What Manchester City fans didn't expect was that it was the "warm" boos given to Li Lei by himself and others just now that made Manchester United, the Asian goalkeeper, completely excited before the game started, and his state suddenly rose.

Because of this, after the pre-game ceremony, waiting for the captains of the two teams to guess the coin, Li Lei, who had officially started the game, couldn't help but be excited to jump in front of the goal, and after jumping, he eagerly looked forward to the game starting as soon as possible, saving him from waiting for an itch.

It's obviously a very good thing for a footballer to be in such a mental and physical state before the game starts.

Just 1 minute after the opening, this sentence was fully demonstrated in Li Lei.

Before the game, almost everyone predicted that Manchester City would let go of the tired team that beat Manchester United in this game, and they would definitely strengthen the pace of the game and take the initiative to attack tactics from the beginning. But what they didn't expect was that the game was not only in the mood of the Manchester United players themselves, but also happened to be at the peak of Manchester City's players.

As soon as kick-off, the Manchester United players showed their physical fatigue. Although Ferguson has made some adjustments to the starting line of this game, there are only a few people who can be used in the Manchester United first team at present, and no matter how good his coaching level is, he can't play the drama of big changes.

Although there are also Keane in the current Manchester United lineup who did not play in the second leg of the game with Porto due to the ban, he can still be regarded as a fierce general, but no matter how brave the meritorious captain of Manchester United is, he cannot save the team's overall physical and mental fatigue gap. Manchester City's offensive in the first leg of the opening game is the best illustration of this.

When Keane kept his eye on Allassen, who had replaced Joey Barton after his injury, the City players immediately put the football at the feet of the other players up front, not Aranson's, so Wright, Phillips and others began to use their abundant physical strength to start wantonly in front of their respective defenders.

This is how City's first threatening attack after the opening kick-off came, when Wright Jr. won the ball and ate O'Shea raw without spediting directly with the ball. O'Shea, whose reaction and instantaneous speed were obviously a beat slower than usual, was easily eaten by him

Seeing this, Li Lei in front of the door cheered up 120,000 points. Just through O'Shea's moment just now, he has seen it completely clearly, he can't expect and rely on anyone in this game, he can only rely on himself.

In the game, it is obviously not easy for the goalkeeper to do this level. But in terms of Li Lei's state today, he feels that he can do it completely, and this is indeed the case.

When a return pass to Anelka, who had suddenly withdrawn from the penalty area, was sent to Anelka, who had been a step slower to react and didn't follow, after Wright Jr. had gone down to the baseline, and Brown scrambled to pounce. However, in the eyes of Li Lei, who was standing in front of the goal line at this moment, he had completely ignored it, completely when Anelka was without defensive force around him at this time, and there was no obstacle in front of him to judge.

And then it turned out that such a mindset is very necessary.

Although Brown had tried hard to block it, in the end, it didn't interfere with Anelka's long-range shot at all because of his initial slow step. To put it reluctantly, it only blocked the middle of Li Lei's best save.

It has to be said that Anelka was clearly in very good form after opening today. The first shot of the game just one minute after the opening kick was of very high quality.

As the ball flew towards the top left corner of the goal like a runway after a dull thud, the City fans, who had been watching the game for a long time, immediately stood up from their seats in anticipation. These guys are well aware that the goalkeeper agrees to be caught off guard when he hits a high-quality long-range shot in the opening stages. Because they are not fully mobilized, many goalkeepers can't even make the most stretched saving posture, so the success rate of the save is naturally low.

But it is clear that today's Li Lei does not belong to this kind of goalkeeper.

When the Manchester City fans were about to cheer excitedly for the arrival of the goal, Li Lei's posture of being one step ahead and completely stretched out in the air immediately swallowed the cheers that had reached their throats again, and turned into a sigh of regret.

However, they don't have too many regrets. Because after this opening attack, many of them keenly smelled the next trend of the game. They are full of confidence and today is destined to belong to the great Manchester City!

Moreover, it is not only Manchester City fans who have such thoughts. From the opening attack, most of the neutral commentators who noticed the sluggish form of Manchester United's players also felt the same way.

It is also true that after this attack, Manchester City had an overwhelming advantage over Manchester United in the situation on the pitch, and the attack was like a wave, wave after wave. But what they never expected was that the Manchester City players were in good shape today, but Li Lei's was even better.

In the fifth minute of the first half, Manchester City once again used the active movement of the midfield to tear apart the United defence that was beleaguered by physical strength. In the end, Wanchope received a pass from left wing-back Reina and shot unguarded in the box. But Li Lei reacted in front of the goal again with a beautiful flying side, which made the expectant Manchester City fans sigh with great regret.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Anelka got another chance to challenge Li Lei. It's a pity that in the face of a single opportunity, this time Li Lei relied on a timely and fast attack, and obviously had enough upper hand in this face-to-face battle with him. The perfect angle blocked, so that Anelka's final shot in front of the goal could only be honestly blocked by Li Lei after falling to the ground and blocking the bottom line with his foot.

Five minutes later, City had another great chance to open the scoring. It was a corner, with Gary Neville partnering with Brown's tired centre-backs, and this time allowed Nicolas Anelka to squeeze a strong first spot over the duo's heads. The Frenchman then shook his head with a lion and pushed the football against the door of Li Lei's handle. Although the angle is not completely open, it is better to shoot close enough to the goal, and it is really a close range that no matter how fast the reaction speed is, it will not work.

But what makes Manchester City fans unbearable is that it is such a header that must be scored in 9 out of 10, and in the face of today's Li Lei, he has become the one who does not score.

Just when they were looking forward to the goal, no one would have thought that Li Lei would casually raise and block with his right hand on the goal line, and he would dissolve this must-score goal so lightly, as if it was as simple as eating and drinking, and he would solve it with a smile.

Such a picture made the Manchester City fans at Maine Road Stadium a little unacceptable at this moment.

But this is not the end, what they can't accept is that after completing this wonderful random save, Li Lei in front of the goal suddenly turned around and pouted at Anelka. Then, he slapped a few times casually and lightly.

Such a humiliating action, coupled with the disdainful sneer on the corner of Li Lei's mouth at the moment, let alone Anelka, who watched it up close, even they in the stands couldn't stand it.

This is a wanton humiliation in public!

Red fruit fruit!!

Unabashed!!
