Chapter 199 Renewal of Contract
Loftus Road has become a sea of ​​fun.

Alan Lennon rushed up from behind and climbed onto Li Rui's back. With Alan Lennon on his back, Li Rui started running wildly on the green field.

The sun was setting, but it shone on their youthful faces...they were very happy.

At this time, the whistle sounded for the end of the game. In the press box of the Loftus Road Stadium (Loftus Road), the reporters were also talking about the game that had just ended. The reason why Team Ding is an amateur team has also attracted more media attention.

Although, in the end, the Idin team failed to make history and became the first amateur team to eliminate a Premier League team in the FA Cup since the establishment of the Premier League.

However, as the commentator Taibi of Sky TV said, this amateur team composed of truck drivers, clerks, accountants and porters still won respect. Their performance in this game was far better than 3:0. The score reflects much better.

…………

The turning point of this game was Li Rui's playing. After he played, Leeds United's offense truly reflected the level that a Premier League team should have.

"There is no doubt that he is the best player in this game." The reporter of "The Times" said, looking at Li Rui who was celebrating with his teammates.

"That's right." A reporter echoed, "However, I just don't know how long Leeds United can keep this young man."

The reporter of the "West Yorkshire Post" who heard this sentence was not happy, "I don't think there is any reason for Lee to leave Elland Road."

"That's not sure." The reporter smiled, somehow, seeing this smile, the reporter of the "West Yorkshire Post" felt very uncomfortable.

…………

Li Rui, who came off the bench, scored two goals and provided a beautiful assist, was undoubtedly the best player in the game, which was also the result of the selection by the reporters on the spot.

It was not the first time that Li Rui was elected the best player of the game, so he was already familiar with these procedures.

Li Rui held champagne in his right hand and made a V sign with his left hand, as if he was a model, satisfying the requirements of the reporters for taking pictures.

Finally, after taking the photos, Li Rui walked towards the player tunnel with champagne in his hand. He still felt pain in his ankle. Although he gritted his teeth and insisted on playing just now, it was a moment of excitement and he ignored it. However, now the game It's over, and the team has successfully advanced. Of course, Li Rui has to ask the team doctor to take a look. It's best not to have any serious problems. Now, it's the most difficult time for the team, and Li Rui doesn't want to be absent due to injury.

…………

"Li." A voice sounded from behind. Li Rui turned his head and saw that it was the captain of the Idin team, the central defender Nevin Saloya.

Nevin Saloya had already taken off his jersey, held it in his hand, and raised it towards Li Rui, "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Li Rui quickly took off his jersey and handed it over to Nevin Saloya to exchange. Li Rui was very annoyed by his petty actions, but even so, Li Rui had to admit that the amateur team player in front of him was fully capable of playing professional football, and Nevin Saroya's fighting spirit was also impressive. Respect.

"My daughter is your fan." Off the field, Nevin Saloya didn't look as fierce as he did on the field. This strong man, on the contrary, acted a little shy, perhaps talking about his own life. Daughter, Nevin Saloya seemed in a good mood, "I'll go home and tell her this is your jersey, she will be very happy."

Li Rui saw the happy expression on Nevin Saroya's face when he talked about his daughter. He could even imagine the appearance of a cute blond girl. Li Rui also thought of the lovely Vivian , At this time, Li Rui saw Robert, a reporter from the West Yorkshire Post, walking by, and Li Rui was moved, "Hey, Robert, can you take a photo for us?"

…………

"Happy to help." "West Yorkshire Post" is the official cooperative media of Leeds United Club, and Robert is also very familiar with the stars of Leeds United.

Nevin Saroya also seemed very surprised. He didn't expect that Li Rui would take the initiative to take a photo with him, "Thank you, Li."

"You're welcome." Li Rui said with a smile, "This is for..."

"Kelly." Nevin Saroya hurriedly said his daughter's name beside him, "Kelly Saroya, we all call her little princess."

"Yes, this is for the little princess. I hope she will like it." Li Rui put on the blue jersey of the Yiding team, and stood with Nevin Saroya, who was wearing the white jersey of Leeds United. , Let the "West Yorkshire Post" reporter Robert help the two take a group photo.

"I will bring it to Leeds United for an interview next time. As for Nevin Saloa, I will send it." Robert said after taking the photo.

