Chapter 881 The battle cloud is dense!

Seeing what Li Rui wanted to say, Mourinho said seriously, "If your situation is okay, of course I will give you the chance to play as a substitute, otherwise, I will not take the risk."

Mourinho did not dare to take risks. In the [-] World Cup in Germany, Irving played with an injury and was carried off on a stretcher after only ten minutes of starting. Not only did he bid farewell to the World Cup, but also his state plummeted after he recovered .

Although Li Rui is not in a good mood, he also knows that the head coach's caution is for his own good.

At this time, the director of the hospital, Edward, who accompanied Li Rui during the examination.Zhang asked for a group photo with Li Rui and Mourinho. Mourinho had no objection to this request. After all, the hospital was helping the England team. Li Rui naturally agreed. Local Chinese in South Africa, compatriots.

***********
When the three people came out of the hospital and were about to get in the car to leave, they were startled by the scene before them:
At least close to a hundred reporters crowded the entrance of the hospital, with long guns and short cannons mounted there, facing the exit of the hospital, and the security guards of the hospital, as well as the police who came nearby, were trying their best to maintain order at the scene. Trying to stop it, it is estimated that the raging crowd will rush in.

Mourinho turned his head to look at the director of the hospital, Edward.Zhang, the latter quickly explained that the hospital did not leak the news, and Mourinho didn't mean to blame the hospital, he knew that these paparazzi might keep watching his business.

"Li." Mourinho whispered to Li Rui, "Don't accept any interviews, don't speak."

Li Rui nodded, because he might not be able to start the game against the German team. He is in a bad mood now, and he didn't plan to talk to these media reporters.

***********
Sure enough, when they saw Mourinho, Li Rui and others coming out of the hospital, the reporters no longer ignored the obstruction of the security guards and the police.Like waves coming up.They threw their own questions and microphones to Mourinho, Li Rui and others.

"Excuse me, why did you come to the hospital? So, is it true that Li Rui was injured?"

"Mr. Li Rui, can you play against the German team?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Mourinho. Was Li Rui injured because he was fouled in the match against Slovenia?"

"Sir, can you tell me what the test result is?"

"Mr. Levin, is Li Rui's injury serious?"

"Can you catch up with the German team?"

*************
Seeing Mourinho, Li Rui and the team doctor Gary Levin come out, the security guards quickly surrounded them and escorted them to their cars.

Some of the microphones even hit Li Rui and the others on their heads, and Li Rui had to raise his hands to cover his head. He looked like a criminal who was full of crimes, fleeing in a hurry.

A reporter from the "Guardian" rushed forward regardless of the others, and put the microphone to Li Rui's mouth, "Li Rui, will you be able to play the game against Germany? Can you talk about it? Everyone is very concerned."

Li Rui moved his mouth, wanting to say something. At this time, Mourinho said first, "As for whether Li Rui will be able to play in Hebei, we will know by looking at the starting lineup."

Several people squeezed to the side of the car with great difficulty. After the three of them got into the car with great effort, the security guard quickly closed the car door forcefully.

*************
After getting into the car, team doctor Gary Levine said to Mourinho worriedly, "Jose, I'm worried that the media will hype up Li Rui's injury. It will affect the team."

Mourinho rubbed his temples, and suddenly he laughed first, "Let them hype, are there any Germans among those reporters?"

Li Rui has been a little silent since he got in the car. For a player, when the team needs him most, in a peak duel, he may only be able to sit on the sidelines, which is simply a great torture.

Mourinho also knew what Li Rui was thinking. He patted Li Rui on the shoulder and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he said to the driver, "Let's go."

The driver nodded, started the car, drove slowly out of the crowd, and then sped away.

Li Rui turned his head and looked back, seeing the crowd gradually going away, but felt that he seemed to be staying away from the war with Germany just like that.

***********
Just when Mourinho and Li Rui returned to the Royal Banfokeng Garden, the latest news was quickly sent out on the websites of major media——South African time, on the morning of June [-], the world's number one star Li Sharp in the head coach Mourinho, England's chief team doctor Gary.Accompanied by Levin, they went to the Longteng Hospital of the local Chinese community in Johannesburg for an examination. Neither Mourinho nor Li Rui accepted any media interviews, but it was obvious that this was a further examination of Li Rui's injury. of.

