Chapter 143: Dilemma (2) A bold attempt
"It's hard to believe that Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are so embarrassed at Old Trafford! It's embarrassing!! If it weren't for luck and Lee's amazing performance, perhaps Arsenal would have locked the game long ago. Although Leo returned to the starting XI in this game, it seems that United's backline problems have not improved much.www.biquge.info Ferguson has to find a way, otherwise his team may not survive the end of the first half and will have to surrender. ......”
If Ferguson, who is standing on the sidelines with a blue face at the moment, hears the words of this commentator, the old coach is afraid that he will immediately scold him, whether he understands football or not, is this something that can be solved by finding a way, and this kind of gap in strength can be smoothed out by tactical strategy? !
Coldly paying attention to the situation on the field, the old handsome man's heart was already full of anger. He was annoyed that it was not Arsenal who controlled the situation on the pitch and gained the upper hand, which he had guessed before the game. Admitting that his team is not as strong as his current old rivals Arsenal is not a pleasant thing for him, but he is not the kind of person who can't accept the facts.
He was annoyed that his disciples were beaten so ugly by Arsenal on the pitch, they were simply trampled on the ground by the arsenal and rubbed hard, and they were defenseless. It can be said that so far in this game, except for Li Lei's performance that satisfies him, everyone else is not qualified at all in his heart, shame! If this wasn't a game, the old coach was so angry that he wanted to rush directly into the field, grabbed their collars, and sprayed angrily in front of them one by one.
This is Old Trafford! But the Theater of Dreams!! How can these bastards kick so badly?! How dare they?!!
Seeing that Arsenal once again used the high-pressure pressing in the front court, causing the Manchester United backfield players to lose the football at their feet again in a panic, the old coach finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore. Although Gary Neville quickly broke the ball off the touchline with a desperate sliding tackle from the feet of Pire, who had just touched the ball, he himself flew off the touchline and crashed into the billboard, causing the United fans to applaud his valor, and Ferguson couldn't hold back any longer.
"You shit! Bastard!! Soft Egg !! What are you doing?! What are you doing?!! This is Old Trafford! You eggless bastards!! Do you still want to play?! Do you want to kick ?!! If you don't want to kick, fucking fuck me off! I don't care about you!! ......" On the sidelines, his world-famous hair dryer was running at full power all at once.
The rude inflections were clearly recorded in the microphones on the sidelines, which may not have been heard very clearly by the fans who kicked off the game, but the fans and commentators who watched the televised broadcast could hear it clearly.
Regardless of the performance of the fans in front of the TV, the commentators who commented on the focus of the game were indeed suppressed by Ferguson's crazy scolding. In a short period of time, they were so shocked that they couldn't say a word, and they were speechless to each other.
From the perspective of those who don't know much about football, it may be difficult for them to believe that the legendary manager of one of the world's top clubs would openly explode such vulgar language, which is somewhat inconsistent with the image of celebrities in their minds.
But this is Alex Ferguson, who seems to him to be just an ordinary old man who loves football, and some bullshit celebrity gentleman has nothing to do with him. In normal times, he may still be an ordinary, kind and kind old man, but when it comes to Manchester United and football, then he is the iron-masked king who runs Manchester United's red empire, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a dictatorial tyrant.
Ferguson's crazy roar on the sidelines at this moment, some people may not be able to accept it, but for the Manchester United players on the field, it is like a shot in the arm, which is the best spur for them who have always been in awe of Ferguson.
The effect was immediate, as if they had found their backbone all at once, they got out of the panic that had just been crushed by Arsenal, regained their composure, and rushed to every Arsenal player with the ball at their feet with high morale as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
This is not an immediate way to turn the tide of the situation, but at least it can ease the embarrassment of just crumbling as if they are about to lose the ball at any moment.
