Chapter 521 There is a trade-off! (Ask for a monthly ticket! The 4th update and the third update with a minimum guarantee!)

Sky TV's "90 Minutes of Glory" rated Li Rui's ultra-long-range lob shot from 51 meters away in the Champions League quarter-final match against Roma last week as Li Rui's most recent Best goal in over a month.

Obviously, Sky TV is not alone. Because of this lob shot from 51 meters away, Li Rui once again appeared on the covers and headlines of all media, even on the homepage of UEFA's official website. Reported his wonderful goal.

In England, especially in Manchester, the Manchester media is hyping their number one star.

***********
However, Li Rui did not get lost in the overwhelming praise. He understood that no matter how beautiful the goal was, it was just a goal, and it had already become a thing of the past. No amount of praise would have much practical significance. Now, the Manchester United team is facing the most critical moment for the championship. Only at the end of the season, when the championship trophy is raised with both hands, is the happiest, most real, and most satisfying!
***********
Everyone at the Carrington training base can see that Li Rui trains hard at the training base every day, trying to maintain his state, and doing so many seemingly boring and tedious shooting drills every day.

In the words of the old janitor of the Carrington training base, he has seen Cantona's training and Ruud van Nistelrooy's training, but none of them worked as hard as Li Rui.

Although Li Rui's hard training is just his own personal behavior, what he didn't expect is that his teammates are also deeply touched by his hard training. As the top scorer in the team, Li Rui is still so conscious If you practice your shooting skills, how can others be lazy?

Li Rui himself didn't expect that his hard training had to a certain extent stimulated the whole team's serious training atmosphere and improved the quality of training.

In the eyes of Ferguson Ferguson, the old Scottish man was very satisfied with this scene on the training field. In his opinion, Li Rui's example has influenced his teammates to train hard. This also shows to a certain extent that Li Rui Rui's status in the team, only those who have won the trust and respect of their teammates can truly serve as role models.

***********
On April 4, Li Rui took the bus with Manchester United to the away game. They will go to Ewood Park to face Blackburn.

Arsenal will face Reading at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium.

Now the whole of England is focusing on the Emirates Stadium and Ewood Park Stadium. With only 4 rounds left in the league, each round of the league will have a great impact on the ownership of the championship.

Li Rui lay in the hotel room where he was staying, watching TV boredly. This is ESPN, which is predicting the current round of the Premier League game.

"Phil, what do you think of these two games." ESPN's expert host John Cochran asked his partner Phil Sherwood.

"Arsenal have only one trophy left to fight for this season, the league title, and they are four points ahead of Manchester United, which allows Arsene Wenger's team to deal with Reading in a more relaxed state of mind, and, Reading has successfully avoided relegation, so it is not a big problem for Arsenal to win this game." Phil Sherwood said.

"What about the players at Ewood Park?" John Cochrane narrowed his eyes. He knew that his partner liked to say such transitional sentences, and he could already guess what his partner was going to say next.

Sure enough, Phil Sherwood went on to say, "Manchester United are not. In the middle of last week, they played Roma in the Champions League, and then last weekend, they played Arsenal at Old Trafford. After a hard fight, and only a draw, all of these put Ferguson's team at a disadvantage, both in terms of physical fitness and mentality, and..."

"Moreover, Manchester United will be distracted by the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool in the middle of next week." John Cochrane said after taking over from his partner.

"That's right, besides, don't forget that Blackburn has not been relegated. This game is not so easy for Manchester United. So, I think, this game, Manchester United will have reservations. I believe that in the league Between the Champions League and the Champions League, Sir Alex Ferguson must have made a trade-off, that is-the Champions League trophy is more in line with the current situation of Manchester United."

***********
In front of the TV, Li Rui sighed. He had to admit that this group of 'experts called beasts' still had two tricks, because everyone in the Manchester United team already knew clearly that Ferguson was really important for the difference between the league and the Champions League. A trade-off has been made, that is, as Phil Sherwood said, Manchester United's primary goal is the Champions League!

This season, Manchester United's physical condition has been very poor. Last summer's commercial competition seriously interfered with Manchester United's summer training preparations, and the long journey to participate in the Club World Cup and the subsequent supplementary matches in the league made Manchester United's schedule more intensive. , Li Rui, who is in good physical condition, feels exhausted, let alone other teammates.

Therefore, for Manchester United, between the league and the Champions League, it is the most sensible to give up one of the championships and concentrate on one event.

