Chapter 409 The future leader of Manchester United!
After Park Ji-sung came on the field, Li Rui was arranged to withdraw and appeared in the attacking midfielder position, with Larson and Rooney's partner on the front line.

Li Rui is not too unfamiliar with the position of the front midfielder. Li Rui also played this position when he was at Leeds United. Therefore, after a few minutes of discomfort in this position, he still Even if he can complete the coach's tactics very well, of course, it is unrealistic to expect Li Rui to be so good at the position of the midfielder. After all, he is not from the midfielder, so he can't play this position so quickly.

After wearing the captain's armband, Li Rui also felt a heavy responsibility. Although Manchester United is now leading 3-0 and has one more player, Li Rui dare not be careless. The captain's armband is a responsibility.

Although in the subsequent games, Li Rui's performance was only quite satisfactory, maybe he was a little restrained by wearing the captain's armband, and the position of the midfielder was not suitable, but the home fans still applauded Li Rui, as long as he As soon as the ball is touched, the whole stadium will be filled with cheers——

This is also the fans' special encouragement for Li Rui to wear the captain's armband for the first time! !

***********
"At the end of the game, Manchester United beat Charlton 3-0 at home. The best player in this game is undoubtedly Li Rui. His one shot and two passes are the biggest contributors to the team's victory. Dai Wearing the Manchester United captain's armband makes him look a bit reserved, but maybe he will get used to his new role slowly, congratulations to this young man." Taibi also sent his blessings to Li Rui.Everyone knows that Ferguson's appointment of Li Rui as the captain of the field was definitely not in a flash of enthusiasm. This shows that the Scottish old man has already started to support Li Rui's status in the Manchester United dressing room.

As soon as the whistle blew after the game, Li Rui was surrounded by reporters. He is the best player in the game, and it is normal for reporters to interview him. However, today’s situation is a bit special. The reporters asked him The question had less to do with goals in the game and more to do with the captain's armband on his arm.

Regarding this problem, Li Rui said frankly, "As the captain on the field, he felt the pressure."

However, Li Rui also said that the captain's armband is both pressure and motivation, requiring him to consider more issues during the game.

A reporter from London also asked Li Rui about Li Rui's 'acting' to get Sunderfa off the stage. Li Rui responded unceremoniously, "Sangdefa is wronged? Maybe on this planet, only You think so."

When the reporter in London jumped up, blushing like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, Li Rui pushed away the spears and short cannons beside him, saying that the interview was over and he had to go over to pay tribute to the home fans.

***********
"Li Rui."

Hearing his name being called in Mandarin, Li Rui turned his head and saw Zhen Zhi walking towards him, which surprised Li Rui, he never expected that Zhen Zhi would take the initiative to greet him.

Li Rui knew that Zhen Zhi was the captain of the national team and the Chinese Footballer of the Year. Apart from that, he didn't know much about Zhen Zhi.

Zhen Zhi found out that Li Rui was planning to exchange jerseys with him, which made Li Rui a little embarrassed. Just now Darren Bent also came up to him to exchange jerseys, but Li Rui declined because this was his first time wearing the Manchester United captain's armband. For a game, Li Rui intends to keep the jersey of today's game as a souvenir.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhen, the jerseys for today's game are commemorative, and I plan to keep them for myself. I'm sorry." Li Rui said with a smile, trying to make his words more euphemistic. Anyway, the two are compatriots. Moreover, Zhen Zhi also took the initiative to ask to exchange jerseys with him, so he had to explain clearly.

Zhen Zhi was taken aback. He didn't expect that Li Rui would refuse. In China, people always ask him to exchange jerseys. Today, it is rare for him to take the initiative to ask for a jersey exchange. This kid actually dared to refuse. Zhen Zhi also took the initiative to show his favor to Li Rui. In Zhen Zhi's view, Li Rui's strength is indeed strong, and sooner or later he will enter the national team. After subduing Li Rui, his position in the national team will be more stable.

Never thought that Li Rui directly refused to exchange jerseys. Although Li Rui said it very tactfully, and also said that today's game is very meaningful to him, Li Rui wants to keep the jersey.However, in Zhen Zhi's view, it was because Li Rui didn't give him face and deliberately embarrassed him.

