Li Lei's wonderful save at the beginning not only cheered and cheered the Manchester United fans at the scene, but also made Coleman, who was standing in front of the Fulham coach's box on the sidelines, wave his hand in disappointment.

Li Lei in front of the goal also saw this scene, but he didn't have any special reaction, but turned his head very calmly and focused on the game again. He knew very well that this was just the beginning, and that it wasn't enough to really teach Coleman a lesson.

After the game restarted, Ferguson immediately rushed to the sideline and scolded Phil Neville, who had just neglected and slipped away Levisky. Clearly, he was unhappy with the Manchester United veteran's lack of concentration after the opening kick-off.

It's not that the boss made a fuss and reacted violently in the face of this small mistake within the normal range, but from the beginning of the Champions League knockout match with Porto, the phenomenon of Manchester United players' frequent lack of concentration on the field has really worried him. Seeing that he finally got better against Tottenham and returned to a normal level, he was also deeply afraid that the team and the players would repeat the same mistakes again.

And Ferguson is clearly not alone in this concern. Lineker, who was once again sent to explain the Manchester United game, analyzed after Levinsky's high-quality long-range shot was saved: "Manchester United were caught off guard by Fulham, and Phil Neville's concentration was obviously a little unfocused. I don't know if this means that Manchester United is still not out of the whirlpool of the slump some time ago, and the last victory over Tottenham Hotspur is just a special case and not representative. If Manchester United's slump some time ago was largely due to personnel shortages and physical impacts, then if they haven't reversed this point until now, it must be that Manchester United's daily training and management have gone wrong, and have not played enough to spur Manchester United players out of physical and mental exhaustion. ......”

However, he and Ferguson clearly overthought it. As the game resumed, the Manchester United players quickly proved with their performances that they had shaken off the slump of the previous period and were back on track.

After Ferguson's angry scolding, not only Manchester United's backline immediately cheered up and strictly suppressed Fulham's offensive, but even Ronaldo and others, who had just returned from injury, also set off a fierce offensive in the front court, showing a good competitive state.

This phenomenon was immediately reflected in the mental state of the United fans in the stands at Old Trafford, and from the opening exclamation, their passionate and excited cheers and songs were always wafting through the stadium.

Since then, Old Trafford has finally regained some of its former appearance. Recently, after being eliminated from the Champions League by Porto, trapped by Manchester United's overall sluggish performance, it has been a long time since Manchester United fans had such a joyful and magnificent sight.

Now, after seeing Manchester United suppress Fulham on the field and launch wave after wave of powerful attacks that Manchester United fans are familiar with, Manchester United fans are always relieved and enjoy this Manchester United-led Dream Theater football feast with peace of mind.

Fulham, on the other hand, was immediately suppressed by Manchester United after the amazing long-range shot in the opening game, and had to turn to a defensive posture.

However, this is also in line with everyone's expectations before the game, and it is not surprising at all.

Fulham have been one of the teams to have been surprisingly good in the Premier League this season, but no matter how you count them, it can't change the fact that they are a mediocre team. Essentially, the overall quality is not much higher than that of the teams lower in the table, but it is the impressive performances of a group of players such as Saha that have led to Fulham's excellent results so far this season. In terms of tactical play and team structure, it is an ordinary traditional English team, and there is nothing new and special about it.

So, all in all, it would be untenable to say how much quality Coleman has at the coaching level that has led to Fulham's outstanding results this year, at least in this regard.

Of course, at least Coleman's coaching strength must be qualified and can control the entire Fulham team, otherwise, even if Saha and other players have the strength, I am afraid they will not be able to fully play.

Clearly, though, Coleman himself certainly doesn't think so. Ambitious, he has already put the hat of Fulham's number one contributor to this season's outstanding results in his mind, thinking that he is the most indispensable one for this Fulham team, otherwise, he will definitely not be full of anxiety and dissatisfaction at this moment to scold the Fulham players who have been forced to retreat by Manchester United, and keep making gestures to make them press the attack.

Because a manager who is sensible enough must recognise what the loss of a goalscorer like Saha, who can score 53 goals in 116 games, means to a civilian team like Fulham. Rather than blindly thinking that as long as you are still on the sidelines, you can erase the impact of losing the team's absolute attacking core not long ago.

Although McBride, who he promoted to replace Saha, did perform well, he clearly overestimated McBride's quality, and he was an average goalscorer compared to Saha. Otherwise, Fulham, who had just beaten 3-1 at Old Trafford last October, would have struggled to fight back against Manchester United's attacking fists as they are now.

Under such circumstances, Li Lei, who guards the gate of Manchester United, naturally inevitably fades out of the public eye temporarily and becomes idle. On the other hand, Van der Sar, who is far away from him, has become the busiest person in the Fulham team on the field now, and perhaps the most dazzling person on the field at the moment.

In the face of Manchester United's suppressive attack, the Dutch veteran, who was considered by Li Lei to be underestimated by the outside world, handed over a stunning answer sheet on the field that made everyone pay attention, even Li Lei was no exception.

In the ninth minute of the first half, he first used a quick reaction that did not fit his 34-year-old "advanced age" to deny Keane's almost close header from this corner.

4 minutes later, it was he who relied on accurate position selection and accurate observation to hold Scholes's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area firmly in his arms, and did not give Vanney, Ronaldo and others in the penalty area any chance to make up the shots.

After making Manchester United fans sigh with regret for two consecutive goals in a row, it is not the end of his wonderful performance. In the next 10 minutes, he made several consecutive high blocks, and used his airtight perfect performance to make the Manchester United attack group composed of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs and others take home.

The highlight of these was his incredible save in the 21st minute of the first half from Ryan Giggs' shot into the far corner.

Seeing this, not only were all the Manchester United fans on the scene stunned, as if they were so disappointed that they couldn't believe what was in front of them, but even Lineker couldn't help but shout passionately: "Edwin van der Sar!" What a beautiful save! Perfect save!! The Dutch veteran, is he really 34?! Is it really 34 years old?!! My God, it's unbelievable! Just now, in the face of Giggs's kick of the world wave, he completed the instant from the near corner to the far corner, and his skills are simply more flexible than Spider-Man! Agile!! In this moment, he is the patron saint in front of Fulham's goal, allowing Manchester United's powerful attacking group to come to naught! Helpless!! ......”

Compared with Van der Sar, who is shining in the front court at the moment and is in everyone's attention, Li Lei, who is staying in the back court at the moment, seems to have become a cold dish residue that no one cares about, and no one pays attention to it at all.

Shh

In this regard, Li Lei immediately pursed his lips unhappily, and the unconvincing anger filled the corners of his eyes and mouth, up and down, and it was simply beyond words.

His eyes were fixed on the striker's tall figure of Van der Sar, who was far away from him.

Coupled with the tightly pursed lips, it all shows a point. Now Li Lei is very unhappy!

Extremely unpleasant!!

It's so unpleasant that it's about to explode!!
