Chapter 226 The Competition for the Top Scorer in the League

For Leeds United coach Eddie Gray, although the league is not over yet, he already has to worry about his players and guard against poaching by other teams.

Leeds United's performance this season can be said to be very good. Of course, this is the conclusion drawn from the comparison with the last round of last season when they were barely relegated... They can reach the FA Cup final and have already won the next round ahead of schedule. The seats in the European competition this season have surprised many people. In the league, Leeds United has never fallen into the relegation zone. .

The current situation is that the team's performance is good, and of course the players of Leeds United will be missed by many clubs.

…………

Leeds United right back Frazier Richardson, left back and veteran of the team Ian Hart, in addition to young midfielders Milner, Alan Lennon, and Alan Smith on the front line Players have teams asking for offers either explicitly or implicitly.

As for Li Rui, there is even a club that has never stopped favoring this young man. Although Li Rui has just renewed his contract not long ago, in the eyes of other clubs, what is a contract renewal?As long as the price is in place, even the original Barcelona core Figo can switch to rival Real Madrid, what is impossible for a Chinese player, this is also what many clubs think.

However, even after the winter break, the young Argentine central defender Coloccini, who just joined Leeds United, has aroused the interest of some clubs because of his good performance in the past half of the season.

In addition, even though Neil Gilckney, who missed most of the season due to injury, gradually squeezed Bambi to the bench after returning from injury, some teams expressed their willingness to introduce this young man .

…………

Anyway, in a word, in the eyes of many clubs, a hypermarket called Leeds United Supermarket may open soon. In the perception of some clubs, anyway, Leeds United has almost sold off its star players in recent seasons. It is considered a routine by many clubs. In their view, now, this summer, you have achieved good results at Leeds United. If you don’t take the opportunity to sell your players for a high price, what else do you want to do? You know, after this There is no such store in the village. If you don't sell players, do you really want to make a name for yourself in the Premier League and European competitions?Don't be funny, this is not the era when grassroots teams can easily shake the league structure.

…………

Therefore, when there was still the last round of the league, all kinds of rumors about Leeds United players seemed to pop up all at once.

Here, the "Daily Mirror" just reported that London's Tottenham Hotspur have taken a fancy to Leeds United double stars Milner and Aaron Lennon, and plan to spend 2100 million pounds on a packaged acquisition.

Over there, the "Manchester Guardian" has started to stir up nonsense again. It will start to interpret countless sequel versions around the story between Alan Smith and Manchester United last summer. million pounds, vowed to bring Alan Smith to Old Trafford.

…………

In addition, Fulham has taken a fancy to Neil Gilckney, Liverpool's Spanish coach Benitez intends to introduce Richardson; Spain's Valencia club is eyeing Leeds United left-back and veteran Ian Ha Especially, Serie A's Roma intends to bring Coloccini back to Serie A, and so on, all these news came out all of a sudden.

Looking at this posture, Leeds United fans are really worried. After the end of the season, overnight, more than half of Leeds United's starting list for this season will be changed...

…………

Of course, if it was just the media making noise, Leeds United fans would not be so worried. However, the agents of many of the players also seemed to be contributing to the flames. When asked by the media about the future of a certain player in their hands, they answered When the question is evasive, it makes people have a lot of reverie.

Perhaps, this is just a means of pressure from the agents, the purpose is to improve the treatment of their players, but it does not rule out the situation where the lions open their mouths. Once the requirements of the players are not met, the possibility of transfer is not ruled out …To paraphrase an advertising slogan, when the circulation of players in modern football is becoming more and more frequent, 'anything is possible'...

However, the team coach Eddie Gray had to emphasize again and again that the team would not sell any of the stars in the team, because, 'Leeds United wants to tell everyone that we are coming to the European arena! '

What do you tell your opponent?Of course, it is based on results. The subtext is that Leeds United is not going to go to the European arena to go through the motions. We have ambitions. If this is the case, how can it be possible to sell the team's stars.

Of course, Eddie Gray is not so civilized when answering these questions in front of the media. The 'rogue coach' has a bad reputation for being uncooperative with the media, but that's what it means.

…………

As for the young new chairman of the club, Paul Stubbs, he must be worried, this time he must be bleeding heavily.If you want to keep these important players in the team, you can't do without paying a price.

To be honest, although Eddie Gray swears in the face of the media that "no one is missing", the head coach of Leeds United is still worried in his heart. He can't keep the young chairman. , in the face of high transfer offers, will some players be sold in a flash of enthusiasm?

