Chapter 922

In the England dressing room.

"We lead by one goal, which is good, guys. It stands to reason that I should praise you at this time, congratulate you. Celebrate this score. But sorry, I can't do it at the moment." Mourinho said shaking his head. "Now is not the time to celebrate. We are only leading by one goal. This is not safe. Maybe the Spaniard only needs one attack to equalize the score. When the whistle at the end of the game is sounded, at that time, our score is still ahead. , then is the time to celebrate."

The players nodded in agreement with the coach's words.Li Rui is also thinking about what Mourinho said, and it is appropriate to use a Chinese idiom to express it, that is, 'the real laugh is the last laugh'.

Mourinho went on to say: "We can't be satisfied with this score. My request is that in the second half of the game, if possible, I hope you try to seize the opportunity to open the score." He clenched his fist as he spoke, as if Smashing down like a hammer, "Smash Spain's last determination to resist."

"In the second half, we no longer continued to attack, but instead defended and counterattacked." Mourinho continued.No one was surprised when he said that.Because this is the final of the World Cup, it is right for England to be conservative. Besides, the defensive counterattack is not impossible to score. Don't forget, England's counterattack is quite sharp.

Seeing that the players understood, Mourinho nodded in satisfaction. According to his plan, he would strive for a goal lead in the first half, then gradually shrink the defense line in the second half and start playing defensive counterattacks. Either keep this advantage or take advantage of it. When the opponent pressed forward and was eager to equalize the score, they waited for an opportunity to sneak attack and widen the gap.

With Li Rui and Rooney, England's counterattack is actually very threatening.Don't forget, there is also the big killer of Beckham's pass.

***********
"You need to be fast when counterattacking..." Speaking of which, Mourinho looked at Li Rui, "In the second half, your position is slightly retreated, connecting the midfielder and the striker. When counterattacking, do you drive the ball yourself or pass it? You decide for yourself, but my request is to maintain the speed and efficiency of the counterattack, and not to waste opportunities." Then he glanced at Rooney, "Wayne, you are in the front, and maintain a tacit understanding with Li Rui at any time."

Li Rui nodded, he knew that Mourinho had given him more freedom.

Rooney has no objection either. He is very used to this kind of tactics. The tacit understanding between him and Li Rui in the Manchester United team for four seasons is nothing to say. Although Li Rui went to Real Madrid last season, the tacit understanding is still very familiar. .

************
Spain's dressing room.

"You've done a good job, gentlemen," Del Bosque said to his players.This surprised the players. They are now [-]:[-] behind, but there is nothing worthy of praise.Seeing the surprised faces of the players, Bosque went on to say, "I'm not mocking you. In fact, at [-]:[-] in the first half, I was really worried that the English would score again and you would be able to pull it back." One goal, which makes me very happy. It still keeps us in the championship. And, I am convinced that the victory will belong to us, to Spain."

The Spanish media once described Bosque in this way, "Bosque is a gentleman, he is very sincere to people, and he is respected by everyone while convincing people with virtue."

There is no doubt that the old man is highly respected, and so are the Spanish players, and Del Bosque's charisma is a big reason why the Spanish dressing room remains united.

Although Bosque's voice was not high, he said that Spain would definitely win the championship. For some reason, the players felt confident, as if Spain could really win the championship.

*************
"In the first half, when we were attacking, when the two full-backs came in, there was no protection at the back, that would not be the case in the second half. We need to score, we need to attack, but, do it well. Defense." He glanced at Ramos and Capdevila. "It may be more difficult for you in the second half. When pressing out, you must return to the defense in time. When others are in the open space on the side, you must also pay attention to assisting defense."

"England's left flank is very high. In the second half, we need to make more use of this when we attack. Iniesta, you have to run more in the second half so that you can get more opportunities."

Iniesta nodded.

Afterwards, Bosque said to Fabregas who started warming up at the last moment of the first half, "Exit Busquets, you come on, our midfield was too fast in the first half, you have to play a buffer role in the midfield .”

Fabregas nodded, his eyes excited, this is the final of the World Cup, he can't wait to play.Busquets, who was replaced, was a little depressed and a little frustrated.He doesn't think his performance is bad, and he doesn't think Fabregas is better than himself.Actually he's a very pompous guy.

************
The second half of the game is about to begin.

The linesman was checking the net of the goal, while the referee Irmakov was counting the number of players on both sides. After everything was OK, he blew the whistle to start the second half of the [-] South Africa World Cup final.