***********
"That's it, forget it." Zhen Zhi smiled shyly, but looked at Li Rui. He was waiting for Li Rui to change his mind, but when he saw that Li Rui just greeted him and left, Zhen Zhi His face also became gloomy, he thought that Li Rui did it on purpose to save him face, "Boy, do you really treat yourself like a dish?"If you cannot enter the national team, you are nothing, even if you enter the national team, you will still be attractive. '

Naturally, Li Rui didn't know that his completely unconscious behavior would cause such great resentment from Zhen Zhi. It's normal for players to exchange jerseys, but he really wants to keep commemorative jerseys. Generally, they will understand. Who knew that this matter would be so complicated.

Of course Li Rui didn't know that Zhen Zhi was definitely one of the top figures in the national team, and he was used to being the boss, so he was very upset when he 'hit a wall' with him.

***********
At the post-match press conference, Charlton head coach Pardew first expressed his dissatisfaction. He ridiculed Li Rui as a "poor third-rate actor" and believed that the referee was deceived by Li Rui, which led to Sankofa being sent off. , which made Charlton completely lose confidence in the game.

Ferguson looked furious at the remarks made by the coach of Charlton, "What happened on the pitch, I don't think I need to say more, Sankofa's red card? He should at least be sent off in this game Three times! Li Rui was acting? I hoped that he was acting at that time. If Li Rui hadn’t reacted fast enough, (this kind of) behind the tackle would have caused him to bid farewell to this season. What I am most dissatisfied with about Li Rui is that he played Too honest on the pitch, otherwise, Manchester United would have at least scored one more penalty!!!"

In a word, the post-match press conference was chaotic, Ferguson's hair dryer was buzzing, it seemed that the old Scottish man was really angry with the Charlton coach's remarks, and the referee of this game Michael's soft law enforcement also made Ferguson angry. You must know that the Champions League knockout round is about to begin. If Li Rui is injured, Manchester United's offensive ability will be greatly affected.

***********
"Mr. Ferguson, can you talk about the captain's armband? You must know that Li is only 22 years old, and he has only joined Manchester United for two seasons." The reporter of the "Sunday Mirror" asked.

"Li Rui's performance in the game is becoming more and more mature. I think he can make a greater contribution to the team. From the first day he came to Manchester United, I have been optimistic about this young man. Of course, today's The captain's armband in the game is only temporary, Gary (Neville) and Ryan (Giggs) are the team's first and second captains, followed by Rio (Ferdinand) and Paul (Scholes) .”

Hearing what Ferguson said, all the reporters understood that Li Rui was positioned as the fifth captain of the Manchester United team by the godfather of Manchester United. I have noticed that whether it is Gary Neville, Giggs, Ferdinand or Scholes, they are all veterans, and the youngest Ferdinand is 29 years old——

And Li Rui is only 22 years old!
what does this mean?
***********
Sure enough, the media reports on the second day focused on the captain's armband on Li Rui's arm. "Daily Mirror" football expert Martin Lipton analyzed Ferguson in depth in his column. The words at the press conference——

"The first captain Gary Neville is 32 years old, the second captain Giggs is 34 years old, the third captain Scholes is 33 years old, the fourth captain Ferdinand is 29 years old, and the theoretical captain candidate Sylvester is 30 years old. , Solskjaer is 34 years old... the top four can guarantee playing time, but no one knows how long they can play at Old Trafford, and Mikael (Sylvester) is on the bench We spend more time in the hospital and our baby faces are getting old. At this time, we realized that Manchester United needs a new core, a new leader. Maybe he is not a leader now, but in the future, Manchester United needs a new leader. When he is, when these veterans are about to leave, the blood of Manchester United can be passed on!
Undoubtedly, Sir Alex Ferguson chose Li Rui, the 22-year-old boy. He did not choose Wayne (Rooney), nor did he choose Cristiano (Ronaldo). It is not surprising that this young man Already the core of Manchester United's offense, he is strong, he does not admit defeat, he is full of fighting spirit, he is eager to win and strives to win, and his teammates will gradually get used to trusting him. These are the conditions for becoming a leader...

If there is no accident, in the next ten years, he will be the main striker of the Manchester United team. This is enough to create a legend and write a dynasty. Sir Alex Ferguson is casting the backbone of the future for the Manchester United team, and Li is This is the most important skeleton! !

Of course, in addition to giving opportunities to young people, I hope Sir Alex Ferguson will continue to pay attention to the veterans of the Manchester United team.First of all, we must ensure that Van der Sar, captain Gary (Neville), Ryan (Giggs) and Paul's contract renewals must be stepped up. The real purpose is to hope to continue to guide young players through these experienced veterans.I believe that in everyone's mind, these veterans with an average age of over 32 years old still have an inestimable effect on the Red Devils.
