Chapter 108: The Golden Boy Who "Takes Drugs" (3)
Li Lei's small action of whistling at Owen was not noticed by too many people all at once. Liverpool in the stands www.biquge.info still basking in the unsuccessful failure of this threatening attack, and did not see that their darling was being humiliated by Li Lei.
And Owen, who witnessed everything, was full of anger, but finally gritted his teeth and turned his head and walked away, because he was not the kind of character who was looking for trouble.
I'm going to have to score a goal! Certain!! At this time, all he was thinking about was using a goal to hit Li Lei hard.
Li Lei only glanced at the resentful look in his eyes before he turned away, and he knew it. Looking at Owen's not tall back, the corners of Li Lei's mouth raised a cold smile full of deep meaning.
He is very vindictive, but he has not forgotten how Owen arranged him in that TV show. "Unless I'm on drugs", Li Lei couldn't help but sneer at the thought of Owen's sentence that showed his determination to score a goal.
Don't let me down. Li Lei groaned, he prepared a big gift for Owen, it was the right time to take it out just now, but at the last moment he was reluctant.
Offering such a big gift naturally requires a wonderful time, although the whistle just now can be regarded as a suitable opportunity, but Li Lei is not satisfied, he wants to wait for a better time.
And this requires Owen's cooperation, in case Owen is attacked and collapsed by him in advance, then all of this will be empty words. Fortunately, Li Lei did not see any meaning of giving up in Owen's eyes.
This means that he will continue to try to attack Li Lei's door in the next matches, and as long as this happens, Li Lei believes that the right perfect time will definitely come.
It would be nice if that was the case, Li Lei hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was as mad as a cold scimitar.
Li Lei was full of bad ideas, and Ferguson on the sidelines couldn't sit still. Liverpool's continuous threatening counter-attacking attacks made him very dissatisfied.
Although he knew that the centre-back combination of Silvester and Brown would certainly not be as safe as it was in Rio Ferdinand's presence, it should never be that bad.
"Attention! Attention!! Ciel, if you do this again, fucking fuck me off! Hear no?!! There are people who want the opportunity to compete! ”
In this way, Ferguson's hair dryer blew again at Anfield, attracting the attention of a large number of fans and reporters, which is a world-famous Manchester United product.
Apart from Silvestre and Brown, the rest of the United players on the pitch did not get away with it. In the eyes of the Scottish coach, the two Browns are certainly at fault, but others also bear some responsibility. With the exception of Li Lei, there has not been a single Manchester United player on the pitch so far who has been able to satisfy him.
In addition to being so fierce and fierce that it won't make any exception to any of the team's biggest stars, Ferguson's hair dryer is one of the key points for its immediate effect.
This time was no exception, after the restart, not to mention whether the form of the Manchester United players has improved, but at least the attitude has been a lot more positive. When it comes to momentum and toughness, Manchester United have never failed anyone, even against Anfield's Liverpool.
Originally, the morale-boosting Liverpool wanted to do more to help Owen break the goal guarded by the arrogant Li Lei, but they didn't expect Manchester United, who came to their senses, to take them by surprise. They were a little ill-prepared against a suddenly positive Manchester United, which allowed them to take advantage of the opportunity to finish the first shot of the game that threatened Liverpool's main goalkeeper Poland Dudek.
In the 19th minute of the first half, this time Gerrard had just struggled to cut off Scholes' pass back to Keane, and Keane was brought down with a vicious tackle. And, because Keane touched the ball first, Webb didn't blow for a foul yet, and directly let the game continue amid the shrill boos of Liverpool fans.
After regaining the ball, the astute Scholes turned without hesitation and toed the ball over Hamann's head and into the box. In the end, Ruud van Nistelrooy was smart enough to get in front of Carragher to finish with a scramble.
Although this shot did not hit much power, it was better at a tricky angle and hit suddenly. Had it not been for Poland's goalkeeper Dudek's quick reaction to deflect off the far corner, Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot would have given United the lead at Anfield.
"Whew-"
Dudek's world-class save made the Liverpool fans who were shocked into a cold sweat breathe a deep sigh of relief, and immediately encouraged the Poles with warm applause.
Even Li Lei, who stayed in the backfield, had to approve of Dudek's save, to be honest, he really thought that Vanney's shot was there, and he didn't think of killing a Dudek halfway.
"Hey, boy! That's what makes a good goalkeeper! At this moment, a vague and indistinct clamor suddenly came from behind him.
Li Lei looked back in surprise, and he didn't know which excited Liverpool fan shouted, and they all looked very excited. However, he didn't think much about it, and immediately turned his head, now that the game is underway, it is not a good time to find Liverpool fans to fight.
However, he kept this sentence in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curved, interesting!
Although he had the intention of competing with Dudek, after the game restarted, Li Lei did not wait for such an opportunity. Inspired by Ruud van Nistelrooy's threatening shot, Manchester United, who were already superior in quality, finally suppressed Liverpool for the first time since the opening.
