Chapter 338
If the score remained 0-0 at the end of the first half, Ferguson was about to get angry in the dressing room at half-time.
Because, no matter what the situation, with the quality of Manchester United, it is impossible to play an entire half and not even score a goal against this Millwall team, no matter what, it is an unreasonable thing. Even if there were big problems in the attacking end of the pitch this season, it should never have come to this.
Thankfully, Cristiano Ronaldo's header in the 41st minute of the first half saved the entire United squad from having to get a blow dryer at half-time.
But that's about it.
Even if the boss didn't erupt angrily, his gloomy and unhappy face filled the United dressing room with a dull and depressing atmosphere for the entire 15 minutes of the break, and no Manchester United player dared to talk and laugh at this time.
And young players like Jemba and Ronaldo are like mice seeing cats, and they don't even dare to gasp.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who only recently became the winner of Manchester United's opening scoring, did not have the bright smile and high spirits of celebration, although he was still happy to smile when he first entered the dressing room, but after seeing Ferguson's gloomy face, he immediately put away his smile like a child who had done something wrong, straightened his face and lowered his head.
Except for occasionally raising his head when Ferguson laid out the tactical play in the second half, the rest of the time without exception kept his head down, for fear of becoming a bird and hitting Ferguson's muzzle.
Among these young players at Manchester United, Li Lei may be the only exception.
Back in the dressing room, although he also saw the gloomy look on Ferguson's face that was obviously unhappy and dissatisfied, he was like a veteran like Bart, who sat on the ground with his eyes closed and recuperated to prepare for the second half of the game.
This is not because he is now so bold that he is not afraid of Ferguson, but compared with Ronaldo and others, he who lives under the same roof with Ferguson obviously knows more about the old coach.
Although United's attacking line was hardly good in the first half, and although the 41st minute of the first half was thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's header to take the lead, such a result was still a little inadequate compared to the pre-match predictions and the impression that there was a close difference between United and Millwall, but it certainly wasn't enough to put on such an ugly face for Ferguson.
Maybe the old coach will have some dissatisfaction with this in his heart, but compared to this, in the old coach's ugly and gloomy face, the meaning of stimulating and alerting Manchester United players is obviously more.
In Li Lei's impression, although Ferguson has always been strict, he has never been the head coach who poured cold water on the players when the team situation was dominant. At most, it is just a few reminders and warnings, and it will never put on such an ugly and gloomy look. Even if there is some dissatisfaction in my heart, teaching the players is a matter of training in the future, not in the middle of the game.
So, if you look at it this way, Ferguson is just putting on a face now, but he doesn't say anything about the intention of reprimanding, which is very clear and clear.
Moreover, this is obviously not Li Lei's opinion alone. This can be seen only by looking at veterans such as Ryan Giggs and Scholes, although they seem to be silent, but in fact their relaxed and natural performance can be very obvious.
It is very obvious that Ferguson's silent stimulation with ulterior motives is obviously aimed at young players such as Ronaldo. It can even be said that it is okay to come specifically for Ronaldo, after all, after a season, it is no secret that the young Portuguese talent has a young man who shines with a little sunshine.
It is mainly because of this that in the locker room at halftime, Li Lei behaved so calmly. No matter what Ferguson did, he was still on the ground and resting with his eyes closed, until halftime came and he was about to play, and finally opened his eyes.
However, his detached, leisurely and calm appearance obviously caused the dissatisfaction of Ronaldo, who was not praised by Ferguson for scoring at halftime, but was specially warned by the old coach to cooperate more with his teammates.
"Humph! What is there to be proud of, the protagonist of this final is me, Ken is not a goalkeeper who has not done anything! ”
It's not a lot of dissatisfaction and hatred, it's just a lack of ignorance, naivety, and vindictiveness that belongs to the youth. This sentence Ronaldo passed by Li Lei, because Li Lei didn't do anything in the first half, and he scored a goal but was said a few words of depression and dissatisfaction and whispered, which made Li Lei even can't help but chuckle.
However, at this time, he did not have much effort to deal with Ronaldo. If it was in normal times, he might be happy to tease Ronaldo and have some fun, but now he doesn't have anything more important, waiting for him to concentrate all his energy to complete.
A fat and huge prey, but waiting for him to hunt it himself!
If he wants to be an old fritter like Danny Wise in an official competition, Li Lei will not think that this will be a very easy thing to do, and he has long been ready for a hard fight in his heart.
If Lee Lei was greeted by a tsunami of cheers from Manchester United fans before the start of the game, then now when he enters the stadium, the first thing that catches his ears is Millwall's piercing boos.
After the two teams switched sides in the second half, Li Lei's gate was no longer a concentration camp for Manchester United fans, but for Millwall fans.
No matter how bad the outside world has about Millwall fans, judging by the loyalty of the team alone, they are clearly qualified, even excellent.
Despite the growing optimism about Millwall's prospects in the FA Cup final after United managed to take the lead in the first half, almost to the point of nine per cent of mainstream public opinion, their enthusiasm and support for the team and the upcoming second half of the game have not waned at all, but have only grown stronger.
Compared with Manchester United players in other positions, Li Lei, who is sitting in front of the goal, has obviously become the first victim of their high enthusiasm.
In the first half, because Manchester United's half was really under the stands of Manchester United fans, they couldn't express or respond to the two middle fingers that Li Lei had already spread among them before the game, but now the situation is different, Li Lei has already taken the initiative to send them to them, it can be said that they are not booing at this time, let alone when.
"Shh!!h
Therefore, when Li Lei just entered the second half and walked to the gate, after a 15-minute break to recuperate, the Millwall fans who approached the gate of Manchester United threw their shrill boos and angry scolding into Li Lei's ears.
"Hey! Yellow-skinned monkey, today we're going to kick your ass! ”
"Why don't you lick my ass, in that case, maybe we can let you go!"
"Scared, ah! You softass! ”
"Where's your braids? Where's your braid, yellow-skinned monkey! ”
......
For this, Li Lei was stunned for a moment before reacting.
The cold light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
This smile is cold!
Frozen to the bone marrow!!
With a murderous look on one's face!!!
