Remember in a second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

"This is United's chance! Oh! Keane's beautiful long pass, Scholes got the ball! Wonderful transfer, Saha! Pass, Vanney chance! Shot!! Oh, a little bit! The Dutchman's powerful shot from inside the box went just wide of the post and missed a good chance to break the deadlock for United. However, we can see from this attack that as Manchester City continue to strengthen the formula, the huge gap behind them is also being exploited by Manchester United. City's attacking line needs to hurry, and if United take the lead ahead of them, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to them who have dominated the game all the time......

Regarding the commentator's comments, Manchester City coach Keegan on the sidelines apparently thought the same. After Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot went wide of the goal, he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately rushed to the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction with the Manchester City backline.

Clearly, he was unhappy that the City defenders had so easily allowed United to play a threatening counter-attack and not make a tactical foul in time: "Bose! What the hell are you doing?! Do?!! Are you all stupid?! Why not foul?! Why?!! ......”

But to be honest, although there is a problem of whether Manchester City's defenders have timely tactical fouls in this defense, it is only a small part. Keane, Scholes and others are all world-class stars who have long been famous, and naturally they don't know how to avoid the opponent's tactical fouls in defense. So it's not that they don't want to do it, it's just that they didn't find a chance in the quick moments of United's counter-attack.

Judging from the reality of the situation, this is not a surprising thing, it is determined by objective reality, and it is not worth such a fury from Keegan at all.

And the reason why Keegan is so anxious is not actually here, but at this time, he is really anxious in the face of Manchester City's long-term inability to attack. As for City's defenders, it was just bad luck to hit him on the muzzle.

In this regard, the experienced Ferguson on the side can be said to be insightful.

It's still too tender!

The old man turned his head and looked at the field with a smug smile. Although the tired Manchester United players on the pitch were still unable to overwhelm the Manchester City players in the overall situation, the experienced man was already keenly aware that the balance of victory had begun to tip in his favor and that of Manchester United.

Of course, this is just a trend. In the end, whether it can be converted into actual victory, this is also whether the Manchester United defense represented by Li Lei on the field can continue to stubbornly resist Manchester City's offensive before the attack line achieves results.

Not to mention what the other players in Manchester United's defense line think, Li Lei, who guards the gate of Manchester United, is full of confidence in this regard. It's not that it's unfounded, but he really does feel that the sharpest knife in the Manchester City front line is about to fall into his hands.

After seeing that Vanney missed the opportunity in the backcourt, Li Lei, who was standing waiting for the bus, only regretted it for a while, sighed, and completely adjusted his emotions, and did not make some fierce regretful movements like Brown and others.

Then he turned his gaze to Anelka, who was not far from the outside of the penalty area, and his eyes burned like a hungry wolf staring at a lamb.

The reason why Manchester City's attack will put so much pressure on Li Lei today is of course due to the poor form of other Manchester United players, but the main reason is Anelka, who suddenly became "unselfish". It's easy to hold down an Anelka, but it's difficult to defend when he gets the other City players in the way, and that's no different for Lee and United.

Therefore, as long as Anelka can be selfish again, Manchester City's offensive firepower can be cut off in an instant.

And this is exactly the plan that Li Lei has been thinking about in his heart at this moment. And he could feel that he was very close to doing this, just a little, just a little.

For this, it is useless to rely on his own efforts, and it will take time.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot in front of him did not give the City players any intention of backing down, but instead provoked their ferocity. We're going to be the first to score ahead of Manchester United! Certain!! Their clear advantage over Manchester United throughout the game has given them the confidence and confidence to think like that.

But obviously, with the foundation of Manchester City's current squad, such confidence and confidence are beyond their control.

Put this kind of confidence and confidence on Arsenal or Chelsea this season, and these two teams may be able to control the situation well and slowly wear down the incomplete Manchester United team on the field, full of injuries and lack of major generals. But when it comes to Manchester City, what is reflected in them is the overly impatient and frivolous performance of squandering opportunities.

This was especially evident after 70 minutes into the second half, and this time was no exception.

It was supposed to be a chance for United to counter-attack, but Keane's mistake gave City a golden opportunity to wreak havoc on the Reds. At this time, Manchester United's formation is just about to press forward as a whole, and the originally tight back line naturally exposes many obvious attacking gaps in front of Manchester City's attacking players.

Although after Keane conceded the goal, Giggs and Scholes and others immediately rebounded, and Gary Neville and Brown, who were already about to press out of the penalty area, also reacted immediately and returned to the penalty area, but after all, it was a step too slow.

When Wright's pass was to Anelka, who was suddenly pulled out of the box, and then Anelka kept the ball in time for Brown's block, and returned the ball directly to his route into the United penalty area at high speed, the United defence was instantly broken.

Truth be told, this time Anelka's handling of the ball is still very "selfless". Due to the panic of the Manchester United defense at this time, Anelka did not have the interference of Manchester United players near him when he received the ball from Wright Jr., so in terms of his ability, he was completely able to shoot and pass, and there was a double choice.

In the end, he opted for a pass, which created a great opportunity for Wright Jr., who was inserted into the United penalty area.

But compared to a direct shot, because Li Lei had sealed the near corner tightly at this time, when he received a pass from Anelka, Little Wright, whose shooting angle was too small, obviously passed the football to the feet of Wanchope, who was already in the middle of the goal at this time, which was a greater threat to Li Lei.

It's a pity that his final approach was too impatient.

Maybe he wanted to be the hero of Manchester United in the hearts of Manchester City fans, or maybe his mentality was affected by the overall impatience of Manchester City players, anyway, in the end, he chose to face Li Lei's direct and powerful volley at a small angle.

In such a situation, a volley with a low quality kick and a little bit of power is not difficult for Li Lei at all. In the near corner, after blocking Wright's shot with both palms, Li Lei immediately pounced forward quickly, firmly holding the football in his arms, and did not give Anelka, who was already standing in front of him with both feet, any chance to make up the shot.

After hugging the ball and standing up, looking at Anelka, who seemed to be calm, but was brewing irritability and anger, Li Lei immediately showed him a provocative smile and said, "Hey, I said, you should come by yourself." Your teammates will only waste your passes, they simply don't you are at the same level, are you? ”

This is an obvious subplot that is close to a red fruit to sow discord.

"Humph!"

Anelka, of course, saw it, and he didn't seem to be fooled, but after a cold snort, he walked away with a black face.

But behind him, the smug smile on the corner of Li Lei's mouth, who was looking at his back, completely rippled.

He knew the time had come! Next, he just needs to give one more nudge, nudge, and there you go.

In an instant, his gaze staring at Anelka's back became eerie.

Cold!

Mysterious again!!