…………

Therefore, these days, Paul Stubbs also has to endure Eddie Gray's noise. Eddie Gray even made a list. The players on these lists are 'not for sale'. Mr. Chairman warned, "Without these players, let alone Leeds United achieve good results in the European arena next season, I will not be surprised even if they are relegated."

…………

Paul Stubbs sat in his office, looking at the long list in his hand:
Goalkeeper Scott Carson, right back Richardson, center back Coloccini, midfielder Albertini, right winger Milner, left winger Neil Gilckney, and Alan Lennon and Lee Sharp, plus Alan Smith...

Mr. Chairman clicked twice, this list can almost be regarded as the team's starting list.

…………

Among the few missing players, Radebe at the center back position has announced that he will renew his contract with the team for one year and will retire at Leeds United next year. The team plans to retire at Elland Road for such a veteran The decision is quite satisfactory and supportive.

In addition, Dubury's youth is also there. No other club is so friendly to this veteran. Only left back Ian Hart still has many potential buyers.

Of course, Eddie Gray also provided another list of players who can be considered for sale. In this list, the one who can be sold is Bambi. Of course, the player who was introduced from Arsenal last summer Perhaps Pennant could still sell it at a price that wasn't a loss.

…………

The season is not over yet, and the FA Cup final has not yet started, but the coaching staff of Leeds United are already thinking about next season, which is actually the case. The real transfer, when the season is not over, It is time to start making preparations. Once the transfer market opens, it will be too late to make preparations.

…………

Since he didn't know the new chairman, Eddie Gray didn't know the plan of the chairman. He also racked his brains to keep his players. After all, in the past few seasons, Leeds United sold their star players The practice is still fresh in the memory of many people. Eddie Gray even hinted to Mr. Chairman, "After undergoing the baptism of the European competition, the value of these guys will only skyrocket and will not fall... ..."

Will it really happen?Of course, this possibility exists, but this requires Leeds United to perform well in the European arena, which no one can guarantee. After all, this season Leeds United reached the FA Cup final, but next season is a No one dared to say what happened.

Of course, Eddie Gray also called the former chairman of the club, the actual owner of the club, Mr. Stubbs, and asked the old gentleman if his plan to revitalize Leeds United was just empty talk. You said at the beginning that you wanted to see Leeds United win the championship trophy again in your lifetime. Now, Leeds United has reached the FA Cup final this season. Could it be that if Leeds United really wins the FA Cup? Champion, your wish has come true, no motivation?Is this the so-called restoration of glory? !
Anyway, when the media is fueling the flames, no one knows that behind the seemingly calm occasional ripples, the exchanges between the club's top management...

…………

Just as the head coach of Leeds United, Eddie Gray, was worried about a repeat of the sale of his star players in recent seasons, Leeds United fans are even more worried about this situation. On the one hand, he said that he would not take the initiative to sell any star, and on the other hand, Kewell, Woodgate, Dacourt, Mills, Viduka, these players left the Elland Road Stadium one by one...

Among them, Kewell, who has been at the Elland Road Stadium since 1995, is the representative of Leeds United's golden generation. This Australian international who represented Leeds United's first team at the age of 17 was sold to Liverpool by the team in 2003. Fans rioted...

So, after all this season, this Leeds United team, relying on a few veterans and a group of young people, has achieved good results and reached the FA Cup final. This Leeds United team has also been frequently won by Leeds United fans. Let’s compare it with the golden generation of Leeds United. It can be said that this Leeds United team has placed too much hope on the Leeds United fans. Now, transfer rumors are popping up all of a sudden. It seems that the Leeds United Star Supermarket has opened Same.

…………

Carson, Richardson, Milner, Neil Gilckney, Alan Lennon, and Li Rui, these six young men of similar age are regarded by Leeds United fans as the hope of Leeds United's revival. In the hearts of Leeds United fans, these young men are the backbone of a strong Leeds United in the next ten years. Now, it is possible that the future hope of Leeds United will be smashed to pieces overnight. worried? !

Leeds United fans don’t know much about the Stubbs family. They just know that the old Stubbs was a die-hard Leeds United fan. However, this is not a reason for Leeds United fans to trust the club’s senior management. After all, a businessman is a businessman. Nobody can tell.

