Chapter 135: Wild at Upton Park (End)
Although he has already received a yellow card, Li Lei will not have the slightest fear of this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info When the referee on duty walked out of the penalty area, he immediately stuck to Carroll's side again.
This time, the West Ham centre-back, who was marking him, was well prepared to keep him and Carroll at a distance.
In this regard, Li Lei is not in a hurry to exert force. Looking at Carol, who seemed to have calmed down, but there was still undisguised anger in his eyes, he didn't rush to do anything. After all, this conflict has just passed, and he won't do stupid things to commit crimes against the wind under the nose of the referee.
However, although he can't do anything obvious, Li Lei will not turn over this good opportunity to add fuel and vinegar. He won't give a chance or time for Carol to calm down his emotions, it's not his style to go back to the mountains, it's to kill them all.
"Hey! You look angry, but I bet you wouldn't dare to do anything to me at all. ā
"Any idea why?! Because you're a coward! Soft eggs!! ā
"Women have more backbone than you!"
......
Until Kleberson kicked out the corner, Li Lei was like a monk, constantly chanting scriptures beside Carol, and his mouth kept talking. There was also a grin on his face, a standard unruly and provocative look, and he kept giving Carol a look.
Although the Northern Irishman didn't react in any particular way, just glanced at Li Lei for a moment, then turned his head and didn't look at it again, but Li Lei knew that he was not as calm as he appeared. Not to mention, his fist that has been clenched tightly and has not been released, can be seen from his slow reaction after the corner kick, Li Lei can see.
Also as a goalkeeper, he knows it best. The quality of Kleberson's corner kick is not good, it is too close to the goalkeeper's control, if Carroll plays normally, he should directly take the football down, and there is no Manchester United's next attack.
Carroll's slow response gave Li Lei in front of the door a good opportunity to steal chickens. Although he has been making further provocations against Carroll just now, he has not relaxed his attention on this corner.
Opportunity! As soon as he saw that Carroll did not attack in time, his eyes lit up instantly, and he directly grabbed it with a big stride, throwing off the West Ham United central defender who had been sticking to his side and jumped high directly. Then, although Carroll reacted and quickly straightened his hands and jumped up, like a wall to block Li Lei's opportunity to hit the goal with a direct header, Li Lei also caught up with the West Ham United central defender to shake his head and make the football in the middle of the goal.
Since Li Lei changed to a striker and tasted the sweetness, Fran has been subconsciously paying attention to Li Lei's every move at the venue. When Lee Lei makes some moves, he tends to be the one who reacts the most in the Manchester United squad.
This time was no exception, seeing Li Lei do the football back, and Carol was also attracted by it, in front of him was an excellent opportunity to score a half-empty goal, the Uruguayan shooter's eyes lit up, and he directly volleyed into the air and made a beautiful gesture to volley in the air. He wanted to finish as quickly as possible without giving the West Ham defenders and Carroll any chance to block or save.
At this moment, the Uruguayan striker showed his world-class striker level to the fullest. This kind of reaction speed, imagination, daring and difficult volley skills are not something that can be done by just one striker.
Seeing this, even the legendary striker Lineker's eyes couldn't help but light up and was full of anticipation: "Oh! Fran shoots! ...... Yes! It was a shame that his powerful volley hit the crossbar and a brilliant world wave was denied by the goal. United missed a great chance to equalise, while West Ham escaped and were still down by just one goal at home to keep the game alive. ......ā
"Oh!!"
West Ham fans may not admit it openly, but when Forlan's shot hit the crossbar and flew off the line, their loud and uncluttered sound of relief proved it.
It was a disappointing shot, especially for Forlan, who was desperate to prove himself in form at United. After seeing that his shot was blocked by the crossbar, he landed on the pitch after completing the shot, and he directly held his head in his hands, buried his face in the turf, and couldn't look up for a long time.
"Hey, man, don't be discouraged, it's not over yet." Li Lei walked up to him and comforted him a little unnaturally. He's really not good at doing that, but it's a football game, and if he wants to continue to have a direct conversation with Carroll in the next games, he has to rely on United's overall attacking momentum, and Forlan is an indispensable force in this.
He can't do this just by relying on his physical rampage in the front court, and Li Lei knows this very well.
"Thank you, Lee." After being comforted by Li Lei, Fran was a little grateful and a little ashamed.
