Chapter 803 Handpicked England Captain! (Chapter 57!)

Just when Terry's "Friends' Wife Gate" was being hyped, Mourinho's words gave the media a new point of interest.

Mourinho said that England captain David Beckham, second captain Gerrard, after these two, the third captain will be Li Rui.

This shocked the English football world. If it was an 'accident' for Li Rui to wear the captain's armband due to the absence of many players in the warm-up match between England and Brazil in October, then Mourinho's The statement is undoubtedly a recognition of Li Rui's status in the England team.

However, this also made many media puzzled, because in front of Li Rui, if ranked according to seniority, there are Ferdinand and Lampard, and Li Rui will never be England's third captain.

In response to Mourinho's statement, the English media immediately hyped wildly.

When the parties Ferdinand and Lampard were interviewed by the media, many people who wanted to watch the show were disappointed. Ferdinand said, "Li Rui is fully qualified to be the captain. He did a good job when he was in Manchester United. He showed that against [England and] Brazil."

And Lampard also said that he respects Mourinho's choice and sent his blessings to Li Rui.

**********
Of course the media didn’t know. Both Ferdinand and Lampard had received a call from Mourinho to appease them. Ferdinand was better. He had a good relationship with Li Rui at Manchester United. Li Rui was at Manchester United at the time At that time, he was the second captain, ranking ahead of Ferdinand, and now Ferdinand is naturally easy to accept this time; Lampard's situation is a bit more complicated. After Terry was awarded the qualification of second captain, Lampard is Chelsea. As the representative of the England team, if Lampard is to compromise, only Mourinho can do the work himself.

Mourinho called Li Rui to ask Li Rui's opinion on this matter. On the one hand, Mourinho really admired Li Rui, and on the other hand, Mourinho also wanted to use this matter to To divert the attention of the media, the England team is already panicking because of Terry's "Friends' Wife Gate".

Li Rui was appointed as the third captain, which can divert the attention of the media and stimulate the England team to temporarily escape from the "Friends' Wife Gate" incident.

**********
Of course, Mourinho chose Li Rui as the team's third captain after careful consideration. Although the media may be extremely controversial about this matter, there is little resistance within the England team, represented by Ferdinand and Rooney. The Manchester United players naturally support Li Rui, but players from Leeds United such as Alan Lennon and Milner will also be Li Rui's supporters, and players from small balls such as Aston Villa will come out , and will not object, after all, they admire Li Rui's fame and strength, captain Beckham will also be Li Rui's supporter, the one who may really be emotional is Lampard, but, in Mourinho Lampard, too, will be reassured after Au does the work himself.

In a word, the current England team, whether it is Mourinho or the players, the first thing to consider is the World Cup, and everything is focused on the World Cup.

***********
On January 2010.1.31, 20, in the 3th round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away at Deportivo 1:30. Li Rui scored his 30th league goal of the season. (The previous calculation was wrong, it should be [-] balls)

On February 2010.2.7, 21, in the 3st round of La Liga, Real Madrid 0-[-] Espanyol at home, Li Rui scored no goals but had an assist.

2010.2.14, Valentine's Day, this day is also the match day of the 22nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid away game with Jerez.

For Li Rui, and for the Chinese abroad, this day is not only Valentine's Day, but more importantly, it is the 2010 Spring Festival.

Li Rui was not in a good mood that day. He originally planned to bring his parents to Madrid to celebrate the new year. However, Li Haisheng and Zhang Huifen were unwilling to come. As they got old, they were even more reluctant to part with their hometown. Li Haisheng said that he only went to Manchester a few times. Find out the southeast, northwest, and now, I'm in Madrid again. I'm not familiar with the place, so it's boring to go there.

This made Li Rui feel very unfilial. On this day of family reunion, he couldn't be reunited with his parents.

Before the start of the game, in the locker room, Li Rui wrote words of blessing to his parents on his jersey. He planned to dedicate it to his elders in China after scoring a goal. This game is broadcast live in China, and the court broadcasts the game live.

***********
The game has reached the stoppage time stage, the score on the field is 2:0, and Real Madrid is leading away. However, the camera cannot see the slightest joy on Li Rui's face. This is because the two goals are both It wasn't Li Ruijin. He hasn't had the chance to lift up his jersey and send blessings to his parents in China.

"Because the game went smoothly in the second half, the fourth official only gave 3 minutes of stoppage time. We saw that Li Rui's face was very bad. Obviously he hoped to score a goal. Today is the traditional festival of Chinese New Year. He wants to I want to dedicate a goal to my family, unfortunately, he had bad luck in the game today..." The local commentator in Jerez gloated, not because he hated Li Rui, but because of what Li Rui said before the game talk.

