Chapter 288
"Hey, big man, what do you think of me singing?"
"Not bad."
"Haha, of course. I don't lose to anyone more than rock 'n' roll. Big man, what do you do? ”
"Soccer player."
"Rugby? You look strong. ”
"No, soccer."
"Oh, I don't know much about the sport. Hey, do you like ice hockey? In Canada, everyone loves ice hockey. ”
......
Looking at the clear blue sky and white clouds outside the plane, Li Lei shook his head, interrupting the memory of his conversation with Avril last night, feeling that he must be stunned, otherwise, how could he be so unforgettable with the strange girl he had just met all night.
This is the first time in Li Lei's life experience that he has felt this way. Therefore, he didn't know that this feeling was not a shock, but a heartbeat.
Of course, this can't be blamed for his ignorance of human feelings, for Li Lei, who had to work for himself and his sister a year ago, in the slums, and mixed up in the invisible dark side of society, love is really a luxury that he can't usually touch.
And once something like love sprouts, but you can't get it, it's a kind of sorrow and hardship. Even Li Lei, who is still ignorant of the relationship and has not noticed it in the slightest, is the same.
"Hey big man, here's my private number. Hopefully we can keep in touch in the future, bye-bye! ”
After turning on his mobile phone and reading the last text message that Avril sent him before boarding the plane and leaving London this morning, Li Lei couldn't help frowning slightly.
He didn't like the feeling in his heart right now, this strange feeling that he couldn't control. But whether he likes it or not, this is the reality, and it is the stage that everyone must go through in the process of getting in touch with love. This will not be transferred for anyone's will, which naturally includes Li Lei.
"Hey, boy, what's wrong with you? Since you went back to the hotel last night, you have been a little abnormal, has something happened? By the way, where did you go last night? When we were going back to the hotel, we found that you were in the nightclub. Seeing him like this, Keane, who was sitting next to him, suddenly leaned over and asked.
Li Lei immediately closed the cover of the mobile phone without changing his face, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, maybe I haven't rested well." I'll sleep for a while and I'll be fine. ”
After dealing with Keane, Li Lei took a deep breath and put the phone back in his pocket, closed his eyes and rested. He may not know what to do with his emotions and thoughts at the moment, but there is one thing that he is very conscious.
No matter how you look at it, Avril looks like he's just been a passerby in his life for the time being, and he's not comfortable enough to be distracted by other things, and continuing to train hard, play hard, and cement his place as United's starting goalkeeper is his number one priority.
And at the same time that Li Lei began to rest on the plane, the match between them and Arsenal that had just passed began to exert its impact.
Originally, the FA Cup semi-final should not have caused much public repercussions, although it was played by Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea, but this time it was different. Because, it marks the official end of Arsenal's treble dream this season.
You must know that not long before this game, the slogan of Arsenal's treble had just been shouted, but I didn't expect it to be stopped after only one game and it was announced. Such a drastic change will naturally attract a lot of hype from the outside world and the media.
Among them, the photo of Li Lei covering his No. 13 jersey in the center of Highbury Stadium during the game was wildly quoted by the media, and appeared in the headlines of many newspapers, including The Sun and The Times.
In the content of the report, Li Lei was also mentioned repeatedly. As the only player in the post-match rating who was scored more than 9 points on both sides, Li Lei was labeled as the "Arsenal Treble Dream Terminator" by the media.
In the midst of this, a report in The Times wrote: "Ferguson's side have been far from excellent at Highbury, and despite the fact that the players on both sides are at odds with each other, the basic trend of Manchester United being inferior to Arsenal in overall quality this season has not changed." Throughout the game, apart from Giggs' goal, Arsenal had the upper hand in the game. And that's not surprising, as almost everyone thought that way before the game. ”
Unexpectedly, though, Lee turned the game around with his incredible performance. Although this is not the first time he has put in such a performance this season, we still have to pay tribute to his performance. You must know that he is only 20 years old, and he is far from the age when a goalkeeper is truly mature, and his future really has to be imagined. ”
Arsenal, on the other hand, had to accept that they had been proud of this season, outperforming the attacking crowd of the entire European football world, and once again crushed in front of the young Asian goalkeeper, and the dream of a treble was shattered. Perhaps, they could argue that if Ljungberg's shot hit the crossbar hadn't been so unlucky, they would have at least taken the game to Old Trafford. But, whether they like it or not, they have to accept the reality that the Asian goalkeeper they hated so much beat their team today and crushed their dream of a treble. ”
"With an offensive plan that ended up in a goal, countless goalmouth saves and world-class saves, there's no doubt that Lee is the conqueror tonight in Highbury! Terminator!! ”
Of course, in addition to some serious and fair discussions, there is naturally some ridicule and satire that add fuel to the shattering of Arsenal's treble dream.
The main force behind this is undoubtedly Arsenal's sworn rivals Tottenham Hotspur and their current Champions League semi-final rivals Chelsea.
Leaving aside Tottenham's motive for hating their sworn enemies, the reason why Chelsea are here is also a well-known reason. It is nothing more than trying to disrupt Arsenal's morale and build up strength for the second leg of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals.
And, in the end, they did exactly what they wanted. Although I don't know how much credit was given to this pre-match battle of public opinion, the final result was indeed that they successfully turned the tables at Highbury with a score of 2:1 and eliminated Arsenal from this season's Champions League.
In just four days, two consecutive defeats have left Arsenal's dream of a perfect treble a week ago with only one league title that they have almost already reached.
There is no doubt that this is a blow to the ambitious Arsenal team.
Ferguson House, late.
Now it's fun!
Looking at the Arsenal players and fans who were increasingly lost and silent by the frantic celebration of the Chelsea players on the TV screen, Li Lei, who watched the whole game, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He knows that in the minds of the vast majority of Arsenal fans and Arsenal players, the question of who caused them to be so depressed now will definitely be counted on him and Manchester United.
However, he did not feel the slightest trouble about this, but was interested and looking forward to it. Because, in the rest of the season, there is a direct meeting between Manchester United and Arsenal in the league, how will Arsenal perform then......
Interesting!
I don't know what I thought, the corners of Li Lei's mouth immediately curved a small arc.
It's his trademark disdainful sneer, and it's full of all sorts of meanings.
There is a bad taste.
There is disdain.
There are expectations.
Of course, it's also cold!
Resolutely cold and cold!!
