After a dull tentative process in the opening stages, United finally stepped up their attack in the 10th minute of the first half. www.biquge.info Although their offensive action today seems to be much weaker than before, it does not mean that they have given up attacking football today. If you want to be conservative, I won't be able to keep you, and in the stadium of Old Trafford, Ferguson's Manchester United has always had such a domineering spirit.

Although Manchester City, who have taken the initiative to retreat to the defence, seem to have a very solid defensive formation, it is understandable that a team that has been mainly attacking until then suddenly played defensive tactics. Although it is not without this kind of team in the history of football that can attack and defend, Manchester United, which is currently on the verge of the relegation zone, is certainly not.

After a series of successive lateral transfers, City's two old centre-backs, Distin and Dunn, finally struggled to keep up. Scholes, who had picked up the ball on the edge of the box, was keenly aware of this and sent a scalpel-like through ball straight at the gap between Dunn and City's left wing-back Tanat.

At the same time, Ronaldo also actively stepped forward quickly, using his explosive power and speed advantage to force past the blocking Tanat, and then completed a beautiful inverted triangle pass. In the end, with Ruud van Nistelrooy cutting in front to draw the attention of the two centre-backs, Distin and Dunn, Scholes, who initiated the attack, delivered a powerful volley. Had it not been for Manchester City goalkeeper James' quick reaction, Paul Scholes' shot might have broken the deadlock for Manchester United.

Although Scholes' failed to find the back of the net made the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford sigh in unison, Ferguson on the sidelines seemed to be pleased with the team's attack, and instead of having the slightest look of regret on his face, he nodded appreciatively.

No matter what others think, at least in Ferguson's opinion, this attack is very valuable and worthwhile, even if it doesn't score. It proved that his attacking tactics of slow-moving City, which focused on Manchester City's two old centre-backs, were successful before the game, and as long as United can continue to patiently search for opportunities, he believes that the moment will come, and it is only a matter of time.

Moreover, from the first 10 minutes of the game, it seems that Scholes and others are in a much better state than the previous period, so although this game has only started recently, Ferguson has already made a firm judgment in his heart - the team's attack in this game will not be the main problem for him to consider.

There is no problem with attack, the only thing left to consider is defense, Ferguson turned his gaze to Li Lei, who stayed in the backfield alone, but had been intently observing the development of the situation in the front court, and there was only trust and relief in his energetic eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile.

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart the wonder of the fate of the world, on the night when Li Lei shot him, he didn't expect that the "unashamed" slum gangster who wanted to make a lot of money by playing football could come to this point, surpassing Carroll, Barthez, and even Howard, who is still the main starting goalkeeper of Manchester United, to become his most trusted goalkeeper.

Hum! But thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but snort coldly, if it weren't for those bastard high-level executives, I would have promoted Lee to the starter a long time ago, how could I accept the threat of that Yankee......

You won't be proud for long, though, don't let me down, you stinky boy!

At this moment, Ferguson's gaze at Li Lei was clouded with another layer of ardent expectation and waiting.

At least judging from this game, Li Lei's performance did not disappoint Ferguson.

Although Manchester City have been relegated to the brink of the relegation zone this season, the squad itself is much higher than that, as evidenced by the first wave of the game's threatening attack in the 16th minute of the first half. After a period of bombardment by Manchester United, and a somewhat awkward backline, City finally managed to organise an effective counter-attack.

When Manchester United fans saw the Manchester City players use a few smooth backs to avoid the Manchester United players' counter-attack, and immediately began to entertain them with crazy shrill boos after the first momentum of the counterattack, Li Lei in front of the goal almost couldn't help but smile.

It's not that he has any quirks of "being attacked", it's really that he has been idle for nearly 20 minutes, and it's rare to finally see something to do, how can this make him active by nature, and he can't bear to be lonely and not excited and happy.

No matter how excited Li Lei is, Manchester City's counterattack is indeed impressive. Manchester United players chased back several times, but they were dodged with skillful cooperation, and they were about to advance to the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

Seeing this, Lineker, who was sent to comment on the game, immediately cheered up, he didn't like dull game scenes, but he didn't like the one-sided attack situation very much, this kind of quick attack and defense back and forth is his favorite game picture.

'Sir Alex Ferguson has no problem resting Keane for this game, given the intensity of play Manchester United have been playing in recent times. However, to have Carrington youngsters Fletcher and Phil Neville, who have just played in the first team this season, as a double midfielder, is obviously too much of a drag. Fletcher was still too immature, and City's ability to push this counter-attack into the vicinity of United's penalty area was directly related to his lack of decisive tactical fouls. Look, here's your chance! Beautiful pass from Bosvelt! Reyna crosses! It's Anelka!! ......”

At the same time that Lineker called out Anelka's name, Li Lei had already put all his attention on him. He has already watched a lot of Manchester City game videos and in-depth investigation of Anelka, the French striker, before the game, he knows very well that almost 80% of Manchester City's attack revolves around Anelka, and this selfish and arrogant French striker will hardly let go of every opportunity to shoot, and he has already reached a certain level.

Therefore, in the face of Manchester City's offensive this time, when Anelka stepped into the Manchester United penalty area, Li Lei almost completely ignored Wanchope, one of Manchester City's two strikers who was on his side, with Silvestre on the side.

And it is precisely because of Li Lei's expected preparation this time that when Reina's cross flew into the penalty area, Anelka began to fall to the ground and slide under the pull of Brown to grab a tackle in front of the goal, and he even had time to sigh in his heart A simple guess of Manchester City's offensive routine.

For Li Lei, who has been tested by Arsenal's hellish level of attacking lines in the front court, which is all starting points and endpoints, the gap between Manchester City's attack and Arsenal at this time is as obvious as the college entrance examination score questions and Olympiad questions.

Right!

When Anelka's instep shoveled into the football that fell from the sky, Li Lei, who has super dynamic vision, immediately judged the route of the football that had just begun to change the line and fly towards the goal, and his eyes immediately flashed, and he had already been ready to kick out with his slightly bent legs with all his might, and the whole person flew out like a cheetah attacking and hunting, pointing directly at the football in the air.

In the end, Li Lei not only blocked the route to the goal, but also blocked the football after it landed, he immediately kicked forward on his two toes as soon as he landed, and quickly pressed the football that he had just saved under him, and did not give Anelka, who had stretched out his foot to make up for the shot, any chance at all.

Whether it's for a salary rise, or a move away from Manchester City to find a richer and more famous club, at least as a striker, Anelka's desire to score goals in this attack is indeed hungry.

When Li Lei stood up with the football in his arms, he looked down at random and saw Anelka, who had just fallen to the ground with all his strength because of the tackle shot and wanted to make up for it, was staring at him and the football in his hand with hot eyes.

Interesting!

As if seeing some interesting toy, Li Lei immediately returned his trademark disdainful sneer to Anelka. As he expected, Anelka's reaction to this was really interesting to him.

Although Anelka forced himself not to show it, Li Lei clearly saw anger, annoyance, and even disdain for himself in his eyes.

These are much more than Li Lei expected.

Looking at Anelka's eyes that glared back, Li Lei didn't have any superfluous reactions, but the coldness in the eyes at the corners of his mouth deepened in a trance.

It's like a hungry wolf that has seen its prey, as if it was shining with a deep and cold green light!

Cold!

Crazy!!

Terrible!!!
