Chapter 865 Jessica is here! (Chapter 1, ask for a monthly pass!)

"A whistle from the referee Simon from Brazil, the game is over! England [-]:[-] America! At the Royal Banfalken Stadium, on this night, England and the United States teamed up to present a wonderful game for everyone. It was the most beautiful game since the opening of this World Cup. Li Rui scored twice, Beckham and Rooney scored goals, and the US team also performed exceptionally tenaciously. They almost created a miracle!"

Altidore, who scored a goal for the US team in this game, rushed to the court as soon as the whistle was over. He wanted to exchange jerseys with Li Rui. This was planned by Altidore long ago. It is a memorable event to exchange jerseys with the world's number one star Li Rui in the World Cup.

However, Altidore saw that Li Rui was intercepted by captain Donovan halfway. Donovan found Li Rui and wanted to exchange jerseys.It seems that many people have the same idea as him.

Li Rui originally planned to keep this jersey. After all, this is the jersey he wore for his World Cup debut. For Donovan's face, of course, the most important thing is that Donovan and the US team's performance today won Li Rui's respect.

***********
Take off the jersey, hand it to Donovan, take Donovan's jersey, and throw it on the shoulder.The two had to exchange a few words, and immediately countless microphones were passed to Li Rui. As the number one player in the world, Li Rui scored twice tonight. He is the biggest contributor to England's victory and is undoubtedly the best player tonight. .

"Li, let's talk about your feelings! Congratulations on scoring [-] goals in the first match of the World Cup." The microphone was almost passed to Li Rui's mouth.

"Thank you. It is every player's dream to score goals in the World Cup. I am very happy." Li Rui is still immersed in the joy of this game.

There were more and more reporters, and Li Rui was almost completely surrounded. He managed to deal with the media and escaped. Seeing that Beckham had just come out of the circle of reporters, the two laughed and clapped hands to celebrate the victory of the game. victory.

In all fairness, it was not easy for England to win this game. At the time of the [-]:[-] tie, the whole England team was under great pressure. Just one more goal, which expanded the lead and stabilized the morale of the army. Once the game is dragged into the last few minutes, it is really unknown who will win.

***********
England [-]:[-] England's game immediately became the focus of media reports the next day, and FIFA's official website also used the comment of "thrilling goal war" on this game.

In the games before this game, the one with the most goals was the opener South Africa [-]:[-] Mexico, and it was still a tie. The most disappointing thing was that Argentina only beat Nigeria [-]:[-], and the fans also rushed I am worried that this World Cup in South Africa will become the World Cup with the fewest goals in history.

And England's [-]:[-] US team undoubtedly made everyone's eyes shine. Blatter also praised the game between England and the United States in public after the game. Of course, he didn't forget to put a sticker on his face. Jin, "The match between England and the United States showed that the World Cup in South Africa can be a wonderful game. It was correct for FIFA to choose Africa as the venue."

***********
The British peninsula is also full of joy. In the Confederations Cup last year, the American team won the runner-up. The performance of the American team in this game also proved that the American team is not easy to deal with. However, England can still withstand the pressure and win the United States. This made England fans very happy, and the media also believed that England had taken the first step towards the championship.

The analysis of the English media on this is very simple and unexpectedly consistent-although the score of [-]:[-] in this game is very surprising, it also shows that the game is very difficult, which just shows that after England won the European championship, they are more Mature, England is already a team of champions who can fight tough battles.

England fans are used to believing what the media says.Since the media say that England is very strong, then England is really strong.What's more, it seems that it was only yesterday that England stood at the top of Europe in the European Cup in [-], so England is very happy.

***********
Even the "Times", which has always been very cautious, said that after winning the most difficult opponent in the group stage, the US team, England can already consider the issue of the top [-] in the group stage.

For a while, the British peninsula was filled with all kinds of optimism, as if qualifying from the group was no longer a problem, and the opponents of Algeria and Slovenia behind were simply chickens and dogs, who could be killed in one shot.

It's not only the media's exaggeration that has this trend of thought, but even some people in the England team thought so.

Mourinho also noticed the optimism among the players, but he didn't care about it. In Mourinho's view, England is confident and optimistic, which is not a bad thing. It is better for players to have confidence than to have no confidence in their chests. be good.

Mourinho is indeed already thinking about the top [-] match. What he is worried about is the problem of England's defense in the game against the US team. The 'madman' knows that England's performance against the US team The level of the defense line, in the knockout round, is absolutely unable to stop the impact of other strong teams. . .At this moment, Mourinho infinitely missed Ferdinand, who withdrew from the World Cup due to injury.

