Chapter 38: The Theater of Dreams

The battle of will between Li Lei and Ronaldo, this bet, has a fighting beginning, but the ending is anticlimactic. According to Ronaldo'www.biquge.info s own words, this gambling battle, which should have 10 penalty battles, was actually hastily ended after only 6 goals.

In the case that the first goal was saved by Li Lei, Ronaldo, who was provoked by Li Lei, was so angry that his performance in the next 5 penalty kicks was hardly outstanding, and it was not even normal.

For a professional footballer, the shooting percentage of only three goals out of five goals can be described as terrible.

After Ronaldo's 6th penalty was blocked by Li Lei again, Li Lei immediately left the goal line with a victorious attitude. Although Ronaldo has been staring at him fiercely with a disapproving look of "if we have the ability, we will do it again", he doesn't care at all.

Since he has already won, why do you want to give your opponent a chance to stand up and challenge again, this kind of thing is not something that Li Lei will do.

I saw him with a smug sneer, slowly pacing in front of Ronaldo, not caring at all about the other party's angry eyes that were about to erupt fire, and directly said lightly in a tone of ordering slaves: "Hurry up and bring me that bottle of water, I'm thirsty." ”

Hearing this, the angry green tendons on Ronaldo's forehead suddenly jumped, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You have just drunk a bottle of water." ”

A total of 6 penalty kicks, adding up to less than 10 minutes, Ronaldo doesn't think Li Lei is thirsty again so soon. He knew that Li Lei was deliberately calling himself, although he was extremely reluctant to go, but he was arrogant and didn't want to talk in front of Li Lei, a little bastard, not like a man.

As soon as he saw Ronaldo's tangled and annoyed look, the sneer on the corner of Li Lei's mouth immediately became bigger, and he pretended to be human and casual in a tone that can be called a wealthy man, and said very angrily: "So what, just now, now now, I'm thirsty." ”

This time, Ronaldo not only had the green tendons on his forehead, but even the back molars were creaking.

"Hahaha...."At this time, Ferguson, who had been watching the game quietly with interest, finally couldn't help but speak, because Li Lei and Ronaldo laughed out loud at what he thought was a young and childish confrontation.

Following this familiar loud laughter, Li Lei and Ronaldo turned their heads and finally found Ferguson, who had been on the sidelines for a long time. Li Lei may not care about the handsome smile heartily, but Ronaldo suddenly felt that his cheeks were hot and he felt that his face was lost in front of Ferguson.

Seeing Ronaldo's embarrassed and embarrassed look, how could Ferguson, who has a lot of experience, not know what this young man who is old enough to be his grandson is thinking.

This kind of small gamble between teammates in daily training may not seem like anything to him. But for a competitive young man of Ronaldo's age, it is a big matter of face, especially when this kind of thing happens in front of respectable elders and bosses.

But, Ferguson is both. Luckily, he didn't have any intention of staying here any longer. I just want to tell Li Lei and Ronaldo a piece of news in person, and by the way, I want to take a look at these two Manchester United, which he is very good at. After all, as the manager of Manchester United, it is now close to the official start of the new season, but it is his busiest time.

When Alex Ferguson left, Li Lei and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were looking at his back, couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and they were both notified that they would be in the squad for Manchester United's opening game against Bolton.

Whether it is for Li Lei or Ronaldo, this is a happy event.

Not to mention Ronaldo, even Ronaldo, a Portuguese genius who wore the No. 7 shirt when he first came to Manchester United, had always been concerned and worried before Ferguson personally told him the news. After all, in a world-class giant like Manchester United, the age of 18 often means that the bench is cold and there are few opportunities to play.

Although Ferguson and Manchester United's senior management have long been told what they value and expect from him, it is not without precedent in football for a young genius to sit on the cold board after being lured by the promise of a giant.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Ronaldo at this time will show a happy face because of this news.

But as the saying goes, some things are afraid of being happy for a second.

"Hurry up and get me water." Just when Ronaldo was happy in his heart, Li Lei's commanding words suddenly came into his ears again. The mood instantly changed from happy to angry, and the result of this was that the heart was even more unhappy and unhappy.

Turning his head to stare at Li Lei's annoying cold face, Ronaldo gritted his back molars again.

I have to say that the existence of Ronaldo has given Li Lei, who works hard every day, a pretty good pastime. It's just that in the next few days, Ronaldo, who has always had a strong desire for revenge, has never had another chance to challenge Li Lei.

