Chapter 298 Jessica's Family ①



Chapter 298 Jessica's Family①
In the morning, Li Rui drove to Manchester Airport first, and put Jessica on the plane to San Francisco, where she was going to attend an advertising endorsement signing ceremony, and then Jessica would go to Toronto to attend the Canadian premiere of "Tracking the Blue Sea" Mode.

After seeing off Jessica, he was on his way to Carrington for training grounding. Feeling Jessica's body fragrance in the car, Li Rui drove on a quiet path with a small road beside it. In the woods, you can see the Anglo-style arc-topped buildings...

After parking the car, walk on the quiet path and pass through a slightly narrow gate. If it weren't for the emblem of Manchester United on the gate, no one would have thought that this is the famous Carrington training base. The training ground of the Manchester United dynasty that once dominated Europe.

…………

On the training ground of the Carrington Training Base, Li Rui is participating in a team training game. He has been in good form recently, and it is the same in training. In this team match, he only played for a little over half an hour , Li Rui has already staged a hat-trick.

Such a state can also be seen from the fans on the sidelines applauding loudly. If you look carefully, you will find that the number of fans holding Manchester United's No. 10 jersey accounts for a large proportion. This also indirectly shows that Li Rui is now The status in the hearts of Manchester United fans, "The Times" also lamented that this young man who came to Old Trafford from Elland Road was accepted by Manchester United fans at a speed not inferior to that of Eric Can. Tonner...

…………

Although the early winter in London is cold and humid, and you have to wear a down jacket when you go out, after a long period of fierce confrontation, Li Rui started to sweat profusely, and his black hair was wet with sweat. At that time, he used to have a cropped cut, but now he started to grow long hair, which is also because he endorsed Qingyang shampoo products.

"Li, come down and rest." Ferguson replaced Li Rui with Giuseppe Rossi. The old Scottish man handed Li Rui a bottle of mineral water and asked casually, "How do you feel?"

"There is no problem." Li Rui said too much and kicked his right foot twice. After the team doctor gave a physical examination to the whole team, he found that Li Rui's knee was a little serious. This was due to muscle fatigue. Under such circumstances ,easy to get injured.

Speaking of which, apart from the suspension, Li Rui seldom missed Manchester United's games this season. His physical energy consumption is still huge, but his physique is very good, but his muscles are tired. After the conditioning of the team doctor and physiotherapist, the problem is not Big.

Ferguson nodded and asked Li Rui to follow the physical therapist to get a massage. He also set his sights on the training ground.

…………

Pierce, a reporter from the "Manchester Guardian", watched this scene outside the training ground, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Now Li and Mr. Alex Ferguson can be said to be like father and son. This scene was between Ferguson and Beckham back then. Mu also appeared on him, and now the same scene not only appeared on Lee, but also on Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney...

This can't help but make Pierce a little dazed. He is familiar with the Manchester United team and he doesn't know how long this kind of "love with father and son" relationship can last...

The Carrington training base has sent away batch after batch of players. The only thing that remains unchanged is the Manchester United emblem outside the training base, the enthusiastic fans who come to watch the team's training every day outside the training ground, and the team reporters like him... …

…………

Li Rui was lying on the sidelines, and the physical therapist was giving him a massage. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it. He could even hear the shouts from the neighbor next door.

In fact, when it comes to the Carrington training base, it is a coincidence that the training camp of Manchester City is next to the Carrington training base. The training bases of the two rivals in the same city are almost next to each other. This is indeed a bit unbelievable. However, The fans of Manchester United and Manchester City seem to be getting along happily. As long as it is not a derby day, the two sides will greet each other and chat for a while.

…………

I remember one time when Li Rui was practicing shooting, he fired an anti-aircraft gun. Ferguson was so angry that he asked Li Rui to go to the neighbor next door to retrieve the football.

Li Rui ran to the Manchester City training camp under the watchful eyes of the Manchester City fans, picked up the football, and stopped to chat with Sun Jihai after training. When Li Rui kicked and flew over, Sun Jihai couldn't be happier. The ball just now flew over from the Carrington training base and hit Manchester City defender Distin on the head...

Li Rui was stunned. No wonder he felt that when he came in to pick up the ball just now, the bald head looked at him with unfriendly eyes...

