Chapter 536 Reaching the Finals! (8th update today!)

Manchester United vs Liverpool Champions League semi-final second leg.

In this game, Benitez played the strongest lineup that could be played. As for Manchester United, although they beat Liverpool 4-1 in the first leg away, Ferguson still dare not be careless. He sent in addition to Li Rui All the main players, Li Rui did not start this game in the end, but sat on the bench.

Ferguson still did not dare to take the risk of letting Li Rui play. As long as Manchester United can advance, Li Rui will stay on the bench and will not play.

Liverpool played very hard in this game. Whether it was Gerrard, Torres, or Dirk, or Alonso, they all worked very hard. However, this game itself is asymmetrical. This does not mean that there is a gap in strength between the two sides. , but in this game, the psychology of the two sides is not on the same level.

***********
The score of 4:1 in the away game in the first round gave Manchester United a huge psychological advantage. They are still very confident in the team's promotion.

But the Liverpool players couldn't do it. The 1:4 home defeat and the need for a goal difference of more than 4 goals in this game put too much pressure on the Liverpool players. Under the pressure, the players could not perform well on the field. The level that should be there, under the ebb and flow, Manchester United showed the domineering and strength of the defending champion.

The final score of this game was 1:0. Manchester United defeated Liverpool at home even without Li Rui, eliminated Liverpool with a disparity of 5:1 in the two rounds, and won the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Premier League Derby victory in the final.

In this way, Manchester United has entered the final of the Champions League to be held in Moscow on May 5. In fact, the result of Manchester United's advancement to the final was already known after Manchester United's 22:4 away game against Liverpool at Anfield in the first round. Everyone knows it well.

However, I didn't expect that in the absence of Li Rui, Manchester United still defeated Liverpool 2:1, double-killing their opponents and advancing to the final.

***********
After Manchester United eliminated Liverpool, the Manchester media cheered with the headline "Goodbye, Benitez!"

This not only means that Liverpool bid farewell to this season's Champions League and lost the chance to win the only championship, but also has another meaning. Although Benitez's seasons in Liverpool have not been very successful, but However, Benitez has many favorites among the European giants. Mr. Moratti, the chairman of Inter Milan, intends to ask Benitez to coach the Nerazzurri.

In Serie A, Inter Milan is thriving and has no domestic rivals. However, in the European arena, the Nerazzurri are still not doing well. This also makes Moratti very dissatisfied with Inter Milan coach Mancini and plans to replace him handsome instead.

Originally, the ideal candidate for the new coach in Moratti's heart was Mourinho, but the 'madman' has already taken charge of the Three Lions coaching seal, which makes Moratti very regretful.

***********
Li Rui did not play in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Liverpool. However, he must participate in the 37th round of the league, which is also the penultimate round of the league.

In this game, Li Rui took the initiative to ask Ferguson to play, and after the Manchester United team doctor Jeffs checked Li Rui's body and confirmed that there was no problem, Ferguson nodded in agreement.

The reason why Li Rui is so eager to play is because he scored 24 goals in the league, ranking second in the scorer list. The top scorer list is Drogba's 2 goals, and Torres also scored 26 goals. After Li Rui, there is still a theoretical possibility of competing for the Premier League Golden Boot.

However, don't forget that Li Rui once promised to score 30 goals in the league this season, and won the Golden Boot in the scorer list for three consecutive seasons.

Now, there are still two rounds left in the league. If Li Rui wants to fulfill his promise, he must score 7 goals in the remaining two rounds of the league.

***********
"2 goals in 7 games? Sorry, it's not April Fool's Day."

Wallace, the "Sun" columnist who bet with Li Rui, is getting excited now, and it's not just him who starts jumping up and down on the "Sun"; almost everyone doesn't think that Li Rui can compete in these two games. Scored 7 goals.

With Manchester United guaranteed to enter the Champions League final and the Premier League title basically confirmed to be Arsenal, can Li Rui score 7 goals in the remaining two rounds of the league to achieve the highest number of goals scored this season? The promise of reaching 30 goals suddenly became the most eye-catching topic in the final stage of the Premier League.

***********
On May 2008, 5, at Old Trafford, in the 3th round of the league, Manchester United VS West Ham at home. In this game, Ferguson finally arranged for Li Rui to start.

