At the beginning of the game, regardless of the current strength of the two teams, the importance of the two sides to this game and the difference in mental will were reflected.

Compared to Chelsea, who have risen to prominence this season and are determined to prove their quality, Manchester United, who have long been desperate for nothing in the league, have much less spirit.

Despite the fact that with two league games remaining, the two teams are only four points separated, and United still have the theoretical impossibility of finishing second in the Premier League this season, not necessarily finishing third, and having to play a qualifying round to qualify for next season's Champions League (the previous information is incorrect), Ferguson has actually given up on that expectation.

First of all, in terms of schedule, even if Manchester United beat Chelsea at home in this round and stretched the gap between the two teams to only one point, Chelsea's last opponent in the Premier League this season is Leeds United, whose rival Manchester United has already confirmed to be relegated next season. So, in such a situation, it is very unlikely that they will finish in the final two rounds to overtake Chelsea in the table.

Secondly, in addition to this, compared to Chelsea, who have no desire this season, Manchester United still have the FA Cup final to play in the only title of the season, and intellectually speaking, they simply cannot devote themselves to this red and blue battle without scruples, and they must leave room mentally.

Because, once the Manchester United players go all out in this game against Chelsea, who are currently stronger than their own opponents, it will definitely make this game very intense, and in this way, the United players will have to risk taking cards and even sending off.

This is something Ferguson would never want to see as it would inevitably affect United's preparations for the FA Cup final. Even if the FA Cup is a bit of a frustration, it is still a precious title for Manchester United, who are currently at their lowest point in recent years.

In this regard, Lao Shuai is determined to win.

He wants to use this FA Cup trophy to cheer up Manchester United, who are now in their darkest days, and keep the spirit of their king's division, so that his next rebuilding of Manchester United can go smoothly.

It's a strategic plan for Manchester United for years to come, and he will never risk defeat because it has nothing to do with Chelsea.

This can be seen very obviously from the fact that he did not put Manchester United captain Keane in the squad for this game at all, and directly hid him.

In this regard, Ferguson showed his iron-faced selflessness, even ruthlessness, on the football side.

It's not that he didn't know what this game against Chelsea meant to Li Lei and how important it was, but he did it decisively without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation because of the personal friendship between him and Li Lei.

However, to Ferguson's relief, when he told Li Lei about his decision to strategically abandon the game, Li Lei did not have the slightest anger and dissatisfaction, and accepted it very lightly.

This made the old coach very relieved and happy, since the "flying shoegate" incident with Beckham, although the old coach still adheres to the usual strong iron mask style on the surface, but on the inside he has become a little sensitive to the relationship between him and his Manchester United players.

And this time Li Lei's response and reaction are undoubtedly the best for Lao Shuai, touching the sensitivity in his heart at all.

It's just that it can be clearly seen from this incident that the old man still doesn't know Li Lei well enough.

For Li Lei, who has been crawling in the slums since he was a child, there has never been a pie in the world, and the food is fed to his mouth, and what he wants, he has to fight, grab, and fight.

Other than that, there are no shortcuts.

So, from the bottom of his mind, he didn't have the idea of relying on Alex Ferguson and other Manchester United players to complete this game. In his heart, he is doing it all the time, and everything has to be prepared by himself.

It has become a habit and instinct for him.

Therefore, Ferguson's strategic abandonment of this game did not have any effect on him at all, except that it could stimulate Li Lei's fighting spirit and fighting instinct.

Knock Knock......

After the pre-match ceremony, Li Lei, who stood in front of his door, only the sound of his heart beating vigorously was left in his ears, and at this moment, the deafening singing and shouting of the fans on both sides could not enter his ears at all.

For him, this is the signal that the battle is about to begin, the clarion call of the battlefield!

Come on! Come on!!

At this time, although Li Lei seemed to be wiping his gloves calmly, drinking water, and jumping twice from time to time to warm up, making the final preparations before the game, in fact, the voice in his mind calling for the game and calling for the start of the battle had already sounded, rumbling like thunder!

However, although he can't wait to play against this Chelsea side in his first meeting, it was Manchester United who started the game first.

Although Ferguson had already informed all United players of his decision to strategically abandon the game before the game, it was absolutely impossible for the proud Manchester United players to surrender to Chelsea at home. They may be able to do Ferguson's instructions in some of the half-goal battles, but they won't mind teaching a good lesson at home to the Chelsea side who are currently sitting above them.

As in the league game against Arsenal not long ago, after Ryan Giggs was pushed by Alex Ferguson to play a shadow striker's number nine and a half position behind Ruud van Nistelrooy, he was very active as the attacking arrow on the left side of the game.

Just two minutes into the opening period, Cristiano Ronaldo's cross from the right flank made Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini break out in a cold sweat, triggering a burst of exclamation and applause from the Manchester United fans at the scene.

Since then, he has been out of control and has become the most active man in United's forward line. He repeatedly crossed, broke through with the ball, and even tried a direct free-kick from 17 metres from the Chelsea goal in the eighth minute of the first half.

Hey, little white face!

Ronaldo's scenery in the front court immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of Li Lei, who was empty and lonely and cold in the backcourt, or rather jealousy.

In terms of image, Ronaldo at this time is like a rich and handsome man surrounded by beautiful women, and Li Lei is the poor dick who has no girlfriend and can't even use the five-fingered girl for the time being.

Fortunately, Li Lei has never been a person who can only be passively fed, and taking the initiative is his style.

After the first 10 minutes, he slipped out of the penalty area in a lonely way, like a serpent in ambush, ready to strike a fatal blow at Chelsea.

The eyes are burning, but there is a cold murderous machine inside!

Mori Han is terrible!!