In this regard, Li Lei pulled a stiff smile on his face, and the grateful eyes of the Uruguayan made him a little at a loss for how to deal with it. Sure enough, I'm still not good at such things! He nodded mechanically, and quickly turned his head and walked away, which made him a little embarrassed and wanted to flee quickly.
He's trying to change something he's used to, but it's still going to take some time.
Besides, this is not the most important thing for him at the moment, it is to teach Carol a hard lesson.
This time around, Forlan unfortunately missed a great chance to score, but it wasn't all for United. Originally, Li Lei's goal had already dealt a major blow to their morale, and Forlan's wonderful volley was more like a direct hit to their heart. Looking at the goal, which was still trembling slightly, negative emotions began to spread in their hearts, as if someone was constantly reminding them of a fact - "our strength is not as good as Manchester United".
The mentality of a weak team is undoubtedly a very important factor if they want to upset a strong team, and this mentality is slowly disappearing in the minds of West Ham players on the pitch.
This was reflected in the rapid erosion of their resistance to United's attack, which began to form a frenzied siege to the West Ham penalty area. At this moment, although Alan Padu is still loudly fighting on the sidelines, he is powerless.
In the 73rd minute of the second half, even United's veteran midfielder Bart, who is a full-time defender, began to press boldly and tried a powerful long-range shot from outside the box to threaten Carroll's goal, and the collapse of West Ham was already a doubtful fact.
Although the shouts of the West Ham fans in the stands were still loud, they could not change the fact that the Championship side of West Ham were unable to sustain the Hammers' long history and their pride and pride in the team.
Regardless of what happened to West Ham United, Li Lei was playing happily with his teammates on the field at the moment. Among them, Li Lei, who wanted to teach Carol a lesson, was the most active one.
And his tireless efforts finally came to fruition in the 79th minute of the second half, in a way that he himself did not expect.
The collapse of the situation and the disgrace of the spirit made the West Ham players unable to cope with the waves of crazy attacks like Manchester United, and they could only foul frequently at the back, frequently giving Manchester United well-placed set-piece opportunities, and this opportunity was one of them.
When Jemba drove the ball out of the box and into the box, there was chaos in the West Ham penalty area. This time, Li Lei, who had been eye-catching at the start of the second half, was closely watched, and West Ham next to him grabbed the hem of his shirt. In addition, his other hand was also on Li Lei's shoulder, looking at the posture, it was like he wanted to hug Li Lei into his arms.
Tamar's! This kind of defensive method certainly made Li Lei suffocated, but what made him even more unhappy was that the landing point of the ball from Jemba was obviously not within his control. If you want to pass through the dense crowd in the penalty area to complete the battle, it is a picture that can only appear in the animation of dog blood sports competition, Li Lei will definitely not be able to do it, so he can only wave his hand stupidly, and stop the idea of breaking free from the kraft candy West Ham United central defender around him.
However, when Li Lei was about to hang his head and give up, Lady Luck threw him a wink.
What the is this?! When the football coincidentally rolled to Li Lei's side after a scramble in the penalty area, his eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't believe his eyes for a while, not believing that there was such a pie-in-the-sky good thing in the world.
However, although he was shocked, his movements were not slow. In this overcrowded forbidden area, opportunities are fleeting, and he doesn't want to miss them.
It's just that before Li Lei took his first step towards football, the West Ham United central defender who was guarding him obviously reacted, and his hands, which were already a little loose, immediately tightened again. However, Li Lei has already dealt with it.
Damn it! I saw Li Lei's eyes condensed, and the muscles in his body immediately tensed and exploded, and his left foot kicked violently on the turf, and the whole person was about to rush out like a red-eyed bull, with a fierce momentum! In an instant, his shirt was pulled out of an exaggerated shape by the West Ham United central defender, and the terrifying muscles in his upper body at the moment were undoubtedly revealed, full of power.
But these were obviously far from enough for him to break free from the shackles of the West Ham United centre-back, and Li Lei's elbow had already been secretly arched at this time, skilfully pushing against the ribs of the West Ham United centre-back. I have to say that Li Lei's talent in these small actions is really outstanding, this dark elbow is used just right, the action is hidden, the amplitude is not enough for the referee to see clearly, and the strength is just right to make the West Ham United central defender suffer to defend, not big enough to let him fall to the ground in pain directly.
One more is too much, and one less is not enough, which is just right.
"Hmm!"
