Winning the Community Shield and putting Arsenal in a big shot ahead of the season was certainly in a good mood for Ferguson. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But his mood hasn't been in good times for a few days before he is completely ruined by bad news.

Seeing that the opening game of the new Premier League season is about to start three days later, but American Howard, the starting main goalkeeper that Ferguson believes in his heart, is still injured and unable to play.

After the Community Shield, Howard's shoulder injury became a daily focus for Ferguson. Originally, the team doctor told him that the injury should not be a problem, and with proper treatment and recuperation, the American goalkeeper could basically catch up with Manchester United's home game against Bolton Wanderers in the opening game.

However, just yesterday, Ferguson, who received a call from Manchester United's chief team doctor, got the worst news. Originally, Howard's shoulder injury was almost healed, but who knew that it suddenly changed the night before, and the injury suddenly worsened.

The shoulder injury was aggravated by poor sleeping position. While this is a reason that can't be more nonsense, that's what Howard himself told the Manchester United team doctor, and that's what the team doctor told Ferguson.

One can imagine how ridiculous and angry Ferguson felt when he heard the news. He didn't believe that Howard, who was already an old fritter, would make such a ridiculous mistake, just like a young player who had no experience in protecting his body.

Ferguson, who has already brought countless players with him, almost doesn't have to think about it to know that the real reason for this is definitely not some ridiculous poor sleeping position, but that this American is too amorous in bed at night. Then he didn't pay attention, which made his shoulder injury, which was already about to heal, recur.

After finally getting the final diagnosis of Howard by the team doctor today, and affirming that he would not be able to participate in the opening game, Ferguson, who was already full of anger about it, finally couldn't help it, called Howard, who was still recovering from his injuries, into his office, and sprayed him with a hair dryer with the maximum wind power for nearly an hour.

Later, according to Ferguson's secretary Lucy Woman Gossip, the poor American should have never seen this kind of battle, but he is also a dignified man, when he left Ferguson's office, he was like a little boy who had just been beaten by his father's buttocks, and his face was so frightened that he almost ran out of Ferguson's office.

Thanks to Mrs. Lucy's mouthy characteristic, it wasn't long before the news spread throughout Carrington's training base. Even Li Lei, who has always been so indifferent that he doesn't get close to others, but just trains every day, also learned this little news.

Among them, there is a part about whether Howard is injured or not, and how he is injured, and he cares at all. The only thing that can give him some snacks is that since Howard has confirmed that he will not be able to play in the opening game, does that mean that he has a chance to be in the opening game.

Although the Premier League's squad of only 16 players per league game has been complained about, and calls for the use of 18-man squad have been repeated one after another, due to the FA's low efficiency, this point is still being discussed and has not yet been officially implemented. So until now, the Premier League has been a spectacle of only five substitutes on the bench.

It is precisely for this reason that in view of the general situation that goalkeepers rarely make two consecutive changes in a game, the Premier League's 16-man squad often has only two goalkeepers, one starter and one substitute.

In view of this, Ferguson's choice to deliberately put Li Lei in the reserve team to play games and practice in the new season is certainly due to the fact that Li Lei himself is not mature enough, but such an objective limiting factor is the main reason.

As long as the two goalkeepers, Howard and Carroll, are healthy and do not have too many problems in their condition, Li Lei, who is too young, may not be able to enter Manchester United's 16-man squad at all, let alone play.

Regarding this, although Li Lei has been appointed and accepted, if he has no unwilling words in his heart, it must be false. It was under such circumstances that Li Lei, who happened to hear that Howard was unable to play in the opening game due to injury, naturally had the idea of entering the opening game squad in his heart.

Considering that the French goalkeeper Butters has almost publicly broken with Manchester United, and now that he has not even come to the Carrington base, Li Lei does not think that Ferguson will lower his body to invite the French bald head back.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Lei, who had just finished a group of training, was resting, and immediately threw himself into training again. The joy and excitement on his face that couldn't be concealed, as long as he was a clear-eyed person, he could see what this kid was thinking in his heart.

"Humph! What a shit luck boy! Seeing Li Lei's appearance, Ronaldo, who was drinking water and resting on the side, couldn't help but snort coldly and said with an unhappy face.

Although he is the new owner of Manchester United's No. 7 shirt, because he has just joined the team, Ferguson did not let him immediately participate in the training of the first team, and temporarily arranged him in the reserve team, with Jimmy himself leading the training.

It stands to reason that to be able to get such a treatment under Ferguson and in Manchester United's Carrington training base, Ronaldo, who is only 18 years old this year, should be proud and satisfied enough.

But I don't know if it's the reason for the disagreement, since he and Li Lei met for the first time in Ferguson's office, he and Li Lei have no intersection and contradictions, no matter how you look at it, you feel that Li Lei is not very pleasing to the eye.

And Li Lei didn't think much of him, anyway, he didn't know if it was because of the incompatibility, the relationship between the two young people had always been very stiff, even if they had been training in the reserve team for so many days, there was no improvement.

And, on the contrary, there is a worsening trend. From being completely regarded as a supporting role at the press conference, to Li Lei's "fame" in the Community Shield, anyway, his sense of rejection of Li Lei in his heart has become stronger and stronger.

