Chapter 902 Sworn to destroy the Netherlands!

At the Capital Airport, after a lapse of one day, there were again a large number of reporters waiting here.Back in his hometown, Li Rui, who saw his deceased teacher for the last time, had to go back to BJ overnight, transfer to Dubai and fly to South Africa.

Li Rui appeared at the Capital Airport, surrounded by countless guns and short cannons, he seemed more silent than before, other than that, there was nothing unusual.

After refusing all media interviews, Li Rui boarded the flight.

The plane took off, looking at the gradually shrinking land, he closed his eyes, feeling exhausted.

The teacher walked very peacefully, with a smile on her face. I heard from my teacher's wife that the teacher watched England's [-]:[-] victory over Argentina. He was very happy to see Li Rui scoring the goal that surpassed seven players in a row. He also drank more Ordered two bottles of beer.He lay down on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep. His wife was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she covered him with a blanket.Just walked away in sleep.

In the study room, there is also a letter written by Qiu Zuolin to Li Rui. The letter has not been finished yet. Qiu Zuolin originally planned to get up the next morning to continue writing the letter, but it is impossible to finish it.

Li Rui opened the letter. He had read it several times, and every time he read it, he felt uncomfortable.

"Xiao Rui, it's been four years since I called you that. The teacher still can't let go of you playing football for England. Forgive the teacher's stubbornness. Our generation has dedicated all our lives to Chinese football, just to see Chinese football. There is also a day to take off, unfortunately, I guess I will never see it in this life... You are my student, much better than me, the World Cup game, the teacher fell down, I am very happy to see you score, anyway, It is a good thing that the descendants of Yan and Huang have the opportunity to lift the Hercules Cup, the teacher would like to thank you..."

There is nothing left behind, and the writing is not finished. The teacher's mother Lin Han said that Qiu Zuolin wrote the letter there before the game between England and Argentina. After the game started, he put down his pen and came to watch the game.

************
On July [-], Li Rui arrived at Cape Town Airport.

Nearly [-] reporters had already been waiting to interview him at Cape Town Airport. The lineup of reporters was almost comparable to the opening ceremony of this World Cup.You know, this is just an interview with Li Rui alone.

When he walked out of the entry gate, Li Rui was surrounded by reporters with long guns and short cannons. England assistant coach Alan.Shearer met him at the airport in person.

Looking at the swarming reporters, although Li Rui was tired from the journey and still sad, after consulting with Alan.After Shearer's opinion, a small press conference was held on the open-air square outside Cape Town Airport.He knows that if they don't accept interviews, these reporters will not 'let it go', and some arguments and discussions will continue to be noisy, so they can be resolved altogether. Of course, although reporters are free to ask questions, he has the right to refuse to answer some questions .

Some reporters criticized Li Rui for returning to China just because of the death of his teacher when the semi-final between England and the Netherlands was about to start, and criticized Li Rui for having no sense of national honor for England, no sense of responsibility for the team, and not worthy of it. Captain's armband.

"I love this team. We will work hard together for the championship! In the game against the Netherlands, you will see a Li Rui who works as hard as ever." Li Rui replied.He doesn't want to get entangled in this issue. He really doesn't have any sense of belonging to the UK, but this doesn't mean that Li Rui has no sense of responsibility. He desires the championship more than anyone else, and he desires to lead the team to compete for the honor of being the top of the world.It is useless to say more now, as long as I can lead England to move forward, all criticism will naturally disappear.

************
"Can you tell me what kind of person your teacher is?" asked a reporter from the French newspaper L'Equipe.

"An ordinary high school football coach, a strict teacher, and an ordinary person who has dedicated his whole life to football." Li Rui said, when he said this, he was full of pride, proud of his teacher, just because the teacher was Pure football people.

"Do you have anything to say about what Sneijder said?" The reporter of "The Guardian" raised his hand and asked.

Li Rui was taken aback, he was busy on his way, and really didn't know what Sneijder said. The "Guardian" reporter saw that Li Rui seemed a little confused, so he squeezed forward desperately, and handed Li Rui a copy of yesterday's newspaper.

This is what Sneijder said in an interview with the Dutch "Clarion". It is a pity that Li Rui's teacher passed away, but for the Dutch team, it is undoubtedly a good thing and worth celebrating.Li Rui, who was running back and forth, posed little threat to the Dutch team.And Sneijder didn't understand that Li Rui traveled thousands of miles to return to China just because of the death of his first teacher.

Li Rui felt angry. What Sneijder said was not wrong. Everyone has the right to speak. However, Sneijder shouldn't have said "for the Dutch team" when Li Rui lost his family. . .It's worth celebrating." In this case, Li Rui, who was still very sad in his heart, seemed to have a fire burning in his chest.

