Chapter 147: The Long Biography of Regret
Standing on the goalline, Li Lei twisted left and right to move his waist. www.biquge.info Although the team doctor had told him that the injury to his waist was only a hard injury and was not a big problem, he still couldn't help but feel a little concerned. It was only at this moment, after feeling that there was no more discomfort in his lower back, that he relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shh!!h At that moment, a shrill boo suddenly rang out over the Old Trafford stadium.
Li Lei looked up, and sure enough, it was the late Arsenal players who were slowly entering the field. Soon, he found the tall black figure among them. Looking at Vieira, who was talking and laughing with his teammates and was very relaxed, the corners of Li Lei's mouth couldn't help but pull out a cold arc, which can be regarded as seeing the main master.
Although he wanted to teach Vieira a hard lesson immediately, Li Lei was not too eager in his heart. He has always been very patient in this kind of thing, like a seasoned hunter. Once when he was in the slums, he once had a record of standing up for 8 hours in the ice and snow of winter in order to ambush an opponent.
Compared to that time, waiting patiently on the court for more than a dozen or dozens of minutes is not too simple for him.
Although the team was beaten a little ugly by Arsenal in the first half, the United fans also weakened the slightest support for the Manchester United players on the pitch. When the second half of the game officially began, they still sent deafening cheers and songs to the Manchester United players.
And this time, the Manchester United players didn't disappoint either. While it was not possible to immediately reverse the lack of strength and overwhelm Arsenal on the pitch, their performance at the start of the second half gave United fans hope of a home win.
Following Ferguson's instructions, United launched a sudden and fierce attack at the start of the second half. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger obviously didn't expect Manchester United to dare to attack in the second half when they were so inferior in the first half, and they were suddenly beaten and caught off guard.
Just 20 seconds into the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo received Paul Scholes's ball and forced his acceleration past the somewhat distracted left wing-back Ashley Cole to complete United's first shot of the second half.
This is also the instruction given by Alex Ferguson at half-time, it is not enough to defend alone, and he asked Manchester United's attacking players to be bold in attacking and pressing, and not to let Arsenal's back line press the assist too presumptuously. In particular, it is necessary to give Arsenal's two full-backs who are very capable of assisting, and not make it as easy as in the first half.
Ronaldo's forced long-range shot outside the penalty area is a faithful implementation of Ferguson's tactical arrangement, although the powerful long-range shot with too positive angle did not break Lehmann's ten fingers, but it also made the whole Arsenal team shocked into a cold sweat, and once again raised a trace of jealousy in the heart of Manchester United's attacking ability.
Cristiano Ronaldo's forced long-range shot was the starting point, and United fired three more shots at Arsenal in the next two minutes. For a while, it was a mess of Arsenal's defense, and it also stimulated the mood of the Manchester United fans in the stands, and the applause and singing over the Old Trafford stadium were even louder, and the scene was so noisy and noisy that people couldn't hear what the people around them were saying and shouting.
One of the most threatening was Cristiano Ronaldo's third shot, which was organised by a man who surprised everyone - Li Lei in front of the Manchester United gate.
When everyone's eyes were attracted by Manchester United's ferocious offensive in the front, Li Lei, who stayed at the gate, was not idle, but kept a close eye on the development of the situation in the front. In addition to expecting a goal to happen, he is also thinking about what he can help the attack up front.
Such an idea may seem strange to a goalkeeper. But for Li Lei, who has watched the video of Ikita playing countless times, it is natural in his heart.
Like Ikita, dribbling forward to assist, no, no, in that case, the old man will definitely kill me. If I continue to advance my position and participate in the offensive organization, then I can't do it now......
Just when Li Lei was meditating, an opportunity naturally came to him. When Keown got the ball at the foot of Giggs, which Gilberto had stabbed, the Arsenal veteran looked up and suddenly saw that the likes of Scholes and Giggs had been killed in front of him like mad dogs. For a moment, he didn't have time to check the line of touching the ball, so he panicked and drove the football to the front court with a safe kick.
But what he didn't expect was that it was his big foot that gave Li Lei the opportunity to participate in the attack.
When the football was kicked high and far by Keown, everyone thought that Manchester United's fierce attack at the beginning of the second half was coming to an end, but Li Lei's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he saw a unique line.
Although his long pass was still not home, he made a decisive attack, and after running two steps against the football flying towards him, he didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, directly raised his right leg and kicked the football in the line he imagined.
At this moment, no one has any expectations for Li Lei's big foot, just that he wants to keep football in Arsenal's half as much as possible, so as to continue Manchester United's attack, and he doesn't think about it at all.
Rumble!!!
But when he fell behind Arsenal's entire back line, and Ryan Giggs stabbed out of the crowd at the same time, sprinting towards the ball at full speed, the whole Old Trafford stadium was in an uproar.
Generally speaking, in football, when the defender completes the clearance, in order to prevent the attacking side from carrying out a second wave of attacks in a row, this is also a very common offside tactic in football.
This time, the Arsenal defence pressed forward without exception. But what they didn't expect was that it was this forward pressure that left enough space for Giggs to accelerate and sprint in the middle of them. And Li Lei noticed this unexpectedly, and passed the football accurately.
It worked! It worked!! Li Lei, who rarely participated in an attack, was naturally very excited, but he didn't have time to be happy at all, but his eyes were stunned, and he eagerly stared at Giggs, who had sprinted at full speed in the frontcourt, hoping that his rare beautiful long pass could become an assist.
The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Although his long pass is already very beautiful and accurate, it is still a little more powerful. By the time Ryan Giggs managed to catch up with the ball on the ground, he was already too close to the baseline.
For a while, there was no one to support him, and when Keown, Toure and Lauren, who were chasing back quickly, saw that they were about to close him firmly, Giggs, who was unwilling to give up this rare direct face against Lehmann, had to force his feet to start the door with a very small shooting angle.
Eventually, his powerful shot into the top corner of the near corner was firmly blocked by the near post, and Lehmann reacted quickly to lift up his hands and lift the crossbar. In this way, Li Lei's beautiful long pass failed to turn into an assist after all.
"Oh~~"
In this regard, Li Lei felt the same regret and disappointment in his heart as the Manchester United fans who couldn't help but sigh at the scene.
It's just that, unlike Manchester United fans, he quickly came out of his regrets. This is not only due to his resolute personality and rarely dwelling on the regretful facts of the past for long periods of time, but also because he knows that he will soon be busy, and it is not okay not to concentrate quickly.
After all, this Arsenal team is a super strong team that surpasses Manchester United, and it is unrealistic to expect Manchester United to take advantage of this good attacking momentum to completely suppress them. At this time, the time has reached the 49th minute of the second half, and Li Lei believes that it will not be long before Arsenal's ferocious counterattack will come.
At that time, it will be the moment when he faces the most severe test.
It was destined to be very difficult, but at this moment, Li Lei's heart couldn't help but be excited and look forward to it.
He was looking forward to Arsenal's onslaught and Vieira coming to him quickly, he wanted to see the powerless and desperate look of frustration on their faces, he wanted to look down on their drooping heads as a victor, he wanted to humiliate and retaliate against them after the victory...... He wanted a lot, a lot, and he couldn't wait.
Come on! ...... Come on! ...... Come on! ......
Li Lei secretly muttered impatiently in his heart, his slightly squinted eyes were full of morbid enthusiasm and excitement, which made people feel chills!
At this time, he was like a hungry beast ambushing its prey, and he could already smell the prey, and he couldn't contain the eagerness in his heart.
Can't wait to get out!
Kill!!
Bloody !!
