There is a smiling Santa Claus in every store, the store is full of Christmas trees with colorful lights, the windows are also covered with snowflakes, and the waiters are also wearing Santa hats. They wish each other 'Merry Christmas' when they meet each other. There are dogs all over the world wearing Santa hats on their heads, all of which tell everyone, 'Christmas is here'!
On December 12, the weather was extremely bad. First there was a violent storm, and then after the rain stopped, snowflakes began to fall again, which made the road conditions even worse. On the road from Leeds to Manchester, Leeds United, who were enjoying the Christmas holiday Fans are stranded on the highway. This is a rare traffic jam. These Leeds United fans are all going to Old Trafford to watch Leeds United's away game against Manchester United tonight.

Although most of the fans did not have tickets and could not enter the stadium, Leeds United fans chose to travel to Manchester with their families on the Christmas holiday in such bad weather.

…………

"There are about 5000 Leeds United fans trapped on the road, and it seems impossible for them to get to Old Trafford before the start whistle, however, there are now about 1 Leeds United fans. United fans have come to Manchester. Now, there is a sea of ​​white outside Old Trafford, which is occupied by Leeds United fans. There are still 3 hours before the game starts, and the Manchester United fans have not yet shown up... Rose The war is on the verge of breaking out." A reporter from Sky TV is focusing on the Manchester United VS Leeds United match.

The camera zoomed in, and outside the Old Trafford Stadium, there was a very conspicuous banner, which read, "On December 12, the Old Trafford Stadium prohibits the sale of all alcoholic beverages, and prohibits individuals from bringing them into the stadium. , once discovered, will be severely punished!"

…………

"Okay, dear, don't be upset." Jessica handed the steaming milk to Li Rui. The two were watching TV. The TV screen was about the upcoming match between Manchester United and Leeds United. The report of the game, however, Li Rui seemed a little uninterested, he was very eager to play in this game, Leeds United was the first club he played for, it was his past, and Manchester United was Li Rui's present, This game has a special meaning for Li Rui.

It's a pity that he is injured and can't play now. To be honest, Li Rui really wants to taste Richardson, Alan Lennon, Neil Gilckney and Milner as opponents on the court. The feeling of going to the competition, this feeling must be different.

This season, Leeds United's performance is good. Halfway through the schedule, they are now ranked 6th in the standings, and they even hope to hit the top four in the league. In the UEFA Cup, Leeds United also reached the top 32.

…………

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the house was warm. Of course, there was air conditioning in the villa. However, on the special day of the Christmas holiday, Li Rui also used the fireplace at home as the Romans did. In addition, Jesse With Ka by his side, Li Rui, who was no longer alone, experienced the joy of Christmas for the first time.

After dinner, Jessica drove, and the two of them also started driving towards Old Trafford, joining the crowd of fans gathered outside the stadium.

Originally, Li Rui planned to call and chat with Neil Gilckney and the others before the game, but after thinking about it, it’s time for the game between Manchester United and Leeds United, although Li Rui won’t be able to make it to the game However, I really don't know what to say when I called. Let's forget it and talk about it after the game is over.

…………

Old Trafford was full of seats. Looking from the VIP boxes of the stadium, a small white wave of Leeds United seemed to be completely surrounded by the red wave of Manchester United, and it was in danger of being eroded at any time.

After the game started, everyone was shocked to find that Leeds United set off a wave of offense at Old Trafford.

In the 2nd minute, after Neil Gilckney advanced from the left near the bottom line, he raised the ball and passed the football into the penalty area. After Alan Lennon missed the football, Kluivert, who inserted it, was about 10 meters away from the goal. The place where it was, it was a volley shot directly, and the football slid past the goal.

However, Kluivert, who completed the shot, was directly knocked down by O'Shea. Although the Leeds United players protested angrily to the referee Scott, the referee indicated that this was not a foul.

