Chapter 33: Pire, who is recruited in the penalty shootout

At this moment, Li Lei and Arsenal fans made a lot of noise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This made the referee on duty, who was already aware of the ability of Manchester United's No. 13 player to cause trouble, immediately suspended the ongoing penalty shootout, hurriedly ran over, and gave Li Lei a serious warning.

Because this game has been accompanied by the players of both sides in pain and falling to the ground in pain, the anger in the hearts of fans on both sides has accumulated a lot by now. Therefore, the referee is also afraid that if Li Lei is indulged again, it will make the Arsenal fans who are already angry really make a big incident. At that time, it will not only be the trouble of Manchester United and Arsenal, but even he, the referee on duty, will not be able to eat and walk around.

Of course, in the face of such a posture of the referee, Li Lei is still very "well-behaved". Don't offend those who can't be offended, this is also the philosophy of survival he learned in the slums. In the case that the referee did not violate his bottom line, Li Lei would not be stupid enough to risk hurting his career that he had just started and pretending to be tough in front of the referee.

However, this is just the "goodness" he pretends to be on the surface. Any clear-eyed person, as long as he sees Li Lei standing on the side, standing casually, and with a relaxed look on his face, knows that he definitely did not listen to the referee's words in his heart, otherwise where would he put on such a living look of begging for a beating.

Thankfully, Arsenal fans were finally back focused on the penalty shoot-out that was going on. With Lee Lei saving Patrick Vieira's spoon penalty, Arsenal's winning prospects became less clear again and they were back on the same page with Manchester United.

At this crucial juncture, Arsenal fans should have booed Ryan Giggs at the ball. But I don't know if it's because Li Lei booed too much and too loudly, although the boos of Arsenal fans are still ringing at this time, the intensity has obviously weakened a lot.

Lineker, who is a brilliant commentator, was keenly aware of this, and he couldn't help but laugh and say: "I bet the Arsenal fans must have reached their limit by this time." In this can be a large part of Manchester United's Lee credit. I never imagined that the goalkeeper could play such an important extra role in a penalty shoot-out in addition to saves, which was an eye-opener. ”

Of course, this is a joke, but the "eye-opening" in this statement is really true. Although the penalty shootout was really tense, Lineker's eyes were unconsciously aimed at Li Lei who was standing aside. It's been a long time since he's seen such an interesting goalkeeper in English football or even in world football. And no matter what kind of performance Li Lei will have in the future, anyway, Lineker feels that as long as there is a game for Li Lei in the future, I am afraid he will be very interested in watching it.

Of course, as a qualified narrator, he refocused his attention on the direct conversation between Ryan Giggs and Lehmann at the most crucial moments. While just staring at the two people on the court, he kept saying: "I believe that after the loss of Ruud van Nistelrooy in the first round, the experienced Giggs has adjusted his mentality." The Welshman, although not as well-known as David Beckham and without Keane's authority, has always been the most consistent one and has never let down the United fans and Ferguson. ”

Facts have also proved that his praise of Giggs is not groundless. As soon as he finished speaking, Giggs's corner was firmly planted against the turf and into the net. This time, Lehmann was completely deceived by his run before the goal, and the German goalkeeper, who misjudged the direction, could only watch the football go into the net helplessly. It was also with this that Manchester United finally took the lead in the penalty shoot-out.

Amid the annoyed sighs of Arsenal fans and the passionate cheers of Manchester United fans, Giggs, who successfully scored the penalty, waved his fist in celebration, and then deliberately walked to Li Lei on the side, patted him on the shoulder and said a few words encouragingly, before turning around and walking towards his teammates who were celebrating in the center circle.

I have to say that Giggs's behavior made Li Lei, who had not yet realized the importance of teammates in football games from his bones, stunned at first, and then reacted and clapped his hands with Giggs. This feeling is a strange and strange feeling for Li Lei, which makes him a little uncomfortable when he has been alone in the slums.

In this regard, he can't say anything good or bad, but he simply feels that this feeling is not bad. Moreover, he did not have much time to reminisce, because it was his turn to stand in front of the gate and be tested. This requires him to concentrate his full attention and not let up the slightest bit of slackness.

Li Lei is a very rational person. Although when it came to saving Vieira's spoon penalty, he behaved rampantly, even getting carried away. But he knew very well that the reason why it was so easy last time was because Vieira didn't take him seriously and was too careless. The signs of asking for a spoon penalty are too obvious, otherwise, how could Li Lei be so easy to let Vieira, an old Jianghu, suffer in front of him.

