Chapter 659 Captain's Responsibility!
At the end of the first half, the score of 1:1 remained unchanged.

Li Rui returned to the locker room, took the towel handed over by the team doctor, and wiped his wet hair. It rained a lot at first.This is even more chilly in cold weather.The England fans in the stands are all very experienced. They all wore raincoats when they watched the game. Suddenly, the stands were colorful, like flowers being watered by rain.

Naturally, the players can only be exposed to the rain.In order to prevent the players from catching a cold, as soon as they returned to the locker room, the team staff quickly took dry towels to wipe the players from the rain.

This damn weather, Li Rui cursed.No wonder my friend Cesc Fabregas always misses Spain. Think about it too. The sunshine and beaches in Barcelona are definitely a temptation.

Ferguson was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. During the intermission, he did not make any adjustments. He just asked the players to strengthen their defense against Robinho. Indeed, in the Manchester City team, Robinho Neo is the most threatening point of attack. All Manchester City's threatening attacks come from the feet of the Brazilian star. As long as Robinho can be marked to death, Manchester City's offense will be limited.

***********
At the beginning of the second half, Li Rui scored the ball diagonally, Cristiano Ronaldo missed the ball, caught the ball, and did it in one go. Seeing that Manchester City goalkeeper Hart was in a forward position, he had an idea and chose to lob.

Hart took two steps back in embarrassment, barely lifting the football off the crossbar.

corner kick.

Nani took a corner kick, and Richards, who was in front of Manchester City's defense, missed the ball; Hargreaves headed back, and Vidic, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, jumped high and overwhelmed Kompany. football.

This powerful header was extremely fast. Manchester City goalkeeper Ha Ta subconsciously raised his left hand to block. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced back. It bounced on the white goal line. The next second , Hart quickly lay down, pressing the football firmly under his body, as if he had found a relative he had not seen for many years.

Li Rui raised his hand to signal that the goal had been scored.At the same time, Vidic also started running to celebrate.

However, the referee Weber shook his hand, indicating that there was no goal and the football did not cross the goal line. This is a goal kick.

***********
Li Rui was just about to hug and celebrate with Vidic, but he became very angry when he saw the referee's decision not to score a goal.He rushed to the referee and demanded why he had disallowed United's goal.

"The ball went in! It crossed the goal line! He hugged the football from inside the goal, and the football has passed the goal line, a goal!"

Vidic looked astonished, and he also came to complain to the referee, saying that the ball had crossed the goal line.Seeing that Webber signaled again that there was no goal, Vidic was even more excited and almost knelt down to the referee Webber. Is it easy for a central defender to score?
***********
At this time, the live TV was also repeatedly replaying what happened just now. The camera lens could clearly capture Vidic's header, and the whole ball had indeed crossed the goal line.When Manchester City goalkeeper Hart hugged the football, the football had already crossed the goal line, which means the ball was scored.

Under strong protests from Li Rui and the Manchester United players, Weber walked to the sidelines and asked the assistant referee of the game, a bank clerk named Smith. Smith said that the football did not cross the goal line, and Weber himself was not sure whether the ball had passed. After crossing the goal line and hearing what the assistant referee said, Weber chose to believe his partner. He chose to uphold the original verdict. No goal was scored and the score remained unchanged.

***********
The Manchester City fans applauded loudly, applauding Webber's penalty, and the thousands of Manchester United fans who came to the stadium were as angry as an active volcano about to erupt. Fortunately, the security and police of this game have long been ready to separate the fans from both sides.

"God, I'm sure, Webber must not have seen what happened in the penalty area just now, or he was blind, the ball did cross the line, but the referee did not award the goal as valid. Instead, the team Two yellow cards. Vidic and Li Rui, who were furious, and other Manchester United players protested loudly to the referee.

Vidic and Rooney each received a yellow card for shouting at the referee.

***********
Li Rui saw that Vidic was emotional and wanted to yell at the referee, so he had to come up and pull Vidic away. The Serbian central defender already has a yellow card. If there is another yellow card, the Manchester United team will have one player less. The score is behind, if the referee plays a card to Vidic again, it will be two yellows and one red, and he will be sent off.

Seeing that the goal was disallowed, Ferguson's face was livid on the sidelines, but he didn't yell to protest to the referee at the moment, but, with this dissatisfaction on his face, everyone knew that the old Scottish man was going to be out of anger.Ferguson had already received a yellow card. If the Scottish old man had any dissatisfaction at this time, he would probably go to the stands to direct the game.