Originally, in this game, Ferguson would only let Li Rui come off the bench. However, Li Rui also found Ferguson. After a long time, even Ferguson was moved by his "big ambition", and finally agreed to let Li Rui start. play.

Of course, this is also because Manchester United has entered the final of the Champions League. Although there are still two rounds left in the league, Manchester United has only one game left this season, and that is the Champions League final on May 5. Therefore, Ferguson will allow Li Rui to play the game after he has just recovered from injury, in order to maintain his state.

***********
And Li Rui's teammates also said before the game that in the remaining two games, they will assist Li Rui as much as possible to ensure that he becomes the top scorer and help Li Rui realize his promise of 30 goals as much as possible!

Fatty Rooney even patted his chest and said that he would help Li Rui, and Li Rui just had to wait in front of the goal to shoot the empty goal.When the guy said this, he seemed to think he was Superman.Li Rui looked at him and really wanted to kick his ass.

***********
West Ham United were very angry at the statement made by the Manchester United players. West Ham United's top scorer Ashton said angrily, "If the Manchester United people regard this game as an 'exhibition match', it would be a big mistake.

In any case, Manchester United has already missed the league championship, but the last two rounds of the league have attracted a lot of attention.

Although not many people believe that Li Rui will score 7 goals in two games, everyone is paying attention to this matter. Even Sky TV has decided to broadcast the last two rounds of Manchester United this season to the whole of Europe.

***********
In this game against West Ham United, Manchester United did not play easily. West Ham United has not completely succeeded in relegation. Therefore, although this game is an away game, the opponent is still Manchester United. Manchester United's goal once launched a siege.

Especially at the beginning of the game, the Manchester United players even regarded this game as an 'exhibition match'. Facing the desperate offensive of the West Ham United players, they were in a mess for a while. If it wasn't for Van der Sar's outstanding performance, Ashton's header almost broke Manchester United's goal.

When the Manchester United team was passive, the camera on the scene was also aimed at Li Rui. On the one hand, it was because Li Rui was the reason why this game attracted so much attention, and because, no matter what, as the team's top scorer , even when the team was passive, Li Rui was obliged to stand up!
***********
After all, the Manchester United team is far stronger than West Ham United. After bearing the impact at the beginning of the game, they gradually stabilized their position.

Carrick held the ball in midfield and Li Rui ran out of space.

Carrick immediately noticed Li Rui's running position, and an accurate through pass was passed to Li Rui's feet.

West Ham player Nobel has been following Li Rui. Li Rui stretched out his hand to block Nobel's attack. He didn't stretch out his foot to stop the ball, but missed the ball beautifully. The ball rolled forward quickly. Remember the clean catch and miss!
Then he turned around and strode to catch up with the football, looked in the direction of the goal, and shot directly from a long distance.

West Ham goalkeeper Green, despite his best saves, was unable to stop the ball from entering the net.

***********
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！”看到球进了，天空电视台的解说员泰比早就站了起来，吼出一个长长的‘GOAL’，“24个！24个！这是他本场比赛的第一粒进球！现在距离30球还差6球！6球！你相信他会打入30球吗？！还差6球！！”

After scoring the goal, Li Rui rushed to the sidelines and made a '6' gesture to the stands, indicating that he was 30 goals away from the goal of 6 goals! !

1: 0!

In the 22nd minute of the game, Li Rui's goal helped Manchester United 1-0 West Ham United.

***********
After Li Rui's goal, it seemed that a layer of window paper had been pierced. Only 6 minutes later, the entire Old Trafford stadium fell into a climax again.

"GOOOOOOAAAAL!!!!!! Li Rui scored his second goal in this game! This is his 2th goal of the season!! In the 25th minute of the game, Li Rui was outside the penalty area , with a wonderful lob shot that knocked off Green's handle! He is now only 29 goals away from the goal of (30 goals)!! Haha, at least, now I kind of believe that this kid can do (5 goals) )! Let that Mr. Wallace hurry!!"

Tabby took a sip of water and roared excitedly, this lob is really wonderful!

Li Rui rushed to the sidelines, stretched out his left palm, facing the sky, and then chopped down with his right hand horizontally, which meant that there were only 5 balls left, and he would definitely be able to do it! !

On the court, in the penalty area!This is his territory!

The moment Li Rui scored a goal, he felt that he was the center of the entire field and the protagonist of the entire stage.
