Chapter 912 The footsteps of the final!
Li Rui ran to the field.Instead of hugging anyone else, he and Beckham both opened their arms, laughed, and gave each other big hugs.

"David! It's the final! It's great!"

"You did well, Li! Haha, [-] goals!" Beckham patted Li Rui on the shoulder and said happily.

After embracing Beckham, the England team leader approached Li Rui and informed him that he would accompany Mourinho to the post-match press conference and accept media interviews. In fact, at the end of the game, the media reporters They wanted to gather around to interview Li Rui, but they were temporarily dissuaded. The reporters were told that Li Rui would attend the post-match press conference.

Li Rui nodded to show that he knew. He was about to go to the sidelines to greet the fans, but he felt someone touch his arm. He looked back and found that it was Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart took off his jersey and handed it to Li Rui, "Swap the jersey? Li."

Li Rui was taken aback for a moment, then without a word, he took off his jersey and handed it over. Looking at Van der Vaart's frustrated expression, he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, "Rafael..."

Van der Vaart also handed his jersey to Li Rui, "Don't comfort me, hehe, you guys are playing the finals, and I'm going on vacation too, I hope you can bring this good state to the team...hehe , To be able to beat our team, we must win the championship.”

Li Rui shook his head: "Raphael, you still have a final for the third and fourth place..." As soon as he said this, Li Rui knew that he shouldn't say it.

Sure enough, Van der Vaart smiled wryly. Of course, he also knew that Li Rui didn't mean to humiliate him.

"Yes, there are still three or four finalists." Van der Vaart waved to Li Ruihui and walked to the players' tunnel.

***********
At the press conference after the game, Li Rui said that he dedicated his two goals to his teacher Qiu Zuolin.

The reporters also launched a siege against Li Rui. In the first World Cup that Li Rui participated in, he led the team to the final, and his personal goals reached [-] goals, tying the [-]-year-old team. A record set by Fontaine at the [-] World Cup.

The reporters in England also asked Li Rui aimlessly what he thought of the Dutch team's aggressive style of play. This style of play made the England team very passive today.Of course, the purpose of the English reporters is not so simple. What they want to express is that the Dutch are so powerful in attack, but they were still eliminated by England, which shows how powerful England is.

Li Rui had a war of words with the Dutch team before the game, but now that the game has been accepted, the Dutch are tasting the bitter taste of being eliminated. Li Rui did not give in. He said: "This is indeed a very Difficult game, the Dutch showed their toughness, but this did not make us afraid, of course we know that in the game, what we have to do is to beat the opponent, our players are very mature, they did a good job, I think we dominated the game today. That's the biggest reason we beat our opponents and made it to the final."

************
Mourinho led England to the [-] World Cup final after leading them to the European Championship in [-].

Unexpectedly, at this time, Mourinho actually mentioned a name that the English people are unwilling to mention. After Mourinho thanked the players for their efforts, he also thanked his predecessor McLaren. Thanking him for his legacy, Mourinho said, "I would also like to thank McLaren for his work. We respect what has been left before. McLaren recruited Li Rui into the England team. This matter is very important. England will never have to. Worried about scoring goals."

***********
The England team's promotion to the final did not give the players more opportunities to relax. Mourinho just announced that he would have a half-day holiday the next morning after the game.And at noon on this day, the entire England team will welcome the Queen of England at the resident. The most distinguished old woman in England watched England's [-]:[-] elimination of the Dutch team from the stands. The blog said, "Thanks to the heroic England team. They eliminated the Dutch team [-]:[-]. They entered the final of this World Cup. Her Majesty is proud of them in the stands. At this moment, she is one of many excited fans. Queen He also made an exception and drank a can of beer after the game to celebrate this great victory."

"At noon, the England team will welcome their Majesty the Queen, but now, it's time to relax." This is a live report from Sky TV outside the England team's residence.

The relaxed smiling faces of England players appeared in the camera, which also gave great confidence to the reporters and England fans in front of the TV.

***********
The English media is usually the most famous place in the world, but now, after a lapse of [-] years, the England team made a historic move to reach the World Cup final again, which greatly stimulated the already crazy English media. So many media arrived in South Africa, and now, with the England team advancing to the final, the number has grown exponentially. The local South African "Republic" even exaggerated, "The entire British journalists have come to South Africa, They waited for that grand moment to come! '

Reporters flocked to South Africa, and the England fans who had no plan to come to South Africa to watch the football also packed their bags at this time and traveled long distances to South Africa and Cape Town.

