Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

Having figured it out, Li Qi no longer cuts blindly, but returns to his normal state, retreating more often to participate in the organization, touching the ball first, and then reducing his presence in the offense, so that Bolton's defense will not focus on him, but on Ronaldo and Tevez!

Li Qi also took the opportunity to think about how to design an offensive that would allow him to complete the final blow, and then guide his teammates' movements through passing the ball. After all, he was the core of the organization in the middle of the field, with all the power in his hands. Oh, no, the ball was at his feet!

The first half was about to enter injury time. After a period of playing with the ball and hiding, Li Qi thought he had successfully diverted the attention of the opponent's defense back to Ronaldo and Tevez, and was ready to start his performance...

In the 45th minute, after receiving the ball in the middle, Li Qi did not cross the ball or make a long diagonal pass as he did before, but chose to pass it diagonally to Saha who was waiting at the top of the pitch.

After receiving the ball, the latter turned around and wanted to go it alone as usual, but after encountering obstacles, he could only stumble and find a receiving point to pass the ball. At this time, Li Qi had already reached the top of the pot and loudly reminded Saha, who was about to be intercepted, to pass back.

After Saha passed the ball back, Li Qi didn't hesitate at all and kicked it to Anderson near the corner of the penalty area on the left wing.

At this time, Bolton's defense line had been attracted and shrunk to the middle, and began to move towards the right. And because Manchester United's offensive this time was all staying at the front of the penalty area, Bolton's defense line also gathered at the edge of the penalty area to prevent Manchester United's long shots.

Anderson wanted to force his way through, but the ball Li Qi gave him was too small. When Anderson stopped the ball, he was forced to turn his back to protect the ball in order to separate himself from the defenders.

The instigator came over to support, so Anderson passed the ball back to Li Qi. Li Qi saw that the opponent's formation was almost mobilized, so he drew his bow and arrow and was about to make a long pass to the far end without stopping the ball, and everyone's eyes followed Li Qi's long pass...

It's Cristiano Ronaldo! He's starting from the right wing and cutting into Bolton's penalty area!

The Bolton players cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" and quickly returned to defense, shrinking into the penalty area and the edge of the small penalty area to guard against Ronaldo's attack.

But Li Qi's ball was not for Ronaldo. It added a little outward spin, passed over Ronaldo's head, and landed outside the penalty area near the sideline...

There was another Red Devils player running in at high speed! It was O'Shea who had been watching the show!

Yes, O'Shea switched positions with Hargreaves shortly after the start of the game, because Sir Alex Ferguson found that Lizzie and Ronaldo had completely suppressed Bolton's left wing, and there was no need for special replacement. Moreover, with Lizzie and Ronaldo on this side, Hargreaves' ability to assist and make connections was completely delayed.

So O'Shea, who has more defensive attributes, was replaced by right back, and Hargreaves, who has stronger comprehensive abilities, was replaced by left back to assist Anderson and Fletcher in offense and defense.

Therefore, this time, O'Shea, who had nothing to do but pass the ball back and no one was paying attention to him, could calmly stop the ball with his chest without being marked, and then he successfully dribbled the ball to the bottom corner of the penalty area, ready to deliver a fatal pass...

At this time, O'Shea has three options. A is to kick a high ball to Saha at the back post or Tevez at the far end, B is to sweep a powerful low ball across the goal for Ronaldo to score, and C!

After passing the ball, Li Qi quickly moved towards the middle of the penalty area, silently saying "C" in his mind! After all, if he called, he was afraid that the ball would not come over, but the defense would come over...

O'Shea is at fault! If you don't know how to play, just choose C! There are so many people in the small penalty area. You are not good at footwork and can't pass the ball to Ronaldo. You have poor vision and can't see the two guys in the far end. Hurry up and pass the ball to them with an inverted triangle!

Then O'Shea really didn't choose A or B, but he also didn't choose C as Li Qi had imagined - the inverted triangle pass. Instead, he directly shot a shot at a nearly zero-degree angle! It went straight to the side net, without even a chance for a follow-up shot or a corner kick...

? ? ! !

(⊙_⊙)

Watching O'Shea nonchalantly joining the defense, Li Qi cursed in his heart: Oh shit! O'Shea, you are so... smart! I shouldn't have brought you to join the offense...

At the end of the first half, Manchester United entered the halftime break with a two-goal lead, but Sir Alex was not satisfied and still hoped that the team could lead by three goals to be safer.

However, in the second half, Bolton almost scored a goal.

In the 52nd minute, Bolton made a quick counterattack. Guthrie passed the ball and Kevin Davis' shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Foster. Then Li Qi, who was returning to defense outside the penalty area, knocked down Joey O'Brien who was the first to protect the clearance ball.

Bolton got a direct free kick opportunity from almost the same position as Ronaldo's free kick goal.

