Chapter 643 Calling for Heroes! (Part 1)
The Manchester United team bus arrived at the hotel where they were staying. At the entrance of the hotel, Li Rui was surrounded by reporters. The focus of their attention was naturally Li Rui's scoring shortage.

"Scoring shortage? That's right, I haven't scored in three (league) rounds. For me, key goals must always be reserved for key games. I believe that I will score in the game against Chelsea."

Hearing what Li Rui said, the reporters were very excited. As he grows older, especially after getting married and starting a family, Li Rui seldom makes such an arrogant "declaration". , Manchester United's No. 10 finally put down his harsh words.

After saying these words, Li Rui squeezed the crowd away and walked into the hotel lobby. He was not speaking in a fit of anger. He knew his own situation. Yes, the previous rounds of the league were not in a good state. However, Li Rui felt that his current situation There is no problem with his state and body, especially in the last two days of training, he feels that his goal feels great, this is really time.Li Rui was very excited to have this feeling before the match against Chelsea.

***********
Ferguson is also happy that Li Rui has shown signs of recovery in training these two days. In fact, in this game against Chelsea, he can only rely on Li Rui to score for the team. Cristiano Ronaldo is injured and will be absent at least In a month's time, Rooney received a red card after accumulating yellow cards in the last round of the league match against Liverpool. This game will also be suspended-Manchester United's offensive trident, only Li Rui is left.

Moreover, specific to this game, Ferguson has been hesitating between using a double striker or a single striker. For a single striker, Li Rui is the only offensive point, and everyone else comes to serve Li Rui. This is in Li Rui's excellent form. Time is definitely not a problem. However, although Ferguson saw that Li Rui's condition was recovering well, the difference between training and competition is naturally different, so he was a little undecided.

And if two strikers are used, it can only be the partner of Li Rui and Owen. The problem is that Owen's state has declined sharply. In such an important game, the former England golden boy really cannot let Alex Ferguson Jazz rest assured.

Ferguson is a headache for Manchester United's starting striker. On the other hand, Chelsea is naturally full of energy for the upcoming red-blue battle.

***********
Although Chelsea is doing well recently, and the points in the league are 5 points ahead of Manchester United, which has a game less. However, when it comes to the game against Manchester United, Scolari is still very cautious: "Manchester United has encountered trouble recently? I Don't think so, never ignore Manchester United, they are always the most powerful contenders for the championship, we can't take it lightly. Li Rui's scoring shortage? He just encountered a little trouble temporarily. For such a phenomenal player, what do you say It is not allowed when he will explode. In this game, he will be the object of our focus."

Other Chelsea players, including captain John Terry and deputy Frank Lampard, also spoke cautiously.

"The game between Manchester United and Chelsea is different from other games. This kind of game is always full of passion. I don't think there is any trouble for Li Rui. His performance in the European Cup surprised us. Of course, he was a teammate at that time. , we enjoyed his goals and now, what I have to do is try not to let him score, but it's always difficult."

Anelka, who is now the top scorer, also talked about this game. His statement is very interesting, "My goal? Of course it is to score a goal. Of course, I also prepared gifts. The teammates in the back line can If I defend Li Rui, I will score at least 6 more goals than him..."

Li Rui hadn't opened the pot in the league before, and Anelka scored 5 goals. The subtext of the French striker was that he wanted to score, and at the same time, he had to ask his teammates to stare at Li Rui and prevent Li Rui from scoring.This calculation is really—greedy!

***********
Last season, for Chelsea, was a relatively bad season. Mourinho's departure was regarded as the end of an era.

However, after the turmoil of last season, Chelsea is still very competitive this season. Not to mention, Abramovich invited the world champion coach Scolari. The former Brazil and Portugal national team coach accepted Chelsea. Mess, look at Scolari's Chelsea team:
Cech, Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Joe Cole... Which of these names is not famous?

With the addition of new aids Deco and Bosingwa, Chelsea's strength is comparable to that of the Mourinho era.

Moreover, judging from the first four rounds of the league, Scolari did bring something different to Chelsea.

***********
Generally speaking, a new head coach can often bring something different, and it also means a turning point for some players. After Scolari took office, several marginal players of Chelsea began to shine, and now they are getting better and better.
Anelka is the most typical example. The Frenchman was introduced by Grant, but he didn't seem to use it well, and was once labeled as a parallel importer.Anelka himself had a lot of complaints about Grant's employment. He said that he was not suitable for the wing role arranged by the Israelis at all, and that the area near the penalty area should be where he can be used.

Scolari's use of Anelka allowed him to regain his form. This season, in the first four games of the league, the French striker has scored 4 goals and became Chelsea's first scorer.The reason for such a performance, according to L'Equipe, is that it has something to do with the Brazilian coach Scolari's emphasis on ball control and coordination, which makes Anelka feel like a fish in water.

***********
Another Frenchman, Malouda, who played worse and worse under Grant, has also improved since the new season. The Frenchman himself revealed that Scolari still arranged for him to play as a winger, but there are differences in his use.He likes the situation.Malouda said: "Scolari knew me before he came to Chelsea. He tried to use my strengths and go back to playing as simple as possible. He made me play like this every day in training, and my confidence was gradually restored. "
"With confidence, you try something and open your mind. Scolari asked me to be free, because for a foreign player, to really express yourself, you have to be completely relaxed. Now I play on the field. Have a great time."
***********
Another up-and-comer was Serbian defender Ivanovic, who Grant hadn't played for half the season, but under Scolari, Ivanovic began to show his strength.Before, under Grant, the Serbian didn't get a chance to play.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech praised Ivanovic's performance very much. He said: "Since Ivanovic joined, people are talking about him. (Last season) he has been here for so long but he hasn't played a game. Nobody knows what's going on, but right now, he's playing well and I think he deserves to play."