"The second half of the game has begun. The Spanish team has already completed the substitution at halftime. Cesc Fabregas replaced Busquets. England has not yet made a substitution."

The commentators were talking about the possibility of the second half of the game during the intermission. One point of view is that the Spanish team will definitely launch a fierce attack, and the Spanish team, which is behind, must attack with all its strength.

However, after the start of the second half of the game, it was the England team that first gave the Spanish team a slap in the face!

This is Cesc Fabregas passing the ball to Pedro, who wants to pass Gareth.Barry, but was Gareth.Barry steals the ball, and after stealing the ball, he passes the football to Ashley.Cole.

***********
Ashley Cole dribbled the ball at high speed on the left, and Pedro desperately chased it back.During the half-time break, Bosque especially emphasized the need to counter-grab immediately after losing the ball to delay the opponent's attack.

Ashley Cole and Pedro have almost the same speed. Ashley Cole is faster than Pedro, but now he is carrying the ball, while Pedro is running without the ball. Gradually The distance between the two was drawn closer.

Just when Pedro had caught up with Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole suddenly passed the ball.

The ball was passed to Li Rui who retreated to meet him.

Li Rui just caught the ball.Fabregas rushed up, and he fell to the ground to tackle the ball!Not at all polite.

Li Rui pulled the ball horizontally, and he himself gave way to the left, Fabregas' tackle was empty.Li Rui took advantage of the trend to speed up and wiped past Fabregas who fell to the ground.

Just as Li Rui dribbled the ball past Cesc Fabregas, Harvey rushed up and slammed into Li Rui.Harvey's plan was to block Li Rui's breakthrough even if he tried to make a tactical foul.He couldn't let Li Rui boost England's morale at the beginning of the second half.

Of course Li Rui didn't let Harvey get what he wanted, and saw him move the football forward.Then the side of the body just slid past Harvey. . .Then, he continued to dribble forward with the ball.

***********
Li Rui's breakthrough attracted the entire Spanish defense line. In fact, the Spaniards had no choice. Seeing Li Rui's posture, it seemed that everyone had to pass by to enjoy themselves.

This time it was Capdevila who came up.He rushed up and stretched out his foot to steal the ball. He had already expected Capdreira's movement, and he stopped suddenly. Capdevila missed the kick and slipped suddenly.

Li Rui flicked the ball again, speed up!
"Passed! Another passed! The third!"

"Beautiful! Li Rui broke through three Spanish players one after another! Whether it's Cesc Fabregas, Xavi or Capdevila, they can't do anything to Li Rui! Li Rui is still dribbling!! Is Li Rui going In the final of the World Cup, I will show everyone his crazy performance of winning [-] players in a row against Argentina?!" The narrator shouted excitedly.

"God! Stop him!" the Spanish narrator shouted in horror.

Both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV were shouting excitedly.

Just when all the emotions were lifted, everything came to an abrupt end.

***********
"Foul! ***!" Casillas yelled loudly in front of the goal. He was furious that his teammates' defense was not decisive.

At this time, Puyol came out of the penalty area, and he decisively knocked Li Rui head-on to the ground.This is a tactical foul!
Puyol's collision was really fierce, and Li Rui rolled several times on the turf after falling to the ground.

Shhhhhhhhhh!

Huge boos sounded! !

The England fans were almost going crazy, their incomparable anger, just when they were eager to see Li Rui continue to perform crazy, watching the craziest art performance, but they were strangled by Puyol!

The neutral fans in the stands also booed, they were also fascinated by Li Rui's performance.

***********
"Oh! Hell! This is a crime! Puyol ruined an extremely crazy individual performance! Li Rui almost staged a crazy scene again! This is the killing of football art! Red card!" Lineker looked extremely angry.He loudly criticized Spain for the foul.

Other commentators are not as aggressive as Lineker, but they also feel particularly regretful, "Li Rui played the entire Spanish defense line in his hands, and the Spanish team captain Puyol had to use fouls to block The attack! He blocked what might be the greatest goal in the history of a World Cup final!"

The England fans also followed Pleinkel and shouted the red card, and the England fans at the scene even shouted 'red card' in unison.

***********
The referee Irmakov did not satisfy the England fans because he only gave Puyol a yellow card. This move once again attracted the dissatisfaction of the England fans and neutral fans on the scene, and the boos became more violent.

Li Rui sat on the ground, he felt a pain in his chest, and Puyol hit him hard.

Beckham came up and pulled Li Rui up.

"Nice job!" Beckham said.

Li Rui grinned, "David, it's up to you." He said to Beckham that this was a free kick from England in an excellent position.