Just as Li Qi was being directed by Foster to form a wall, Bolton's Diouf sneaked in and took a free kick from 25 yards slightly to the right and shot directly into the net.

Fortunately, the referee was fair and just. He required that the penalty kick be given after the whistle was blown, and the goal was ruled invalid. Diouf then shot again, but the ball was firmly caught by Foster.

In the 60th minute, there was a small accident. When Vidic was defending and competing for the header, he was hit on the bridge of his nose by Hunter, who came on as a substitute for Bolton. His nose was bleeding profusely, and Sir Alex had to replace him with Wes Brown.

However, after this little accident, Manchester United got another golden opportunity, and Li Qi finally seized it!

In the 67th minute, Ronaldo almost scored a hat trick.

The situation was not complicated and the routine was very simple. Li Qi and O'Shea teamed up in the backcourt to intercept the ball from Diouf who was trying to take on two opponents at once. Then O'Shea passed the ball to Pique, Pique passed the ball to Wes Brown, Brown passed the ball to Hargreaves, and Hargreaves kicked the ball to Fletcher in the middle.

Starting from Li Qi's pass to O'Shea, Manchester United made six one-touch passes, successfully moving the ball from the right side of Manchester United's half, making a big arc, to the middle of Bolton's half...

After Fletcher stopped the ball in the middle, he did not kick the ball again. Instead, he looked up and observed, then adjusted slightly and sent a precise through pass to Ronaldo who was looking at him. With the cover of Saha, he made a diagonal pass behind Bolton's defense!

First there was a short pass from the teaching staff, then there was the classic straight pass and diagonal cooperation. This attack of Manchester United was so textbook-like and so natural, and then Ronaldo successfully made a solo attack by making an offside!

However, Ronaldo broke through to the top of the penalty area and chose to shoot at Habisi, but the ball was intercepted by the latter's heroic horizontal dive into the penalty area...

However, when Andy O'Brien, who was returning to defense, picked up the ball and was about to clear it, he actually chose to swing his thigh!

So the cunning Li Qi found a golden opportunity through the burst point! Li Qi, who had been following at high speed, kicked the ball from behind O'Brien at the moment when O'Brien swung his thigh, and stabbed the ball away first, and was able to nimbly avoid the latter's kick...

And Bolton was pierced through the city gate for the third time just by a light poke from Li Qi!

Li Qi also celebrated wantonly, covering his ears and running 20 meters. Before he felt Ronaldo was about to pounce on him, he immediately braked to avoid the misfortune of being piled up...

That was a close call! Humph! You want to sneak attack me? I can score a goal without your assist!

Li Qi didn't care that this ball was also a chance for Ronaldo to score a goal...

Just two minutes after Leeds' goal helped Manchester United lead Bolton by 3 goals, Sir Alex Ferguson made a substitution in the 71st minute, replacing two players with Rooney and Scholes respectively, replacing Ronaldo and Leeds, allowing this pair of funny guys to rest together and save their strength for the weekend's Red Devils derby!

In the subsequent games, Manchester United deliberately slowed down the tempo, passing the ball more often between their feet and the midfield to kill time; Bolton was also stunned by Manchester United's sharp counterattack, and seeing that the Red Devils did not move, they were happy to see that if you don't offend me, I won't take the initiative to offend...

The last 20 minutes of the game were indeed lackluster, but Manchester United successfully defeated Bolton 3-0 to end their five-game losing streak, while also achieving four consecutive wins and widening the gap with Arsenal, who are ranked second in the league, by one win!

At the press conference after the game, an overjoyed Sir Alex Ferguson praised the whole team. Although his team did not even have an assist for the three goals, everyone who watched the game knows that Manchester United completely suppressed the visiting team at the team level, and their organization and cooperation were perfect.

One or two assists may seem a little short of the mark, but it doesn't have much of an impact, because Manchester United's current assist data is also unique in the Premier League, even far higher than Arsenal. This is mainly due to Li Qi who prefers to pass the ball to teammates in better positions.

And you wouldn’t know until you count. Once you count, you’ll be shocked. Li Qi has actually provided 19 assists, which is 8 more than the second-ranked Gunners core Fabregas.

Of course, Li Qi's data explosion is also complementary to Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Manchester United's strong organization and offensive capabilities. Although the hit rate of Manchester United shooters this season is not high, they can't stand shooting more!

Creating opportunities, getting into position, and completing shots are all powerful abilities in themselves, and of course accuracy is also a skill; even if accuracy is not good enough, you can make up for it with caliber, oh no, make up for it with frequency, that's the logic...

In addition, what made Sir Alex Ferguson feel doubly happy was that in addition to Arsenal losing points, Chelsea, who ranked third in the league, also lost points.