Considering that tomorrow is the one-eighth match between England and Germany, Li Rui is going to check his injuries at this time. The time is urgent and the situation is not optimistic.

for a while. Rumors of "Li Rui will miss the game against Germany" and even "Even if England eliminates Germany, Li Rui will also be absent for the next quarter of the game" spread all of a sudden.

***********
In order to prevent the English players from being affected by the media hype, Mourinho gathered all the players together for a meeting after returning to the Royal Banfocken Garden where he was stationed, and told them the actual situation of Li Rui's injury.This is also to stabilize the morale of the army.

"In tomorrow's game against Germany, Li Rui will not be able to start the game. He will be with us on the bench."

Hearing what Mourinho said, the players in England were surprised at first, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was bad news that Li Rui was not able to start the game, it seemed that it hurt to be able to be on the bench. It's not a big problem, so everyone can rest assured.

Defoe was overjoyed. Li Rui couldn't start the game, so does that mean he can get the chance to start?
***********
Sure enough, Mourinho went on to say, "I hope everyone will not be affected by this incident, and prepare for the game against the German team with peace of mind... Jermaine, you must be ready to start." He looked at Di blessing.

"Okay, boss." Defoe suppressed his excitement. It's not that he was so happy about Li Rui's injury, but this kind of emotion is also natural. After all, being able to start in the World Cup, especially for the For the England team, it is absolutely fantastic to be able to start the game against the feud Germany.

"Okay, let's play with peace of mind, work harder, and win Germany, otherwise, Li Rui will say, without him, you can't do it." Mourinho joked.

Everyone else laughed, they all knew that the boss was joking, but everyone had this kind of thought in their hearts. Due to Li Rui's outstanding performance, his halo was so strong that the media talked about England's victory , the first thing that comes to mind is because of Li Rui's contribution. Although this is not enough to dissatisfy others, there is still a slight imbalance in my heart. Now, the sunset is injured and cannot start. Facing the arch enemy Germany, this is the other People secretly vowed to prove the opportunity, they want to prove to everyone that without Li Rui, England can still win, and they can win the German team!

***********
Mourinho informed England of Li Rui's situation, but the media and fans didn't know, especially the media, who made this matter very serious. There were even rumors that Li Rui might not even qualify for the World Cup. The game is over, and the England team officials have not come out to refute the rumors. Now, the rumors are getting more and more evil. . .

The England fans were suddenly panicked, they were worried about Li Rui's situation.

During the training that afternoon, no less than [-] media came outside the training ground in England. They all wanted to know about Li Rui's situation and hoped to get the latest news.

Everyone saw that Li Rui did not participate in the England team's team training session, but was training with the ball on the sidelines with another injured veteran, Heskey.

***********
The cameras were all staring at Li Rui. They saw Li Rui stopping the ball, passing the ball, and even a juggling rainbow pick.

This reassures the English reporters on the sidelines. Although they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, they still want England to go further. This is because they are also fans regardless of their identity as reporters. In addition, England The better their grades and the more attention they receive, the more they earn.

England's public training time is only 15 minutes, and the [-]-minute time is coming soon. Mourinho asked the security guards to start expulsing the reporters from the sidelines.Of course, the reporters were a little bit reconciled. They waited on the sidelines, but apart from photographing Li Rui's training with the ball, no one was interviewed. How could they go back and make up for those few minutes of training?
***********
"Mr. Mourinho, we want to know how Li Rui's situation is?" someone shouted.

"Of course I know you want to know, but I don't want to say anything. Everything became clear at the beginning of the game." Mourinho said with a straight face.

Hearing such a 'rogue' statement from him, the reporters all seemed extremely indignant.

"We have the right to know the truth! Fans need the truth!" Some reporters protested dissatisfiedly, and even raised the righteousness of the fans to wave the flag.

"I have the right to refuse to answer questions." Mourinho responded. "Get them all out!" he yelled at the security guard.So the security guards were no longer polite.Pushing and dragging the reporters out of the gate of the training ground.

The reporters were kicked out reluctantly. They naturally resented Mourinho. The war between Mourinho and the reporters had already begun when Chelsea was at Chelsea. Love and hate, hate is of course because this person is extremely difficult, of course love is because there is absolutely no shortage of news materials where there are "madmen". It was once said that there are three newsmakers in the England team, one is the head coach Mu For Rinho, one is the captain Beckham, and the other is naturally the team's number one star Li Rui.

***********
On the sidelines of the training field, there are not only the English media, but also the Italian media, the Spanish media, the Argentine media, and of course the German media.