…………

In the 7th minute, after Neil Gilckney changed direction and passed Fletcher, he passed a beautiful through ball. Unfortunately, Alan Smith moved half a body ahead of time and was offside.

Ferguson touched his chin on the sidelines and glanced at Leeds United's No. 15. Neil Gilckney's two consecutive successful breakthroughs surprised the old Scottish man. In fact, Neil Gilckney's performance this season Performance has been good.

Three minutes later, Scholes tackled Milner from the rear and was shown a yellow card by referee Scola.Immediately after the 3th minute of the game, Alan Lennon kicked Rooney down, and the referee showed Alan Lennon a yellow card...

Li Rui was sitting in the stands of the VIP box, and the camera was aimed at him. Li Rui clicked his tongue twice. Frankly speaking, this match has reached the 15th place, and this match is more like a hand-to-hand combat.

…………

In the 21st minute, Saha, who started the game, had his ankle shoveled by Sorondo and received treatment on the sidelines. Regardless of the fact that the French "glass man" could not continue the game, Manchester United replaced the Italian teenager Giuseppe Rossi. Get off Saha.

Speaking of it, Saha was really unlucky. When Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui were injured one after another and had a rare chance to start the game, the Frenchman was injured again. It is no wonder that Ferguson can no longer stand him. Maybe, This 'War of the Roses' with Leeds will be the Frenchman's swan song at Old Trafford...

…………

Manchester United's best chance in the first half came in the 36th minute. Giggs made a sudden cross from the wing. After Rooney got the ball, he suddenly broke through Ferrari with his right foot. The football was blocked by Carson and rolled to the side. Giuseppe Rossi followed up and was about to make a follow-up shot. The football was rescued by Richardson on the goal line...

In the 42nd minute of the game, Roy Keane fouled Neil Gilckney, and the referee showed a yellow card to the Manchester United captain.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Leeds United almost scored a goal. Albertini suddenly sent an overhead kick. Kluivert seemed to be 5 years younger, showing amazing skills. The Dutchman first used With a pad on his knee, the football passed over Ferdinand's head, and then Kluivert broke into the penalty area and shot with his left foot. However, the football was pounced by Van der Sar and then he was cleared by Heinze...

At the end of the first half, the electronic scoreboard at Old Trafford was still 0:0, no one scored, and both sides received a yellow card...

However, the progress of the game was far more intense than reflected in the score.

***********
During the intermission, Li Rui, who was on crutches, was accompanied by Jessica to the VIP room of the stadium to have a rest. The aroma of coffee wafted in the air, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, countless floodlights could be seen Projected on the turf of the Old Trafford Stadium, it made people feel a little dizzy. Li Rui wondered why he didn't feel this way when he was playing football. Maybe he was too involved when he was playing football Bar.

After drinking coffee, on the way back to the box, Li Rui ran into an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Leeds United chairman Paul Stubbs. The relationship with his club is pretty good. The chairman of Leeds United first asked about Li Rui's injury, and Li Rui told him that he would have to rest for about 20 days.

"Oh, maybe I should thank Barry." Paul Stubbs said half-jokingly, and it was indeed the case, if it wasn't for Aston Villa captain Barry's savage tackle that caused Li Rui to be injured. Li Rui will definitely start the game against Leeds United. Although the players of Leeds United know Li Rui very well, it is very difficult to guard him. Now the score at halftime will not be even 0:0.

"If I play, I will work hard to find the goal." Li Rui replied that this is indeed his idea. As a professional player, he must distinguish his work from his personal feelings. There is still gratitude, but a game is a game, and yards are yards.

"I believe you will do that." Paul Stubbs and Li Rui chatted for a few more words and then parted. guesswork.

…………

In the second half of the game, Manchester United and Leeds United still fought hand-to-hand in the midfield. Without Li Rui and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United was a little bit alone with Rooney alone, while Giuseppe Rossi, who came on as a substitute for Saha Completely lost in front of Leeds United's aggressive style of play, facing the seasoned Sorondo's brown sugar-like defense, the Italian teenager is almost sleepwalking.