…………

"25 goals? Two goals short of Thierry Henry (27 goals)?! Yes, I know... this game against Fulham, I will close the gap. Can I get the top scorer? I know What do you mean by asking this question? I want to say that I am satisfied with the current situation. Of course, if I can score two goals in the last game, I will be very happy, but I don’t think Birmingham can cause problems for Henry."

Despite these words, Li Rui was talking to reporters about the competition for the top scorer. He didn't mention a single word about his opponent Fulham in the final round. What's the problem, this in itself is a contempt for Fulham, and it also makes Li Rui a public enemy of Fulham all of a sudden.

Because of his defiant attitude of not taking Fulham, the opponent of this game, seriously, Li Rui made Fulham's players and fans very upset.

…………

Marblanco, the soul of Fulham's midfielder, told the media: "Yes, this young man has performed very well this season, but don't forget that the last game of the season is also very memorable for us. Meaning, this is our home court, at Craven Farms, we are not afraid of anyone!"

"Li's words seem to have offended the Fulham team. Tomorrow's game, this young man will definitely get the attention of the Fulham team. Whether he can score goals and come from behind, in the competition for the top scorer, Create a miracle? We are all concerned, let’s wait and see.” The BBC’s Match of the Day 2 (Match of the Day 2) program gave a forward-looking introduction to the final game of the Premier League this season. When it comes to Leeds United and Fulham During the match, Strachan rarely used his usual sarcasm, but encouraged Li Rui to some extent.

…………

Now, the whole of England is watching two games, Arsenal VS Birmingham at home, and Leeds United VS Fulham away. The progress of these two games will determine the top scorer of the league this season.After the last round of the league, Chelsea has locked the league title one round ahead of schedule, and the ranking of the top four in the league has also been determined. Liverpool, which has reached the Champions League final, has confirmed the fifth place in the league. Now, the entire Premier League The only suspense left is the ownership of this season's top scorer.

Leeds United's teammates are all cheering for Li Rui. The atmosphere in the team is very good now. The team has reached the FA Cup final, which has greatly stimulated the players' self-confidence and the team's cohesion.

…………

"Don't be afraid of those guys from Fulham, the Cockneys can't stop you at all!" Leeds United's deputy Gary Kelly patted Li Rui on the shoulder and said. For this young man, the Leeds United veteran liked this young man very much. In fact, Li Rui's popularity in Leeds United has always been good, and everyone likes this kid very much.

Li Rui was devouring a plate of salad in front of him. After destroying a plate of salad like a storm, Li Rui wiped his mouth and nodded vigorously, as if what he destroyed was not only the salad, but also the last round of the league. Rival Fulham.

"That's right! Lee, we've never been afraid of Cockneys!" This was Richardson's loud voice, but he couldn't say that he was bragging. Arsenal, these two London giants, and Tottenham Hotspur were also eliminated by Leeds United, so Leeds United is really not afraid of the London team.

Now, Leeds United has reached the FA Cup final and has secured a place in the UEFA Cup. In the league, Leeds United has nothing to pursue. If we say, what can stimulate the players of Leeds United now? That is, they want to help Li Rui, so that this young man can set a record and become Leeds United's first league top scorer in the last 30 years after breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's scoring record in his first season in the Premier League!
…………

In response to Li Rui's remark that he would 'score at least two goals' at Craven Farm, Leeds United coach Eddie Gray was blocked by reporters in the mixed interview area, and they asked the Leeds United head coach to talk opinion on this matter.

"Mr. Gray, what do you think of what Lee said? You must know that Fulham once beat Leeds United 3-0 in an away game!" The reporter from London asked this question. Obviously, Leeds United played at home. The 0:3 loss to Fulham in this league is definitely the most worth mentioning game between the London team and Leeds United this season, and the reporters are also very clear that this fiasco is also The head coach of Leeds United is really unbearable to look back on a game, so when the reporter in London mentioned that fiasco, when Leeds United is about to visit Fulham, the meaning it wants to express is obvious.

…………

Of course Eddie Gray knew what kind of jokes these London reporters wanted to see. He didn't mention that game at all. Didn't you ask me what I said about Li Rui? Then I will answer this question.

The head coach of Leeds United looked like 'I'm very busy', and waved his hand: "Lee has scored 25 goals, but I think he must be very dissatisfied, because, in the list of his scoring opponents Here, the name of a team is missing, but, luckily, in two days, we will meet that team. He said to score at least two goals? Actually, I always advocate respect for any opponent, Although maybe we will actually get a big win!"