"I will use the Hercules Cup as a gift to the teacher's spirit in heaven." This is Li Rui's answer!
The English reporters applauded loudly. They were worried that Li Rui's travel fatigue would affect the game, but seeing Li Rui's dignified expression and murderous look, they were much less worried, especially those reporters who were familiar with Li Rui. , and know a truth, any actions that anger Li Rui will be punished.Although Sneijder didn't want to anger Li Rui, there is no doubt that the Dutchman really angered Li Rui!They hurt Li Rui's Ni Lin!

The Dutch reporters were very angry. They believed that Li Rui lacked basic respect for the Dutch team, and angrily fired at Li Rui and criticized him in their media.

************
In fact, after Sneijder said these words, England national team coach Mourinho has already started the war. Mourinho criticized Sneijder for being too cold-blooded.

"For this gentleman who has cultivated a super player like Li Rui, I myself and the England national team pay the highest respect and deep sorrow. Regarding what Sneijder said, I doubt whether he has passed through it when he said it. The brain... It is basic courtesy to maintain a minimum of respect for the dead."

When Li Rui returned to South Africa from China, Li Rui called Mourinho and expressed his request. He asked the England team to apply to FIFA for the semi-final against the Netherlands. Wrapped in black yarn, mourned for Qiu Zuolin before the game.

The teacher has been unknown all his life, and Li Rui expressed his respect in this way, which is the only thing he can do.

Mourinho agreed without any hesitation to the request of the proud disciple. As Mourinho said, he really paid tribute to this ordinary coach who trained Li Rui.Anyone who can discover Li Rui is the greatest contribution to world football.

Mourinho has been running around about Qiu Zuolin's affairs. It is not an easy task to persuade the two teams to observe a moment of silence for an unknown football coach, and it is in such a major match as the World Cup semi-finals.

Of course, the England team has no problem. Mourinho agreed to observe a moment of silence and wrap his arms in black yarn.

The problem lies with the Dutch team, perhaps because Mourinho's criticism of Sneijder aroused the Dutch team's disgust. The Dutch team rejected the request for Qiu Zuolin's arm to be wrapped in black yarn and a moment of silence before the game. . .

Now, Mourinho is still continuing to fight for this matter.

*************
At this time, in China, the major media also began to widely report Qiu Zuolin's deeds. In fact, Qiu Zuolin still has a certain reputation in China. After all, anyone who can cultivate a star like Li Rui will attract the attention of the media, but However, Qiu Zuolin refused to be interviewed by the media during his lifetime, so there are not many fans who really know this football coach.

When Li Rui returned to England's base, he received a call from Haishen. It was said that Xinhua News Agency would publish an editorial about Qiu Zuolin's deeds.

Li Rui smiled wryly, he didn't know if it was possible, he didn't know if the teacher would like such things if he was alive.

After returning to the station, Li Rui reported to Mourinho, met and chatted with Beckham for a while, and then went back to his room to rest.He also did not watch the semi-final between Spain and Uruguay that afternoon. Of course, this was specially approved by Mourinho.

The next day, when the England team was training, the media and fans did not see Li Rui, which immediately caused a storm of speculation, and news began to circulate that Li Rui might not be able to play in the match against the Netherlands.

Almost at the same time, BWIN adjusted the odds of the England team again, which seems to confirm this guess from the side.

Where did Li Rui go?
He is undergoing a full medical examination.

Of course, Mourinho wanted Li Rui to play in the game against the Netherlands, and it would be better to start the game.

After a comprehensive examination of Li Rui by the England team's chief team doctor Garin, he told Mourinho in surprise: It's unbelievable, Li Rui's physical condition is very good, and there is no problem in starting the game.

Mourinho was overjoyed, he had never thought this white-bearded guy so cute.

For Mourinho, for the England team, as long as Li Rui can start the game, this is the best news!

************
Durban, Durban Stadium, here is the second semi-final of the World Cup in South Africa, the battlefield of the England VS Netherlands match, heavy battle clouds are sweeping from all directions, gathered here.

Regarding this game, the tension before the game has already permeated.

Sneijder, the core midfielder of the Dutch team, made a "slip of the tongue" and said that Li Rui's teacher's death had an impact on Li Rui.

And Li Rui sought to wrap black gauze around the arm of his deceased teacher Qiu Zuolin and observe a minute of silence before the game between England and the Netherlands. This matter was not agreed by the Dutch team. It is said that FIFA has also agreed to this matter, but, The Dutch team expressed a different opinion.Although in the end, the Dutch team reluctantly accepted FIFA's suggestion and agreed to wrap black yarn on the forearm and observe a minute of silence during the game, but the twists and turns in this matter also further deepened the conflict between Li Rui and the Dutch team.

In this matter, the Dutch team's approach has been widely criticized. Li Rui has a large number of supporters in England. Now that Li Rui has fired at the Dutch team, the voices of the Dutch team and Sneijder are being condemned in the UK. After a wave, there was even news that Manchester United originally planned to introduce Sneijder, which was also resisted by radical Manchester United fans. Although Li Rui had left Manchester United, at Old Trafford, Li Rui's The influence is still enormous.In addition to Ferguson, it is Li Rui. Even the current Manchester United banner Cristiano Ronaldo cannot compare with Li Rui's influence.

