Chapter 177: Hunting Anelka (4)
Just when Li Lei was thinking about how to calculate Anelka, Manchester United's offensive line was also in full swing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Keegan's mentality collapsed, so he did not give timely instructions to the Manchester City players on the pitch after Manchester United took the lead, and it was this that directly led to the Manchester City players being divided into two factions who wanted to continue to attack and equalize, and who wanted to stabilize the situation first.
And when a team is not unified in thinking, it is equivalent to losing 800 before killing the enemy. In such a situation, even the world's top teams will have a chaotic formation and collapse the situation, not to mention Manchester City, which is not even an average strong team.
"Keep pressing! Step up the offense!! Crush them!! The old Spicy Ferguson, who was keenly aware of this, naturally did not sit idly by and watch Manchester United lose this opportunity to crush the city's rivals Manchester City in one fell swoop, and immediately made a loud offensive gesture on the sidelines.
His shouts also woke Keegan who was still in a breakdown, and by the time Keegan came back to his senses, rushed to the sidelines in a panic and shouted "defend first" and "stabilize the situation first" to the Manchester City players on the field, it was too late.
The disunity of the tactical thinking of Manchester City's players has directly caused the disconnection of their three fronts, and the defensive line is full of holes. Faced with this good opportunity to extend the scoreline, the experienced Manchester United players who were united to win this game will not let go of this opportunity, and the second goal of the game for Manchester United was not long in coming.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Manchester City's evacuated defense allowed Scholes, Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy to easily play a smooth small-range continuous short pass in front of the Manchester City penalty area, which dazzled the aging Manchester City defense so much that it could not find the north.
In the end, when Scholes suddenly struck the outside of his right foot straight past them and hit the gap left behind them by following Ruud van Nistelrooy out of the box, the two veteran centre-backs could only watch Cristiano Ronaldo sprint into the box and chase Scholes's clever pass. By the time they turned, Ronaldo had already thrown them at least 5 metres away.
Although Ronaldo did not pass to Van Nistelrooy in the end, which will make the Dutch goalscorer's disgust with Ronaldo's "independence" deeper, but when Ronaldo singled out Manchester City goalkeeper James and successfully scored a goal with a calm kick at James' feet, the estrangement and dissatisfaction between the players were completely hidden.
With Alex Ferguson on the sidelines, no one dared to cheer and celebrate the goal in front of the world.
When the Manchester United players in the front court celebrated wildly, Li Lei, who stayed in the backfield, also happily waved his fists in celebration. Don't get me wrong, he's not happy about Ronaldo's "little white face", he's just happy that he's just adding another weight to the possibility of success in hunting Anelka.
In that case, I'm afraid you'll have to be even more agitated. Looking at the figure of Anelka in front of him, Li Lei said affirmatively in his heart, his eyes flashing with an unclear essence.
Li Lei guessed correctly, Anelka's heart was indeed more anxious at this time. But the reason is not that the team is already two goals down, but because of the poor performance of the other Manchester City players who seem flustered and vulnerable at the moment.
Looking at his Manchester City teammates who are bowing their heads and frustrated at the moment, Anelka is full of hatred and frustration, with their waste performance, how can they help me score, no, I have to leave this team as soon as possible, otherwise, my future will definitely be ruined here.
Not to mention where Anelka's confidence came from, he actually had this thought in his heart, anyway, he did it after the game restarted.
In this way, the image of Anelka, a "dutiful" and "never give up" player who did his best because the team was behind, immediately appeared in the hearts of everyone who watched the game after the game restarted.
Even Lineker, who has never been optimistic, couldn't help but praise the French striker when he saw Anelka's rare desperate effort on the pitch to scramble like a mad dog for the Manchester United players with the ball in the frontcourt: "This is the Nicolas Anelka that people have been looking forward to, if he had done this earlier, maybe he would not have fallen to the point where all the giants look down on him today." But it's not too late, he's only 24 years old, and if the Frenchman can continue to do so and be responsible, he could find a second spring at Manchester City. ......ā
It's just that when these people know Anelka's mental activities and thoughts at this moment, I'm afraid they will scold their cheating father, and they will be blind.
I'm going to score! I'm leaving this ghost team! These pieces of waste don't deserve to be my teammates at all! Staring at every Manchester United player with the ball, Anelka's eyes flashed like a lone wolf, how could he have half a point for the team, for his teammates.
