Since the outbreak of Li Lei's beating of Carol, Manchester United, which has been the focus of attention in the off-season because of Beckham's departure, has now received more attention and interference from reporters and media. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention Ferguson and Manchester United players, even the general members of the coaching staff, and even the ordinary staff in the Carrington base have been affected to varying degrees.

I don't know if it was affected by this, anyway, since Manchester United won 3:2 thrilling 3:2 at home with Li Lei's header in the opening game, the performance and performance in the next few rounds of the league have not been satisfactory, and have been almost unanimously criticized by the outside world.

After a home win over Bolton, United travelled to St James' Park to take on Premier League giants Newcastle United in the second round of the league. There, they were stubbornly resisted by Alain Shearer. The Reds struggled to find it until two goals in the 64th and 68th minutes of the second half and stubbornly held on to Newcastle's fierce counter-attack.

Despite a two-game winning streak at the start of the season, Ferguson was met with almost unanimous media harassment at his post-match press conference. Manchester United's obvious attacking weakness in the game made the media and reporters start questioning and denouncing it again about the "flying shoes" incident.

Of course, Li Lei's matter will inevitably be mentioned several times. Some reporters even questioned Ferguson about these two incidents, questioning whether he was no longer able to control Manchester United, whether he was unable to lead Manchester United to continue its glory, and why he made such "clear" wrong decisions in a row....

All in all, this post-match press conference really made Ferguson angry enough. Under the condition that Li Lei was completely protected by him and isolated from the outside world, the Scottish coach was attacked by almost all the media with unanimous fire.

However, at this time, Ferguson never imagined that this was only the beginning of his next "hard" years.

In the third round of the league, Manchester United who host Wolves still did not change the shortcomings of the attacking weakness shown in the previous league game. Although at the beginning of the game, they began to bombard the Wolves defense at Old Trafford, but it was not until the 85th minute of the second half that Ruud van Nistelrooy broke the deadlock by rushing in front of goal, and finally won a narrow home victory over the Premier League team Wolves with this goal.

Manchester United have been winning, but the process has been stumbling and not satisfying in any way. Even Manchester United have a lot of complaints about this. If it weren't for the fact that the team was still winning, they would have expressed their dissatisfaction.

At the same time, the performance of the whole Manchester United team has also given the media and journalists a chance to continue to hype them. Outside, the tide of skepticism about Alex Ferguson and Manchester United has risen and gone.

After Manchester United's 1-0 defeat at Southampton in the fourth round, that skepticism finally reached its highest point. Even Arsenal, which has been winning streaks like Manchester United, was unexpectedly drawn 1:1 by Portsmouth at home earlier in this round, and it is difficult to stop the media and reporters from hyping up "Ferguson is aging", "Manchester United is regressing" and other views.

An ordinary league defeat was literally stirred up by them for the Champions League final, and it was like a grand celebration of English football journalism. It is no exaggeration to say that during this period of time, Ferguson and his Manchester United have simply fed football reporters all over England, and can be called a gold medal parent.

It's just that the media and reporters are too unfilial to eat and take their children. If nothing else, in the case of Alex Ferguson alone, the veteran Scottish boss was angry enough for their reports during this time. For this reason, Lao Shuaina's heart also relied on a pacemaker to endure a huge test, which made Cathy worry all the time.

For this reason, in addition to Li Xin'er, who has always been a good girl, even Li Lei, who caused something almost every few days before, is a rare good baby. In addition to eating and sleeping all day long, talking to Li Xin'er, it is training and watching videos. (Because Li Lei's news has not gone down during this time, the young players of the reserve team have also been disturbed by the media and reporters, so even if he is in the reserve team, Li Lei has no games to play during this time.) ）

Even if he is pestered by the paparazzi and reporters who still keep staring at him, it is rare that he obediently does not reply like he said before that they are fools, in order to cause as little trouble as possible for Ferguson, who is a little emaciated during this time.

During this time, though, there was one thing that came as a surprise to him. As Manchester United's situation worsened, the focus of attention finally began to shift from him. Although there are still paparazzi following him, it is much better than the situation when reporters flocked to him some time ago.

In addition, Li Lei has basically not gone out alone during this time, so the impact of this little paparazzi on his life is almost negligible. Li Xin'er also resumed her normal school life, although Li Lei was a little worried about whether she would be bullied in school because of herself, but at least for now, everything is fine.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Lei continues to devote himself to daily training with confidence.

Since his succession of performances in the Community Shield and at home to Bolton Wanderers, the proportion of tennis training in his daily training has been gradually decreasing.

On the contrary, the proportion of training content related to regular games has begun to increase, including a series of complicated training contents, such as commanding the defensive line, cooperating with defenders, kick-offs, defensive line layout in free kicks, basic chamfered passing, etc.

