It's just that no matter how Joy Barton wants to deal with Li Lei, how he wants to breathe a sigh of relief for Anelka, and no matter how Li Lei wants to hunt his second prey, it seems that both of them will have to wait long enough. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Anelka was sent off, the 10-man Manchester City immediately began to retract into their own half under the instructions of Keegan on the sidelines as soon as the game resumed, and played a turtle-like all-out tight defense, without even the slightest idea of attacking.

Keegan's current thinking is very simple, don't say anything about winning or not winning, and now that these two goals are behind and there is one less player, let's find a way to hold on to the first half. At least until the start of the second half, he won't waver in that idea.

Such a tactical change may seem a bit of a wretched and unambitious, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for Manchester City at this extremely unfavorable situation at the moment.

When Manchester United, who regained control of the ball, wanted to take advantage of the last little time left in the first half to score another goal for Manchester City, and then completely end the suspense of the game in the first half, and complete the highest indicators set by Ferguson before the game, they found that there was anger in their hearts, and the Manchester City defense, which frequently used fierce defense under the referee's intentional or unintentional favoritism, was not so easy to break.

In the face of Manchester City's complete stubborn defense at this moment, which did not even have a single counterattack, they had no effective way for a while, so they could only honestly calm down and slowly look for offensive opportunities.

In this way, after the first half, which had been full of gunpowder and constant conflicts, reached this final stage, the scene suddenly calmed down. Although the situation between the players on both sides is still playing out on the pitch, but in terms of the overall situation, it is quite a bit windless and waveless.

Although there were so many minutes of injury time in the middle of the clash that there were an extraordinary seven minutes of stoppage time in the first half, the game was very calm during those seven minutes.

Among them, Li Lei, who stayed in front of the gate of the backfield, was even more idle. Toman City was so stubborn that he didn't even touch a football for seven minutes. In the end, if it weren't for Ferguson's stern roar, he would have almost walked to the center circle without anyone paying attention, parallel to Brown and Sylvester, who were pressed as a whole.

Seeing this, Lineker couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahahaha, it seems that Lee is too boring." Looking at his position, if it weren't for Sir Alex Ferguson's roar, I wouldn't have noticed that he had reached a position so far from the gate near the centre circle. It seems that this is really an idle little fellow, and Sir Alex Ferguson has trained him in the future. The presence of the goalkeeper in the centre circle was enough to scare all managers out of their minds. Hahaha......"

It was not only Lineker who noticed that Li Lei appeared in an abnormal position by Ferguson's roar, but many Manchester United fans at the scene also noticed it. After seeing Li Lei being scolded by Ferguson and immediately retreating in the direction of the gate, they let out a good-natured laugh in unison.

For Li Lei, Manchester United's biggest new discovery this season, there is no one of them, Manchester United fans who love to see the young and new from Carrington's Old Trafford stadium have infinite tolerance.

Of course, Li Lei himself didn't find this scene interesting, but it was very embarrassing. Before and after returning to the gate, he pursed his lips in a wry manner, and couldn't help but say a few words to Ferguson in his heart, such as the old man didn't save me some face or something.

This scene was also the last highlight of the first half of the game, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score of 2:0 did not change.

Ferguson didn't say much good things in the dressing room throughout the break. In addition to arranging for the French Saha and Fuqiong, who had just joined the team during the winter break, to replace Gary Neville and Ruud van Nistelrooy at the beginning of the second half, it was to knock Li Lei and stop him from standing in the middle circle in a position that does not belong to the goalkeeper.

In this regard, although Li Lei had some objections in his heart, because the best coverage of his goalkeeper's style of play should include the entire second half, and the second half, when the overall situation has been decided, is not the best testing ground, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In addition to being afraid of Ferguson's majesty, he also knows that this kind of thing is too shocking no matter where it is put in today's world football, and it is already a great surprise to let Ferguson, who has always been strong-faced, agree with him to experiment with the goalkeeper's style of play this season.

The inability to further test the doorman's kicking style certainly made Li Lei a little disappointed, but in the blink of an eye, he quickly cheered up again. He hadn't forgotten that, in addition to experimenting with the goalkeeper's kick, there was still a prey waiting for him to hunt in the Manchester City squad.

As soon as he remembered that when he met with Joy Barton when he just left the half-time, the fierce eyes of the Manchester City youth player looking at him, the corners of Li Lei's mouth, who was sitting in the locker room with his eyes closed, couldn't help but hook up again, and it was the tyrannical cold smile before the hunt.

However, if he wants to hunt again, the first big problem in front of Li Lei is not whether he can take Joy Barton away, but whether he can have a chance to see Joy Barton appear in front of him in the second half.

But what Li Lei didn't expect was that just at the beginning of the second half, Joey Barton appeared in front of him, and he took the initiative to walk in front of him.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City unsurprisingly continued their stubborn tactics in the final stages of the first half, without any idea of pressing out to attack. But just when everyone was predicting when United would score their first goal in the second half, to everyone's surprise, the first shot on target in the first half came from the feet of a Manchester City player.

In the 48th minute of the second half, perhaps because the pressure on Manchester United's back line was too low due to the pressing of Wanchope, the negligent Brown made the lowest mistake at this moment.

