Chapter 64: The Turning Point

"Oh!! Lee: What are you doing?! Is he dancing?!! Hahaha, I have to say, his dancing style is really not very good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info if he wants to attract the attention of enough beautiful girls in the nightclub, he needs to work on this aspect. A commentator close to Manchester United teased with kindness after seeing Li Lei's dancing posture, which can only be regarded as a writhing dance.

The one-goal lead made the supporters of Manchester United's side completely relaxed, and began to talk nonsense and amusement. Among them, Li Lei's strange dance posture from an alien planet unexpectedly attracted the attention of many of them.

Li Lei may not know that in just a short period of time after the restart of the game, his short dance video has become the focus of heated discussions among online fans, and has been clicked on by crazy clickers. There are fast hands and feet, and they have even started uploading parody videos.

Some people may think that these Manchester United supporters are happy too soon, even if Arsenal are already behind, only 10 men to face it, and there are only 3 minutes of injury time left in the final game time, but the game is not really over after all, as long as Henry and other superstars shine, it can change the outcome of the game in an instant.

Such an idea is certainly true, but it is too subjective.

If they look closely, they can see that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stunning goal has completely shattered the confidence and morale of the Arsenal players.

This phenomenon was very noticeable when the game restarted. On the whole, although Arsenal has put on a counterattack posture, it has completely crossed in terms of momentum.

This is clear from the way Arsenal are on the pitch at this point, with frustration, frustration and disappointment making the players lack motivation to act. And this directly led to the distance between the front, middle and back lines being widened, and the formation became loose and no longer rigorous.

This kind of formation is the formation that a team that wants to fight back violently and violently should have, and it is obviously a straggler who has admitted defeat in his heart.

In such a situation, Henry and a few other Arsenal players who are willing to fight back and are unwilling to lose can be said to have little help from their teammates, and can only work alone.

But that's easier said than done. Not to mention, what about the Manchester United players on the field, Ferguson, who was in command on the sidelines, had already given instructions before the game restarted, telling the Manchester United players not to be too happy, to retreat to the defense with all their might, to survive the last three minutes, and never allow early relaxation.

If Henry was very capable of riding the Savior alone in this situation, not to mention Ferguson, even Li Lei would have recognized it. When they have tried their best to do their best, this miraculous thing still happens, and that is the crime of non-war, which is God's will.

But it is clear that today providence is not on the side of Arsenal and Thierry Henry.

Although Henry and the others had the intention to launch the final attack in these last minutes, they had been waiting for it all the time, and Li Lei, who had not slackened in the slightest, spent the last few minutes very easily, without even making a single save.

Aside from an easy shot over Henry's head, he didn't even get off the goal line.

Compared to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's winner, the last three minutes of stoppage time were actually quite calm. Aside from a couple of irritable and unwilling fouls by the Arsenal players, the whole process has been uneventful.

"Toot! Honk! Honk! ~”

Finally, when the three minutes were finally over, with the referee on duty blowing the whistle, the much-anticipated battle between the Red Devils and the Gunners finally ended with a score of 1-0, and Ferguson's Manchester United won a high-value victory at Highbury Stadium.

After the game, Li Lei deservedly became the best player of the game.

For this, he also had to hold the champagne and undergo the frenzied flash baptism of the media. With the "swish" shutter press, the reporters also threw their own questions at him. One by one, they scrambled to almost insert the microphone and recorder into Li Lei's mouth and nostrils.

It's just that their questions are a little off-topic, and they basically have nothing to do with Li Lei's performance in this game, the pre-match handshake ceremony, the boxing of Vieira and Vieira's red card, the middle finger at halftime, including that strange dance, are the focus of their attention.

It's just that no matter how loud they shouted and how actively they squeezed forward, Li Lei, who was holding a huge champagne bottle, always looked disdainful and sneered, and didn't mean to say a word.

He also ignored the FA officials who were a little embarrassed to hand out the champagne, and when the appointed time for the interview was up, he turned around with the bottle and squeezed away from the reporters.

He sneered and didn't say a word throughout the whole process.

Faced with Li Lei's refusal to cooperate, the reporters who looked at his back could only scold him with hatred as before, and then agreed never to write anything good about Li Lei in the report.

In this regard, Li Lei naturally didn't care at all, as before.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters who were holding back their breath here here vented their unhappiness on Ferguson, who was in a good mood.

