Edwin van der Sar, it has been etched in Ferguson's mind since he said the name to Lee Ray that night. He didn't stay overnight, and when he returned to his room that night, he couldn't wait to look up the Dutch goalkeeper's profile on the Internet.

Ferguson's sentence of "if it weren't for you" did not make Li Lei let down his vigilance, but took it completely seriously. After all, if there are too many chances, then if one day, or a certain period of time, he suddenly does not perform well and cannot satisfy the team and fans, then the Dutch goalkeeper will be the person to replace him, just like he replaced Howard now.

Although with Li Lei's self-confidence, he didn't think that he would be so down-and-out, and his personality would not let him fall to that point even if he died, but no matter what, it didn't prevent him from thinking about the future of this possibility. Because, people are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens.

Recently, he was a little uneasy about his future opponent, and the appearance of the name Van der Sar could be regarded as a response to his psychology during this time.

However, for Li Lei, this is not entirely bad news.

A visible opponent is at least more reassuring than an unknown opponent. Before overcoming the sense of insecurity, Li Lei could only use hard training to numb himself, and he still had no bottom in his heart. But now the situation is different, an example that can be used by him for research and actual comparison is placed in front of him, so that he has an obvious goal, no longer just running around alone.

This may only have a small effect, but it can greatly reduce the pressure that Li Lei has accumulated in his heart during this time.

For people like Li Lei, who are aggressive by nature and have a tough character, what will make them embarrassed is not those difficulties that seem like unshakable mountains, but those bumps and difficulties that are simply unpredictable, which will bring huge pressure to their hearts, just like Li Lei's situation now.

Compared with this, it is to put mountains in front of them, which will make them feel much easier, after all, no matter how difficult the situation is, it is just a "stupid" fool.

What's more, the current Van der Sar is far from being a mountain in Li Lei's eyes.

But there's no denying that this is really a world-class goalkeeper and has a fantastic resume. Although his short two-year experience at Juventus has made his career a little bleak, and he has lost the glory of winning the treble at Ajax at the beginning, he has played for two giants in a row, served as the starting main goalkeeper, and has seen many big scenes, which is enough to prove his excellent and top ability, and it also makes people instinctively trust this old goalkeeper.

Perhaps the 31-year-old who left Juventus, and two years of unimpressive performances, have relegated the world's top goalkeeper to the bottom of the Premier League, nicknamed Fulham, but in Li Lei's view, this is definitely an underestimation of the veteran's ability.

After watching some of Van der Sar's videos of the game at Fulham, he immediately summed up the good qualities in Van der Sar and came to this conclusion.

Tall and powerful stature, extremely fast reaction speed, veteran experience and natural talent for position selection are all advantages that Li Lei summed up from Van der Sar. However, he doesn't pay much attention to the quality of these very good goalkeepers, because Van der Sar has, he has almost everything, at most, because there are not many games, and he is slightly lacking in experience.

What really made him feel threatened from Van der Sar was the veteran's all-round look. In addition to saves, Van der Sar's ability to attack with a hand-tossed ball and his excellent level of long passing have dwarfed the current Li Lei.

Although Li Lei is also practicing his skills in this area now, compared to Van der Sar, who has been mature for an unknown period of time, no matter how hard he works and trains hard, Li Lei will not be able to catch up in these short days.

Although Li Lei's own physical talent is enough to defy the sky, he has not yet been demonic to the extent of being open.

is very honest about his shortcomings and never hides them, which is one of Li Lei's advantages. Moreover, he was a decisive man of action, and early the next morning of the night, he went to Carrington to train early in the morning when the other Manchester United players were still on their regular rest. Before even Richard and the others arrived, he began the long-pass training that he had been intensifying for a while.

Then, even under the persuasion of Richard and others on the grounds of a dense schedule, Li Lei did not completely stop training, but only slightly reduced his training volume.

Such an unobstructed paranoid act made Richard and others have to report the situation to Ferguson with fear. They obviously thought that Li Lei had been stimulated by something to make such a slightly irrational move, and hoped that Ferguson could personally intervene to dissuade him.

However, as soon as Ferguson heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. After scolding Li Lei in his heart with satisfaction, Ferguson did not come forward to stop Li Lei as Richard and others wished, but deliberately arranged for the staff of Manchester United's team medical team to come over and participate in the whole process. instructed Richard to continue to let Li Lei train as long as the team doctor did not object, but he and the team doctor should pay close attention to his physical condition, so as to strictly control the amount of training, and don't really get injured because of training.

Through this arrangement, it can be clearly seen that Ferguson is very satisfied and gratified with Li Lei's performance after he sat in the position of the starting main goalkeeper.

Lao Shuai didn't expect that he had no intention of mentioning this, and he would have such a good unintentional joy. Through this incident, Lao Shuai also faintly felt how to better train Li Lei in ordinary times. In the past, he has always been very satisfied with everything Li Lei has, but he only hates Li Lei's occasional "audacity". I don't know how many times I have tried various methods, and Li Lei has always been as unmoved as a hob meat.

But this time, he saw the stubborn problem of "helping" Li Lei to get rid of the stubborn problem of occasionally ignoring the majesty of his coach, that is, to establish a visible opponent for him.

Edwin......

With this thought, Ferguson has been pondering the name in his heart. Before Li Lei, he did have a mind about the old Dutch goalkeeper, but after seeing Li Lei's current strength, huge potential and rapid progress, he gave up this idea.

After all, in his original plan, as long as Li Lei and Howard are there, Manchester United should no longer need to make up for the goalkeeper for a long time to come. But now the situation has changed, he didn't expect that Li Lei would be so soon, this season to overturn Howard's ass starting main position, seeing that Howard will definitely leave in the summer transfer window, Manchester United is not going to strengthen the goalkeeper position now. Li Lei is good enough, but United must have a backup option.

Originally, Ferguson had been hesitant about this choice, but now Van der Sar suddenly touched his heart.

34 years old, old enough, don't worry about him competing for a position with that stinky boy, the strength is enough, and it is stable enough, and it can still stimulate that stinky boy enough, is it catfish effect......

The more he thought about it, the more Ferguson felt that Van der Sar was the second goalkeeper for Manchester United. Just look at Lao Shuai's increasingly bright and energetic eyes at this moment, those who are familiar with him know that Lao Shuai obviously has made up his mind.

But what Ferguson didn't know was that Van der Sar, who he thought was the perfect candidate at this time, caused a violent upheaval directly related to Li Lei in the United team in the future.

I have to say that things are always so funny.

The current Ferguson could not have imagined that in the future, he would yelled three times because of his decision at this moment today: "Fuck! ”

"Fuck!!"

"Fuck !!"