So, he knows very well that this time it won't be so easy when the Arsenal players raise their vigilance against him and stop treating him like a rookie who can't do anything. For him, it can be said that the real penalty shoot-out has only just begun.

And the players in this Arsenal squad are all top in strength and experience, so it is not so easy for Li Lei to think about any outstanding performance in the next penalty shootout, unless he wants to make a move, and then see if he is lucky, whether it can work.

Arsenal's second penalty was Patrick Vieira's compatriot, also from France. Looking at this Frenchman with a somewhat handsome face, Li Lei's mind began to recall with all his might that he had seen his information before the game.

Outstanding and well-rounded, with no obvious weaknesses, it is a typical annoying opponent. This is the evaluation that Li Lei made to him when he saw Pire's information before the game.

However, it is not that there is no place to exploit and attack. Li Lei suddenly thought that Pire's shooting is characterized by arcs and angles to win, pay attention to exquisiteness, and there are not many cases of vigorous shooting.

If you are delicate and delicate, you will have a great demand for accuracy, and you need to be calm and calm to play steadily.

If that's the case, isn't it that he can't be so calm? Just do that.....

I don't know what the hell he came up with, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously brought a grim smile. Boldly do it when you think of it, this is one of Li Lei's excellent qualities, and he didn't change the idea of this at this time.

Although he didn't actually play in a penalty shoot-out in an official game, Richard and Jimmy still talked to him a lot about how the psychological warfare between goalkeepers and penalty shooters unfolded. Moreover, Li Lei himself has seen a lot from some penalty shootout videos.

Although he can't fully understand all the processes, he still knows how to draw gourds. Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the football at his feet, and then, with a cold and playful smile, took the initiative to walk towards Pire, who had just arrived at the penalty spot.

Facing Li Lei, Pi Lei naturally did not have any good expression. After witnessing Li Lei so provoke the Arsenal fans and insult his compatriot and captain Vieira, he must be crazy if he will show any friendly behavior towards Li Lei. He looked coldly at Li Lei, who was slowly approaching, although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he could still guess something with experience, it was nothing more than psychological warfare.

A rookie actually uses psychological warfare against himself. Thinking of this, the corners of Pire's mouth couldn't help but bring a haughty sneer, and he looked at Li Lei who was getting closer and closer with disdain like a clown.

Sure enough, as he thought, when Li Lei walked close enough to him, he threw the football at his feet, and then took the opportunity to lean his head over, and in a cold tone in his ear, he said provocatively: "Do you remember the great shot opportunity you missed in the 67th minute?" I remember it all the time. Even in my opinion, that shot stinks too much, and it's a shame. ”

"I should thank you, though. If you hadn't wasted that chance, there would have been no extra time and no penalty shootouts. In that case, where will I have a chance to play, how can I have a chance to humiliate your fans and captains? All of this adds up to a lot of responsibility. ”

"But I have a hunch that you will be my lucky star today. You didn't feel good on your feet today, I bet you'd kick it off. .....”

Li Lei's words were not finished, but he had no chance to continue. Because, as soon as he said this, Piret frowned in annoyance, and pushed him away.

At the same time, the referee also came over and signaled Li Lei to immediately retreat, not to interfere with Pire anymore and delay the game.

Under such circumstances, Li Lei could only pretend to be innocent and nodded, and then walked backwards towards the door. But when the referee turned around and walked away, his face immediately brought the standard provocative look, disdainful eyes, slightly raised chin, and mocking sneer.

At the same time, he kept using his right hand to point at the still pale, ugly Pire, and did not relax his provocation for a moment, did not give him any adjustment of emotions, and filtered out the time for what he had just said.

Because he knew that his purpose had been successful. From the irritable expression on his face when Pi Lei pushed him away just now, Li Lei knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved, and all he had to do now was to keep it up.

Because of this, he was in a good mood, and even ignored the shrill boos of the Arsenal fans who sounded behind him again, and did not make another note to the Arsenal fans in his heart. However, he did not let up either. As soon as he took his feet on the goal line, he leaned down and focused his attention entirely on Pire.

The off-board move has been done, and it depends on the will of God whether it can be successfully successful. Providence, Li Lei can't control it, the only thing he can do now is to do his best.

"Toot!"