…………

Li Rui thanked Robert, and chatted with Nevin Saroya for a while. When they parted, Li Rui asked Nevin Saroya, "Mr. Saroya, are you a truck driver?"

Nevin Saroya nodded, "Actually, our entire team works part-time. My truck driver, Karl is a dentist, and Nekron is a porter..."

"This is really remarkable." Li Rui said in admiration. This is not a compliment. If you don't know, just look at the performance of the Eden team before the deadlock was broken. It should at least be at the level of a Championship team. .

"Thank you." Nevin Saloa was also very happy to receive heartfelt praise from the Premier League's current popular rookie, "Guys will be very happy if they know what you said, hehe, of course, after this game, We have a bonus of 20, which is enough to pay the rent of our stadium for half a season."

Li Rui was also a little emotional. It was hard to imagine that such an amateur team, which was struggling even with the rent of the stadium, actually made it to the third round of the FA Cup.

"Actually, you can play professional football." Li Rui said from the bottom of his heart.

Nevin Saloa just smiled and didn't answer. It's not that he didn't try to go to some professional teams for trial training. Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory.

At this time, Leeds United assistant coach Gustavo Poyet was already calling everyone back to the locker room, Li Rui also shook hands with Nevin Saloya again to say goodbye.

…………

The fans of Leeds United have gradually left the stadium. After all, the game was played at a neutral stadium. The fans of Leeds United have to hurry back to Leeds. Of course, there are still some happy fans staying near the stadium. They kept singing the team song of Leeds United, waving the scarves of Leeds United in their hands, singing and dancing.At this time, it belongs to the fans, to be precise, it belongs to the fans of Leeds United. .

In the dressing room of Loftus Road Stadium, Leeds United players are celebrating, although it is only a knockout game in the third round of the FA Cup, and the opponent is an amateur team, but , This does not affect the enthusiasm of the players to celebrate. After all, Leeds United has not experienced such a big victory score of 3:0 for a long time, let alone this game, it is not easy to win.

…………

In the VIP box in the stands, the owner of Leeds United, Old Stubbs, watched the fans leave the field one after another, and the players returned to the dressing room. He glanced at his son: "Let's go, Paul, Come with me to see the players."

Paul Stubbs was stunned. This was not in the plan, but he still nodded. On the one hand, he didn't want to reject his father, and on the other hand, he also wanted to meet these players.

"Well, I also want to see these players you think can bring championships." Paul Stubbs said with a smile, "That Chinese player is not bad."

Old Stubbs stopped and looked at his son. He knew that his son had something to say. He heard Paul Stubbs say, "I think he is Kaka of our Leeds United."

The old Stubbs smiled and patted his son on the shoulder. It seems that Paul Stubbs still admires Li Rui very much. You know, Kaka joined AC Milan with a worth of 800 million euros, but, Now, half a season later, the youngster's worth has at least doubled.

…………

When there was still some distance from the door of the locker room, the two heard the noise coming from inside.

Paul Stubbs stopped in his tracks. He stood in a bathroom at the corner of the corridor, looked in the mirror, checked his appearance, and adjusted his tie. He felt satisfied before walking back to Old Stubbs Si's side.

Old Stubbs nodded in satisfaction. This was the first time he introduced his son to the team, so it would be better to be more formal.

Old Stubbs stood at the door of the locker room for two seconds before pushing the door open.

The players who were still boisterous all of a sudden quieted down, and they all quietly looked at the two people who came in——
One is the owner of the club, of course the players know him, but the man in his 30s next to the owner, no one knows who it is.

However, everyone did not open their mouths to ask. Although the locker room is relatively 'mysterious', since the club owner decided to bring a stranger in, there must be a suitable reason.

…………

"Well, Paul and I are here to congratulate you, you have done a great job..." Old Stubbs paused, "Let me introduce, this is Paul Stubbs, my son, he is also The new president of the club."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. The chairman of the club had changed. There was no sign of this at all before. However, surprises were nothing but surprises, and no one cared too much. After all, this is a matter of the club's senior management, and it has nothing to do with everyone's influence. Great, the captain Albertini is not here, the team vice Gary Kelly is the boss of the locker room, he took the lead in applauding, and welcomed the new chairman of the club.

In the following time, Paul Stubbs was also a routine, encouraged the players, said some words of encouragement, and then shook hands with every player, which was regarded as a meeting.

"Li, I know you." Paul Stubbs said when he shook hands with Li Rui.

