Chapter 360 Manchester United in the new season
When Li Rui called, Rooney had already returned to his home in Manchester, and England, which had been eliminated by Portugal, was still stranded in Germany. This team will have high hopes every time, and every time it is a disappointing Three Lions. Will return to England sadly one day later. The England captain Beckham was substituted in the game. The scene of throwing up on the sidelines because of his hard work is just like this England team, so pale, so weak, so sad.

"Don't mention that guy to me, I would never play with that kind of guy."

Hearing Rooney's words on the other end of the phone, Li Rui smiled wryly. He still underestimated the little fat man's temper. Rooney, who was getting angry, didn't even sell the face of Li Rui as a friend and partner. The name of Cristiano Ronaldo categorically interrupted Li Rui's words.

Li Rui had no choice but to change the subject. He knew that the little fat man had a stubborn temper. If he mentioned this matter again, it would only intensify the little fat man's anger. The two chatted a few words about England's performance in this cup. Speaking of this, The little fat man complained again. He thought that neither Owen nor Crouch cooperated with him very well. In the end, Rooney said leisurely. It is also within reach.

Li Rui quickly stopped this topic. The 2006 World Cup has become a thing of the past. Li Rui doesn't want to get entangled in this issue. He just wants to play well in the club and strive to realize his dream of reaching the top of Europe as soon as possible.

***********
Hanging up the phone, Li Rui originally planned to call Cristiano Ronaldo, but after thinking about it, he still didn't press the send button, even though the phone number had already been entered. In comparison, Li Rui and Cristiano Ronaldo The relationship between Ronaldo and Rooney is a little more distant than the relationship between him and Rooney. The little fat man has a hot temper, although he is also young and vigorous, but as long as he has a temper with him, he can become a good friend.The arrogance in Cristiano Ronaldo's bones, coupled with the fact that the two have been secretly competing for the core of Manchester United's offense, also makes the relationship between the two not too harmonious.

Of course, this is just a normal competitive relationship, and the two have a tacit understanding on the field.

************
Li Rui watched the 2006 World Cup final at his home in Manchester. On the day before the final, he and Jessica returned to Manchester. At Manchester Airport, Li Rui’s appearance caused quite a stir and he was eliminated in England After being out of the game, the issue of England's weak offense was brought up again by the media. At this time, some media also raised it again sourly. Rooney in Manchester United is far more threatening than Rooney in the England national team...

Of course, at the airport, what Li Rui was asked the most was the story about the conflict between Manchester United No. 9 and Manchester United No. 7 in the World Cup match between England and Portugal. Some critics also said that It is conclusively stated that between Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, there must be someone who leaves Manchester United, and it is almost recognized that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave. Come out in favor of Cristiano.

"The conflict between Wayne and Cristiano? In my opinion, this is not a problem. In the World Cup, the two have their own masters, but in the club, the two are teammates. This is the difference."

"Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid? You should ask Cristiano's agent, but I think he will stay. He likes Carrington."

"Wayne? He's great, the red card (in the World Cup)? He's a scrappy guy."

At the airport, Li Rui also began to get used to being hypocritical in front of the media. He and Jessica got into their Bentley, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared into the sunset in Manchester. At this time, the sky was getting late. Infinitely good.

***********
The final of the 2006 World Cup made Li Rui sigh.

Before the final, no one thought that there would be such a dramatic and tragic scene in the final of this World Cup, and no one thought that the legendary career of a green king would end in such a controversial way.

The captain of the French team, Zinedine Zidane, was sent off by the referee because he headed Materazzi in extra time in the final.

When seeing this scene in front of the TV, Jessica lay in Li Rui's arms, covering her small mouth and exclaiming. Because of Li Rui, Jessica is also relatively close to a superstar like Zidane. Understood, she did not expect such an unbelievable scene to appear in the final of the World Cup.

Different from Jessica's exclamation, what Li Rui felt was a kind of deep sadness pervading in his chest. As a football player, Li Rui understands better than anyone else. That longing on top of the world, that longing in the depths of the soul... What the hell happened.Zidane will make such a crazy move, with the head of Materazzi!

This top, how could he not know that this is a farewell to the World Cup!
Farewell to the green field! !

