Chapter 408 Captain Armband! !
Zhen Zhi looked at Li Rui who was being cheered by the audience with a complicated expression. This kind of spectacular scene shocked the captain of the national team. Although Zhen Zhi knew that Li Rui was popular in Manchester United before, there is a saying How to say it, 'a frog in a well', the captain of the national team who is also the top star in China, has no feelings for Li Rui, the 'little brother' who was expelled from the national team by the Football Association, except that he envies playing at Manchester United. However, at this moment, Zhen Zhi really felt Li Rui's status in Manchester United. When he, the captain of the national team, was still complacent about joining Charlton, this kid was already a top star in the Premier League.

This is the gap.

Don't be angry, this is Li Rui's hard work. When these big names in China are playing women, clubbing, or even gambling and selling balls, Li Rui is sweating profusely on the playing field and training field. What you pay for will bear what you bear. This saying is always true.

***********
During the warm-up before the game, Zhen Zhi did not come up to chat with Li Rui. Of course, he has taboos. Li Rui was not named and criticized by the Football Association for expulsion from the national team. Zhen Zhi also wants to avoid suspicion. You Li Rui is arrogant, no need The bird football association is gone, and Zhen Zhi still has to play in the national team.

For a long time, he thought that he was the boss, the captain of the national team. At this time, it was sour. He knew that Li Rui’s wife, a Hollywood actress, was also in the stands. Tsk tsk, how big is that? , Just play Hollywood actress, and also become a father, really his grandma.

Of course Li Rui didn't know that he was being envied by the big brother of the national team, and he enjoyed this feeling very much now, the feeling of scoring a goal, the feeling of excitement, the feeling of being completely intoxicated by football.

************
Two minutes later, the referee Michael blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and Manchester United temporarily led Charlton 2-2 at home.

Li Rui patted Charlton goalkeeper Carson on the shoulder and smiled. Carson was really depressed when he conceded two goals in the first half of the game. However, these two goals cannot be counted on Carson. Rooney's shot was very tricky, while Li Rui's barb shot, Carson didn't expect it at all.

Carson glared at Li Rui, saying that you don't need to comfort him, Li Rui blew his whistle and said that's good, I'll score two goals in the second half of the game, Carson snorted, ignored Li Rui, and turned to the visiting team to change clothes Walking out of the room, Carson ignored Li Rui, but Sang Kefa was excited. He heard Li Rui said that he would score two goals in the second half, walked past Li Rui, and muttered, "Who do you think you are? Enter as many as you want! '

Li Rui was a little dazed, thinking that Carson and I were joking and reminiscing about the old days. You count that green onion, where did it come from? Kefa glanced, "I am Li Rui! You will remember."

Sang Kefa looked at Li Rui's back as he turned and walked towards the home team's locker room, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, thinking that his girlfriend was fucked by Li Rui.

***********
Inside the home team dressing room at Old Trafford.

"Osay, in the second half, mark Li Rui, don't stay more than half a meter away from him." Charlton coach Pardew said while looking at Sankofa.

San Kefa nodded vigorously. He wanted to face Li Rui a long time ago. Unfortunately, the head coach arranged for him to defend Rooney in the first half. The number of times he faced Li Rui was only a few times. This made Sankhofa feel he was 'a hero without a role to play'.

This young English central defender who was hyped by the English media as Campbell's successor is the same age as Li Rui, but, like most "geniuses" in England, instead of showing the potential of a superstar, he is becoming more and more mediocre. This made the proud Sankofa very dissatisfied. He thought that he should be the focus, and it was Ferdinand and Campbell who were England's top defenders.

And in this game, he has long wanted to face Li Rui, who is now very popular. In Sankefa's view, this kid who is only a few months older than him happens to be a stepping stone for him to become famous again. Keep an eye on Li Rui, Sankofa will immediately attract the attention of the rich, and he will no longer have to hang around with a relegation team like Charlton Athletic. Maybe Uncle Abramovich of Chelsea will wave a ruble to invite himself over. Luxury sports car, Mixed-race Caribbean beauties, these are all beckoning to him.

