Chapter 122: Bad News

"Do you still want to question him?! Do you still want to question him?!! There is no doubt that Lee will be one of United's biggest discoveries of the season! In front of him, Henry, Bergkamp, Pire, Gerrard, Owen and many more have all fallen, let's wait and see who will be next next! Ericsson! Swedes, what are you waiting for?!! England's national gate is here!! ......”

While the commentators in Manchester were busy singing the praises of Li Lei, the scene at Anfield was already a cool scene of defeat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Li Lei turned his head to celebrate this hard-won victory with Keane and them, the Liverpool fans who were still menacing just now suddenly quieted down, and looked speechlessly at the Liverpool players scattered on the pitch who were either standing on their waists, or unable to lie down, or covering their faces gloomily.

Steven Gerrard's goal gave them hope of victory, and the repeated mistakes in the Manchester backline made them fantasize about a big victory, but the end result was too cruel for them to face. Seeing the Manchester United celebrating their victory at Anfield, perhaps these Liverpool fans in the stands were the saddest ones.

But in any case, they are loyal KOPs, they support the great Red Army Liverpool, and here is their holy land, Anfield. Liverpool may lose here, but they will never be defeated here.

At this moment, in this bleak wind and cold rain, when tens of thousands of Liverpool fans began to sing "You Will Never Walk Alone" again, the grandeur, unyielding and tragic singing was enough to move everyone, and Li Lei was no exception.

"This group of bastards has a great group of fans." In this regard, Keane, who had just finished hugging Li Lei, sighed.

Li Lei looked at this magnificent scene wordlessly, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, yes, this group of bastards has a group of great fans. He wasn't a music lover, but he was blown away by the singing of Liverpool fans at the moment.

It's just that Li Lei is Li Lei after all, he is mentally resolute and unshakable, he rarely is disturbed by the outside world for a long time, he quickly came back to his senses, and an idea popped up in his mind, that's it, there is such a group of fans, it is interesting to play with Liverpool, endure *!

The corners of his mouth curled, and he couldn't help but be amused by the thought of himself.

However, happy to be happy, such an idea is indeed the most in line with Li Lei's nature. For him, the more tenacious the enemy, the more interesting and energetic it is to destroy. If it was against opponents who could easily disarm and surrender, he probably wouldn't have the interest to keep provoking and fighting like he did today.

At this moment, he is already looking forward to the next encounter with Liverpool and Liverpool fans.

The existence of Gerrard's goal, although this game is not so flawless for him, but being able to defeat such a tenacious and difficult opponent still makes Li Lei very high-spirited.

It's just that his joy didn't last long, and he was soon completely knocked out by a bad news coming out of Ferguson's mouth.

"I just got a text message from Howard's agent, it seems that he is fully recovered from his injury and can't wait to come back to play and make his due contribution to the team." When Li Lei walked to the sideline and hugged Ferguson, the old Scottish coach whispered in his ear.

Under Ferguson's meaningful gaze, Li Lei, who heard this, instantly turned pale and fell so cold that he didn't know a lot of ice slag. That damn Yankee! He certainly knows what the news means, meaning his short life as United's first-choice goalkeeper is coming to an end.

Moreover, in addition to this, Howard also made another small calculation Li Lei also clear, and the key point is Manchester United's next round opponent Chelsea.

When the Russian oligarch rich Abu took over Chelsea this summer and wantonly squandered 200 million pounds of money on Chelsea, not only solving Chelsea's heavy debts, but also bringing Veron, Makelele, Duff, Joe Cole, Crespo and other powerful stars to the Blues, Chelsea's golden football storm this season has long gone beyond English football and attracted the attention of the whole Europe.

Under the pinch of Italian coach Ranieri, the new generation of Chelsea, which is nicknamed the "mercenary" in England, has changed its weak performance in the new season, including this round of the league, which has won 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and it is only one point behind Manchester United, which won Liverpool in this round, and is in three places in the Premier League standings.

Therefore, the direct dialogue between Manchester United and Chelsea in the league is not as tepid as in previous seasons, this direct dialogue between the two teams has already attracted the attention of the entire English football world, the tickets for Stamford Bridge on the day of the game were sold out more than a month ago, and only on the black market there are still ultra-high-priced tickets waiting for the owner, and the number is still very few, and there is no market at all.

