Chapter 243
At this time, Li Lei's refreshing boldness repeatedly displayed on the field, without any mistakes, and obvious effects on the team, certainly shocked everyone, but also won the full house of all Manchester United fans on the scene.
But in the eyes of professional commentators such as Lineker, there are still very objections.
Yes, while it is true that these bold moves by Li Lei at the moment seem very new and exciting, and they have worked well, they are all based on the fact that he has not made any mistakes so far.
On the football field, no one can guarantee that they will never make mistakes, no one. This point is no exception even for Li Lei, because this is the truth that cannot be violated by human beings in the world.
And in football, what it means when the goalkeeper makes a mistake is clear to everyone.
Generally, when goalkeepers make mistakes, there may be a chance for teammates around him to make amends, but judging from what Li Lei has done so far, none of Lineker's commentators thinks that after he makes a mistake, there are any Manchester United players who can wipe his ass for him.
The reason is simple, just imagine the embarrassing situation when your team is cut off by the opponent and your goalkeeper is in the middle circle.
Moreover, if such a situation occurs in a normal league or an unimportant cup competition, it is just that, as long as the frequency is very low, it can be tolerated. But if it comes into a crucial match that can directly decide the league title, or a Champions League knockout round, or a variety of important competitions such as cup finals, I am afraid that it only happens once, and it is beyond the reach of any manager or team.
Because of this, with a bold and terrifying style of play like Li Lei's current one, will Ferguson really give him a chance to play in important games? And, as long as Manchester United are strong enough, such a risky goalkeeper style of play is simply not necessary.
But if it can't be used in important games, then Li Lei's style of play will become a boring show off specially used to attract the attention of fans. If that's the case, is there really a need for such a risky goalkeeper to play? Wouldn't it be like Ikita in the past, and it will become a poison that will kill his own team without knowing when?
At this time, Manchester United fans who were excited about Li Lei's bold and novel goalkeeper style of play may not have thought of this, and did not think about it so deeply, but Lineker, a senior commentator, thought of these key points at once, and all of them made a very negative judgment on Li Lei's bold and new goalkeeper style of play in their hearts.
Li Lei didn't know about these things. And, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. He has never been the kind of paranoid person who will change his mind and practice because of other people's opinions, or he is stubborn.
What's more, he doesn't have that much energy to think about these things at the moment, how to win this game and completely overwhelm Van der Sar is the top priority in his heart.
In addition, no matter what doubts Lineker and others have about Li Lei's goalkeeper play, no one can deny that in the second half, it was Li Lei's bold goalkeeper play that Manchester United's originally helpless and even somewhat weak offensive against the Fulham defense gradually sharpened and threatened.
In the 77th minute of the second half, it was Li Lei's precise through ball near the arc of the center circle that found Scholes in front of him, and then let Jiang turn his head and immediately sent a scalpel-like pass to Ronaldo to help the Portuguese genius complete a very threatening shot, Coleman in front of the Fulham coach's box finally couldn't sit still.
If before, when he first saw Li Lei start to boldly play as a doorman in the second half, he could still expect Li Lei to make a big joke in front of the coach's bench and directly give his team the opportunity to score a goal in vain, then now, when he saw with his own eyes how much damage Li Lei caused to Fulham's defense with those bold moves that he seemed stupid and courageous, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He knew that if he didn't come up with a solution, even if Van der Sar was a thousand-armed Guanyin in front of Fulham's goal today, he would probably be crushed by Manchester United's gradually fierce wave after wave of attacks.
But can Coleman really come up with anything? The answer is no.
For one, his coaching talent is really mediocre, and it is too unrealistic to expect him to come up with any clever tricks to turn the tide. Second, Fulham's own squad depth is limited, and there is no room for adjustment at all.
Therefore, his so-called method is nothing but shouting at the Fulham players on the field and reminding and knocking a few words.
"What the hell are you doing?! How long is it going for that damn Asian goalkeeper to humiliate you?! Damn it! If you can't get the ball, shovel him for me! Shovel him hard!! ”
Well, Mr. Coleman is really in a hurry, yelling, a little unspoken, and out of his mind. As soon as he said this, he immediately asked the fourth official on the side to walk towards him with a black face. On the pitch, it's not uncommon to use lethal tactics against a team like Manchester United, but it's embarrassing to shout out in front of the referee.
I'm afraid there is no referee at all, and I can stand the feeling of being completely ignored.
And, thanks to modern advanced technology, Coleman's almost gaffe shouting was heard clearly by almost everyone watching the televised broadcast, except for the fourth official on the side.
It is conceivable that after the game, Manchester United will definitely initiate the above against the FA. When the time comes, Coleman will be in trouble.
For him, it was a blessing in disguise, because the sound in the Old Trafford stadium was too loud at this time, and Ferguson happened to sit back in his position to watch the game, so the old manager happened not to hear his crazy words.
If Lao Shuai also hears it, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat at all and will go around. With the friendship between Ferguson and Li Lei, Coleman was sprayed lightly by a "hair dryer" on the spot. As well as the old coach's personal authority and prestige in the Premier League, it is not too easy to find some trouble for him.
But in contrast to this luck, although Ferguson did not hear his wild words, Li Lei's ears, who had just finished passing the ball near the arc of the center circle and had not yet retreated to the goal, keenly caught it.
Although the whole sentence was not very clear, just a few key words, which were scolded by Coleman very loudly, were enough for Li Lei to sketch the outline of the whole sentence in his mind.
Although Li Lei's attention has been focused on the field before, that doesn't mean he forgot Coleman's pre-match comment about his comparison with Van der Sar. has a particularly grudge in his character, and he has always remembered it, waiting for the opportunity to fight back against Coleman.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could do anything to Coleman, the other party came out like this again. At this moment, the relationship between him and Coleman can be regarded as a new hatred and an old hatred, and it is completely barred.
Originally, he didn't plan to do anything to Coleman. After all, as Van der Sar's coach, it is understandable for the opponent to favor his own players, and even if he wants to fight back, at most he will only be a little humiliated in front of him, and will not do more.
But now, the situation is different, and Li Lei has changed his mind.
Coleman may not have noticed it yet, but he did provoke a dangerous man he hadn't anticipated. Li Lei may not inflict any substantial damage on his body, but it can definitely make him completely lose all face at the moment and not get off the stage.
In a way, this may be more unacceptable to him than a direct beating to Coleman.
And Li Lei happens to like to do such things the most.
Li Lei retreated in the direction of the goal, but his eyes were already slightly narrowed, but he kept staring at Coleman, who was being warned by the fourth official, but still did not listen to the advice, angry and angry.
The gaze is like a murderous sword!
Cold!!
Murderous !!