…………

At that time, Li Rui took a look at the Manchester City training camp, and he was also envious, because the Manchester United Carrington training camp was really incomparable with the Manchester City training camp. The luxury of the Manchester City training camp made Manchester United who are used to seeing big scenes. The players are also a little envious. Let's put it this way, if you just look at the level of luxury, the Manchester City training camp is like an aristocrat, or the hereditary kind, while Manchester United's Carrington is like a commoner. , just better than the three generations of poor peasants...

However, in terms of performance, Manchester United's glory cannot be matched by Manchester City's flattery.

***********
Birmingham is the second largest city in the United Kingdom. The city was almost bombed into ruins by German fighter planes during World War II, so most of the buildings now are produced after the 60s and [-]s of the last century, so this city is also known as Britain's most Ugly city' and the not so nice title of 'concrete forest'.

However, the most famous thing in Birmingham is the temper of the locals. Even the British admit that Birmingham people are the most irritable and rude. In another sense, no matter which team comes to Birmingham as a guest, don't think how comfortable this away trip will be...

…………

On December 2005, 12, the 17th round of the Premier League, the last round of the league before Christmas, the Manchester United team came to Birmingham by bus. However, their opponent was not Birmingham, but another Premier League team in the city Aston Villa.

Li Rui was sitting on the bus, looking out the window, he could already see the Villa Park stadium in the distance, the sound became more and more noisy, but in winter, he felt impetuous everywhere...

Looking out from the car window, the Manchester United bus seems to be completely surrounded by Aston Villa's crimson jersey. The Manchester United bus is moving forward with difficulty. Every time it advances 1 meter, the noisy sound becomes clearer. The frenzied breath of the crowd is getting stronger and stronger, making people feel a little irritable.

…………

On both sides of the road are Aston Villa fans wearing crimson jerseys. They are marching in groups, shoulder to shoulder, some carrying huge flags, some holding banners, all singing songs , marching towards Villa Park with arrogance and arrogance.

However, fans will not forget to point the middle finger to the Manchester United bus and sit with various insulting gestures.

A shirtless fat man in the UK in early winter, with white flecks of fat, pouted his ass at the Manchester United bus, then twisted, and slapped himself on the ass, the taste of provocation and sarcasm is obvious .

…………

The people of Birmingham are obviously not friendly at all. Their middle fingers seem to be always upright, always pointing towards the Manchester United players in the bus, and their mouths are constantly spitting out the national curse of England...

Birmingham is the second largest city in the United Kingdom, second only to London, which also gives Birmingham people a natural sense of geographical superiority. However, in football, this once glorious 1982 European Champions Cup, European Super Cup and Toyota Cup champions It is obviously not worth mentioning that the champion has to live in front of Manchester United, which makes Aston Villa fans a little bit unacceptable.

The sirens sounded, and although several motorcycle police cars were driving the way, the Manchester United team bus was still moving very slowly. This is also the way Aston Villa fans support their own team in this way. Pressure can also delay Manchester United's time. If it is so slow, when Manchester United arrives at Villa Park, they will have little time to warm up and prepare.

…………

On both sides of the broad road, hundreds of police officers and staff joined hands to form two human walls. Behind the human walls were countless Aston Villa fans, and they looked crimson from a distance...

It even gave people the illusion that all the men in Birmingham were here.

Li Rui looked at the upright middle finger outside the car window, and heard the abuse from Aston Villa fans. He even touched his nose and laughed. Now, Li Rui is used to this kind of treatment , It was better when he was at Leeds United. After the transfer to Manchester United, every away trip of Manchester United was carried out in a hostile atmosphere.

If there is any team that has no friends in England, then Manchester United is undoubtedly the first choice for this team. "Other teams in the Premier League hate Manchester United. They want Manchester United to be relegated." These are the original words of Ferguson!

…………

After the Manchester United team bus passed a curve, the front suddenly opened up, and the driver also accelerated and drove into the parking lot of Villa Park Stadium.

Behind them, the abuse from the Aston Villa fans gradually faded away. As the sun set, Manchester United's last game before Christmas was about to usher in.