This sense of exclusion is not disgust, but racial discrimination or something, and perhaps it should be more appropriately described as competition and antagonism.

Ronaldo's voice is not small, as long as he is not deaf, it is impossible for Li Lei, who is training on the side, not to hear it. Obviously, he said this to Li Lei.

"Alright, today's tennis training is over. Lee: You can go and do other regular training. I don't know if it's providence, it's just so coincidental, at this moment, Richard announced that Li Lei's one-day tennis training is over, and he can start other regular training.

According to Richard's plan, Li Lei had about 15 minutes of rest in between. For Li Lei, these 15 minutes were just a boring time to sit and drink a few sips of water. But after hearing Ronaldo's words, he suddenly had other plans in his heart.

The corners of his mouth habitually brought a provocative sneer, and he walked directly to Ronaldo, who was sitting on the sidelines resting, stared at each other's eyes with a downward gaze, and said in a provocative tone: "From now on, I have 15 minutes of free time, do you dare to make a bet with me, little white face." ”

In the face of such a face-to-face provocation, how could Ronaldo, who has strong self-esteem, retreat, he looked at Li Lei without showing weakness, stood up suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and asked confrontally: "What bet?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that he had just arrived and didn't want to cause trouble, he would have gone to Li Lei's trouble a long time ago. This time, since Li Lei sent it to the door by himself, he naturally couldn't let it go because he was extremely confident in his strength.

Looking at Ronaldo's fighting spirit and confident expression, Li Lei couldn't help but slightly lower the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and made a disdainful "I'm so afraid" expression.

When he saw the angry look on Ronaldo's face, he sneered with satisfaction and said, "It's very simple. 10 penalties, you kick me and I defend. You get in one, and I pounce on one of them. Whoever loses will have to run errands and hand out water and towels to the other party. If it's a tie, even if I lose. ”

As soon as Li Lei's words came out, Ronaldo was suddenly aroused, and even his voice suddenly increased. looked at Li Lei, who was calm and calm, very annoyed, and said loudly: "No need." As long as you can save more than three penalties from me, I lose. ”

"Okay." Li Lei immediately responded, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth became even bigger.

There is a cheap and not a bastard. This is the habitual style that Li Lei developed in the slums. Since Ronaldo is so "confident", he will not compete with the other party on this kind of issue for the sake of momentary will. Victory is the last word, and the means and processes other than that are not important, is his philosophy of survival.

And Ronaldo was angry with Li Lei's shameless appearance without hesitation, and said that the battle for the meaning of youth and youth was good. In fact, he regretted what he had just said.

Although he is very confident in his archery skills and is also very conceited, compared to this, he would rather see Li Lei lose and see Li Lei run errands for himself. Although the rule he later proposed was more uplifting, there is no doubt that if he bet according to the rule that Li Lei said, he would have a better chance of winning.

But now that the words have been spoken, the arrogant Ronaldo has no intention of changing it again. Although he said that the odds of winning would be lower, he believed that no matter how he calculated, his chances of winning would be higher.

In this way, the two quickly put on a stand in front of the door.

I really think I'm very powerful, I must kill your majesty today. Looking at Li Lei, who looked calm and calm on the goal line, Ronaldo thought viciously.

At this time, the two who were looking at each other, and only each other was left in their eyes, did not notice, it turned out that they didn't know when Ferguson came to the sideline and was looking at the two of them with interest.

Although Ferguson has always paid attention to the unity of the team, he does not object to this kind of benign competition between the two young people, but likes to see it. These two are his optimistic hopes for the future of Manchester United, so he was suddenly a little curious about who would win this innocuous little bet between the two.

"Come on, first ball." After leaning down and opening his long arms to get ready, Li Lei stood on the goal line and stared at Ronaldo and said.

In this regard, Ronaldo didn't say much, and simply started running.

But the simplicity of his actions does not represent his inner peace. In the end, he was only 18 years old, and Ronaldo hadn't even reconciled his emotions at all, so he started in a hurry as soon as he came up.

He was in too much of a hurry.

And this caused him to exert too much force.

So, when he shot the first penalty, Li Lei, who had already judged in advance that the football would fly high, even stood up directly and did not make any more saves at all.

In the end, the result of this shot, just as he expected, went straight over the crossbar.

Looking at Ronaldo, who looked annoyed and unwilling, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted together, Li Lei suddenly began to applaud vigorously, and shouted loudly in an encouraging tone: "Good job!" Good job! is worthy of Manchester United's new No.7, this shot is really 'standard'. ”

Li Lei's bad words immediately made Ferguson on the sidelines couldn't help laughing.

And Ronaldo was obviously angry about this, staring at Li Lei, and his two eyes were about to fly out.

In this regard, Li Lei naturally smiled.

And the flower language of this flower is, you have the ability to beat me.

You fight.

Seeing Li Lei's look, Ferguson on the sidelines couldn't help but shake his head and smile absurdly. But in his heart, he had already made a decision about Li Lei.

Stinky boy, you're cheap.
