Chapter 456 Goodbye, Mourinho!
As the minutes of the game passed, the score was still 0:0, and the Sporting Lisbon fans made all kinds of noises more wantonly. They insulted Manchester United players loudly and raised their middle fingers. The atmosphere of the whole stadium was extremely hot .

The police in Lisbon were also facing a formidable enemy, because although there were only more than 2000 Manchester United fans who came to the away game, the Manchester United fans were not at all afraid. They scolded the Sporting Lisbon fans, and the atmosphere was very tense.

At this moment, the goal appeared!
***********
As soon as Li Rui got the ball and turned around, he saw the Sporting Lisbon player marking him posting it. However, Li Rui was not flustered, but he moved his feet flexibly, and then his body jumped, just in time to dribble the ball past him. An interception by a defensive player.

Immediately afterwards, Li Rui flicked his left hand, blocked the Sporting Lisbon player behind him, and then accelerated to rush over.

Breakthrough!
Li Rui, who was alone, took a step forward and looked up at Sporting Lisbon's goal. Instead of continuing to break through, he suddenly shot from outside the penalty area.

Long shot!

The football goes high over the heads of the defenders and then suddenly falls - a leaf ball!

Fortunately, the goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon was concentrating enough. When he retreated, he jumped back and stretched out his hand to lift the football over the crossbar.When he rolled over and fell to the ground, there was a huge applause at the Jose Alballade stadium, dedicated to the goalkeeper.

***********
The commentators in England were all sighing over the failure of the ball: "What a pity! What a pity! The goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon performed perfectly. Li Rui shot the ball suddenly, and the angle was very tricky. He was able to save it, which is really great. Not easy! Manchester United are only a little short of scoring."

Seeing that the ball was thrown, Li Rui scratched his head annoyed. It was really depressing that such a ball was thrown.

***********
Manchester United's corner kick.

It was a tactical corner kick. The Manchester United players were unhurriedly kicking their feet near the baseline. Giggs suddenly pushed the football hard with his arch, and the football rolled from the feet of many people into the penalty area.

He passed it to Ronaldo. As soon as the latter was about to stop the ball, he felt that the Sporting Lisbon players around him were forcing him up. Ronaldo felt a move in his heart and chose-leave the ball!He made a shot with both legs, and tricked the defending Sporting Lisbon player to fall to the ground to block, but cleverly missed the ball...

The football rolled between his legs and nobody touched it!

Then, amidst the huge boos at the Jose Alballade Stadium, Li Rui, who followed up in the middle, rushed up like a leopard out of the cage, and shot directly at the ball!

The shot was extremely powerful and flew towards the top corner of the goal with a rapid spin. Although the goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon tried his best to save the goal, the goal was born. The ball flew over him and hit the crossbar straight. Along, and straight down again.Hit the goal line!
The ball went in! ! !
***********
"What_a_great_GOOOOOAAAAAL!!" The British commentator held back for most of the time, and finally yelled out happily. In this game, not only the Manchester United players on the field were depressed, but the British commentator was also depressed. Now he can finally be unscrupulous roared out.

"The goal is scored! Manchester United scored a goal! From the collision of geniuses between Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui! They gave Sporting Lisbon a big surprise!!!"

After scoring the goal, Li Rui did not start to celebrate as he usually does when he scores a goal. Instead, he raised his index finger to his lips and ran straight to the stands where the most concentrated fans of Sporting Lisbon fans were. There were about 3000 Sporting Lisbon fans there. A huge line of fans, this is the stand where Sporting Lisbon's most radical and largest fan group "JUVE-LEO" is located, they wear uniform T-shirts that read, "British, poke your ass!"

Throughout the game, this notorious fan group called "JUVE-LEO" in Portugal was making all kinds of noise and booing, and as the number one star of Manchester United, as long as Li Rui touched the ball, "JUVE-LEO" "There will be all kinds of insulting voices.

************
Li Rui rushed under the "JUVE-LEO" fans' stands, raised his index finger to his mouth, and had a ferocious expression on his face. No matter how his teammates hugged him behind him, he kept this posture.He didn't care about the things thrown from the stands, he just wanted to use it to vent his anger.