In the 71st minute of the game, Albertini sent a beautiful long pass. In the penalty area, Kluivert ferried the football to Alan Smith. The latter was just about to shoot, but was shoveled to the ground by O'Shea. It was also shoveled out of the bottom line.

…………

"It's not a penalty, is it?"

Li Rui's heart tightened, and he was relieved when he saw the referee Scola signaling Alan Smith to get up. It was a corner kick.

Then what was interesting was that Li Rui subconsciously looked at Leeds United's coaching bench. Sure enough, Eddie Gray rushed to the sidelines like an angry lion, probably protesting loudly towards the referee.

Li Rui covered his head and didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or was a little dumbfounded, "What's the matter, dear." Jessica asked him, Li Rui pointed to the coaching bench of Leeds United, and then Jessica saw the host The referee rushed there and took out a card towards the head coach of Leeds United, a red card!
Mr. Eddie Gray was sent into the stands.

"You guessed it?"

Li Rui nodded, "The boss must have scolded people on the sidelines...he still has such a temper."

At this time, Li Rui stopped talking. He suddenly realized that he was actually the "boss". It seems that the "rogue coach" still had a great influence on Li Rui's children's shoes. Li Rui called Ferguson the "boss" at Manchester United , calling Eddie Gray 'boss' at Leeds United...

It can be seen from this that Li Rui respects old man Ferguson on the one hand, and there is also an element of awe in it, but he is more affectionate to Eddie Glazer.

…………

In the end, in this game, Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Leeds United at home. The referee Scola showed a total of 3 red cards in this game, except for the one given to Leeds United coach Eddie Gray. In addition to Zhang, Manchester United captain Roy Keane was sent off for two yellow cards in the 81st minute of the game, while Leeds United defender Ferrari was sent off with a red card in stoppage time. .

After the game, Li Rui, as the host, invited Alan Lennon, Neil Gilckney, Milner, Scott Carson, and Richardson to have a small gathering in the bar. In honor of the landlord, this is also the first time that Li Rui and his friends from Leeds United have met since he transferred to Manchester United. If it weren't for the fact that he has an injury on his foot and that old man Ferguson is really a scary place, Li Rui would probably be drunk That's right, Li Rui was a little dizzy when he came out of the bar.

…………

Back home, Li Rui had a headache, which caused Jessica to complain again. At this time, Li Rui's cell phone rang, and he looked at the calling number and quickly pressed the answer button——
"Boy, why didn't you call me when you were drinking? Well, fortunately, you didn't play in this game, otherwise you would have been injured..."

Li Rui was giggling on the other end of the phone, needless to say, the person calling must be Leeds United's hooligan coach Eddie Gray.

…………

After hanging up the phone, Jessica asked Li Rui, "Will he really let players shovel you? I mean if, if you play in this game."

"Should...probably not." Li Rui scratched his head, but he didn't dare to guarantee that this Mr. Gray was really unpredictable, but, for example, he seemed to think of something, and nodded heavily, "No Will do!"

On the other end of the phone, Leeds United assistant coach Gustavo Poyet was also asking the question of 'rogue coach', but he asked it like this, "Are you really willing to let the players foul and shovel Li Rui?" It is a skill to ask this question. Eddie Gray's "rogue coach" is not a cover. The head coach of Leeds United has done a lot to "focus on" the core players of the opponent. Therefore, Leeds United What the United assistant coach asked was whether Eddie Gray would adopt such a foul tactic against Li Rui.

"Why not? He's from Manchester United..." Eddie Gray rolled his eyes, then closed his eyes and meditated.

Gustavo Poyet was stunned for a while and then laughed. He was laughing at a certain 'rogue coach' who was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Whether it was Gustavo Poyet or Eddie Gray, for Li Rui, not only It's just the relationship between the former head coach and the players... and the sense of accomplishment and intimacy that comes from discovering a talented player...
