Chapter 154: The Silent Li Lei

The Premier League has become the most commercially successful league in world football today, in addition to the extremely domestic football atmosphere and the exciting football culture that advocates fast-paced and high-confrontation, the Christmas schedule is definitely one of the important factors.

Although the Premier League does not have the characteristics of the winter break, it has repeatedly attracted critical voices, such as "inhumane" and "squeezing players", but I am afraid no one can deny that if it were not for the Premier League's unique Christmas schedule, the Premier League would not have such a large number of loyal fans around the world and the commercial value that all global businesses are eager to follow.

Even the most loyal fans of football leagues such as the Bundesliga and La Liga may not be able to resist watching the Premier League's hot Christmas schedule at Christmas to relieve the boredom of not having games to watch during the Christmas holiday.

In addition to its role in commercial development, the Christmas schedule has a more important and special meaning in the minds of Premier League teams, especially for giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

There is no doubt that the Christmas schedule is one of the most intense and difficult of any Premier League season, for anyone. No team would dare to claim that they could win two or even three games in a week. Continuous and intensive difficult games will bring a huge test of fitness and injury to any team, and it will close the actual quality gap between the teams as much as possible.

As a result, the Christmas schedule has also become a unique period of the Premier League season with the highest frequency of upsets and the highest success rate.

All of the above adds up to a unique phenomenon in the Premier League, which is that the points in the Christmas schedule are particularly "valuable".

Of course, the "value" here does not mean that one point in the Christmas schedule can be used as two points, but because of the huge difficulty in accumulating points in the Christmas schedule, this is the special period when teams are most likely to quickly close the gap between each other in the standings.

Even if you only get one point this Christmas fixture, it probably doesn't mean you've been chased by two points by the pursuers behind you, but it is likely that there is a two-point gap between you and the pursuers behind you.

It is precisely because of this that there is even a very interesting point in the Premier League: the most important period in determining the ownership of the Premier League title is not the beginning of the season at the starting line, nor the end of the season at the sprint, but in the Christmas schedule. The team that wins the Christmas schedule does not necessarily win the final championship of the season, but the team that does not play well in the Christmas schedule will not win the Christmas title.

Such an argument may seem exaggerated, but it is true. It is for this reason that the Christmas schedule has become a must for the giants of the Premier League. If there is a competition between the giants during this period, whether they are mortal enemies or not, it will definitely become a fierce and desperate showdown between Mars and the Earth.

There is no doubt that the Christmas schedule is extremely tough and difficult for any player who plays in the Premier League. But for a combative maniac like Li Lei, it is an exception, which will undoubtedly become his favorite big stage for the competition, which stimulates his blood and fighting spirit.

It's just a pity that, no matter what, at least in this Christmas schedule, he can only be a silent bystander.

Overall, Manchester United's Christmas schedule has been difficult, but the result has been good, with a thrilling victory. It's just that compared with the results, the process has been criticized by the outside world.

Compared to the unstoppable sweep momentum of previous seasons, Manchester United's Christmas schedule this season has been extremely difficult, with every game being a narrow one-goal victory, and the games are still thrilling and difficult, and it is not easy to win at all.

Although Ferguson has repeatedly said that it was the Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal before the Christmas schedule that led to the team's poor fitness and form, this result is a non-war crime, and strongly denies the outside world's doubts about Manchester United's overall strength.

It's just that his strong speech can't stop the outside world. All the game videos of Manchester United's Christmas schedule have been taken out by public opinion for detailed decomposition and analysis, and the shortcomings of Manchester United's lineup and tactical play this season have been explained in detail. Among them, the home game against Everton has become a typical example of criticism of Manchester United and Ferguson.

In this game, Manchester United played a smooth first half and easily took a three-goal lead. But just when everyone was expecting a big win for Manchester United, the second half was stormy. Led by Wayne Rooney, who made a name for himself in the '02 game against Arsenal with a stunning goal, Everton launched a fierce comeback, pulling two goals back in just 10 minutes after the start of the second half.

Wayne Rooney, the seemingly chubby but strong and impactful 18-year-old who seems to be a little chubby, but has excellent passing and dribbling skills, will be a thorn in the side of the eyes of Manchester United fans throughout the second half. Every time the England youngster gets the ball, it will cause bursts of exclamations and shrill boos from the Manchester United fans in attendance.

In the end, if it weren't for some luck, Manchester United, who were all in a mess and defended with all their might, might not be able to hold on to the last goal lead. In the end, although Everton still did not equalize, it and Rooney became the object of praise after the game, but Manchester United and Ferguson, who won, were in an embarrassing situation.

But while everyone was ridiculing Ferguson's pretense of strength, they didn't notice Ferguson's meaningful gaze on the "fat" guy who had just embarrassed him and his team.

Perhaps, the old man has found a key piece of the puzzle for another generation of the Red Devils.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with Li Lei. Although Manchester United's Christmas schedule has been stumbling, and Howard's performance in it is hardly satisfactory, Manchester United still has a good record of winning all of them.

Under such circumstances, the news popularity of Li Lei, who was praised by the outside world not long ago as a young talented goalkeeper who will definitely replace Howard immediately, naturally declined, until once again no one cared about it and fell silent.

Unless Howard once again puts in an intolerable bad performance that leads to a major loss for Manchester United, or the Carabao Cup semi-finals kick off, Li Lei will probably have to remain silent in public for a while.

From being the focus of being chased by everyone to being silent all of a sudden, this kind of drastic change may be difficult for other players to accept, but Li Lei is an exception.

In addition to being unhappy that he didn't play the game, he couldn't be more satisfied with the current situation without the outside world to bother him.

After spending an unforgettable and warm Christmas holiday with Li Xin'er and the Ferguson family, Li Lei quickly devoted all his energy to the daily heavy training life at Carrington Base.

Just as he had planned before, he had to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity to appear, and then grab it fiercely, and never let go.

After another day of rigorous outdoor training, Li Lei gasped and drank water, and sat on the training ground for a short rest. It's just that on his tired face, those eyes are shining, cold, wait, that damn Yankee!

"Lee, let's go, go to the gym. That's it for today's outdoor training! Before he could rest for a while, Richard's shouts suddenly rang out.

"Yes!" At this time, Li Lei was a little sore all over, and he was really tired enough, but after hearing Richard's shout, he immediately stood up without hesitation and answered loudly.

Then, he immediately strode in the direction of Richard and the others.

At this moment, his tall figure is like a huge and tall rock!

Tough!

Determination!!

Unshakable!!!
