Chapter 113: Evil Spirit!
"Steve—"
"Gerrard !!"
"Steve—"
"Gerrard !!"
......
Because of Gerrard's possession, the entire Anfield stadium was filled with the passion of Liverpool fans in an instant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Led by a live DJ, they chanted the names of their young captains as a tsunami of sound crashed down on the Anfield Stadium.
For a moment, the whole stadium was trembling slightly.
Behind the backdrop of Liverpudlian's passionate celebrations, of course, is the lost figure of the Manchester United players. The one-goal deficit was not too much for them to despair, but it was definitely a huge blow to morale, after all, they had been firmly in control of the situation on the field.
In the face of this conceded goal, Ferguson on the sidelines seemed surprisingly quiet at the moment. There was no anger or annoyance on his face, but he cast a faintly concerned gaze on the figure of No. 13 in front of his door, who was still pounding the ground desperately.
Compared with victory and defeat, he was more worried about Li Lei's current psychological state at this time.
If it were any other young goalkeeper, Ferguson might not be worried. After all, to be able to survive so many difficulties in front of him, including Arsenal, until now Gerrard broke the door with a world wave and conceded his first maiden goal, such a result is enough for any rookie young goalkeeper to be proud of.
Although the frustration of conceding a goal is indispensable, it is only temporary, and it should be able to adjust quickly.
But this situation is different for Li Lei, who knows too well about Li Lei's almost paranoid competitive spirit, which is a double-edged sword that can hurt both himself and others.
If it is used well, it will bring great forward momentum and fighting spirit to the players, but if it is not used well, it will be easy for people to go to extremes.
Now that the game is not over yet, and the team is in a bad situation again, Ferguson is afraid that Li Lei will not be able to adjust his mentality immediately, so he will play abnormally in the next crucial game time and let the situation get out of control.
No matter how much he understands Li Lei's extremely strong psychological quality and adjustment ability, he will inevitably have this worry.
Seeing that on the pitch Sylvestre began to follow his pre-game quietly instructions - once the team gate is lost, to pay close attention to Li Lei's mental state, Ferguson's eyes were full of concern.
"Lee, are you alright? It's okay, it's just a goal conceded, it's not over yet, we're ......"
Leo had kept his head down since he got up from the ground, and Sylvester patted him on the shoulder and began to try to start persuasion as Ferguson had instructed. Li Lei's desperate action of slamming the ground just now was seen by him, no matter how he looked at it, this was Li Lei's chagrin that he couldn't accept losing the ball.
He believes that this is the normal performance of a young man who does not admit defeat.
But when Li Lei raised his head, he unconsciously shut up after he met Li Lei's eyes.
In Li Lei's eyes that were red with anger, like evil ghosts, full of anger and unwillingness, in it, Sylvester saw a terrifying flame of revenge, blazing, hot and crazy, and saw a cloud of cold ice, cold to the bone, which made people daunted.
What a paranoid look these are! Even if he was experienced in a hundred battles, he was also frightened at this moment. In Sylvester's career, he had not seen anyone who was not very competitive, but this was the first time he had seen such paranoid eyes that he almost wanted to fight desperately.
He didn't know that this was a habit that Li Lei had developed in the slums before, and if you wanted to live there, you had to win. Although Li Lei was already a professional football player at this time, he had escaped from such a sinister living environment, but the winning style and desire that had long been integrated into the bone marrow have been retained.
"Mika [Silvestre], next step, I'm never going to concede again! Unless I die!! Li Lei gritted his teeth and said word by word. It's like reassuring Sylvester, and it's like talking to yourself.
If it were to be said by any other goalkeeper who had just conceded the goal, Sylvester would only think that it was just the opponent's ordinary unwillingness, and would not take it too seriously.
But at this moment, from Li Lei, who is in this state now, he can't help but believe that Li Lei can really do it, and he really wants to work hard.
At this moment, Li Lei completely changed the impression of Sylvester in his heart. Much later, when retired old Sylvester was interviewed by reporters, he still remembered Li Lei's "terrible as a demon" at the moment, and sighed.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Judging from Li Lei's eyes, although he was unwilling and remorseful, he did not lose his coolness, at least on the surface.
After taking another deep look at Li Lei, who was quietly wiping his gloves, Sylvester waved his hand in the direction of Ferguson on the sidelines while feeling horrified by the strange silence.
This is a better signal for them before the game, and as long as the examination finds that Li Lei's mental state is not out of order, he will do so.
It's just that he did it, but he can't be completely at ease with Li Lei in his heart. Just like the calm before the storm, the peace before the eruption of the volcano, he always felt that the moment was eerily quiet and sooner or later the Anfield stadium would blow up, and the games ahead would never be peaceful.
Now, he only hopes that Li Lei won't make too much trouble.
At the same time, after seeing Silvestre's hand-waving movement, Ferguson on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief and began to take advantage of the last period of time before the game restarted.
