Chapter 882 England Without Li Rui
It can be seen that Bloemfontein and the World Cup Organizing Committee attached great importance to the security of this game, but there were still some minor conflicts before the game.

Several England fans rushed to the cameras of the German national television station 2001, and showed the banner 'Die to the Germans! ', and made a 9:[-] gesture. In September [-], England beat Germany [-]-[-] in the World Cup qualifiers in Japan and South Korea, and it was still at the home court of the German team. Michael Owen, who completed a hat-trick in that game, also became the European Footballer of the Year .Although this game was not the heaviest in the Anglo-German war, it was the coolest for England to win.

The provocation of the England fans aroused the anger of the surrounding German fans. They raised their middle fingers to the England fans and shouted in unison: "British! Watch out for your assholes! Germany will win!"

And those few provocative England fans were brought down by the German fans who were good at speaking with practical actions.

The police hurried over and took away the provocative England fans. If it was later, these guys would probably have to leave the German brawny round.violent.

Not far away, the England fans saw that their teammates had suffered a loss, and immediately rushed towards this side, and the police were immediately on the verge of a formidable enemy.

They have to be more careful. At this time, just a little spark is enough to trigger a big conflict between the fans of both sides.Fortunately, both sides are restrained for the time being, they just shouted verbally, it seems that they intend to leave their strength in the stands to vent.

***********
"England! England! God bless the Queen, the Queen bless England!" England fans raised the "St. George" flag with a red cross on a white background and waved it to the red bus.

"Onward, St. George! Onward. England!!"

"Fight! Blood and will! We are the invincible English fleet!"

Li Rui is sitting in the window seat, he likes the window seat, at this moment, Li Rui is not wearing earphones, he wants to listen to the shouts outside the car window, feel the frenzy, this madness, feel the excitement of the fans Emotions, this kind of emotion really infected him, although Li Rui might not be able to appreciate the atmosphere of grievances between the English players and Germany, but this did not prevent him from being excited at the moment, he clenched his fists.I felt my body trembling slightly.Of course it wasn't fear, it was excitement.

However, thinking that he would not be able to start this game, and he didn't even know if he would be able to play, Li Rui was like a big balloon full of air, and it flattened with a bang.

Seeing Li Rui's expression, Rooney smiled, "Don't worry, watch me score. After [-]:[-], I will ask the boss to replace me and replace you in the game."

Li Rui rolled his eyes, ignored the little fat man, [-]:[-] Germany?How can it be so easy!It's a shame that the fat boy can figure it out.

Sponsored by the telecommunications giant Vodacom, Free State Stadium is also called Vodacom Park Stadium. It has a history of more than 60 years and is also one of the oldest stadiums in South Africa. It once hosted the quarter-finals of the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations. , as well as the Rugby World Cup in 1 and the FIFA Confederations Cup in 4.In order to meet the 1995 World Cup, it was upgraded in 2009. At the end of 2010, the Free State Stadium was put into use again.After the refurbishment, a new floor was added to the grandstand on the west side of the stadium, and a revolving door, electronic scoreboard, floodlights, closed-circuit television and media equipment were upgraded, and the sound system was also modified according to standards.The capacity of the stadium has also increased from 2007 to 08.

At this moment, the stadium has already started to let fans into the stadium. For safety reasons, German and English fans came in from opposite entrances.

At this time, on the big screen, the players from both sides arrived at the stadium parking lot.

Li Rui followed Beckham off the bus in England, and he was immediately surrounded by countless microphones.

"Li, may I ask, will you play in today's game?"

"Lee, can you say something?"

Li Rui looked at the microphones around him, made a V-shaped gesture towards the camera lens, then blew a kiss to the camera lens, and walked towards the player locker room with a smile.

"Oh oh oh oh - we must win! Li Rui bless England!!" Li Rui's simple gesture immediately detonated everything. The England fans in the stands and the England fans under the big screen in the square outside the stadium were far away in England. The England fans on the peninsula burst into loud cheers!
Shocking!

