Chapter 225 Entering Europe!

Leeds United played against Southampton 3:3 at their home stadium Elland Road. The two sides scored a total of 6 goals, which made the fans in front of the TV very addicted. I'm happy with Li Rui's recovery. The fans also understand football. They know that for this 20-year-old boy, ups and downs are normal. However, after all, the FA Cup final is coming soon. Fans We are also anxious, now that Li Rui seems to be back, on the one hand, he is happy, but on the other hand, he is worried, but don't let the roller coaster performance happen again, I hope Li Rui's state can be maintained.

Now, everyone knows that Li Rui's state directly determines the attack power of Leeds United, so Li Rui's performance makes the fans even more worried.

…………

There are only two games left in Leeds United's league this season. They are the penultimate round against Birmingham at home. In this game, Leeds United's defense will have to withstand Birmingham's Heskey and Pandiani. The impact of the striker combination is also a test for Leeds United's defense. After Pandiani came to Birmingham, his performance was eye-catching. The striker who used to scare the defenders seemed to be revived at once, and Heskey As the former main center of the England national team, his impact cannot be underestimated.

Then, after the game against Birmingham, Leeds will travel to London for the sixth time this season at Fulham's Craven Cottage in the final game of the season, planning for their 6-2004 Premier League season. At the last full stop, I started to prepare for the prospect of the new season.

…………

After that, Leeds United's last game of the season, and the most important game, is the 2004-2005 FA Cup final against Manchester United!

Tickets for this game have been snapped up long ago. An ordinary ticket of 35 pounds has already been fired up to 500 pounds on the black market, and it is the kind of price that has no market. It can be seen that this game The predictable degree of popularity...

The collision between Leeds United and Manchester United has never lacked passion and enthusiasm!

Not to mention in an important game like the FA Cup final!
…………

Richardson's Land Rover Freelander has now become a bus for several young people. Even Alan Lennon no longer drives his own pineapple car. In fact, everyone knows that this guy likes the atmosphere of several young people playing together, and insists on crowding together.

Li Rui also enjoys this feeling very much. It is really a kind of luck to have so many good friends of similar age in the team.

…………

Richardson drove around in a circle and sent Milner and Alan Lennon home respectively. Then, at the door of his own house, poor Richardson was kicked out of the car by Li Rui. Unwilling to watch Li Rui, a rookie who just got his driver's license, drive away in his own car, the entanglement in his heart...

However, there is no way, in today's training, Li Rui and Richardson bet that they will perform a hat-trick in the match. Richardson saw Li Rui's recent ups and downs, and said bluntly that if Li Rui can perform a hat-trick, He drove his Land Rover Freelander to Li Rui, and the result surprised Richardson. In the confrontation, Li Rui scored 7 goals in 5 shots if he had a miracle. Chadson sighed. Of course, seeing Li Rui in such a good state, Eddie Gray's serious face on the sidelines also showed a smile like a "lucky cat".

…………

Li Rui drove the car to a speed of over 120 yards, and drove all the way on the ring road. He enjoyed the feeling of fast speed, and as it was getting late, he watched the lights flashing on both sides of the road, speeding past, and the audio in the car was fully turned on. The shocking power of pound metal music kept Li Rui in a state of excitement. Fortunately, although Li Rui is a rookie, he seems to have good driving skills, and there are very few people in Leeds racing at night. One day they heard the sad news that their lead shooter had a car accident.

Enough stimulation, Li Rui returned to his home exhausted, refreshed physically and mentally, but what brought about the subsequent feeling of fatigue, Li Rui now wants to take a hot bath, bubble bath is also fine, and then lie down On the bed, have a good sleep.

…………

While taking a shower, the mobile phone in the living room rang, but Li Rui didn't bother to pay attention to it. After a while, the landline phone in the living room rang too. Li Rui frowned, and came out with his naked and wet body upright like a bird .

He looked at the number of the call, and it was from his manager Rodriguez. Li Rui saw that Rodriguez was in such a hurry, so he knew it should be a relatively urgent matter.

"Hey, Robbie, what's the matter?" Li Rui wrapped a bath towel around his body. He didn't want to be embarrassed if he was secretly photographed by the media.

After hanging up the phone, Li Rui rubbed his chin and lay down on the sofa. He was an Austrian energy drink giant. Red Bull wanted to sign a contract with him and invite him to be the spokesperson of Red Bull in the Asia-Pacific region. Red Bull should be more sincere and offered a It was very difficult for Li Rui to refuse the price, and now he can sign when Li Rui nods.

