Chapter 300

"Hello everyone, this is Lineker."

"This is Alan Hansen."

......

There was another double-red showdown, and the BBC once again sent its own pair of ace commentators. This season, with Lineker's optimism on Li Lei, the commentary leaning has inevitably tilted in favor of Manchester United, and the sparks that collided between him and his partner Alan Hansen while commentating on Manchester United began to become more intense.

Through that hair-cutting bet and the constant exchange of words and tongues, the attention of fans in England and around the world to the commentary partner has increased significantly compared to the past. As a result, the ratings of the games they commented on this season have improved significantly compared to the previous season, or in the past. This is especially true when they are commenting on a game featuring Manchester United.

Under such circumstances, the BBC will naturally not let them miss out on this round of the Premier League's focus match. Considering that Alan Hansen himself is a famous KOP of Liverpool, they are still expecting him and Lineker to come up with some hot phrases when commentating on the game to attract the attention of fans.

The BBC's management was undoubtedly a success, and before the game even began, Lineker and Alan Hansen couldn't help but have a heated exchange of words.

"Although Manchester United and Liverpool are currently three or four places in the Premier League table, given the double-digit margin between the two sides, the outcome of this red derby doesn't really make a difference. Perhaps the only thing that will allow both sides to give their best in this game is the vendettas, hatred and rivalry between the two greatest teams in the history of English football. Lineker was the first to speak.

"Yes, it does. I know Liverpool and all the grievances between this great team and Manchester United. For Liverpool, no matter what time or occasion, the game against Manchester United is always special and must not be lost. When I was a player, losing the game against Manchester United was enough to frustrate everyone at the club, the management, the players and the fans. Of course, on the flip side, if you win, you can party for a month. ”

Alan Hansen took it expertly and said as he shook his head and closed his eyes with a smile on his lips, as if he were still basking in the glory of his past when he and Liverpool won Manchester United together.

Seeing this, Lineker couldn't help but raise his eyebrows frivolously, seeing that this partner was so proud, he took the lead in starting the battle: "Alain, I don't want to ask you which team you like in this game and which side you hope to win, because the answer is yes, there is no doubt." Now I want to talk to you about another thing, what do you think about the issue that has been talked about by the media and fans lately? ”

"What about Manchester United's No.13 Asian goalkeeper coming to the England national team?" At the sight of the familiar evil smile on Lineker's face, Alan Hansen immediately came back to his senses.

"That's right."

After receiving Lineker's affirmative answer, Alan Hansen did not answer immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought, which is not an easy question to ask.

From Alan Hansen's personal point of view, he certainly doesn't want Li Lei to be in the national team. But this must not be said, compared with the current national team's first and second goalkeepers - James and Robinson, Li Lei's performance this season is obvious to all to be better. Despite the flaws of not having enough appearances, no one can deny it.

Therefore, in terms of strength, he can't find any reason to oppose Li Lei's entry into the England national team, at least for now.

In addition, as long as Alan Hansen is not stupid, he will not use the reason for Li Lei's skin color as a reason for opposition. So, Alan Hansen will certainly not say this reason, although this is the reason why most of the fans who oppose Lee Lei's entry into the England national team are clamoring - the great England national team does not need an Asian (yellow) to redeem.

In the end, Alan Hansen didn't come up with any strong enough arguments, and finally had to use what seems to be the most plausible and publicly voiced opponent: "I don't really like him personally, but Lee is a good goalkeeper, there's no doubt about it." It's just that he's still too young and lacks enough game experience, and I don't think it's the best time for him to enter the national team, at least on a big stage like this European Championship. In addition, his style of play is too bold, and it is not appropriate to call him up to the national team before the European Championship without any training and competition with the national team. ”

Although these reasons seem like prevarications, they really make people unable to say anything to refute them, and they are simply typical tepid official statements.

But Lineker was clearly prepared, and immediately replied-for-tat: "No one will let Lee enter the national team and immediately compete for the starting main position." Even me, from the perspective of a big fan of Lee, is absolutely unlikely. It's too early for Lee to compete with James and Robinson for a spot on the national team, even though he's been much better than them this season. However, not to mention the first and second goalkeepers, what about the third goalkeeper, Alain, do you really think that Robert Gree, the main goalkeeper of the Norwich City team, is more suitable than Lee? ”

As soon as these words came out, Alan Hansen was immediately dumbfounded and speechless.

The No. 1 and No. 2 goalkeepers don't talk about it, but the No. 3 goalkeeper, who will never be able to play without an accident, belongs to the position of the firefighting teammate among the firefighters? How can this position be excused by any inexperienced reason, is Li Lei, who is currently the main goalkeeper of Manchester United, not as good as the goalkeeper of a Championship team?

Those who can say such things are brainless fools, and Alan Hansen is naturally not a fool, and he doesn't want to be a fool, so he shut up.

But Lineker, who obviously managed to gain the upper hand, would not let him go, and continued to pursue: "So, Alain, do you still think that Lee is not suitable for the national team at the moment to participate in the European Championship in Portugal?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the position of the number three goalkeeper?"

"......, you bastard playing with me."

Lineker, who was on the side, ignored his partner's resentful little eyes, and grabbed this point and died. On the one hand, he is indeed deliberately teasing Alan Hansen, but on the other hand, he is using this to build momentum for Li Lei's entry into the England national team, and it is also a powerful response to the voices that oppose Li Lei in the outside world.

As a loyal fan of Li Lei, Lineker, who knows what the current goalkeepers of the England national team are, naturally hopes that Li Lei can enter the England national team, so that the goalkeeper problem that has plagued the England team for a long time can be solved. Even if there is no chance to play at the moment, pull people in and talk about it, so as not to be pulled away by other national teams.

Moreover, this is that Li Lei's current qualifications are really shallow, otherwise, Lineker would not just be shouting for Li Lei for the position of the No. 3 goalkeeper of the national team, but directly put him on the throne of England's main goalkeeper.

In addition, Lineker is not the only one who wants to help Li Lei.

At this time, in the Manchester United dressing room, after Ferguson finished his pre-match speech, Keane grabbed Li Lei's shoulder and said: "Boy, come on!" Don't pay attention to the shit that only looks at the color of your skin, we all support you to get into the England national team and will help you. ”

Facing Keane's fist, Li Lei, well, was stunned without hesitation.

Brother, what are you talking about?

Why can't I understand anything?!