Although Gerrard and others are still running tirelessly in the midfield to cut through Manchester United's midfield, which is no longer known as the golden midfield, at this critical moment, Keane, Scholes, Ryan Giggs and other veterans still played a key role in the field, and they completely controlled the midfield with each other's skillful cooperation.
Although Gerrard and other Liverpool players did not give in and occasionally made a few tackles with hard work, their counter-attacks were not as sharp as they were at the beginning.
Liverpool's counter-attacking style of play is simple and monotonous, and under normal circumstances, it is a style of play that requires the accumulation of numbers to cause qualitative change. This style of play may be fine against other Premier League teams who are generally poor in possession, but it will not work so well against Manchester United, who have come to their senses and have a focus on ball control and ground play.
As long as Liverpool's midfield can't break the ball, their attacking power will plummet, and no matter how sharp Owen's speed is, it will be useless.
This is the dilemma that Liverpool are facing at the moment, they have no fighting spirit, but they can only hold back in the back amid the loud cheers of the fans, and they cannot threaten the door of Manchester United.
At this point, the only good news for them is that Ronaldo has not yet matured and integrated into United's attacking system, so that United's current offensive is huge, but it has been slow to penetrate their defence.
As long as the score is still 0-0, they still have a chance.
And Li Lei, who stayed in the backfield, saw his teammates bombarding Liverpool's half, and he hadn't touched the football for a long time, but he didn't dare to relax a little mentally.
After more than 20 minutes of play, he didn't dare to face Liverpool in the slightest. This is a team with a strong will to fight and could bite you at any time, Li Lei said of Liverpool in his heart.
Sure enough, when the game reached the 33rd minute of the first half, his caution proved to be not useless. After more than 10 minutes of being bombarded by Manchester United, Liverpool, who had been struggling to hold on, finally got another great opportunity to counterattack.
It was supposed to be a Manchester United corner, and the two centre-backs, Brown and Silvestre, also gathered in the Liverpool penalty area to participate in the corner, just when the Reds were empty at the back.
Originally, this was not a big problem, but when the football was pushed out of the penalty area, and in the second scramble, Gerrard won the football against Keane's ferocious charge, all these problems were exposed.
"Boom !!"
And when Gerrard rushed to pass the football across the halfway line with a big foot before Keane blocked it again, and Owen also killed in the crowd, so that Phil Neville didn't pull it even if he wanted to, the whole Anfield stadium exploded even more!
With Owen's pace up front, it was a great chance to score. In this stadium, they have seen Owen score a goal in such situations too many times.
When Owen strode away from the football, flashed past O'Shea and Gary Neville, and saw that a great one-on-one chance had already appeared, the Liverpool fans were making a huge noise that seemed to shake the entire Anfield stadium.
At this moment, at least Li Lei felt that the field under his feet was trembling slightly, just like his heart that was beating wildly at the moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ...
In the face of this moment of crisis, his ears were filled with the loud beating sound of his heart.
At this moment, his heart was surging and his blood was surging!
He's excited! Excited for the thrill of this critical moment!!
With the adrenaline eruption, he decisively met Owen, who was rushing forward with the ball. At this moment, he clearly remembered what Richard had handed him before, and in the face of this kind of single knife, a goalkeeper must attack bravely and decisively, and cannot wait passively, because this is the easiest way to die.
Come on!!! By the time he rushed to the vicinity of the big penalty area, he could already see the blazing frenzied killing intent flashing in Owen's eyes, and the assassin's killing intent was already boiling!
Face to face with a very fast striker on the line of the penalty area, one-on-one, this is a life-or-death danger for any goalkeeper! This point, even for Li Lei, is no exception.
After coming to the line of the big forbidden area, Li Lei was very restrained and did not take another step. In the face of a striker like Owen with strange speed and good skill at his feet, if a goalkeeper rushes out of the penalty area to defend, it is not bravery, it is looking for death.
In this extremely unfavorable situation, Li Lei could only make the best choice possible, and then passively accept the move.
Don't shoot in a sling! You've been here!! Get past me!! He's gambling that Owen, who is eager to beat and humiliate himself, won't choose to shoot from a distance, but will take a quick step past himself and then shoot into the empty net, because that's the best way to humiliate a goalkeeper.
But once Owen chooses to shoot, then he can only passively expect Owen to make a mistake in teaching. Even with his physicality, it's hard to make any effective saves on a striker's lob on the line of the penalty area.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Lei deliberately looked directly into Owen's eyes with a provocative gaze, and he was seducing him.
In the end, he won the bet!
After seeing Li Lei's provocative demeanor of inviting him to pass him, Owen's eyes flashed, and he immediately made a decision in his heart. When Owen accelerated forward at the front of the penalty area, one step closer to Li Lei, and lost the best distance to shoot the lob, Li Lei pounced like a hungry wolf in an instant while he was ecstatic in his heart.
Come on!
