Chapter 164: Howard's Jealousy
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
When the referee's whistle blew, the entire Old Trafford stadium was filled with loud applause from Manchester United fans. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition to the fans and personnel of Myburgh, even the media reporters at the scene were all happy with smiles on their faces.
Although in this game, it did not become a taint game for Manchester United, Ferguson and Li Lei as they wanted at the beginning, but Li Lei's unseen goalkeeping style in the game, as well as his four face-to-face scolding McLaren on the sidelines, directly led to the end of the game The content of the game was enough for them to concoct a good news feast.
Although Li Lei did not end up being the MVP in Manchester United's 4-0 win over Myburgh, he was undoubtedly the focal point of the game.
At the last moment before the end of the TV broadcast, watching Li Lei being surrounded by long guns and short cannons that rushed into the field as soon as the game ended, the previous neutral commentator couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid whether you like this young Asian goalkeeper or not, he will be the focus of attention and discussion in the entire English football world for a long time to come." His appearance, his unruly character and behavior on the field, his superhuman ability to offend people, coupled with his unique style of play that is different from other goalkeepers, all of these things add up to an instant public opinion attention comparable to that of Beckham. Look at him, he's already like a big star now......"
It's just that I'm afraid that until now, many people don't believe that Li Lei really hates this kind of "big star" treatment, and thinks that he is just putting on a show, so as to create his increasingly rebellious and unruly business image.
Li Lei also knows a little about this situation. It's just that, just as he now ignores the reporters around him and walks out of the way, although his personality and behavior have changed a lot since he met Ferguson, he is still essentially the rebellious teenager from the ghetto.
"Hey, Lee, what are you talking about?"
"Now what's your response to Mr. McLaren's pre-match remarks?"
"You've run near the touchline four times in the race to meet Mr. McLaren, why did you do that?"
......
In the face of these collective bombardment problems, he was silent, ignored and ignored as he had always been, and walked straight towards Ferguson, who was waiting for him on the sidelines.
It's just that now these media reporters have also learned to be smart, that is, they stick to you like a dog skin plaster, and before Li Lei walked into the players' tunnel, they did not miss any opportunity to "eavesdrop" on Li Lei's speech. Although this makes them look a little embarrassed by the self-proclaimed elites on weekdays, but compared to money, face is nothing.
At this point, Li Lei didn't bother to care about them, and he couldn't let the dog drive these reporters and media away.
He just pretended that these people didn't exist, walked directly to Ferguson, hugged the old man, and whispered in his ear: "BOSS, how about it, I did what I promised." ”
"Scared of the dog?" To this, Ferguson knowingly teased back.
His frivolous eyebrows, looking at the joking smile Mimi frightened the reporters who were firmly following Li Lei, they looked at each other, no one could have imagined when Lord Fu was so good at talking, and Beckham, who was kicked to the Bernabeu by him with a flying boot door, knew, but he was not going to cry.
The outside world has been rumored to have a good personal relationship between Li Lei and Ferguson before, but when they really saw Ferguson's amiable appearance like an old grandfather seeing his grandson, they couldn't help but be surprised.
However, they were surprised to be surprised, their hands would not stop, and the flash light sounded in an instant, filming the rare scene of master-apprentice harmony between Ferguson and Li Lei in public.
These journalists, as annoying as they are in some respects, have to admit that they have an astonishing sense of smell in the field of football journalism. As soon as they saw this scene, most of them immediately thought of the question of Manchester United's main starting goalkeeper who had been hyped by them until now.
I am afraid that this question has already been answered in Ferguson's heart, looking at the scene in front of Li Lei and Ferguson continuing to hug each other and happily whispering something, they are silently thinking in their hearts.
However, just when the reporters were secretly happy that they had found another good news material, the mood of American Howard, who was another contender for the position of Manchester United's main starting goalkeeper, was naturally not much better.
At this moment, Howard, who had already walked near the entrance of the players' tunnel, had a gloomy face, and glanced at Li Lei and Ferguson with resentment and hideousness, before turning around and striding into the players' tunnel with hatred.
That damn Asian! That old man who is partial! Damn it! None of this is fair! It's not fair!!
In the player's tunnel, Howard's facial expression as he strode had been distorted to a somewhat eerie and terrifying one, and the growing sense of crisis was like a poisonous snake that was frantically gnawing at his heart, and he was already about to lose his mental balance.
Before the start of this game, he had actually been expecting Li Lei to make some major mistakes in his heart, so that the wave of criticism of Ferguson's reuse of Li Lei brought by McLaren would continue and even become bigger. Then, he can use this shareholder style to put pressure on the United hierarchy again through his agent, and then at least he can safely keep the starting position under his ass this season.
As for the future, Howard doesn't think it's going to be a problem. As long as he performs well in the rest of the season, even if Ferguson doesn't like him anymore, I'm afraid he can't replace him with Li Lei.
As for the question of whether he can perform well, Howard himself is very confident anyway.
It's just that when the game started, all his illusions were instantly shattered by Li Lei's actual performance. Although Cole and Marlowe, the two newly promoted youth team central defenders, made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, as he expected, he never expected Li Lei to use such an unexpected new style of play to perfectly resolve the crisis of those likely to concede goals.
From that moment on, he began to feel uneasy while sitting on the bench, and his ass was not stable at all as if he had been pricked with a needle. And when Li Lei came to the sidelines to confront McLaren several times in "grandstanding", and Manchester United began to completely knock down Myburgh on the field, the sense of crisis and uneasiness in his heart finally began to transform into jealousy.
He is jealous that Li Lei can be chased by the outside world like a big star, can be favored by Ferguson, can make super saves on the field that he can't do without extraordinary talent, and can also play the kind of new goalkeeper style of play that he can't even imagine...... He was jealous of Li Lei's extremely beautiful side and everything he had at the moment, but he didn't think about the sweat and hardships that Li Lei had paid for it that outsiders couldn't see.
Or rather, he thought about it, but he didn't want to admit it at all.
Jealousy can turn people vicious and insane, and that's what happened to Howard.
I'm not going to give you a starting spot just like that!
Absolutely not!!
You damn Asian!!
Thinking of Li Lei, Howard's face at the moment was like a gloomy poisonous snake.
Ghastly!
Hideous!!
Horrible!!!