***********
When the Manchester United players were warming up at Villa Park, the Aston Villa fans in the stands were even more excited than blood. They shouted insults and greeted all the Manchester United players. Even the England national team is very popular now. The chubby guys didn't let it go, they raised their middle fingers, and even the banners in the main stand were hung with various slogans insulting Manchester United.

Manchester United players warming up quietly, no one deliberately provoke these fans, which is not good for both parties, however, the atmosphere is indeed a bit depressing, if this is the purpose of the Aston Villa fans, they did a good job.

…………

The closeness of the locker room is not good, the hustle and bustle of Villa Park can be heard, and even the slogans of Aston Villa fans insulting Manchester United can be faintly heard.

"I don't like this ghost place at all." Rooney muttered.

Li Rui nodded in agreement. He didn't have a good impression of Birmingham, and the city didn't leave a good impression on him.

"I'll shut up these damn bastards." The little fat man said again viciously.

…………

Li Rui glanced at his partner. He knew why Rooney was in such an atmosphere. Aston Villa fans greeted Rooney's girlfriend Colleen just now, which made the little fat man very angry.

As for Li Rui, perhaps because Jessica is too famous and afraid of causing public indignation from fans, Aston Villa fans don't have any foul language. The alleged racially discriminatory slogan, if there is no accident, Villa Park Stadium should receive a ticket from the Football Association after this game.

However, some fans are like this. The Football Association punishes the stadium and the club, so they don't bother to care about it. They just need to feel good.

…………

"I'll help you." Li Rui winked at Rooney, and the fat man gave him a high five.

There was a slap, and the sound of clapping palms was so loud in the somewhat quiet locker room. Ferguson, who was mobilizing before the battle, glared at the two guys, "Wayne, Lee, what do you two disagree with?" ?"

"Uh... no, very good, boss, you are so right." The two guys hurriedly stated, which caused a roar of laughter in the locker room, and also diluted the tense atmosphere before the game.

…………

Ferguson ignored the two guys, and after speaking a few more things that need special attention, he left the players free to rest for 5 minutes, and the assistant coach Queiroz shouted at the door, "Boys! It's time to enter the field." !"

"Crack! Crack!" In the quiet aisle, the studs of the football shoes hit the ground and made a loud and harsh sound, just like the beating of war drums before the war.

The Manchester United players met the Aston Villa players rushing out of the dressing room in the corridor. The two sides neither glared at each other nor greeted each other, as if they were passers-by, they lined up in two lines and walked towards the player corridor.

I only heard the 'snap' sound of the spikes on the ground, and the atmosphere was indeed a bit depressing.

…………

This game is neither a duel between the traditional top four, nor a collision between rivals such as Derby or Manchester United and Leeds United. However, the atmosphere of this game is indeed depressing. See you on the pitch.

All this stems from the war of words before the game. The head coach of Aston Villa is Leeds United's peak coach at the beginning of this season. O'Leary has been portrayed as "cruel" since he coached Leeds. consumer", and Aston Villa chairman Doug Ellis defied the odds to bring him in four years ago, and they soared from the relegation zone to sixth that season.

This also made O'Leary famous again, and the Irishman's tail is also raised high. No one can deny the Irishman's ability. His Leeds youth army was invincible back then, but the Irishman was proud and never felt at ease. The club dawdles.

…………

However, Aston Villa has encountered a crisis this season. So far, the schedule is halfway through. Aston Villa has only won four games, ranking 15th in the league and being dropped into the relegation zone. , Under such circumstances, O'Leary still fired at Ferguson before the game, "Our current situation is not good, the relegation zone? Maybe, but after this game, you will find that Manchester United will lose. At the feet of a relegation team..."

At the end of the interview, O'Leary did not forget to grab the reporter and ask, "Do you really think my team is a relegation team?"

The reporter was stunned by O'Leary's question, and didn't know how to answer. The current Aston Villa head coach really has a way of making the elites of Fleet Street incoherent.

…………

Regarding O'Leary's remarks, how could the old Scottish man, who was dismissive of Wenger and Mourinho, be willing to suffer a loss? He responded like this, "After tomorrow's game, everyone will find out, The biggest relegation favourites from the Premier League this season have emerged..."