This is the last performance of Zidane's career!
He could have been gorgeous!

When Zidane passed the Hercules Cup with his head bowed and walked into the player's tunnel with his head bowed in the camera, Li Rui's heart trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

In the end, the game entered a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, the French team finally lost to Italy in the penalty shootout. Before the game, there was a lot of trouble because of the phone gate incident. It was a bit of a distressed team and was not favored. However, Italy, relying on a strong team and a concrete defense, defeated all opponents and climbed to the top of the world every four years.

When Cannavaro held the Hercules Cup as the captain, Li Rui lightly pressed the remote control and turned off the TV. No matter how good the championship is, it belongs to someone else! !

***********
Just when the World Cup had just come to an end and everyone was talking about the birth of a new king, Manchester United officially announced their first signings this summer.

England international Carrick, who has just finished his bad journey in the World Cup, officially joined Manchester United with a worth of 1860 million pounds.

Li Rui knew that he had Carrick as a teammate from the TV news when he was eating breakfast this morning. In the TV screen, Ferguson accompanied Carrick to the press conference with a red face.

"Michael is a good guy with great strength. His arrival will provide great help for Manchester United to compete for the championship!"

In fact, Ferguson introduced Carrick as Roy Keane's substitute and successor. After captain Keane and the team suddenly announced their breakup, Manchester United's midfielder position has not been very impressive. Don't worry, Fletcher is not yet able to satisfy Ferguson, and O'Shea, who occasionally plays cameos, has also proved to be not very good at this position.

At the age of 25, the momentum continues to rise, which makes people optimistic about the new iron waist of the post-Keane era.Carrick played 38 times for Tottenham in 35 league games last season, only one was replaced, reaching the 'iron man standard', Carrick will also add hardness to Manchester United's midfield.

Last season, Carrick assisted 6 times and scored 2 goals in terms of game statistics, and one of them was the winning goal to help Tottenham Hotspur win. In terms of offense, Carrick performed quite well. Of course, what Ferguson Ferguson favored was still his ability to defend and control the situation. He came out of the West Ham youth training camp and has good strength in tackling and ball control.In the fifth round of the Premier League last season, Carrick defeated the England vice-captain in a one-on-one dialogue with Gerrard and won the best match.

The English media are also cheering for Manchester United's big acquisition, which has also diverted the attention of the media to a certain extent. It's that nonsense thing anymore.

***********
For Carrick, Li Rui was quite impressed. In the game against Tottenham Hotspur, the England international's active tackles and interceptions made Li Rui feel Carrick's strength. There is still a big gap between Keane, but anyway, he can be regarded as a capable player. Of course, Li Rui welcomes the team's introduction of Carrick.

If the team's defense can be more stable, the players on the offensive line will have more confidence. In modern football, offense and defense have long been closely integrated.

***********
When facing the media, Ferguson has been denying that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the team. He interpreted the conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney because of the match between Portugal and England in the World Cup as a grudge among young people——

"I know Wayne, he's a good guy, and I know Cristiano, he's always serious about the game, in my opinion, there's no conflict, it's just two young guys who are equally motivated The misunderstanding caused by the desire to win, what happened before that red card? He reminds me of my son's fight with his little friend when he was a child..."

However, Rooney, who was overwhelmed by anger, still did not release the "meaning" of reconciliation that the old Scottish man wanted to see, which made Ferguson very headache. In Ferguson's view, Manchester United with Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui, There is no need to worry about offense. After last season's run-in, this season, Manchester United will have a blowout season on the offensive line. He will not allow any accidents to occur in this gradually formed offensive line. of.

As for Real Madrid's offer to Cristiano Ronaldo at this time?The Scottish old man threw the quotation into the shredder at that time. For Real Madrid, Ferguson has never had much favor.

***********
The "contradictions" between Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be resolved in a short period of time, and Ferguson also has to focus on the planning and transformation of the team's new season.

