Old Trafford home dressing room, before entry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Ferguson had already finished talking about the pre-game tactical arrangement, and the Manchester United players who started the game had also walked out of the dressing room one after another, only Li Lei was deliberately kept by Ferguson.

Ferguson glanced at Li Lei's tall body, smiled with satisfaction and satisfaction, and asked, "How can you still have the confidence to fight dogs?" ”

Li Lei immediately understood that Ferguson was asking, from the starting lineup of this game, the difficulty of him wanting to beat the dog naturally increased a lot, but he was still full of confidence, and answered decisively without hesitation: "Of course!" ”

"That's good, let's go!" Ferguson smiled even more satisfied.

Contempt for the opponent strategically and attach importance to the opponent tactically, Li Lei may not know this famous military saying, but he is doing exactly it at the moment.

Although he answered Ferguson very confidently and resolutely, when he walked into the players' tunnel and lined up to enter, his heart had already calmed down, and his mind began to think about all aspects of the game.

Among them, his first thought is the layout of the back line in this game. Although it was the first leg of a League Cup semi-final, it was clearly not as important as the Premier League in Ferguson's mind. At a time when Manchester United's momentum in the Premier League is sluggish, he will not be able to release the current combination of Manchester United's starting main centre-backs in this game, which Li Lei had anticipated before the game.

Coupled with Rio Ferdinand's ban, Manchester United suddenly had a centre-back crisis, so it was no surprise that even Ferguson unexpectedly brought in two youth centre-backs to start in this game.

Unlike the outside world, who has already received Manchester United's starting list at this time and doubts Manchester United's two starting central defenders, Li Lei does not feel very inappropriate, but vaguely feels that this may be a choice and combination that can surprise everyone.

It's not that he has unwarranted self-confidence, but over the course of almost two months, he's become very familiar with the two centre-backs for Manchester United's youth team, who have been his main partners in training the goalkeeper's style of play during this time.

First of all, since these two can occupy the main position in the Manchester United youth team for a long time, their basic qualities must not be said, what they lack is only experience and training. And Li Lei believes that with the tacit understanding he has cultivated with them in the previous period, he can make up for the mistakes and loopholes they made due to these shortcomings on the court to a certain extent.

He is confident in this.

Besides, the two of them starting the game are not all beneficial to Li Lei. Facing an opponent who is neither strong nor weak, plus two central defenders who have been practicing goalkeeper play with him for a while, isn't this just the perfect time for Li Lei to test the results of his goalkeeper training during this time.

This temporary combination may not be enough in front of Arsenal's level of super firepower, but it is different for Myburgh, who has a single style of play and mediocre strength.

At this time, Li Lei had a faint feeling in his heart that these two youth team central defenders may bring him some unnecessary trouble in the upcoming game, but they will bring more benefits, especially in the way the goalkeeper plays.

So, in general, he didn't have much objection to the two young team centre-backs who were temporarily transferred, but he was slightly welcoming.

In addition to them, Phil Neville and Fletcher will play at the remaining right and left wing-backs. These two Li Lei had been familiar with each other before, and their strength was more than wrong when dealing with an opponent of Myburgh's level.

At this moment, when everyone in the outside world is questioning this back four, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that the last line of Manchester United's defense line standing behind these four would be satisfied and relieved by the four of them, after all, in their eyes, this back line is the tasty lamb sent to Myburgh's mouth, and it is their biggest reliance on the upset at the great Old Trafford.

After thinking about the back line, Li Lei just casually went through the midfield configuration of Manchester United in this game and put his mind at ease.

Although unlike Manchester United's selective rotation, Myburgh, who has no outstanding accolades in the entire club's history, will definitely play his best in the first leg of this rare League Cup semi-final, showing a completely different attitude from Manchester United, but even so, Li Lei is confident, even if Manchester United's leftovers are enough to compete with Myburgh's all-main lineup, even if they can't gain the upper hand, they will never be overwhelmed.

In this way, in the eyes of the outside world, this all-substitute lineup that Manchester United does not respect and attaches importance to the League Cup has become a configuration that can compete with the main team Myburgh in Li Lei's eyes.

If the outside world knew such a point of view in Li Lei's heart at this moment, they might laugh off their big teeth and ridicule Li Lei's arrogance and arrogance, but he did think like this, and he was very confident in his own opinion.

After thinking about this, the players from both sides lined up in the player tunnel also began to enter the field under the leadership of the referee team in this game. Listening to the deafening and magnificent singing of Manchester United fans at the entrance, Li Lei, who was at the end of the queue, immediately couldn't wait to get up, I want to fight the dog!