It can be said that in terms of attention, it is no worse than this red derby. Even faintly better, after all, Chelsea are the new upstarts and new forces in English football, and people are always more inclined to new things.

Therefore, as long as he can appear in this game and perform well, then this player is bound to attract a wide range of public opinion and attention after the game.

And that's what Li Lei wants. Although he had accepted Ferguson's arrangement before, that didn't mean he was just tied up, and seeing Howard continue to press him and firmly sit in the position of Manchester United's starting goalkeeper, Howard's previous unexpected injury gave him an opportunity.

In his original plan, the two league games against Liverpool and Chelsea were the key core. As long as he can put in a game-changing performance in these two games, the outside world, especially among Manchester United fans, will support him to take the position immediately and replace Howard as Manchester United's main goalkeeper.

You know, he still has the big BUFF of Carrington's youth base, and it has long been a practice for Manchester United fans to support and be willing to see Manchester United academy youngsters get ahead at Manchester United.

In this way, even the Manchester United hierarchy who favor Howard will have to think twice about whether they really want to continue to support the Americans.

As for Ferguson, Li Lei is not too worried. He had already noticed that the American's fluctuating form and frequent injuries had already made the Scottish coach's support for Howard less than it had been at the start of the season.

If everything goes according to his mind, with his potential and performance, coupled with his relationship with Alex Ferguson, he doesn't see any reason for the Scottish boss to push the boat and let him go straight to the top.

It was a good plan, and he put in an irrepressible performance against Liverpool, but unfortunately he was only halfway through the execution and had to be interrupted by Ferguson's words.

Lao Shuai's behavior of saying this to him at this time has already shown Li Lei Lao Shuai's thoughts, accept his arrangement, continue to be patient, and never allow the incident of blatant confrontation in the team like Carol before to happen again.

What can Li Lei do about this?

He couldn't do anything. Neither in public nor in private, he could find any reason to oppose Ferguson's arrangement.

"Humph!" With a soft snort, he let go of Ferguson, then immediately turned his head and walked to the players' tunnel. Understanding and accepting, but never willing, is what he wants to show his attitude.

Li Lei's rare childish performance made Ferguson stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but be happy. After looking at Li Lei's tall figure with satisfaction, he scolded with a smile: "This stinky boy! ”

'When you go back to the dressing room, remember to take care of your wounds, Frank and they [Manchester United's medical staff] are already waiting for you." The old man shouted a reminder to Li Lei with concern.

Li Lei, who was depressed, didn't answer, but waved his hand with his back to Ferguson, like an adolescent who had a conflict with his parents, which made it very clear, I know (don't talk to me anymore).

Ferguson wasn't the only one who ate behind closed doors, and the reporters who interviewed Li Lei on the sidelines immediately afterwards tasted the same treatment. Originally, under the private "persuasion" of the FA and the persuasion of Ferguson, Mendes and others, Li Lei did not say that he was enthusiastic and cooperative when he was interviewed by reporters, but at least he could be regarded as answering all questions. But at this moment, Li Lei is in no mood to talk to reporters.

In this reporter's view, Li Lei is a "recurrence of the old disease".

"Lee, how do you think you performed in this game?"

"Not bad." Li Lei spat out two words with an expression on his face.

"I didn't ...... Gone? The reporter didn't react.

"Hmm." Continue to be expressionless.

“......”

"And what do you think of Owen?" The unbearable reporter churned with bad water in his stomach.

"Hmm."

This time, the reporter almost couldn't hold back the boiling power in his body, and directly slapped the microphone on Li Lei's face, this job can't be done!

......

When Li Lei finished the post-match interview "concisely and to the point", he immediately turned around and left, not looking at the iron-clad face of the reporter next to him. He has long lived in the slums, and he has long been used to being alone, and he naturally does not like to cater to others, and he does not disdain to look at other people's faces. At his core, he can be considered an egotist through and through.

In the words of the second disease in the sentence, after I die, who cares about his flood?!

At this moment, Li Lei's mind has been put on Howard, who is about to make a comeback.

Damn the Yankees! Hum!! We'll see!!

Li Lei's eyes flashed with a cold gaze.

Cold!

And, hideous!!
