Chapter 914 Finals

It's six o'clock in Johannesburg, South Africa.We will start from the hotel and head to the stadium.

Mourinho wore a windbreaker and an England scarf, looked at the hotel lobby, and asked casually, "Is everything here?"

Alan Shearer counted the number of people, and said a little surprised, "Li Rui is still short...Damn it, who knows where he went?" Li Rui is rarely late.

"I'll call him." Fatty Rooney volunteered. He and Li Rui were in the same room, so he was supposed to call him.

"Guess who I am? Li!" Li Rui was about to go downstairs to the hall when his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but if he could call this cell phone, it meant he was an acquaintance. He just connected. On the phone, I heard Ronaldo's voice.This made him a little surprised. After Portugal was eliminated by Spain, the gaffe-like Ronaldo not only pushed the responsibility for the loss to coach Queiroz, but also spat at the camera. The consequences of such behavior are obviously serious.According to Portuguese media reports, coach Queiroz has reached an agreement with the Portuguese Football Association that Ronaldo will be deprived of the national team captain's armband, and the team's new captain will be central defender Alves.After that, this guy hardly appeared in front of the media, and Li Rui never thought it would be this guy who called.After Li Rui transferred to Manchester United, he lost direct competition with Ronaldo, but the relationship between the two has improved a lot.

"Cristiano." Li Rui was in a hurry to go to the lobby to gather, not interested in playing guessing games with Ronaldo.

"Tsk, you are so boring! You should guess that I am Ronaldo or Ronaldinho." Ronaldo shouted, and then there was a bang.

"What sound?" Li Rui asked.

"It's nothing, it's... oh shit." After a crackling voice, "I'm making lunch, and hell, the plate broke."

Li Rui couldn't imagine Ronaldo wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen. A girl's voice could be heard on the microphone. Don't worry, that must be this guy's new girlfriend, Elena.

However, Li Rui can imagine that Ronaldo may not be happy even though he has a girlfriend. If England is eliminated, Portugal enters the final. . .

***********
At this time, Rooney opened the door and came in, calling Li Rui to gather. Seeing Li Rui on the phone, he asked casually, "Who is it?"

Li Rui pointed to the phone: "A wounded guy who needs comfort. You know him."

Rooney thought about it, but still couldn't figure out who it would be.

"Hello, Wayne." Ronaldo heard Rooney's voice and Li Rui's words, and complained, "I called you before your finals, and you are entertaining me like this, it's too much."

Rooney also recognized who it was, and he smiled, smiling triumphantly. Ronaldo's Portugal was eliminated, and the guy himself was stripped of the captain's armband because of his bad words.And England is still alive, and the final is about to be played.Thinking of the World Cup in Germany four years ago, the situation of the two was just the opposite. Although the little fat man reconciled with Ronaldo, he still couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of this.

************
"What's the matter? Cristiano, we have to hurry to gather and go to the final." Rooney asked directly without any intention of taking care of Ronaldo's injured heart.

"Oh, hell! I knew I wouldn't call you." The other end of the phone complained, "However, I am a gentleman, and I still want to congratulate you for entering the final." Ronaldo said these words sourly and sadly, he He even pessimistically felt that his Portugal would hardly have a chance to reach the World Cup finals.

"Thank you." Li Rui said earnestly. He can best understand Ronaldo's mood. Before the end of the season, Messi's Barcelona entered the Champions League final, but his Real Madrid was eliminated early. It's terrible, but the Champions League is held every season, but the World Cup is held every four years. The golden age of a professional athlete is only seven or eight years. How many four years can there be?Therefore, Ronaldo's mood at the moment is even worse.

***********
Ronaldo knew that they were indeed going to gather and were ready to go to the finals.

"Wish you guys good luck."

"Thank you."

"Li." He called again suddenly.

"Huh?" Li Rui, who was about to put down his phone, stopped.What else does the guy have to say.

"Beware of provocations and petty gestures from the Spaniard," he said.

"Uh-thank you, I will pay attention." Li Rui smiled, he was prepared for the Spaniard's possible actions, just look at Barcelona.However, Li Rui was very happy that the guy was able to remind himself sincerely.

"Okay, goodbye, ha, I'm going on vacation too, being eliminated also has the benefits of being eliminated, sunshine, beach, beautiful women, sea breeze, a beautiful life."

Li Rui wanted to comfort Ronaldo, but found that the line had already been hung up.

"This guy." The little fat man complained, blaming Ronaldo for not saying goodbye to him.

The two hurried to the hotel lobby, being late was Mourinho's least favorite.

***********
Because of Ronaldo's phone call, Li Rui and Rooney were the last two in the team to arrive at the hall. Of course, the little fat man went to call him.Not late.

Mourinho frowned, but did not criticize Li Rui. The final is coming soon. Maybe this kid is nervous. At this time, Mourinho is also thinking, this is a normal guy. Li Rui is only [-] At the age of [-], it was the first World Cup final, and it was unbelievable not to be nervous.Even Mourinho himself is very nervous. Of course, the 'madman' coach will not show it on his face. He wants to give the players the look of his confidence.

"Let's go! Get in the car!" Alan.Shearer said.

"Final!" Beckham yelled.

"Final!" Everyone shouted together.

"Champion!" Li Rui shouted.

"Champion!" shouted in unison again.

Beckham looked at his teammates. He felt a fire burning in his chest. This is his team, and the World Cup final is about to come. When he insisted on returning to the national team, he never dreamed of it. There will be the final of the World Cup, the moment when you hit the top of the world! !
And this is right now, right in front of your eyes! !
He touched his chest, the sound of his heart beating, this is real!
"Let's go!!" Beckham waved his hand and walked out first.