"It's nice to meet you." Li Rui was also wondering in his heart, and said to himself, you are the chairman of the club, and it's not unusual to know the names of the players on your team. Of course he didn't know, Mr. Chairman meant something else up.

*************
Li Rui, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in a cafe in London. He came to the Chinese embassy in the UK to handle some matters, and then met his agent Rodriguez by the way.

Rodriguez has just returned from Uruguay. He found a good young player in Uruguay in the second half of last year. After a lot of hard work, he finally got along with the name Luis Alberto Suarez The 17-year-old player signed a contract. This time, he went back to deal with Suarez. Uruguay's domestic first-tier team, the national team, took a fancy to Suarez and planned to introduce this 18-year-old teenager.

"I'm a trapeze person now." Rodriguez complained as soon as we met. The most famous player under Driggs, Li Rui's contract renewal has also reached an impasse, and Suarez is about to start playing in the Uruguayan First Division. Busy contacting new clubs.

However, now, of course, Rodriguez's work is still focused on Li Rui's contract renewal, or in other words, possible transfer matters.

…………

"Is the weekly salary of 5 pounds too high?" Li Rui was shocked when he knew that Rodriguez asked the club for a weekly salary of 5 pounds.

"After tax!" Rodriguez deliberately added, "Li, I don't think the price is outrageous. In my opinion, this is what you deserve for your contribution to the team. Of course, It is a bit difficult for Leeds United to agree to this salary now, but if the two parties make a compromise, I think around £4 should be reasonable."

"Will this cause some unhappiness between the team and me?" Li Rui frowned. In fact, he was not used to being a star, or he was used to it on the court, but off the court , not yet used to it, Li Rui originally thought that the club would offer him a weekly salary of 2 pounds, which he could accept, but Rodriguez directly told Li Rui that this was an 'insulting price tag' However, to be honest, although Li Rui thinks that 2 pounds is acceptable, he still feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks that his salary is only half of Alan Smith's.

"No." Rodriguez said, "This is a normal bargaining, it's normal, the club wants to pay less, we want more, it's normal."

"Whatever." Li Rui was relieved when he heard that it would not affect his relationship with the club, and he didn't bother to bother with it. He didn't want to be upset because of this matter, "I'll leave it to you anyway, just let me know if you need anything gone."

…………

After talking about the contract renewal, Rodriguez took out some intentional contracts from his briefcase and showed them to Li Rui. This is a somewhat interesting commercial contract. At the same time, Rodriguez also considered Considering the image problem of the advertisement itself, I thought it would not have any negative impact on Li Rui's image, so I discussed it with Li Rui for a while. If there is no problem, I can discuss substantive cooperation over there.

"Oh...God." Li Rui held his head in pain. He realized that he was really not an economic animal. He felt dizzy when he saw these numbers. During the college entrance examination, Li Rui's math scores were not good.

"These are a lot of euros..." Rodriguez pushed the intention contract in front of Li Rui, his tone was like a demagogic wizard.

*************
The window of the winter transfer market has been open for more than a week, but there is still no news on Leeds United's official website that there are any players to be introduced.

No players came, but two players were sent away. Last summer, Leeds United introduced free forward Julian Joachim and central defender Clarke Carlisle. After two seasons, he finally chose to leave. Among them, Julian Joachim played 10 minutes off the bench in the first round of this season. After that, he only played against Wolves in the League Cup. However, Leeds United lost in these two games, and Julian Joachim's performance also disappointed Leeds United coach Eddie Gray.

As for the player himself, he doesn't want to sit down on the bench at Elland Road, just because Li Rui's sudden attack, as long as there is no injury, he will occupy a starting position, and Alan Smith has also booked another starter The forward position, so Julian Joachim really couldn't see any hope, so he applied for a transfer.

Julian Joachim moved to Sheffield Wednesday for £20. It can be said that Leeds United made a small fortune. As for central defender Clarke Carlisle, he paid £25. The price of sterling was transferred to the Royal Garden Rangers. It can be said that Leeds United has gradually begun to show people its careful calculations in the transfer market.

…………

"Fernando, come to Leeds United, create new brilliance with us, shut up all those who doubt you, and let Florentino regret his decision." In the 23rd round of the league, before the away game against Aston Villa, Leeds United coach Eddie Gray did not appear on the training ground. He is now in the beautiful Spanish island of Mallorca.