At this moment, Li Lei's mood of wanting to fight, wanting to defeat Myburgh, and wanting to humiliate McLaren was a little unbearable, but after entering, the scene in the west stand of Old Trafford Stadium poured a bucket of oil on the fire of fighting intent that was burning in his chest, making it instantly turn into a skyrocketing fire!

He saw a crowd of United fans wearing wigs identical to his bizarre colourful hairstyles, and a huge banner being hung.

On this huge banner, the phrase is clearly visible, "Lee, we are proud of you!" In our hearts, you are the most special one among the goalkeepers!! ”

When the DJ on the scene announced Li Lei's name, they raised their fists in the stands and shouted loudly, and with the other hand, they were afraid of hitting the huge banner that he hung up.

Among the 80,000 Manchester United fans at the scene, the number of this small group of Manchester United fans is not large, but the colorful wigs on their heads make them particularly conspicuous, not only Li Lei, but everyone at the scene saw them at once.

The on-site camera faithfully recorded this scene, and Li Lei was inexplicably moved at this moment, feeling that a warm torrent was surging in his chest.

It was another special moment for him, the first time he had enjoyed such courtesy and support from the fans.

And the first time is always special, always more exciting and crazy, and Li Lei is no exception to this. At this moment, facing Myburgh, who is not a strong enemy, he has already burst out in his heart with the same crazy fighting spirit as when facing Arsenal!

That's why he made this scene after the pre-match ceremony.

Just when all the players except the captains on both sides began to run to their respective halves and take their places, Li Lei unexpectedly slowly paced to the bench in front of Myburgh, where there was a figure in a suit and leather shoes who had just been booed by the Manchester United fans in the stadium, and he was also the protagonist of the dog fight he was going to fight for Ferguson - McLaren.

All of a sudden, Li Lei's strange behavior attracted everyone's attention, including McLaren, of course.

Of course, the famous "young marshal" of England will not fail to know the Asian goalkeeper who was just reprimanded by him before the game, and he frowned and looked at Li Lei, who was getting closer and closer, with a disdainful sneer on his lips and a playful gaze. He doesn't have to think about it to know that Li Lei is here to trouble him, this damn little gangster!

Previously, no one knew why McLaren suddenly found trouble with Li Lei, after all, if he wanted to interfere with the preparations for the Manchester League, there were many other places and aspects that could accuse him of attacking, and there was no need to be questioned by some people like Li Lei, after all, Li Lei's own strength and potential have long been recognized and recognized by the public, and it is not possible to be black if you want to.

In this regard, Li Lei was also a little puzzled at first. Although he quickly put the question aside and didn't bother with any more points, after all, in his opinion, discussing why an enemy is doing something to you is simply the most wasteful thing to do, just attack back.

But at this moment, he felt as if he had found an answer to a question he no longer cared about.

McLaren's indifferent and arrogant eyes at this moment were too familiar to Li Lei. Ever since the moment he became sensible, he had seen it in the eyes of the white people around him. At first, he would still be sad and panicked about this, but he soon became numb and indifferent to it, and didn't care too much, but his feelings of disgust and disgust for this did not change no matter what.

I see! Scold!!

Walking to McLaren, who was 5 meters away, Li Lei couldn't help but sneer coldly with disdain after standing still. Then, the trademark disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth began to grow slowly.

At the same time, under the attention of everyone in the audience, he gradually raised his right hand, which was like a knife, to his neck, and then raised his neck slightly, which was a stroke - cut his throat! He knew that this kind of action could touch the sensitive nerves in the hearts of these self-proclaimed noble "gentlemen" the most.

Sure enough, under his gaze, McLaren's face was instantly gloomy, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were full of irrepressible anger, although he still tried his best to control the change in his own expression, but where could this escape Li Lei's eyes.

He saw through McLaren's mind, the England young marshal was furious, angry how dare he do this?! How dare you do such an action to him under the gaze of everyone?!!

Of course, in addition to this, there must be a lot of vicious curses and angry scolding. He didn't care about that, though, he just wanted to see the panicked, embarrassed look on McLaren's face.

With these, he is enough.

This is just the beginning, wait, you no-flop dog!

At this moment, the disdainful sneer on the corner of Li Lei's mouth had been skimmed to the maximum, just like a scimitar out of the sheath.

Sharp!

Killing Intent!!

I'm going to see blood!!
