"Toot! Honk! Toot-"

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the scoreboard at Old Trafford was still hung with two big '0's'. Arsenal's revenge battle against Manchester United, which attracted the attention of the entire English football world before the game, ended with such a slightly anticlimactic ending.

However, although the two sides ended up with a draw, it was not a dull game for neutral fans. Except for the lack of goals during the game, which seemed to be a little flawed, the whole game made them watch it with relish and blood from beginning to end.

One of the commentators of the match clearly shared this sentiment and summed up the game this way: "Aside from the lack of goals, this game is definitely another classic matchup in the Premier League this season. Although United's decline in strength this season has prevented it from going head-to-head with Arsenal as a whole, their tenacious fighting spirit and performances at home still give a hint of a return to next season after the summer transfer window. I think that after such a game, the conclusion that the Premier League is about to usher in the Arsenal era that was touted by some before the game can be put aside for the time being. There is no doubt that Chelsea, who have risen this season, and Manchester United, who are still in the ascendant, will be the defenders of next season's Premier League title and challenge Arsenal. Regardless of Chelsea's unbeaten record against Arsenal this season, Manchester United's unbeaten record and performances against Arsenal are enough to keep people looking forward to the future of this Red Devils. ”

"In addition to the fierce confrontation between the two teams as a whole, the direct confrontation and opposition of individual position players in the two teams in this game is undoubtedly quite classic. Among them, the most outstanding is undoubtedly the several direct conversations between Thierry Henry and Manchester United's Asian goalkeeper Lee. Thierry Henry's performance needs no more to say, and if it weren't for his bad luck, Arsenal would never have just been able to draw a game. ”

"And Lee was able to keep a clean sheet in this game, although there was some luck to help, but the quality of the goalkeeper position shown by this young man is enough to make us all look sideways. His technical prowess, his talent, and his super-human and bold technical style have all been tested again and again in big scenes, and they have been verified before our eyes. Today's game is another masterpiece of his ability to prove his worth and strength. It's just shocking! We can't ask him to do better, and no matter who comes in the many goalkeepers in world football, I am afraid that he will not be able to pat his chest and guarantee that he can perform better than Lee in this game! ”

'There's no doubt that because of him, United won't have to think about goalkeepers for a long time to come. We have said this sentence many times before, and today Lee verified it again with his own performance. He's an absolute genius goalkeeper! Undoubted genius!! ”

"Now, here, I suddenly think of a bold proposal. Hey, Swede (England national team coach Eriksen), what are you waiting for! He-Man's successor is here! Take him to Lisbon (Euro 04 in Portugal)! What are you waiting for?!! ......”

At this time, Li Lei didn't know that someone was already shouting for him to be called up to the England national team. He was pouting incessantly, looking dejectedly at the entrance of the player's tunnel that had just engulfed Henry's figure.

Although there was no winner between Manchester United and Arsenal in this game, the duel between him and Thierry Henry, the two goalkeepers and strikers, could be regarded as a score. Although there was some luck in the process, this did not prevent Li Lei from feeling proud of it.

Forcing Henry at his peak to a psychological breakdown, putting it on any goalkeeper in the rest of world football, there is no guarantee that he will definitely be able to do it. Therefore, although the team did not seize the opportunity of Arsenal's collapse and won in the end, Li Lei couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but the fact that he beat Henry in the game still made him feel proud and proud.

In normal times, although Li Lei is a person with strong psychological quality, who can endure and stay calm at all times, he has always been a person who can't hide his emotions and wants to release this kind of thing.

But what he didn't expect was that Henry would give him any chance to come to the door to provoke.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the French striker walked directly to the player's tunnel with his head down, leaving no time for Li Lei to speak provocatively. I don't know if it's because I didn't score in this game and felt shameless to see Jiangdong's father, or if I was consciously avoiding Li Lei's time after the game, anyway, his behavior caused Li Lei to be resentful and dissatisfied for a while.

Fortunately, Manchester United fans quickly calmed Li Lei's "wounded" heart with their applause and cheers. For him, the biggest contributor to Manchester United's thrilling and thrilling draw in the face of Arsenal's strong attack, they will naturally not be stingy with any praise and praise.

Unlike the handful of Arsenal fans in the stadium who left the stadium disappointed after the game, most United fans were calmer and more sensible.

While they regret that they didn't take advantage of the last chance to score late in the game and then win, they are more concerned about the future of the team than on the outcome of a league that has nothing to do with any title or glory, but is just a battle of spirit and grievances, even if the opponent is the team's old rivals Arsenal in the Premier League.

There is no doubt that they see a bright future for the team from the team's tenacious and resolute on-field performance throughout the game and the outstanding performances of young people such as Li Lei and Cristiano Ronaldo. Therefore, even if Manchester United won this game, they still stood in place with smiles on their faces and applauded and cheered for the performance of Manchester United players.

"Lee! Plum! Plum! ......”

Of course, Li Lei, who was undoubtedly the best player in the Manchester United team in this game, naturally received the most enthusiastic applause. And this is what Li Lei deserves.

The camera at the scene obviously agreed with the Manchester United fans, and when Li Lei smiled and raised his hands to applaud the cheers of the Manchester United fans, it kept staring at Li Lei, and faithfully recorded the next Li Lei, who rose up in the cheers of the Manchester United fans, directly threw his gloves under his armpits into the stands, causing a burst of excitement among Manchester United fans.

This scene was watched by all the people who were still watching TV at this time through the TV broadcast camera, including some people with "ulterior motives".

London, in an office.

At this time, two middle-aged white men were pointing to Li Lei on the video screen and talking.

"Sven (Eriksen), what do you think of this lad?"

"How's that?" A white man in his 50s, dressed in a fine suit and glasses, Erikson stretched out his hands, smiled, and asked back.

"Are you playing dumb? What do you think of what the commentator just said, can we call him up to the national team? ”

Erikson didn't answer immediately, but looked at Li Lei's figure on the TV screen and was silent.

From time to time, there was a gleam in his eyes.

Lost in thought.
