Chapter 304

"It's all your fault!"

Of course, Gerald would not be stupid enough not to know that Li Lei was deliberately provoking and teasing his emotions with this sentence, but even if he knew that this was the case, his mind still stirred up waves for this, or he had to be stirred up by it.

Because, he is the captain of Liverpool and the leader of the Reds, which is the responsibility and responsibility that he should have bore in the first place. No matter how strong his psychological quality is, he can't avoid it.

After being stimulated by this, Gerrard became more and more active in the following games, and even had a bit of a desperate posture in the midfield's crazy running and pressing, regardless of his body that had already sent a signal of exhaustion, desperately gritting his teeth and insisting on all this.

Led by him, the rest of the Liverpool players did not give up hope, but followed Gerrard to launch a final fierce counterattack against Manchester United.

It's just that their slightly impatient counterattack at this time seems to be too late, although it can't be said that there is no hope at all, because the game has not officially ended after all, but their impatient and low-quality attack at this time is really difficult to achieve.

Not to mention threatening Li Lei, even Manchester United's back line is difficult to penetrate. Moreover, even if they were lucky enough to cross Manchester United's back line, Li Lei at this time was completely sure that they would make a futile effort and return in vain.

In the final bits of the game, Houllier replaced a centre-back with Czech striker Barosz in an attempt to defend the Reds head-on with a bombardment of high altitudes and the number of strikers piled up in the house in the final stages, and to score in a chaotic manner.

But such an intention was completely extinguished in front of Li Lei's steady high-altitude ball handling in the penalty area.

After three minutes of stoppage time, Gerrard pressed Gary Neville with a cramped right leg, and Liverpool had three consecutive corners before the end of the game, but none of them were solved by Li Lei's easy attack.

In the end, all the Liverpool players pressed, and even their goalkeeper Reina entered the Manchester United penalty area to participate in the corner kick, which made the Manchester United penalty area look very overcrowded, which once made the Manchester United fans on the scene very nervous, for fear that at such a time, there would suddenly be a picture of the team being killed by a mortal enemy.

Because, in that case, even if the victory of this game does not have any real impact on Manchester United, it will be enough to make them depressed for a whole month.

But the thrilling picture they imagined did not appear at all, and Li Lei used three clean single punches to resolve the last struggle of this wave of Liverpool, and did not give it any opportunity to take advantage of it at all.

"Toot!"

In Li Lei's third consecutive corner kick attack in Liverpool, he once again used a decisive attack and hit the football far away from the penalty area with a single fist, and the referee Riley's whistle finally sounded.

Lineker immediately summed up the game: "No goals! Liverpool didn't pull off a miracle and they ultimately failed to take the three points at Old Trafford. However, in the game that ended earlier, Villa, who were just one point behind them in the table, managed to win 2-1 away at Myburgh and picked up three points. In other words, in the current Premier League standings, Liverpool has slipped to fifth place and left the Champions League zone, which is a really bad end for Houllier and Liverpool. If Liverpool are not able to play in the Champions League next season, I am sure that all Liverpool fans will not be able to accept such a result. ”

"For United fans, it's the other way around. Although Manchester United continued their weakness in this game, it may be a pity for them to be unable to win against their arch-rivals Liverpool despite dominating the game. But the mere fact that it has stalled the Reds' progress in qualifying for the Champions League and caused them great problems at this crucial moment is enough to make them happy and cheer for the team. ......”

I have to say that Lineker's words were really to the point, not only making his partner on the side, Alan Hansen, who is a famous Liverpool legend, deeply frown, but also intuitively expressing the thoughts in the hearts of Manchester United fans at this time.

Although the end of the game was not a victory for Manchester United, the stands of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford were still full of cheers, applause and singing. This is a very obvious expression of the mood of Manchester United fans at the moment.

Among them, the singing from the West Stand where the Manchester United die-hard fans are located is particularly loved by Li Lei, "Oh, thanks to Gerrard, oh, thanks to him for being a soft-footed shrimp, oh, thanks to his penalty ......"

Such a spicy and sarcastic singing voice is exactly what Li Lei's appetite is, and from the first moment he hears it, Li Lei raises his eyebrows with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily show a smug smile.

For him, the United fans' mockery of Gerrard was an indirect tribute to his contributions.

The only thing that made Li Lei feel a little regretful was that he couldn't see with his own eyes what kind of expression Gerald had on his face after hearing this song with his own ears.

Because, as soon as the game ended, Gerrard walked directly into the players' tunnel with his head bowed, and he was not in the mood to greet the Manchester United players for a while after the game. At this time, he was in a state of extreme self-remorse after learning the result of the game from his assistant coach.

However, this small regret did not affect Li Lei's mood. Although the team unfortunately did not win the game in the end, his personal clean sheet in this game was enough to make him happy.

Maybe in the future, he will become more and more numb to the clean sheet until it doesn't matter, but that's definitely not now.

For Li Lei, who has started less than half of Manchester United's games throughout the season, he is still a rookie in football at this time, and any game victory, personal performance or honor is still very, enough to make him feel very happy and exciting.

What he didn't know, however, was that just as he was enjoying the rare brief pleasure and surplus after the game, a remark by Eriksen, who was intercepted by reporters outside Old Trafford, would drag him into the whirlpool of public opinion again for some time to come.

"Mr Eriksen, do you have Manchester United's Lee on your watch list today? Will you call him up to the England squad? ”

'Lee, he's a brilliant, talented goalkeeper, and he's an Englishman. So, England national team, why not? ”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar!

A storm of public opinion about football and racial discrimination was born!!

Sweeping the British Peninsula!!