The Sporting Lisbon fans in the stands did not shut up obediently, but booed louder. They insulted Li Rui loudly and greeted him.

After finishing all this, Li Rui turned his head and hugged his teammates, then ran towards the middle circle, while smiling towards the "JUVE-LEO" area, laughing wantonly, it was a provocation!He just wants to let the Sporting Lisbon fans see the smile on his face, you boo, boo if you have the ability, throw things, I scored a goal, I am very happy now, come on! !Grass! !

***********
"Manchester United's offense is very creative, Cristiano Ronaldo taught his compatriots a good lesson, football is played like this, unparalleled leaks, Li Rui's shot is very determined, look at his The expression, I swear, if this goal doesn't go in, he will go crazy! Beautiful goal, boy!"

The commentator was still talking about the goal. Obviously, Li Rui's goal made them very relieved and happy.

Ferguson waved his arm vigorously off the field. He was very satisfied with this goal. This is how football is played. Sporting Lisbon shit, have you seen it?As long as we want to score goals, we can do it!

The Scottish old man is not very good-tempered, and of course he was very angry when he was bullied by Sporting Lisbon in this game.

***********
Li Rui's goal was a great blow to the Sporting Lisbon players. Originally, in this game, the Sporting Lisbon players put their stance so low. In their own home court, they poured water on the pitch and retreated to defend. , Another foul tactic, just to defend the score of 0:0 and get one point. Now, Manchester United scored a goal. The tone of supporting the Sporting Lisbon players suddenly dissipated, and the players also appeared The short-term actions are inconsistent, and I don't know whether to attack or defend at this time.

The thoughts of the players on the field were not unified, and there was also a disconnection in the midfield and backcourt. This was quickly seized by the experienced Manchester United team to score another goal.

This is an attack that Sporting Lisbon has just completed. Manchester United quickly counterattacked. After receiving Li Rui's header, Ronaldo ran for tens of meters and passed the football to Rooney. After falling down, the referee's whistle sounded, a penalty kick was awarded without hesitation, and the Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper was sent off with a red card.

Amidst the huge boos at the Jose Alballade Stadium, Ronaldo stood on the penalty spot and scored the penalty. The substitute goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon, who had just entered the field and hadn't even had time to warm up, just made a symbolic pounce. That's all.

2: 0!

Manchester United established the game victory.

This is also the final score of the game. In the end, Manchester United scored a very important goal in their new season's Champions League match at Sporting Lisbon's home stadium José Albalade under extremely difficult circumstances. A victory has made a good start for the new season of the Champions League.

***********
The entire stadium was booed harshly by Sporting Lisbon fans, and some fans started throwing objects into the stadium. This kind of noisy situation reached a climax when the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

In the end, after the game, the Manchester United players did not dare to stay in the stadium to celebrate. They had to be protected by the shields raised by the Portuguese riot police before they could safely leave the Jose Albalade Stadium.

Afterwards, the whole Manchester United team celebrated in the locker room for an hour, and waited until the fanatical Sporting Lisbon fans with "JUVE-LEO" as the main body had dispersed before taking the bus to leave the Jose Albalade Stadium and return to the stadium. The hotel where you stayed.

The hot scene at the Jose Albalad Stadium also left a strong impression on Li Rui.It's just a powder keg.

***********
The return of Manchester United from Lisbon to Manchester is completely exhausted. The long flight, coupled with all that suffered at the Jose Albalade Stadium, has made the English media look forward to Manchester United's next game in the league. The focus game is worrying.

On September 9, the seventh round of the league, Manchester United will be waiting for Chelsea at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United people who returned to Manchester immediately filed a complaint with UEFA, accusing Sporting Lisbon of subterfuge by watering the stadium and questioning the chaos at the Jose Albalade Stadium. However, Manchester United People also know that such accusations are not convincing. Sporting Lisbon has a hundred reasons to justify them pouring water on the stadium. Manchester United just wanted to put pressure on UEFA. After all, only children who can cry will be hurt. UEFA also knows that Manchester United has suffered a loss this time. In the future, it must be compensated more or less.

The verbal battle with Sporting Lisbon did not arouse much interest in the English media. After all, the next direct collision between Manchester United and Chelsea is the focus now.