At this moment, the defensive skills of the centre-backs, who had been trained for a while before the game, came in handy at this moment.
I saw that Li Lei was not like an ordinary goalkeeper facing a striker's single knife, leaning his body, opening his hands and passively waiting for the striker to shoot with a saving posture, but like a central defender, he used his super explosive power, kicked with his right foot, took a step with his left leg, and his body was straight and directly stuck to Owen.
In fact, it is risky for Li Lei to do this. If Owen had seen through his defensive moves, he would probably have been easily breached by Owen's clever shot.
If it weren't for the use of the center-back's defensive prediction, seeing that Owen was going to pull the outside of his right foot sideways with the instep of his right foot, and then accelerate past himself, Li Lei would not dare to post it so rashly, because this is a strange move and a dangerous move.
But if it doesn't work, where does it work?
Just like now, Owen was completely panicked by Li Lei's sudden closeness. He didn't expect Li Lei to eat his shooting feint at all, but posted it so decisively, and the originally excellent shooting opportunity suddenly became dim again.
Damn it! Faced with this situation, Owen gritted his teeth and gambled!
At this time, he was the only Liverpool player near Manchester United's penalty area, and he had nowhere to pass the ball. Moreover, even if the Liverpool players are there, Owen, who has been carried away by the idea of defeating and humiliating Li Lei, may not pass it on.
Seeing that Gary Neville, who was still chasing back with all his might, was about to close in, Owen did not hesitate and decisively launched the next technical move.
He first raised his right foot and shook it, making a feint to shoot. But Li Lei in front of him didn't react at all, staring at himself coldly, and finally got anxious!
The heel of his right foot suddenly followed him and threw the ball from behind him to his left side, and then he was about to force his foot to shoot before Gary Neville could close over.
But he didn't notice that after seeing him make this action, Li Lei's eyes instantly flashed with a blazing essence. It's finally here, and that's what I've been waiting for!
At this moment, Li Lei was like a central defender, relying on his superhuman physical fitness, flexibly using his right foot as the axis to complete the turn, and faced Owen again.
In fact, the quality of Owen's shooting action after the back-heel smash is still very high, not only is it completed quickly and standardly, but also the football is well controlled in a position where Li Lei can't directly step forward to intercept.
His body just blocked Li Lei's one-point grab, and once Li Lei recklessly grabbed it, he would be knocked to the ground by him, thus getting a penalty opportunity.
If you are a goalkeeper who has not practiced the skills of a central defender, I am afraid that most of them will be in Owen's place this time, either recklessly snatching a penalty, or watching Owen complete the shooting action.
But Li Lei is different, he is determined to improve the goalkeeper's style of play, but he has been quite serious about the skills of the central defender for a period of time. Although it hasn't been a long time, after making a judgment, it's still okay to deal with the scene in front of you.
Just when Owen's swinging left leg was about to kick the football, Li Lei was like an orthodox central defender, brazenly completing a standard down-to-the-ground tackle.
Forced to scramble Irving's shot, poke the ball away with his toe, and then hook it on Irving's ankle, tripping him to the ground.
"Penalty !!"
Although all the Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium shouted for a penalty at this moment without seeing what was going on, hoping to put pressure on Webb, Webb, who had worked so hard to come over, saw it clearly and waved his hands to indicate that there was no penalty.
"Shh!!!h
Naturally, this result did not satisfy the Liverpool fans, and their deafening boos and invectives instantly resounded over Anfield, and the huge wave was like a flash flood, which shocked the heart!
When Gary Neville, who arrived in time, hurriedly kicked the football out of the sideline under the pressure of Hesky, Li Lei and Owen, who were still in the penalty area, finally became the focus of attention again.
And when Liverpool fans put their eyes on the Manchester United penalty area, they went straight crazy!
I saw that at this time, Owen was kneeling on the turf weakly, his eyes were blank, his eyelids drooped, his shoulders and hands were hanging weakly, and there was a dark smell of loss and despair all over his body, but Li Lei had already climbed up in good spirits and walked in front of Owen with an excited expression.
Then, suddenly, he pointed his finger at Owen, and after attracting Owen's attention, he suddenly fell on all fours on the turf. Just when everyone was wondering what Li Lei was doing, a picture appeared that made the whole Anfield stadium go crazy with hatred.
Li Lei looked at the sluggish Owen, smiled proudly and wildly, and suddenly lowered his head, leaned against the turf, slanted his face, swept from left to right, and kept snorting hard.
When he was done, he raised his head, revealing a cheerful and high-tide expression.
He is "taking * drugs"!
In an instant, the Liverpool fans who woke up went crazy! Their anger erupted like a volcanic eruption.
How dare he?! How dare you?!! How dare that damn Asian kid!!
"Shh!!!h
At this moment, this boo is so harsh!
So crazy!!
So hysterical!!
But in front of Li Lei, who had already shown a disdainful sneer at this time, he was so weak!
So powerless!!
So desperate and helpless!!