Another make-up match that was taking place at the same time as Manchester United was held at White Hart Lane in London. It was a London derby between the Blues Chelsea and the Lilywhites Tottenham Hotspur.

This game was full of twists and turns, full of dangers!

Chelsea got off to a dream start in the 3rd minute, almost taking the ball onto the field.

Jenas fouled Essien in front of the penalty area, and Drogba's free kick from 25 yards hit the wall. Then Terry made a cross from the left edge of the penalty area, and Drogba headed in from 6 yards away! This was the 11th goal of the season for the Magic Beast, helping Chelsea lead 1-0.

However, Tottenham equalized the score in the 12th minute. Jenas made a free kick from the right and Woodgate headed in from 8 yards, beating Drogba. In the League Cup final, it was Woodgate's key goal that helped Tottenham win the championship.

However, Chelsea took the lead again in the 20th minute. Joe Cole passed the ball straight to Chimbonda, who was unable to clear the ball in time due to Drogba's interference. At the same time, Essien followed up and shot into the goal from 16 yards against Robinson.

Chelsea then extended their lead in the 52nd minute. Kalou made a cross pass, Joe Cole got rid of Chimbonda on the right side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle. Robinson was unable to save the ball, and it deflected into the far corner.

But Tottenham did not give up and scored two goals in the 61st and 75th minutes.

First, Huddlestone took a corner kick from the left side, and Berbatov headed the ball into the goal from 11 yards, beating Terry; this was the Bulgarian striker's 21st goal of the season.

Then Robbie Keane took a corner kick from the left side, the ball deflected to the far post, and the unguarded Huddlestone shot into the far corner from 12 yards.

Chelsea, a team that has always been known for its headers, had big problems with its air defense today and were able to concede three set-piece crosses to Tottenham.

However, this game seemed to be a test of resilience, as Chelsea once again took the lead in the 80th minute.

Drogba passed the ball directly into the penalty area, Chimbonda made a mistake in the tackle, and Joe Cole shot into the upper right corner from 13 yards to score his second goal. This is the 10th goal of the England's talented midfielder this season.

Just when Chelsea thought they had won the game, the home team Tottenham showed their equally strong resilience and tenacity.

In the 88th minute, Tottenham equalized the score again! In the melee, Robbie Keane shot a curved ball from the edge of the penalty area on the left into the far corner of Chelsea's goal. This was the Irish killer's 22nd goal of the season!

In the end, Tottenham equalized and drew 4-4 with Chelsea, who had lost a good opportunity, thus ending the latter's three-game winning streak in the league.

After the game, Ricardo promptly called Julian, who was preparing for spring break, to discuss the itinerary, hoping that the latter would go directly to the resort of Elche next week to watch the international friendly match between him and the Italian team and the Spanish team...

This year's spring break is quite good. Julianne, Sarafina and Emma Watson all staggered their time together, so they only had one week each and didn't fight with each other! Yes!

But just when Ricardo was feeling happy and preparing to arrange Sarafina's spring break plans, he suddenly received a call from Lapang.

Ricardo, with his snot still bubbling, was still wondering if Sir Alex was going to give him a pay raise and a contract extension, but it turned out to be about the Italian Olympic team's roster, so he checked the news and then communicated with coach Casiraghi...

Ricardo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the latest news report: "Italy insists on sending its youth team to the Olympics, Buffon may miss out while Piero may make his debut"

Of course, Ricardo vaguely guessed that Casiraghi trusted himself too much and was afraid of shaking his core position in the National Olympic Team, so he did not want to recruit those older brothers who might affect unity and his status into the team.

However, Ricardo recalled Argentina's amazing lineup...

Ricardo was immediately overwhelmed. This was different from the previous U19 and U21 games: "Coach, are you too confident or do you trust me too much? It is still necessary for the big brothers to join the team! Why didn't you inform me in advance?"

Of course, as to why Ricardo didn't take the initiative to find Casiraghi?

That's because Ricciardo thinks it's still early, and Casiraghi will definitely come to him in advance...

Casiraghi probably thinks the same thing. It's still early, and Ricardo will definitely find him in advance...

Both of them thought they knew each other very well, after all, they had been working together happily for five or six years!

[After hundreds of revisions, the revised version of Chapter 90 has finally passed the review. Interested readers can go back and take a look: the parts that may be suspected of being slow and difficult to stick to the siege have been greatly deleted, and the statistics of the 05/06 season have been added to prove that the protagonist still has many opportunities to play...

Then three new bad reviews were added, causing the score to drop by another 0.1...

How miserable!

There is no hope in life anymore.

ha? !

The author just discovered that saying "double/red/will" alone can trigger sensitive words? It can't even pass the review?

Would it be okay if we added a Red Derby between the Red Devils and the Red Army?

What's all this?

There is no quantity and you are still picking on me?

Tired! I want to destroy...