In this regard, Li Lei, who was standing on the door line, was afraid that he was the one who felt the deepest. If he felt that he was independent and helpless just now, now he at least felt that he had found some strength to rely on.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Vieira, who had an explosive desire to attack today, won the ball again in midfield and suddenly dribbled the ball into the attack. Keane originally wanted to use a foul defensive move to keep the French midfielder, but he didn't expect Vieira to force through his resistance with his physical fitness and confrontation ability that outperformed Keane. After being slightly stumbled by Keane, he immediately forced his center of gravity to regain his center of gravity, and once again began to stride towards the Manchester United penalty area with the ball.
Li Lei immediately raised the spirit of 120,000 points and did not dare to slack off, his eyes were left and right to observe the offensive players who immediately interspersed and ran up in the front court, thinking about all their possible offensive routines. While Arsenal have yet to form a real threat to him, he needs to be fully prepared.
Maybe the previous game was too smooth, which made Henry and others too confident. In this attack, because Gary Neville and O'Shea both retreated a little from the middle, and tried their best to block the middle, it should be the most reasonable way to handle the ball by dividing the football to both sides. But instead of doing so, they concentrated in the middle of the penalty area, trying to use their own and others' small-scale subtle combination to make a way out of United's large central defence.
It's not a sensible way to deal with it, but it's unreasonable to be in good shape today. Throughout the process, including Scholes and others, who came back from the retreat, they kept a firm eye on their defenders and did not miss any shots.
But it was in this tight defence that Bergkamp used his graceful and imaginative back-heel pass to break down United's seemingly airtight defence.
When Vieira handed the ball to Henry, who stopped to Bergkamp on the sidelines, the Ice Prince didn't make any unnecessary moves. Withstanding Silvestre's push behind him, he slammed his heel directly into the situation, allowing the ball to roll through the narrow gap between Silvestre's feet, and cleverly and accurately came to Vieira's forward route.
If it had been before, Vieira might have had to receive a pass from Bergkamp and form a one-on-one situation with Li Lei again. But after Ferguson's roar, Rio Ferdinand, the backbone of Manchester United's defense, finally got into a bit of a groove, and no longer had the sluggishness that inevitably caused by a long period of absence from play.
This time, Ferdinand, who was a defensive choice and had a good sense of anticipation, did not let Vieira run away in front of him again, but clung to the French midfielder, blocking his direct impact on Li Lei.
Seeing this, Li Lei's eyes lit up suddenly. This time, apart from passively making saves, he was finally able to do something else on his own initiative. This was definitely an adventure, and in the eyes of most people, it was even a deviant "extreme" move, but Li Lei attacked very decisively.
Under the tremendous pressure that success is a hero, but failure is a sinner, he did not hesitate.
Li Lei's actions in front of the goal this time are conspicuous, unless he is blind, he can see it, and he is naturally not blind if he can be a football commentator.
"Bergkamp! A beautiful pass, but Leo saw through his intentions and didn't give Vieira a chance to face Lee directly, and he blocked the way with a firm block. Patrick Vieira had to stop, turned to protect the ball, and didn't pass it right away, and it seemed that he wanted to break through with the ball himself...... Well?! Who's this?! Who's this?!! Oh my God, how did Lee get here?! Shouldn't he be on the goalline ready to make a save?!! Why is he here?!!! Does he consider himself a centre-back?!!!! ”
"It's broken! Vieira didn't expect Lee to fight behind Leo, he didn't have any defenses at all!! It's a sneak attack! A daring sneak attack!! Lee is simply insane!! I've never seen a goalkeeper make such an unbelievable attack in such a situation. But he won the bet, didn't he?! Vieira was unprepared and looked like he just stretched out his foot with ease and cut off the ball at Vieira's feet. ”
"Lee is simply a daring gambler!"
"I don't know if it's good or not to have such a gambler-like adventure in a goalkeeper, but it's definitely good news for the fans, isn't it?!"
"Let's look forward to whether this big flower worm will dare to reproduce this gambler-like scene in the next game!"
"He's bold!"
"He's crazy!!"
"But he's also, definitely funny!!"
"He's !!! legend"
