This time the save, although Li Lei pounced refreshingly, this was also his only shining point in this game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, after Portsmouth's threatening counterattack, Ferguson on the sidelines could no longer tolerate Ronaldo's arbitrary behavior on the pitch. Although the development of young players needs to give him free play, it cannot be completely determined by his temperament, it needs to be stocked, and it also needs to be properly disciplined, in this regard, the old coach who has always liked to use and train new players is very clear.

"Cristiano, cooperate! Cooperate!! ”

After just yelling at Ronaldo a few times, Ferguson continued to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and returned to the coach's box. He believed that Ronaldo would not dare to disobey his instructions, and he did not think that Ronaldo, after getting his guidance, would continue to be as stupid as he was just now to hit the Portsmouth defense, knowing that he could not win by himself at present.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, Ronaldo changed his style of play. Although the feet are still fancy, there are still some sticky balls, but at least it is not as serious as before.

Although this is only a small change, it directly activates the attacking power and vitality of Manchester United's entire midfield. Soon, Portsmouth's sluggish defence was crushed by United's energetic interspersing and movement up front.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo finally completed a timely breakthrough and crossed the bottom, and finally allowed Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had been holding back the fire in his heart, to complete a comfortable goalmouth shot to break the deadlock of the game for Manchester United.

Since then, amid the tsunami cheers of Manchester United fans, Manchester United have been firmly holding Portsmouth on the pitch, completely controlling the situation, and not giving Portsmouth any chance to fight back.

This also directly led to Li Lei becoming an invisible man on the field again, except for two easy saves in the 55th and 89th minutes of the game, there was almost no chance to appear.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were crowned by Ruud van Nistelrooy's brace and Cristiano Ronaldo's icing on the cake as they won 3-0 at Old Trafford.

It was an easy victory, but Li Lei was not very happy in his heart. It's not that I don't like victory, I just feel that I have too easy and boring life in this victory.

To put it simply, his skin is itchy again, and he can't stop looking for something to do.

For a while, he couldn't think of what he could do to change the situation. It stands to reason that such an easy and freehand clean sheet game should be what every goalkeeper likes, but Li Lei has always vaguely felt in his heart that this should not be his style.

On the night of the match against Portsmouth, after dinner, he returned to his room alone, and immediately found the game videos of the world's top goalkeepers that he had been watching before and watched them again.

If you can't think of the answer alone, then learn from others and find it, which is the main reason why he can grow so fast in the goalkeeper position, in addition to his super talent.

A video of the world's top door god, he watched it as if he was looking at the flowers, his eyes were a little dull, and he never found a point that could give him aura. It wasn't until Ikita's video reappeared in his eyes that he was struck by lightning, and his eyes suddenly flashed brightly, and he cheered up.

Sure enough, it is still Ikita's "crazy" style that doesn't use his brains in the eyes of others is the most suitable for Li Lei's taste and ideas, and it is also the goalkeeper style that he likes the most and yearns for the most.

Sure enough, it still has to be like this to be strong enough. He stared at the TV screen with blazing eyes, and there was still the sluggishness and powerlessness of the soul just now.

Because he was repeatedly warned by Ferguson and Richard and others, and because he wanted to compete with Carroll and Howard as soon as possible, he unknowingly chose the conservative and steady goalkeeper style that is currently the mainstream in world football, and suppressed the bold and maverick ideas that came to his mind.

If you want to achieve the goal of becoming Manchester United's main goalkeeper as soon as possible, Li Lei's choice is not wrong. In the goalkeeper position, unlike other positions that focus on young talents, people generally prefer older goalkeepers with a stable personality rather than young and inexperienced young goalkeepers like Li Lei.

The 19-year-old wants to become Manchester United's main goalkeeper, and the best way to show Ferguson, the fans and the team is as calm as possible.

Although in the eyes of the outside world at this time, there are often conflicts between opposing players and fans, Li Lei, who often has amazing behaviors, is not calm at all. But in Li Lei's own opinion, the current situation is already enough for him to restrain himself.

Maybe he didn't suppress his nature in the rest of the field, but he played completely according to a steady word in terms of playing style, without any deviant and rebellious performance.

But this is not in line with his nature after all, there is a good saying, the country is easy to change, and the temperament is difficult to change. No matter how much it is suppressed, this thing of nature will always come out uncontrollably at some point, until one day it can no longer be suppressed.

