green star

Chapter 415 Slap in the face
What gave Li Rui a headache was also the emotions of the England fans.

The "Sunday Mirror" is very good. They saw that the newspaper sold so well that day, and even conducted a fan survey on the next day's newspaper.

The title of the survey was, 'Do you think England need Li Rui? ', very concise and concise, directly referring to the name, the subject, the predicate, and the object, all three elements are present.

The survey of the "Sunday Mirror" greatly stimulated the interest of England fans, and many England fans even went to investigate this issue of the "Sunday Mirror" readers.They may have never read the "Sunday Mirror" before, but today, they all pay extra attention to this matter and this investigation.

Not only England fans are paying attention to the fan survey of the "Sunday Mirror", but Li Rui himself is also paying attention. This can be said to be Li Rui's understanding of the attitude of ordinary England fans towards this matter from one aspect——

Is it spending and recognition or opposition and resistance?

This is not a small issue, and both the England manager and the FA will have to be very cautious in this matter if the English fans inspire opposition.

***********
Of course, many other people are also paying attention to this matter.

Now, the whole of Europe seems to be talking about one thing, Manchester United No. 10 Li Rui may apply for a British passport, and finally be able to represent England in the 2008 European Cup and even the 2010 World Cup.

In this regard, the fastest responders were England's main opponents in the 2008 Euro Cup qualifiers Russia and Croatia. Li Rui is not an unknown person now, he is the hottest star on the planet. Once he gets Li Rui, then England's striker will also be upgraded by more than one level, and even undergo a qualitative change! !
It was the Russian head coach Guus Hiddink who put forward this point of view. In the view of the famous Dutch coach, given the tacit understanding shown by Li Rui and Rooney in the Manchester United team, once the two can become partners in the England team, if Counting Scholes, Carrick, and even Ferdinand, this is the central axis of the Manchester United team, and the degree of tacit understanding can be imagined.

Hiddink was also worried about this, and he didn't think it was a trivial matter.

But now it seems that the concerns of the Russian head coach can be relieved for the time being, because according to the reader survey of the "Sunday Mirror", 70.00% of England fans said that the England team does not need Li Rui, and only one third do not. The England fans who arrived think that England needs Li Rui.

***********
The result of this investigation also surprised Li Rui, and even disappointed him.

Before that, Li Rui took it for granted that if he joined England, the England fans would definitely welcome him with their hands up, and he was short of setting off firecrackers to celebrate. This is not Li Rui boasting, but that he does have the capital now! !
Last season's Premier League Golden Boot, Champions League record-breaking Golden Boot, Europa League Golden Boot, three Golden Boot winners, and the 2006 European Golden Globe No.3, these are all shining military medals.

It's not that Li Rui is conceited, but that he has such self-confidence and such a self, it is impossible for England fans not to like it.

However, at this time, Li Rui seemed to realize his wishful thinking. At least from this survey, most England fans did not buy it. Of course they would not be ignorant of Li Rui, of course they knew Li Rui's strength, but , but they did not welcome Li Rui.

***********
In the eyes of the vast majority of England fans, the England team is strong enough. Well, in fact, every time a big game is held, the English people feel pretty good about themselves.

In their view, the strength of England is definitely the first group to compete for the championship. Every time if the performance is not good, it is definitely because the head coach is too rubbish. Such a good card is played so badly, it is not the reason for the head coach , whose reason is that?

This is the general mentality of England fans. They admire and like Li Rui in the league, but it does not mean they can support Li Rui to join England. This is completely different. However, no one doubts whether England will be able to enter the finals, and even some fans are still wondering whether England's stumbling in the qualifiers means that England is atypically slow, and after the start of the finals , Will it break out all of a sudden and win the championship in the end?

***********
Don't blame England fans for feeling good about themselves. In fact, this is something that the English media have made up. According to media reports, the Premier League is the number one league in the world, and the England team is also one of the world's giants. The first England team is the favorite to win the championship.

In addition to the always arrogant "John Bull" plot, England fans don't think they need Li Rui, an "outsider" to save them, yes, you read that right, it is an "outsider", this is the England fans in the forum That's how Li Rui was called.

This is a harsh word. When Li Rui saw this word for the first time, his eyes seemed to be stabbed by something.

It hurts.

***********
What is not known is that the investigation of the "Sunday Mirror" has also attracted the attention of England coach McClaren and relevant senior officials of the English Football Association.

