Chapter 280

Li Lei didn't have a clear idea of what kind of medicine was sold in Henry's gourd. But he is well aware that in any case, a certain amount of vigilance and precaution against Henry is necessary at this time, although the attacking firepower of the other Arsenal players at this moment is enough to draw most of his attention and prevent him from being comfortable in front of goal.

Fuck, this bunch is insane!

In the 78th minute of the second half, Li Lei relied on his decisive attack to expand the scope in time, and broke a very threatening half-single ball opportunity in the penalty area, and after successfully blocking his shot from the bottom line with his body, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in the abdomen that was hit by this shot.

In fact, Li Lei is not the only one who is surprised by Arsenal's crazy attack, Ferguson on the sidelines, Lineker in the commentary, and even Arsenal's own coach Frenchman Arsene Wenger.

The main reason for their surprise is not the madness and strength of the 10-man Arsenal attack, but its ruthlessness. Not only to the enemy, but also to oneself.

With 10 men in the game, heavy rain and 80 minutes of regular time, it would be an impossible task to keep the Arsenal players on the pitch on the pitch on the pitch while maintaining a ferocious attack while also taking care of the defense.

Therefore, it can be said that when Arsenal has repeatedly tested Li Lei with their crazy attack, in fact, Manchester United's rapid counterattacks have repeatedly created danger in front of Arsenal's goal, and even if you talk about the number of threats created in front of the goal, Manchester United, which plays defensive counterattacks, is even higher than Arsenal.

After all, compared to Arsenal's attack, which has to solve a fully defensive, fully staffed Red Devils defense, then Giggs only has to solve two central defenders and a goalkeeper on the pitch at the moment, and at most four full-backs.

Because at this moment, in Arsenal's defensive system, not to mention that there is no midfielder at all, even the full-backs have been transferred to the attacking system to fully participate in the attack. And now, it is too difficult to let Lauren and Klich, who started this game, keep running back and forth and sprinting in the front and back, and often as long as they go up, they can't come back when Manchester United counterattacks.

But what is surprising is that in the face of the precarious and crumbling situation of their own gate like a lonely boat in the sea, Arsenal's attack still maintains the current level of madness and determination, unwavering, as if they are worried that their own door will be breached, which is really amazing.

It is said that those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying, this sentence is really true. Just like at this time, Manchester United, which has never lost in momentum, also appeared when the momentum was crushed by 10-man Arsenal on the pitch.

However, this is also inevitable, after all, Manchester United is the side leading by one goal at this time, as long as it holds for another 10 minutes to successfully win, in such a situation, it is indeed unrealistic to let the Red Devils go to Arsenal to play against Arsenal regardless of their lives.

But no matter what, the 10-man Arsenal can do it to such an extent in such a desperate difficult situation in the here and now, which is worthy of admiration and respect.

And the crazy momentum of the Arsenal players on the pitch has also infected their coach Arsenal on the sidelines. Although attacking football is a lifelong pursuit of the professor, he will never be able to do it for the sake of attacking like the Arsenal players on the field are now, completely ignoring the level of defense.

From a coach's point of view, the most sensible thing for him to do right now would be to give up this game. This is because the situation on the pitch is too unfavourable for Arsenal at this time. In this situation, it is too difficult and too unlikely to get the game back against Manchester United.

And, even if it comes back, the price Arsenal will have to pay is too great. Considering that they have just played 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge in midweek against Premier League upstarts Chelsea, and with a second leg at home to Chelsea in the middle of the week after this game, it will undoubtedly be a direct threat to the second leg of their Champions League knockout tie with Chelsea if they spend too much energy in this weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.

Although Arsenal had an advantage over the two knockout legs in the first leg on away goals, it was not enough to guarantee them qualifying for the last four of this season's Champions League, and the Russian oligarch Abu founded the ruble army, despite the controversy in the outside world, but their strength is certain, otherwise Chelsea would not have topped Manchester United in the Premier League table until now.

For Arsenal, this is by no means an easy opponent to deal with. If you are not careful, you are likely to be overturned by the other party.

Is it really necessary to take such a big risk for the title and glory of an FA Cup, a treble? What if it turns out to be a waste of water and not only eliminated from the FA Cup, but also cut off the prospects of the Champions League?

In fact, such concerns were already in Wenger's mind as early as the 70th minute of the game, and he was hesitant to make a decision.

As Lineker said at this time: "Regardless of the outcome of this FA Cup, Ranieri and Chelsea will be the ones who will have the best laugh after the game, regardless of who wins between Manchester United and Arsenal." ”

And Arsene Wenger's sanity has been telling him at this moment that selectively giving up this game and abandoning the FA Cup is the most advantageous decision for Arsenal.

But at this time, the Arsenal players on the field showed the kind of fighting spirit and determination that were united and unyielding, but the French coach changed his mind. Regardless of the result, he wants to stand with the players and fight! Go Bo! That's the French boss's truest thoughts at the moment.

And he did. After Ljungberg's excellent scoring opportunity was blocked by Li Lei's attack, he expressed his support and encouragement to the Arsenal players with his applause and loud shouts from the sidelines, allowing them to continue to work harder, maintain or even strengthen the attack.

Arsenal's indomitable fighting spirit and fighting spirit from the manager to the players on the field have infected the entire Highbury Stadium, and the loud Arsenal team song has become the only main theme of the entire Highbury Stadium!

The hotter the atmosphere of the Arsenal fans at the scene, the more crazy the Arsenal players on the field, the more uneasy Li Lei was in the heart of Li Lei, who guarded the gate of Manchester United. But this uneasiness is not because of them, but from Henry, who is still reining in his edge until this moment.

In this situation, as the king of Highbury, Henry, who is the sharpest spear in the current Arsenal team, is so silent on the field, and the limelight is completely stolen by Ljungberg and Pire, which is simply abnormal, so abnormal that it cannot be suspicious and unsettling.

But uneasy is uneasy, in short, Li Lei is absolutely not afraid. And not only is he not afraid, but he is also a little excited.

I don't know what you're up to, but I'm not going to lose. Come on! Come on!!

Glancing at Henry, who was still silent and restrained, Li Lei's eyes were full of excitement!

A feeding frenzy!!

Absolute confidence!!
