It all started with a quick counter-attack from Arsenal.

After Giggs's penalty was mistakenly blown away by referee Bol, the mood of the Manchester United players was obviously greatly stimulated, and they seemed very anxious and excited on the field, and their attention was not all focused on the game, but after complaining to Bol to no avail, they put more energy on the fighting spirit and ruthlessness of the Arsenal players.

Ferguson on the sidelines immediately felt that something was wrong when he saw this, and he couldn't make any slight mistakes against this Arsenal team that was in its prime, otherwise, they would definitely be able to take the opportunity to give you a fatal blow. In this game, Manchester United's overall performance was certainly good, but after witnessing Arsenal's attack power and field control ability that is obviously beyond the current Manchester United team, the old coach is even more afraid of this Arsenal team.

So, after noticing this, he immediately rushed to the sidelines and gave his latest instructions to Keane and other midfield generals: "Roy! Roy!! Keep calm, damn it! Hold your horses!! Retreat quickly, recycle the formation, and don't focus too much on their feet. ......”

Ferguson's reminder was not timely, but in the end it was a step too late.

Pire, who retreated to the midfield to get the ball, deftly turned around to get rid of it, dodged Djemba's reckless long grab, and before Scholes behind him rushed to block, he directly made a long pass directly to Henry in the front, Li Lei, who was guarding in front of the goal, was keenly aware of the crisis like a cat with a fried hair.

Because at this moment, Manchester United's overall formation is in a state of rebound after conceding the goal, so after Henry successfully received a long pass from Pire, what remained in front of him was almost a porous and undefended Manchester United defense. Let Henry, who is at his peak, get such an opportunity, and the danger can be imagined.

At the moment when the crisis was formed, Li Lei didn't even have time to insert the water droplets on his eyelashes, his eyes were round, and he stared motionless in the rain curtain.

This is not the first time that Li Lei has faced the huge threat and pressure brought by Henry in front of goal. If it was the first time, Li Lei might have the confidence to catch Henry off guard, seize the opportunity of not understanding himself, or even completely despise himself, to resolve the crisis in front of him, but this time he couldn't do this, or Li Lei didn't dare to do it at all.

Although Li Lei couldn't see Henry's eyes and facial expressions clearly at this time because the rain curtain interfered too much with his vision, for some reason, he had a hunch in his heart that Henry was deliberately waiting for him to attack at this time, so as to take the opportunity to shoot directly at the goal behind him. It was precisely because of this inexplicable intuition that he had just given up the only time he could choose to attack before Henry received the ball, and his dangerous instinct made him instinctively stop his body on the goal line, which was already about to rush out at full speed.

Li Lei didn't know if his intuition was right this time, he only knew that although he didn't move in the eyes of others, in fact, his whole body was already hot because of the chaotic and violent mental activities just now, and in this cool rainy day, there was a fine sweat, but the traces were covered by the heavy rain.

Although Li Lei has always had thick nerves and a big enough heart, this kind of critical juncture, which is almost a moment of life and death, really does not allow him to be imprudent, nervous and anxious.

Just when Li Lei didn't have time to think about whether his intuition of not attacking this time was correct, and he was honestly waiting for Henry on the goal line, he didn't know that Henry's sharp and cold eyes at this time showed a look of pity and regret because of his choice at this time.

Li Lei's instincts saved him and the door behind him again this time, and in fact, part of Henry had been paying attention to Li Lei's movements in front of the goal before he received Pire's pass.

In view of the fact that Li Lei has always liked to attack boldly before, and occasionally likes to do some bold and unconventional ways of handling the ball, such as large-scale attacks, which attract everyone's attention, Henry deliberately kept an eye on it this time.

At the same time, in order to induce Li Lei to attack more boldly, he deliberately turned his back to the direction of the goal when he received the ball this time. Then, waiting for Li Lei to make a bold attack, he could directly turn and volley without stopping the ball with his back to the goal, pointing directly at the unguarded Manchester United door.