It is not impossible to endorse Red Bull, but what Li Rui is worried about is that this should be regarded as his first relatively large endorsement contract. Should he be more cautious? When he was in China, he heard that some functional Some illegal drugs are often added to the drinks. When you speak for yourself, you must be careful not to cause unnecessary disputes because of blind endorsement.

…………

Li Rui thought for a while, and he thought of who he needed to seek advice from. He himself was ignorant in this regard, but there was one person who was no stranger to such things as endorsement, and he must know much more than himself.

Li Rui looked at the time on his phone, calculated the time in Los Angeles, and called Jessica directly.

Jessica was resting at her residence for a rare time. After hearing what Li Rui said about Red Bull asking him to speak for him, she said to Li Rui: "Red Bull is a large international company, and logically there shouldn't be any problems. , if you are acting as an endorser now, it is best to choose these large companies, or those with a relatively good reputation, this will be a good way to maintain your image."

Then, Jessica asked Li Rui to hang up the phone first. She wanted to consult others about Li Rui's question about whether Red Bull would affect her image due to the addition of prohibited drugs.

…………

A few minutes later, Jessica called. She told Li Rui that a few years ago, Red Bull did have a dispute over the suspected addition of cocaine. However, this matter has passed now, and the recent image of Red Bull has been Picking up, if you endorse Red Bull, it should not be a big problem. However, Jessica suggested that Li Rui should indicate in the endorsement contract that if it is because of Red Bull's problems that affect Li Rui's personal image, Red Bull will be responsible, and he must To clarify the facts.

Li Rui nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone. After all, it is Jessica, who knows much more than himself in this regard. Of course, Li Rui can also guess who Jessica called just now, and what else can he know? Who, it must be the agent Ma Ke. Li Rui couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional. Ma Ke, the agent of a top student at Yale University, is much better than his own agent Rodriguez. Two knives are great.

…………

After the second day's training, Li Rui didn't stay for additional training, but took the car keys from Richardson's hands with a stern face, and drove Richardson's Land Rover Freelander towards London. I have to negotiate with Red Bull on the endorsement. If there is no problem, I can sign today.

All the way west, Li Rui thought about the endorsement fee promised by Red Bull, and wondered if he was going to buy a car too. Is it really a problem to always rub the car like this? However, thinking of Richardson's mournful face , Li Rui felt refreshed for no reason, rubbing cars is also an addictive thing.

…………

At the Hildo Hotel in London, Li Rui met the representative of Red Bull who was in charge of negotiating the endorsement.

A man in his 30s saw Li Rui coming in, stood up, and introduced himself: "Hello, Li, I am Eric Thain, the head of the Asia-Pacific region of Red Bull, and this is mine. Assistant." He pointed to a well-dressed lady in her 20s next to her and said.

"Hi, nice to meet you Mr. Eric Thain." Li Rui shook hands with Eric Thain.

…………

"I want to know why Red Bull chose me? Not Shunsuke Nakamura or Park Ji-sung and others, they are also Asian players." After the two sides sat down, Li Rui expressed his doubts.

Of course he knows that Eric Thain is the CEO of Red Bull Asia-Pacific region. He must choose himself because he is an Asian player. However, there are not only Asian players who play in Europe. Nothing else, in this season's Champions League semi-finals, the Italian giants AC Milan was almost eliminated by Eindhoven. Among them, Eindhoven's Korean star Park Ji-sung performed very well. It is said that this Korean player has already attracted Manchester United's attention. Pay attention, so in Li Rui's view, he has no advantage over other Asian players who have been in Europe for a longer time and have also achieved success.

You know, this is only Li Rui's first season in the Premier League, and he is now in Leeds United, which is not considered a wealthy team.

…………

Eric Thain smiled, and did not express much surprise at Li Rui's outspokenness. If the other party heard that a big company like Red Bull was looking for his endorsement, they would rush to sign the contract, which would cause the The contempt of Red Bull's executives and Li Rui's calmness made Eric Thain even more convinced that this young man has a brighter future, and signing Li Rui now is definitely a good deal.

Eric Thain is definitely a young and promising executive manager. In fact, the reason why he noticed Li Rui was not because of the suggestion of his development department, but because of Eric Thain. Thain himself noticed that he is a fan, a Tottenham Hotspur fan. At the beginning, Leeds United snatched Li Rui from Tottenham Hotspur. This is a small thing, Eric Thain Eric Thain has heard of it, and this is also because Eric Thain is a hardcore member of Tottenham Hotspur.