Naturally, the German media are most concerned about whether Li Rui can play against the German team besides the English. Of course they know how important Li Rui is to the England team. It can be said that the German media and fans also generally admit that when they meet England Well, Li Rui is the only thing they are afraid of. Without Li Rui, they would not worry about the match with England.

So, now, it is very important to confirm that Li Rui can play in tomorrow's one-eighth match.

At this moment, the German media are speculating about various possibilities. First of all, they are wondering if there is some conspiracy behind England coach Mourinho's nervous refusal to be filmed and interviewed by the media?Was Li Rui's visit to the hospital a real examination, or was it a smoke bomb?Was Li Rui really injured?
What the Germans were worried about was that they thought that Li Rui was injured and missed tomorrow's game, but they were caught off guard when they saw Li Rui starting the game at the last moment.

You know, it's the World Cup knockout round now, and there are all kinds of wits and courage, and there are all kinds of tricks. This kind of smoke bomb has to be guarded against. Before that time, people all over the world will be deceived by Mourinho's blindfold. . . .

***********
The entire England team kept news silent and were unwilling to accept interviews from the media.

As for the German team, from the head coach Loew to the players, as well as the big bosses of the chairman of the German Football Association, they all stood up and expressed their great confidence in defeating England.

The head coach of the German team Loew said: "Although England is very strong, I am looking forward to the match against England. Whether (Li Rui) can play or not, I always believe that Germany will advance in the end!"

Zwanziger, chairman of the German Football Association, also said: "Germany has never been eliminated in the group stage. However, in the knockout round we will face such a strong opponent as England. I feel a lot of pressure. The appearance of the German team can be described as There were many twists and turns, and we lost to Serbia. I think our players have lost some confidence. Although we drew with Ghana and qualified, I think it is not a very strong team. We need to perform better. Now, there is nothing like Beating England would be a better morale boost."

Germany's rising star Ozil, who scored an equalizer goal against Ghana in the group stage, said: "I am looking forward to playing against England. They are a very strong team." He also said: "Li Rui is a great team. The most outstanding star in football today, he is very powerful, I don't know, whether he can play in the game... However, I think things like Maradona who beat a team by one person are history It's..."

***********
The Germans expressed the momentum of victory there, and the German media also showed aggressiveness. The England team as a whole was relatively silent. At this time, the English media called it the main force against Germany.

"Guardian": If, what we are talking about is if, if Li Rui really can't play, we don't have to worry too much. With David (Beckham), Steve (Gerrard), and Wei Wei Well (Rooney), with Frank (Lampard), we are not afraid of Germany.

Although the words of the "Guardian" were to cheer up the England fans, they seemed to lack confidence. They said 'not afraid of Germany', but did not say 'must win'.

At this time, the eighth matches of the [-] World Cup in South Africa have come out, according to the order of the game time:

Uruguay VS South Korea;
USA VS Ghana;

England VS Germany;
Argentina VS Mexico;

Netherlands VS Slovakia;

Brazil VS Chile;

Paraguay VS Japan;
Spain VS Portugal;

***********
Although among the eight matchups, Spain VS Portugal is also a focus matchup, but between Spain and Portugal, there is no precipitation of the historical origin of the war between England and Germany.

Therefore, the "Times" even stated that the attention of the other seven games, combined, cannot be compared with the Anglo-German war. The "Times" also listed seven legends in the history of the Anglo-German war:
No. [-]: Hurst - [-]: England [-]-[-] before West Germany;

This game is the most talked about by England fans, because it is with the victory of this game that the England team won the World Cup championship, and it is also the only World Cup championship so far.In this game, England star Hurst left fans and friends with indelible memories.Because Hurst scored a hat-trick in that game, and this is the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.More importantly, Hurst scored one of the most controversial goals in the history of the World Cup. Until now, whether Hurst scored or not scored is an unsolved mystery.

No. [-]: Li Rui - [-]: England [-] to [-] Germany;
This is the premiere of Li Rui's campaign for the crown. In the [-] European Cup, Li Rui was the biggest contributor to England's championship. Especially in the final, he performed a hat-trick, almost single-handedly leading England beat Germany and won the Delaunay Cup for the first time in history.