***********
The atmosphere in the training the next morning was very relaxed. As the English media said, winning the US team reassured the players a lot. They believed that neither Algeria nor Slovenia was capable of causing trouble for the mighty England. strength.

After this day's training session, Mourinho even slightly rehabilitated goalkeeper Green, who made a low-level error in the game against the US team and almost became a sinner accused by England.

British kinematics expert Hossent made a special call to the FA during the match between England and the United States to discuss the topic of Green's non-threatening shot by Dempsey.

Hossent said that after researching the ball used in this World Cup and the reactions of the teams that used it, he found that the special ball for this World Cup is very suitable for shooting, but it is a disaster for goalkeepers.This ball is suitable for power shots, not for curve balls.This ball runs away as soon as it comes into contact with the external force. It reacts very sensitively to external forces. It is extremely fast and runs away as soon as it is hit. Moreover, it will not become deflated under a strong external force before going out. Like a billiard ball, it is not deflated first. If it bulges out again, it will go away as soon as it is hit, and it will be smaller when it is hit by an external force, so that the power can be transmitted quickly.The trajectory and speed of the ball in the second half of its flight exceeded the player's judgment, not because it flew fast, but because its power and speed decayed less than the original decay.

Obviously, England's goalkeeper Green did not adapt to the World Cup ball 'celebration', still in accordance with his own habits to catch the ball, resulting in a 'tragedy'.

************
Mourinho attaches great importance to this report by Hossent, and the 'madman' believes that this special ball may determine the state of football tactics in this World Cup.

In today's training, Mourinho observed the training of the England team in particular and found that the second half of the game ball's flight was very floating, and the mid-range pass and long pass transfer of about 30 meters or more were almost impossible to catch the ball. People can't stop, because of what?The judgment of the person who catches the ball in the second half is different from the conditioned reflex, it floats.It is easier to control the ground pass within 20 meters, and the passing effect will be better.The characteristics of this ball will indeed affect the situation and the presentation of tactics. If the ball is transferred more than 30 meters, the receiver will not be able to catch it well.

The goalkeeper Green learned a lot from a fall, and he didn't dare to throw himself out easily, forcing himself to slow down.

In training, Green's performance also made Mourinho feel a little more relieved about him. The baptism of the game should be more adapted to the atmosphere of the World Cup.

************
The training only lasted half a day, and Mourinho announced a holiday, half a day today, and a day off tomorrow. . .There are still [-] days before the next game against Algeria, but enough time anyway.

In addition, the Premier League is the league with the most intensive schedule, and the players of the England team are also more tired than players in other leagues. Mourinho is also taking every opportunity to give the team a holiday, just to prevent them from being too tired.

At this time, Mourinho is quite satisfied with Li Rui's transfer to Real Madrid. La Liga matches are relatively easier than the Premier League schedule, and this season Real Madrid was eliminated in one-eighth of the Champions League. Real Madrid was also eliminated by the third-tier team in the Copa del Rey, which also made Li Rui only need to play in the league, and his physical condition is good.

In Mourinho's view, Li Rui is in very good physical condition and in good condition. He is in good condition for the World Cup!

***********
Mourinho gave the players a holiday and the players were happy.They can go shopping.Just relax.

However, the first thing to be solved is the security issue. The law and order in South Africa is really not good, and the al-Qaeda organization threatened to attack the US team and the England team before, so the security issue is very important for England players to go out.

However, before the holiday, the England team had to have a 'group activity'.

They will be in the conference room to watch another match of the same group starting at [-]:[-] noon, Algeria VS Slovenia.

This is a game that is considered by the outside world to be the most unspectacular game so far in this World Cup.Neither Slovenia nor Algeria have had any memorable records in international football.

However, before this game, the referee helped the two teams to leave the first record for this tournament. Originally, FIFA designated the referee Pozzo from Chile as the referee of the game, but due to the unfortunate fact that the Chilean was absent from the game Injured in the previous warm-up, the referee had to be temporarily replaced in the final game.Carlos Bartres, the referee from Guatemala, temporarily replaced him.

***********
The camera was given to the stands before the kick-off, and Zidane of Algerian descent came to watch the game.In this game, Qi Zu will cheer for his motherland, Algeria.

Neither team has any famous stars, and the game was relatively boring. The first half ended [-]:[-].

In the [-]th minute of the game, the only goal of the game appeared. It was Slovenia’s attack. Jokic made a low pass from the left. Collen stopped the ball and turned around, and pushed a long shot about [-] meters in front of the goal. Corner, this shot is actually not a big threat, but the Algerian goalkeeper Saushi sideways holds the ball with both hands, but the ball bounces in front of him, slips past the post and enters the net.Algeria [-]:[-] Slovenia.