***********
Chelsea's recent situation is not good. In the league, Chelsea did not grasp the opportunity of Manchester United's downturn at the beginning of the season to open up points. In the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Chelsea was defeated by the underdog Rosenborg at their home stadium Stamford Bridge. Grid 1:1 draw.

This also puts Chelsea coach Mourinho under tremendous pressure. The media have predicted that if Chelsea's performance fails to produce amazingly good news in the near future, the 'madman' will be dismissed.

Mourinho is not just a simple Chelsea coach, he has actually become the topic of the entire English football, even the Manchester United team back in Manchester after training at the Carrington training base. At the press conference, Li Rui was also asked by the media what he thinks of the news that Mourinho will be dismissed.

"I think this is purely a rumor. Mourinho is very important to Chelsea. I can't imagine what Chelsea would be like without Mr. Mourinho." Although Manchester United is Chelsea's main rival, however, as Manchester United As the core offensive player of the team, Li Rui still spoke highly of Mourinho.

***********
However, before the media even had time to report what Li Rui said, news came from London that the madman 'Mourinho' had officially dismissed his get out of class.

On the evening of September 9, the Chelsea Club announced on its official website that the head coach Mourinho had left.

Chelsea said on their official website: "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have reached an agreement that both parties have agreed to release the contract today."

Li Rui got the news through TV when he finished his meal. His mouth was wide open at the time. The news was so sudden. Li Rui smacked his lips and continued with his dinner, even though Mourinho was out of class. It was a sensational event, and he felt very sorry for this character coach, but, after all, it was Chelsea's business and had little to do with him.

Moreover, in a sense, before the game between Manchester United and Chelsea, there was a major change in Chelsea, such as Mourinho's dismissal, which was more beneficial to Manchester United's victory in this game.

***********
Li Rui only paid attention to Mourinho's sacking for a moment, but the entire English media, or the entire European media was hyped up by this sudden news. Regarding the process of the 'Madman Coach' dismissing get out of class this time, there is also Presented in front of everyone by the paparazzi -

After the Champions League match against Rosenborg, some of Mourinho's actions were very abnormal. He only talked with the players for 2 minutes in the locker room, criticized Kalou for missing a few opportunities, and then left the locker room.After that, he met Abramovich in the player tunnel and talked for about 2 minutes. The Portuguese then left the Stamford Bridge.

At about 6 o'clock on Wednesday night, in fact, when Li Rui and Manchester United had just arrived at Sporting Lisbon's home stadium, Jose Alballard, Chelsea's Terry, Lampard and other five players received Murray's message. A text message from Neo, in which Mourinho said he was leaving Stamford Bridge, but would show up at the training ground the next day as usual, just to say goodbye.

***********
Mourinho dismissed get out of get out of class, how big is the shock to Chelsea?Look at the comments in The Guardian, they said: "Everything about the future of the Blues is a mystery."

In fact, Chelsea is the team that Mourinho has painstakingly managed for nearly 4 years. Under his hands, Drogba, Lampard and Terry have grown into world-class stars, Essien, Carvalho, etc. Engineer players have also performed in line with their worth.However, Sheva, whom Abramovich admires, does not get much chance to perform under Mourinho.This turned out to be a major crime for Mourinho's dismissal in the end and the fuse of the split between the two.

The "Guardian" used "forced" to describe the nature of Mourinho's dismissal. Indeed, as far as Mourinho himself is concerned, he is reluctant to part with this team that has deeply imprinted his tactical thinking.

Changing managers in the first month of a new season is not the approach of a mature club, and having so-called "crisis talk" with an unbeaten first game in the Champions League is somewhat overkill.Mourinho's dismissal can only show that Abramovich can no longer tolerate coexistence with him.

***********
The most direct reaction of Mourinho's get out of class is that in BWIN and other odds about Manchester United's home game against Chelsea in the seventh round of the league, it was previously believed that Chelsea would bring the exhausted Manchester United to Old Trafford. The betting company, which is a great threat, is almost overwhelmingly optimistic about Manchester United winning at home.