After the referee's whistle blew, Pire took a few deep breaths, tried to calm his chagrin just now, and immediately started running.

But the speed and frequency of the run was not fast, he learned the lesson of Vieira, and adopted the strategy of trying to use the change of frequency and feints to trick Li Lei first, and then after Li Lei made a save, he would definitely send out the penalty.

For a rookie goalkeeper, this would have been an excellent solution. But what he never expected was that in daily training, Richard and Jimmy had warned Li Lei countless times that under any circumstances, he should never be the first to move. Predicting in advance and keeping the shot firmly in place is chic and beautiful, but the risk is too great, because the goalkeeper's mistake is almost equal to conceding a goal.

In addition, Li Lei is very obedient to professionals in the professional field. Before he had a say in the goalkeeper position, his warnings to Richard and Jimmy were a golden rule that would never have been violated if he hadn't been killed.

However, it is this that exerts extreme pressure on Piret at this moment. Seeing that he was waving his right foot in front of the football, Li Lei was still staring at him, and he didn't mean to move in advance.

This situation made the chagrin and impatience that he had barely suppressed just now suddenly pop up again. At this moment, his mind suddenly recalled what Li Lei had just said in his ear, which made his heart suddenly suffer from gains and losses, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger inexplicably.

In fact, how did he know that Li Lei's calm state at this time was just an empty shell. Since Pire's run-up, the Frenchman's frequency changes, as well as subtle and realistic feints, have almost made him make early saves several times. At this time, don't look at him looking calm, but in fact, he has already been in chaos.

And this hesitant mentality is the most fatal for a player who takes a penalty. Once this mentality is generated, it is equivalent to losing half of it in advance. But at this point, even if Pire wanted to adjust his mentality, it was already too late.

At the last moment, when the arch of his foot was about to touch the football, Piret suddenly hesitantly changed the direction of the ankle break. Originally, he wanted to play on the right side of the goal, but at the last moment he switched to the left.

This kind of penalty kick is really taboo. And Pire himself chuckled ominously at the moment when the penalty was awarded. As an experienced player, often the moment you shoot a football, you can have a rough judgment in your heart about whether the football will go in or not.

But this time, Piret didn't feel very good.

Similarly, Li Lei's feeling is not much better. Although he followed the precaution of never being the first to move, the result of focusing too much on this in his heart was that his reaction became slower.

When he faced the football and flew sideways to make a save, he felt that he was slowing down. Even if the save action had just been made, Li Lei's super dynamic vision told him that if he continued to find it in this way, his big hand would not be able to stop the current trajectory of the football.

At this time, Li Lei's heart could only hope that the off-the-plate tricks he had made before would work. Still in the air, his eyes were fixed on the football that had crossed his big palms, and he didn't dare to move away for a moment.

Fortunately, Lady Luck chose him in the end.

There was only a crisp bang, and the penalty kick shot by Pire hit the outside of the left post and flew out of the bottom line under Li Lei's gaze.

Seeing this result, Li Lei, who had just landed, immediately jumped up from the ground in ecstasy, as if he had a spring under his body.

"Ah!!h

Amid the unbelievable frustrated sighs of Arsenal fans and the tsunami-like cheers of Manchester United fans, Li Lei clenched his fists and roared excitedly.

This is the excitement and excitement of escaping death!

As soon as he finished yelling, he immediately turned his head to look at Pire, who was almost on his knees at the penalty spot.

Because he was repeatedly warned by the referee not to cause trouble again, Li Lei rarely gave up his usual bold celebration style this time, but became "gentle and elegant".

I saw him slowly walk up to Pire, and then stretched out his hands to him, with a smile of "thanks" on his face, and applauded gently.

While clapping, his head kept turning left and right, signaling everyone at the Millennium Stadium to give a round of applause to the "kind" Pire.

His sincere thanks are really good, but his banter and disdain are really too dramatic. As long as he is a clear-eyed person, after seeing his eyes, he can immediately feel endless malice from it.

But the effect of this gesture is still good.

At least, in the next moment, in the midst of laughter, half of the Millennium Stadium remembered the warm applause.

It's just the other half, but there are deafening boos and angry scolding.

However, this is exactly what Li Lei wants to see.

As a result, the smile of "thanks" on the corner of his mouth immediately became brighter and brighter.

It's just that behind this brilliance, this smile is like a sharp sword, piercing into the hearts of all the personnel on the Arsenal side.

Bleeding!

Bloody!!