Unlike England fans who are arrogant and feel good about themselves, McLaren, as the current head of the Three Lions, still has the most say. Although this gentleman's level is really limited, he also understands that the England team really His strength is just that, not as powerful as the media boasted.

In McLaren's view, if Li Rui can join England, Rio Ferdinand in the defense, Carrick and Scholes in the midfield, Li Rui and Rooney in the front line, even reasonable in the midfield. Chadson and even Alan Lennon or Milner are teammates with Li Rui, and they have an excellent tacit understanding, and they can almost bring out the power of this powerful shooter.

However, McLaren knew very well that the England team needed the slogan of Li Rui. It could not be his uncle McLaren who shouted it first, but it should be a "bottom-up" movement. England fans began to think that the team needed Li Rui. Rui, at this time, Uncle McLaren is going to come out and shout "I'M, HERE", and recruit Li Rui into the England team in accordance with public opinion.

But now, judging from the survey conducted by the "Sunday Mirror", England fans don't want to see Li Rui joining, so this also makes McLaren, who is actually red-eyed, helpless and can only shut up obediently. This matter has been kept silent, which is different from Eriksson who said at the time that he hoped to see Li Rui join England and Rooney as a partner. Eriksson was already determined to leave because of the Chiefs, so he would be unscrupulous , You can talk without considering England fans, but he, Mr. McLaren, can't. Now, because of England's poor record, McLaren has been questioned. At this time, he dare not shout out that "England is not strong enough and needs Li Rui's support." 'It's like that.

As for the attitude of the FA?This is a bit similar to McLaren's attitude, except that the FA needs to be more cautious.

***********
The reader survey of the "Sunday Mirror" was not a big deal, but it also made Li Rui realize his childish side. The proud and arrogant English people seemed unwilling to see him come to save them! !
This suddenly aroused Li Rui's competitive spirit, he felt the thoughts in his heart, he was extremely eager for English football to suffer an unparalleled blow, and then he appeared as England's "King Arthur" , He saved English football, he just flirts with it like this, thinking of being happy, Li Rui will even be happy himself first!
To be honest, deep down in Li Rui’s heart, he doesn’t care about life and death in England. He likes football, but that’s all. For example, England is just a platform for Li Rui to realize his football ambitions. On the stage of the World Cup, show yourself to fans all over the world!
prove yourself!

It also proves that the Chinese can play football well. Some people may think this is a big talk, but Li Rui really thinks so! !

On the most splendid stage of the World Cup, have your own strongest stroke! !

This is enough to be proud of! !

However, now it seems that things are not going well!
***********
After the incident came out, Li Rui has not accepted any interviews from anyone, nor has his wife Jessica appeared in public, nor has she accepted any media interviews. Li Rui has remained silent.

And the Manchester United club did not express their position on this topic. Only the head coach Ferguson, when asked about this topic, came up with a sentence-

"If Li gets a British passport? This is a good thing for the club. We don't have to worry about the non-European quota."

And when the players of the England national team were asked this question, they were full of praise for Li Rui who was 'in the league', but when they mentioned the possibility of Li Rui 'joining' England, they all kept silent and did not talk about this topic. Seems like it's a taboo.

Only Little Fatty Rooney even expressed his welcome to Li Rui in a clear-cut manner. In fact, Little Fatty has always been so frank! !

In addition, although the former captain of the England national team and Real Madrid player Beckham is no longer in McLaren's England team, Beckham still expressed his welcome to Li Rui, which also confirmed from one aspect that Michael Jay Fez's report.

Of course, in the eyes of domestic fans, with Li Rui's repeated silence, Beckham's words are undoubtedly ironclad evidence of Li Rui's 'treason'!

As a result, a wave of criticism in the country has also intensified.

Li Rui didn't dare to go to the domestic website at this time, he knew there must be a lot of scolding there.

***********
On March 2007, 3, in a rematch of the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Manchester United VS Middlesbrough away, Li Rui, who was in a whirlpool, came to the Riverside Stadium.

This match was Li Rui's first official match after the news broke that Li Rui might join England.

Before the game started, Middlesbrough fans held up all kinds of banners in the stands of the Riverside Stadium to satirize and ridicule Li Rui, most of which meant that Li Rui was not worthy of the England team, England Never need an outsider to save or something like that.

And in the main stand of the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough, an insulting banner hung there -

"Kneel down, redneck!"

***********
Li Rui was enraged!

When he stepped into the entire stadium, boos from the entire stadium came towards him, and seeing that banner and more banners, Li Rui was completely enraged.