However, he didn't come to enjoy the beach and beautiful women, he came to invite a player to join Leeds United.

Morientes is on vacation in Mallorca, but his heart is not easy. Last season, he was loaned to Morocco by Real Madrid. Morientes helped Morocco finally reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, just when Morientes thought his performance in Monaco would impress Florentino, Morientes insisted on returning to Real Madrid when the loan expired. Luentes found that at the Bernabeu, he was still the one Florentino didn't like.

Now, the 2004-2005 season has entered the winter break, and Morientes's career seems to have entered the cold winter ahead of schedule. He has to think about leaving the Bernabeu again. The difference is that He now chooses to leave on loan or leave Real Madrid permanently.

Of course, Morientes is very clear that the top management of Real Madrid definitely hopes that he will choose to leave permanently. When the club top management talked with him, they even implicitly stated that if a certain club takes a fancy to him , Real Madrid will not set up artificial obstacles on the transfer fee, the implication, in a word——
As long as there are still people who want you, we will definitely cooperate, and the transfer fee is negotiable.

The attitude of the club also completely broke the heart of Morientes, Real Madrid's "own man", and also prompted him to finally make up his mind to leave the Bernabeu...to leave completely...

…………

Morientes is a bit strange. How would the head coach of Leeds United think of inviting him to join? In Morientes' plan, such an unknown team is not considered at all. Indeed, Leeds United is in A few years ago, he had entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, but what does this mean? Morientes knows a lot about this short-lived team.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gray, thank you for your kindness." Morientes still decided to decline the invitation of Leeds United coach. Of course, Eddie Gray was able to come to Spain to invite himself, which made Morientes very happy. Touched, he knows that there is no winter break in the Premier League. Just now, the head coach of Leeds United "unintentionally" revealed that Leeds United will have an away game in the Premier League this weekend. Under such circumstances , Being able to leave England and come to Spain still shows the sincerity of Leeds United, so Morientes was still a little moved.

"I have accepted Mr. Benitez's invitation." Morientes still told the truth. In fact, last summer, Benitez, who had just taken the position of Liverpool's head coach, asked Morientes sent an invitation, but at the beginning, Morientes still dreamed of staying in Real Madrid, hoping to prove himself, but after half a season, Morientes finally understood that the Bernabeu could no longer accommodate himself Yes, and at this time, Benitez called again in person, and solemnly extended an invitation to Morientes again.

For a giant team like Liverpool, Morientes is still acceptable. In addition, Liverpool's head coach Benitez is also Spaniard, which is one of the reasons why Morientes moved.

…………

'Damn Liverpool. 'Eddie Gray cursed secretly in his heart. He didn't have any good feelings for Liverpool. Leeds United was double-killed by Liverpool this season. This was a dull pain in Eddie Gray's heart. In the transfer market, he was also won by Liverpool.

"Fine then. I respect your decision," said Eddie Gray. "It's a pity, I have to say, we're a club with big ambitions."

However, Morientes obviously doesn't care what the Leeds United coach said, he has decided to go to Liverpool.

Eddie Gray looked a little frustrated, "Okay, goodbye, Fernando, this is a small gift."

Morientes accepted the gift with a smile. It was in a black box. He didn't know what was inside. Whatever it was, he thought, anyway, there will be no relationship between me and this team. .

*************
Just when the head coach of Leeds United returned to the humid and cold England from the beautiful Spanish port with some frustration, he found that in Leeds, he was not going well.

In other words, it's annoying.

On January 1th, there were small snowflakes in the sky in Leeds.

The "Yorkshire Post" suddenly broke an amazing news, which immediately attracted the attention of Leeds United fans. Almost everyone went to the newsstand to buy a copy, looking at the news on the front page with a serious face, occasionally He would swear and swear a few words.

"The Ruble Army invites Li, and Stamford Bridge waits for the Chinese kid to join"

"According to the latest news, Chelsea has offered Leeds United a £1800 million offer to introduce Leeds United's Chinese striker Li Rui. Scored 14 goals, which also makes Chelsea coach Mourinho appreciate it... It is reported that Stamford Bridge offered Li Rui a weekly salary of 5 pounds, which is enough to show the sincerity of the London team. Knowing that Li Rui's weekly salary at Leeds United is only 8000 pounds, Li's first choice is to renew his contract with the club, but the two sides have not been able to reach a consensus, and the reality is that this huge income gap has also prompted Li Rui is seriously considering this transfer invitation..."

