Carrington Base, early in the morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, three weeks have passed since the end of the League Cup match with West Ham United, but the public attention caused by Li Lei's temporary switch to striker at half-time has not weakened much. On the contrary, its influence is getting deeper and deeper, not only in England, Europe, but also in the whole world football circle.

It's not that the outside world is making too much fuss about it, but that what Li Lei did was indeed too shocking and has never appeared in the entire history of professional football. For football lovers and practitioners, this is a history-making scene, no matter how excited and enthusiastic it is.

After all, everyone knows whether there will be a second door in the future to reproduce Li Lei's feat, or whether Li Lei himself can stage such a shocking drama again, this is an event with very few probabilities and a very low probability, and Li Lei's performance is very likely to be out of print that can only be seen once in a lifetime.

Scarcity is expensive, and this out-of-print is even more so.

In short, no matter how vaguely criticized and disfavored by some traditional forces in world football about Li Lei's deviant behavior, Li Lei and his half-time temporary change to striker performance has become an absolute storm that has swept the public opinion of world football in recent times, successfully dominating the front page headlines of all football newspapers, forums, and portals, and it is full of praise and exclamation.

This kind of treatment is probably what any footballer in the world craves.

But here is Li Lei, it is an exception.

After the game against West Ham, he may still be able to reluctantly give a few media interviews under Mendes' persuasion and arrangement. But a few days later, after seeing the reporters chasing and blocking him more and more vigorously and frantically, without the slightest sign that the enthusiasm will subside when he gets the sweetness, as Mendes said, he never said a word in front of any public media, not even a single face.

Being interviewed by several media outlets arranged by Mendes is already the limit of what he can afford. Besides, he doesn't like to deal with media reporters, and he doesn't have the leisure, patience and kung fu.

What's more, he can be regarded as clear, his current self is Tang Seng meat, and these media reporters are insatiable demons and monsters. Although it is said that you can live forever by eating a piece of Tang Seng's meat, have you ever seen a goblin who only cuts a piece of meat on Tang Seng's body and eats it, which one doesn't want to swallow Tang Seng's whole person in one bite, it's insatiable.

For a time, Li Lei simply lived the life of a famous underground worker in the Celestial Empire.

Coming and going like the wind all day long, except for Carrington and the family, he never went out, and the doors and windows were closed all day, not giving the paparazzi squatting outside Ferguson's house any chance to take pictures. Even, now even the garbage is crushed before throwing it out, and the precautions are extremely in place, and he has not heard of the paparazzi turning over the trash can.

But no matter how much he dodged, he could hide from the monk after all, and he couldn't hide from the temple, he always had to go to Carrington to train, and he couldn't hide from this anymore.

Just like now, when his car reappeared in front of the Carrington training base, he was once again surrounded by the long-waiting reporters and paparazzi in an instant. In the past three weeks, this is the time when he has the most headaches and irritability every day.

He would rather do two more hours of extreme exercise training every day than suffer this scene, but unfortunately things often backfire, and the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

"Hey, Lee, say a few words!"

"Lee, Ms. Jordan, the third page girl of The Sun, thinks you'll be a hot partner and bed partner, how do you respond to that?"

"Lee, will you date her?"

......

On this day, just like the previous three weeks, relying on the security guards at the Carrington base, he finally got rid of the paparazzi and got out of trouble.

"Thank you, Paul. Thanks, guys. After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Lei thanked the security guard just now for giving a thumbs up. These are all benefactors who help the suffering, if you say that the only thing that makes Li Lei feel good in this public opinion turmoil is that he quickly got close to the security guards and other staff in the Carrington base. It is with their help that Li Lei has managed to avoid a lot of trouble from paparazzi and reporters in these days.

In the past, because Li Lei had always had a cold face and looked extremely difficult to get along with, the relationship between him and these staff members was not very good. It was just a habit he had developed in the slums, and now that he had left there and started a completely new life, he revealed the nature of some young people, and deep down he still wanted to make more friends, eager to communicate and friendship.

From this point of view, Li Lei's overall personality, behavior, and personality are slowly changing in a normal direction, which is a good change.

"You're welcome, Lee! You've got to tell me, though, that Jordan really didn't call you?! That's an Aiwa! Paul, the leader of these staff, responded to his thanks and teased Li Lei by the way.

