With two consecutive away victories against rival Leeds United, Manchester United finally got out of the slump and temporarily escaped from the blacklist criticized by the media and reporters, and the pressure of public opinion on the whole team suddenly lightened.

This allows them to return to Manchester with a very relaxed mindset to host their opponents in the 11th round of the Premier League this season, Premier League mid-table rivals Portsmouth.

Before the game, it was widely believed that Portsmouth would not cause any problems at Old Trafford against Manchester United, who had come out of the slump, and could not escape the fate of an away defeat.

Although the Portsmouth boss refuted this before the game, saying that his side are capable of picking up points at Old Trafford. However, he clearly overestimated the quality of his team.

In fact, just 10 minutes into the game, the Portsmouth manager couldn't sit still. It was as if his butt was on fire, and he kept walking anxiously on the sidelines, shouting at the players on the field from time to time, and there was no chance to sit down in the coach's box and rest for a while.

However, there is no way to do it, who made the Manchester United players completely into form at the beginning of this game. Amid the loud singing and cheering of the Manchester United fans, they soon pressed Portsmouth to the ground in one fell swoop, rubbing non-stop, and the wind was in front of Portsmouth's goal.

Although Ryan Giggs was still out injured, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to replace his role in the Manchester United team, with the Portuguese youngster constantly putting Portsmouth's defence under pressure with flashy dribbling, break-ups and passes up front. Although Ronaldo still has such and such problems at this time that have been criticized by the outside world, and even some Manchester United teams have been questioning whether they can afford the shirt of Manchester United's legendary No. 7, but at least at this moment he is the focus and darling of the entire Old Trafford stadium.

At this moment, the vast majority of Manchester United's cheers and applause belong to Ronaldo alone.

Under such circumstances, Li Lei, who was a little bored in the backfield and was known as another new star worth looking forward to by Manchester United, naturally became a marginal supporting role that no one paid attention to at this moment.

In this regard, it is naturally impossible to say that he is not a little unhappy in his heart.

"Tut-tut..."

Hmph, a little white face who can only play tricks! When he saw Ronaldo on the right side of the front field once again with a fancy bicycle feint that caused the whole audience at Old Trafford to exclaim, Li Lei pouted his teeth, and after the corners of his mouth were unpleasant, he looked away and was a little jealous.

Perhaps even Li Lei himself didn't realise that he was already a little addicted to the tsunami of cheers from the Old Trafford United fans. He is developing feelings for this football mecca in the minds of countless people, and for this passionate Manchester United fans.

This is a new thing for Li Lei, who has lived for a long time and only has Li Xin'er as a key point in his life, and he still needs time to slowly understand it, until one day he understands and understands this by himself.

But, fortunately, at this moment, he is not completely marginal. In this game, there are always times when he shines, and the loud applause and cheers of the United fans always belong to him at certain times.

Although due to Ronaldo's activity in the frontcourt, Manchester United's attack played vigorously and vigorously, but I don't know if it was the feeling of being immersed in the cheers of Manchester United fans that made Ronaldo dizzy, he was too lonely with the ball, always thinking about breaking through with the ball, negligently cooperating with his teammates, and unable to pass the ball in time to form a threat The old problem of Ferguson has been repeated.

In fact, in a counterattack by Manchester United in the fourth minute of the first half, it was because he dribbled the ball too much and passed the ball too late, so that Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was so anxious to reach for the ball, could not get the football in time, and missed a great opportunity for Ruud van Nistelrooy to form a single knife after getting the ball directly.

In the end, the counterattack after the break of the ball that should have been a great threat ended with Cristiano Ronaldo's shot barely deflecting off the post.

Although Manchester United fans still expressed their encouragement to Ronaldo with applause, Van Nicol was not so happy, and now he shouted at Ronaldo and waved his hand to express his dissatisfaction.

But it was clearly not enough to calm down the overexcited Cristiano Ronaldo, who made such a mistake again in the ninth minute of the first half. It was another attacking opportunity after winning the ball in midfield, and after getting a pass from Keane, who had successfully cut off the ball from the feet of the Portsmouth midfielder, the already smashing Ronaldo immediately rushed to the Portsmouth penalty area.