Henry thought that his plan had been done well enough, but he didn't expect Li Lei to be fooled at all, but to go against his previous style and stay in front of the door very honestly. I have to say that this really made Henry feel quite depressed, knowing that he might as well dribble the ball directly to the Manchester United penalty area.

Because, this time, Li Lei not only did not fall for it and ruined his original plan, but also because he deliberately took the ball with his back this time, giving Silvestre, who had been slightly thrown away by him before, a chance to catch up on the defense. By the time he got the ball and turned around, Sylvester was already in front of him.

However, Henry is Henry, and even if the original plan did not succeed, he immediately calmed down again. As one of the best strikers in the world, his strong self-confidence still makes him believe that he can still easily solve the current situation on his own. Immediately, he quickly rushed to Sylvester in front of him with the ball, just like a charging knight, without any hesitation or evasion.

Henry's powerful momentum immediately suppressed Sylvester. In the face of King Highbury, the French central defender did not dare to rush up at all, and could only follow Henry's dribbling forward, and retreat step by step.

Don't ask for the ball to break, and don't ask for himself to directly defuse Henry's attack, as long as he can hold the defensive position, in front of Henry at his peak, Sylvester chose the most conservative and minimum standard defensive strategy.

At the same time, behind Silvestre, Li Lei, who is the last checkpoint on Manchester United's defensive line, did not wait passively, but stared at Henry's movements with fierce eyes, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Even if the rain soaked his eyes slightly uncomfortable, he didn't wipe it, didn't separate a little attention, and kept paying full attention.

He didn't have enough confidence to be able to save a shot from Henry one-on-one after Henry got past Silvestre. In the case that it is possible to strangle the crisis in the cradle, he will still try to strangle the crisis in the cradle as much as possible. So, he's waiting, waiting for the moment when Henry is about to break through Silvestre, and that's the best time for him to make a move, if he doesn't want Henry to have a chance to get up.

Here it comes!

When Henry and Sylvester stepped into the penalty area line step by step, Li Lei's heart immediately tightened, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and his eyes were as bright as a full moon without blinking.

He knew that the penalty line was the last signal for a change of events, and so did Sylvester and Thierry Henry. The penalty line is a sensitive boundary for both the offensive and defensive sides. On the one hand, as soon as you step here, the defender has to restrain his movements, and any careless action may lead to a penalty mismatch. On the other hand, it reminds the attacker that it is time to make a move, because if the stalemate continues deeper, there will only be less and less room for the attacker to play and maneuver.

After stepping into the penalty area, while Henry was staring at Sylvestre in front of him, his eyes were also aimed at Li Lei, who was still honestly staying on the goal line behind Sylvester, and he knew that it would be too late if he didn't do it. After so much delay, he could already feel the heavy gasps of the Manchester United defenders not far behind him.

After making another feint with his left foot that seemed to be dangling at random on the football, Henry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slammed the ball to the right with his left foot, and the whole person moved like a rabbit to kill Sylvester's Youfang. Instead of choosing any feints, he chose to use his speed and explosiveness to eat his fellow French centre-back raw.

At the same time, Sylvester also began to shift his center of gravity to the right, but the gap in explosiveness opened the distance between him and Henry in an instant, and he could only stretch his legs as fast as possible to block Henry's direction.

Pregnant!

Seeing that Sylvester was no longer able to keep up with his movements, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of Henry's mouth. But before he could fully laugh, just as he was about to take another step to shake off Sylvester, a familiar roar rang in his ears: "Fuck! How can it be so simple!! ”

"It's not that simple!!"

Looking at Li Lei, who was in front of him, the figure was so fast that it was blurred, like an arrow from a string, flying at low altitude against the turf and flying at high speed towards the football under his feet, Henry was shocked and had only one thought in his heart.

How did this damn Asian end up here?!

How could it be possible here?!!

How can it be here?!!!