As the staff of the Carrington training base, how could they not know how terrifying the energy Li Lei spends in training every day, and how can they have the time and strength to provoke the flesh and blood of the girls on the third page of the "Sun".

In this regard, Li Lei did not speak, but just raised a middle finger in response.

Paul didn't care, but laughed out loud, the kind of laughter that only men understand. After three weeks of frequent contact, they were able to afford to make such jokes.

And this is not the end, when Li Lei puts on the training equipment and goes to the training ground, it will be the climax of his ridicule and jokes. Compared with the security guards, his Manchester United teammates are undoubtedly the group of people who have a more vigorous daily male hormone secretion.

This group of men, all of whom have a good net worth, have very little time to play and consume, and more of a daily boring training, so alcohol and women have naturally become their most popular entertainment items.

"Hey! Lee, did Jordan call you? As soon as he saw Li Lei coming, Keane, who had the best relationship with Li Lei in the team, was the first to speak.

"Wow~"

"Hahaha"

......

A round of laughter and whistles ensued, and the training ground burst into laughter.

Li Lei also knew that at this time, silence was the best way to get rid of this group of philharmonic ruffians as soon as possible, so he just showed them two straight middle fingers and didn't speak again.

Seeing this, after everyone at Manchester United looked at each other playfully, they reached a mysterious tacit understanding and resonance with the common points of men, and then what followed was a more noisy and smug laughter.

At this moment, even Ferguson, who was on the side, changed his usual serious iron face and couldn't help laughing. During this time, the old coach was in a good mood, and the players on the training ground didn't mind much about these small fights.

As for why Ferguson is so happy, it is naturally because Manchester United's record during this period is very good.

Ever since Lee Lei's shocking half-time switch to striker helped United knock out West Ham United in the Carabao Cup, it seems to have brought good fortune to the whole team. Since then, Manchester United has won five games and five games, not only in the Premier League, but also in the Premier League, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, with three consecutive wins to surpass the Ruble Army Chelsea, standing in the second place in the Premier League standings, chasing the top Arsenal, and in the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage successively defeated Panathina and Stuttgart, and then beat the Bundesliga team, successfully qualified for the first place in Group E, advanced to the round of 16 of this season's Champions League, and also occupied a strong position in the next knockout draw.

After this series of victories, Manchester United has once again become the Premier League hegemon exclaimed by the outside world, the top giants, it seems that the decline and problems before this season have all disappeared all at once, which makes Ferguson, as the manager of Manchester United, not in a good mood and high mood.

And it's not just the bosses, it should be said that at this moment, the whole Carrington training base is filled with the joyful atmosphere and laughter of Manchester United, no exception.

When Li Lei started goalkeeper training, even Richard and others were in a good mood to ridicule Li Lei about Jordan.

To say, at this moment, on this training ground, who is in the most calm mood, I am afraid it is Li Lei.

He's happy that Manchester United's results have improved and improved so much, but he was only happy about the Carabao Cup game against West Ham. Even this League Cup game brought him more attention and popularity than Howard, who participated in a five-game winning streak.

He knew that with this wave of five consecutive wins, it would be unrealistic for him to immediately overturn the main starting position under Howard's ass. Although Howard has made some minor mistakes in those five consecutive wins, such as scoring the only goal of the game against Tottenham after a mistake in attacking and defending from a corner, he is well aware that these small details are irrelevant.

I'm afraid I'm going to be silent for a while! Regarding his own situation in the future for a period of time, Li Lei already has an estimate in his heart.

However, he was not discouraged. Whether it is the way the goalkeeper plays or the basic qualities of some goalkeepers, he needs more training to make up for it. If he can train with peace of mind for a period of silence, it may also be a good result for him.

He is confident in this.

"What?! How dare those bitches?!! Just as Li Lei was immersed in training, Ferguson's roar suddenly exploded in his ears, instantly dispelling the originally harmonious and pleasant atmosphere of the Carrington base.

What's going on, is it...... What was it that made Ferguson, who had just been kind, suddenly angry, this must not be a trivial matter, just when a group of Manchester United players were suspicious, Li Lei chuckled in his heart and had a very bad guess.

If that's really the case, it's really happening! Thinking about it, Li Lei's originally plain face instantly became solemn.

He knew Manchester United were in big trouble!

Big trouble!!
