Chapter 36: Daily Life on the First Day After the Race
Although it was a pity that reporters and the media did not see Li Lei in the Community Shield, and therefore missed a good opportunity to attack Ferguson, the high news value of the Community Shield was still a good relief to their disappointed hearts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, the most important part of the report was naturally the exciting, unique penalty shoot-out. Judging by the result of the penalty shootout, 3:0, this is really not a score that can make people feel tense and intense. If you only report from this aspect, the only thing that reporters can write about is that the Arsenal players are so substandard in front of Li Lei, and Li Lei, a rookie, is so sudden and staged a surprise attack.
If this is the case, the reporters may not be so enthusiastic about this penalty shootout, but who made Li Lei simply stand out in this process, bold and out of the limelight.
The middle finger of the Arsenal fans, the throat-cutting of Vieira, the psychological warfare against Pire, and the final word on Van Bronckhorst, any of these things alone deserve to be written about by journalists. What's more, Li Lei also did it all over in this game.
Especially the last three events that happened in the penalty shootout, countless well-informed reporters watched it, and they all felt that it was an eye-opening effect and extremely sensational novelty.
Under such circumstances, Li Lei, a rookie, naturally became the front page headlines of the major media in England the next day, and this kind of heat is even deeper and wider than the last time he was collectively ridiculed by the media. For a while, the players on both sides of Arsenal and Manchester United, including Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, became the background board of Li Lei's little rookie, and even the Community Shield game itself.
If someone opens the reports of major newspapers and reads them in detail, they can find that the process and result of this Community Shield, and even the key play of Li Lei's two penalty kicks have all been written in the pen.
They know how to stimulate the attention of fans, and they wisely put the most pen and ink on describing the grievances and fighting methods between Li Lei and Arsenal fans, describing how he humiliated Vieira, interfered with Pire, and described his unruly character and style.
So much so that the first impression of Li Lei that comes to the minds of everyone who sees the content of the report is not that he was ordered to ride the Savior alone in a brilliant performance, but that he has eye-catching colorful hair, arrogant style, and personality that must be retribution.
Although the content of such a report is very vigorous, and it is also very suitable for the nature of human beings who like to watch lively, it will be an excellent boost to the sales of newspapers, but for Li Lei himself, it is not such a good thing.
Although the increase in newspaper sales has greatly expanded Li Lei's fame, this fame is not the fame of goalkeeper Li Lei, but a fame similar to that of a reality TV star, which has nothing to do with football and Li Lei's football strength.
It's the same as David Beckham's famous face, where the outside world focuses more on his handsome face than on his true footballing prowess. In such a reversal of priorities, Beckham's recognition as a footballer will naturally suffer, and it will be a bad influence on the low side.
Li Lei's situation at this time is similar to this situation. If you are a fan who has actually watched his penalty shoot-out performance, you may still have a good impression of his strength and performance. After all, as a rookie goalkeeper who made his career debut, it can be regarded as a miracle to be able to put on such an amazing performance in the penalty shootout.
But more, fans who haven't watched the game, but just read the newspaper to learn about the Community Shield, a game of a less important nature, I'm afraid they won't have such a good impression of Li Lei. Because they were misled by the content of the media reports, their impression of Li Lei is probably just a bad boy who has reached a new height, and a meteor who has just been hyped up for a while.
Of course, it can't be said that there are no benefits, at least like Li Lei, who is a tyrant and maverick, and his cold personality is still very popular with young boys and girls who are in the rebellious period. To a certain extent, the commercial value of Li Lei's penniless began to rise slowly because of this.
Just this benefit could not offset the anger of Ferguson, who read the content of the major newspaper reports the next morning. Looking at the newspapers about Li Lei's "bad boy", "unruly", "arrogant and rude", "carried away" and other descriptive words, the grumpy old Scottish man got angry at the breakfast table and slapped the newspapers on the table with a bang.
Ferguson, who has been immersed in football for decades, naturally will not fail to see the harm of this kind of report to Li Lei's career, which makes him endure Li Lei, who already regards Li Lei as his junior and is pleased and happy about his performance yesterday.
Looking at Li Lei, who was heartless and still enjoying breakfast comfortably, he immediately reprimanded Li Lei with hatred: "Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat." Don't you know how much damage these stories can do to your career? How will the outside world's perception and evaluation of you be affected by this? ”
For these twists and turns, Li Lei is actually very clear, and he is very clear. He had already figured out these things about credibility and reputation when he was living in the slums.
