Chapter 355 The Moment of Champions

At half-time, the scores at Old Trafford and St James' Park were unchanged, with Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle away and Manchester United 0-1 Charlton at home.

The Chelsea players walking towards the visiting team's dressing room at St James' Park didn't seem overly happy with the lead. Chelsea's players were clearly on another pitch, and they were concerned about Manchester United and Charlton's half. score.

When Mourinho told his players that Manchester United trailed Charlton 0-1 at home at half-time, the visiting team's dressing room immediately erupted, with everyone waving white towels and stamping their feet vigorously ,whistle.

"Okay - I said Manchester United are going to lose, they're going to lose," Mourinho said, winking at the players when, in fact, the 'Magic Bird' told the players He seems to be more energetic as a magician. "Everyone did a good job in the first half. In the second half, everyone continued to work hard. What I want is to determine the victory of the game as soon as possible. Newcastle should not be an obstacle for Chelsea to win the championship."

"That's right! Champion!!" The Chelsea players became excited. The news that Manchester United fell behind at half-time immediately made the Chelsea people high-spirited.

Mourinho squinted, his Chelsea is all right now, just waiting for Manchester United to make a mistake.

***********
Old Trafford, in the home team dressing room.

"You bastards! If the league championship is lost in your hands like this, you will become the most famous idiots in the history of Manchester United and will be recorded in the history of Manchester United forever!!" The entire dressing room belonged to an old Scottish man Roar.

Like an enraged lion, Ferguson fired at every team member, and everyone was reprimanded by him.

"Champion! Absolutely stay at Old Trafford!!" Ferguson recited this sentence forcefully. He looked at his players, "No one has a different opinion."

of course not!

***********
"Don't think about the score in the first half, you were worse than shit in the first half, you disappointed the fans who came to the scene to cheer for the champion - in the second half, everyone cheered up and forgot the first half field, don’t be impatient, calm down—attack—goal—equalize—goal—go-ahead—goal again—victory—championship!!” The old Scottish man almost blushed and yelled out these words with a thick neck , each word paused for a few seconds, biting hard, the players who were scolded by him, who dared not look up, gradually raised their heads following Ferguson's words, when Ferguson was almost waving his fists and shouted When the word 'champion' was said, the entire locker room was silent, and then there was a frenzied eruption:

"Champions!!! We are champions!!!" The entire locker room was filled with heavy gasps from the players and men.

***********
When he was about to play, Ferguson stopped Li Rui, "Are you okay?" He pointed to Li Rui's right leg and asked. In the first half of the game, the Charlton team set up an iron barrel formation, while in the midfield, Charlton The players from Dunton also used foul tactics. The referee Philip’s whistle in this game was soft, which also fueled the arrogance of the Charlton players to a certain extent. Li Rui once dribbled the ball and was tackled by Charlton midfielder Holland He fell to the ground and returned to the court after a few minutes of treatment on the sidelines. That's why Ferguson asked this question.

"It's okay, boss." Li Ruixu kicked him, indicating that he was fine.

"Be careful, don't get injured." Ferguson originally wanted to say that if he got injured, he would not be able to play in the World Cup. However, when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Li Rui had never played for the Chinese team, nor had the Chinese team entered the World Cup. The World Cup in Germany stopped the topic.I believe that if Ferguson's words are heard by media reporters, his jaw will drop in surprise. The old Scottish man has always had a tense relationship with the national team of his own international players because of the competition for players between the club and the national team. , He was able to say this sentence in the final game and the key game for Manchester United to win the championship, which shows that he is indeed quite satisfied with his No. 10 player.

However, Li Rui certainly knew that the head coach cared about him. He then said, "Boss, I want the league championship and the league golden boot. This is my World Cup in Germany!" After running over, he turned his head to look at the side of the player tunnel, but the league championship trophy was gone. This was because at the end of the first half, the sky that had been covered by dark clouds finally rained, and the league championship trophy was temporarily put away.

Ferguson looked at the back of his proud disciple and smiled. He had more confidence in winning this game and winning the league championship.