But no matter what, everyone gave a friendly interpretation of Anelka's desperate behavior on the field at the moment. In this way, by mistake, the Manchester City fans who had lost their breath began to sing and cheer for the players on the field again, and the Manchester City players on the field also seemed to be moved by Anelka's "hard work" and "fighting spirit", and they were rejuvenated, and they were no longer as lifeless as Ronaldo's goal just now.
Even Keegan on the sidelines looked at Anelka and was full of relief, regretting that he usually cared too little about Anelka, and did not know that the French striker had undergone such a huge "change".
In the entire Old Trafford stadium, I am afraid that Li Lei is the only one who has seen the true face of Anelka and has not been confused. But in any case, Manchester City's military spirit was stabilized by Anelka's mistake, and the momentum that was about to be defeated by Manchester United was stabilized in this way, which cannot but be said to be a big misunderstanding.
Although Li Lei felt a little ridiculous about this, he didn't care too much about it. In his opinion, poor strength is poor strength, and he doesn't think that Manchester City players can suddenly beat Manchester United, who are in good form in this game, to equalize or even overtake the score. It only takes one more goal and the momentum will definitely disappear.
He is very confident in this and is not too worried.
At this moment, there is only one thing he cares about, and that is how to deal with Anelka's prey. Looking at Anelka's positive figure like a mad dog in the backfield constantly pressing the Manchester United players with the ball, Li Lei's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and the fun inside became more and more intense, and it became more and more cold and terrifying!
"Toot!"
It was at this moment that the referee's clear whistle suddenly sounded. Anelka, who couldn't grab the ball at the feet of the Manchester United players for a long time, was so impatient that he became angry, and directly knocked over the Manchester United teenager Fletcher who played in the back of the game with both feet off the ground, which immediately made the Manchester United fans on the scene let out a piercing boo, and also detonated the smell of gunpowder between the players on the field.
Before that, the players on both sides were relatively calm and rational on the court, and there were not even many fouls, but now the situation on the court has changed that. The Manchester City players, who were already two goals behind, did not have the heart to talk to the Manchester United players anymore, and when the Manchester United players angrily surrounded Anelka, they immediately surrounded them without showing weakness, and confronted the Manchester United players fiercely and strongly, regardless of whether this is Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United.
"Bastard, damn Frenchman, are you going to fight?!"
"Don't think it's too arrogant to think that this is your home field, we're not afraid!"
"This is our territory, you dare to go wild here!"
"What, do you still want to do it?! Come on!! ā
......
Just when the players of both sides confronted each other and staged the familiar derby scene with the smell of gunpowder pushing and scolding, and the referee's busy and rapid whistle was also buried in the shrill boos of Manchester United fans, everyone didn't notice that at this moment when the entire Old Trafford stadium was in chaos, Li Lei no longer knew when he left the gate and walked to Anelka, who was protected by Manchester City players.
"Hey, you piece of shit!" Just when Anelka watched the conflict unfolding on the sidelines, as if it had nothing to do with him, a sudden sentence reached his ears and suddenly aroused his anger.
He can not care at all about how his City team-mates who he sees as pawns are speaking for him, but he can't ignore the word "waste".
From the superstar of tomorrow who has been chased by many giants, to the "down" who has now been reduced to a gangster in Manchester City, Anelka, who has always regarded himself very high and has an extremely selfish and arrogant personality, has been extremely sensitive to self-esteem.
And at this time, this understatement, just like all the previous media questioning, ridiculing and condemning him, deeply stimulated him in the depths of his heart, which made him how could he not be angry! Don't be angry!!
Looking at Anelka, who suddenly turned his head and looked at him fiercely and angrily, Li Lei was not afraid at all and did not retreat, but looked at Anelka's posture with interest, like a hungry wolf admiring a fat lamb, and his cold and smiling eyes made people feel cold.
Anelka was no exception, although his face was still a strong and hideous and angry look, but after seeing Li Lei's eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth, he had already muttered unconsciously in his heart, and faintly had the idea of retreating.
He hid this thought well, but it did not escape Li Lei's eyes.
After the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend wider, Li Lei looked directly into Anelka's eyes and said coldly word by word: "I dare to guarantee that you won't be able to play in the second half." ā
"I promise!!"
The tone was grim and cold.
It's as eerie as a viper spitting letters!
It's as cold as a thousand-year-old piece of ice!!
Horrific and terrifying!!