The expressions of several London reporters suddenly became embarrassing. Seeing the 'rogue coach' who waved his hands nonchalantly and turned away after saying this, they all gritted their teeth with hatred.

…………

One day later, on May 2005, 5, the Leeds United team arrived in London by bus. This was the sixth time Leeds United visited London this season. One day later, they will challenge Fulham away at Craven Farm. .

This game is also the last game of the season for Leeds United.

…………

Leaving aside Li Rui's remarks, just the remarks of Leeds United coach Eddie Gray completely offended the Fulham club, and the Fulham club responded quickly.

When the Leeds United players got used to the field at Fulham's Craven Farm Stadium, they saw a vegetable field, and saw that the field was almost flooded. The football could float on the turf. The Leeds United players were all stupid Looking at it, they didn't expect that the Fulham people would do such a trick!
Although it is said that the heavy rain for several days may affect the drainage system of the stadium, Fulham's Craven Farm Stadium has always been good, so how could it become a muddy vegetable field overnight? The venue is definitely not a good thing for Leeds United, which pays attention to coordination and speed.

Eddie Gray yelled angrily on the sidelines, "These guys, I bet, after we got used to the venue, the drainage system of the court has returned to normal in the second day of the game, shit! Crap! Dirty guys !"

Leeds United assistant coach Gustavo Poyet curled his lips. If you hadn't said those words, would Fulham have gone so far?
It's just that the head coach of Leeds United obviously didn't. These things came out of his own awareness, and he was still cursing on the sidelines. Even a staff member of the Craven Farm Stadium "accidentally" came over when Leeds United was training. When looking for items lost on the pitch, Eddie Gray didn't shy away from swearing, asking the players to fuck Fulham hard in the next day's game.

…………

Seeing that the situation on the field was really bad, Eddie Gray did not arrange the team's in-team training. He just simply warmed up and ended the warm-up on the field.

The Leeds United players who finished training in the mud were obviously not in a good mood. When passing through the free zone, the Leeds United players ignored the media. They just said that most of the media present should be from London. Obviously, these reporters know the situation of the field. Seeing the Leeds United players whose white jerseys are covered with grass mud and mud, maybe these guys are gloating. The Leeds United players don’t want their own Embarrassed to appear in the media.

Li Rui even let the media reporters call him by his name without paying attention. He doesn't have the time to deal with the media now. Besides, he also knows that the questions he asks are all about what he said. The media Of course, Li Rui didn't want these media to get what he wanted when he heard some more explosive words from his own mouth.

…………

The reporters obviously didn't give up and wanted to get some words out of Li Rui's mouth. However, seeing Li Rui's back disappeared in the free interview area, they shouted at his back several times, and then they were unwilling to leave , A few local reporters in London were still cursing, and there was nothing good to say.

At this time, Leeds United head coach Eddie Gray and Gustavo Poyet appeared in the free interview area together. Surprisingly, none of the local media in London came up to interview the head coach. Yes, it can be seen that the 'rogue coach' is indeed very unpopular with Fulham.

************
In the last round of the league this season, Leeds United challenged Fulham in an away game, because Leeds United's No.10 ranking has almost been determined. There is no need to worry about relegation, and it is impossible to reach the top six. Moreover, Leeds United Entering the FA Cup final, because the final opponent Manchester United has qualified for the Champions League, Leeds United has already secured a seat in the UEFA Cup. Therefore, this away game against Fulham can be said to be, Does not have any eye-catching factors.

However, it was just such an ordinary game. A large number of Leeds United fans came to the away game. At the Craven Farm Stadium, the Leeds United fans played in the stands, wishing the team the victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup, And imploring the club to keep the slogans of Carson, Richardson, Milner, Neil Gilckney, Alan Lennon, Li Rui and other players, and a large banner with encouraging slogans, "Europe, wait You go to conquer!!"

As long as a Leeds United player touches the ball, the Leeds United fans will burst into enthusiastic applause. The momentum created by the Leeds United fans even overwhelmed the Fulham fans who are playing at home.

…………

"The atmosphere at Fulham's home stadium, Craven Farm, is very warm! This is the last round of the league this season. This game has nothing to do with the rankings of the two sides, but it has attracted great enthusiasm from the fans of both sides. Leeds United also Many fans followed, and they wanted to applaud their team's last game of the season. Of course, they also cheered for Lee! This 20-year-old boy broke Ruud Van Nistelroo's After Yi's scoring record in his debut season, he will have the opportunity to fight for the top scorer!" Taibi, the live commentator of Sky TV, who was explaining the game, had to raise the volume so that his voice could be heard clearly by the TV. The fans are very clear.