With just over 20 minutes remaining, a goal down at Anfield is a huge disadvantage for any team. Against a morale-boosting Liverpool, even Manchester United under Alex Ferguson was no exception.
But the Scottish boss and his Red Devils have already experienced too many difficulties and desperate situations, and for them, such an extremely unfavorable scene has long been commonplace, and there is no feeling of helplessness.
Liverpool players were still basking in the joy of leading their rivals at home rather than the Manchester United players who had already begun to lick their wounds and were ready to make a comeback when the game restarted, enjoying the deafening cheers of the Liverpool fans.
If it weren't for Keane's complaint and referee Webber coming to dissuade them, they would probably have been able to celebrate until the game was officially over.
However, that's it, when they returned to their respective positions, they kept Liverpool fans in the stands either clenching their fists or waving their arms, still looking very excited.
Among them, Owen, who was very humiliated by Li Lei in the first half, was on the way back to Liverpool's half, and proudly clenched his fists and roared wildly in the direction where Li Lei was standing.
Although his performance of the fox and fake tiger was despised by Li Lei, it was indeed pierced into Li Lei's heart. Looking at the background of the English golden boy proudly leaving, Li Lei's eyes were full of cold and piercing cold.
In fact, it is not only Owen who does this, but even Liverpool fans are no exception. They finally let out a bad breath because of Gerrard's goal, how could they let go of this good opportunity to fight back and ridicule Li Lei.
This was especially evident in the stands of Liverpool fans behind the gate, and until Webber blew the whistle for the restart, he could still hear insulting and irritating invectives and singing.
"Boy, did you see that? That's what Liverpool stars are! ”
"You didn't concede a goal before because you didn't touch us! You're nothing bastard Asian! Yellow-skinned monkey!! ”
"Manchester United have a big mouth goalkeeper, oh tired, oh tired, oh tired, he doesn't do anything, oh tired, like a useless piece of waste, he can only watch us score..."
......
These voices were like countless thin needles like cow's hair, one by one, piercing Li Lei's heart, piercing the flesh for three points, and the blood was dripping.
But on the surface, Li Lei kept laughing, sneering, and laughing chillingly!
After the game restarted, taking advantage of the momentum of Gerrard's goal, Liverpool coach Houllier kept making a big forward movement with both hands on the pitch, signaling the Liverpool players to take this opportunity to increase their attack and seize this good opportunity to expand the score.
"Attack! Go on the offensive!! Keep attacking that goalkeeper and we're going to extend the score!! Houllier was in high spirits, and for a while the limelight simply overshadowed Ferguson on the sidelines, and became the focus of the live broadcast camera.
He believes that at such a point in time, losing a goal in such a high-profile game will make waves in the hearts of even a veteran of a hundred battles, not to mention Li Lei, a rookie who has not played a few games. It would be a shame not to seize this opportunity to expand the score and lock the score.
Liverpool players also agree with their own manager's idea. That's what they did when the game restarted.
It's just that they still don't know Li Lei, he is not the ordinary young goalkeeper they understand.
In the 71st minute of the second half, when the magnificent Liverpool pressed on Manchester United on all fronts, Liverpool once again got the opportunity to shoot with his feet in the penalty area.
Gerrard was in great shape after the goal, winning Keane in a scramble for a high ball near midfield, and then immediately burst forward with the ball at high speed, and on the way he shook off Philneville's block alive and sent a delicate through ball to Owen in the box in time.
Only this time, instead of being thrown off by Owen's clever running and super-fast start, Sylvester stuck to the side of England's golden boy. While constantly interfering with Owen with his body and not letting him start, he also calmly did not break the ball with his feet, but kept forcing Owen outside, which greatly narrowed the angle of Owen's shot.
In the end, Owen, who got rid of it without success, could only barely come to the goal with a kick.
However, at this time, Li Lei had already sealed the near corner, and after blocking the turf in front of him with Owen's powerful volley, he immediately grabbed the football that bounced up after landing on the ground, perfectly defusing Owen's attack.
"Hmm~"
This disappointed the Liverpool fans who were full of expectations that Liverpool could hurry up to expand the score and keep the victory, and they all hugged their heads and sighed regretfully.
How can this work! That kid must be pretending, how could he still be so calm. Immediately after the regret, the thought flashed through their minds.
In order to be able to influence Li Lei and lure out the excitement hidden in his heart, the song they had just humiliated Li Lei immediately sounded loudly again.
"Manchester United have a big mouth goalkeeper, oh tired, oh tired, oh tired, he doesn't do anything, oh tired, like a useless piece of waste, he can only watch us score..."
At this time, Li Lei was coldly looking at Owen, who was holding his head and regretting it, and the singing of Liverpool fans that resounded throughout Anfield Stadium really made him stunned.
But soon, he came back to his senses.
The corners of his mouth curled, and he laughed again.
The smile is so "happy", so cold!
It's chilling!!
Laughing like a demon!!