By the time he was bound to get into the Portsmouth penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy had already used a clever detour in the box to temporarily shake off the Portsmouth centre-backs who were clinging to him. At this point, as long as Ronaldo immediately crosses to find him, with Ruud van Nistelrooy's ability to handle the ball and score in the penalty area, it can be said that the Dutch striker can immediately create a very dangerous goalmouth kill.

But Cristiano Ronaldo brought in more, and this time his fancy move did not flick off Portsmouth's left wing-back Taylor, but was cut off by him with a kick, and once again missed a good chance to attack.

Not to mention how Ruud van Nistelrooy jumped to his feet in the box at this time to express his dissatisfaction, Portsmouth's quick counter-attack began with this break. A typical English counter-attacking attack, with big feet looking for a tall striker in front, followed up quickly by two attacking players on the wings, and finally a cross from the wing, and two strikers in the box fighting for the final blow of the attack.

In modern football, this is a rudimentary tactic, but it's not necessarily ineffective. Simplicity means simplicity, and simplicity means fewer mistakes. For a team like Portsmouth, there is nothing more suitable for them than this tactic, and it is more convenient for them.

This time, the back line, led by Ferdinand, did not resist Portsmouth's simple and rough style of play. When Portsmouth's right midfielder Stone quickly dribbled the ball down the right side, Li Lei, who was standing in front of the goal, had already played with the spirit of 120,000 points, and while paying attention to Stone, he also firmly engraved the positions of the two forwards of Portsmouth who had been inserted into the penalty area at this time.

It's the back point!

When Stone's cross came up, Li Lei's mind subconsciously made a judgment. He immediately left the far post and immediately headed back, where one of Portsmouth's strikers, Yakubu, had suddenly stepped forward to shake off Silvestre.

In the face of falling football, Yakubu's handling of the ball is also typical of Premier League strikers. Although it is not delicate, it is simple and rough, and it often wins by force.

"Hmm!"

"Bang!"

To the neat exclamations of the United fans, he didn't make any adjustments at all, just a powerful volley. When the shooting angle was very small and Li Lei had blocked most of the near post shooting routes at this time, Yakubu still brazenly chose to shoot in the direction of the near post and hit Li Lei's head.

At this time, Li Lei was in a half-squatting position, and the space above was officially the largest.

At the same time as Yakubu completed the shooting action, with his super dynamic vision, he felt as if he was instantly stimulated by a strong electricity, and subconsciously made the right save.

"Palm back, this kind of close-range strong shot, as long as the advance judgment is timely and accurate, it is not difficult to block, the key is to master the hand type, not to block the football back to the front of the penalty area, to give the opponent a chance to make up the shot."

In the midst of this lightning and flint, Richard's words instinctively popped up in his mind, and his body acted accordingly. The two long arms were immediately raised upwards, palms close together to prevent the ball from hitting the goal through the gap between the hands.

At the same time, it also flips back slightly, making a movement similar to a backward support, which allows the ball to fly directly off the crossbar after being blocked, without bouncing back in front of the goal.

Thanks to a lot of training before, his muscles have basically formed a certain muscle memory at this time, and he can make standard saves without thinking about it temporarily, and he will not miss the opportunity to save.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, as soon as he was ready to make a save, there was another dull loud sound, and a huge impact of power came from the palm of his hand. The power of Yakubu's shot was really not small, even if he was wearing the best and most professional saving gloves, Li Lei immediately felt the slightly hot pain coming from the palm of his hand.

But instead of making him feel the slightest discomfort, the pain felt like drinking a glass of mellow liquor, which made his chest suddenly feel a sense of pride and spirit!

Since the Carabao Cup match against Leeds United, he has been holding back his energy and can finally go wild at this moment, amid the tsunami of cheers and applause from Manchester United.

He didn't care how ugly Yakubu's swarthy face was in front of him, and immediately after making the save, he straightened up and straightened up, then turned to face the United fans behind the goal.

Looking at the surging red wave, listening to the deafening cheers and applause, he suddenly began to wave and vibrate his arms upwards in excitement and madness.

Because of the excessive force, not only the green tendons on his neck were exposed, but even his already long flowery green hair swayed wildly.

In short, his appearance at this time looks like a madman to outsiders.

However, he was not a madman that no one understood, and the United fans immediately responded with louder cheers and applause, and they understood exactly what he meant.

And that's -- one more time!

A little more!!

A little louder!!

That's not enough!!

Inadequate!!!!!