*********
After the start of the second half of the game, the actions of Charlton players on the field became more and more serious, and some actions were almost obvious injuries.However, the referee Philip's whistle in the first half was soft, which may have made the Charlton players even more unscrupulous.

The boos at Old Trafford continued to grow louder each time.

Li Rui received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo. After he and Cassano hit the wall, he suddenly turned around halfway and knocked the football back to Giggs. The Welsh veteran was about to shoot and was shoveled to the ground. , The football under their feet was also taken away, and the Manchester United players protested loudly, but the referee Philip indicated that there was no foul, and the game continued.

The boos at Old Trafford were harsh, and even the commentator couldn't stand it anymore, "Giggs was shoveled over, let's watch it again, this is an obvious tackle foul, everyone I saw it, only Philip didn't see it. Regardless of the outcome of this game, Philip will definitely be the topic of conversation after the game. If Manchester United lose the championship because of this, the 36-year-old banker will have a hard time. gone."

Ferguson was even more furious on the sidelines. He yelled at the referee. The referee Philip was not relentless in drawing cards at this time. He showed a yellow card to the old Scottish man.

Ferguson chewed gum resentfully, shook his hands, and sat back on the coach's bench.

***********
The feet of the Charlton players became more and more unclean. The Manchester United players became angry when they saw the referee's whistle so soft. Since the referee didn't whistle, we are not easy to bully.

Both sides got angry during the game, and body collisions and small frictions appeared frequently.There were more and more tackles that fell to the ground. Players from both sides showed their spikes several times. At this time, the referee Philip seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem. Charlton defender Perry showed a yellow card respectively, but it was too late, the anger of both sides had already been kicked out, so how could two yellow cards be suppressed.

Seeing the people on the court turning their backs, Taibi, the commentator of Sky TV, shook his head. In his opinion, it was because the referee Philip's whistle was too soft, which made this game, which is related to the league championship this season, so difficult. It's so ugly, "It's hard to imagine that in such an important game, the Football Association only sent the referee who has enforced less than 10 games in the Super League to enforce the law-no wonder Ferguson is so angry."

The camera was immediately on the sidelines. On the coaching bench of the Manchester United team, the Scottish old man looked gloomy. Looking at the situation on the field, he would yell a few words from time to time to let the players focus on the game. Charlton is fighting hand to hand, only Chelsea is happy, don't forget, now, Manchester United is 0:1 behind Charlton.

***********
Jessica in the stands was watching the game with a frown all the time. Seeing the fierce tackles of the Charlton players, she was very worried that her boyfriend would be injured. Of course, Jessica was also praying that her boyfriend could help If the team wins the league championship, it would be even better if they can score goals and win the league golden boot. Jessica knows how much the loss of the Champions League will hurt Li Rui. If they can win the league championship, it will be a great blow to Li Rui. The greatest consolation.

This is why Jessica took the time to come to Manchester from the United States to watch the game. She got off the plane two hours before the game and hadn't met Li Rui yet. Of course, Li Rui knew her girlfriend He was watching himself from the stands.

Seeing that the Charlton players pushed Li Rui down again, the referee whistled for a free kick in the frontcourt, but did not show a yellow card.Jessica also scolded the United States in an unladylike way. Her manager, Marco, glanced at Jessica, but didn't say anything.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick hit the wall and bounced back. Charlton defender Powell fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, snatching the football in front of Li Rui and shoveling out of the sideline. Manchester United's sideline ball.

Fletcher throws a throw-in, Giggs chests the ball and knocks the ball to Scholes, Scholes takes two steps towards the middle and then splits the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo receives the ball Turning around, he was about to advance from the wing, but was pulled down by Charlton midfielder Hughes. The referee awarded a free kick again and showed a yellow card to Hughes who was pushing.