"Li's remarks before the game also made the Fulham fans very angry. They vowed to put a lot of pressure on the Chinese boy during the game..." Lineker was stunned for a while when he said this, he was a little bit uncomfortable I couldn't believe my eyes, and after looking twice, I said embarrassingly, "We saw, saw, this game, Li did not appear in the list of starting players for Leeds United!"

In fact, it wasn't just Sky commentator Lineker who was surprised...

…………

In this game, Leeds United has hidden the four main players Li Rui, Alan Lennon, Milner and Coloccini.

This also made the Fulham players, who were angered by Li Rui's remarks before the game, dumbfounded at the beginning of the game. The head coach of Fulham also took advantage of Li Rui's provocation in the locker room to cheer up the players...

However, at the beginning of the game, they saw that the Chinese player who made them angry was actually sitting on the bench. This made the Fulham players suddenly not know who to release their anger on, and they were a little at a loss.

The camera of the live broadcaster was also aimed at the Leeds United bench. Sitting on the bench, Li Rui looked very quiet, watching the game with his chin resting on his hands.

"Haha, it seems that Li is also very helpless, he must be impatient to play." Taibi said with a smile.

…………

Li Rui has been told by head coach Eddie Gray that he will sit on the bench in this game, which also makes Li Rui very disappointed. He is now behind Henry's in the scorer list with 25 goals. 27 goals, although there is still a gap of two goals, it is difficult to catch up in the last game, but Li Rui also wants to try, after all, if you admit defeat without a fight, it is definitely not in line with Li Rui personality.

However, Eddie Gray has already decided that in this game, many of the main players will be hidden away. From the perspective of Leeds United's coaching staff and senior management, now, for Leeds United, a week later, in Cardiff Millennium The FA Cup final at the stadium is undoubtedly the most important.

However, for Li Rui himself, as the commentator Taibi said, Li Rui is so eager to play, he doesn't want what he said to be regarded as an anti-aircraft gun by the Fulham people, and, for the top scorer Li Rui still wants to compete for the competition. The difference of 2 goals is really not a big problem.

However, Eddie Gray chose to put himself on the bench for the FA Cup final a week later, and the coach had his own reasons. Regarding this decision, Li Rui himself had nothing to say.

…………

However, seeing that Li Rui did not appear on the pitch, Fulham coach Coleman was relieved in his heart. He had carefully studied Leeds United's style of play, and Coleman had to be afraid of that Chinese kid. Now, seeing that Li Rui did not play, Coleman is a little relieved. He is a rational head coach and will never be annoyed at losing a chance to teach Li Rui because Li Rui did not play. Compared with these emotional battles, Coleman pays more attention to the team's results. Although Fulham has already qualified for the Intertoto Cup and has no desires in the league, but it can end this season with a victory. A season is better than a loss!

"Li Rui didn't play. This was beyond everyone's expectations. I don't know what Eddie Gray planned." Sky TV commentator Taibi said. To be honest, for Li Rui not being able to play, Taibi Undoubtedly disappointed, I believe that many fans in front of the TV are also disappointed.

Originated from Li Rui's remarks before the game and Eddie Gray's words, in this game, all the fans want to see what outstanding performance Li Rui can have. It's still this kid who can only talk big, but, Now, Eddie Gray has put Li Rui on the bench, apparently to save energy for the FA Cup final a week later. Although it is understandable, the fans who plan to watch Li Rui's performance are obviously disappointed!

…………

"Can Leeds United score goals without Lee? This is a difficult question to answer. This Chinese guy is the key to Leeds United's offense. Leeds United without No. 11..." Lineker said Before he finished speaking, he was given a big surprise on the court. If he didn't say anything, he didn't need to say it.

Although Li Rui, the core of the attack, did not play, Leeds United teenager Neil Gilckney gave a blow to the Fulham fans who came to Craven Farm to cheer for the home team Fulham at the beginning of the game!
…………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Neil... Gilckney!!!!!! GOOOOAAL!! 7 minutes, just 7 minutes into the game, Leeds United took the lead away! 1:0!!" Taibi's high-pitched voice sounded.

