Did Lee Lei plan to use the Premier League's unique physical fierce confrontation to teach Reyes a lesson?

The answer to this question must be yes.

But at least until he saw Reyes compete with O'Shea for a half-goal this time, he never thought of using this to directly defeat the Spanish talent. Because in his opinion, even if Reyes does not adapt to the style of play and environment of the Premier League, Wenger and Arsenal will definitely give him vaccinations in their usual training, exercise his ability in this area as much as possible, and definitely not be defeated by the opponent directly on the field by physically bullying him.

Obviously, there were some errors in Li Lei's judgment. Reyes' adaptability to the Premier League's ferocious physicality and scrambling was far worse than he had previously thought, and that won't change, at least in this game.

What an unexpected surprise!

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no danger in front of the door, Li Lei's eyes kept rolling on Reyes, and his eyes were full of banter and disdain.

In terms of his character, since he knows that the other party has such an obvious and extremely fragile weakness, he will definitely not let it go, and will grasp this point and fight desperately, and he will not let go until the other party is completely defeated.

What is the idea of the Holy Mother who wants to defeat the opponent openly and honestly with the strength of the dignified and upright, and make the opponent speechless, has always been insulated from the cruel environment he grew up in the slums.

He wants to do it, but before he can do it, he still needs to wait for the time to come. Only a patient hunter can catch the most precious and delicious prey. And precisely, Li Lei has always been very patient in this regard, which is completely different from the unruly temper he showed to the outside world.

Just when Li Lei was like a crocodile lurking underwater, waiting for Reyes, the prey, to be delivered to the door by himself, the situation of the game on the field changed again. The two sides, who had temporarily slowed down the tempo and had once again accumulated enough combat energy, began to quickly increase the pace of the game on the field and the speed of the transition between attack and defense, and the scene was once again as intense as in the opening stage.

Once again, the Arsenal fans in the stands and a handful of Manchester United fans couldn't help but stir up a loud noise for the team's wonderful performance, completely heating up the atmosphere of the entire Highbury Stadium, making it like a blazing furnace.

It is often the Arsenal fans here who have just applauded the beautiful passes and breakaways of Thierry Henry and others, and the Manchester United fans over there in turn applaud Manchester United's quick counter-attacking section, which is countered by the overwhelming boos and invectives of the Arsenal fans.

The rhythm on the field is so intense and so fast, Li Lei, the goalkeeper, naturally has the opportunity to perform. Although Bergkamp did not start in this game, which made Arsenal's attacking organization at the edge of the penalty area less creative and spiritual, the performance of Reyes, who started in his place, was by no means bad, and the Spanish genius made several beautiful dribble breakthroughs to create attacking opportunities for Arsenal successfully threatened Li Lei.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Reyes took the initiative to pull to the right side, played a delicate small-scale combination with Ljungberg and Lauren, and finally he broke through to the bottom line with the ball and completed a cross before Keane's return block. Then, in the box, Henry was almost hanging on to Brown's close defense, and volleyed his left foot into the air with a volley of the football, and gave Pire, who had already cut inside to the left side of the penalty area, and was just behind him, very comfortably set up a cannon.

Pire's powerful long-range shot before Jemba's block arrived, was powerful. Therefore, although the angle was somewhat positive, Li Lei in front of the door did not dare to make a hard connection, but directly hit it with his fists together.

However, in the second landing point scramble outside the penalty area, it was Reyes who grabbed in front of everyone, and without adjustment, directly completed a long-distance push on the ground.

At this moment, Li Lei, who was still at the remote post in the middle of the goal, was a little embarrassed. In the end, Li Lei tried his best to save the football from the bottom line with the first knuckle of his left hand before the football crossed the goal line like an arrow on the turf. And the middle finger of his left hand was poked because of this, and it hurt faintly.

This save really made Li Lei sweat and have a deeper understanding of Reyes's strength.

In the 34th minute of the first half, after Paul Scholes' volley in the middle of the pitch was blocked by Toure, Arsenal unleashed a flashy and fluid counter-attack with their trademark mercury drop.

This time Henry showed what he was terrible in his prime, and after taking the ball up full speed on the counter-attack, he was unstoppable. Almost one person dribbled the ball from near the arc of the center circle in the backfield to the front of the Manchester United penalty area like a knight racing on the battlefield, completely shaking off Scholes, Djemba and Keane all the way, and even leaving them with a chance to foul.

After entering the penalty area, facing Silvestre, who was in front of him at the end, Henry chose to play a beautiful one-two with Reyes. After getting Henry's cross pass, Reyes firmly leaned on Brown behind him, stretched out his foot and rubbed it skillfully, so that the football passed the top of Silvestre beautifully, and landed on Henry's route to get around the entanglement of the French central defender and enter the penalty area at great speed.

If it weren't for Li Lei's decisive choice to attack quickly at this time, when the football was still in the air, he directly opened his limbs and tightly blocked it in front of Henry, otherwise, it is really difficult to say what the result of Arsenal's beautiful and fast counterattack will be, it is not necessarily Li Lei who used his long open right arm to block Henry's shot from the bottom line.

No goalkeeper in the world dares to pat himself on the chest to guarantee that he is not afraid to face the peak King of Highbury - Henry in a single chance, and Li Lei is no exception.

After completing this save, Li Lei, who got up from the ground, subconsciously wiped his forehead, which was already full of sweat, and it was a nervous cold sweat.

At the same time that Arsenal bombarded him, Manchester United's attacking line has also made the Arsenal defense led by Lehmann break out in a cold sweat several times, what is the result of this wave of fierce offensive battles between the two sides, who can take the lead, and the key points to take the lead are undoubtedly a large part of Li Lei and Lehmann, the two goalkeepers.

If Lee wants to help United win this game, whether he can stay in the back of the door longer than Lehmann this time will be absolutely crucial.

There is no doubt that he definitely wants to do it. But it's not as easy as outsiders seem.

Li Lei didn't know what Lehmann, who was far away from him, was now thinking about Manchester United's crazy attacks, but he had already felt the huge pressure from the Arsenal attacking line led by Thierry Henry.

No, we have to find a way! I can't go down in passivity.

Before Arsenal's subsequent corner kick came out, Li Lei, who returned to the goal, began to make calculations in his mind, he knew that it was not a good way to be so passive, and he had to take some steps to take the initiative.

In the face of a powerful attack line led by Henry, led by Pire, Ljungberg and Reyes, what can he do?

The idea naturally hit Reyes, the most immature of the four, the most obvious weakness, and he had already understood it, and of course the persimmon had to pick a soft pinch.

Thinking of this, Li Lei's eyes couldn't help but glance at Reyes, who was currently waiting in the Manchester United penalty area to fight for the top corner kick and entangle with Demba.

This glance is like a poisonous snake opening its eyes!

Cold!

Hideous!!

Murderous!!
