Chapter 153: Howard's Restlessness and Plans

"Toot! Honk! Toot! ”

When Thierry Henry's long-range shot from Rio Ferdinand's blocked foot bounced off Pire's head, four minutes of stoppage time were finally used up and the referee's crisp and loud final whistle sounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In an instant, the entire Old Trafford stadium was filled with cheers, and the United players on the pitch hugged each other in relief. It stands to reason that such a cumulative Carabao Cup quarter-final victory was not worth the celebration of United, but it was a difficult game that was snatched from a desperate situation.

So, after winning such a difficult game with a lot of pressure for 90 minutes, it is understandable that everyone felt relieved and happy.

"Super breakaways, amazing shots, incredible saves, clashes, penalties, red cards, stars...... It's definitely a classic that pays off the ticket price! Although there was only one goal in the end, it was definitely a wonderful charm in its own right! As for the best player of the game, you only have to listen to the deafening cheers of the Manchester United fans in attendance, and this person is none other than Manchester United's young Asian goalkeeper Lee! ”

Despite Ryan Giggs' winning goal, the home side would have been crushed by Arsenal's attacking firepower had it not been for Lee's near-miraculous series of world-class saves. Although Patrick Vieira's red card was destined to cause him a huge controversy after the game, there was no doubt that he would be the best of the match and would not be a second choice at all. Now Sir Alex Ferguson is facing a happy trouble, although the performance of the Americans cannot be said to be bad, but Lee's performance is definitely better, isn't it?! So whether it's Howard or Lee, he has to make a choice as the Christmas schedule approaches......

At the same time that the commentator was comparing Li Lei and Howard endlessly, the broadcast director on the scene also had the heart to exchange the camera camera frequently between Li Lei, who was cheering Manchester United fans with applause on the field, and Howard, who was walking to the player's tunnel with a blue face.

This is not unique to the two of them, you only have to look at the excitement that those reporters are betting on Li Lei and Howard, and you know that the topic of Manchester United's main goalkeeper battle after this game is sure to be hyped up and hotly discussed after the game.

After all, Li Lei's performance in this game was so good that people have to wonder whether he should immediately replace Howard as Manchester United's main goalkeeper. As long as he is a discerning person, he can see that Li Lei's strength and potential are far more dazzling than Howard's, and the only concern is that the young Li Lei is not stable enough.

In addition to this, the most concerned topic after the game was of course Vieira's angry head and red card.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the reporters at the Old Trafford stadium at this moment have received a death order from their boss and editor-in-chief, and they must dig out what Li Lei did at that time in order to predict in advance that Vieira will definitely take the penalty away, and then what he did to make Vieira so out of control and furious.

I'm afraid that as long as you watch this game, you can't help but be eager to be curious about this topic.

It's just that no matter what Vieira is, Li Lei, as one of the main parties, is not interested in going into all the details for reporters and the melon-eating public. For one thing, he didn't have such an idea in the first place. Second, do you think he's stupid?! Just think about it and know that his previous behavior of drilling holes in the 12-yard point must not be fair play. Say it openly yourself? Li Lei didn't have the stupid problem of looking for the FA's punishment.

Moreover, instead of making it public, he will actively find ways to cover up the evidence.

As the best player selected after the game, Li Lei casually dealt with two sentences of post-game interviews with reporters, and after he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in anger again, he immediately found assistant coach Ferran and whispered a few words in his ear. Then, under the stunned gaze of Phelan's "why the fuck are you so wicked, do you fucking know", he leisurely walked into the players' tunnel.

In this extremely difficult game, Li Lei, a battle maniac, enjoyed the fun of fighting and winning, which made him have a happy smile on his lips that could not be concealed until he washed up in the team's public bathroom. If it weren't really in line with his personality and behavioral habits, it is estimated that the little song would have been sung in his mouth a long time ago.

But his good mood didn't last long, and it was completely ruined by Howard.