Manchester United quickly took a free kick. Cristiano Ronaldo directly grounded the ball and passed the football to Li Rui. The moment Li Rui stopped the ball, he shoveled the football out of the sideline. However, Li Rui didn't stop the ball. He ran towards the football, picked it up with his toes, and the football jumped up. Li Rui turned around halfway to avoid it. He caught up with Sorondo's tackle, then caught up with the football, pushed the football forward, and then accelerated to rush over!
Huo Lan, who came up to help defend with Sorondo, saw that Sorondo's tackle was empty. He hurriedly tried to grab Li Rui's jersey, but his hand was slippery. Li Rui accelerated and broke free. Holland's pull, his jersey has long been soaked with rain and sweat, it's no wonder it's not slippery.

***********
Li Rui, who broke through the defenses of Thorondo and Holland, looked up and looked ahead. He keenly caught a gap in Charlton's iron barrel array, a gap that was fleeting.

Powell came up to intercept Li Rui, and Li Rui made a long-range shot with his foot raised. When Powell stretched his leg to block, he passed the football diagonally into the penalty area.

The ball was passed to Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester United No. 7 seemed to have eyes at the back of his head. He split his feet and leaked the football. Only the old Bulgarian defender Kishshef is around the Barry kid, and Cassano has enough time to get a chance to shoot.

Cassano kicked and dunked the football, and it hit Kishshev. When the Bulgarian defender fell down suddenly, Cassano looked at the goal and swung his right foot.

This is the close corner of the volley. The Charlton goalkeeper Anuosheng, who had already abandoned the goal, made a beautiful side throw and slapped the football. The football almost rolled out of the baseline and a corner kick.

***********
The Old Trafford stadium was full of exclamations, and there were endless sighs-this goal was not scored? ! ! !
Anuosheng's save was like a dagger with a blood groove, which made Manchester United coach Ferguson's heart bleed from the sidelines.The Scottish old man, who has been in charge of Manchester United for nearly 20 years, glanced angrily at the field, then Ferguson clenched his fist and slammed it on the coach's bench, and turned his head to glance at the bench.

"Wayne (Rooney), you warm up. Get ready to play, now the team needs to score!" This sentence is very straightforward, but it expresses everyone's hope, yes, Manchester United needs to score now!To be more precise, a champion is needed!
Rooney jumped up immediately, and the little fat man even jumped three times in a row. He nodded in surprise, then took off his coat and started to warm up on the sidelines.
Before the game, Rooney had a slight pain in the ankle of his left foot. Ferguson was forced to put the little fat man on the bench. Performance is pretty poor.

"Wayne is warming up. It seems that Ferguson is very dissatisfied with Cassano's performance. The Italian seems to have forgotten to bring his shooting boots in today's game." Lineker noticed the movement on the Manchester United bench.

***********
In the stands of the Old Trafford stadium, there was a lot of cheers. The cheers were not aimed at Cassano, but it is clear that the little fat man is more popular among Manchester United fans than joining Manchester United this winter. Cassano is more than one step better, not only because Rooney is an England international, but also because of the fat man's spirit of never giving up, which is very popular with Manchester United fans.

When Rooney was running back and forth on the sidelines, Li Rui could clearly notice that his partner Cassano's complexion became very bad. The Italian lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and he walked towards the penalty area without saying a word This corner kick is Cassano's last chance in this game. Of course, Cassano can guess that Rooney will replace him after playing. Everyone knows at this time that unless Li Rui is injured, he will not replaced.

Giggs took a corner kick and Li Rui grabbed the point. His header was punched out of the penalty area by Charlton goalkeeper Anuosheng. Outside the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo pushed the football into the penalty area. In the penalty area, Cassano got in front of Perry and rubbed his heel for a while. After the football bounced off the ground, it hit Sorondo's studs and rolled out of the baseline. It was still a corner kick.

***********
At this time, the fourth official raised his card, Wayne Rooney went up and Antonio Cassano went down.

Cassano glanced at Charlton's goal unwillingly, and walked slowly towards the sidelines. There was still applause from the stands of Old Trafford, at least Cassano's heel just now The shooting is still quite exciting.

However, Cassano seemed very unhappy. Everyone could see that when the team needed goals most to compete for the championship, he was replaced as a shooter, which showed that the head coach did not trust him and was dissatisfied with him. Not satisfied at least in this game.