Therefore, San Kefa was very excited, which is why this guy suddenly jumped up to interrupt Li Rui in the player tunnel just now.He can't wait anymore, even if the head coach Pardew didn't arrange for him to mark Li Rui during the intermission, Sankefa would take the initiative to ask for it. In his opinion, this is his chance to become famous. Is Li Rui a better stepping stone?of course not! !

***********
Naturally, Li Rui didn't know that he was regarded as a stepping stone for promotion by Orsay Sankofa. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. There are many arrogant guys these days, and Li Rui himself was once arrogant , However, arrogance requires capital, without strength, arrogance will only become a joke.

Ferguson praised the team's performance in the first half, especially Rooney who scored the first goal. The little fat man was able to seize the opportunity to open the scoring, which had a great impact on the trend of the game.

And Li Rui's attack at the end of the first half of the game undoubtedly booked three points in advance for Manchester United, which is more beneficial for Manchester United in the second half of the game, and Charlton's morale is obviously because of the second goal. was hit hard.

***********
At the beginning of the second half, Li Rui took the ball in the frontcourt. He knocked the football back to Larson who responded, but was knocked to the ground by San Kefa from the side.

Sang Kefa bent down and pretended to pull Li Rui up, and said viciously in Li Rui's ear, "Boy, this is a meeting gift!"

"Day!" Li Rui shook off San Kefa's hand, and the latter ran towards the penalty area with a happy expression on his face, while laughing and gesturing to the referee Michael to defend himself.

Maybe it was because Sankofa already had a yellow card, the referee Michael was merciful, and he only verbally warned Sankofa, which caused great dissatisfaction from the home fans, and harsh boos sounded.

"Let's take a look at this foul again. It's a very vicious tackle. To be precise, it should be a tackle. God bless, it seems that Li Rui is fine. Michael's penalty is questionable. It should be a yellow card." The main referee expressed his dissent in this penalty.

Li Rui moved his ankles a little. If he hadn't jumped up beforehand, he might have been shoveled to his ankle by San Kefa, "This bastard. Li Rui cursed bitterly. He knew that the nigger did it on purpose, and he wanted to show him off.

'We'll see! '

***********
In the 62nd minute of the game, Li Rui took the ball and San Kefa came up to intercept.

Larson reached out for the ball on the left, but Li Rui didn't intend to pass the ball. He wanted to teach Sankofa a lesson. Li Rui pulled the football to the left, leaned his body to the left, and then used the inside of his foot to push the football away. Pulling back suddenly, he was about to speed up, and Sankefa immediately stepped out to intercept. At this moment, Li Rui poked the football with the toe of his right foot, and the football passed between Sankefa's legs that had just moved up. Li Rui Immediately, he twisted his waist and accelerated from the opposite direction, catching up with the football!
Wearing gear is extraordinary! !
The football field is the most humiliating defensive player, and it is undoubtedly because of passing through others. Sankefa's black face became even darker because of shame and anger. He gritted his teeth and chased after Li Rui.

***********
The Manchester United fans gave warm applause for Li Rui's wonderful breakthrough. From the fans' point of view, it was a kind of enjoyment and showing off. That Sankefa, who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, gave Li Rui a big blow at the beginning of the second half. Provocation, this meeting, tasted great, right? ! !

Sang Kefa's speed is indeed not slow. Li Rui, who has already dribbled the ball at a high speed, is very fast, and he is about to be caught up by Sang Kefa. Wanting to give this guy a little color, of course Li Rui will not forget the game. He knocked the football towards the middle, where Larson, who had been plugging in at high speed, stabbed and shot, and the football came back from Alexander. Song rolled between his legs, blocking Charlton goalkeeper Carson's view, and by the time he reacted to save it, it was too late.