In the words of The Times, Chelsea is in complete chaos now. Although the senior management of the Chelsea club announced that the Chelsea team will be temporarily commanded by the club's technical director and former Israeli national team coach Grant, no one really thinks that this Israeli guy How much can be done, you know, Mourinho's imprint on this Chelsea team is too strong.

As Li Rui said in an interview before, Chelsea without Mourinho is unimaginable.

***********
September 9, Manchester, Old Trafford Stadium, the seventh round of the 23-2007 Premier League season, Manchester United VS Chelsea at home.

The process and result of this game were as expected before the game. Because of Mourinho's lightning dismissal, this should have been a close game, a game that should have been Chelsea's 'Sanya King' last season. 'The game of revenge has become a one-man show for Manchester United!
In this game, the Israeli Grant finally stood on the sidelines as the 'acting' head coach, and he can be said to be the main force in this game, and Manchester United is also the main force.

However, the performances of the two sides on the court are very different. Manchester United players showed a strong desire to fight. Although the expedition to Lisbon in the middle of the week made the Manchester United players physically weaker than Chelsea who played at home in the middle of the week, but , Manchester United's performance is much better than Chelsea.

The Chelsea players obviously lacked confidence on the court. Although the players played very hard, their performance was really poor.

The Chelsea players are used to Mourinho's calm command on the sidelines. Now, without that 'special face' on the sidelines, the players really can't adapt.

***********
In the 12th minute of the first half, Rooney was pushed down in the frontcourt. Ronaldo took a direct free kick and hit the dead corner of the goal. Cech didn't even make a save.

Manchester United 1:0 Chelsea, the game went extremely smoothly.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Li Rui took advantage of a corner kick to score with a header to extend the score to 2:0. He even announced in advance that this exciting and intense focus game had ended early .

Ferguson replaced Li Rui after 55 minutes of the game. With more than half an hour left in the second half, he replaced the core of the team's attack against Chelsea, which was unimaginable before. The Scottish old man seems to be using this method, a disguised form of humiliation without Mourinho's Chelsea.

When Li Rui was replaced, the score at Old Trafford was Manchester United 3-0 Chelsea. Wayne Rooney, who came back from the league in this game, scored a wonderful goal after receiving a pass from Anderson. shoot.

***********
Ferguson's behavior of 'humiliating' Chelsea seems to have caused dissatisfaction among the Chelsea players. In the next half an hour of the game, the performance of the Chelsea people on the court has obviously improved.

Lampard worked very hard, and the forward line formed by Drogba and Shevchenko cannot be said to be weak.However, Chelsea's attack always felt like something was missing.

After Mourinho dismissed get out of class, Shevchenko, who got the chance to start this game, can only say half of his performance. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead is working hard. He seems to have to prove that his poor performance at Chelsea is due to lack of opportunities to play. The reason, however, is that Shevchenko at Chelsea is really average, and he doesn't have the feeling of scoring at the San Siro Stadium.

And Manchester United fans also very interestingly pulled up a banner in the stands of Old Trafford, which read, "Goodbye, Mourinho!"

***********
The final score of the game was 3:1. The efforts of the Chelsea people finally reaped a little reward. Drogba's shot hit the goal guarded by Van der Sar, saving Chelsea a little bit of face.

It is not surprising that Manchester United won. When Mourinho was still there, Manchester United with Ronaldo, Li Rui and Rooney were able to beat Chelsea many times, but the game was very difficult at that time. Now, Mourinho With Rinho dismissed from get out of class, Chelsea felt like a mess. Manchester United's win against Chelsea was nothing. After the news of Mourinho's dismissal was confirmed, many experts called the beasts. I know it well.

I just didn't expect that Ferguson would replace Li Rui not long after the start of the second half, and then at 70 minutes into the game, Ronaldo was also replaced, and Manchester United won so easily.

**********
After this humiliating 1-3 defeat, the media in London sadly ran the headline the next day: "The era of Mourinho's Chelsea is over."

When Mourinho was still the head coach of Chelsea, the media in England always 'struggled' with him, and they actually enjoyed it. Now, Mourinho has left, even though he has just left for two days. The elites have begun to miss the 'most special one', no matter in terms of newspaper sales or Chelsea's performance, Mourinho is worthy of their nostalgia!