This conceded goal is almost exactly the same as Green's conceded goal in England's game against the US team.

All the players including Li Rui looked at Green. Green looked at a loss and blushed and said, "This is not my goal."

Everyone laughed.

Mourinho and assistant coach Alan.Shearer exchanged a glance. It seems that special attention must be paid to the match ball used in this World Cup, "Celebrate with the World". Sometimes, when the England team can't start the situation, they try more long-range shots, and there may be surprises.

***********
After watching the live broadcast of the match between Algeria and Slovenia, the players went out for shopping one after another. If there are girlfriends and wives who come to South Africa, they should rush to make out.The World Cup is an extremely sacred and important event for the players, but for their wives, family members or girlfriends, it is a vacation.

Li Rui didn't agree to Jessica's coming to South Africa due to safety reasons, and he didn't want to go foolishly wandering around unfamiliar streets, so he planned to play live in the hotel.Also write Weibo, Sina Weibo spent [-] million RMB to invite Li Rui to join, so now, what to say on Sina Weibo every day has become Li Rui's homework.

Turning on the computer, Li Rui received an email, but it was from Jessica, who actually said that she wanted to give Li Rui a surprise. She had already taken the Emirates flight and arrived in Johannesburg at around [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

Li Rui was taken aback. Obviously, Jessica's email was released on a regular basis. By this time, she was about to arrive at the airport in Johannesburg.

He hurriedly prepared to go to the airport to pick up the plane. While complaining about Jessica's first act, he was not without joy. For this surprise of Jessica, it is impossible to say that he does not like and is moved.

***********
Li Rui wants to go out, and the security personnel in charge of the security of the England team attach great importance to it. The security of the world's number one star can be said to be the strictest among the top [-] players. Two bodyguards were sent to protect Li Rui.

Ten minutes later, Li Rui, wearing an Armani casual shirt and sunglasses, walked out of the hotel gate of the Royal Banfokeng Gardens. The reporters waiting outside immediately became excited and wanted to surround him, but they were not close to Li Rui. Beside him, he was blocked by two tough-looking black men. The murderous look of these two bodyguards shocked the veterans who were used to the storm.

Li Rui was very satisfied with the performance of the two bodyguards. The bodyguards of the Blackwater Company were indeed professional enough. He was in a hurry to go to the airport, and he ignored the annoyed expressions of the veterans.

One of the bodyguards opened the way for Li Rui at a leisurely pace, and one guarded at the back. The hotel staff had already driven the car. The bodyguard named Hans got into the driver's cab, and the other helped Li Rui open the car door. After Li Rui got into the car, he glanced at the reporters who were still determined, and then got into the passenger cab.

Li Rui nodded secretly. These two bodyguards are good. After Jessica arrived, he intentionally asked them to protect Jessica.

South Africa is a beautiful country. I have to admit that if the law and order here can be better, Li Rui really wants to build a manor here. It would be nice to come here to enjoy the sunshine, beach and manor life during the holidays.Although the law and order in the wealthy areas of South Africa is very good, the occasional gunshots still make Li Rui feel apprehensive.He has to think about his family's safety.

***********
The two bodyguards stood far away, and at the same time did not forget to keep an eye on the surrounding situation. Li Rui walked towards Jessica who was pulling the suitcase.

"Honey, welcome to the beautiful country, South Africa." Li Rui gave Jessica a hug.Then he kissed his son Jack hard.

"I thought you'd complain about my sneaking up," Jessica said.

"I want to complain, but you're here, what can I do?" Li Rui smiled wryly. After getting married, Jessica seldom plays petty temper like this.

"If I don't come, after the World Cup, in less than half a month, the club's training camp will start again, and the vacation is over...Jack also needs his father to accompany him."

Li Rui looked at Jessica and Little Jack, he let out a guilty sigh, and was speechless, because he was busy with the game, Li Rui was rarely able to spend time with his family, and Li Rui suddenly felt that he owed his family a lot.

"Father, aren't you happy that Jack is here?" Seeing Li Rui sighing, Little Jack asked suspiciously.

"Happy, of course Dad is happy." Li Rui picked up his son and said with a laugh, then he turned his head and said to Jessica, "I feel that staying with you and your child is not as good as winning so many trophies and medals." Happy together, maybe I should hang up my boots a few years earlier."

Jessica said softly, "Jack is waiting to see you stand on top of the world. He always says his father is the best."

Li Rui's heart warmed, he was moved by Jessica's thoughtfulness.