In the Grant era, Anelka was used as a winger, Malouda was in a slump, and Ivanovic didn't even play a game. Now all three have improved development, although it is not necessarily all Stanley. The contribution of Coralis alone, but after all, it is a good sign, including the smoothness of the playing style. The Brazilian did bring some differences to Chelsea.

The samba-flavored Chelsea also began to please fans and the media. This game was also hyped by the media as the first collision between Ferguson and Scolari.

Chelsea had previously faced underdogs such as Sunderland and won by a score of more than three goals. Even in the away game against Manchester City, which has expanded its army, it also won 3:1, which made the Blues fans cheer. This game against Manchester United The game is Chelsea's first time facing a strong opponent this season, and many people are looking forward to it.

***********
As the European champions, Manchester United's strength is of course self-evident. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the red-blue battle at Stamford Bridge as sparks hitting the earth.

The only regret is that Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and absent, and Rooney was suspended. Now, only Li Rui is left in Manchester United's trident, and Li Rui's previous state was not good.

However, Li Rui's announcement when he arrived at the hotel suddenly made these regrets irrelevant for the time being. What a performance!
After Ronaldo gradually returned to the world from an alien planet, after Zidane retired, Ronaldinho's state declined. This is an era when heroes are lacking.

However, it took Li Rui three seasons to help Manchester United stand on top of Europe twice, win the Premier League twice and the Club World Cup once, especially in the European Cup this summer. The biggest contributor to Europe, in the words of "L'Equipe", Li Rui used one goal after another to explain the concept of a hero very well.

And in this game, whether Li Rui, who is in poor form, can help Manchester United win the game with a disorganized lineup, and whether he can show his heroic qualities again, everyone will wait and see.

***********
"Li Rui! We must kill Chelsea! You will definitely score, I believe in you." Walcott called Li Rui, very concerned about the game.Of course, his banner is to care for his friends.

Li Rui rolled his eyes and said to himself, I'm afraid you won't think so when the time comes for the match against Arsenal. Of course he knows what Walcott thinks, and he doesn't want to sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight , this game, no matter whether Chelsea wins or Manchester United wins, or the two sides draw, it is acceptable for Arsenal. Of course, now that Chelsea is the leader, Arsenal still hope that Manchester United can hold Chelsea back. .

After the European Cup in the summer, Li Rui has a good relationship with Arsenal's 'little tiger'. Li Rui is only a few years older than Walcott. The cooperation between Li Rui and Walcott is not bad.However, it seemed that Walcott and Little Fatty Rooney were a bit off-kilter, and the two were not convinced by each other. Of course, this was not Li Rui's concern.

It's just that Arsenal seem to underestimate Manchester United a bit.Thinking of this, Li Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will kill Chelsea, not just Chelsea, I am looking forward to the 12th round, and I will win that too." In the 12th round of the league, Manchester United will go to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott laughed dryly, said a few words and waited and saw, and hung up the phone danglingly. He felt from Li Rui's tone that this match between Manchester United and Chelsea, maybe Stamford Bridge really It will be the place where Li Rui starts to explode this season.In any case, if Manchester United can get rid of Chelsea, Arsenal will be able to temporarily take the lead.

***********
"Manchester United will definitely defend the defense and wait for opportunities to counterattack. All we have to do is not forget our defense while attacking." Scolari is making tactical arrangements. Due to Cristiano Ronaldo's injury, Rooney is suspended. Manchester United's offensive power has declined. He judged that Manchester United should focus on defense at Stamford Bridge in this game and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"For Li Rui, all the defenders must be [-]% energetic. Don't think that he has no goals in the previous few games, so you think he is not a threat. The more critical the game, the more careful you should be with such a player. This time In the game, the two full-backs can see the opportunity to assist, but they must pay attention to returning to the defense. In this game, we must not concede the ball first, otherwise it will be difficult to play later. We must strive to score first, so that Manchester United will be very happy. It’s uncomfortable. Now, their attacking power has dropped, and their defense is very good. We need to force them to attack! This way, we can seize the opportunity to score more goals!”

Scolari's English is not very good. Basically, he speaks in Portuguese first, and then the translator tells it. Of course, Portuguese players such as Bosingwa and Deco in the Chelsea team can naturally speak in the first place. understood.

***********
On the other side, Ferguson is also explaining to his players: "This Chelsea team is different from the Chelsea we are familiar with. Their desire to attack is stronger than before. Their offense is sharp, and the two wingers attack. They are very threatening. In addition, their defense is also very good, which makes it difficult for us to attack... In this game, Chelsea will attack at home. When their two full-backs assist, it is our chance to counterattack. There won't be many chances like this, so, on offense... Li Rui, you won't have many chances to shoot, don't waste your chances."

"Don't worry, boss." Li Rui nodded.It seems that the boss is really not satisfied with his performance, otherwise he wouldn't use the word 'wasted opportunity'.Li Rui felt the pressure. Of course, this only made him more eager to score goals.