However, at the beginning, Eric Thain didn't realize what it was. However, in this season, Li Rui's turning out made him very interested. His keen sense of smell told him that this is a player with great commercial potential , because he is a special player, young and talented, and now in his debut season in the Premier League, he has the qualifications to compete for the top scorer in the Premier League. Moreover, whether it is Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool, they have all eaten Li Rui This also shows the potential of this young man when facing big competitions. Don’t underestimate this. In front of a professional football-thinking executive like Eric Thain, he understands that a Players, when facing important games, are often the most able to see the essence of a player!
However, Li Rui was criticized for his ups and downs in the previous period. However, Eric Thain noticed that although Li Rui was in poor form, in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal , was still able to change the result of the game with a flash of inspiration, and brought Leeds United into the FA Cup final almost by himself. In this game, Li Rui showed the potential of a superstar, which strengthened Eric Thain Eric Thain's idea of ​​signing Li Rui.

…………

Of course, Li Rui is an Asian player, which is also the reason why the CEO of Red Bull's Asia-Pacific region chose Li Rui. He knows that behind this young Chinese guy, let alone the vast Asian market, is the Chinese market with huge potential , this big cake is enough to make Red Bull salivate.

In addition, there is another point. The reason why Eric Thain made a favorable choice between Li Rui and other Asian players is that Li Rui was born in a professional class, and now he still insists on going to school. It aroused the favor and approval of Eric Thain.

Of course, Red Bull has also conducted a survey. Li Rui’s physique is quite good, and his testosterone has reached an astonishing 1250, which is almost the limit of athletes. This also corresponds to the philosophy of Red Bull, so in Eric Thai From Thain's point of view, this young man is simply a star specially prepared for Red Bull!

…………

Therefore, as the CEO of the Asia-Pacific region of Red Bull, a functional beverage business empire, Eric Thain is also determined to pull Li Rui under the banner of Red Bull this time. I don't want to be preempted by other companies.

Eric Thain of course knows that he is not the only smart person in the world. Other companies may have noticed this young player, and I am afraid they are already ready to take action. If other companies take the lead, it will be too late for me to regret it.

…………

As I said before, Li Rui is not opposed to Red Bull, and it should be said that he is very interested, because everyone knows the status of Red Bull in functional drinks, and Li Rui, as an athlete, can endorse such a top-level drink. Brand is also the recognition of strength, which is a kind of pride.

Of course, Li Rui also has his own worries, that is, Red Bull will not have the cocaine scandal that happened a few years ago. I still pay attention to my personal image, which is also the idea that Jessica instilled in Li Rui on the phone. No matter what, a good image is your greatest wealth. Only in this way can you attract more and more people. Merchants, don't affect the greater profit because of a blind endorsement.

Of course, Li Rui couldn't say these words himself, it was Rodriguez who conveyed Li Rui's worries.

…………

Eric Thain took a sip of his juice. He didn't expect Li Rui to be worried about this. To be honest, now, when a celebrity signs an endorsement contract, the first thing he cares about is the amount of the endorsement fee. However, this Chinese player has not had too many exchanges on endorsement fees so far, but has expressed concerns about his personal image and public safety.

This made Eric Thain even more determined to win Li Rui. A young man who pays so much attention to his personal image, I believe that his performance on the green field will not be bad!
"On this point, you can rest assured that we guarantee that there will be no problems with our products. Of course, if you still express concerns, you can add a special clause to the endorsement contract as a constraint and a disclaimer." Eric Thain Eric Thain said with a smile.

Rodriguez glanced at Li Rui, and Li Rui nodded. He was very satisfied with Red Bull's attitude, and the other party showed great sincerity.

…………

"Every year you need to set aside a week to shoot the latest commercial for Red Bull. Of course, if you encounter an intercontinental competition cycle such as the World Cup or the European Cup, you may need to shoot additional commercials temporarily."

"If your club wins the domestic cup championship, we will add 15.00% bonus to your endorsement fee. If it is the domestic league champion, we will add [-]% bonus. If Speaking of European competitions, entering the semi-finals and finals, and even winning the championship also have additional bonuses, here is an attachment."