The camera is aimed at the Italian, the guy who missed the opportunity in this game. The golden sneakers tailored for him by Nike stepped on the green turf in the rain, playing a line of extremely sad tunes, as if covered by mud and water. Golden sneakers on.

Walking to the sidelines, Cassano and Rooney simply high-fived. He walked towards the bench, and the camera followed him. The situation that the bloody media most hoped that Cassano and Ferguson would not buy each other did not appear, and Ferguson clapped Cassano's shoulder, although Cassano did not respond very positively, the Italian striker still took the mineral water bottle Ferguson handed him and sat on the bench.

***********
Li Rui didn't have time to pay attention to Cassano's sadness. He clapped hands with Rooney who had just played, and the two whispered together. Rooney got Ferguson's latest tactical arrangement off the field, which needs to be implemented on the offensive line.

Just now Cassano's heel shot resulted in a corner kick, Manchester United's second consecutive corner kick.

This time it was Cristiano Ronaldo who took the corner kick. Manchester United No. 7 drove the football into the penalty area. Li Rui jumped in front of the ball and did not hit the football. However, Charlton's Bulgarian defender Kishshef next to him He didn't hit the football either. In the middle, Ferdinand jumped up. He made a movement of shaking his head and hit the football with his scalp. Unfortunately, his header was too straight and was caught again by Charlton goalkeeper Andersson. Save the bottom line.

Corner - 2rd consecutive corner in [-] minutes!
***********
"Manchester United took the third corner kick in a row! During this period of time, the Manchester United team has completely besieged Charlton's goal. Unfortunately, now, it is Charlton who is leading the field. Ferdinand will definitely attack himself in the first half. I'm so sorry about that fall--IT'S--GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!! The one who scored the goal was--Rio Ferdinand?!!!!!! That's right, it's RIO!!! He scored! He finished it Redemption!! 1:1!!! Manchester United tied the score! They are back on track to win the championship!"

"That's right, 1:1, it's the 71st minute of the game, there's still time, Manchester United still have a chance!"

Yes, it is salvation! !

After scoring the goal, Rio Ferdinand looked extremely excited. He rushed into the net, picked up the football that hit the net, ran towards the center circle, and shook his fist vigorously towards the stands. He was greeted with thunderous cheers from Old Trafford.

"Aha, let's see the goal - Giggs takes the corner - Lee header hits Perry on the shoulder and rolls away - Rooney shoots again - blocked - WOWWWOWO - Leo blocked the football into the net with his butt - what a lucky goal!!" Tebbi laughed.

That's right, this is indeed a lucky goal. Manchester United finally scored after being unable to attack for a long time and wasting a few opportunities. It is lucky enough, but, considering Manchester United's three consecutive corner kicks, it has to be said that this is the result of Manchester United's own efforts.

Moreover, this kind of goal "hitting in" with the butt, to a certain extent, seems to be more cheering-it can be scored in this way, it seems that God really seems to be on his side, this is invisible , It also made the players feel a lot better.

***********
St James' Park.

Mourinho heard that there was another goal at Old Trafford, Manchester United scored, but to his surprise, it was not Li Rui who scored, but central defender Ferdinand, Mourinho O immediately thought that this should be a chance for Manchester United to set the ball, and Ferdinand came up to attack and scored.

Mourinho's guess is almost the same, but 'Magic Bird' doesn't seem to think that Ferdinand didn't hit the ball with his head, but with his butt.

In any case, Manchester United equalized the score over there, which made Chelsea dangerous again, because once Manchester United scored again, it would be useless for Chelsea to lead Newcastle by a few goals.

Mourinho turned his gaze to the scoreboard. The score on it was Newcastle 1:3 Chelsea. The game time had reached 75 minutes. Since the last round of the league kicked off at the same time, this also meant that as long as that Charlton can withstand Manchester United's mad attack for about a quarter of an hour and keep the score of 1:1 to the midfield. Chelsea will win the league championship as they wish.

