Chapter 624 The Most Starry Stage!
Mourinho suddenly raised his right arm and raised two fingers towards the sky. You can see how excited he is.

The England bench erupted the moment Li Rui shot the football into the empty goal. They threw towels and jackets into the sky, and the water in the water bottle was sprayed everywhere like champagne for celebration.

Being able to equalize the score before the end of the first half made the England players breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if they enter the intermission with a score behind 0:1, the second half of the game will be difficult.

***********
The English players on the field were still celebrating the goal. The referee had to signal the English players to go back quickly. The German players had placed the footballs in the middle circle, and they were waiting for them to take their positions for the kick-off.

The little fat man was obviously very happy. While walking towards the middle circle, he did not forget to extend his hands to applaud the fans in the stands.

"It feels so good to score in the final of the European Cup. It's a pleasure that can't be compared with ten goals in the normal league." Rooney said with a grin.

"Can I understand that you are showing off?" Li Rui rolled his eyes.

And England captain Beckham was also very excited. He waved his hands upward towards the stands. Every time he waved, the fans gave a huge cheer.

"David (Beckham) is a real captain, this is his last European Cup..." Lineker said with emotion.

"It can end with a European championship trophy. Is there anything more wonderful than this?" Taibi asked with a smile. "Of course, it is still a draw. The boys still have to work hard."

"No!" This is the fans in front of the TV shouted loudly.

***********
The German team performed very steadily and did not seem to be affected by this conceded goal. The tactical discipline of the German players is very good. In a word, it is almost like a landslide before their eyes without changing their face. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable , the rock-hard German team is the kind of team no team wants to play against.

The German team soon instigated an attack.

Beckham made a beautiful pass, and Gerrard cleverly padded the football to Li Rui with a knee. Li Rui had just stopped the ball in the chest, but was bumped from behind by Schweinsteiger, who was going to stumble. He slipped and fell to the ground, and the football was also taken away by Schweinsteiger!
Li Rui loudly protested to referee Rossetti for Schweinsteiger's foul, but the referee ignored his appeal.Rossetti's gesture is clear:

No foul, the game continues!
***********
After stealing the ball, Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Ballack with a half-high pass, and he turned around and moved forward. Almost at the same time, the entire German team quickly began to invest in the counterattack.

Although the scene of the German team was slightly passive, when they got a chance to fight back, they were as spectacular as the tides rising and falling. It seems more vivid to attack.

***********
Ballack didn't stop the ball, he pushed the ball and immediately passed the ball to Schweinsteiger, which was a hit-the-wall coordination.

Schweinsteiger tapped his heel, and Rolfes got the ball. He slid down, then accelerated and swung laterally, avoiding the interference of Hargreaves.

"Beautiful heel! Bastian (Schweinsteiger) has a Brazilian soul! Simon (Rolfis) has a good ball, he goes past Hargreaves - he takes it all Ball, sprint, sprint, sprint." The German commentator stood up and shouted.The first half of the game has gone to the last moment, and the electronic signal board for the 2-minute stoppage time of the first half game was raised on the sidelines. This can be said to be the last chance for the German team to attack. If they can score, they will The score was overtaken again, it was perfect.

***********
Seeing that Hargreaves was broken by Rolfes, Lampard immediately rushed up from the side without hesitation, intending to tackle the ball at Rolfes' feet.

Rolfes, however, caught the foot of Lampard's tackle and passed the ball.

Hitzlsperger, who got the ball, slammed the ball directly, and accelerated running without hesitation. Although Beckham, who was defending him, chased desperately, he was pulled away. Speed ​​is not Beckham's strong point.

Then, in the face of Terry who came out to intercept, Hitzlsperger made an emergency stop, barely letting Terry tackle the ball, and then Hitzelsperger knocked the football forward with his left foot.

breakthrough!

***********
"It's over! It's over! Thomas (Hitzelsperger) broke through!! Now there are no England players in front of him! This is the opportunity! Lukas (Podolski) and Miloslav (Kloe) Ze) are running, three on two! This is a chance to score!"

"Damn!" James looked very nervous, he shouted at his teammates, commanding the defense, "Stop him!"

However, the problem now is that in England's penalty area, there are only Ferdinand and Ashley Cole who is back on defense, and the German team has three offensive players.

At this moment, what everyone didn't expect was that Hitzlsperger suddenly took a long shot. England goalkeeper James didn't respond to his long shot. He turned his head and the football hit After hitting the post and bouncing back, James, who was in a cold sweat, quickly fell to the ground and threw the football under him.