Ferguson's consideration is very clear. Even if Manchester United maintains a complete victory in the next 4 rounds of the league, their fate is still not in their own hands, because Arsenal only need to win three of the next four games. Victory, the league title belongs to Arsenal.

In the Champions League, as long as Manchester United can do their best to win their opponents, counting the two semi-finals and the subsequent finals, as long as they win these three tough games, Manchester United will also win this season. It's been a successful season.

Therefore, to choose between the two, Ferguson made a very sensible choice.

***********
Sky TV broadcast the 35th round of the league, Blackburn at their home Ewood Park and Manchester United.

However, when the game was about to start, Sky TV commentators Taibi and Lineker, who got the starting lists of both sides, were stunned. Manchester United's starting striker partners were Owen and Giuseppe Rossi. The midfielder also did not see the name of Cristiano Ronaldo.

After the game started, everyone saw that Li Rui was sitting on the bench, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Scholes simply sat in the stands at Ewood Park.

Lineker and Taibi looked at each other, both of them understood that Manchester United gave up the league? !
Sky TV broadcast the game between Manchester United and Blackburn, and there was a big own goal. Manchester United will not fight in the game at all. It is estimated that even after the game starts, part of the energy of the Manchester United players has already been put in the middle of next week. Went to the Champions League semi-final first leg against Liverpool.

Moreover, in the face of Blackburn, who is fighting for relegation, Manchester United players will be very careful to avoid injury.

***********
Sure enough, in this game, Manchester United finally drew with Blackburn 1:1 away. Santa Cruz took the lead for Blackburn in the 21st minute of the game.

In the first half of the game, when Blackburn entered the intermission with a 1:0 lead, Lineker asserted that it would be impossible for Manchester United to take three points from the Ewood Stadium in this game, even if It is also difficult for Li Rui to win the game because, "Blackburn is leading now, so in the second half of the game, it will be even more difficult for Manchester United to score goals." '

Sure enough, as Lineker said, after the start of the second half of the game, Blackburn put up an iron barrel formation with the goal of defending a one-ball lead, facing the big turtle with its entire body shrunk into its shell, The Manchester United team, which played with a semi-main lineup, has no good way at all.

Li Rui came off the bench in the 85th minute of the game. He replaced Giuseppe Rossi. Ferguson meant to let Li Rui warm up and feel the atmosphere of the game. After all, Li Rui has been in good form recently. If you spend 90 minutes on the bench and your condition is gone, it will be bad.

After Li Rui came on the field, Manchester United's offense improved immediately, and in the 89th minute of the game, Li Rui broke into the penalty area with the ball and was pulled down by Blackburn defender Emeldon. The referee Robert awarded a penalty. After Owen's penalty kick was saved, Li Rui scored with a clever supplementary shot.

The score was also fixed at 1:1!

***********
After scoring the goal, Li Rui was extremely excited. Although he understood the coach's arrangement to give up the league and complied with Ferguson's arrangement, Li Rui still wanted to play in his heart, partly because of his desire for victory. Eagerness and the spirit of not giving up until the last moment. In addition, Li Rui still takes his promise of scoring 30 goals in the league to heart!He didn't want to be a laughing stock. Although Manchester United gave up the league, it could be an excuse for Li Rui not to score, but Li Rui didn't like it.

After scoring this goal, Li Rui also scored 24 goals in the league, only 1 goal behind Drogba, who is the leader in the scorer list. More importantly, Li Rui is 30 goals away from the goal. Only 6 balls left.

He will not give up, as long as the head coach gives him a chance to play, Li Rui will try his best to seize any opportunity. Of course, Li Rui understands that he must obey the team's strategic arrangements.

***********
The score of 1:1 made many commentators feel sorry for the Manchester United team, thinking that if the Manchester United team had sent Li Rui earlier, they could have even scored 3 points, and there was no hope for the league championship.

However, after the game, Manchester United did not regret the 1:1 score, because on another venue, Arsenal easily defeated Reading 2:0 at the Emirates Stadium.

In the case of Arsenal triumphantly, the wily Ferguson chose to give up the league wisely, and it proved to be correct.

***********
Three days later, the Manchester United team set off for Liverpool by bus to prepare for the first round of the Champions League semi-finals and Liverpool! !

After the restructuring of the Champions League, no defending champion has been able to successfully defend the title. What about Li Rui's Manchester United this year? !