Thinking of the league championship, actually pinning their hopes on a team like Charlton to block Manchester United, one can imagine how depressed 'Magic Bird' felt in his heart.

***********
Old Trafford.

As Mourinho expected, after the equalizer, the morale of the Manchester United team was boosted. Everyone saw that the league champion was waving at them, and the Manchester United team was launching a tidal offensive towards Charlton's goal.

"Lee's shot - oh god, hit the post!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo, breakthrough, change direction, shot - saved by Anderson, corner! Charlton keeper is the busiest player on the pitch right now!"

"Manchester United's corner kick, Rooney! He grabbed the ball in front of Oss, and it missed a little bit!!"

From the commentator's mouth, it can be felt that the game has entered a feverish stage. To be exact, it was the craziest time when Manchester United besieged Charlton at halftime——

It's a pity that Manchester United has been missing goals.

***********
Li Rui took the ball again. He pretended to pass the ball to Rooney. After deceiving the defensive players, Li Rui chose to break through from the center of the penalty area.

Pulling the football, smashing the ball again, and then accelerating, Li Rui was about to pass Powell's side. Powell subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to grab Li Rui, but only caught the air. Li Rui is going to forcibly break into the restricted area!

How could he just go in like this?
Powell immediately fell to the ground and stretched out his foot to hook Li Rui who was dribbling the ball.This time, the boos at Old Trafford almost pierced people's eardrums. Amid the boos, the referee Phillips only showed Powell a yellow card, which aroused Ferguson's panic on the sidelines. Great dissatisfaction, the old Scottish man roared loudly at the referee Phillips.

…………

Ferguson was yelling, "Red card! It's a red card! Everyone saw it, only you, only you colorblind! Can't you tell red from yellow? Damn you fool!"

Immediately, the referee Phillips proved with practical actions that he is definitely not 'red-yellow blind'.A bright and dazzling red card, Manchester United coach Ferguson kicked the mineral water bottle under his feet, and walked up to the stands angrily.

***********
"Aha, what did we see happen? (Lip sync, in fact, Ferguson's voice is so loud that the commentary booth can also faintly hear clearly) 'Red card! It's a red card! Everyone saw it , only you, only you colorblind! Can't you tell red from yellow? Hell, you idiot!', listen to what Sir Alex Ferguson said - the referee Phillips sent him to the After leaving the stands, the referee didn't even bother to draw another yellow card, it was a red card... This is really worse..."

"It's true that Manchester United are 1-1 Charlton now and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson was sent off in the stands when the team needed the most to win the game. It's absolutely huge. However, let’s take a look at the replay of the foul just now—Powell’s foul!! This is definitely a red card, no wonder Ferguson is so angry—today’s referee Phillips will be doomed regardless of the result of the game. Considered the least popular at Old Trafford!!"

There were boos all over the place, and the camera was aimed at the referee Phillips, who looked like the famous Italian bald referee Corina, with a serious face.

…………

After Li Rui discussed with Cristiano Ronaldo, the free kick was taken by Li Rui himself, and the referee Phillips blew his whistle after the Charltons slowly lined up the wall After a short run-up, Li Rui swung the football with his right foot, and the football successfully bypassed Charlton's tall wall, but the angle was a bit straight.He was hugged firmly by Charlton's goalkeeper An Nuosheng.

"Lee's free-kick - hugged, Charlton goalkeeper Anderson, he can do anything, he's amazing."

Li Rui glanced at the Charlton goalkeeper solemnly, turned his head and ran back, the game time is running out.

***********
In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester United continued to attack with the ball.

After receiving Fletcher's pass, Cristiano Ronaldo first ran empty along the rolling momentum of the football, which made Charlton's midfielder Sorondo run over with him, and then, Cristiano Ronaldo used the football With a knock on his heel, the football stopped in place, and he ran over by himself. Sorondo, who was defenseless, could only run after Cristiano Ronaldo. When Scholes rushed over, Scholes stabbed the football, and the football reached Cristiano Ronaldo's feet!
A beautiful wall-to-wall fit!
Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of the situation to bring the football over, and then passed the football out.