…………

The fans of Leeds United were shocked by this news. Everyone knows that this season, Leeds United can rank in the middle of the Premier League, beat Manchester United away, draw with Arsenal at home, and take away 1 point from Stamford Bridge... The Chinese boy's Performance is undoubtedly the key... Now, fans of 'White Rose' have regarded Li Rui as an important member of Leeds United's revival...

But now, Li Rui is very likely to leave, which can not help but shock Leeds United fans, and according to the situation in this report, even if Li Rui finally leaves Elland Road Stadium, Leeds United fans seem to be unable to really blame this Chinese boy.

"The Cockneys offered £5.5, but Lee now only has £8000! This is simply forcing the players to make a choice."

"It's me, and I'll go to London too."

"Why isn't Stubbs giving Lee a raise? What is he doing?"

…………

Even the fans are almost on Li Rui's side. This is also a question of Western values. No one will shy away from money. In Western values, how much ability you have, you can earn as much money. This is a matter of course. Yes, but, obviously, Li Rui's contribution to Leeds United is far more than the 8000 pounds that this poor man received...

Of course, the fans support those players who are sincere to the team, but they also know that if you want the horse to run, but don't feed the horse, you can't keep the top stars. Besides, I performed well and got a high salary , shouldn't it?

In addition, in the eyes of the fans, players are individuals, and compared to the behemoth of the club, they are obviously weak. Human beings have the psychology of sympathizing with the weak, which also prompts most of the fans to stand on Li Rui's side. Of course, The fans did not agree with Li Rui's transfer, but put pressure on the club, demanding that the team give Li Rui a salary increase and keep this promising young man...

…………

In one day, the phone calls of the Leeds United club were almost exploded, and they were all called by angry fans, asking, where did the ticket and broadcast income from the club go?Why don't you give Li Rui a raise? Do you really want to see Li Rui being poached by Cockneys waving rubles?
All of a sudden, the external relations department of Leeds United Club was also in a state of desperation...

So, Eddie Gray has just returned to Leeds from Spain, and the sky is full of stories about Li Rui's contract renewal being stranded and his possible transfer to Chelsea...

*************
The behind-the-scenes operator of all this is naturally Li Rui's manager Rodriguez.

However, in the face of the questioning call from Li Rui, he said to Li Rui, "Since you have left the matter to me, you should trust me, and, look, I didn't say anything Lie, your current weekly salary is indeed 8000, I just revealed some figures to the media..."

Li Rui also smiled wryly for a while. What could he say? The reason why Li Rui angrily called to question him when he heard the news was mainly because he was worried that the report would make the club think that he was playing tricks, which would affect himself and others. team relationship.

However, Rodriguez comforted Li Rui and said that it would not affect his relationship with the team, "Don't worry, Li, this is the rule in this circle, everyone does this, no one will really blame the players Above all, this is just a bargaining strategy between the two sides. Besides, the Leeds United club also knows that, in fact, yes, you don’t want to transfer, and the team also wants to keep you. So, it’s just a price that can’t be negotiated It's just a negotiating tactic, no one cares, it's the rules of the game between the agent and the team."

Li Rui was overwhelmed by Rodriguez's tirade. He had never encountered such a thing. After asking his agent repeatedly and confirming that it would not affect his relationship with the team, Li Rui also Too lazy to bother.

…………

In addition, what worries Li Rui is that he is afraid of hearing doubts from the fans, and he is afraid of hearing fans ridiculing him as a guy who only cares about money. He took off his vest and entered the Leeds United fans forum. In the forum, he saw that he also received the support of the fans.

Just like during the labor movement, supporting workers to avoid excessive exploitation and asking for salary increases, fans also posted posts on the forums, asking the club to raise their salaries, and some excited fans even proposed to protest at the gate of the club.

This also moved Li Rui very much. Only then did he truly appreciate the difference in values ​​between the East and the West and the different effects it brings.

Li Rui is sure that in China, if a player asks the club for a salary increase and says he wants to transfer and leave, if the fans and the media find out, this player will definitely be criticized by the media and fans as a money-greedy guy, and will be criticized .

