Seeing that the time was about to enter the 80th minute of the game, but the Manchester United players on the field were still unable to break through Van der Sar's ten fingers, Ferguson on the sidelines finally couldn't hold back anymore and made the first substitution of the game between the two sides.

Saha was brought on for Phil Neville, a striker for a defensive midfielder, with the clear aim of not wanting United to play another FA Cup tie with Fulham.

Playing against his former club for more than two seasons and facing the cacophony of boos from the Fulham fans who had previously adored him, it was not an easy task for the French striker.

But the effect of his presence on Manchester United's attacking performance was immediate. When Fulham's centre-backs had to be distracted by him and couldn't go all out to close Ruud van Nistelrooy, the King of the Small Box came alive in the Fulham box.

In United's first attack after Saha came on, Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately received a cross from Cristiano Ronaldo and beat Fulham centre-back Goma, who was marking him, to complete a dangerous header. Had it not been for Van der Sar's excellent form today, which once again provided a world-class brilliant save, Fulham's goal would have been breached.

However, Saha's arrival and Phil Neville's departure have had a positive impact on Manchester United's attack, but they are a bit tight on the defensive end. Without the panacea Phil Neville's clamping in the midfield, Keane, who is already 33 years old alone, will not be able to withstand Fulham's impact in midfield.

In this way, while Manchester United's attack became more and more sharp, Fulham's counterattack, which had not been a threat throughout the game so far, finally began to make a sound.

In the 80th minute of the second half, when Paul Scholes' long-range shot from the middle of the box was blocked, and Keane did not have time to control the second spot, Fulham took advantage of the opportunity to play a counter-attack.

It can be seen from this counterattack that Fulham has achieved excellent results this season, not without reason, from the back Jatu to the right midfielder Malblanc, to the forward Levinski, and then to the left wingback Sean Davies, and finally the cross to the top of Boamott's head in the penalty area, the whole counterattack process is very tacit, very organized, and very orderly.

Unfortunately, the only thing missing may be a good goalscorer like Saha who can take his chances.

Just like this time, when seeing Fulham's counterattack play so smoothly, Li Lei in front of the goal was ready to make a desperate save, and his whole body muscles were completely tensed the moment Sean Davies's cross flew into the penalty area.

But what he never expected was that this time, with a very wonderful counterattack, there would be such a nihilistic ending. Boamott shook off Brown, who was close to him, and flew straight into his arms, who were planning to fly out the next moment, without even adjusting the position of a centimeter.

At the moment when he firmly hugged the football in his arms, Li Lei's first feeling was not the joy after completing the save, nor the emptiness of this extremely low-quality shot, but the sympathy for Fulham manager Coleman. This time, it was finally clear to him that Coleman hated Manchester United and Alex Ferguson so much.

However, even so, he had no intention of letting go of his intention to teach Coleman a lesson. After all, in terms of his character, sympathy for his opponent is at most a little expression in his mood, but it will definitely not be reflected in his actions. In actual action, he wished that his opponent would be more miserable.

Compared with Li Lei's own nihilistic feeling about the end of Fulham's attack, although Fulham was also disappointed by this result, it at least gave them hope of scoring a goal to win. Coleman, who was on the sidelines, was particularly excited about this.

Just like Alex Ferguson, Coleman doesn't want another FA Cup tie against Manchester United. However, unlike Ferguson, who tried not to add difficulties to the team's schedule, his reasoning was that even if he played another play-up game, the chances of winning would never be higher than this one.

He knows very well that at this time, Fulham's lineup on the field is already the strongest lineup that Fulham can send now, but it is still being pressed by Manchester United throughout the game.

The reason why the team can maintain a 0:0 draw with Manchester United now depends on the explosive form of Van der Sar, the old Dutch goalkeeper in front of the goal, not the overall strength of the whole team. If it weren't for Van der Sar, his own door would have been shattered by Manchester United's attack.

Therefore, he is convinced that if his team can really knock out Manchester United, it will most likely happen in this game. If there is another make-up game and the hope that Van der Sar is in the same good form as he is today, Coleman is not so naïve.

So, after this attack, he immediately rushed to the sidelines with applause and encouraged the players on the field: "Not bad! Excellent!! Guys, that's it! That's it!! Keep attacking, we can win! Go on the offensive!! ......”

When he gave such an order, the Fulham players on the field naturally responded with all their might, and the pressure and pressing of the Fulham players on the field immediately increased to a new level.

Coleman watched with burning eyes. He certainly knows how much pressure it puts on his backline. But he's gambling that the team's backline and the in-form Van der Sar can stop United's increasingly ferocious attack before the team scores. In a way, he was also out of the way.

Regardless of the end result, at least for now, Fulham has done a good job.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Fulham had another dangerous shot on goal. It was a chance for the Fulham midfielder, who was already on the verge of exhaustion, to pounce on Keane like mad dogs the moment he received Brown's pass. Eventually, when all three of them and Keane fell to the ground in a scramble, Jet was able to stab the ball at the retreating McBride.

When McBride took the ball and turned around, facing the oncoming Silvestre, Li Lei in front of the goal immediately cheered up with 120,000 points, staring at McBride's every move, and changing direction with his smashing acceleration, and constantly fine-tuning his position with small steps.

He knows that, based on the current state of the attack, McBride has no support at all other than Boamot, so the Fulham striker is likely to shoot from distance at any time. And it is precisely because of this that he was so vigilant and did not dare to relax in the slightest when McBride was not close to the penalty area at this time.

And the final situation was indeed as Li Lei expected. After accelerating with his left foot and dribbling forward diagonally for a few steps, McBride, who lacked support, immediately forced his foot to hit the goal.

Right!

After the football was shot by McBride, with the judgment of super dynamic vision, Li Lei's body immediately made instinctive actions. But just as his center of gravity began to move, the accident suddenly happened at this moment.

Sylvester's downfall block was meant to be good, but it did something bad at the moment. After the football was padded by his right calf shin guard, the forward route immediately changed completely, and after being lifted on tiptoe, it flew directly to Li Lei's left-hand side.

Damn it!

When the Manchester United fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim in unison, Li Lei gritted his teeth, forcibly reversed his center of gravity, and began to act. Fortunately, after the football was blocked like this, the forward speed slowed down significantly, which gave Li Lei the opportunity to complete the save.

Before the football crossed the goal line, Li Lei's Spider-Man-like figure finally arrived. In the end, Kankan stabbed the football out of the bottom line with his fingertips, which made the Manchester United fans who were shocked into a cold sweat breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Li Lei, who stood up amid the loud applause and cheers of the audience, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, calling out for his caution just now. If he had been careless due to McBride's previous series of clumsy shots, he would have been too late to save this line-changing shot.

It's dangerous! But then, it's time to take care of your problems!

Glancing at the sidelines, who was constantly instructing the Fulham players to press Coleman, who participated in the corner kick attack, Li Lei, who was still in a cold sweat just now, immediately had a cold light in his eyes!

Fierce and fierce!!