No. [-]: Banks - [-]: England [-]-[-] before West Germany;

英格兰队以卫冕冠军的身份出征此次世界杯，但英格兰在2比0领先的情况下被前西德队通过加时赛以3比2逆转。而那场比赛也诞生了世界杯上的又一个悬案。在这场对阵德国队的1/4决赛比赛前英格兰门神班克斯遭遇神秘病毒，上吐下泻不能出场，这也为英格兰队的淘汰埋下了伏笔。

No. [-]: Beckenbauer - [-]: England [-] to [-] before West Germany;
In this battle between Britain and Germany, not only Banks, who was bizarrely infected with the virus, was a focus, but Germany's "football emperor" Beckenbauer was also the focus. The goals of Alan Murray and Martin Peters made the English 2 It took the lead to 0, but Beckenbauer helped the German team complete the reversal almost by himself.

***********
No. [-]: Gascoigne - [-]: England [-] to [-] before West Germany;

In the Italian summer of 1990, when it comes to this game, people can't help but think of Gascoigne's tears.England played their best game since the 1966 World Cup, and they once again reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.Lineker's goal was impressive, but the penalty shoot-out after the two sides tied 120-1 after 1 minutes, the England team returned home bitterly.After the England team was eliminated, Gascoigne, the green green drunk man, left tears that moved the world and became a classic picture in the history of the World Cup.

No. [-]: Owen - [-]: England [-] to [-] Germany;
It was England's best performance against Germany since 1966.The focus of this game is Michael Owen, because Owen performed a hat-trick, which was recorded in the history of the British-German war.Owen also had a great harvest this year and won the title of European Footballer of the Year.And this battle between Britain and Germany is definitely a classic game that can be recorded in history.

No. [-]: Beckham - [-]: England [-] to [-] Germany;
In this classic battle, Irving, who scored a hat-trick, is a name that cannot be forgotten.And Beckham's performance in this game was even more amazing, he participated in almost 5 goals, and after the game, the media even said that Beckham directed England's historic game Big win.After that, Beckham also staged a magical goal against Greece.

Finally, "The Times" cheers for the England team. Even if Li Rui is unable to play in the game against Germany due to injury, they still have captain Beckham, as long as the captain plays at half the level of the classic game in [-] , Winning Germany is not cutting melons and vegetables? !

***********
At [-]:[-] pm on June [-], the first match of the World Cup knockout round in South Africa was played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth between Uruguay and South Korea.

The entire England team did not watch the live broadcast of the game. They watched the video of the game after dinner. The video of the game had been worked overtime by the coaching staff for several hours, and they did not even have dinner. Edited pass.

Uruguay took the lead in the [-]th minute!Cavani cut from the right to the left. Fran dunked Kim Jong-woo and crossed the open area behind the South Korean defense. Goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong hesitated to reach the ball. A small angle shot into the net, Uruguay [-]-[-] South Korea!

The second knockout game came that night. The Ghana team defeated the US team [-]:[-] and became the second team to enter the quarterfinals.

After that, the one-eighth game to be played is the battle between Britain and Germany!

***********
The pace of the war between Britain and Germany is getting closer and closer.Finally came the day of the game.

The game kicked off at [-]:[-] pm on June [-], local time in South Africa.However, four hours before the game, that is, around [-] noon, fans from both sides had already gathered outside the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, waiting to enter.

The winter sunshine in South Africa is good. At noon, the temperature is close to [-] degrees.

Since, both English and German fans, fans of both sides have a bad reputation with police around the world, and given the blood feud between the two teams, it was yet another dead-on knockout match, so the game was all but spared for Bron. The entire police force of Fontaine City.

At the same time, just in case, the city government of Bloemfontein also specially issued a temporary "no alcohol order" - within a radius of [-] miles near the Free State Stadium, from four hours before the game to During the period of four hours after the game, the sale of all alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

In addition, England fans and German fans will go to the Free State Stadium from different roads, and then enter through completely opposite entrances.in the stands.The stand area between the fans of the two teams will be vacated, and will be guarded by heavily armed riot police, all of which are just to prevent the fans of the two teams from meeting before entering the stadium and causing conflicts.

In addition, Al Qaeda had previously declared that as long as it was a game played by England or the US team, it would be their key target of attack. Therefore, this game also attracted a lot of attention from the South African government, and a large number of military police were deployed from various teams across the country. The United Kingdom and the United Kingdom also sent a special force of dozens of people to Bloemfontein to assist in security.

"This is simply the security level of the World Cup finals." The British media who saw this scene sighed.

A person next to him continued, "I don't know if it's World Cup final-level security, but this security is higher than the World Cup opening game."