Because both of them are sure to join the 16-man squad for Manchester United's opening game, Li Lei, as a substitute goalkeeper, is still relaxed, but Ronaldo, as an offensive player, is not easy, and has been busy training with Manchester United's first-team players in the past two days, in order to form a tacit understanding with Manchester United players as soon as possible.

In such a situation, the time quickly came before the start of Manchester United's new Premier League season.

United's home league game was not the first game of the Premier League season, as it ended more than an hour earlier with Birmingham's final 1-0 home win over Tottenham. However, the match between these two teams is clearly just an appetizer, with games like Manchester United being the highlight of the day.

While not many would have thought Bolton would have beaten Manchester United in an upset, the Red Devils are the Red Devils, and as the undisputed hegemons of the Premier League today, Birmingham City and Tottenham Hotspur are not as attractive as Manchester United combined.

But attraction is attraction, and news with highlights and breaking points is the real focus of the media and reporters. Without believing that Bolton, who are in the middle of the Premier League, will be able to put in a spectacular performance at Old Trafford, the media has naturally focused on anything other than winning or losing.

For example, Beckham, who is still being hyped by the outside world to leave the Bernabeu, such as Li Lei, who is still hot and has entered the squad, and Ronaldo, who became famous because he became another owner of Manchester United's No. 7 shirt..... Regardless of the focus, none of the questions raised by reporters in the pre-match press conference pleased Ferguson.

Among them, especially the question of the outside world questioning Li Lei and Ronaldo, the Scottish coach felt the most unhappy. So, in the end, when Ferguson left the press conference, he almost walked away.

The boss was gone, but the poor sweaty Manchester United press officer was left behind to withstand the heavy fire of the reporters.

Ferguson's joys, sorrows and sorrows are a barometer of the whole Manchester United team. Facing the ugly face of Ferguson, the Manchester United players also suffered from lying down, and they couldn't complete the easy pre-game preparations.

In such a situation, even Li Lei was honest and behaved for a few days, and did not provoke Ronaldo again, for fear of touching Ferguson's moldy head.

This continued until the United squad arrived at the famous Old Trafford stadium - the Theatre of Dreams today.

As one of the top stadiums in Europe and the home of the world's top Red Devils Manchester United, Old Trafford's reputation has long spread around the world and has become a football mecca in the hearts of many fans. But its loudest and most well-known name comes from the nickname of Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton, a romantic name - Theatre of Dreams.

"Because it's a place where countless classics have been played over the last 100 years, where the best players and the best teams have played." That's Bobby Charlton's answer when someone asked him why he called Old Trafford the Theatre of Dreams.

Such a proud, proud answer immediately spread throughout English football at the time, and the reputation of the Theatre of Dreams spread.

And Manchester United's greatness is not worthy of such a good name.

On every Manchester United home matchday, head to the Theatre of Dreams for a fantastic football performance, then enjoy a fantastic night out in a good mood. It's a blessing to be a local Manchester United fan.

Just like then, hordes of Red Devils once again sang the Manchester United anthem and walked into the great stadium full of confidence, just waiting to enjoy another football match that would excite them.

At this moment, the players of both sides have already entered the stadium, and the majestic "God Save the Queen" is resounding over the Old Trafford stadium. At this pre-match ceremony, whether the stadium is English or not, whether they like or hate England, at least they will stand at this time and express the minimum etiquette for the English national anthem.

But that doesn't include Li Lei, who doesn't have any feelings for the old woman who lives in Buckingham Palace, even though he's more or less English.

Although he was standing like everyone else around him, he was not so much showing respect as he was pretending to take the opportunity to take a good look at the magnificent Old Trafford.

For one, if there was any disrespect to the England national anthem in public, he didn't believe that the reporters who were still paying attention to him during this time would not notice. If this matter is heated up by unscrupulous media, it will undoubtedly affect his business prospects in England. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing for the sake of momentary pleasure and pleasure.

Second, he was really shocked by the grandeur and majesty of Old Trafford. And if he stands up, he can see more clearly and comprehensively.

Old Trafford has a soul, and he didn't understand the words that came out of Ferguson's mouth until now. But today, at this moment, Li Lei feels as if he has found a trace of inspiration.

The bronze statue of Sir Busby waving outside the stadium, the black-and-white Munich clock in the south stand inside the stadium, and the blood-red ..... of the Old Ford Stadium

These are the souls of Old Trafford.

Its soul is red!

Bright red like blood!!