According to statistics from the World Cup Organizing Committee, on the second day after the match between England and the Netherlands, more than [-] England fans came to South Africa, and this number will increase as the final day approaches. Continue to grow. It is conservatively estimated that on the day of the final, the number of England fans in Johannesburg will reach [-]. That means that at least there will be nearly [-] England fans without tickets, and they will be scattered outside the square of the Soccer City Stadium and in bars in the streets and alleys of Johannesburg.

The reputation of England fans is really not good, which makes the South African police feel like an enemy, because, according to statistics, there are nearly [-] Spanish fans who came to Johannesburg. Together, God only knows what will happen.

***********
At this moment, a large number of reporters are surrounding the England station.They learned that the England team will be on holiday this morning, so they are waiting here for the England players to come out of it, and then see if they can find their goals.And there is no doubt that the biggest targets they want to interview are Beckham and Li Rui. If they have to choose one of the captains and vice captains of the England team, the media will choose Li Rui. There is no doubt that he is now the biggest player. Card!

Wayne Rooney and Lampard came out, Gareth Barry and Terry also came out, and finally Beckham came out, which caused a sensation. After surrounding Beckham and interviewing the captain of the England team, media reporters Still waiting there, did not leave, they were waiting to interview Li Rui.

However, until half an hour passed and more other players came out, people still did not see Li Rui.

Even so, the media reporters are still waiting, hoping to wait for the shadow of Li Rui to appear. Before the World Cup final, they can interview England's top scorer, the greatest star of this World Cup, and just tied Fontaine's record of 13 goals. Li Rui, this is undoubtedly the biggest wish of all reporters at the moment.Not to mention waiting for half an hour, if you can interview Li Rui, what's the point of waiting seven or eight hours?
However, after waiting until almost [-]:[-] in the morning, they still did not see Li Rui's figure. These reporters began to doubt. Could it be that Li Rui will not come out today?Or did he come out early?disguise?What the hell!
***********
When the reporters were waiting outside the hotel, Li Rui was sleeping soundly in the room.

After the game last night, he met his wife Jessica, just to meet, sitting on the sofa, embracing each other, very quiet, nothing sweet happened, the grief caused by the death of the teacher is still there Affecting Li Rui's mood, he found that only when he was with Jessica and looked at his wife and children could he relax his mood.

Originally, father Li Haisheng and mother Zhang Huifen had already booked tickets to watch the final in Johannesburg. However, because of the death of Li Rui's enlightenment coach Qiu Zuolin, the old couple canceled their trip to South Africa to watch the World Cup final and chose to stay at home. While taking care of his teacher's mother, Lin Han, and the heartbroken Qiu Ranran.

Li Rui also understands the decision to support the two elders. He also wants to thank his parents. Qiu Zuolin treated him like a son. Now that the teacher is gone, the family needs someone to take care of him. With his parents and his mother, he feels relieved.

This morning when the team was on vacation, Li Rui told Jessica immediately that he would sleep well today to replenish his energy, and even though he wanted to go out and go shopping with Li Rui, Jessica also knew It was really hard for Li Rui to run back and forth, and he expressed enough understanding.

***********
Li Rui slept until noon before getting up to take a shower. This was specially approved by Mourinho.

At this time, the others had gradually returned, and there was no way they could not come back. At [-]:[-] noon, Queen Elizabeth II would come to the hotel where the England team was staying to visit the players of the team.

The entire meeting lasted about half an hour. The most powerful old woman in Britain also had lunch with England players, encouraging the team to defeat Spain in the final and win the second World Cup trophy for England in history. It is also the first Hercules Cup outside the mainland.

Queen Elizabeth II also especially encouraged Li Rui, and joked that as long as Li Rui scored another goal, breaking Fontaine's [-]-goal World Cup scoring record, she would take the initiative to honor Li Rui.

The arrival of Queen Elizabeth II is just an episode in England's preparation for the final.The preparations for the England team did not relax because of the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen. On the same night, Mourinho arranged a night training.

During the training, Li Rui was still a little silent. It seemed that only after the whistle sounded at the start of the game would Li Rui be aroused into a crazy mood. However, Li Rui still showed a good state during the training, which made Mu Rinho and the rest of the coaching staff and the rest of the England players are very happy.

Now, the England team has established extremely strong confidence, or confidence in Li Rui. As long as Li Rui is on the court, as long as Li Rui is in good condition, then the England team will be invincible!

***********
Because the final of the World Cup is held at [-]:[-] in the evening, Mourinho has arranged England's training time to be held at dusk and evening these two days, just to keep the team's state at the same time as the game. Stay on top.