He entered with his fists clenched!
Seeing Li Rui like this, Ferguson on the sidelines was also a little bit drumming in his heart. He made up his mind that if there was any slight sign of something wrong, he would replace Li Rui. This was also Li Rui's protection. You know, it is now We are on the cusp, and obviously, Middlesbrough fans are going to anger Li Rui. Judging from Li Rui's expression, Middlesbrough fans got what they wanted to see! !

***********
After the whistle sounded for the start of the game, as soon as Li Rui touched the ball, the whole stadium would be booed harshly. To be honest, it wasn’t that Middlesbrough fans hated Li Rui so much, it was just that Middlesbrough fans hated Li Rui. They knew that Li Rui was on the cusp and in trouble, and they just wanted to use this opportunity to anger Li Rui!

However, what they did was too much, and it really angered Li Rui, really angered! !
***********
In the 7th minute of the first half, Manchester United's first threatening offensive knocked on the door of Middlesbrough.

Rooney dribbled the ball, and he attracted two Middlesbrough defenders to intercept. Just when Woodgate was about to intercept, Rooney poked the football aside, and Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo looked up at the direction of the goal, and then swung his foot to make a direct shot.Middlesbrough's midfielder Boateng did not dare to neglect, and immediately rushed forward to block.You know, Cristiano Ronaldo has a good long shot.

Seeing that Boateng was really fooled, he jumped up and used his back to block his shot.Cristiano Ronaldo raised the corner of his mouth, smiled smugly, and suddenly passed a through ball!The target is Li Rui's feet.

Li Rui got the ball!

The whole stadium suddenly booed loudly! !
***********
Li Rui received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo at the front of the penalty area. He leaned on Javier who was defending him, and at the same time turned around and hooked the ball into the penalty area. Li Rui's move seemed simple, but it was very clever. , Now that Li Rui is already in the penalty area, the players defending him will never dare to take a foot rashly, because as long as they reach out and touch Li Rui, as long as Li Rui falls to the ground in response, the referee will award a penalty in all likelihood.

The football stuck to Li Rui's feet as if by magic. At this time, Middlesbrough defender Taylor pushed Li Rui behind his back. Li Rui staggered, and the football jumped up. Li Rui's first The second reaction was comparable to that of a rabbit. He lifted his right foot and lobbed it directly! !

At the same time, the football flew over the head of the attacking Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer, and then also drew an exaggerated arc, and then fell, fell, and fell into the middle of the harsh boos of the Middlesbrough fans. into the goal! ! !
***********
"1:0!! The game went to the 20th minute! Manchester United scored! Li Rui scored!! He looked so excited!! It is true that this time is difficult for this young man, surrounded by him There was a lot of debate, but anyway, congratulations on the goal!!"

After scoring the goal, Li Rui waved his arms on the spot, and then shouted loudly towards the sky. His teammates also came up to hug him and celebrate the goal.

However, Li Rui broke away from his teammates who came over to celebrate the goal with him, and he rushed to the main stand of the Riverside Stadium. Unfolded, facing the main stand, slapped a big slap in the face! ! !

"Just wait!! There will always be a time when you kneel down and beg me!!!"

***********
When Ferguson saw Li Rui's goal, the old man waved his arms viciously to the sky, and applauded loudly at the same time. In fact, before this game, Ferguson also considered letting Li Rui take a break. After all, in the past few days There were too many things surrounding Li Rui. He was afraid of affecting Li Rui's state. It was Li Rui who specifically found Ferguson and asked to play in this game.

"Boss, I ask to play, I will score." This is what Li Rui said to Ferguson.But now, just after the start of the first half, Li Rui scored a goal. Amidst the wild boos of the Riverside Stadium, Li Rui's celebration after scoring was so arrogant, so wanton, and so unyielding.

After taking the lead, Manchester United will play better, there is no doubt about it.Ferguson was also in a good mood, and the Scottish old man slumped back to the coach's bench.

"Now let's see how Manchester United plan this game, how Ferguson thinks about this game. If Manchester United just need a victory to ensure that they can enter the FA Cup semi-final, then the score of 1:0 is completely fine. It is acceptable and Manchester United can also pay attention to possession in the rest of the game." Lineker said.

"I don't think so, Gary." Taibi retorted, "The game has just begun, Manchester United will not be satisfied with a score of 1:0." When Taibi said this, his eyes were on Li Rui, Rather than saying that Manchester United will not be satisfied with a score of 1:0, it is better to say that Li Rui will not stop like this.