Li Rui nodded. He knew all of this. This was also an act of the businessmen to stimulate endorsement stars. After all, only when the performance of the spokesperson got better and better would the effect of the endorsement get better and better.

Li Rui took the attachment handed over by Eric Thain, glanced at it briefly, and explained about the European arena that if he enters the UEFA Cup final, the prize money will be increased by 18%, and if he wins the UEFA Cup , this number has reached 25%, while for the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, it is 15%, and for the Champions Cup final, it is 20%. 30 percent!

Li Rui smiled and put this attachment on the table, "It seems that this season, I can only get the 10% additional bonus."

Eric Thain was stunned for a moment and then smiled. He knew that Li Rui was talking about this year's FA Cup champion. He didn't expect this young man to have a lot of self-confidence. You know, Leeds United's opponent in the final is Manchester United!
However, Eric Thain will not feel sorry for the [-]% additional bonus. If Li Rui can win the FA Cup in his debut season in the Premier League, it will definitely be a miracle. For Red Bull, he is definitely happy to see it. Compared with the [-]% additional bonus, the greater profit that Red Bull brings because of this is definitely worth it!

…………

"Sign for 4 years, with an annual endorsement fee of 100 million pounds." Eric Thain took out the contract.

This is Li Rui's endorsement fee. It should be said that the price given by Red Bull is definitely not low. For a young man, it is definitely a sky-high price.

In fact, at this stage of the negotiation, neither party believes that the cooperation will be stranded because of the issue of endorsement fees. This cooperation also deeply touched Eric Thain. This is the cooperation he negotiated. , a very special one, because the negotiation of the endorsement fee was actually put at the end, but they were entangled in other issues for a long time.

…………

"No, Mr. Thain, we have an idea." Rodriguez also showed his keen sense of money. If Eric Thain is optimistic about Li Rui's future, Then Rodriguez, who is Li Rui's agent, absolutely believes in it. He knows Li Rui's future value and appreciation space better than anyone else...

"Sign for 3 years, 90 pounds per year!" Rodriguez put forward his own suggestion.

Eric Thain's eyes lit up. He knew that he had met his opponent. Don't look at the new cooperation method proposed by Rodriguez. The annual endorsement fee has been reduced by 10 pounds, which seems silly Yes, but this is the most shrewd thing, and it also shows that Rodriguez is optimistic about his players. He is only willing to sign for 3 years because he believes that after 3 years, maybe, Li Rui's endorsement The fee, the 90 pounds is even just a fraction, the cooperation period minus one year, and the annual endorsement fee is also reduced by 10 pounds, in fact, it is the most shrewd!
Of course, this is also based on Li Rui's better performance in the future.

…………

"Four years, 4 million pounds per year!" Eric Thain had a smile on his face.

"3 years, 90 pounds per year!" Rodriguez insisted.

"4 years, 120 million pounds per year!" Eric Thain frowned. Rodriguez's slightly fat face, in the eyes of Red Bull Asia Pacific CEO, was so hateful at this moment. Eric Thain almost flung his sleeves away, but, thinking of his optimism for that young man, Eric Thain suppressed his anger again.

…………

Of course, Rodriguez felt Eric Thain's dissatisfaction, and he was also thinking about it in his heart, and he estimated that it was almost the same.

"3 years, 110 million pounds per year, but your company has the priority to renew the contract under the same conditions!" Rodriguez tapped his right hand on the table.

Eric Thain thought about it for almost 2 seconds, gritted his teeth, and made a decision, "Happy cooperation, Mr. Rodriguez!"

…………

Eric Thain's assistant, that beautiful lady, has already picked up the wine bottle, filled the 4 goblets prepared earlier with red wine, and the four of them picked up the wine glasses.

Eric Thain made a toast, "Happy cooperation, I hope this will be an important cooperation in the history of Red Bull, and congratulations to Li for winning the FA Cup!"

"Happy cooperation!" The wine glasses of the four people clinked together.

After finishing this cooperation, although the payment was higher than expected, Eric Thain is still quite satisfied. He is still very optimistic about Li Rui's future... But, even the complacent Eric Thain did not expect that this cooperation would be the most successful page in his life!
***********
After the training ended the next day, Li Rui received a call from Rodriguez, saying that Red Bull had transferred a total of 3 million pounds in three-year endorsement fees to Li Rui's account.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Li Rui, who suddenly had more than 300 million pounds in his hand, equivalent to more than 3000 million yuan, was still a little dizzy. The speed was too fast, and he just signed the contract. The ad hasn't been shot yet, so Red Bull will give me the money!
Li Rui thought for a while, and he could only attribute his surprise to how strange he was as a young man. Although this amount of money is indeed a lot in the eyes of Li Rui now, Li Rui can also understand that this amount of money, In the eyes of a business empire like Red Bull, it is nothing at all. Since they have signed a contract with themselves, it means that they have started to cooperate. At this time, what is it to send money to themselves.