The Scottish old man's remarks also completely angered the Aston Villa fans who had no affection for Manchester United. However, the Villa fans didn't seem to think about who started the spat. To be honest , even the "Sun" said a fair word, "The opponent in Ferguson's eyes does not have an Irishman named O'Leary..."

***********
Under the leadership of the bald head referee Mick, 22 players walked out of the passage in a neat queue.

Although it is winter, next week will be Christmas, and the weather is cold, but a wave of heat is still sweeping everyone's face.

Standing in the center circle, Li Rui looked up at the surrounding stands, where it was like a sea of ​​crimson, Aston Villa fans were shouting almost crazy, next week is Christmas, many fans have already The fans who have been on vacation and worked for a year can finally relax, and the stadium is undoubtedly the best place to vent wantonly, not to mention that the opponent in this game is "that team that makes people hate Manchester United"...

The cold weather made everyone breathe white smoke, and the smoke from tens of thousands of fans filled the air, making the stands of Villa Park look like a battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke from a distance.

…………

At this moment, at home in Southern California, Jessica is reclining on the sofa at home, watching the TV screen. At this time, the Hollywood actress does not look like a lady at all. She stuffs popcorn into her mouth and drinks Coke , this is the rare time of the year that Jessica can eat and drink like an ordinary girl. In normal times, coke, popcorn, hamburgers?Don't even think about these things!

After attending the premiere of "Tracking the Blue Sea" in Toronto, Jessica took the time to return home. Speaking of which, she has hardly worn it at home for more than a year. The days I stayed there totaled up to about two months.

…………

Beside Jessica, a little girl like a porcelain doll pouted and looked at Jessica pitifully. She was playing with Jessica just now, and Jessica slapped her on the forehead indiscriminately. A 'brain collapse', almost crying out of pain, she is Jessica's cousin Lily, 16 years younger than Jessica...a little girl who is so beautiful that she can be described as exquisite, if Li Rui If you see it, you will definitely think that this little girl is Vivienne, the two little girls do look alike.

…………

On the TV, players from Manchester United and Aston Villa have already entered the field. The players of both sides spread out in the midfield according to the formation. The camera also gave some close-ups of some 'key players' of the game.

The camera is focused on Manchester United's No. 10. There is no doubt that during the period when Cristiano Ronaldo was injured, the quarrel between Li Rui and Cristiano Ronaldo who is the core of Manchester United's offense has finally come to an end. Now all Everyone knows that Li Rui is the core of Manchester United's offense on the pitch. The speed with which this young Chinese man integrated into the team is astonishing.

…………

"Sister, it's Li...Is he the man who slept with you?"

Seeing a close-up shot of Li Rui by the camera in front of the court, Lily shouted excitedly, she had already forgotten what Jessica had done to her just now.

Jessica, who was picking up the cup to drink Coke, almost choked, looked at her little cousin in embarrassment, then looked at the living room in a panic, and felt relieved when she saw that her father was not there breath...

…………

Jessica quickly hugged Lily into her arms to prevent the little girl from yelling again.

At this time, the game has already started, and the domestic TV stations in the United States do not have the broadcast signal of this game. They give the signal of Arsenal VS Chelsea at home. However, I want to see Manchester United's away game against Aston Villa. , this is not a big problem for a star like Jessica.

…………

Although Aston Villa coach O'Leary uttered wild words before the start of the game, Manchester United, as a traditional giant in Europe, quickly showed amazing domineering and launched a mercury-like flood after the opening. attack.

The current Manchester United trident, composed of Scholes, Li Rui and Rooney, showed a strong desire to attack from the very beginning, suppressing the home team Aston Villa at halftime.

The head coach of Aston Villa, O'Leary, seemed very anxious. Less than 5 minutes into the game, the 'ambitious' head coach left his seat quickly and kept roaring loudly on the sidelines...

"Looking at this posture, Mr. O'Leary can't wait to play football by himself. Maybe he thinks that he is the key to defeating Manchester United..." Taibi taunted O'Leary mercilessly. Head coach, there are not many people who like him. Until now, many Leeds United fans and the English media think that the reason why Leeds United almost fell into the relegation zone the year before last is that O'Leary is so happy to ask the club to be irrational There is a great relationship between the big signings...