Taibi is not only a gold medal commentator of Sky TV, but also a column critic. He once analyzed Manchester United No. 10. In Taibi's view, the angry Li Rui is like an enraged great white shark, the scariest man on the planet shooter! !
However, it is obvious that the battle and behavior of Middlesbrough fans at the Riverside Stadium today angered Li Rui.

***********
Even the commentator could see that Li Rui was in a good state today, and that a single goal could not satisfy Li Rui. Of course, Middlesbrough's head coach Southgate would not fail to see it.

In the 31st minute of the game, Li Rui successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt. He first passed Boateng who came up to defend with a beautiful technique, and then passed Javier under the harsh boos of the riverside stadium. A powerful shot in front of the penalty area. After the football was thrown by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer, it bounced to the back point. Scholes hooked the football back to the penalty area with an upside-down golden hook. Rooney The header was ferried, and Li Rui headed again, which went slightly wide.

Seeing Li Rui making threats one after another, Southgate couldn't sit still any longer. He got up from the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines, called his name, and blew two hasty whistles.
Hearing the whistle, Middlesbrough's midfielder George Boateng in this game.Turning his head to the sidelines, he heard the head coach calling his name.

Southgate pointed to George Boateng to Li Rui who was wiping the sweat off his forehead with his jersey. Boateng nodded. He understood what the coach meant, and the coach told him to keep an eye on Li Rui.

Generally speaking, as the team's defensive midfielder, they will not specifically focus on a certain player. However, in this game, Southgate also had to adopt this tactic because Li Rui's desire to attack was too strong. .

Seeing George Boateng nodding, Southgate returned to the coaching bench. For Boateng, Southgate still trusts him. Last summer, he was the team captain and the main central defender at the time. When Southgate replaced McLaren, who was the England coach, as Middlesbrough's coach, Southgate appointed Boateng as the team's new captain's successor.

Therefore, Southgate is quite at ease with George Boateng.

***********
However, just before Southgate took this 'relief' into his heart, Middlesbrough conceded the ball again.

Middlesbrough midfielder Parnaby wanted to play against Downing. After being shoveled by Evra, the football hit Downing's calf and went out of the touchline. Manchester United's sideline kick.

Brown quickly throws the ball out of bounds, and after receiving the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles the ball on the right, which attracts the attention of the Middlesbrough players. At this time, there is no one around Scholes to mark! !
Cristiano Ronaldo grasped this opportunity keenly. He divided the ball in time without any hesitation. At Li Rui's feet, Li Rui immediately sent a scalpel-like pass. Rooney suddenly scored the ball forward. The little fat man looked in the direction of the goal and kicked a low shot. Middles Fort goalkeeper Schwarzer failed to make a save, and the football flew into Middlesbrough's goal for the second time! ! !

The entire riverside stadium was silent for about a second before boos broke out, because when the chubby Rooney was celebrating the goal, Li Rui was more excited than Rooney who scored the goal. He rushed to the visiting team In the stands of the team, facing the Manchester United fans, Li Rui stretched out two fingers, then put the fingers in with his left hand, and shook his fist heavily. This aroused the unstoppable madness of the Manchester United fans. The stands roared loudly.

What is he venting about! !

The boos at the Riverside Stadium got even crazier! !
***********
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAL!!!!!!"

"A_wonderfully_GOaaal!" the commentator yelled, "2:0!! Manchester United extended their lead again! 2:0!! The tickets for the FA Cup semi-final are almost going to be printed with Manchester United's name!"

Two goals behind, the game lasted only 2 minutes, which made the Middlesbrough players who were playing at home briefly absent-minded. After all, at Old Trafford, Middlesbrough drew 2:[-]. After leaving Manchester United, Middlesbrough returned to the home court aggressively with the dream of eliminating Manchester United and making history. Unexpectedly, the game only lasted for a little more than half an hour, and this dream was shattered by the cruel reality. .

Southgate yelled at the Middlesbrough players on the sidelines, cheering for the players. Although they were 0:2 behind, after all, there is still a lot of time, and Middlesbrough is not hopeless.

When Li Rui scored Manchester United's first goal, Ferguson was extremely excited. The Scottish old man waved his right arm towards the sky. This time, Rooney extended the score to two goals, but the old Manchester United coach did not appear so excited. Yes, Ferguson sat on the coach's bench and applauded. Manchester United's certainty, Ferguson knew that Manchester United would win this game!