After scoring the goal, Neil Gilckney looked extremely excited. He opened his arms and ran to the stands of the visiting fans at Craven Farm, waving his arms vigorously and shouting!

Due to the suspension of the red card, Neil Gilckney will not be able to play in the FA Cup final a week later. This is really a pity for this young man who is eager for honor. Lehm's game was the last game of the league this season, and it was also Neil Gilckney's last game of the season, so he also fought very hard in this game!

For Neil Gilckney, this game is his FA Cup final!

…………

In the 7th minute of the game, after Neil Gilckney split the football, he suddenly went forward, and after getting the ball, Bambi and Pennant made a wall-hitting cooperation, and when they dribbled the ball on the side , suddenly made a cross.

In the penalty area, the attention of the Fulham defenders was all attracted by Alan Smith in the front point, and they did not notice the sudden jump in by Neil Gilckney from the back point. Behind Fultz, he nimbly stepped in, and with an irregular kicking motion, kicked the football hard into Fulham's goal!
In fact, the quality of Neil Gilckney's shot was not high. After the football almost bounced on the ground, the ball was not fast, but it rolled into the net. Although the ball was not fast, Fulham The goalkeeper's attention was attracted by Alan Smith in the front point, and Neil Gilckney came in from behind Fultz. What action, watching the ball go into the goal.

The Leeds United fans who came to the away game at Craven Farm also gave warm applause to Neil Gilckney. Applause in advance, this young man has also made a great contribution to Leeds United's advancement to the final.

…………

However, Fulham also quickly equalized the score.

In the 19th minute of the game, Marblanco dribbled the ball in the midfield. He first made an emergency stop and changed the line in a high-speed dribble past Albertini, and then took two more steps. On the right, where Radzinski got the ball forward, dribbled along the wing and hoisted the ball into the penalty area near the baseline.

In the restricted area, Andy Cole won the battle with Kil Gallon and hit the football. Although Carson threw the football, he still couldn't stop the football from entering the net.

1: 1!

Fulham quickly equalized and the game was back on the same starting line.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1. There was no change. Although the Leeds United players worked hard, due to the wet and slippery field, both sides made frequent mistakes and fought more in the midfield. There are not many opportunities to attack the opponent's penalty area.

…………

During the half-time break, in the dressing room of the visiting team at Craven Farm, to the surprise of the Leeds United players, Eddie Gray actually smiled and said to the players that he was very satisfied with the team's performance, this 1: A score of 1 is pretty good.

This obviously 'frightened' the Leeds United players. Richardson suspected that what the boss was saying was ironic. He stammered and said that the team's conceded goals were his own responsibility, and he failed to keep up with Radzinski. The pace led to Radzinski completing an assist.

Eddie Gray waved his hand and interrupted Richardson's stuttering words, "Am I so unbelievable? I am really satisfied. The first half was a draw, which is very good. This shows that, If we want to beat the opponent by a big score, more goals will be scored in the second half! Our attack power in the half will satisfy me."

…………

As soon as the second half started, Li Rui couldn't sit still anymore. He dangled around Eddie Gray, intending to attract Eddie Gray's attention and remind the boss not to forget himself.

I don't know if Li Rui was dangling beside Eddie Gray, which made the head coach of Leeds United very upset. He waved his hand impatiently, and drove Li Rui aside to prepare for warm-up.

…………

In the 55th minute of the game, Leeds United 1:1 Fulham, on the sidelines, Eddie Gray made a substitution, and Li Rui, who had been warming up on the sidelines, came off the bench. When Li Rui was warming up on the sidelines, Just under the stands where the Leeds United fans were, it had already aroused bursts of applause from the Leeds United fans. When he came off the bench, the Leeds United fans burst into the warmest applause. This is the last game of the season. It was also Leeds United fans who expressed their inner gratitude for this young lad.

This season, although Li Rui's performance has had ups and downs, it is this young man's 25 league goals and 7 goals in the FA Cup that have helped Leeds United achieve what fans could not have imagined before the season. Good results. For his debut season at Leeds United, Li Rui's performance has been perfect.

…………

However, when Li Rui was on the field, in addition to the boos of the Leeds United fans, the Fulham fans in the entire Craven Farm Stadium booed harshly. Welcome one!
Li Rui stepped on the ground with his right foot and stepped onto the turf of the Craven Farm Stadium... He listened to the boos of the home fans, but he felt even more excited...