This is Ferguson's arrangement. With Carroll already moving to West Ham on the final day of the transfer window, Lee Lei, the third first-team goalkeeper, will inevitably get more playing opportunities. This requires him to have the ability to play regularly for 90 minutes, and it is no longer enough to save a penalty.

However, when learning these things, Li Lei encountered a little trouble, and he learned a little "slowly".

Well, to be precise, it's not a problem, it's just his own feelings. The personnel in charge of training him, including Jimmy and Richard, had replied to Li Lei's confusion more than once, "Oh, Lee! Kid, you're learning fast enough. Trust me, you don't have to be slow to learn any other goalkeeper. It's just that the learning of this thing requires the accumulation of time and experience, and your superhuman talent will not provide you with much help at this point, all you can do is patience and perseverance. ”

And the truth is just as they said, after all, in the study of these things, Li Lei's super dynamic vision and extremely strong physical talent can't help him much. Under such circumstances, it is very normal for Li Lei to learn and improve not as fast as he is in saves.

It's just that he is bent on growing up as soon as possible, not only to make a lot of money, but also to repay Ferguson's kindness, he himself can't accept it. But there is no way, this is the law of nature, no one can become mature all at once, not even the most gifted genius.

In this regard, although Li Lei himself was not very happy, Jimmy and Richard were secretly happy in their hearts. After seeing Li Lei's astonishing progress in saves, they finally experienced the thrill of being a teacher.

Students who are too good will frustrate the teacher, and sometimes it is the students who can occasionally make them yell a few words that they like the most.

For example, Li Lei at this time, compared to his talent in saves, people have nothing to say, his training and performance in other aspects are enough to make Jimmy and Richard yell enough.

"Oh! Damn it!! Is the mouth on your face fake?! If not, why don't you speak, why not advance your teammates. Communication! Do you understand the communication?!! Don't you see the need to maintain communication between goalkeepers and defenders after watching the video I let you see?! Damn it!! Start over!! ”

This is what Jimmy yelled at after Li Lei collided with a training staff member who was playing a centre-back team-mate with his back to him while handling the ball in front of the training goal.

"Why are you attacking?! Do you really think you're some kind of Superman in red panties?!! How many times have I said that a strike depends on timing, timing! Do you want your handle to be smashed by your opponent in the game?!! How many times have I told you, ah?!! ”

This is what Li Lei roared after he listened too much to his instincts and believed in his physical talent when he was training to attack, causing the empty gate behind him to be easily broken by the trainer who played the offensive player.

......

In short, no matter in terms of experience, Li Lei, who is still like a blank sheet of paper, has been yelled at by Richard and Jimmy in training.

It's just that Jimmy and Richard, who are immersed in the joy of being a teacher, don't realize that there are messages about two terrible youth coaches who dare to yell at Li Lei, a bastard named Hua Da Worm, who dare to yell at him all the time, have slowly begun to circulate quietly in Carrington's youth training base.

Some of the academy players who are already old and have been in contact with them a lot on a regular basis may be fine, and will only see these comments as daily jokes.

But in the eyes of some children who are only about 10 years old, or even less than 10 years old, these comments may not be a joke.

I'm afraid that even they themselves have not noticed that in these days, there are almost no youth players who dare to pass by with them. The sneaky and timid gaze of these children was like looking at two big demons, big bad guys.

Since then, the legend of the two academy devil coaches in Carrington's youth base has also begun to spread.

Of course, that's a story for later, so let's not mention it for now.

At the end of another day's training, after taking a shower, the exhausted Li Lei did not go home immediately, but was informed by Richard that Ferguson was waiting for him in the office.

Today is the day when Manchester United travel to the Valley Stadium to take on Charlton Athletic for the fifth round of the Premier League, and it should be time for the game to be over and Ferguson and the rest of the United squad have returned to Carrington.

"Sir, what's the result of today's game?"

"Not bad, 2:0, we won."

"But your face doesn't look very good?"

"yes, what the hell! Tim (Howard) has another shoulder injury and an old injury has returned. ”

"And what do you mean by looking for me?" Li Lei's voice was a little excited.

"That's right, kid, are you ready to meet your old adversary?"

"Of course, I'm ready." Faced with Ferguson's question, Li Lei raised his head and gave a firm and confident answer.

At this time, he thought of Manchester United's schedule, the sixth round of the Premier League, (home) Arsenal vs (away) Manchester United. He has been holding back for more than a month and has not looked for someone to fight, and the blood and fighting spirit in his body suddenly ignited.

The gaze was crazy and hot, like a beast that was already hungry and crazy finally saw its prey.

In a trance, he seemed to feel that his nose had smelled a faint smell of blood.

Fishy.

But, it's delicious!

It's finally time to hunt!!
