Chapter 279 Blooming Chrysanthemums!
"GOOOOOOOAAAAAL...Lee!...Lee!!!...Lee!!!"
There was a tidy roar on the stage where Manchester United fans gathered.

From the beginning to now, the Liverpool fans have been erupting with heat and excitement, as if a crater erupting with lava suddenly encountered an unprecedented heavy rainstorm, and there was no sound at all.

The cheers that erupted from the stands had such a magical power to make one's blood boil, and the rain fell, but it did not stop the burning flames in Li Rui's heart!

…………

Ferguson stood up from the coaching bench when Li Rui and Rooney made a beautiful two-for-one and got a one-handed goal. At this time, he raised his hands and hugged assistant coach Yong Queiroz Together.

As a coach, what could be more exciting than winning, than discovering a talent with your own hands?Although, maybe Li Rui was not discovered by the old Scottish man himself, but Ferguson can be regarded as Li Rui's mentor. This stubborn old Scottish man gave Li Rui almost doting unconditional trust!

And this kind of trust, sometimes, even some players can't enjoy it in their entire lives!

…………

This is also Li Rui's luck. In Leeds United, Eddie Gray gave him great trust and entrusted him as the core of Leeds United's offense. In Manchester United, the old Scottish man also trusted Li Rui, even under great pressure. The pressure of putting this guy who has just been bailed out from the police station on the starting list for such an important game against Liverpool!
In a sense, Li Rui was indeed lucky.

…………

At this time, Liverpool fans broke out huge boos.

But Li Rui didn't seem to be affected at all. He was enjoying his goal unscrupulously. He ran to the corner kick, held the corner flagpole with his hand, swung his fist vigorously, and let out a roar like venting.

In his ears, there are harsh boos from tens of thousands of Liverpool fans!

The boos are loud! !
…………

"Haha, I like this feeling." Li Rui hugged Rooney who came up to celebrate his goal with him.

The little fat man looked at Li Rui seriously, "I'm very serious, don't try to think of me."

Li Rui's face turned embarrassed, he never thought that the little fat man has such a well-developed sense of gray humor!
…………

The harsh boos of Anfield Stadium, the arrogant cheers of Manchester United... mixed into a sour wild saxophone, hitting everyone's chest.

However, Liverpool coach Benitez will certainly not be in a good mood.

…………

Benitez's face was ashen, and what he had been worrying about happened. In this game, he asked Liverpool to attack with all their strength. Whenever there was a chance, he pressed them out like a pack of hungry wolves. The purpose was to score goals as soon as possible. In this game, Liverpool must win in order to continue to maintain the hope of winning the league...

However, such a reckless attack itself is very risky. While the attack is pushed out, Liverpool's defense also has a huge risk of being counterattacked by the opponent.

Now, what Benitez was worried about happened. Manchester United scored a goal with a sharp counterattack and a simple wall-slamming cooperation between the two young men on the front line.

…………

"Brilliant goal! Beautiful!! Lee! A genius player!! I have to say, this time we have to thank Sir Alex Ferguson who insisted on putting his number 10 in the starting XI, Looks like he's right! This kid is trustworthy! He reminds me of Eric Cantona!!! It was Lee's second shot of the game and the first on goal and the goal came out! Terrible efficiency! Perhaps, Liverpool players have to understand a word, don’t give that kid any chance! Otherwise, he will make you very painful!!!” Lineker was also excited, and Manchester United’s counterattack was concise and clear , very sharp, so that everyone's spirits are lifted, and everyone's eyes shine!And Li Rui's performance was even more impeccable!

"Yes, Gary. Lee showed us what a shooter's sense of smell and awareness is. The goal is so wonderful! Watching this kid play football is really a pleasure!!!"

***********
Benitez waved his arm towards the court on the sidelines and made a gesture!

All Liverpool players understand that this is a signal to attack, keep attacking!

The Liverpool team, which was behind in the score, was even more desperate to attack. They wanted to equalize the score before the end of the first half and provide the greatest possibility for the comeback of the second half.

The Manchester United players seemed to be still immersed in the joy of leading, and they couldn't hold on to Liverpool's crazy offensive.

And this is also considered by Benitez, try to press out as much as possible, Manchester United just took the lead, it is inevitable to be careless, just to force Manchester United to make mistakes in order to score goals and equalize the score!

…………

Garcia suddenly made a very concealed pass in the frontcourt, and the football passed to the unguarded Gerrard.

