Chapter 913 Final day!
Li Rui is still a little silent these days.Although he chatted and bragged with his teammates, everyone could see that Li Rui had something on his mind and was under pressure.

In fact, Li Rui wasn't targeting his teammates. He just became a little nervous as the game approached. That's right, he was nervous. Li Rui, who is rarely nervous, was unprecedentedly nervous when the World Cup final was approaching. nervous.

He gritted his teeth and vowed to win the championship, and to give the Hercules Cup to the teacher in heaven.

However, you must know that it is the final of the World Cup, and wanting to win the championship is not just wishful thinking!
Everyone has naturally noticed Li Rui's 'abnormal' behavior. Tomorrow is the final, and they are secretly planning an action related to Li Rui.Otherwise, everything was done without Li Rui's knowledge.

***********
After dinner, Mourinho told the players to watch the third and fourth World Cup finals of the Netherlands VS Uruguay in their respective rooms.At this time, half an hour before the game started, several of them gathered in Alan Lennon's room.

Li Rui, the vice-president of the England team, didn't know that a massive operation about him was taking place.

"Have you noticed Li's abnormality?" Captain Beckham looked at everyone and said.

Everyone nodded.

"We have to do something for him." Beckham was very happy to get everyone's response, he continued, "Lee's pressure seems to be great. I know him, the bigger the game, the more he gives himself too much. A lot of responsibility, in such an important final. I believe, he must have put too much pressure on himself. This is not appropriate, winning the game is the responsibility of all of us, and this guy always thinks he is his hero."

"This has something to do with the death of his teacher, and he is still very sad." Rooney, who was in the same room as Li Rui, said that he felt the most.

"But we have comforted him several times, and it doesn't seem to be effective..." Li Rui's friend and Leeds United teammate Alan Lennon was at a loss for what to do.He has a good relationship with Li Rui, so he is naturally anxious, but it is useless to be anxious.

***********
"Now is not the time to comfort him. What's more, without the regretful thing of that gentleman's death, Li Rui would also be under pressure. Don't forget, he is only [-] years old, but that guy feels that he has to bear the burden." It is the same responsibility as the whole team." Milner expressed his opinion, "It's very simple. We have to tell this guy that the final is not his alone, the championship is what we all desire! I think what we should do at this time It is to make him feel that we are all together with him... the glory is together, and the pressure must be shared together."

Beckham thought about it.He raised his head and said, "In the final, if someone scores a goal, we should do something."

***********
Now, there are Beckham, Rooney, Aaron Lennon, and Milner in the room. They all have one thing in common. They are not only Li Rui's teammates, but also his friends, although the age span seems a bit large.

Among the four, Beckham and Rooney should start, while Allen.Lennon and Milner should also have a chance to play.However, if it comes to scoring goals in the game, Rooney is one, and he is in good form now, while Beckham is another. The old captain's full-moon scimitar still has room to play in the final.

"I will try to score. If we can, we can write something on the T-shirt after the goal. Tell him what we have to say." Rooney went on immediately.

"That's a good idea!" Allen said.Lennon's eyes lit up. "We're going to let this guy know, and us."

"You can inform other people in secret, no matter who scores a goal, you can celebrate together." The captain added.

"That's a good idea."

"I'll inform the others."

"Be careful, don't let Li find out." Beckham reminded.He made this suggestion with two meanings. The first point is that Beckham did notice that Li Rui was a little nervous. Obviously, he was under a lot of pressure, which made Beckham a little worried. No matter how powerful Li Rui is, no matter how good his condition is , However, anyone facing the World Cup finals will be nervous. If you add the pressure you deliberately put on yourself, the burden will be too great, so big that it can even crush you.Another point is that Beckham is also keenly aware of the nervousness of other teammates, including himself. It is the first time for the entire England team to participate in the World Cup finals. It is no wonder that they are not nervous.Although everyone didn't say anything, they all gritted their teeth and secretly vowed to win the championship. Motivation is a good thing, but too much pressure can easily cause adverse effects. Therefore, Beckham used such a small strategy to share the burden. The attention of the players not only makes everyone more motivated, but also not too exciting.

Li Rui has always been the hero of England. He is the one who guarantees the progress of England. While his teammates trust him, he may have other ideas. This is not jealousy, but to express himself and prove his ideas. Now Hearing what Beckham said, they naturally responded. On the one hand, they really wanted to encourage Li Rui and share the pressure for him. Not only his responsibility, but also theirs!
***********
Without Li Rui's knowledge, the biggest tandem operation in England's history was underway.