3:0! !
In the 63rd minute of the game, Li Rui sent another assist, Larson scored a wonderful goal, and Manchester United 3-0 Charlton!
***********
"GOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!!!! Larson!! He scored his first goal to join Manchester United!! Congratulations to the veteran, the goal is beautiful!! 3:0, Manchester United are unstoppable."

Li Rui and his former idol Larson clapped hands. He saw very clearly just now that Larson's shot was very clever. Just now Larson could stop the football and adjust his shot again. But, in that case , It is also possible that Charlton's defense has already returned to the defense and lost an offensive opportunity. Larson's seasoned experience is reflected in this shot. Alexander Song passed between his legs. The shot was sudden and clever. Although the angle was not so tricky, it was difficult for the goalkeeper whose sight was blocked to judge.

After celebrating the goal with Larson, Li Rui made a wonderful assist and ran back. When he passed by Sankefa, Li Rui didn't even look at this guy. Guy, Li Rui has touched a lot, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Besides, the breakthrough and assist just now are enough for this guy to be annoyed.

Sang Kefa originally thought that Li Rui would come over to humiliate him, or say something arrogant like, 'Remember, I am Li Rui'——

However, Li Rui didn't do anything, he seemed to 'forget' him, and this kind of forgetting was precisely what Sankefa couldn't accept. The most unacceptable thing for this pretentious guy was others' ignorance! !
He has been ashamed and angered, and his head is dazed.

***********
Charlton also had a threatening attack. This attack was initiated by Zhen Zhi, the captain of the Chinese national team. It should be said that the captain of the national football team is still a bit strong. On Fletcher, the ball was split suddenly. Holland, who was in the middle, dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line. With a poke, in the chaos in the penalty area, Romedal's shot missed the post.

Ferguson broke out in a cold sweat on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with Manchester United's defensive chaos.

The Scottish old man looked at the time. It was already 70 minutes. Manchester United led 3:0. It was time to make adjustments.He said something to the bench, and everyone saw Park Ji-sung warming up.

***********
Osai Sankofa spent all his energy in the entanglement with Li Rui, and his anger was rising rapidly like a thermometer put into boiling water, especially after being played by Li Rui and then sent an assist, Sanko Fa even put all his energy on entanglement with Li Rui.

When San Kefa was easily wiped away by Li Rui again, he almost ran away. He really wanted to kick this arrogant guy's legs off. At worst, he would be sent off with a red card, but the other party might lie down in the hospital. Half a year!

In fact, just now Li Rui broke through Sankefa with just a casual pull and smash. However, this "talented" central defender in England has no longer put his mind on the game. He is now angry Filled the whole head.

***********
woohoo-

Amidst the exclamations of the fans at Old Trafford, Li Rui was also in a cold sweat. Just now he passed Sankefa, but he didn't expect this guy to tackle the ball directly from the back. Fortunately, Li Rui Rui dodged, otherwise he would definitely be injured.

Seeing that the referee Michael still gave Sankofa a verbal warning but did not play a card, Li Rui finally couldn't help it. He loudly protested to the referee, thinking that this was at least a yellow card. He came up to negotiate with the referee, but the referee ignored it.

Li Rui gritted his teeth resentfully. He was irritated. San Kefa's consecutive fouls were all aimed at people. Not decisive enough. Considering that Sankofa already has a yellow card, he is very cautious about drawing another card.

Li Rui looked at San Kefa who was a little complacent, and the 'evil' in his mind had the upper hand, and he had a very good idea.

***********
3 minute later.

When Sang Kefa put Li Rui down on his back again, Li Rui screamed and collapsed on the ground. Everyone saw Li Rui writhing in pain holding his ankle.This made Manchester United fans and Li Haisheng in the stands extremely anxious. Li Rui looked as if his leg was about to be broken, and Jessica was so anxious that she almost cried.

The referee's whistle blew. Orsay Sankofa, the guy who was once boasted by the English media as having the "great central defender gene", finally got his wish. Sankofa almost accepted his ending with a smile— — a second yellow card, and then a bright red card.