After the Scottish coach had just finished his comments that he was very satisfied with the overall performance of the team and even the players, the unceremonious questions from the reporters made him completely put away his smiling happy face, and once again pulled down his face, a look of anger and unhappiness.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, what do you think of the actions of the players on both sides at the pre-match handshake? Will such behaviour tarnish the brand image of the Premier League? Don't you think your number 13 should be the main culprit for this? ”

'What do you think of Patrick Vieira's second yellow card? Is Lee's fall acting? What do you think of his approach to being so unfair-play on the field? ”

"Lee's middle finger to the Arsenal fans is too uncivilized, would you give him a warning for that?"

.....

In addition to reporters, Arsene Wenger on the side was not to be outdone. He gave examples of Li Lei's barbaric behavior one by one and criticized them with righteous words.

Especially in response to the incident of Li Lei using a falling performance to get Vieira off the field, he made a rare and strong statement: "If I were Ferguson, I would never let such a player exist in my team." His presence is nothing short of murdering the team's brand image and insulting the rules of fair play in football, which no amount of good saves he can make up for. ”

In the face of such a fierce public opinion attack, Ferguson, who has always been known for protecting calves, finally couldn't help but get angry in the end, and roared: "I am the manager of Manchester United." Lee is a very talented and dedicated goalkeeper and I can tell you very clearly that he will definitely not be punished by the team for some of his actions on the pitch in today's game. ”

"Some cowards are like that, if they can't get it on the field, they have to try their best to get it off the field. If that's the case, why don't he think about the FA president crying, because maybe then he'll get a lollipop and a good rating from a good boy. ”

"But with me, this coward gets nothing! Nothing!! Because he's just a piece of shit!! ”

After roaring at this paragraph, he didn't care how blue Wenger's face was, and he directly flicked his sleeves angrily and turned away.

However, compared with Wenger's ugly face, the reporters in the audience looked much better. Although they were also mercilessly scolded by Ferguson in this passage, they also gained more valuable news material as a result, which is more important than anything else.

After leaving Highbury, the United squad did not return to Manchester from London, but flew directly to Greece on an international flight. Three days later, they will host their first Champions League group stage opponents of the season, the Greek Premier League's Panathina.

Due to the tight schedule, they did not return to Manchester and then fly to Greece, but went directly to Greece for a final rest before the game.

Luckily, it was a very disparity for Manchester United.

So, even with a hard-fought 90-minute battle against Arsenal ahead, they can still come with a very relaxed mentality.

With this mentality, the Manchester United players, who had just experienced a hard battle on the plane and were a little tired, did not even hurry up to rest, but laughed and talked to each other, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the cabin.

At this time, Li Lei was also chatting with Keane, who had the best relationship in the team.

"Hey, boy, how does boxing that Frenchman feel? Isn't it cool? Keane asked Li Lei, half teasingly, half curiously.

Although he and Patrick Vieira are famous old rivals in the Premier League, whenever Manchester United and Arsenal have a match, the two will always break out into fierce clashes and physical confrontations, but if you really want to use your fists and face, there is still really no.

Therefore, Keane's mentality at this time is really quite subtle, in addition to gloating about Vieira's encounter, there is also a sense of emptiness of "my monster was robbed by your kid".

And Li Lei still had a cold face, and said lightly: "It's not bad, his face is not particularly hard." ”

Although these words sounded like indifferent words, the faint smug tone in the words did not escape Keane's ears, and the Irish villain immediately burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of appreciation and recognition of Li Lei.

Keane's loud laughter caught the attention of Ferguson, who was sitting at the front, and the old man couldn't help but look back and saw Keane laughing and patting Li Lei on the shoulder with a "you are very much with my appetite" expression. Although Li Lei still had a cold face, there was no expression of dislike on his face.

It seems that this bastard is finally starting to integrate into the team. Seeing this, Ferguson, who was familiar with Li Lei's unapproachable personality, smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Ferran, who followed Ferguson's eyes and glanced at Li Lei with deep meaning, suddenly said to the old handsome: "Alex, what do you think of Tim (Howard)'s request?" ”

As soon as this question came up, Ferguson's smiling face instantly became solemn.

Looking at Li Lei's gaze, it also became deeper, full of deep meaning of exploration and thinking, as if he was making some very important but not easy choice in his mind.

Li Lei, who was having a pleasant conversation with Keane, did not know that his career had once again ushered in an important turning point.