***********
Hitzlsperger has the ability to take a long shot. He felt very good when this shot was shot, but he was very annoyed when he saw the football hit the post and was caught by James. He scratched his hair and spat on the ground.

"Damn it! Why didn't you pass the ball?" Ballack, the captain of the German team, yelled at Hitzlsperger. He was very dissatisfied with Hitzlsperger's choice of his own long-range shot just now. The field formed a three-on-two situation, which was a good opportunity to score, but Hitzlsperger chose to go it alone.

Of course, if Hitzlsperger's shot did not hit the post, but scored a goal, it would be a different matter. This can also be said to be winner or loser.

***********
Hitzlsperger, who was reprimanded by Ballack, looked very bad. Klose patted him on the shoulder and expressed comfort, "That shot was good. Michael is also for the team."

Hitzlsperger nodded embarrassingly but gratefully, to show he understood.He wanted to score too much just now, and didn't pass the ball to Klose, who was in a better position. He didn't expect Klose to come to comfort him.

The German team is very united, and Ballack yelling at Hitzlsperger is also out of consideration for the team, not selfish. In fact, this is the terrible thing about the German team. In European football, other There are more or less internal disputes in the giants. The relationship between black players and white players in the Dutch team has always been tense. There are many gangs in the French team. The cohesion of the Spanish team has been criticized by the outside world before.

Only Germany has always been united and cohesive.

***********
Hitzlsperger's long-range shot just now was the last chance for the German team to attack in the first half.

Then, the England team attacked, James kicked the football forward, Beckham gave the football to Lampard, Lampard just passed the football to Gerrard, Li Rui reached out for the ball, but heard the host Referee Rossetti blew the whistle to end the first half.

"At the end of the first half, England 1:1 Germany. After 45 minutes of the game, the two sides temporarily drew. After the 15-minute intermission, we expect the second half of the game to be even more exciting."

"Overall, the first half can be regarded as the most exciting in recent European Cup finals. After the opening, the England team was more aggressive, while the German team was still very stable. This makes us a little Unexpectedly, I thought that the England team would adopt a more conservative strategy, and obviously, Mr Mourinho surprised us again."

"The tactics of the German team were very successful, but the Germans who were passive in the scene took the lead to break the deadlock on the field. Podolski's goal can be called the most beautiful goal of the German team in this cup. And the England team continued Contrary to the previous rules, as long as Li Rui performs well, there will be goals. England's offensive organization is very beautiful, Li Rui's breakthrough is very exciting, and the shooting is also very good. It is a pity that Goddess of Luck did not raise the skirt for him. Rooney's follow-up shot was crucial!"

"Now it's a 1:1 draw. If both sides want to win the championship, they must work harder to score goals. The England team has surprised everyone this summer. Their offense is very beautiful. Li Rui's performance has made everyone overwhelmed. This is the final , is a contest between two of the most beautiful teams in Europe, there is no reason for this game to be dull. We will wait and see for the second half of the game."

***********
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, high-fiving every player who came off the pitch.

Li Rui was the last one to leave the field. He high-fived Mourinho, lifted his jersey and wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting for breath.

"Is your strength gone?" Back in the locker room, Mourinho patted Li Rui on the shoulder.

Li Rui was in a hurry, he didn't want to be replaced, this is the final of the European Cup, who knows if he will have the chance to stand on this stage in the future, he quickly shook his head, expressing that he is fine and can proceed to the second half of the game.

"No, boss, I'm perfectly fine! Trust me, boss!"

Mourinho nodded. Since Li Rui said he was fine, he was relieved. England really cannot do without Li Rui if they want to score goals.

***********
Mourinho then praised Rooney, who equalized the score for England in the first half, which made the little fat man almost unable to close his mouth, clamoring that if England won the championship, the Queen of England would definitely award him an honor.

Mourinho glared at Rooney, "The game is not over yet, do you think the Germans will hand over the championship."

"Of course not, boss." Rooney quickly shook his head like a rattle.

Mourinho ignored Rooney and turned to everyone, "In the first half, everyone performed well. Being able to equalize the score before the end of the first half is very important for the second half. I'm proud of you!!" Mourinho pointed to his chest.

ooh ooh...

There was a burst of cheers and strange shouts in the locker room. Mourinho rarely praised his players so much during the halftime break, which made the players very proud.

***********
In the locker room of the German team, it was very quiet. All the players were sitting in their seats, watching the head coach quietly. Such an atmosphere even made people think that the German team was behind at the end of halftime.

This is the German team, even if the score is leading, they will not be too proud, not to mention that it is only a draw now, there is really nothing to be too happy about.