***********
For Mourinho's England team, music is usually played in the dressing room before the game. The music to be played is usually chosen by Mourinho himself. Of course, some players think the music is very good and can also recommend it.

Today's music was chosen by Li Rui himself. He couldn't start the game today, so he cheered for the team in this way.

Li Rui chose "Day of your beliefs" from amorphis band. Amorphis is a famous death metal band from Finland. This song is selected from their 2003 album "Far from the sun". " is Li Rui's favorite song. The first time he heard this song was when he was in China, because this song is often used as the ending song of "World Soccer".This song has a strong rhythm and is full of passion, but it does not lack a sense of melody. It is a metal masterpiece that directly expresses the heart.Li Rui likes this song very much, it makes people's blood boil when they hear it.

The battle between Britain and Germany was no less than a majestic battle. With this very rhythmic music, people's hearts beat faster.

"Nice song." Mourinho came in and motioned everyone to sit in their seats.

Li Rui went over to turn down the volume, sat in his seat, and everyone sat down, the battle was about to start, and everyone knew that the boss had something to say.

***********
"Our game against Germany is a game that does not require me to mobilize. So I will make a long story short." Mourinho coughed and cleared his throat. "In this game, I want to emphasize again that we must strengthen the fight in the midfield. To what extent, let me make an analogy. After the Germans get the ball in the midfield, they dare not take the ball and can't wait to get it. Pass the ball and scare them."

All the players nodded, indicating that they understood.

There is nothing Mourinho can do about it. Although this tactic may be able to contain Germany's attack, England's own attack will also be affected. If Li Rui can start, Mourinho will naturally not have to do so. However, Now, that's all he can do.

"Be careful of Ozil." Mourinho looked at Barry, "Gareth, I'll leave that kid to you, don't make it easy for him!"

"No problem, Boss!" Gareth Barry nodded confidently. Now that the media has blown up this brat, he doesn't think that brat will be so good. Kiel had a good taste of his strength.

"Okay, guys, this game, there is only one requirement, win Germany! Step on their corpses to enter the quarterfinals. Guys. I'm done. It's up to you!"

***********
"The midfield composition of the German team has changed a lot from the past. Since the retirement of the technical midfielders such as Hassler and Sauer, the German team has been lacking in excellent midfield organizers. Ballack is the team's The leader is a strong player with both offense and defense, but he is not an organizational midfielder. Therefore, when Ozil started to gain a foothold in the German team during the World Cup qualifiers, Ballack, who missed the World Cup due to injury, will He said happily: "Ozil is the commander we have been lacking for a long time." After the performances in the first three games of the World Cup, people have seen the importance of the 22-year-old Ozil to the German team. Teammates kept sending wonderful passes, and they often came to the side to support, tearing apart the opponent's defense with dexterous movements. In this game, who Mourinho will arrange to defend Ozil and how effective the defense is, attracts attention."

The game is about to start, and Duan Xuan is analyzing the game.

"Now, fans are most concerned about whether Li Rui is really injured? Can he start the game? We haven't got England's starting list yet, but judging from the feedback from the English media, Li Rui The possibility of Rui Rui playing is very low, he did have a foot injury. I met a reporter from the BBC, and he seemed very worried, worried that without Li Rui, what would England use to attack?!"

At this time, Liu Jianhong suddenly raised his voice and said.

"Aha, we just got the rosters of both teams. The two head coaches are very cautious. They didn't announce their lineup until the last moment. Let's take a look now... Everyone is very concerned about Li Rui... I hope he can start... But judging from the list of places we got... Li Rui did not enter the starting list... This will disappoint many fans... However, we see that Li Rui is still Will appear on the bench. I believe that Mourinho is also in case he needs it from time to time. Li Rui’s injury must exist. Mourinho does not want to take risks. However, once the situation is passive, he may still send Li Rui. Sharp played."

*************
While Duan Xuan and Liu Jianhong were introducing their rosters, players from the two teams were lining up in the aisle of the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, waiting to enter.

