Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pre-Match Hustle

Given Ferguson and Li Lei's statements at the press conference, it is conceivable what kind of spicy, questioning and even ridiculous reports the annoyed media will write about this, and what kind of sensation these will have in the outside world and fan groups.

For a while, Li Lei, a rookie who has not yet played in an official professional game, has begun to appear in major newspapers and famous football programs in England, and has become the focus of attention. All football-related media are accelerating the consumption of "Li Lei", a nobody's news hotspot.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's consumption. Because no one believes that Li Lei, a rookie who has only received more than half a month of professional training, has a bright future in football, what the media are doing at this moment is to completely hype up Li Lei's short "star career", and then get bigger benefits from it.

In view of this, if the previous media reports were more focused on Ferguson's "stupidity", now Li Lei's "ignorance" and "arrogance" are the protagonists of their reports, and they use a lot of pen and ink and effort to describe and exaggerate the "main course".

And their work has been fruitful. At this time, in addition to the gangsters, Asians, and football rookies, the hottest hot search words about Li Lei on the Internet are arrogant and ignorant. No matter how things develop in the future, at least they have succeeded in completely discrediting Li Lei's first impression of the outside world.

Moreover, this is not a complete single event, with a series of chain reactions. In the heated discussion that has been elicited from Li Lei, not only Ferguson, but also Manchester United Club and Manchester United fans have become the target of ridicule from some others. In some of the most well-known fan forums, Manchester United fans are in a completely passive phase.

In response to the incessant banter and ridicule of other fans, they did little to fight back other than to stubbornly pull out the sign "We believe in Ferguson". Because, even they themselves don't have any confidence in Li Lei, his "own family".

In fact, if it weren't for the respect for Ferguson and the love for the team, many of them might have turned against the water and lashed out at Li Lei on the Internet with other team fans.

Among them, the most active on the topic of Li Lei, in addition to Manchester United's sworn rival Liverpool, is their strongest opponent in the Premier League in recent years, the direct opponent of the Community Shield, Arsenal.

As the competition between Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League intensifies, from Ferguson to Wenger, from Keane to Vieira, and then to the fans of both sides, it can be said that the grudge between Manchester United and Arsenal has risen to the state of national soldiers. In this case, Arsenal, who are aiming to return to the Premier League in the new season, will naturally be happy to add another fire to the already scorched Manchester United.

Although the first head-to-head confrontation between the two sides of the new season will decide only an insignificant Community Shield, if the team can overwhelm Manchester United in the Community Shield, then Manchester United will lay the flag for the upcoming new season. Including the fans will be happy.

Arsene Wenger, who has arrived in Wales and is leading the team to step up preparations, deliberately took time out to give an interview to reporters on Li Lei's issue. In front of the camera, the French coach is obviously in a very good mood recently, and said with a full face: "Mr. Ferguson's approach to Fabian (Butters) is simply unbelievable. He has helped France win the World Cup and the European Championship and is a world-class goalkeeper. Although his form has been up and down lately, it's a natural thing that happens to every player and he doesn't deserve to be treated so unfairly.

Maybe the kid did save Ferguson, but Ferguson shouldn't have used Fabian to reciprocate. Being the head coach of a team is very unfair, even unethical. What will that kid do in the Community Shield? No, I don't think so. If Ferguson does come on the pitch, it's helping us win the game.

I think his Asian boy was added to the squad for the game, and he was already forced to maintain his authority under pressure and doubts from the outside world. That's irrational enough, and it would be stupid to put that kid on the scene again. It's not wrong, it's stupid.

As a person who has been engaged in football for many years, if you believe that an ordinary person who has only received football training for more than half a month can play on the top field, then this person must be unqualified. ”

It can be seen from these words that Wenger deserves to be called a professor. This level of speech can be regarded as brilliant. Although it is said that Ferguson will not let Li Lei play, the provocation between the lines is simply overflowing, as if he is provoking Ferguson and saying, if you have the ability, you want that Asian boy (Li Lei) to play.

While the manager was igniting the ignition for Manchester United and Alex Ferguson, the Arsenal players were not idle. For example, Henry, the king of Highbury, under the guise of speaking up for his compatriot and national team teammate Butters, said unceremoniously to the media: "I want that Asian player to play." Then I'd let Ferguson see for himself what kind of stupid thing he had done. I think Fabian should leave, the club doesn't have any basic respect for him at all. ”

According to the reporter who interviewed Henry, King Highbury was so domineering when he said this that Li Lei was not even a side dish in his mouth. As a result, a report "King Highbury vows to humiliate the Asian kid and cry out for his compatriots" was soon born in the reporter's pen.

