"Audience friends, this 03-04 League Cup final is about to start. www.biquge.info In recent times, Manchester United's poor form has made this final, which was predicted by the outside world to be no suspense, back to the highlights. This can be seen from the current major bookmakers have increased the odds for Manchester United to win the championship. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can withstand their recent slump and busy fixtures and win their first title of the season. ”

"Personally, I'm also looking forward to seeing how Manchester United's Asian goalkeeper Lee will perform in this final, which is the first final experience of the young talent's career, and the perfect time to check whether he has the most crucial mental attribute of a goalkeeper – a big heart. Considering the poor performance of American Howard in front of goal in recent times, this final may also finally determine the final position of Manchester United's starting main goalkeeper. ”

"Well, now all the pre-game ceremonies are over. Let's wait for the referee's whistle - the game is officially on!! ”

When Lineker, who served as the commentator of the game, shouted the last word of this sentence, the referee on duty in the League Cup final also blew the whistle in his hand, and the clear whistle was like the starting gun on the track and field field.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ......

Maybe it's because he was too excited, looking at the middle scene in front of him, which had already taken the lead in becoming lively, and the confrontation between the players on both sides began to take place and became intense, what reverberated in Li Lei's ears at this moment was not the deafening shouts and cheers of the fans on both sides at the scene, but the sound of his own heart beating vigorously again and again.

This made him even have the illusion that the blood in his body suddenly accelerated at this moment, like the illusion that a car suddenly drove onto the highway. And, with that, the whole body was driven to move as soon as possible, and at this moment, this desire in Li Lei's heart became stronger and stronger as the game progressed, and gradually couldn't be suppressed.

Soon, Li Lei felt like he was about to go crazy. Although at this moment, Li Lei's facial expression is still as cold as usual, but in fact, the eagerness and expectation in the eyes of the Bolton player in front of him are already as hot as magma! Fervent!!

If this is an ordinary Premier League game, Li Lei may be directly suffocated, because after all, a middle-class team like Bolton in the Premier League against Manchester United almost always adopts defensive counterattacks, at least one point, not forcing three points of tactics, I am afraid that there are no two or three shots on target in the whole game, and there are even fewer shots on target in the opening stage of the game.

But thankfully, this game was different. The League Cup is a rare championship that a team like Bolton can strive for, even if the final opponent is Manchester United, but the same footballers, the same instinctive desire to win, how can the Bolton players who are eager for championship glory have no ideas in their hearts.

The recent sluggish form and performance of Manchester United have been a catalyst to further stimulate the expectations and aspirations of Bolton players for the League Cup winners, as they see a brighter prospect of passing.

Perhaps Bolton's manager laid out a more secure strategy for his team before the game, such as getting a foothold first and consolidating their defence, but sometimes that's the case, and it's not uncommon for things to happen outside the country and not just on the battlefield, but on the football pitch.

Anyway, with a keen desire to win the Carabao Cup, after the game officially began, the Bolton players did not adopt a retreat defensive strategy as predicted before the game, but pressed out hard to confront the Manchester United players, and the overall formation also put on a forward pressure posture to attack.

Although it is not known that Bolton can hold on for a few minutes in front of Manchester United like this, at least they have a strong desire to attack Manchester United at the moment, and they are doing quite well when they are in an overall state of excitement.

In the fourth minute of the first half, Bolton launched the first effective attack of the game that directly threatened the opposing goalkeeper.

In this defence, Manchester United's defensive formation was well maintained and did not lose its position, until the football came to the feet of Bolton's most famous and powerful Nigerian legend Okocha, and everything suddenly changed.

Nicknamed "The Bird", Okocha is a world-renowned master of the art of football. Although he has never played for the real top giants in football like Zidane, Rui Costa and others in his career, the French side Paris Saint-Germain that he once joined is the best and most famous club in his career, and this has led to the fact that the 30-year-old has not been embellished with brilliant championship honors in his career so far, but this does not prevent him from being loved by fans all over the world for his unbridled imagination and glamour on the football field.

Among them, in 1993, when he faced Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga against Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga, he dribbled all the opposing defenders and scored the ball into the gate guarded by Kahn, who had not yet joined Bayern at that time, which is regarded as an eternal classic by football fans all over the world.