"Proud of what?! No matter how proud I am, Manchester United's main goalkeeper is also me, not you. When Li Lei returned to the dressing room after washing up and was about to put on his own pair, Howard's sudden cold words broke the harmonious and happy atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room.

All of a sudden, everyone stopped what they were doing, quieted down, or ambiguous, or indifferent, or frowned and dissatisfied, or secretly turned their heads to look at Li Lei and Howard.

For a while, there was dead silence in the locker room!

Howard, who had received a warning from Ferguson a long time ago, originally didn't want to, and didn't dare to publicly highlight the contradiction between him and Li Lei in the locker room, but this time he couldn't help it. Just like Carol before him, Li Lei's wonderful strength and potential, as well as the huge pressure and uneasiness brought about by Ferguson's obvious favoritism, finally made him unable to hold it anymore.

In order to keep his starting position and job, he finally tore his face and completely made the contradiction between him and Li Lei public. He looked directly into Li Lei's eyes with cold, provocative eyes, and did not hide the disdain and disgust in his heart.

But Li Lei was different from when he punched Carol before, under the somewhat dissatisfied and worried gaze of Keane and others, he did not move directly in anger like that time, but the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing his trademark disdainful sneer. Then, after raising his eyebrows lightly, he glanced Howard up and down with contempt, and then turned around directly, ignoring him again.

It's not that he doesn't dare to do it, even if he still remembers Ferguson's stern warning to him at the beginning, but that's not why he didn't do it. There's only one main reason, and that's - it's not worth it!

Although Howard's eyes looked fierce, disgusted and begging just now, the panic and fear that he hid well under this look could not escape Li Lei's eyes. For such a person, he threw his fists, and then ate Ferguson and hung up fiercely, which was not worth it at all in Li Lei's opinion, and it was a business that could not be lost again.

He wouldn't do this kind of stupid business that wasn't worth it.

He seemed to be backing down, but the undisguised naked contempt and disdain he had already pierced Howard's heart with undisguised contempt and disdain, and the American goalkeeper's snort immediately became furious.

But Howard didn't dare to take the initiative at all, he could only look at Li Lei's back with resentment, and did nothing. He knew that as long as he dared to make a move now, he would definitely be swept away by Ferguson mercilessly. At this time, the situation is already different from when he dared to put pressure on Ferguson because of Li Lei's continuous and stable wonderful performance.

Looking at the undisguised disgust and dissatisfaction on the faces of Keane and the others around him, Howard, who felt a deep sense of exclusion and isolation, could only snort resentfully, and then strode out of the locker room, not wanting to, and not daring to stay for a moment longer.

That damn yellow-skinned monkey! After walking out of the locker room door, Howard's face became more and more hideous, gritting his teeth, and a little eerie.

After this game, the next League Cup game is at the end of January next year. For such a long time, as long as I perform well enough, I will see what you can do with me to compete for the main starting position. Fans can always be forgetful! I see how proud you are then?! Hum!!

These are the plans in Howard's heart, and they are the detailed plans he wants to overpower Li Lei. Since Manchester United has no real strong opponents in the Christmas schedule, he believes that he is still very sure to complete this plan, and he is very confident to overwhelm Li Lei to sit firmly in the position of Manchester United's main goalkeeper.

But what he didn't know was that Li Lei had long been clear about this, and had prepared for the worst.

It's a big deal that I'll train honestly and I can also take the opportunity to perfect the goalkeeper's playing style and other goalkeeper skills.

Li Lei is very confident and calm, he firmly believes that he can afford to wait, and he will definitely wait.

When he changed his clothes and boarded the team bus to the cheers of the United fans who had been reluctant to leave for a long time, he ignored Howard, who got on the bus first, and simply found a place away from Howard and sat down.

Turning his head to look at the Manchester United fans cheering him outside the car, he was exceptionally calm and confident.

We'll see!

Damn Yankee!!