As an assistant coach, Alan Shearer not only arranges for the players to train, but also pays attention to communicating with the players and observing their situation. Now, when the World Cup final is coming, he naturally dare not be careless.

The 'sneaky' activities of the players naturally caught his attention.

"David and the others seem to be doing something." Alan Shearer said.

"Oh... what's the matter?" Mourinho, who was optimizing his tactical plan, asked casually.

"It seems to be related to Lee." Alan Shearer expressed his opinion, "Shall we do something?"

"No need." Mourinho shook his head and said with a shrug. Everyone has their own little secrets, and the players are no exception. They have some internal actions. It's nothing, and the coaches don't need to interfere.Moreover, Mourinho also seemed to be able to guess what the players were doing. He knew that it was captain Beckham who was working hard to prepare for the final.Then there is no need to interfere.

The players have the veteran Beckham on their side, so there will be no mistakes.Moreover, Mourinho's biggest job now is to study Spain and find a way to kill this team. Moreover, the more he studies this team, Mourinho feels a headache. Spain is not easy to deal with.

***********
The three or four places in the [-] World Cup in South Africa ended with the Dutch team [-]:[-] Uruguay. The Dutch team won the third place in this World Cup. And Forlan's goal, showing Uruguay's determination to resist.

Now, the eyes of the world are on the World Cup Final at Johannesburg's Soccer Stadium on July [-].

England's coaching staff are holding their final tactical meeting with final opponents Spain.

"In the past year, due to Torres' injury and state problems, Spain has been playing a single striker for most of the time, that is, a [-] formation, basically following the old path of the [-] European Cup. We knocked out Spain in the final."

"The Spanish team is actually on the front line now, only Villa alone, and the combination of Busquets and Alonso replaced Senna in the midfield. This lineup can be said to have performed well in the qualifiers and the warm-up match. They have played very well, they have not lost. Now, we will talk about Spain's only loss in this World Cup, which is their first game in the World Cup group stage, against Switzerland. That For the first game, Bosque chose this [-] lineup as the starting lineup, but they lost."

***********
The front is full of speeches from the coaching staff. Mourinho coughed, and he was about to speak.

"What Bosque didn't expect was that the defensive strength of the World Cup was far greater than that of ordinary qualifiers and warm-up matches, and because of Spain's strong momentum in the past two years, all opponents knew Spain's offense well, leading to Spain's first match against Spain. Switzerland has been unable to attack for a long time. I have to say that Spain’s loss in the first game was indeed some accidental factors. Ordinarily, it should have been a draw at worst. The Swiss goal was too accidental. However, this shows that although their offensive ability is very strong , but against the defense, it is not always possible to score. We are in the final and defense is very important."

"In addition, it should be noted that if [-] is called Plan A, then Bosque obviously already has Plan B in mind, which is the formation used in the next few games. This is also the more likely formation for the Spanish team in the final. .”

"Actually, Spain is playing a Barcelona-style 30-[-]-[-]. This Spain is obviously formed with Barcelona players..." said the assistant coach Alan.Shearer clicked on the game clip, which is the video of Spain's elimination of Portugal, "Especially in the last [-] minutes against Portugal, it can be said that it almost played the power of Barcelona. Therefore, we are almost playing against more than half of Barcelona. The team is playing," he joked.

***********
"Will Spain let Torres start?" A coach questioned.The reputation of the Spanish golden boy is too great.Moreover, Torres will still be Villa in Spain, which means two different defensive options for England.The technical characteristics of the two are not the same.

"No!" Mourinho's attitude was very clear. As he spoke, he clicked on another video clip of the game based on Alan Shearer, "Torres is in a bad state, please pay attention, as long as he plays, the Spanish team The "Barcelona-style" frontcourt attack, every time the ball hits him, it is basically gone, and even the basic protection of the ball... Now it is obvious that Torres is in a bad state, and he dare not fight physically at all. Such Player, Del Bosque will not take any chances in the final."

"And." The screen freezes, it is the Spanish striker Llorente who came off the bench, "We should be careful about Llorente. When Llorente comes off the bench, Spain's offensive effect is not much, and there is one more player in the middle to protect The fulcrum of the ball, he does not necessarily have to score, but at least he must be able to protect the ball, Spain's offense will be launched from Llorente for the second time."

***********
Speaking of this, Mourinho also showed his respect and vigilance for the old fox, Bosque. The Spanish team is in a precarious group stage, and Torres is in a bad state. Still insist on using Torres.

