What's the allusion to Yi Lee's joke about protecting the ball like Henry?

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yi is the most popular person in China football on the Internet. On the Internet, the title of "Li Yi the Great" can be on an equal footing with "Sister Furong". It is conceivable that it can be compared with Sister Furong, and the title of "Li Yi the Great" is by no means a compliment.

There is a saying that nowadays people don't say "Have you eaten?" Instead, I asked, "Are you Li Yi today?" . There is also a widely circulated joke. A reporter interviewed Fan A: "How do you spend your days?" Answer: "Eat and sleep and scold Li Yi." Interview with fan B, the answer is also "eat and sleep and scold Li Yi". Finally, the reporter interviewed another person, and the answer was "eat and sleep". The reporter asked, "Why don't you scold Li Yi?" The man replied, "I'm Li Yi." Everyone called Yi Lee names. China's football level is low, and his grades are poor. Everyone is responsible. Why did you scold the single Li Yi so fiercely?

The reason why many media and fans blame and curse Yi Lee without mercy or even infinite exaggeration has nothing to do with Yi Lee's own football level. Many people in the national team and Li Yi's club team are not as good as Li Yi. As a striker, Li Yi, who is healthy and fast, achieved good results in the club team several years ago. In 2003, he also crossed the "golden boots" of the league with Ayou, but in the national team, Li Yi always couldn't find the state. Not only does he rarely score goals for the national team at critical moments, but even an ordinary striker can't fulfill his obligations.

The volcano-like "All People Scold Li Yi" activity began on May 25th this year. Shenzhen Jianlibao team won Shui Yuan's Samsung in AFC Champions League, and Li Yi performed well in the competition. His containment in front is very useful. After the game, Li Yi, who was full of blood, proudly said to the reporter who interviewed him, "Is my ball control protection like Henry?" This sentence flew all over the Great Wall, the Yangtze River and the Beijiang River overnight, and the listeners were all amazed and then cursed. Li Yi was intoxicated with the joy of victory before waking up, and all kinds of angry scolding voices came from all corners. Someone turned his head and published the biography of Li Jue the Great on the Internet, which was written in imitation of Historical Records. Others linked Li Yi with Sister Furong, a popular "internet star", and wrote a cross talk "When Li Yi the Great Met Sister Furong". Some people even wrote many songs, allegro, jokes, letters and even novels with Li Yi as the protagonist, which was extremely ironic and sarcastic.

People can't forget Yi Lee's "I protect the ball like Henry", just as they can't forget another sentence he said before, "It's dawn". In the entanglement between Shenzhen Jianlibao players and head coach Chi Shangbin in the first half of the year, Li Yi and Li Weifeng attracted much attention because they were suspected to be "ball tyrants". After the loser Chi Shangbin was expelled from the club, Li Yi became the focus again because of a misty "Dawn". In fact, Li Yi can be regarded as a "two-ball bully" in the Shenzhen team at most, but when he said "Dawn" to the TV camera, he suddenly became a "ball bully" on the cusp. From then on, Yi Lee was not only a person with poor skills, but also a person with moral problems.

After more and more abuse, being scolded by the public may be unbearable. Yi Lee once explained his original intention of "protecting the ball like Henry". He said: "fans may think I am too crazy to compare myself with Henry!" Actually, how can I put it? At that time, our team won a close game, and I was inevitably carried away. I didn't say it on impulse. Over the years, Henry's most impressive technical action is his protection of the ball, and I have been imitating him. If I say Henry is my idol, I'm afraid no one will laugh at me. Or to put it another way,' I should protect the ball like Henry', I believe everyone will think-this is the attitude that a China striker should have. " No matter how sincere the explanation is afterwards, it won't help. Few people are willing to listen to Yi Lee's explanation, and even if they do, few people take it to heart. What people are most interested in is ignition.