Li Rui said before the game that he would score a goal in the game to dedicate to his family, which made the Jerez people very upset, so in today's game, Li Rui played very passively and had few opportunities.Even the narrator thought Li Rui was too proud, so he made fun of it.

***********
When the game entered the second minute and 2 seconds of stoppage time, that is, at 35 minutes and 92 seconds of the game, Real Madrid launched their last attack of the game.

After receiving a pass from Las Diarra, van der Vaart dribbles towards the penalty area of ​​Jerez.

Because this is an offense from defense to offense, most of the players in Jerez are still desperately returning to defense. However, for them who have fought for 10 minutes, many of them are exhausted and can only grit their teeth and persevere. Losing is certain. For the Jerez players, they want to prevent Li Rui from scoring and embarrass the guy who threatened to score before the game.

***********
Van der Vaart passed the football to Li Rui. Li Rui pulled the ball and turned around, speeding up and dribbling the ball in one go. The Jerez players immediately came up to intercept.

I have to admire Li Rui's skills at his feet. Facing the dribbling with the football almost sticking to his feet, none of the Jerez defenders dared to steal the ball, for fear of giving Real Madrid a free kick in front of the penalty area at the last moment. You know, Li Rui's free kick scoring rate is astonishingly high.

In fact, this was also Li Rui's plan. He didn't have many chances in sports battles today, and his luck was not good. He wanted to try his luck with a set ball. Li Rui was still very confident in his footwork.

However, seeing that Jerez's defender did not dare to make a move, Li Rui moved immediately. He flicked the football horizontally, raised his foot to pretend to shoot, but deftly flicked the football to the outside and passed the football.

***********
Marcelo, who had returned from injury, passed the football, and then kicked the football into the penalty area.

Raul, who was at the front point, jumped up and wanted to shake his head to attack the goal. The football was first pushed by Jerez defender Esami, and the football flew to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Li Rui made the right judgment and rushed towards the football. At the same time, the two defenders of Jerez also returned to the defense, trying to scoop the football out of the danger zone first.

Li Rui didn't give them a chance. He knocked the football through the narrow gap between the two defenders with the heel of his right foot in a very light horizontal run, and then jumped up by himself. When the two were about to close the door, it seemed It squeezed over like a loach, and after landing, it accelerated violently!
The two defenders were caught off guard. How could they expect Li Rui to break through this way? The two collided and fell there. They could only watch Li Rui enter the penalty area.

***********
"Breakthrough!! Opportunity! Will Li Rui score a goal? Single-handedly! Will he give the fans a New Year's Day prize?" Duan Xuan shouted.

Li Rui, who was in front of the goal, faced the goalkeeper Renan of Jerez and made a fake shot. After deceiving Renan to fall to the ground, he buckled the football back and easily pushed the football to the near corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!"

"Li - Rui -!!"

"Li Rui, he scored a goal! He really scored a goal!! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I am really happy to see such a wonderful goal by Li Rui. This is Li Rui's 31st in the league. He also set a record in La Liga. He scored 22 goals in only 31 rounds of the league! This is an unprecedented record. Of course, it may not be unprecedented. Maybe Li Rui will create One new record after another?"

***********
After scoring the goal, Li Rui looked very excited and excited. He ran towards the corner flag with all his strength. Li Rui had already noticed the camera lens behind it. While running, Li Rui took off his jersey to reveal the T-shirt inside. He ran to the camera and shouted loudly, "Mom and Dad, Happy Chinese New Year, I love you all!!"

The director also pointed the camera at Li Rui's T-shirt, which had the mysterious square characters on it, which said, "Mom and Dad, cook me another bowl of dumplings filled with three delicacies! Haha."

***********
This scene moved many fans in front of the TV. At this moment, they felt that Li Rui was no longer that famous football star, but gave people the feeling that he was the boy from the old Wang family next door, or his own child, wandering outside. ,It's not easy.

In front of the TV, Zhang Huifen complained to Li Haisheng, "It's all because of you, you don't want to go to Madrid, look, the child can't even eat dumplings, it's Chinese New Year."

Li Haisheng didn't say a word.He also felt bad.

"Why don't we book a plane ticket to Madrid?"

"If it's Chinese New Year, the child will definitely not agree with us messing around."

"It's fine if you don't tell Xiao Rui..."

"Is it appropriate?"

"What's wrong, I said yes, I'll go and book the air ticket... By the way, make more dumplings, put them in the refrigerator, and take them with you when you board the plane...

"

"Yes, it's stuffed with three delicacies."
