This Asian kid! Vieira never wanted to admit that he was frightened by Li Lei's appearance at this moment, but his heart gave him the most authentic answer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Facing the devilish Li Lei at this moment, he couldn't help but put away the smug sneer just now. Although his eyes were still pretending to be tough and staring at Li Lei, who was a little terrifying at the moment, the kind of timidity in his eyes that he couldn't help but want to escape couldn't escape Li Lei's eyes at all.

In the end, under the gaze of Li Lei's increasingly playful and cold gaze, Vieira snorted coldly, then turned his head and left a little unwillingly. But what he didn't expect was that when he turned around, what appeared on Li Lei's face was not the slightest smugness, but a kind of regret and chagrin self-dissatisfaction.

Too relaxed, too careless. Li Lei deeply reflected on himself in his heart.

Just now, after Thierry Henry and Bergcampra pulled out of the box to draw the attention of Ferdinand and Silvestre, Pire, who was holding the ball, immediately noticed Vieira who was cutting forward at high speed, and he immediately rubbed a cross that went directly past Ferdinand's head.

At this time, Vieira's extremely strong physical fitness was fully reflected. I saw him take a few big arrows, like a black shadow of extreme speed, swept past the two central defenders Ferdinand and Silvestre, and rushed towards the football that had fallen in the air.

It was under such circumstances that Li Lei made a decisive attack and rushed to the football in the air. Admittedly, he ended up taking the lead with the ball in the air, but he was also hit by Vieira's relentless impact in the air and a dark elbow to his face.

It seems that Vieira is too ruthless and disregards his work ethic, but Li Lei knows very well that it was his own negligence that gave Vieira such an opportunity to take advantage.

First of all, he made the same mistake again. Once you focus on the game, you don't talk much and you unconsciously neglect to communicate with your teammates. Just now, he had actually anticipated the gap between Ferdinand and Silvestre, and also saw Vieira in advance, but he did not make a sound to warn Ferdinand, who was attracted by Henry and Bergkamp.

If he could have been reminded in time, with Ferdinand's ability, he could definitely fill the gap immediately and not let Vieira rush into the box so easily and face him directly.

This was the first mistake he made.

The role of a top goalkeeper who is truly integrated into the team is not only in terms of how many good saves he can make, but also how well he can fit with the team's backline.

The higher the degree of tacit understanding, the better a team's overall defense will naturally be, and the more goalmouth crises that are still in the cradle can be resolved. And because goalkeepers are born with a wider vision than defenders, goalkeepers are actually tactically dominant in this.

This is especially evident in modern football, where the defensive system is getting better and more rigorous. It can be said that a top goalkeeper who can be integrated into the team's defensive system is the starting goalkeeper that every top team dreams of.

In world football, there are many people who have good saving ability, but have been unable to play the main force in the giants. However, Li Lei does not want to be one of them, and if he wants to firmly occupy the starting goalkeeper position under Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, he will have to show enough in this area.

But as far as his performance is concerned, it is not qualified.

The second mistake was that he should have avoided the injury. As we all know, how to deal with high balls in the Premier League is a compulsory course for every Premier League goalkeeper.

Because the Premier League's style of play pays more attention to high-altitude bombing and also advocates fierce physical confrontation between players, this gives the Premier League's goalkeepers a very high demand for high-altitude ball handling. That is, in addition to the necessary judgment of the landing point and the appropriate choice of the timing of the attack, it is also necessary to have sufficient physical confrontation ability and skill.

Otherwise, even if you do well in other areas, you will be overwhelmed by the non-stop onslaught of the opposing players after the game. In the Premier League, it is not uncommon in the Premier League to catch the ball and get out of the hand because the goalkeeper's body is impacted, or the batting action is deformed and the ball is not far away, which indirectly leads to the team conceding the goal.

In addition, even if the referee blows for a foul on each impact, the goalkeeper himself may not have known that he was accidentally injured in that impact. An injury to the main goalkeeper is a huge blow to any team in the world. Because everyone knows that the most unavoidable position on the pitch is the goalkeeper.

Because unlike other positions where qualified replacements can often be found, there is no good goalkeeper who wants to play as a substitute goalkeeper in a team with very few appearances. Generally speaking, the substitute goalkeeper of each team will basically be one notch lower than the quality of the starting goalkeeper.

And going one notch lower in the goalkeeper position often means losing. No matter how strong a team is in other positions, a weak goalkeeper can easily destroy those advantages.

This is especially obvious considering that Manchester United basically only has one goalkeeper that can be used at this time, Li Lei.

Just now, although Li Lei did not have any serious injuries, he only had some hard injuries on his body and a small opening in his mouth, but what if there was an injury. Although Li Lei's physical fitness is strong, he is not an invulnerable superman, and he cannot completely guarantee that he will not be injured.

So, he has to be the best he can be in every physical confrontation with the opposing player, and he has to be well prepared every time.

And this time, he suffered a loss in the collision with Vieira, because he was not prepared. This is also his old problem, after focusing fully on football, he often unconsciously neglects to protect his own body.

If this were not the case, with Li Lei's super physical fitness and sophisticated physical confrontation skills, I am afraid that Vieira himself would not be able to say if he fell to the ground in pain.