At this time, although Li Lei can't say that he can't suppress his nature at all, and he will immediately change his style of play in the next game, the signs have already appeared. It's like grass in early spring, as long as it gets out of the ground, it will grow wildly and irrepressibly.

That night, Li Lei rewatched the video of Ikita's game several times. Until he fell asleep, his eyes were also shining, and he was fascinated.

In the days following this night, although Li Lei still worked hard, he was always a little absent-minded, as long as he was resting, he would always wander, and his mind was like a video camera, constantly touring the video of Ikita's game.

Although he had been patient, his heart was itching unbearably, like countless ants crawling around.

This feeling became even more pronounced and unbearable after Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at home in the 12th round of the Premier League, and he himself was once again idle for a full 90 minutes.

But, the reality is that he just has to endure it.

In his daily training sessions, although he tried to perform a few times out of line, such as rushing out of the penalty area to the central defender position to clear the siege and participate in the defense, receiving the ball outside the penalty area in the attack and directly participating in the attack, etc., without exception, he was immediately and mercilessly verbally warned by Ferguson.

There are only four words at the center of every warning, be honest.

Under such circumstances, Li Lei, who was still counting on Ferguson to give him more trust and let him take the position as soon as possible, did not dare to blatantly go against Ferguson's wishes.

But helplessly, no matter how much he endured it, the impulse in his heart couldn't be suppressed like seeing a ghost, which made him always lose his mind about this matter during this time, and the quality of training dropped a lot.

Fortunately, because of the arrival of Manchester United's third round of the Champions League group stage, which was hyped by the English media, he was able to divert his attention temporarily.

"The struggle for British hegemony", after the "Sun" newspaper took the lead in shouting this slogan, the media throughout Britain followed suit and participated in this hot speculation.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Liverpool and Arsenal should at least compete with Manchester United for supremacy, and Glasgow Rangers in the Soviet Super League are never among them.

But helplessly, "The Sun" is to the point well, and it is reasonable. In the whole of the United Kingdom, only the English Premier League and the Soviet Premier League can be used to shine in Europe, the direct dialogue between Manchester United and Glasgow Rangers, who were the champions of the last Premier League and the Soviet Premier League respectively, is not the "battle for British supremacy".

In terms of strength, Glasgow Rangers will certainly not be able to compete with giants such as Liverpool and Arsenal, but if you look at the reasons of The Sun, it is undoubtedly more qualified than Liverpool and Arsenal to compete with Manchester United for the position of British supremacy, after all, this is divided by geographical representation.

No matter how unreliable the topic is, it has been identified in the British media as the main gimmick for Manchester United and Rangers in the Champions League group stage.

When I saw such a media report for the first time, Li Lei, Ferguson and the whole Manchester United team players all pouted and dismissed it, saying that you should just have fun.

In an interview with the media, although Ferguson and others will say that "Rangers are the champions of the Soviet Super League, and the champions should not be taken lightly", if they really take their words seriously, they are really stupid.

At least, before this game, Li Lei only felt a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the team, and did not have the slightest feeling of facing any strong opponents and big battles.

In the hearts of the whole Manchester United team, Rangers are really only a dish, although strictly speaking, at this time, Rangers' Champions League points are one point higher than Manchester United, and even beat Stuttgart because of the relationship between victory and defeat, which is the real first place in Group E of the Champions League group at the moment.

It's just that Li Lei and the others don't take this hegemonic battle seriously, but the Glasgow Rangers don't seem to see it that way. This is something they realized when they fended off Glasgow and walked out of the airport.

In addition to a number of Manchester United fans, they were greeted by a large number of "hospitable" Rangers fans.

"Hey! Shit Manchester United guys eat shit! ”

"We're going to eat you raw at the Ebrox Stadium!"

"This is not England!"

......

Accompanied by a loud and loud invective, the Rangers fans immediately surrounded the entire United team and compared their middle fingers. If it weren't for the protection of airport security personnel, it is really hard to say whether Li Lei and the others would have left the airport smoothly.

In this regard, not to mention Ferguson's feelings of use, Li Lei couldn't be more welcome anyway. He has not been in a high mood recently, and it is when he needs this kind of hot scene and atmosphere to stimulate him.

After sitting down on the bus, he looked at the Wanderer fans outside the bus, who were fierce and vicious, with their muscles exposed, and who were still scolding or something, and his eyes flashed with interest.

Interesting!