************
While the Manchester United players were still protesting to the referee for the disallowed goal, Manchester City goalkeeper Hart saw the timing, got up, rushed to the penalty area line with the football in his arms, and threw the ball vigorously to launch an attack.

"Damn it! Back to defense!" Li Rui yelled, and chased Richards who was dribbling the ball from Manchester City's penalty area, while the other Manchester United players were also shocked and tried their best to go back to defense.

Li Rui tackled the ball on the ground, but Richards passed the football before he tackled the ball. Wright Phillips got the ball. He saw Robinho go forward at high speed, which was a good way to counterattack. Chance.Without hesitation, he sent a long pass, and the football flew towards Manchester United's half.

"Beautiful and precise long pass! Chance for Manchester City to fight back!"

***********
Although Robinho was chasing the football from behind Brown, he was very fast and dexterously went around Brown's side and back, took the lead, padded the football, and then accelerated to continue dribbling the ball Pushing forward, Brown fell to the ground and tackled the ball, and the tackle was empty.

Van der Sar attacked decisively.

Robinho caught up with the football, hooked it with his right foot, and unloaded the football beautifully. Then he observed Van der Sar's attack, raised his toe, and chose to lob.

Van der Sar was only in the middle of the attack. When he saw Robinho's lob shot, he felt cold and could only jump up conditioned reflex, trying to lift the football off the crossbar. He felt his fingers rub against the football, and the football went up a little higher. , However, still rubbed the crossbar and flew into the net.

A sharp counterattack, one kick and a wonderful lob!

***********
"GOOOOOAAAL! 2:1! A-GREAT-Goal!!! GOOAAAL!!! Robinho! Robinho! This is his second goal of the game! This is his great game !” Manchester City’s radio commentator shouted excitedly.

"There was a dramatic scene in the game. One minute ago, Manchester United scored a goal. The referee blew the ball away. They surrounded the referee Webber to protest, and Manchester City took advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack. Robinho scored the goal! 1:2! Ha! Manchester City took the lead again! Robinho played well."

"Li Rui was not mature enough. He was too obsessed with the blown ball just now. As the captain, he should be more mature and calm! The whole Manchester United team was caught off guard by Manchester City. Manchester City goalkeeper Hart Appears to be very experienced and he was another contributor to this goal."

Li Rui also seemed very annoyed. He knew that he was very responsible for the conceded ball. He was too obsessed with the blown ball just now and was too careless. At that time, Vidic should be urged to return to defense quickly. And because Li Rui was protesting to the referee as the captain on the field, other Manchester United players also came to support, but forgot to return to the defense, and Manchester City seized this good opportunity to counterattack.

***********
Li Rui didn't say anything like apologizing to his teammates. As the captain, what he needs is not an apology, but to shoulder the responsibility at this moment and help the team to score goals and win.

Li Rui asked Van der Sar to throw the football over the goal. He caught the football, put it under his arm and ran towards the middle circle, and placed the football in the middle circle. He used this move to tell his teammates and opponents , the game is not over yet, we have a chance (don't be too happy too early)! !

Seeing Li Rui doing this on the sidelines, Ferguson nodded secretly. This is what a captain should do.For a captain who is a shooter, scoring goals and leading the team to victory is the last word!
***********
Nani was advancing with the ball, facing Garrido's pressing, he passed the football back to Park Ji-sung, Li Rui reached out for the ball, and Park Ji-sung passed the football to him.

Li Rui pulled the ball and turned around. Just when he was about to break through, Ireland came up with a fierce tackle, knocking Li Rui to the ground with the ball.

The referee's whistle sounded, Manchester City made a defensive foul, and Manchester United took a free kick in the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood at the penalty spot, Webber's whistle sounded, Cristiano Ronaldo took a free kick, Hart blocked the football, Li Rui shot with a barb with his back to the goal, the football was slightly higher than the crossbar, and Manchester City was surprised The fans burst into cold sweat.

For Li Rui, Manchester City fans certainly know how good he is, and it seems that because they feel threatened, from the next moment, as soon as Li Rui touches the ball, there will be harsh boos at the Manchester Municipal Stadium.

They were afraid of Li Rui, afraid of his goal.