***********
At the end of the first half, the electronic scoreboard at the Riverside Stadium——

The score of Middlesbrough 0:2 Manchester United has not changed. However, the score does not explain everything. After leading 2:0, Manchester United has no intention of slowing down the attack, especially Li Rui is more like an endlessly hungry Like a wolf, although every time he touches the ball, it will arouse huge boos from Middlesbrough fans, but Li Rui is unmoved, and he is extremely active. Almost every touch can make Middlesbrough There was a gust of panic in the defense line behind the fort.

At the end of the entire first half, the Middlesbrough team actually only had 3 shots, of which [-] shots were the data before Li Rui scored.

It can be said that, judging from the score and process of the first half, the Middlesbrough people have no chance to perform a miracle at all, even if it is God, it is impossible for him to come forward.

***********
The intermission is over and the players are about to return to the pitch. Middlesbrough coach Southgate called George Boateng to his side. He didn't say much. Southgate lowered his voice and only had one sentence: " I don't care what method you use, George. I want you to keep an eye on Li Rui, our restricted area is not his back garden!! Remember, keep an eye on him! If possible - I don't care what method you use!"

George Boateng looked up at his captain and teammates from last season, and now the head coach of the team, and nodded heavily, expressing his understanding.

However, neither Southgate nor George Boateng thought that the second half of the game had just begun, and it was actually over. There is no need to use tactics at all! ! !
***********
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!! Li Rui! Li Rui!! The second half kicked off in just 21 seconds!! Li Rui scored Middlesbrough's goal!! What about the people of Delsberg!!"

"3:0!! Li Rui scored twice!! His performance made the booing at the Riverside Stadium unbearable. I bet that Li Rui will be the most unpopular person in this stadium. Of course, I believe that Li Rui must also have a lack of affection for this stadium!"

The commentator's words are not correct. In fact, Li Rui still likes the Riverside Stadium very much. What could be better than someone mocking you, scolding you, or insulting you, and you slapped the opponent hard What's more enjoyable? ! !
Li Rui is enjoying this feeling very much now!He wasn't even satisfied with scoring two goals!He would love to score more goals if possible! !
Let's first take a look at how Li Rui's goal came about just after the start of the second half. In fact, Li Rui's goal needs to be thanked most by Little Fatty Rooney——

***********
After the start of the second half, Middlesbrough kicked off the ball. When the whistle sounded at the start of the game, Manchester United formed a press in the frontcourt. The Middlesbrough players could only pass the football back continuously, while Li Rui and Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo fired three arrows at once, and stepped forward to rob without hesitation.

In the end, Middlesbrough central defender Taylor made a mistake, and the strength of the return pass was a bit weak. Rooney rushed up to grab the ball desperately. The little fat man grabbed the ball before Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzel made a tackle. With a shovel to the left, Li Rui didn't stop the ball, and just lobbed an empty goal. There was no suspense, the ball scored!

The Middlesbrough players looked at the Manchester United players who were celebrating a goal in a daze, and at Li Rui who was waving his fists wildly. Some people lowered their heads and looked at the ground, and some looked at the sky with their hands on their hips——

The second half of the game has just started, and this - this is a goal?The Middlesbrough players have not yet reacted. During the intermission, Middlesbrough coach Southgate encouraged the players to try to score as soon as possible in the second half of the game to narrow the score gap. Middlesbrough still There is hope, but now, less than half a minute after the start of the second half, the goal appeared, and it was Manchester United who scored the goal! !
It is conceivable how much this has hit the Middlesbrough players.

Captain George Boateng had to shout and clap his hands to cheer up his teammates, but that seemed to have little effect.

The time for Manchester United to celebrate this goal was seriously overdone, so that the referee had to intervene, and the Manchester United players ended their celebration and returned to their own half.

***********
最终，这场足总杯四分之一决赛，曼联队在河畔球场客场5:0大胜米德尔斯堡，以总比分7:2的悬殊比分晋级2006-2007英格兰足总杯的半决赛。

Li Rui was replaced by Cassano in the 51st minute of the second half. When he left the field, he received the most craziest boos from the entire riverside stadium, and the camera followed Li Rui all the time. You can even catch the smile on the corner of Li Rui's mouth, and this is undoubtedly the biggest stimulus for Middlesbrough fans. After this game, Li Rui and Middlesbrough fans became a real dead end, looking at each other not pleasing to the eye .