"Stop him!!" Van der Sar yelled in front of the goal. Gerrard's long shot had already made him break out in a cold sweat at the beginning. He was extremely vigilant about this person.

Gerrard turned around with a beautiful pull of the ball, just like that, he got rid of Heinze's interference, and adjusted the football forward beautifully, and his body was exactly facing the goal!

Amid cheers from the Reds fans at Anfield, Gerrard lifted his right foot...

…………

Ferdinand rushed out and shoveled directly, trying to block Gerrard's long shot.

However, he looked at his teammates in the national team in surprise, pulled the football back suddenly, avoided his tackle, and then followed up with a pick with his right foot, the football flew up, drew an arc and passed to The back point of the goal.

There, Crouch, nicknamed 'Bamboo Pole', at this time, seemed to be a civet, catching Gerrard's passing line. He jumped up in the crowd, and immediately was half a head higher than O'Shea. Attack the goal!

An attack close at hand!
Almost everyone thought that Liverpool was about to score a goal and equalize the score. In the stands of Anfield Stadium, many Liverpool fans stood up with their hands up, ready to cheer.

…………

Crouch's height gave him a huge advantage in grabbing points. However, he almost smashed the football into the goal with this ball. Such a header is very powerful, but the angle is a bit too straight. , Van der Sar waved his hands almost reflexively, blocking the football.

Fletcher, who had the football back on defense, drove towards the stands with a big kick.

In the stands, the Liverpool fans who were already preparing to celebrate the goal put their hands on their heads, full of regretful inhalation...

…………

When Liverpool accelerated the rhythm of the attack, they also made some mistakes that should not have been made.

Alonso intends to pass the ball to Pangele in the frontcourt, but he kicks the football directly to Keane. The Manchester United captain then passes the ball to Giggs on the left. After the Welsh veteran got the ball, he immediately accelerated and walked along the side road advance.

Cristiano Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area to meet him. He reached out for the ball. When everyone thought Giggs would knock the football to Cristiano Ronaldo, Giggs drove the football into the penalty area.

…………

The football was at the front of the penalty area, and Fletcher, who had been plugged in, pushed it up, but instead of hitting the goal, it flew high. After it fell, Riise jumped up and hit it. Giggs shook his left foot and flew back to the penalty area.

This time, Li Rui got the point. He ferried the football to the back point, where Rooney took a powerful shot. Unfortunately, the ball hit the Liverpool goalkeeper Reina and bounced off the baseline.

The little fat man's shot was really full of strength, with a big toe. Although Reina saved the football, his whole face wrinkled into a ball of chrysanthemums in pain.

…………

Ryan Giggs drove a corner kick into the penalty area, Li Rui jumped high and made a beautiful lion shaking his head to attack the goal. Reina almost subconsciously blocked the football with a single palm, and the football was immediately cleared by Carragher.

When the two sides reached the final stage of the first half of the game, the speed of offensive and defensive transitions became faster.

Just as Carragher drove the football forward with his big foot, after the Liverpool players passed it three or two times, the football reached the feet of Finnan on the right, who directly drove the football towards the penalty area. In the penalty area, Crouch headed the ball , followed by Pangele's shot but was weak, and was easily obtained by Van der Sar.

…………

Van der Sar immediately threw the ball to attack, and Heinze directly drove the football to the frontcourt... At this time, the referee Strauss was already watching his watch, and there was 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half The time is almost here.

Li Rui jumped up in the frontcourt and competed with Warnock for the header. He caught the football and ferried it to Rooney.

After the little fat man stopped the ball with his chest, he accelerated and changed direction, and passed Carragher's side, and he was about to enter the penalty area.

"Stop him!! Don't let him kick! Bastard!" Reina screamed in a panic. He still had lingering fears about Rooney's heavy feet just now. He didn't think he was so sure. Catch this little fat man's shot.

…………

Hyypia rushed out like a warrior, jumped up, and was about to block Rooney's shot. However, the little fat man didn't take a long shot, but pushed the football to the right...

There, Li Rui has already plugged in at high speed.

"Aww!" Facing the football, Li Rui let out a low growl, swung his right leg and shot a powerful long-range shot.

…………

The football was thrown forward by Reina and hugged tightly.

In the stands at Anfield, Liverpool fans burst into applause, dedicated to Reina.

However, at this time, the camera captured the face of the Liverpool goalkeeper, wrinkled into a chrysanthemum again.

It hurts!

In fact, Li Rui's shooting power does not seem to be weaker than Rooney's...

…………

At this time, referee Strass also blew the whistle to end the first half.