Moreover, in order to keep secrets, the two days of training were all closed training, which of course made the reporters who were waiting outside very dissatisfied. They were anxious to dig out some news.The England team is closed training, are they going to take pictures of the closed gate?

However, although the English reporters were very unhappy with the closed training in England, at this time, no one dared to speak ill of the England team or Mourinho. Now, in the UK, the England team that reached the final is the real national hero!No slander is tolerated.

Some reporters held their breath, and there were even some malicious speculations. Once England fell into the sand in the final, they certainly would not give up the opportunity to beat the dog in the water. At that time, the old and new scores will be settled together. The relationship between the England team and the media has always been tense.Of course, with 'Mad Men' around, there's no lack of focus and tension.

***********
Mourinho's training arrangements are very detailed. First of all, what is needed now is to restore the players' physical strength and keep them healthy as much as possible, and then there are tactical drills, set-piece tactics, defensive tactics, offensive tactics, and then Carefully divide the situations that may arise in various situations, including some unexpected situations, someone was sent off. . .Not conducive to England's penalty ah. . .Conceded a goal at the start. . .In these situations, Mourinho has arranged and targeted drills.

For example, in training, Mourinho will try to train with one less player in the main lineup. This is to simulate a situation where a player is sent off. It can be the midfielder Lampard, or even Li Rui on the striker.For example, in the confrontation match, Terry was originally sent off, but Mourinho would suddenly interrupt the game, put Terry on, and then let Gerrard off, still playing with one less player. This is what the England team is used to. in various emergencies.

For another example, when England counterattacked, the team pressed all the way, but the team's pass was suddenly intercepted in the midfield, and the opponent counterattacked. At this time, the England team's defense line was empty, and the defense players How to keep calm and make the most appropriate defense in this situation!

Another example, after falling into a positional battle, how do the frontcourt players intersperse and move to tear apart the opponent's defense.Li Rui on the front line, how to move, whether to retreat to respond, or take the initiative to organize the attack, or how to move in the frontcourt, these are the focus of Mourinho's attention. The notebook in the hands of the 'madman' is full of possible situations that may arise in the game at that time, and the England team must do targeted training to avoid mistakes.

It can be said that the entire England team is now focused on the upcoming World Cup final against Spain. Although in training, out of taboo, few people will take the initiative to mention the final and win the championship. , However, that kind of determination and momentum to win the championship is so strong!Inspire everyone to work hard!Go to fight!
***********
On July [-], at dusk, the England team had just finished training.

When a group of people came down from the training ground, took a shower in the hotel room, changed their clothes and came out to eat, it was already completely dark.At this time, it was around 05:30 in the afternoon. When I was in Europe, it was the evening when the sun was setting and it was infinitely beautiful. However, it was already night in South Africa, even though I have been in South Africa for nearly a month. Yes, but the players still find it a little weird. After all, it is midsummer in Eurasia, but in South Africa, it is not hot summer, but winter, and it gets dark very early.

A group of people were laughing and chatting, wearing England training uniforms, and went to the restaurant to eat together.

Li Rui, Rooney, Alan.It may be strange that Lennon and Milner are in the same group. The relationship between Manchester United players and Leeds United players seems to be good. However, this situation is only in the national team or only because of Li Rui. Only existence can appear. Li Rui, who once created infinite brilliance at Manchester United and "flash in the pan" at Leeds United, is the bridge.

When several people arrived at the restaurant, most of them had already arrived.

While eating and chatting, the topic soon turned to the third and fourth finals of this World Cup between Uruguay and the Netherlands to be held tonight.

***********
Li Rui and his teammates are still quite curious about Uruguay, the biggest dark horse in this World Cup.Of course, they won't envy the Dutch team for having the chance to play the Uruguayan in the third or fourth final.

"Lee, who do you think will win?" Milner asked.

"Netherlands." Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Although Uruguay is a dark horse, the Dutch team is really good. It shouldn't be a big problem to win Uruguay."

"The third and fourth place are competing..." The little fat man suddenly stopped the knife and fork, and sighed, "Tomorrow is the final."

"Yes, it's the final!" Li Rui said silently, stuffing the white bread into his mouth in one gulp, as if he was going to swallow the Spanish team in one gulp. . .

***********
PS: I went to pick out wedding dresses and clothes today, and I didn’t get home until evening. I didn’t eat dinner, so I coded.Send 5000+ words first, and I have to stay up late tonight to code words. Xiaoqi is now in reverse day and night, and is in great pain.