It is worth mentioning that Cassano played as a substitute for Li Rui. Sano's state in the game, I believe the happiest thing is the Manchester United coach Ferguson on the sidelines.

In the last round of the FA Cup match against Middlesbrough, Cassano's appearance as a substitute can be said to be the sinner of Manchester United being tied by Middlesbrough and having to choose another day for a rematch. However, today's game , the opponent is still Middlesbrough, Cassano showed a completely different state, it seems that the real return of the Italian striker after six months of serious injuries.

***********
After the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Middlesbrough, the Premier League will also be suspended for two weeks to enter the national team match day.

At this time, the English media were making noise, or joking, asking when Li Rui would put on the Three Lions jersey, but in fact, Li Rui did not apply for an English passport at this time.

However, at this time, the well-known reporter Michael Jeffers of the "Sunday Mirror" seriously analyzed England's upcoming 2008 European Cup qualifiers. Mr. Si bluntly said, "In the away game against Israel, McLaren's England team will once again fall into the embarrassment of 'not scoring'..."

In this report by Michael Jeffers, one can smell the distrust of England's offensive ability, and this also makes many England fans angry, thinking that Michael Jeffers is completely alarmist.

And many English media couldn't help but sneer at Michael Jeffers' views.

***********
And on March 2007, 3, after Israel's home game against England, everyone was shocked, because Michael Jeffers' prediction for the game between England and Israel was confirmed,

The England team originally refused to go to Tel Aviv for fear of their personal safety. However, after the Israeli side patted their chests to ensure the safety of England's big-name internationals, the England team arrived in Israel to prepare for the 2008 European Cup qualifier against Israel. .

Israel 0:0 England!
Throughout the game, the England team shot as many as 16 times, but there was no goal. The Israeli team even took advantage of England's mistakes and almost scored a goal at the end of the game.

After this campaign, England ranked third in the group standings with a difference of 5 points, behind Croatia and Russia.

***********
"When the referee Fabian blew the whistle for the end of the game, I believe everyone was unwilling to believe their eyes. The mighty England was tied by the Israelis. This is simply a great deal for the England team. irony."

And at this time, Michael Jeffers, a rookie reporter from the "Sunday Mirror", who is right, the guy who suddenly revealed that Li Rui might join the Three Lions, also stood up again, expressing his offensive ability against England of great mistrust.In words, he repeatedly praised Manchester United's No. 10.

Naturally, Li Rui has not 'joined' the England team, and he has been permanently expelled by the Chinese Football Association long ago. Therefore, the national team match day is undoubtedly a new physical and state test for most teammates in the intensive league. , and Li Rui used this rare vacation to accompany Jessica. It is said that pregnant women may be emotionally unstable, and Li Rui also happened to accompany his wife well.

As for the hype and noise from the media, Li Rui just plugged the earmuffs around his ears and ignored them at all.

***********
Three days later, on March 2007, 3, England beat Andorra 29-3.

Throughout the first half, England's offense did not improve much. The powerful England was no match for a small country like Andorra. The goal came late in the 54th minute. Lennon made a cross from the right and Ashley Cole returned. At the top, Tang Ning picked the ball to the middle, and Gerrard followed up with a volley and scored, 1-0.

After the goal, the Liverpool captain was so excited that he jumped on the billboard to celebrate the goal and almost slipped and fell to the ground.

In the 76th minute, Gerrard took the ball in the middle and played two-on-one with Downing and Jermain Defoe, then entered the penalty area, wiped the left side of the defender's penalty area and pushed with a small foot, 2-0.

In stoppage time, Gerrard made a diagonal pass to Defoe. The latter stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and was blocked by the goalkeeper. Nugent made a supplementary shot and it was easy 3-0.

After the game, although England is still No.3 in the ranking group, England fans are very happy with the great 'attack ability' shown by the England team in this game. At this time, naturally no one will mention Li Rui's Name up.

In the eyes of many England fans, England is still so strong...

PS: After getting off the train, I coded non-stop, and finally finished this chapter.

It’s been released on a regular basis for the past few days. I don’t have time to read the book review section when I’m away from home. However, I watched it today and it’s a bit lively. Let’s talk to everyone about whether Li Rui will play for England. You can discuss it in the book review area , However, I hope that everyone's discussion will be a discussion and try to be as civilized as possible. After all, everyone is a fan, and the mood is understandable.

(End of this chapter)
