Chapter 295
"Oh! Brown missedββ! Crossbeam! Also, Henryββ! No, still no goals. Oh my God, Brown almost got the football on his doorstep, what an unforgivable mistake! Thankfully, the ball was eventually denied by the crossbar and fell behind Henry Henry. Manchester United fans should be grateful to Lee for his quick reflexes, otherwise their team's door would have been breached by a stupid mistake. β
"Hmm~, pop ......"
The Manchester United fans at the scene obviously agreed with the commentator's point of view, and after exclaiming by luck, they immediately gave a loud applause to Li Lei, who was firmly pressing the football under him at this time.
Damn it!
However, it is obvious that Li Lei, who is still in shock at the moment, did not have the heart to enjoy his applause, but still held the football in his arms with all his might, as if he was afraid that someone would forcibly snatch it away.
It wasn't until he looked up and saw Henry, who had the same dull expression as him, that he suddenly came back to his senses and showed a playful and provocative smile.
In his code of conduct, the fight against provocative enemies is the first priority, no matter what the circumstances.
"Hey man, it looks like Lady Luck has a crush on me today and can't like you. How, do you want to give up? Li Lei said with a wicked smile and a flirtatious glance at Henry.
"Humph! Then you expect that woman to protect you for the rest of your life! β
However, he didn't take advantage of it, and obviously he was not in the mood to say anything to Li Leiduo, so after dropping this sentence with a cold face, he immediately got up and ran away.
Before Henry got up to leave, his expression was so cold that he was about to drop the ice slag, which made Li Lei completely forget his frightened mood just now, and couldn't help but put a smile on his face.
Clearly, he had sensed that Henry's heart was far from being as calm as he appeared. From it, he smelled profitable.
This made him feel very good, and he didn't even put on a face when he apologized to Brown, who had just made a big mistake, but gave him a smile and a thumbs up, looking friendly and kind.
That scared Brown, though. He didn't forget how terrible the gritted teeth on Li Lei's face was when he scored that own goal against Birmingham City. Moreover, since then, for a whole week, he has not received a good face from Li Lei.
Lee: What's going on? Onset?
Just when Brown was still puzzled by Li Lei's strange attitude, Li Lei had already put the matter aside and refocused on the game.
Although he had just used the favor of the lady luck to squeeze Henry, that didn't mean that he would put the winner of this game on the ethereal luck of watching the sky eat. For Li Lei, who has a strong desire to control, he has always only focused on being able to control his own hands, and has not paid much attention to other things such as luck at all.
It's just that although Li Lei himself doesn't believe much in luck and some superstitious things, this is not the case for other players on the field.
Although the scientific civilization of modern society arose in Europe, superstition has never been an uncommon thing in the religiously rampant continent. When a person believes in the existence of God, he will naturally believe in the existence of demons and ghosts, which is an inevitable interdependent relationship.
Therefore, among European players, there are not a few people who believe in superstition. In European football, there are all kinds of interesting superstitious anecdotes, among which Li Lei has witnessed many of them.
For example, his Manchester United team-mate, Rio Ferdinand, who was still suspended at the time. The England centre-back is a well-known fanatic. Every time he stood in the tunnel before an official match, he had to sprinkle some water on his face, which almost became his own kind of prayer ritual, and it never fell at any time, even when it snowed in the cold of winter.
For this reason, he also asked Ferdinand why he did this at first. But the answer he got made Li Lei shake his head and wonder, he only thought that this was a habit developed by Ferdinand, but in reality it was not the case.
Summing up Ferdinand's answer, Li Lei thinks that he can use the analogy of a superstitious activity that existed in China a long time ago that his parents told him when he was a child, such as beating the gods or asking the gods to come up.
Li Lei naturally doesn't believe much about this, but through this, you can see what kind of attitude these European players have towards this kind of superstitious thing.
This is the same as at this time, when Li Lei himself did not mince about his good luck and focused on his own performance and hard work, the other players on the field muttered in their hearts.
"God is going to help us win today!"
"Shit, is God helping these goddamn Manchester United guys today?!"
Two very different ideas have played very different roles between the players on both sides. When the Manchester United players felt that there was some kind of divine protection, and their morale soared, the Arsenal players were a little unhappy. If you can't attack for a long time, it will make people impatient, and with this kind of God-destined negative thoughts, how can it not make people feel negative and sluggish.
Of course, it would be impossible for the Arsenal players to just give up the game. If they did, they would be completely isolated from Arsenal fans and the public. However, it is still possible to make them more and more irritable on the pitch and affect their calm game mentality.
After the 60th minute of the second half, the mentality of the Arsenal players began to show up in the game. The defensive moves started to get bigger, and the offense started to get straight and wide, losing the small, fast passes on the ground that they were good at...... Although this change is not obvious yet, it is only a small change, but this trend is indeed showing itself on the court.
Moreover, such a trend is also starting to change the situation on the pitch between the two sides. Arsenal, who had been stable with Manchester United, began to struggle, and the control of the situation on the field was no longer firmly in their control, and the balance of victory and defeat began to return to balance, and only the last straw was needed to complete the final reversal of the situation.
In the 69th minute of the second half, this final straw was added to the heads of Arsenal and Thierry Henry by Li Lei himself. This time, his quality, hard work and his excellent luck today gave Thierry Henry and the rest of the Arsenal players a fatal blow to their hearts.
"Ashley Cole! Cross, chance! Henry ββ! Oh, unbelievable! Unbelievable!! The post again denied King Highbury a goal, and after a toe block from Lee, the ball hit the post straight onto the post and flew off the line. The post blocked Arsenal's goal again! It's the goalpost again!! Again!! Was the goal of Old Trafford today by Lee some mysterious oriental sorcery?! It's unbelievable! It's like the entire gate has been covered with an invisible lid. β
"Could it be that Lee is really Henry's nemesis?!"
"It's hard to believe your eyes!!"
"Can't believe !!"