In the end, there were only two results. This player left in despair, and no team would want him anymore, because he committed a big taboo. Either, this player, in front of the media, told everyone Confession, expressing that I was only fascinated by ghosts for a while, and asked for forgiveness from the team, fans, media, etc., as if I was asking for a salary increase, and I am sorry for all mankind. In the end, the team adheres to the principle of "people-oriented, lenient treatment" In principle, accepting the lamb who 'gets back from the wrong way'...

"It's really a blessing to be able to play football abroad..." Someone said with emotion.

…………

As soon as Laudiwen saw Rodriguez, he complained, "Robbie, you are bad enough. Now, in the hearts of the fans, the club has become Grandet."

"I was just telling the truth..." Rodriguez did not deny that the report had something to do with him. A fairly honest impression.

"The distance, the winter transfer window is closed, and there are only ten days left. I also want to help Li think about it." Rodriguez said.

Lao Diwen glanced at the agent impatiently, meaning that you stop pretending, can you really transfer?

Rodriguez shrugged calmly, meaning, wait and see if you don't believe me.

…………

This time, Lao Diwen felt a little bit drummed in his heart. The club did receive an offer for Li Rui, but it was not Chelsea, but a La Liga team with an offer of 1700 million euros... Generally speaking, this It's just a tentative offer. If it is finally sold, it will be higher. Therefore, it can still be seen that the Spanish team is still very sincere.

The club's new chairman, Paul Stubbs, also expressed concern about Li Rui's transfer. He and Lao Diwen have already discussed this issue, and have a new understanding of the bottom line of the negotiation.

This also made Lao Diwen very satisfied. What he saw was an attitude, which showed that the new chairman, the son of the old Stubbs, seemed to pay more attention to the development of the team. Moreover, the two also communicated and discussed the future development direction of the club. It can be said that both parties have benefited a lot.

…………

Laudiwen made a cup of coffee by himself, and helped Rodriguez make another cup of coffee. Rodriguez still shouted, "Add another cube of sugar, the instant one is not sweet enough." '

"Okay." Lao Diwen handed the coffee to Rodriguez, of course, there is no sugar cube. "I think we can sit down and have a good talk. I believe that we should be able to reach a consensus acceptable to both parties."

"That's what I hope too." Rodriguez said with a smile. However, in Lao Diwen's eyes, this smile was really not very friendly.

…………

Li Rui turned over and let himself lie face up on the sofa, then stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He seems to be on the ceiling of the grid, like numbers, Rodriguez and the club, the numbers that you say and say.

Although Li Rui didn't want to worry about this matter, it would still be somewhat affected. Although it wasn't because he fell into the eyes of money, he still couldn't achieve the state of treating money like dung.

Stomach growled, and Li Rui touched his stomach, feeling depressed for a while. The old habit of being hungry easily could not be changed. He opened the refrigerator and found that the nuts, preserved fruits and so on that he bought a few days ago were gone. was wiped out by itself.

'It seems that I can only eat white bread. Li Rui wailed. At this time, the phone rang. He looked at the phone number and saw that it was from his agent Rodriguez. Li Rui couldn't care less about being hungry. There are results.

"Hi, Li." Rodriguez's voice came from the other end of the phone, "If you haven't had dinner yet, I think we need to have dinner and celebrate."

…………

On January 1, the Leeds United Club held a press conference and announced that the team's Chinese striker Li Rui reached an agreement with the team on the renewal of the contract. After the contract renewal, Li Rui's weekly salary reached 14 pounds , second only to the team's highest annual salary of Alan Smith's 3.5 pounds, and the team captain Albertini's salary is also the same.

This also marks that Li Rui has officially entered the middle class of professional players... Or, in a sense, it also shows that a player has begun to win the initial respect... Although, to measure this by salary, It seems a bit vulgar...

…………

A day later, the Leeds United team came to Birmingham, England's second largest city. At Villa Park, Leeds United beat Aston Villa 1-0.

In the 39th minute of the game, after receiving a cross from Ian Hart from the wing, Li Rui stopped the ball with his chest, leaned on Aston Villa defender Mellberg, and picked the ball to the right After turning sideways, he turned around suddenly, and Bambi, who had also inserted the football, came over. Li Rui directly stopped the ball with his chest, unloaded the football, and took advantage of the situation to avoid Aston Villa defender Delaney's attack. Going up, pulling the ball horizontally, and volleying directly, the football went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Aston Villa goalkeeper Sorensen couldn't even make a save...

Li Rui also used a beautiful goal to prove to everyone that he is fully worthy of every penny the club paid for him...
