Chapter 104: The Kiss of Death Before the Game
Since Li Lei's performance in Manchester United's first team has become more and more consistent, and he has repeatedly made god-level saves, he has rarely heard questions and criticisms of his strength from the outside world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the very least, from the perspective of Manchester United's second goalkeeper, who is still in his rookie season, he has won unanimous recognition from the outside world.
Regardless of how mainstream public opinion actually perceives him, Ferguson's move to suppress Butters and Carroll, and focus on cultivating him, which has caused a lot of controversy before, is now starting to slowly become a matter of course.
Especially after he made a scorpion tail swing save in the last league game, many Manchester United fans have begun to regard him as another legendary goalkeeper of Manchester United in the future.
Under such circumstances, although there are still few good words praising Li Lei in the mainstream media and newspapers, the criticism and controversy about him have focused on his unruly character and style of acting, and few people talk about his strength anymore.
Although Li Lei himself is still dissatisfied with his current level of strength, the outside world's comments and opinions on him are like this.
It's just that this time there was an accident, in the Liverpool players, the manager, and even the fans, Li Lei tasted the long-lost disdain and contempt, just like the unanimous opinion of the outside world about him at the beginning of the season.
Through his actual performance on the court, those who looked down on others at the beginning of the season now hate him, some still don't like him, and some have even reached a new height in Li Lei's life. Except for a few hard-mouthed ones, almost no one has expressed strong doubts about Li Lei's strength and future development potential.
Now, Li Lei also wants to do something like this with Liverpool. He wants to turn the disdain and contempt of these arrogant guys for him into hatred and anger, the kind of hatred and anger that wants to gnaw meat and drink blood, but is helpless.
He found it a very interesting and challenging thing, and such hatred and anger was something he enjoyed and enjoyed.
At this time, it was already late at night, but Li Lei did not fall asleep. He looked through the window at the downstairs of the hotel, which was empty except for security personnel and patrolling police cars, and there was not a single Liverpool fan.
Unlike Leeds United fans, none of the Liverpool fans tried to win the game by disrupting the United players' sleep.
For ordinary people, this approach of Liverpool fans is really lofty and upright, and the proper style of a giant, I am afraid that I will respect it in my heart.
But Li Lei will not be like this, he does not like such scenes.
Staring at the empty downstairs, a cold light full of deep meaning flashed in his eyes. He hopes that through tomorrow's game, when he leaves the city with the team, he will get the mad anger and hatred of the whole city against him.
So much so that they lose the arrogance of this wealthy family, and chase and surround him like a madman. At that time, he will be able to leave the city with a loud boo, angry scolding, and a good mood.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and the arc was as cold as an iron hook in a slaughterhouse.
I'm really looking forward to it! After finally returning to the bed and lying down, before finally closing his eyes and going to bed, Li Lei thought expectantly.
The next morning, the sky was even more gloomy, like a bitter and bitter face with a bitter and bitter face, and cold tears could fall at any moment.
It's a great weather with big war attributes!
Compared with other Manchester United players, although Li Lei slept late last night, he was the first to get up the next day, and he was still energetic and energetic.
When he came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, Ferguson, who looked tired because he had fallen asleep late at night because he was thinking about the tactical play of this game last night, saw him like this, and asked in some surprise: "Are you confident?" And don't forget our bet? ”
The old coach knew that Li Lei would officially use his goalkeeper style of play for the first time in this game, and Li Lei's unstressed and confident appearance made him scratch his head.
It would have been a risky attempt to play with a goalkeeper who was still under development in an official match, not to mention facing Liverpool, one of England's two red giants!
Although Liverpool still continue to play a dominant performance in the Premier League, Ferguson does not dare to relax for a moment against the team's worst enemy. In recent years, Arsenal may be Manchester United's strong rival for the Premier League, but in the old manager's heart, Liverpool still firmly occupies the top of the list of sworn enemies, and he knows the terrible background of this team.
It's been more than 10 years since the start of the Premier League, and Liverpool haven't won any of those titles, but their domestic stature and appeal in England have endured, and they are no weaker than Manchester United.
This alone has made Manchester United and Ferguson, who have won 8 Premier League titles, dare not underestimate this strong opponent.
United may have held Liverpool down in the Premier League for a long time, but that was not the case with the two in direct conversation, especially when the game was still taking place at Anfield.
It's a magical stadium for the whole Liverpool team, just as much or more than Old Trafford is to Manchester United.
In such a situation, it is really hard for Ferguson to imagine why Li Lei, who has the pressure of not making a mistake, is so confident, he can't do it, no matter how unafraid of tigers is a newborn calf, there must be a limit.
Ferguson, who knows Li Lei very well, will not believe that Li Lei really doesn't look down on Liverpool and Liverpool players at all, as he said in an interview before.
And that's exactly what happened.
Li Lei, who has already watched many videos of Liverpool's games before, will naturally not be really blind enough to ignore Owen and Gerrard and others. In what he said in the interview, there is also the truth, but the nature of anger and revenge is stronger.
However, despite the facts, it does not prevent Li Lei from really wanting to "beat" Owen and Gerrard like that in this game.