As the last Manchester United centre-back, he actually stopped Silvestre's sparse and usual pass to Toda. What's worse is that at this moment, Manchester City's lone striker Wanchope is cruising beside him, which is simply a big gift, taking the initiative to send the football to Wanchope's feet.

In the face of this big gift, Wan Chope, who was already about to give up the robbery and his morale had declined, did not let it go. Although Brown was immediately shocked and tried his best to make a vicious sliding tackle to break the ball off the touchline, he was still one step behind Wanchope.

By the time his big tackle arrived, Wanchope had already stabbed the ball away and jumped up to avoid Bronner's right foot, which he had raised just in case.

"Hmm!"

With the uniform exclamations of the entire Old Trafford stadium, Manchester City, who had just been completely beaten by Manchester United in an instant, and saw no hope of scoring, actually got an excellent one-on-one opportunity for nothing.

"Oh! Brown, Brown made a mistake! Wanchope got the ball, he strode quickly towards the United goal, will he score?! Once he manages to get on the scoresheet, there will be no doubt that the suspense of this game will come back again. Will Wanchope bring a ray of life to Manchester City, or will Lee save Manchester United again!? This is the matchup between the striker and the goalkeeper, the most romantic and deadly duel on the football field!! Will it score?! Will you score?!! ......”

In the face of Lineker's excited question, Li Lei's answer was a well-timed attack and a successful save.

From the moment Brown lost the ball, Li Lei's whole body instantly tensed as if he had been electrified, and his eyes were staring at Wanchope, who was rushing with the ball quickly.

At the moment, his position is near the 12-yard point. After Brown conceded the ball, he did not blindly retreat or attack blindly, but adopted a strategy that was both calm and correct.

In such a position, he can either drop back quickly to prevent the possibility of Wanchope's lob shot, or he can see the right moment to strike quickly when Wanchope is near the penalty area, which is the most advantageous position he can find in this situation.

However, while it is the most advantageous, it is by no means a foolproof position. When he was in this position, once Wanchope got up and hit a long-range world wave, there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, Li Lei is also gambling, betting that Wan Chope does not have such strong self-confidence in the face of him, and directly kicks a long shot outside the penalty area.

And there is no doubt that he was right.

Whether it was Li Lei's sharp and cold eyes that had been staring at Wanchope, or Li Lei's super saving ability that had already shown that made Wanchope hesitate, the Manchester City striker did not choose to shoot directly from outside the penalty area during the hesitation.

Moreover, what is even more beneficial to Li Lei is that the Manchester City striker who picked up the big gift from Brown also made a mistake at this moment. Facing Li Lei, in the face of this kind of single-knife ball that can be handled in a variety of ways, he was a little hesitant.

In many cases, there are some similarities between one-shot and penalty kicks, whether it is the goalkeeper or the striker, the side that hesitates always loses. This time, it's no exception.

When Wanchope was about to enter the penalty area, but because of hesitation and mistakenly drove the ball too wide, Li Lei's eyes lit up instantly, just like a hunting cheetah, seizing the opportunity and rushing out instantly. Although in the end, it was Wanchope who took the lead in accelerating to grab the football, but when he looked up, he was shocked to find that Li Lei had already appeared in front of him at the same time, and was clinging to him tightly, calmly killing the space where he would handle the ball next.

Seeing this scene, Wanchope, who was already not in good psychological quality, panicked even more. In such a situation, he instinctively chose to shoot directly, and hit Li Lei's crotch.

However, Li Lei was prepared.

Although he didn't save the ball directly, a quick underslash to the deafening cheers of the United fans blocked Wanchope's low shot and didn't let the ball go through his crotch.

But just when Li Lei got up quickly, stuck behind him and still wanted to fight, Wan Chope, who had atoned for his crimes, turned his head and flew towards the football that was jumping to the side, Brown's exclamation suddenly came out of his ears: "Li, be careful!" ”

Although he didn't know what Brown was shouting to be careful, Li Lei reacted instinctively. After holding the football with both hands, he immediately rolled over while lying on the field.

As soon as he rolled a little, a vicious wind instantly hit his head. Although he dodged most of it, his forehead was still rubbed a little, and there was a hot pain in an instant.

After the tumbling momentum stopped, Li Lei immediately looked up at the place where the incident had just happened, and he knew everything that had just happened at a glance.

In that spot, Joy Barton was lying on the pitch with a sliding tackle, staring at him fiercely and regretfully. Behind him was a distinctly deep gliding trail, littered with grass clippings and chunks of turf that had been lifted.

After seeing all this, Li Lei still didn't know what had just happened.

I see! I see!!

Li Lei sneered and wiped the hot pain on his forehead, and after seeing the scarlet blood stains on the glove, he immediately stretched out his tongue and licked it.

When the sweet smell of blood suddenly spread in his mouth, he suddenly grinned silently after looking at Joy Barton.

The smell of blood is strong!

Thick pungent!!

This laughs, fanatics!

Perverted fanaticism!!

And the smell of blood and the laughter combined turned into cold again!

It's cold to the bone!!

Hellish Ice-Cold !!