Hearing the dull sound of pain from the West Ham United centre-back, Li Lei immediately felt the force on his shoulders and tugging on his jersey decreased.
If you don't hurry up this time, when will you wait?!
Nima!! In an instant, Li Lei's face turned red, his blood spurted, and his green muscles burst out, and he exploded on the original basis! This time, the West Ham United centre-back finally couldn't stop him anymore.
It's done! Feeling that his body was light and the resistance was gone, Li Lei immediately turned happy and rushed towards the football in front of him like a cheetah. A big lunge made him rush to the ball, and then immediately swung his right leg and put on a powerful volley stance.
Knowing that his skills are still rough, he doesn't have the heart to stop the ball and then make adjustments, so he thinks about not stopping the ball and coming directly to win with force, just see if the force can make a miracle.
Therefore, he didn't care about any footwork, and instinctively used the instep of his foot to pump a kick. When he swung off his right leg, brushed his toes against the turf, and hit the center of the ball with his instep, there was a noticeable dull sound on the field, "Bang!! ā
The soccer ball then jumped up, sticking to the turf like a cannonball, and flew towards the goal.
The shot was successfully completed, but when Li Lei saw the direction of the football, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he suffered!! Even though he had been careful with the angle of his shots, his three-legged footwork was terrible, and the football was still straight for Carroll.
Tamar's! When he saw Carol fold his arms together and quickly crouched down to pounce on the ball, he was already a little deflated. Although his kick is powerful enough, the angle is too positive, and this kind of shot is really limited to the test of professional goalkeepers.
At this moment, Li Lei's mind could even imagine what Carol's triumphant face was after completing the save.
But just when he was about to give up and the West Ham fans in the stands were about to breathe a sigh of relief, an unexpected scene happened.
I don't know how to get it, but Li Lei's shot unexpectedly passed between Carroll's arms, and then through his crotch. Although the forward speed has been greatly reduced after being blocked by Carol, he is still able to slam in the direction of the gate.
By the time Carroll came to her senses in shock and wanted to turn around to fish, it was too late, and the ball was already bouncing across the goal line.
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and the entire Upton Park stadium was even more silent! Filled with despair!!
It's a dead silence! Deathly despair!!
Among them, Li Lei was undoubtedly the first to react.
When Carol turned her head to look at the movement, she saw such a scene in front of her.
In front of him, Li Lei gave two thumbs up, writhing strangely like dancing in a nightclub, and the twisting amplitude of the bone disc and waist was so dazzling that it was eye-catching. It's even a little ridiculous.
But Li Lei's expression is so "pleasant", there is a strong sense of pride and ridicule in the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth, which is simply unscrupulous and undisguised.
This is the dance that Li Lei specially danced for Carol to watch alone, and this is his praise and joy for Carol's unexpected return for his "righteous act".
How Carol could endure this scene was by no means what he expected to see.
It turned out that after the start of the second half, he was proud and had the chance to win. In his opinion, Li Lei's behavior of temporarily changing to a striker at half-time was "extremely stupid", and he was simply giving him the victory.
So, from that time on, he has been looking forward to revenge, looking forward to how Li Lei and Ferguson will be disgraced in front of the public and roll back to Manchester in embarrassment after the game.
It's just that things developed beyond his expectations, and when Li Lei gradually played well in the forward position, he began to feel uneasy.
When Li Lei scored the first goal, he was even more frustrated.
Until this moment, because of his own low-level mistake, he personally gave Li Lei the second goal with his butter hand, and he finally despaired.
But no matter what, he couldn't accept being ridiculed and humiliated by Li Lei in front of him!
"You bastard!!" Finally, he couldn't control his emotions, and he burst into anger and pushed Li Lei, who was dancing in front of him, to the ground.
In this regard, Li Lei's goal was finally achieved.
"Toot!"
"Shh!!h
When the referee's whistle blew, tens of thousands of West Ham fans in the audience also let out their overwhelming boos again! The sound is deafening!!
And Li Lei sat on the turf, supporting his upper body with both hands, his feet crossed, the corners of his mouth smiling, with a relaxed and happy look, playfully watching the out-of-control Carol being pulled away by others, and then looking unrelenting and annoyed.
With the piercing boos in the front, his whole person was like watching a comedy movie in the cinema.
At this moment, he was proud!
Unabashedly proud!!
Unscrupulous!!