According to Mourinho's analysis, there are two reasons: one is to allow Torres to regain his form. After all, if Torres regains his form, it will have a great effect on Spain's future journey; This player who didn't play for 1 minute in the group stage messed up the Portuguese defense line in one game against Portugal. Obviously, Portugal didn't specifically target Luolunte, a player who didn't play for 1 minute before the game. what to prepare.Was caught off guard!
Therefore, facing Spain and Del Bosque was a headache for Mourinho. The opponent was a very strong team. In addition, their head coach was the old fox, so it was very difficult to deal with.

However, Mourinho has been emphasizing how to defend, but he seems very relieved about offense, because with Li Rui, England does not seem to worry too much about offense.

***********
When Mourinho was worrying about the final opponent Spain and their old Fox coach, the Spanish coach Del Bosque was also worrying about England.

In other words, he was worrying about Li Rui.

The [-]-year-old coach is frowning at this moment. He has studied almost all England's matches in this World Cup and the [-] European Cup. He has to admit that as long as Li Rui is on the court, England's offense is really great. Terrible, and once Li Rui is not on the pitch, the Englishman seems to have forgotten how to score goals.

Therefore, what Bosque has to consider seems to be very simple, that is how to freeze Li Rui. As long as Li Rui is no longer a threat on the court, England will almost lose most of its offensive ability.

However, the problem is that Li Rui's current hot state is almost unsolvable.It's hard to guard against him.

How to guard against Li Rui has become the most difficult task that Bosque has been thinking about for the past few days.

***********
July [-]th, final day!
It was already [-]:[-] in the morning for the last tactical meeting of the England coaching staff, and then the England team conducted a [-]-minute tactical training for the final drill.

***********
On the day of the finals, at [-]:[-] noon, the players had lunch, because the finals were held at night, and before that, the energy of the players had to be ensured, so the lunch was relatively rich.

The BBC even obtained the recipe of the England team's lunch before the final for the fans to share. The fans also know that Li Rui seems to drink half a glass of milk more than others for every lunch.Is this the secret of his crazy goals?

***********
Lunch is over.

Mourinho drove all the players into the room to rest and take a nap.Keep your spirits up and prepare for the final tonight.At this time, the atmosphere of the finals almost overwhelmed everyone.

The players obediently went back to their respective rooms for an afternoon nap, but many of them couldn't sleep and lay on their beds looking at the ceiling.They are all champion players who have experienced big scenes. It stands to reason that at this time, they should not be so nervous that they cannot sleep.

However, I really couldn't sleep.

big occasion?Could there be a bigger spectacle than the World Cup final?

***********
On the day of the final, at [-]:[-], England captain Beckham got up and saw that the vice-captain Li Rui had also got up. The two went to the bathroom to pee and chat for a few minutes, and then went to wake the players up together.During the whole lunch break, little fat Rooney went to the bathroom no less than [-] times, he was very nervous.Just yesterday, they were still discussing the topic of Li Rui's nervousness. Unexpectedly, the game was about to start, but they were too nervous.

After getting up, in order to refresh the players and feel the pressure of strength, the physical fitness coach led the whole team to the gym of the hotel where they stayed and sweated for half an hour.

***********
On the day of the final, at 80:100, England's routine pre-match press briefing, Mourinho unexpectedly appeared with two captains, Beckham and Li Rui.The conference room, which can accommodate [-] to [-] people, was crowded with no less than [-] journalists, and the door of the conference room was wide open. In the corridor, there were still many journalists who could not squeeze in.

"All we want is the champion! Only the champion!" Facing the camera, Li Rui's tone was unusually firm.

10 minutes later, at the Spaniard's press briefing, Puyol, the captain of Spain and Barcelona, ​​shook his fist and said, "We have waited too long for the championship!"

***********
Final day, 17:10, dinner time.

Since there is a game at eight o'clock in the evening, there is absolutely no way this dinner will be rich.Just simply let the players replenish their energy.Everyone has experience and didn't eat too much. Fortunately, at noon, the lunch was quite rich, and the energy was stored in advance.

"I feel like we are camels," Rooney joked.

It's a pity that his joke was not funny at all, because everyone didn't laugh.Rooney himself didn't find it funny, he just wanted to relieve his nervousness.

During dinner, England received a call from Queen Elizabeth II, encouraging the players.

Almost at the same time, the Spaniards are also having dinner.

They received a call from King Carlos of Spain wishing them the championship.

Ten minutes later, the media reporters waiting outside the hotel were told that the team was leaving for the final. . .
