Chapter 210: Knotting the Beam

This time, Ivanov did not look forward to the penalty decision, which certainly made the Manchester United fans at the scene happy, but what they didn't expect was that only 3 minutes later, the Russian referee, who had just been praised by them, became the most incompetent and qualified "black whistle" in their mouths.

At this time, the regular 45 minutes of the first half had run out, and it was time for the final injury time of the first half. Moreover, because the actions of both sides in the first half seemed to be very restrained, there was no excessive reason, and the injury time was only 2 minutes.

But what people didn't expect was that it was in this short two minutes that Manchester United launched what was considered their most dangerous attack in the first half, and the chances of scoring were better than Scholes's header.

In this defence, the defensive attention and mood of the Porto players were clearly affected by Ivanov's penalty award, and they were a little unfocused throughout the process, a phenomenon they did not have in the entire first half.

Had it not been for this, they probably wouldn't have allowed Ruud van Nistelrooy to sit down to Patrick Ferreira and Porto captain Costa, who had been sent off injured, to keep the ball firmly in control and give him plenty of time to handle the ball without the tight, ferocious siege he did before the first half.

It was for this reason that Ruud van Nistelrooy had the chance to knock the ball back to Ryan Giggs, who cut inside in the middle of the pitch, and let him finish with a low right-footed shot from 10 yards out in front of goal. Although the Welsh winger's shot was deflected wide of goal by Porto centre-back Carvalho, the ball was right at the feet of Paul Scholes, who had cut in into the box. With a low shot from 5 meters from goal, Ginger Head had no choice but to watch the ball drill into the far post with a low shot that left Porto goalkeeper Bea helpless.

Rumble!!!

But just as the Manchester United fans had just jumped up from their seats and the deafening cheers were just out, and the Manchester United players on the field were about to rush to Scholes for a frantic celebration, the referee Ivanov's sudden whistle suddenly extinguished the excitement that had just burned in their hearts.

It turned out that it was only at this time that people suddenly discovered that the flag in the hands of the linesman had already been raised, and Ivanov was constantly gesturing offside with his right hand.

This time, the whole Old Trafford stadium is booming!

When the Porto players and Mourinho showed their lucky expressions on the pitch, Manchester United fans, players and Ferguson on the sidelines were naturally not satisfied. As the barrill boos of Manchester United fans filled the air over Old Trafford, Ferguson and the Manchester United players surrounded the nearest members of the referee team, forming a fierce siege.

It's no wonder they're so excited, because the goal is so important. Although the score between the two teams at this point will eventually qualify for the last eight of this season's Champions League, it is too dangerous and Porto only need one goal to completely turn the situation around. And once Paul Scholes's goal is counted, this dangerous situation can be greatly reversed, at least even if Porto can score a goal, the two teams will only be evenly divided, and Manchester United will not need to face the danger of being on the verge of elimination.

Because of this, if Li Lei hadn't been firmly held by Fei Lan at this time, I am afraid that he would have lost his mind in anger and rushed to the fourth official again to make a fierce complaint.

But no matter how dissatisfied Manchester United is and how much they protest, the referee will definitely not change the decision because of this. Ferguson and the experienced Manchester United players are also very clear about this, and the reason why they are doing "useless work" so fiercely now is that in addition to venting the extreme anger in their hearts at the moment, they want to use this to put pressure on the referee team, and try to get back in the second half of the penalty when they have already suffered a loss.

This can be regarded as a means for them to pursue "good luck" as much as possible in the midst of misfortune.

Seeing that the situation on the field in front of him was still chaotic, Li Lei, who had calmed down a little, endured his angry dissatisfaction, broke free of Ferran's pull, and returned to his position on the bench and sat down.

But no matter what, that strong feeling of depression and dissatisfaction will definitely not disappear in his heart for a while. Because, he knows very well that the penalty made by the referee team just now was a misjudgment. Although he sat on the bench from a distance, he had super dynamic vision, but he could also see the process of Manchester United's goal just now, when Giggs shot, Porto's left wing-back Valente dragged at the end, so Scholes on the back was absolutely not offside at that moment, which was definitely a miscalculation!

It is precisely for this reason that when he thinks of the importance of this goal to Manchester United, Li Lei will seem as angry as he is now. Otherwise, even if this is a miscalculation, if the damage to Manchester United is not as big as it is now, he will not be able to control his emotions as he is now.

Shit's blind referee!

After muttering hatefully, he couldn't help but turn his gaze in the direction of Ferguson, who was still protesting fiercely from the sidelines against the fourth official. But the first thing that caught his eye and caught his attention was not Ferguson, who was angry at the moment, but Mourinho, who was standing far in front of the Porto coach's bench with a smug sneer.

Because, at this time, Mourinho also happened to be staring at him.

After seeing Li Lei's gaze, the Portuguese young marshal suddenly shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, just like Li Lei had done to him before, making an identical "innocent" gesture, even the thick, undisguised disdain and banter at the corners of his eyebrows and mouth were almost the same.

The meaning is obvious, Mourinho is obviously avenging Li Lei's provocation just now: Look, now it's your turn! Deserve!!

Seeing this, while Li Lei was unhappy in his heart, he had to admit that the personality of this Portuguese young marshal had already been maverick to the point that it was almost the same as him. It's a very remarkable and rare thing for a manager to have such a-for-tat confrontation with a young player on the opposing bench who is so disrespectful and unscrupulous.

"Toot-"

At this moment, seeing that Manchester United's emotions were a little uncontrollable and the scene was too chaotic, for fear that after the game restarted, Ivanov, who would cause even more chaos, suddenly blew the whistle at the end of the game. Then, despite the unrelenting protests of the Manchester United players, he trotted into the tunnel with his referee staff amid the cacophony of boos from the United fans.

At the same time, Mourinho, who was still provoking Li Lei just now, also turned his head and hurriedly walked to the players' tunnel. He is well aware that now is not the time to rejoice in the goal that was blown away by Manchester United, after all, his Porto are still the eliminated side from the aggregate scoreline. Therefore, what he has to do now is not to fight with Li Lei, but to quickly arrange a winning tactic for the team's second half of the game.

It has to be said that although Mourinho's personality is too strong compared to other managers in world football at present, his professional attitude and desire to survive are not lost to anyone else.

Li Lei also agrees with this in his heart.

However, it is precisely because of this that he put Mourinho on his list of enemies. If Mourinho didn't have this ability, Li Lei wouldn't have done it, the opponent he wants must have this value, but not everyone can do it. Otherwise, he might not even bother to remember the other party's name.

Mourinho, who had already turned his head and walked towards the players' tunnel, probably didn't know how cold and cold Li Lei's gaze was at his back at this moment!

It's hair-barring!

Panic!!