This is also the difference between the Germans and the English. The English are more passionate. This is why Mourinho's English players praised and encouraged them loudly in the face of the same score, while the German locker room was relatively calm.

***********
"In the first half of the game, it can be seen that our tactics are correct." Loew waved his hand, "In the second half of the game, we must stick to the tactics of the first half."

"However, the performance in the midfield was not good enough in the first half. We must control the midfield. The midfield must be more aggressive. We cannot let them dribble the ball comfortably, especially Li Rui. Don't let him get the ball easily. ...Also pay attention to the long-range shots of the English, within 35 meters from the goal, pay attention to close pressing, don't let them take long-range shots comfortably!"

"Li Rui has a strong personal ability and can create opportunities for his teammates. When defending him, he must also pay attention to the defense of England's interspersed players."

When Loew said this, Metzelder was even more annoyed. In the first half of the game, it was he who failed to keep up with Rooney, which gave Rooney a chance to make a supplementary shot.

Loew did not criticize Metzelder by name. He knew that the players would pay attention to what he said. The German players' tactical quality is their greatest strength.

***********
Jessica and Victoria came to the coffee shop in the VIP lounge of the Ernst Harper Stadium for a break.

The two of them are in the "Women of England", and they are a little different. The relationship between Victoria and other members of the "Women" has never been very good, or it can only be said to be average, and Li Rui and Beckham are friends, and Jessica is also a friend. It's closer to Victoria. Of course, the two are also the most famous in England's "Women", so it's normal to walk together.

They didn't take two sips of coffee. Of course, their minds were not on coffee. Both Jessica and Victoria were thinking about the second half of the game, and they were both a little nervous.

This is not surprising.

The 2008 European Cup should be Beckham's last European Cup. If England can't win this European Cup, Beckham's career will miss the Delaunay Cup.Moreover, this is the first time in England's history that it has reached the final of the European Cup. It is only one step away from the championship. Bobby Moore, the legendary captain who won the World Cup, is the captain of the same name, and is widely read and worshiped by England fans.Therefore, Victoria is understandably nervous about her husband.

As for Jessica, this is Li Rui's first European Cup, and if he can win the European Cup, it will be a myth. Moreover, Jessica is no longer a pseudo-fan at the beginning, she knows, To win the championship of intercontinental competitions such as the European Cup and the World Cup, what a height it means to Li Rui's career!Therefore, Jessica is also nervous, she is praying for Li Rui.

In addition, Li Rui has scored 9 goals in this European Cup, which is equal to the single European Cup scored by the French superstar and current UEFA President Michel Platini in the 1984 French European Cup. If Li Rui can score another goal in the final, a new record will be created, which will also be recorded in the history of the European Cup.

Therefore, Jessica is also looking forward to the second half of the game.

***********
There was an episode when Jessica and Victoria returned to the box together.

The two ran into Manchester United coach Ferguson who came to the stadium to watch the game. The old Scottish man greeted Jessica, and then walked past Jessica's Victoria as nothing.

Jessica was also a little embarrassed. She only heard that Ferguson was very dissatisfied with Victoria because Victoria 'brought away' Beckham. No greetings, it can be seen that the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated to the point where they don't even bother to pretend.

Victoria snorted, "Let's go, ignore that rude old Scottish man."

Jessica smiled wryly, and didn't take up the point. Victoria could say that, but Ferguson was Li Rui's mentor, so Jessica couldn't say that.

The two returned to the box and looked into the court. At this time, players from both sides were already on the court. However, the England players did not spread out according to the formation, but formed a circle.

***********
Before the game started, England captain David Beckham called his team-mates together.

"The game is about to start. I want to say that I am desperate for the championship-this is my last European Cup! It is also the first time that England has entered the European Cup final. If we win, we are the heroes of England! We created History"

Beckham called everyone to get together and stand in a circle, with his right hand around Rooney's shoulder and his left around Li Rui's shoulder, and the others followed suit. Eleven people formed a circle, and then , they bowed down.Head to head, shoulder to shoulder.

"one two Three--"

"champion!"

"champion!"

"champion!!"

Everyone roared in unison, this is the roar of fighters, this is the belief in fighting, this is the desire for the champion!
Everyone is excited, let's fight!

***********
Li Rui stood up and turned his head to look at the sidelines. On the sidelines, the Delaunay Cup was quietly placed there... Witness this night, witness this battle!
O glory, king of Europe, are you waiting for me?
Li Rui gritted his teeth and raised his head suddenly. The night sky in Vienna is very beautiful, and he has boundless fighting spirit in his chest. For Li Rui, this is his battlefield, his stage!
The most star-studded stage!
