Chapter 200: The "Annoying" Li Lei (1)
Compared with the destruction of Bolton's self-confidence, Li Lei's indestructible performance like a protective god undoubtedly brings peace of mind and reliability to Manchester United players. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although in the first 30 minutes of the game alone, Manchester United's semi-starting lineup on the field not only did not form a suppression of Bolton, but was dominated by Bolton led by Okocha, who was in good form today, but the difference is that compared with the Bolton players who were repeatedly saved by Li Lei, despite having the upper hand, they were extremely impatient and eager in their hearts, because the Manchester United players with Li Lei guarding the rear were more calm and composed, and they played very calmly under the leadership of veterans such as Bart.
In layman's terms, it's about playing more like a team with a championship look. Although it was Bolton who had a slight upper hand on the pitch at the moment, the difference in mentality between the players on both sides gave the illusion that Bolton was already behind.
Lineker, who is also a commentator, was keenly aware of this, saying: "The performance of the Bolton players today is admirable, and under Okocha's leadership, they have not lost to Manchester United at all, and even have a certain advantage. But they're playing too impatiently now, and against a team like Manchester United, with that mentality, it's easy for them to take advantage of it......"
His partner Alan Hansen apparently agrees, but he is reluctant to say good things about United.
But whether he wants it or not, that's what happened on the field. Although the Bolton fans were the more active and loud in the stands at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in the first 30 minutes of the game, in the 35th minute of the first half, the veteran Manchester United delivered them a fatal blow on the pitch, and the deafening cheers of the United fans instantly dominated the entire Millennium Stadium.
By the 35th minute of the first half, both players had actually reached the first bottleneck of the game and needed some time to take a breather, especially when the Bolton players were too aggressive in the first 30 minutes. But their heads had been blinded by Li Lei's eagerness to guard the gate, and they still insisted on intensifying the attack despite their temporary lack of physical strength.
In such a situation, their formation was unable to strictly prohibit the dense and unknowingly overpressed, leaving a large gap behind them for United to exploit. By the time Bolton's manager on the sidelines was keenly aware of the crisis, and by the time he tried to give a withdrawal instruction to the players on the pitch, it was too late, and how could the seasoned United let go of this golden opportunity.
This time, it was Fu Qiong, who was "pointed out" after the game against Porto, who launched the deadliest pass. Knowing that starting in this back-to-back Carabao Cup final meant that he would almost certainly not be able to play in the second leg of the knockout game against Porto in midweek, and he was holding his breath in his chest after the game began, and at this moment he sent a through ball that made everyone applaud, and played a perfect tacit standard through to Saha, and instantly penetrated the entire Bolton defence that was too high.
A penchant for hoarding experienced veterans has been one of the main reasons why Bolton have been able to occupy a mid-stream position in the Premier League in recent years. But this also brought a lot of disadvantages, just like this time, in the face of Saha's strong start, their two aging central defenders Ngoti and Tom completely exposed their weaknesses of turning slowly and chasing back.
By the time the French strikers had already finished shooting against Bolton goalkeeper Jaskelainen, they hadn't even been near Saha, and they had already stopped far away, not chasing back the defence.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Manchester United are ahead, Luis Saha! Nice one-knife push!! The French striker didn't miss a rare one-on-one chance and handled it with great composure, with Bolton paying the price for their impatience and being caught by United to break through the defence with ease. Although they were undoubtedly dominant in the first half, they showed a huge gap to United in terms of their ability to control their chances. Of course, you could also say that they lack an all-powerful goalkeeper like Lee in front of the door......"
When commentating on the Manchester United game, Alan Hansen has long accepted the fact that his old partner, Lineker, will have to bring a few words about Li Lei no matter what he says. He had nothing to say about it other than to keep rolling his eyes. It's really that Li Lei's performance is so amazing now that he has even begun to attract the attention of the entire European football world, and he can't just shut up if he doesn't want to be blind.
For this reason, in the daily mutual explanation and bickering between the two, Alan Hansen began to be suppressed by Lineker everywhere because of Li Lei. This made the Liverpool celebrity look at Li Lei, who was raising his arms and shouting to celebrate the goal, when he looked at Li Lei in the backfield, he couldn't help but have a deep sense of "resentment" in his eyes.
Li Lei was naturally unaware of this. Besides, now he's busy scolding the Bolton fans right behind his door, and he doesn't have time to care about the mood of Alan Hansen, an old menopausal man.
Just now, he couldn't help but turn around and slam his fist at the Bolton fans behind him, which hit the muzzle of the angry Bolton fans.
Before the game, in the first 30 minutes of the game, Bolton fans were as disappointed as they were in their hopes of winning the title against Manchester United.
In their eyes, their own team is undoubtedly conceding a nest ball. Previously, their own team got so many good chances but didn't score, and Manchester United, who didn't get many good chances, scored a goal so incredibly easily this time.
Under such circumstances, Li Lei, who originally did not deliberately trouble Bolton fans and provoke them, but just vented his excitement and waved his fist at them, naturally became an excuse for Bolton fans to vent their emotions, and he himself became the object of catharsis.
"Shh!!h
In the face of the overwhelming boos that suddenly erupted from Bolton fans at him, Li Lei was also stunned immediately and did not react. It wasn't until he saw the Bolton fans who rushed to the vicinity of the stands, excitedly pointed out their middle fingers at him, and didn't know what foul language was blowing with a hideous and vicious look, that he finally reacted, it turned out that it was he who was being scolded.
Despite some surprise and surprise, he quickly put these emotions behind him. For him, this is not a time to be surprised, and responding immediately to the "enthusiasm" of the Bolton fans is the priority at the moment.
He immediately walked to the closest place to the Bolton players' stand with his trademark disdainful sneer. After glancing at the Bolton fans on the sidelines, who had become more angry and agitated by his approach, and the invective had become louder, he suddenly raised his index finger high at them.
Then, along with his index finger, his head shook from side to side at the Bolton fans. At this moment, the corners of his mouth, which were slightly disdainful on both sides, explained the meaning of this action to the extreme.
It's disdain!
Utter disdain!!
Rumble!!!!
The effect of his action was immediate, like pouring a glass of cold water into a boiling hot oil pot, which immediately made the Bolton fans who had just vented all their frustration on him.
And this is exactly what he wants to see, the corners of his mouth that were slightly disdainful on both sides just now have been raised, turning into his trademark disdainful sneer.
At this moment, the corners of his curved sharp mouth were covered with something.
It's rebellious!
Untamed rebellious!!