At this moment, Li Rui felt that he was a country bumpkin, and he began to feel a little dazed. In the daze, Li Rui also began to realize that money is really nothing in his future! ! !
…………

"I was thinking, how much money will I have in the future?" Li Rui told Jessica on the phone that Red Bull had signed a contract with him, and the endorsement fee had already been paid. After sitting on the sofa, he felt a little bored.

It's funny to say that other players with such a large amount of money would definitely want to go to London to have a good time. No one like Li Rui would feel bored and lie at home and live across the English Channel. Talking on the phone with Atlantic's girlfriend.

"Hee hee." On the other end of the phone, Jessica giggled, she never thought that Li Rui would be troubled by having money, so Jessica found it interesting, she 'enlightened' her boyfriend, " Darling, don't be surprised, in my opinion, your fee is not high compared to endorsement fee, you know, compared with some top stars, you are only a fraction of others. "

This is not Jessica attacking Li Rui, although the annual endorsement fee of 110 million pounds is already very high, but for many top names, it is really just a fraction of others.When Jessica said this, it also made Li Rui understand a truth——
This little money is really nothing!real!So no need to bother!
…………

Of course, Jessica didn't mean to laugh at Li Rui. On the contrary, Jessica felt a little bit of peace of mind in her heart. The relationship between her and Li Rui was her first love, and Jessica also attached great importance to it, so , Seeing that Li Rui had money, he didn't think of spending time and money, and when he endorsed, he also considered more comprehensively, and Jessica was actually a little relieved in her heart.

There is a saying that honest people are reassuring. The American beauty Jessica also knows this sentence.

…………

What did Li Rui think of? He asked his own question to Jessica on the other end of the phone. He knew that Jessica had just endorsed a luxury cosmetic product last month, so he asked Jessica how much the endorsement fee was , This is also Li Rui's machismo at work. He has a feeling that Jessica's endorsement fee should be higher than his own.

Jessica did not say, on the one hand, this involves personal privacy, and on the other hand, Jessica also understands Li Rui's thoughts. After all, male chauvinism is not only found in China, but exists all over the world, so , Jessica can understand Li Rui's thoughts.

…………

But, helplessly, Li Rui asked again. Jessica saw that Li Rui insisted on her own opinion, and the Hollywood actress smiled narrowly on the phone, "Honey, are you sure you want to know?"

Li Rui nodded sharply on the phone. If Jessica didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

After hearing the number reported by Jessica, Li Rui was stunned on the phone. He thought that he might be less than Jessica, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. Moreover, Li Rui also knew that, This is just one of Jessica's many endorsements...

…………

"What's the matter, honey?" Jessica heard silence on the other end of the phone.

Li Rui was on the phone, silent for half a minute, staring at the ceiling: "Tired, tired."

…………

"Hee hee." Jessica giggled on the other end of the phone, and Li Rui who laughed felt very shameless...

Just now, Li Rui felt that he was 'not short of money'. Now, Li Rui realized that to a certain extent, money is really nothing...

On the issue, Li Rui has not reached that level yet, it seems that his woman is almost there.

This is what makes Li Rui depressed... If things go on like this, Fu Gang will be depressed...

…………

Jessica saw that Li Rui didn't speak, and thought that Li Rui's self-esteem had been hurt. Just about to say something, Li Rui said, "It seems that I have to work hard to earn money to support my family, hey."

Jessica made a "puchi" and laughed: "Yes, otherwise, you have to listen to me at home."

At this moment, Li Rui laid down on the sofa and said with a smirk, "When you're on the bed, you have to listen to me."

On the other end of the phone, Jessica's face blushed...

Between men and women, as long as they break through that layer of boundaries, they will start to become unscrupulous.

***********
On May 2005.5.7, 2004, the penultimate round of the 2005-[-] Premier League season, Elland Road Stadium, a sea of ​​joy.

With 15 minutes left in the game, Leeds United led Birmingham 3-0 at home, and the Birminghams looked like they had no chance of winning the game.