These are the experiences of Li Lei's lack of experience, and they are also the worries of Ferguson.

Thankfully, that's all there is to it. After settling down, Li Lei did not feel sorry for these mistakes for a long time, nor did he have any avoidance because of this collision, but immediately began to reflect on it, absorb the lessons brought to him by these mistakes, and use this to promote his own further growth.

The reason why Ferguson dared to let Carroll go was to bet on how quickly Li Lei could grow. The coach is not worried at all about whether Li Lei will make mistakes in the game, he is worried that Li Lei's understanding is not enough to make his growth rate meet the expectations of him and Manchester United.

Fortunately, judging from Li Lei's performance at the moment, he did not disappoint Ferguson.

After getting the report from the team doctor that Li Lei did not have any injuries and abnormalities, the Scottish coach, who had been extremely angry and anxious since Li Lei fell to the ground, finally relieved his heart.

At the same time, the emotions of the players on both sides of the field were almost calmed down by the referee's stern verbal warning, and the game resumed.

Since he has not yet fully mastered the skill of opening the big foot, Li Lei generally chooses not to open the big foot as much as possible, but to ground the ball to Ferdinand.

But it was clear that his plan was completely bankrupt under the vicious on-the-spot pressing of the Arsenal players up front, which was clearly Arsene Wenger's plan before the game to take advantage of the home advantage to get off to a start.

Faced with such a situation, Li Lei had no choice but to bite the bullet in the boos of Arsenal fans, and the result was not very good.

Generally speaking, it is normal for a goalkeeper to be unable to find his teammates accurately, but at least he should drive near his teammates who have some strength in heading the ball.

It's just that Li Lei has obviously not reached this level yet, although his big foot is high and far, but it comes directly to the vicinity of Arsenal central defender Campbell, and there are no Manchester United players around him who can cause any trouble for his stoppage, and the ball slips back to Arsenal's feet.

Shh Seeing this scene, Li Lei felt a little unhappy. Luckily, he quickly adjusted, didn't put too much effort into something he couldn't really do for the time being, and got back into the game.

Arsenal's ferocious attack did catch the United players off guard, but the battle-hardened players quickly stabilized their position. Under the leadership of iron-blooded captain Keane, he quickly got up to the top and fought with Arsenal in midfield, thereby reducing the pressure on Henry and others on Manchester United's defence.

But it is still the same sentence, Manchester United, which is in the throes of transformation, is better than a fully mature Arsenal in terms of strength. This point cannot be erased by hard work.

Although Manchester United's attacking staff worked very hard, when Ronaldo was still obsessed with his fancy footwork and could not integrate into Manchester United's overall attacking system, Manchester United's weak attacking power in the front field was still not solved in this game.

Arsenal, on the other hand, began to gradually increase the attacking intensity of the front court when the back line was worry-free. Moreover, they are in significantly better shape at this time than they were at Community Shield. Soon, their smooth attack in the front court brought real pressure to Li Lei in front of the goal.

In the eighth minute of the first half, Arsenal had their first shot on target of the game. Manchester United are at the bottom of the pack overall, but the overall solid backfield system has created enough problems for Arsenal's attack. Under such circumstances, King Henry of Highbury finally showed his superior individual ability.

I saw that after he got Ljungberg's pass with his back at the front of the penalty area, he directly flicked his left foot with the outside instep, and then waved his right leg when he half-turned, making a posture of immediately pulling out his leg to shoot from a distance. But it wasn't until Ferdinand caught up with the block that he revealed his true intentions.

A standard Henryian hypothetical pass, with a swinging right leg that catches the attention of a defender, the left foot, which is the support foot, covertly completes the blow to the ball. The ball was passed to Bergkamp, who sped forward and shook off Rio Ferdinand, who was guarding him.

At the same time, Bergkamp also understood it, without any stopping of the ball, and directly kicked the pass around Silvestre in front of him, and came to Henry's forward route.

On the other side, although Henry's accelerated forward cut made Ferdinand, who was temporarily unresponsive, half a step behind, he still gritted his teeth to complete the turn, and two big strides caught up with Henry, who had already received the ball. Instead of trying to cut off the ball at Thierry's feet, he could only block Henry's shot and cut inside to make the attack less threatening.

But he was still a step slower after all, and in the face of Bergkamp's pass, the French striker pulled his foot and shot. The ball grazed the tip of Rio Ferdinand's shoe and flew towards Li Lei, who had already reached the near post to block Thierry Henry's shot.

Fortunately, in a hurry, Henry's shot was not of high quality. Although the strength was enough, the angle was too positive, and he was directly held in his arms by Li Lei.

Arsenal's threatening offensive this time ended in the regretful sighs of Arsenal fans.

But Li Lei, who was holding the football in his arms, felt a lot of pressure at this moment, a pressure completely different from when he took a penalty, a pressure that he had to concentrate at all times, not make mistakes, and lose the ball if he made a mistake.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with the soccer ball in his arms.

He knew that the difficulties and pressures were just beginning, but he didn't back down in the slightest.

His eyes were full of hot, determined gaze.

Boiling hot!

And confident!!
