Chapter 337
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Scored! Finally scored!! In the 41st minute of the first half, Portugal's talented youngster, Manchester United's new No.7, finally helped Manchester United break the deadlock first. From a corner, he beat the elder Danny Wise and scored Millwall's goal with a beautiful powerful header! Oh my God, it's finally a goal. It was definitely a lethargic first half and Millwall didn't have any attacking intentions and they didn't have a shot on goal so far throughout the first half. However, the second half was different, and while they would still be afraid of United's attacking firepower, the deficit left them with no room to hold on if they still wanted the FA Cup. This game finally has something to watch, finally! ......”
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal not only ignited Lineker's passion and brought him back to life from the lethargic first half, but also detonated the passion of the entire Millennium Stadium!
Before that, they were all nervous, and every time a Manchester United player complained to referee Winter after being fouled by a Millwall player, the Blue Lions of Millwall, who would boo and laugh mockingly, finally fell silent at this moment.
Rumble!!!
Half of the red wall of the Millennium Stadium finally ushered in the boiling moment, and the loud sound created by the Red Devils fans filled every corner of the stadium!
However, among them, the most excited and crazy one was obviously Li Lei, who stayed in the backfield.
After raising his hands and laughing wildly for a while, this obviously could not completely vent the frustration that Li Lei squeezed the entire first half. After that, he directly couldn't bear to be excited, and came to an impromptu boxing performance on the doorpost of his own door.
His celebratory gesture caused an immediate repercussion among Manchester United fans when it was projected onto the big screen by the on-site cameras. Many United fans behind his gate picked up his movements and celebrated in a dashing back-to-back boxing into the air.
Li Lei and the Manchester United fans were happy at this time, but their boxing celebration obviously made the Millwall players very unhappy.
Although Li Lei himself actually did not mean to humiliate Millwall, this kind of boxing action was more just for him to vent his inner frustration, but because the team lost the ball at the moment of extremely low and sensitive Millwall fans obviously did not think so, they just thought that Li Lei was taking the opportunity to provoke them, a kind of obviously excessive persecution psychology.
"Shh!!h
Without anyone organizing, the Millwall fans, who had just fallen silent, were immediately resurrected with anger, and their shrill boos and angry scolding suddenly formed a parallel with the deafening cheers of the Manchester United fans that had not yet subsided.
However, no matter how loud they made a fuss, because Li Lei's position was in front of the Manchester United fans' stands at this time, he didn't know that the boos and angry scolding of the Millwall fans at this time were aimed at him, just because they were unhappy with Manchester United's goal and wanton celebration.
If Millwall fans knew about their angry performance, they would be ignored by Li Lei like this, and I am afraid that many people will be stunned on the spot.
It's just that no matter how they do at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to attract Li Lei's attention. Because, at this time, all that was left in his mind was Danny Wise.
Wait, old fellow! This is just the beginning of the competition!
After venting his frustration with a powerful boxing action and barely calming down, Li Lei immediately looked at the figure of Danny Wise in front with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, although his eyesight could barely see a figure wearing the No. 13 Millwall jersey, and he couldn't see Danny Wise's face at all.
At the same time, he also squeezed his fists with both hands, broke his fingers, and made a crisp and terrifying bone sound.
At this time, Danny Wise didn't know that Li Lei in the backcourt had begun to think about how to teach him a lesson, but was doing his duty as a manager of Millwall, and was appeasing the low mood and morale of the Millwall players at this time.
After a hard stay on the pitch for almost a whole time, it was inevitable that no player would be indifferent at the end of the pitch and score a goal.
Even Danny Wise, who is still pretending to be calm at the moment, is also regretting and annoyed by this goal, or he should be the most depressed in the Millwall team at this time, after all, strictly speaking, he is the direct person in charge of this goal, and it is his failure to look at Ronaldo that led to the goal conceded, although no one will blame the 38-year-old for not looking at Ronaldo, who is only 19 years old and is in the age of youth without limits.
But he knows that now is not the time for chagrin and remorse, the danger has not passed, and the whole team must be cheered up as soon as possible.
This penalty may have been extremely unfavorable for Millwall, in a very unfavorable situation, but it was far from the point of despair that could only surrender the gun and surrender.
However, if the whole team does not pick themselves up as soon as possible, and if the newly scored, morale-boosting Manchester United seize the opportunity to score another goal in the few minutes remaining in the first half, even the unruly will have to admit that the FA Cup trophy is completely out of the way with Millwall.
Therefore, as long as you still want to keep the thought of this championship trophy and want to compete for this championship, you must cheer up as soon as possible. Otherwise, he believes that Manchester United, who have many experienced veterans, will definitely not miss this opportunity.
"Cheer up! Pull yourself together!! Guys, just one goal behind, one goal behind! We're far from despairing, we have to hold on to the last minute of the first half, at least survive the first half, in that case, we still have to fight in the second half! Did you hear that?! Some fight!! Think about what I told you before the game, think about it, guys! ......”
Referee Winter didn't give him much time to boost the morale of the Millwall players and the game soon resumed. And the situation was indeed as he expected, after the restart of the game, Manchester United, who had just scored a goal, immediately launched another wave of fierce attacks on Millwall's defence, or more accurately than before, the intention to eat Millwall in one bite was clear.
Thankfully for Millwall, Danny Wise's prestige and authority within their team is high enough. So, despite the lack of time, Danny Wise's words played a big role in adjusting the mood of the Millwall players.
Although it did not let the impact of Ronaldo's goal disappear immediately in their hearts, it at least cheered them up and re-engaged in the game, and they were not too involved in this conceded goal.
It was for this reason that they relied on hard work and routine small actions to withstand Manchester United's onslaught in the final stages of the first half, and narrowly controlled the score by a thrilling goal, and successfully brought the score 1-0 into the second half.
After Winter blew the final whistle for the first half, Danny Wise immediately let go of his hands that were still holding Scholes's waist, ignoring Scholes's annoyed gaze, and directly relaxed and relieved, Manchester United's powerful attack wave just now was a huge burden on his 38-year-old sweeping midfielder.
However, just as Danny Wise was relaxing, he didn't notice that a pair of eyes from the distant backcourt were fixed on him.
It's like a hungry beast staring at its prey.
Horrifying!
Mori Han!!
Murderous !!