At the same time, Patrick Vieira, who is also a member of the French national team, echoed Henry's statement and said unceremoniously: "Ferguson is simply dizzy. He actually replaced Fabian with that Asian rookie. It's as stupid as kicking David Beckham with a shoe. ”

Although the French defender is righteous, I am afraid that only he knows whether Butters is really equated with Beckham in his heart.

With the two French gang leaders in the team, the other Arsenal players were not idle, and expressed their sympathy for Butters, criticism of Ferguson's "dizzy move", and Li Lei's disdain in an interview with reporters.

God knows when Butters has become a mutual friend of the entire Arsenal team, and when Lee Lei has become their common enemy.

In contrast to Arsenal's high-profile and energetic comments, Manchester United's players, who have never bowed their heads in public, have rarely kept a low profile. It's not that they deliberately isolated Li Lei and didn't help him get ahead, but they really didn't know what to say, and they really didn't have confidence and confidence in Li Lei in their hearts.

Whenever they were questioned by the media, they only frequently expressed the confidence of Manchester United in winning the Community Shield. And once Li Lei's name was mentioned in the reporters' questions, they would immediately say a few vague words, and then turn around and leave.

In the Manchester United team, only Ferguson is still supporting Li Lei every time he is interviewed by the media, and strongly refutes the outside world's remarks that Li Lei is a useless thing. It's just that his tough and insistent attitude is considered by the outside world to be protecting his own face, so he stubbornly does not admit his mistakes and does not repent.

Even Manchester United fans, who have always admired Ferguson the most, think so. They all thought that Ferguson had realized his "dizzy mistake" and just refused to admit it.

As a result, no matter how Ferguson expressed his support for Li Lei, there was no improvement in the public opinion environment for Li Lei. He is still under protection, and he can only watch media reporters taunt and ridicule him on TV programs, the Internet and newspapers every day, without even a single evaluation.

However, what reassured Ferguson was that after coming to Wales, Li Lei's mentality was not deranged by the unanimous ridicule and ridicule of the outside world. At least on the surface, there are no mutations worth caring about. This relieved the coach a lot, so that he could devote himself to the team's pre-match preparations.

As for Li Lei, he did not train with the Manchester United players. Instead, he followed Jimmy and Richard, who came to Wales with the team, to do their own tennis training, single-mindedly and without any distractions.

If he is not at all in the comments of the accident world, and he is not angry at all, it must be a lie. Young and vigorous, unruly and unruly, he is not an old monk, how can he not have a little blood, fierceness, even if he is an extreme pragmatist, he must still do it when he should be angry.

What's more, through Cathy deliberately opening his phone, he knew that the media reports had intensified during this period of time, which had made Li Xin'er angry again. With that, he couldn't let go of the media reporters, Arsene Wenger, and the Arsenal players.

However, he will not engage in a pointless verbal argument that does not actually hurt his opponent. His style of revenge against his opponent is to wait patiently for the opportunity, and when the time comes, he will make a decisive move, and give the opponent a merciless blow in the fatal or weak place, so as to completely hurt the opponent and lay down, without spending any more strength and effort.

At that time, he will be very leisurely to provoke his opponent, and enjoy the ugliness of his opponent's powerlessness, hysteria, or complete gaffe.

To tell the truth, this is what Li Lei thinks is the greatest joy of his life. There is nothing else that makes him happier and more enjoyable.

At this time, he was like a beast crawling in the dark, silently accumulating strength, adjusting his state, just waiting for the time to come, give the prey a hard blow, bite off the prey's neck mercilessly, and then enjoy the delicious taste of victory.

While he was training with his head down, the time soon came to the day of the Community Shield. At the Millennium Stadium in Wales, Manchester United and Arsenal fans were already seated, waiting for the first game of the season to officially kick off. Before the game started, and even the players had not even entered the stadium to warm up, the fans of the two teams had already begun to compete with each other.

For a while, loud and noisy singing resounded over the Millennium Stadium for a long time.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's bus arrived at the Millennium Stadium.

On the bus, Li Lei looked at the magnificent stadium in front of him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly bent, bending out a cold arc like a knife.

His eyes froze, and with Sen Han's gaze, a trace of Sen Ran's murderous aura that could not be suppressed began to flow out of him.

In the depths of his cold eyes, there was a terrifying frenzy and excitement.

This is his restless killing intent!

The beast wants to see blood!!

It's going to eat people!!