***********
Li Rui stood up with a chest, pushed the football forward, and then accelerated himself to take the football out, which made him avoid Hughes' interception. Immediately, Li Rui unloaded the football and began to drive the ball forward.

Charlton defender Powell came up.

Facing Powell, Li Rui did not slow down. His upper body swayed and his right shoulder sank, making Powell think that he was going to break through from the right, and he quickly shifted his weight over there.Li Rui kicked the football to the left beautifully with his right foot, then sped up and dexterously rushed from Powell's side towards the penalty area.

However, when Li Rui smashed the ball, it was a little stronger, and the football was a little far away from him. This made Perry, another Charlton central defender who jumped out, think that he had a chance to steal the ball. Before that, Charlton goalkeeper Anuosheng was ready to attack at any time.

Perry stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but he didn't expect Li Rui to speed up suddenly, control the football, step on the football with his right foot and pull it inside his body, stick his left foot forward, then turn around 360 degrees, his left foot again Lift up and hold the ball in front of you with the arch of your foot.

It takes a while to describe it in words, but in fact, it was just a flash, everyone saw that Li Rui passed Perry with a Marseille maneuver! ! !

This is the third time Li Rui has broken through Charlton's defender! ! !

***********
"My God—the Marseille round—"

When the commentator opened his mouth in amazement, Li Rui passed Perry and at the same time glanced at Charlton's goal from the corner of his eye. Perhaps Charlton's goalkeeper An Nuosheng was hesitating whether to attack , His position was slightly forward, Li Rui's heart moved, and before Charlton's last defender Kishshef came up to block it, he tiptoed lightly——

He chose to lob! ! !
***********
The football spun over the head of Charlton defender Kishshev, who had been saved, and spun towards the goal.

Charlton's goalkeeper Anuosheng was blocked by his own defender Kishshef, but his reaction was extremely quick. He took two steps back in a row, tried his best to jump up, and tried to lift the football off the crossbar.

However, he didn't catch it. When he was falling backwards, he saw the football spinning past his left hand, then fell, stuck to the crossbar, and got into the net. Then, there were footballs and balls in his ears. The sound of the net rubbing...

The entire Old Trafford stadium is quiet, extremely quiet, and it is extremely quiet at this time! !

At this moment, it was so quiet! !

***********
"IT'S——GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tabby roared desperately at the top of his throat! ! !

Li Rui's eyes were fixed on the arc kicked by his right foot. He could even hear his own heartbeat. When he saw the football fall, it slipped into the ball from above Charlton goalkeeper An Nuosheng's left hand. When hitting the net, he felt his blood vessels explode with a bang, and he flipped on the spot. After landing, he almost hysterically pulled the hem of his jersey downward. Li Rui started running on the court. While roaring, he let out a crazy roar that he didn't know what it meant! ! ! ! !

The Old Trafford stadium was also boiling for the second time in this game, the climax of boiling. The moment the ball hit the net, all the fans jumped up and cheered loudly. They were shouting:
"GOOOOOOOAL!!!—Champions!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!—Champions!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!—Champions!!!!!!"

***********
PS: To say a few words, for Li Rui's career, what is the loss to Barcelona? ! !It was completely rejected, words such as 'garbage', 'not at all', 'scum', etc. came out, and those vests kept jumping up and down, asking, 'Why don't you TJ', I really Damn speechless, day, the grades of this book, I can persist until now without TJ, I admire myself, the grades of competitive essays are not very good, or, it is because my fucking level is too scumbag, but, hold on , insist on coming, just because I really like football, I really like it!

Otherwise, such a small amount of remuneration would be enough for electricity and internet bills. I really don’t know what some people think. I feel like I wish everyone would be TJ, so that it would be clean, and the world of Datong would be complete, wouldn’t it?
I took the train for a day today. I didn’t even eat dinner when I got off the train. Until now, I finally managed to publish a chapter. However, when I opened the webpage and saw those words, I was really hurt.If you don't code, you won't starve to death. If you code, you really don't have much money...

Those who made trouble, all read D posts, really disgusting people.