He doesn't care about the other games, at least in this game, he really wants to make Owen a fake Mr. Golden Ball, and Gerrard a complete disappointment and loser.
Of course, this is very difficult, but it can also make Li Lei, who has a lot of gambling and loves challenges, fierce and enthusiastic.
Faced with Ferguson's question, he first took a bite of the bread in his hand, chewed it a few times quickly, and then said to Ferguson with a flying expression: "No, I only think about defeating them!" Humiliate them!! I don't think about anything else. ”
The implication of this is that he has ignored any difficulties and risks, and only the boiling war spirit remains.
At this moment, Li Lei's blazing and hot gaze made Ferguson feel a little dazzling, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be surprised.
When the whole United team walked out of the hotel and stepped on the team bus, they were greeted not by the malicious Liverpool fans, but by the die-hard Manchester United fans who had followed the team.
Even after the Heathborough tragedy, the hard-line style of Liverpool fans has been greatly curtailed, and these die-hard Manchester United fans can be called tough guys who are not afraid of things.
"Ruud [Vanney]! them!! Fuck Liverpool! ”
"Roy, scared those female cousins who raised it!"
"Ryan, we're going to make it 3:0! 3:0!! ”
......
In the midst of these frenzied cheers, the current Li Lei has reached the point where he has a cheer that belongs to him alone.
"Lee! Give that fake Mr. Golden Ball a good look!! ”
"Lee, humiliate them! I'm going to see you humiliate them!! ”
"Don't forget what you did in Highbury, give them a set too!"
......
Well, this can be regarded as similar to Li Lei's smell. It can be seen that most of the Manchester United fans who like him are those who are not afraid of big things. Among Manchester United fans, although these people are not the rudest, they are definitely the freshest, the most maverick, just like Li Lei's style of acting, the easiest to offend people.
Before Li Lei, even if he didn't like Owen anymore, I am afraid that no Manchester United player or fan openly called England's golden boy a fake Mr. Golden Ball.
Such people are the most likely to cause trouble, find trouble, and be disliked by others. But Li Lei is not like this, especially when these people are still their own fans. Before getting on the bus, he deliberately gave them a cold thumbs up to show that he had heard.
After causing his small group of fans to scream with excitement, he strode onto the bus, and the boiling battle spirit on his body was about to be irrepressible.
When Manchester United's bus drove into the parking lot of Anfield Stadium escorted by police cars, Li Lei and his team were greeted by Liverpool fans along the way. Now, they don't need to maintain the backbone of a big club and can show their dislike of Manchester United with impunity.
Slapping the Manchester United bus, middle fingers, boos, name-calling...... And so on, none of these behaviors are missing. In addition, Li Lei even saw a Liverpool fan who showed his yin in front of the bus and looked hideous and disdainful.
At the same time, he also saw a number of security personnel on the way who were holding alcohol detectors to test fans from both sides who were about to enter the stadium. Some of them were found to have too high alcohol content, and they didn't stop giving any explanation, and they were immediately taken away.
This shows how strict the security of this game is.
This kind of serious but chaotic and noisy scene and atmosphere before the war made Li Lei enjoy it extraordinarily. At this time, he even had an illusion, and after taking a deep breath, he only felt that it was full of the pungent smell of gunpowder.
The pungent smell made him almost excited.
But this is just the beginning, if he can still control himself in front of him at this time, then when he followed the whole team into the stadium to start the pre-game warm-up, when he heard those boos and insults against him occupy his ears in an instant, he could no longer control it and let go completely.
I don't know if I deliberately want to give Li Lei, a big-mouthed rookie, a dismount, or if I really look forward to this game, in short, when the whole Manchester United team started to warm up, there were obviously many more Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands than usual.
"You shit yellow-skinned monkey! You're nothing!! ”
"That's right, you're nothing fucking !!"
"Shh!!h
......
Facing the boos and abuses in the sky, Li Lei, who had just walked into the court, was obviously a little stunned at first. But soon, he came to his senses.
He stopped on the sidelines and began to turn slowly in place, looking around at the already many Liverpool fans in the stands, listening to their angry scolding and boosing him, looking at their densely raised middle fingers, expressionless.
However, after he finished spinning in place, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved, revealing his trademark disdainful sneer.
Then, I saw him suddenly raise his right hand and put it on his lips, and then threw it into the stands around him, and he sent a big flying kiss to these Liverpool fans.
Looking at Li Lei's disdainful sneer, Liverpool fans naturally regarded this as Li Lei's mockery of them, so their boos and angry scolding decibels immediately rose to another level.
Although there were enough people, it was enough to make Li Lei's eardrums, who were close to him, feel a slight tingling.
That's nice! Savoring this small sting, the corners of Li Lei's mouth couldn't help but grin, and his pale and cold teeth were revealed in his sneer.
Only he knew that his flying kiss just now was not a provocation, but a sincere farewell.
These boos, these insults, these middle fingers, thank you so much!
You bastards!!
And then—
You will send me to hell!!
Hmmm~!!
It's the kiss of death!!!