Since then, his blazing speed and magician-like feints have become his hallmarks. Although he is nearly 30 years old, he has declined slightly in terms of competitive condition and physical function, but this time, he is obviously in some excitement today, and he still used a gorgeous move that made the Manchester United fans at the scene can't help but amaze, and completely played the panacea of replacing Gary Neville to play right wing-back in this game - O'Shea.

When Bolton's right midfielder, another star who once stood at the top of the world, the 35-year-old Djokaeff, was forced by the young player Fletcher who got another chance to play, a wide range of lateral transfers, directly found the left wing-back Okocha, O'Shea immediately did not dare to slack off and quickly pressed forward.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with such a defensive strategy of taking the lead in Okocha's advance to control the space for his technical manoeuvres, but the subtle handling of the ball that Okocha followed with a stop made O'Shea look as clumsy and funny as a big bear at the moment.

I saw that Okocha was pasted by O'Shea and constantly interfered with, while constantly resisting O'Shea's powerful arching, suddenly a force slightly knocked O'Shea away, and suddenly turned his back to O'Shea just now, and suddenly turned into facing O'Shea.

Just when O'Shea wondered why he did this, and what he was going to do with the ball next, the master once again showed the world his magician-like gorgeous technical movements, which are simply a typical example of the courage of a master of art.

He didn't even want to stop the ball, but raised his heel directly to the falling football, and after flicking his ankle up, the ball that was still falling just now rose again and flew forward over O'Shea's head.

At the same time, just when O'Shea's head and body were still receiving and judging this unexpected and amazing scene, and before he could make a final reaction, Okocha had already slapped O'Shea's hand that was pulling the hem of his jersey, and after a few steps under his feet, he instantly accelerated and completely threw off O'Shea, and Manchester United's defensive formation, which had just been flawless, was also instantly broken.

By the time O'Shea came to his senses and was about to chase back to Okocha, the Nigerian superstar had stopped his football and dribbled into the Manchester United penalty area, which had begun to panic slightly.

Today, the maestro was clearly in a state of excitement, if in the past he would have thought about the two Bolton strikers Davies and Flanderson who were in the Manchester United penalty area at the moment and were eagerly waiting for his pass to arrive, but today, this time, he didn't even look at the two of them, only the door behind Li Lei.

Without any hesitation, he flicked his left foot and finished the final shot before O'Shea's downed block, and the ball drew a perfectly rounded arc around Li Lei, who blocked the near post, and pointed straight at the top corner of the far post.

Everything that is happening in this moment seems to be anticipating that Okocha's superb strike will give Bolton the lead less than five minutes into the game.

At this moment, the Bolton fans behind Li Lei guarding the gate obviously thought the same, and they all jumped up from their seats at this moment, stretching their necks like a long deer, staring at the football in the air that was drawing a perfect arc, and the expectation and desire in their eyes were as hot as the confidence in Okocha's eyes at this moment!

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A tall figure rushed into their field of vision like a wild cheetah, and suddenly rushed into their field of vision like a tiger that pounced on a fierce tiger, and then jumped like a flying dragon out of a stream, and its posture in the air was as slender and vigorous as a flying dragon.

The football that seemed inviolable at the previous moment seemed to be in danger at this moment, and it was about to fall into the huge open palm of this figure, which looked like a huge illusion like a fan.

"Oh-!!"

In the end, in the loud regret of all the Bolton fans on the scene who couldn't believe their eyes, the football did not escape this giant palm after all, was lifted off the crossbar, and did not score!

After completing the save, as soon as he landed, Li Lei stood up like a spring under him amid the loud applause of the Manchester United fans for the rest of his life, and his eyes looked at Okocha who was also looking at him in surprise and regret at this moment.

In good shape?!

I'm sorry, old man!

I'm not bad on my side!!

Under Okocha's gaze, the corners of Li Lei's mouth unconsciously carried the trademark disdainful sneer. It's not because he hates Okocha, but he simply wants to find a good opponent to vent for his unquenchable desire to fight, a good opponent who can be worthy of his full effort.

In terms of simply looking at the form of this game, Okocha is undoubtedly the man in the Bolton team who is most in line with Li Lei's wishes.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Lei seems to be making a naked provocation against Okocha, expressing his disdain.

But his real intention is to stimulate Okocha and stimulate him to show better form and performance against himself.

Looking at Okocha, Li Lei's eyes were filled with unconcealable fanaticism!

And excitement!!

Come on!

Keep coming!!

Go on!!