Moreover, under the big score advantage of 3:0 lead, the players of Leeds United did not seem to intend to stop there, and the wave of offense was higher and higher.

However, Eddie Gray, who was on the sidelines, showed his 'kindness' at this time. In the 80th minute of the game, he replaced Li Rui, who had scored a wonderful goal in this game. .

…………

Just in the 11th minute of the first half, Leeds United won a corner kick on the right, and Neil Gilckney stood at the penalty spot.

The corner kick was taken, Li Rui was in the penalty area, suddenly got rid of the defense of Birmingham defender Upson, leaped high, and made a beautiful celebration of a lion shaking his head.

Birmingham goalkeeper Matthew Taylor made an almost token pounce as the football flew into the net!

…………

"Boom!" The entire Elland Road Stadium erupted.

"The 25th!!!" Taibi, the commentator of Sky TV, jumped up from his seat with his hands up, "this is the lad. In his debut season in the Premier League, he scored the 25th goal. He broke Ruud van Nistelrooy. When Ruy came to Manchester United in the 2001-2002 season, he created a scoring record of 24 goals in his debut season! Congratulations to the lad! Fantastic!"

…………

The entire Elland Road stadium was boiling. At this time, no one cared about the reality that this goal gave Leeds United the lead. What made everyone excited was only because of this record: 25 league goals, this boy did it, he broke the record. Ruud van Nistelrooy's record is an amazing achievement. Let's compare it. Among the four giants of the Premier League, Liverpool's team is so far the closest to scoring 20 goals in a season. More than the ball, it goes back to Fowler in the 1995-1996 season! !

"This is really a remarkable achievement! This season is definitely an unforgettable season for this 20-year-old boy!" Lineker did not hesitate to praise him at this time.

"That's right, now, Lee is only 27 goals away from Henry, the top scorer with 2 goals!" Taibi said loudly.

…………

Eddie Gray rushed to the sidelines with his arms up, bouncing and jumping.Excited like a little kid.

"Great job! Fucking good! Fucking good!! Awesome boy!"

…………

After scoring the goal, Li Rui ran to the side of the court again and made a 'heart-shaped' celebration gesture. This celebration gesture has already aroused wild speculation in the media. The media tried their best to figure out, Li Rui's ' Who is the "Gesture of Love" dedicated to? However, Li Rui and Jessica have done a good job of keeping it secret, and the media has not discovered it for the time being.

Of course, some media also thought about the scandal between Li Rui and Jessica, and asked them about it, but both of them denied it... At this time, both of them felt that it was not time to make their relationship public!
…………

Li Rui's goal also broke the deadlock of the game. Birmingham, who were eager to equalize the score, pressed hard, but Beliz United seized the opportunity. In the 41st and 62nd minutes of the game, Alan Smith's far The shot, as well as Bambi's header, scored two goals in a row, expanding the score to 3:0, and the game completely lost suspense.

…………

When Li Rui left the field, cheers and applause from the Leeds United fans rang out at Elland Road.

The final result of this game was 3:0, Leeds United beat Birmingham at home.

However, Leeds United fans are not only concerned about this game. In another game of this round, at Old Trafford, Manchester United was tied 1:1 by West Bromwich Albion at their home court. However, Manchester United After the team scored a point, it was still 4 points ahead of fifth-ranked Liverpool, and got the tickets for the European Champions Cup one round ahead of schedule.

This also means that in the FA Cup final against Manchester United on May 5.22, no matter whether Leeds United can beat Manchester United or not, since Manchester United has already qualified for the Champions League, then Leeds United, which reached the final, will win A UEFA Cup berth.

…………

Therefore, at the end of the game, the entire Elland Road Stadium became a sea of ​​joy. Li Rui, who was already sitting on the bench, rushed into the stadium and warmly embraced his teammates to celebrate this hard-won time.

On the sidelines, Eddie Gray was not as excited as his assistant coach Gustavo Poyet. He muttered, "Damn, those media, I don't know how to say it, saying that we are in the glory of Manchester United." It's..."

Gustavo Poyet glared at the head coach, but said nothing.

***********
PS: I would like to ask everyone. Leeds United fans have composed songs for Li Rui. I have thought about a few songs myself, but I am not satisfied. Everyone is quick in thinking. Help Xiao Qi think about it, thank you.It can be posted in book reviews.Those who are adopted will be rewarded with important character roles...
