the restless nature he had developed every day in the slums, anyway, he has always been unstable in his heart recently, and he always fantasizes from time to time whether someone will suddenly pop up to grab the position of Manchester United's main goalkeeper who has not yet sat hot, just like he did to Carroll and Howard before, I'm afraid that I won't know that I will be replaced one day in the future. There were a few nights when he even sat in such dreams.

Despite knowing that Alex Ferguson is there, and as long as there is no big downturn in his performance, such a situation is almost impossible to happen. But he couldn't help but think like this in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This one, he did not fight with Ferguson or Li Xin'er, but fought alone. There is a very realistic and tangible part of his personality, so in order to eliminate this sense of uneasiness, his method is to continue to train himself desperately and hard, and improve his strength to the point where he has nothing to say and cannot jump out of the way, in that case, he thinks that his position will definitely be completely consolidated at that time, and this sense of uneasiness will naturally be eliminated.

I have to, this method is a bit reckless and a little "stupid", but it is definitely the most realistic, the most impeccable, and the most beneficial and effective method for Li Lei himself.

In this hard training, Li Lei, who was sweating profusely, felt unprecedented stability in recent times.

"Li, the goalkeeper has opened his big foot to this day, and it is no longer just a means of clearing the siege, just like throwing the ball with his hands, which has become a direct means of initiating a certain offensive of the team at some point in the actual game, and even a direct assist. And in order to get to that point, you have to get into the habit of looking up and looking ahead as soon as you make a save. It's a good habit to have a very high level of concentration in your saves, much more than the average person, but now you have to get used to shifting your attention quickly. It's a matter of habit, and it must be consciously overcome and cultivated with a lot of training, understand? ”

Listening carefully to Richard's explanation, Li Lei shook his head and kept everything he had in mind. Everything these goalkeepers need to know anything other than making saves is what he desperately needs at the moment. Making up for this part of the gap will be his primary focus for a long time to come.

"Alright, let's do it again. Remember, control the arch of your foot, your shots, and your power. Especially for strength, we must remember that this kind of long pass nature is not the greater the strength, the better it must be. Before training started again, Richard told him again.

"Come on." Li Lei nodded and responded.

Then, the training starts again. I saw that after completing a save in the face of Richard's shot, he immediately got up from the ground, held the football and looked at the Manchester United coaching staff in front of him, who had imitated the actual game situation and made a team's counter-attacking posture. At the same time as the observation was completed, he immediately ran a few broken steps with the football in his arms, and then immediately threw the football, waved his right foot at the football, and "banged" in the air, and passed the football high with the instep to the staff who simulated the attacking arrow in the distance.

In the end, although the quality of this long pass seems to be good, strictly speaking, the force he uses is still larger, resulting in a large amount of advance.

For Li Leilai, who has always been extremely strict with himself, this is not a result worthy of his joy, but after witnessing his pass landing, Li Lei still couldn't help but smile on his face.

Because, from this long cross, he felt real progress.

This feeling is extremely wonderful for Li Leilai, who is a little uneasy in his heart now!

There is no substitute!!