Don't look at the black is not the right way, but in these ways, it is very credible, not worse than other professions, maybe even higher. Because, only with credibility, will someone be willing to be your little brother, and there will be security if you follow you, which is a stable and long-term solution.
If you don't have credibility, have a very bad reputation, and don't talk about credibility, even if you have great power for a while, it won't last long, and sooner or later something will happen, and the end will be extremely miserable. is such a boss, Li Lei has seen in the slums I don't know how much, often only for a few months, at most a year, and then suddenly disappeared, I don't know where he was buried.
Although this is not the same thing as credibility and reputation in football, the principle is the same. But why did Li Lei ignore this and be very cold? The reason is simple, he doesn't care about his reputation as a football player.
He only cares about money, as long as it doesn't affect his money, he doesn't care what the outside world says about him. Of course, if he provokes the people he cares about, such as Li Xin'er, Ferguson, etc., it is a special situation.
Will these media reports affect his money? He didn't think so.
The reason is simple, first, his salary is from Manchester United. As long as Ferguson and Manchester United's senior management realize his true value and strength, he believes that with Manchester United's economic strength, his relationship with Ferguson, no matter how unbearable the outside world's reports about him are, he will not use his small salary as a goalkeeper.
Second, he didn't know much about the commercial operation of the player's image. But there is one thing, he is still clear. Only with enough fame will the player itself have enough commercial value. So to a certain extent, Li Lei is happy to see the reports of these newspapers. Anyway, as long as it's not a **** domestic violence that violates the reputation of social morality, it's fine.
It is precisely because of this that he behaves so indifferently at this moment, as if he is not described in the newspaper.
At this time, if it weren't for the fact that Ferguson was really angry about this, he would probably have kept not saying a word, and wanted to have a delicious breakfast with peace of mind.
He looked at Li Xin'er, who had been staring at him, and then at Ferguson, who was making a fuss for himself, before he finally spoke, and said indifferently: "Could it be that if they say these words, will it affect my salary?" I won't take less money because of that. ”
Well, it's okay if he doesn't say this, but as soon as he says it, he almost makes Ferguson unable to breathe out and chokes on his breath. Facing Li Lei, an uneducated rookie who only recognizes money, Ferguson felt that if he didn't discipline him well, a little Red Devil sapling would be completely crooked.
So, after Ferguson's breath came out, his high-pitched roar resounded over Ferguson's house again, and it never stopped. But Li Lei is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he restarts his unfinished breakfast business with peace of mind.
Seeing this, Cathy and Li Xin'er on the side glanced at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly, with a look of "these men" on their faces.
Just as the breakfast at Ferguson's house was lively, public opinion about Li Lei was also in full swing. Not only in the streets and alleys of England, but also on major football forums and websites, the name Li Lei has become the most lively one.
It is no exaggeration to say that at least at this moment, the appearance rate of the name Li Lei is simply higher than that of the British Prime Minister.
Of course, thanks to media coverage and hype. In these heated discussions about Li Lei, in addition to his wonderful performance in the penalty shootout, his talent and development in football, and everything related to football, his eye-catching appearance, controversial celebrations, and unruly words and deeds are the focus of heated discussions.
Perhaps, as Ferguson said, such fame and popularity for a young player is never a good thing. But for any young person who is full of youth and has excessive hormone secretion, who doesn't want to be in the limelight like Li Lei.
As for whether this limelight is good or not, I'm afraid this is not a question they care about.
For example, in his apartment at this time, Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the big photo of Li Lei cutting his throat Vieira in the newspaper with envy and jealousy.
I'm Manchester United's new No.7, the most showy and the most concerned by the outside world, not the rookie goalkeeper. Hum!
The young Portuguese phenom looked at his own Manchester United No.7 shirt hanging on the bedroom wall with a reluctant expression, and the resentment on his body literally broke through the sky.
Although I don't know if Li Lei sneezes very old-fashioned at this moment, at least one thing is certain.
He has been thoroughly disliked by someone.
Since then, the history of the grievances and entanglements between the two legends of Manchester United in the future has begun.
At that time, they were all just young people.