This is what he expected.He didn't even make any excuses.When the teammates were still surrounding the referee to plead for him.He pulled the jersey out of his pants and looked at Li Rui who was lying on the ground with a smile. He just wanted to shovel Li Rui off the field to relieve the resentment in his heart.

On the court, some players will become extremely extreme when their skills are not as good as others. To put it bluntly, they are scumbags, and it is obvious that Sankofa is such a person.

***********
'Boy.I go down.You are carried down.This is our respective end.Which one do you think is better? Sang Kefa pretended to comfort the injured Li Rui, bowed his head beside Li Rui and said.

Then, San Kefa snorted proudly and walked towards the sidelines. He was very happy now, what a red card was, he would not hesitate to shovel Li Rui off the field.

At this time, he noticed that Pardo, the head coach of his team, was looking at himself and behind him angrily. Sankofa turned his head and looked back, but saw that he was still tossing and turning on the ground just now.Desperately stretching out his hand to call for a stretcher, Li Rui stood up in front of the team doctor, kicked twice, and twisted his buttocks, as if checking the condition of the 'kimbo muscles'.

At this time, Li Rui still hadn't forgotten, and smiled harmlessly at San Kefa who had already walked to the sidelines.

At this moment, the smile on Osai Sankofa's face froze, he felt a great humiliation, and he was going to run away violently.

***********
At this time, seeing that Li Rui was fine, he was able to walk towards the sidelines with a smile on his face, how could the Manchester United fans not know what happened, and there was a huge cheer. Even more carefree.

Just now Sankefa made several obvious malicious fouls, and the referee Michael did not play a card, which caused great dissatisfaction among the home fans. Now, Li Rui used tricks to get Sankefa down, and the fans would not If you think Li Rui is mean, you will feel extremely excited.

On the court, a good old man and a person who follows the rules are not the fans' favorite. What they like is Li Rui's style just now. When the opponent is very disciplined, everyone plays well. If the opponent is completely chaotic Come on, well, well, I'm unambiguous! !
***********
Even the commentator was on Li Rui's side at this time——

"God! Li injured? This is terrible. In fact, it was completely avoidable. Sankofa should have been given the treatment of going back to the locker room early to take a shower. It was the referee Michael's hesitation that pampered him. Red card , Sure enough, it's time to send that guy out a long time ago - what did we see, Li Rui stood up, he was fine, he even twisted his waist, oh my god, he even laughed at Sankefa, this Liar, he deceived everyone, yes, everyone, I was still worried about this kid just now, look, look, San Kefa probably wants to kill Li Rui, Li Rui is simply too bad, but I like it , As for the red card, it should have appeared long ago, shouldn't it?"

"That's right, after Gaza, it's the first time I like a kid this much."

***********
Seeing that Li Rui was fine, Ferguson was also relieved. Just now he saw Li Rui holding his right leg and screaming. The old Scottish man wanted to kill the referee Michael and the fouled Sankofa. Referee Michael's connivance, Sankofa has long been sent off.

On the other side, the angry Sankefa wanted to trouble Li Rui, but was scolded and dragged by Charlton coach Pardew, and was escorted back to the locker room by the assistant coach. In the first game, the score was 0:3, and now another man has been sent off. Charlton has already lost. What Pardew needs to consider is the next game. After all, in the game against Manchester United, if you lose, you lose. , Scoring points from Manchester United is already a luxury.

He doesn't want that hot-headed Sankofa to cause any more trouble. Once a conflict arises, Charlton, who is fighting hard for relegation, can't stand the twists and turns.

***********
Of course, Pardew did not forget to complain to the fourth official on the sidelines, thinking that it was Li Rui's flop that caused Sankofa to be sent off.The fourth official took one look at the Charlton manager, and replied, "I'll take a factual note of the game, Mr Pardew, please go back to your seat."

Of course, Manchester United fans can guess what Pardew was saying to the fourth official, and the harsh boos sounded.