***********
When the reporters outside saw the commotion inside, they also got excited. They flocked to the bus from their hiding place and charged the defense line formed by the security guards, wanting to take close-up photos of the players getting on the bus.

The fans are much more pure-minded than the reporters.They gathered there and shouted at the exit of the hotel: "We are the champions! We are the champions! England! England! Champions! Long live!!"

All eyes were on the exit of the hotel gate, and the players hadn't come out yet.

"They are leaving!" The BBC reporter who was in charge of reporting at the hotel shouted excitedly, "Final, here we come! England is here!! [-] years later, here we are!" He couldn't help crying.

At this moment, many old fans on the scene and in front of the TV are wiping their tears. They thought that they would never see the moment when England hit the top of the world in this life!
***********
The flash light is like daylight!

As the captain, Beckham first appeared at the gate, did not greet the fans around, and did not show a smile in front of countless cameras. At this moment, he is not the heartthrob, he is David.Beckham - Captain of the Three Lions - and they're off to the biggest battleground on the planet!

Rooney's appearances are always eye-catching because he is more active than anyone else.Fatty is the live treasure of the England team. He waved his arms to the reporters and fans, making a gesture of victory. The reporters pressed the shutter desperately. They just like such players, so cooperate.

***********
Li Rui was the last one out of the team. He was walking behind to talk to Mourinho just now. He wanted to explain why he was late. Mourinho didn't have to ask, but he had to ask Mourinho himself , this is an attitude issue.Hearing that Li Rui said that he received a call from Ronaldo, and that Ronaldo, who was eliminated by Spain, reminded Li Rui to be careful of Spain's provocations and petty moves, Mourinho also raised his vigilance to a higher level.Players like Ronaldo and Li Rui will always face provocations and small actions, but being able to get Ronaldo to call to remind them shows that this matter is serious.

Li Rui himself feels nothing. This Spanish team has Barcelona as their team. His relationship with Barcelona is very rigid. During the national derby, he almost caused a gang fight. He has long been mentally prepared for the possible situation. up.He is very confident and thinks that nothing can stop him from competing for the championship!
Seeing Li Rui came out, the reporters became even more frantic, and the spotlights flickered, which made him unable to open his eyes.

Li Rui didn't say anything, he didn't accept the media interview, he went straight to the team bus, but when he was about to enter the bus at the last step, he turned his head and waved to the fans, which immediately aroused wild screams from the fans Shouts and cheers.It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Rui is the current King Arthur of England. His current popularity is even comparable to that of Queen Elizabeth II.

***********
Then, the staff of the team came out, and Mourinho was the last one to appear on the field. The 'madman' looked serious and cold, ignored the microphones that came over him, and got on the bus directly.

"Drive," Mourinho said.

The bus door closed slowly, and then the engine roared. Under the flashing lights of the reporters and the eyes of the fans, the England team moved forward to the final battlefield.

Almost at the same time, there were cheers and screams in front of the hotel where Spain was staying, and the Spanish team's bus also set off amidst the flashing lights.

The two buses going to the final battlefield drove towards the Football City Stadium from different directions. Along the way, there were [-] police cars clearing the way, motorcycle police escorted on both sides, followed by [-] police cars, and a military car at the end for protection. It is also traffic control.

In the night sky of Johannesburg, there were searchlights cast down and roaring sounds. That was the helicopter rented by Sky TV in the night sky to follow and take down shots.

This appearance is really majestic.

***********
When the England team's bus drove into the dedicated parking lot of the stadium, the Spanish team's bus also turned around. The opponents in the final met for the first time under such a coincidence.

"Look! Spain!!" Rooney shouted, pointing at the red bus opposite.

Hearing his shout, many people stood up and looked out of the window. They happened to see many Spanish players in the opposite bus also stood up and looked this way. It seemed that they also noticed the England bus.

Li Rui didn't get up, he just looked out the window, saw the scenery along the way, saw everything on the road to the finals, saw two buses, one crossed, and then one went west and the other went in the opposite direction to their respective special parking lots. After a while, they will go in through their respective entrances. When they meet again, they will be on the field, waiting for the sound of the battle horn.

***********
The players who got out of the car were once again welcomed by the fans. There were countless times more fans and reporters here than at the entrance of the hotel, especially the reporters. They were allowed to enter the mixed area and waited to interview the players. They all want to be able to get interviews with the players. This may be the last interview requirement before the World Cup final kicks off.

"Champion! Only the champion!" The microphones turned towards Li Rui, and he only said one sentence.Then the security guards and the police in Johannesburg tried their best to get into the locker room.

"Hurry up, lads! Hurry up and change!" Assistant coach Alan Shearer yelled, urging the players to change quickly and warm up.

Without his reminder, everyone was already changing clothes consciously. They were all silent, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. No one spoke, like a robot.

Seeing England players running into the stadium to warm up, the football city stadium, which was already packed, erupted into huge cheers, like a tsunami erupting!
"They're out! They're out! Our heroic lads are warming up! Listen to the cheers! Welcome lads! Welcome to the final battlefield!" Lineker shouted loudly while holding the microphone Looking down at the watch, "It's [-]:[-]! There are [-] minutes left!! The whistle for the decisive battle will be blown!! The final of this World Cup is about to start! I am very excited now, very excited... At this moment, we are waiting Too long! Too long!"