However, the focus of the camera at this moment is not the players from both sides who are about to play, all the shots are given to Li Rui who is already sitting on the bench at the moment, the camera is aimed at Li Rui's face, trying to capture the expression on his face— — Li Rui was smiling and chatting with Alan Lennon and Milner beside him. He looked in a good mood, which also reassured many England fans. It seems that Li Rui's injury is not serious.

In the player tunnel, the referee Larionda from Uruguay looked at the time, nodded to the assistant referee, turned to the two captains and said, "It's time to play!"

"Guys, it's time for us to play!" Beckham, wearing the captain's armband, turned his head and shouted to his teammates behind him.

at the same time.German team captain Lahm also shouted loudly, "Let's go!"

***********
Amid the deafening shouts, players from England and Germany filed out onto the battlefield.

"They're coming out!" Everyone shouted in the stands, in the TV broadcast seats, and in front of the TV.

England wore their away red jersey, while Germany traditionally wore a white top and black shorts.The camera finally moved away from Li Rui's body and focused on the players of the two teams, their heads held high.Step onto the pitch.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the atmosphere at the scene as frenzied. Both the English and the Germans are cheering up the team in the way they are good at. They shouted the names of the players one by one.Every name is called out, which will cause huge cheers.

***********
The enmity between England and Germany was undoubtedly revealed when the national anthem was played. Whether it was England or Germany, sporadic boos could be heard when the national anthem was played.There has been a long-standing grievance in football between the two countries. Even occasions that should show respect to their opponents inevitably become a stage for mutual provocation.

Exchange team flags, guess coins, choose sides, and both sides line up.

At [-]:[-] local time in South Africa, the referee Larionda from Uruguay blew the kick-off whistle of the game. The high-profile [-] South Africa World Cup [-]/[-] match officially started.

When Rooney was kicking off, the camera cut to Li Rui on the sidelines, as if to remind everyone that it was a pity that there was someone missing in this game where sparks hit the earth. . .

************
Germany got the first chance in the [-]th minute. Schweinsteiger picked a pass. After getting rid of Barry, Ozil broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle on the right side. James bravely blocked the baseline with his legs.

"Thank you James, he saved England and my heart. Gareth Barry has a hole in his defense this time!" Lineker said with lingering fear. It would be too great if the German took the lead at the beginning shit.

Subsequently, the performance of the game was relatively dull, which was related to the playing style of the two teams. Mourinho's tactic was strangling in the midfield, which made it impossible for the German team to organize an effective attack.

England said that Mourinho's tactics were still effective. The game lasted more than ten minutes. Except for Germany's chance in the [-]th minute, neither side had a good chance.

"England sacrificed offense to strengthen defense. Gareth Barry seemed passive. He couldn't keep up with Ozil's rhythm..."

************
In the [-]th minute of the game, the German team seized a chance that was not a chance.

The goal kick of the German team, their goalkeeper Neuer kicked the goal kick with a big foot. The big foot was so powerful that the ball flew into the penalty area of ​​England. At this time, an attack in England had just ended, and the defense was a bit careless. Crowe Ze and Upson ran towards the ball at the same time. Klose squeezed Upson away, padded the ball with his chest, and then faced the attacking England goalkeeper James, volleyed!

James dives for the ball.

Terry, who returned to defense, took a dive and wanted to push the ball out of the goal. . .

No one touched the ball, including James, who dived for the ball, and the ball hit the net straight.

***********
"What a beautiful goal! What a beautiful counterattack!! From Klose!!! Great!! The 1th minute! We lead 0:[-]!"

"This, too bad...England conceded the ball...their goalkeeper opened the goal and assisted, and our defense made a mistake! [-]:[-]! Too bad!!"

The commentators from the two countries reacted in opposite directions.The same goes for the fans of the two countries in the stands.The phalanx of German fans stood up from their seats and cheered with arms raised.The England fans put their heads in their hands and couldn't believe their eyes.

Before the game, England fans who were still confident, at this moment, a question gradually enlarged in the minds of many England fans, and the question mark was also enlarged:
"England without Li Rui, is it really impossible?"