************
On July [-], [-], at [-] o'clock in the evening, the coach of the England team departed from the hotel where we stayed.

England fans who didn't get tickets gathered outside the hotel to see off their team.This game is very important to them. Although they have to play two games in the semi-finals regardless of whether they win or lose, no one wants to play in the third or fourth finals, right?There is only one step away from success, and it would be too tragic to fall before the finish line.As long as England wins this game, they will reach the finals of this World Cup and strive for the glory of the top of the world on the greatest stage!
Seeing the England bus coming out slowly, the England fans waiting on both sides of the road became excited. The flashing lights reflected the figures of the players waving to the fans on the window, and the fans screamed victoriously, waving to represent England. St George's cross banner.

"Long live England!"

"God save the queen!"

England fans chanted in unison.

In response, players in the car got up and waved to the fans.Beckham opened the window of his car and waved a St George's flag at the fans, prompting a wild cheer from the England supporters.

************
Li Rui, who always pays tribute to the fans at this time, is very quiet at the moment. He closes his eyes, but there is only the teacher's voice and smile. When he opens his eyes, the black gauze on his arm is so dazzling, Li Rui buried his face, He felt his nose sour.

Teacher, I will personally raise the Hercules Cup high.

England's bus slowly headed for the Durban Stadium.Along the way, fans of England or the Netherlands can be seen heading towards the stadium. There is no grudge between England and the Netherlands. However, the relationship between the two teams is not good at the moment.Not to mention, this game is a semi-final, and the two teams are fighting to the death!

Durban is the second largest city in South Africa and the busiest port in Africa. Due to its warm subtropical climate and coastal scenery, Durban has become a famous tourist destination.Like the ranking of the city, the Durban Stadium is also the second largest stadium in South Africa in the 2010 World Cup. Its design capacity has reached 1986 people, second only to the Soccer City Stadium.The Durban Stadium is also known as the Moses Mabhida Stadium (Moses Mabhida Stadium), named in honor of the former South African Communist Party leader Mabihada.The leader who made great contributions to South Africa's independence and liberation movement died in March 3.The exterior design of the stadium is quite creative. There is a viaduct running through the east and west directions above the stadium, with a height of about 30 floors and 100 meters in the longitudinal direction.When the lanterns first come on, it looks like a rainbow volleying in the sky, very beautiful.

************
After the warm-up, the England players returned to the dressing room and closed the door of the dressing room. The singing outside was still a bit deafening. It cannot be said that the sound insulation effect of the Durban Stadium is not good. It can only be said that for this semi-final, the fans of the two countries are very happy. So hot, so hot.

Li Rui closed his eyes, leaned against the wall, and rested his mind. He could hear the sound of the stadium, singing, boos, applause, and even the sound of stomping feet. The stadium was shaking slightly.

The locker room was very quiet. Not only Li Rui was closing his eyes to rest his mind, but everyone else was also relatively silent. It was the semi-finals, and it was a fork in the game to lose or win. The four finalists will go to the football city for the final final.

The players' jerseys have been hung in their respective lockers, and the cleaned sneakers and shin pads are neatly placed on the seats.

These are like knights' war horses, ready to go to the battlefield at any time!
Regarding the tactics of this game, Mourinho has already talked about it several times, and there is no need to say anything more at this moment.

*************
Mourinho looked at his watch before he clapped his palms, making everyone look up at him, "Boys, I don't need to say more about the importance of this game."

He waved his arm, "This is the semifinals, let's see who our opponents are along the way." He slowly said the names of those opponents: "US team, Albania, Slovakia, Germany team, Argentina..."

"Listen to the names of these teams. In addition to the teams in the group stage, our two knockout matches, whether it is Germany or Argentina, they are all strong teams. Although we don't want to say it, we still have to admit, Whether it is Germany or Argentina, they have won at least two World Cup titles, and they are more 'rich' than England."

The players looked at Mourinho in confusion, they didn't know what Mourinho meant by saying this at this time.Mourinho smiled, "That's right, they are giants, but no matter how powerful they are and how strong they are, let's see, they all end up the same when they meet us - failure! We defeated them and stepped on their corpses Up to now, boys, think about Germany and Argentina that were killed by you, the kind of pleasure is top-notch!! Now, what is in front of us is the Netherlands, what should you do?!"

"Kill them!" Everyone yelled together.

Mourinho pointed at the door and waved his hand, "The Dutch are waiting for us to beat them. What are you waiting for? Come on! Boys!"

The players rushed out of the locker room one after another. Mourinho called Li Rui. The madman was still a little uneasy about Li Rui's physical fitness and state. "Li, how do you feel?"

"I have never been more eager to compete and win than now!" Li Rui said with a firm face.

"Then, go." Mourinho patted Li Rui on the shoulder, "Let the Dutch have a taste of your power!"

Li Rui looked down at the black gauze on his arm, took a step, and ran towards the entrance of the players' tunnel. . .