Even the commentator felt that Coach Charlton was a bit too much. Everyone has seen what Sankofa did. Although Li Rui was suspected of acting this time, the slow motion showed that Sankofa was indeed A shovel from the back, if Li Rui hadn't jumped up early, he would definitely have been injured. This situation has happened several times, and you, the head coach of Charlton, have the nerve to protest?
Ferguson was quite satisfied with Li Rui's performance just now. In the eyes of the old Scottish man, Li Rui was good at everything, but he was too honest on the court. Of course, this honesty did not refer to his temper. Although Li Rui's temper was suspended after the suspension, Somewhat restrained, but the young people are still a little angry, Ferguson refers to some necessary 'art' on the court, which is a must for an offensive player, look at Cristiano Ronaldo or Drogba, which An acting skill is not bad. Although Li Rui scored more goals than them, he still needs to learn more in this area.

***********
At this time, Manchester United also made substitutions.

Park Ji-sung came off the bench, he was going to replace Scholes.

Scholes trotted all the way and ran towards the sidelines. Today's game, Scholes' performance is not very good, of course, it is not too bad. It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. In today's game, all The focus was on Li Rui, with one shot and two passes, Manchester United's three goals were all related to Li Rui, and they also "played a conspiracy" to get Charlton's central defender Sankofa to be sent off.

Scholes was the captain of the Manchester United team in this game. When he walked towards the sidelines, he took off the captain's armband while walking. However, after taking off the captain's armband, Scholes hesitated a little. Because he didn't know who he should give the captain's armband to.

***********
Manchester United's first captain is Gary Neville, the second captain is Giggs, and then Scholes, of course, Ferdinand is also the third captain, but now Gary Neville, Giggs , Ferdinand were not on the field, Scholes hesitated, and planned to hand over the captain's armband to Brown. Although Brown is not the main force of the first team, he can be regarded as a veteran of the Manchester United team. The captain's armband is worn on his arm. , can be considered reasonable.

At this time, everyone saw that Ferguson yelled something on the sidelines. Then, Scholes walked back with the captain's armband in his hand, found Li Rui, and put the captain's armband on Li Rui's arm On, after helping Li Rui put it on, he patted Li Rui's shoulder heavily.

***********
This is an amazing move, Manchester United's first captain is Gary. Neville, the second captain is Giggs, the third captain is Scholes or Ferdinand.Although Gary Neville and Giggs were not on the field, no one would have thought that Scholes would hand over the captain's armband to Li Rui.

You know, Li Rui is only 22 years old, he is Chinese, and he has only been in Manchester United for nearly two seasons. Although the fans like him, Li Rui seems to be far away from the captain's position, and, now on the field, Veteran van der Sar has experience and experience, so it is reasonable to wear the captain's armband. Brown is also a veteran. Even Rooney, the fat guy on the front line, is older than Li Rui's qualifications at Manchester United. What do the reporters think, the captain's armband should not be Wear it on Li Rui's arm.

The reporters in the press box were all muttering, but it didn't look like Scholes made his own decision, because everyone saw that Scholes seemed to have planned to hand over the captain's armband to Brown, and then After Ferguson shouted something, Scholes handed over the captain's armband to Li Rui.

What does this mean? This means that this was hand-picked by the old Scottish man, and it was not an unintentional decision.

Of course, this still makes the reporters a little unbelievable. You must know that in a giant like Manchester United, the captain's armband means too much, and it is not a simple matter.

"If, in future games, Li Rui has the opportunity to wear the captain's armband again—" the reporters all thought so.

***********
Li Rui, who was put on the armband, looked at Scholes in surprise, but the latter smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, captain, hehe, this is the boss's decision, don't let us down!"

What Scholes said was not 'don't let the boss down', but 'don't let us down'. Li Rui understood that this was Paul's support for him. He nodded vigorously, with a sense of responsibility that he had never felt before. There was a surge in his chest, and the captain's armband was light and heavy on his arm, but it was so heavy.

***********
PS: Dear readers, here is the first update.

Li Rui's league goal count should be 29, not 26. Xiaoqi made a mistake. Thank you for your corrections.