First look at the line of defense.The most reassuring position for Ferguson is the goalkeeper, and at the same time, the most uneasy position for Ferguson is also the goalkeeper's position.Van der Sar's condition seems to be getting better and better. The Dutch veteran has no problems with his condition due to his age. This makes the old Scottish man feel relieved. Desa is injured or suspended. Foster on the bench has proved to be unbearable. As for the United States not talking about Howard, the Yankee's butter hand has made Manchester United fans at Old Trafford unable to bear it anymore. Therefore, Once Van der Sar is injured, Manchester United will be in crisis in this position of goalkeeper. Therefore, in this summer, finding a qualified substitute for Van der Sar is also the primary problem that Manchester United needs to solve.

Ferguson quickly found the target, West Bromwich Albion's Polish goalkeeper Kuzkazak, the Polish goalkeeper has been playing in the middle and lower reaches of the relegation team, and the benefit of playing in the relegation team for a long time is that Kuzkazak Ke has more opportunities to play against the Premier League killers. The Pole once made them suffer: last season, he let the Liverpool artillerymen led by Gerrard and Crouch only score one point in 28 shots. Less than one meter away, Kuzkazak caught the inevitable push of Wigan Hessa Roberts. He was once named the best save of the month in the Premier League. When facing Aston Villa, Kuzkazak also performed well, defusing Villa's attacks three times in a row in the blink of an eye.

Of course, what is more important is that Ferguson valued Kuzka Zak's stability other than his lack of ambition. "Vigor and ambition" are not the characteristics that an "ideal substitute goalkeeper" should have.From this point of view, the Pole, who has rich experience and is willing to be the No. 2 goalkeeper, is very suitable as a substitute for Van der Sar.

In the end, after Manchester United sent Irish central defender McShane, who was unable to play at Old Trafford, to West Bromwich Albion, and sent substitute goalkeeper Foster to West Bromwich Albion, they finally got their wish. West Bromwich Albion have loaned Polish goalkeeper Kuzkazak.

***********
After the position of the goalkeeper is settled, Ferguson is actually very satisfied with the defense and does not need to make any adjustments. In the eyes of the old Scottish man, Ferdinand, Brown and Vidic are all in good condition and can form an internal competition In the fierce small group, O'Shea and Sylvester can also make temporary guest appearances, and Ferguson is very relieved about this position.

At the left-back position, Evra has gradually grown up after a season of training in the Premier League, while Heinze is in good form in the World Cup, with a tough body and abundant physical fitness, coupled with rich Based on experience, experts are not optimistic about the prospects of the Argentine in the new season. In addition, the veteran Sylvester can also play in the position of left back in addition to being a cameo at the center back.

Ferguson is quite satisfied with the position of right back. Captain Gary Neville's offensive and defensive balance is reassuring. In the World Cup, Gary Neville's performance is still qualified. In addition, O'Shea can also play right back, so, The Scottish old man doesn't need to make too many changes to the defense.

On the defensive line, apart from the introduction of the Polish goalkeeper, Manchester United did not make any moves. Instead, they sent away a few players. Another substitute goalkeeper, Howard, was loaned to Everton. It is rare to get the American defender Speck who played. Te also moved to West Ham United for £75.

***********
In other positions, Manchester United also continued to lose weight. Injuries and sluggishness caused South African veteran Fortune to bid farewell to Manchester United, while two very powerful teenagers Piqué and Martin were loaned to Zaragoza and Glasgow Rangers respectively. The team accumulates experience.

In addition, Dong Fangzhuo's return to Manchester United and Li Rui's China Shuangsha, which has been hyped by the domestic media, has also been proven impossible. Dong Fangzhuo's labor certificate has not yet been obtained, so he will be at least during the winter break. Currently, Dong Fangzhuo will stay in Antwerp, Belgium.

However, at present, it seems that even if Dong Fangzhuo comes to the Manchester United first team, he may not have a bright future. Li Rui is the main force that cannot be shaken. Rooney and Cassano will compete for another starting position. On the bench, Italian teenager Zhu Sepe Rossi will also get his chance, and Norwegian veteran Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a logical addition.

And Reuters specifically mentioned the little fat Rooney, thinking that in the new season, Rooney will be more 'fierce' than last season-"Rooney has always maintained a pure interest in football and victory under the careful 'care' of Ferguson." He always seems to be "hungry" and wants to swallow his opponent." In addition, Rooney's girlfriend Colleen is always in the limelight when the media is almost closely following his private life, and Rooney's appearance On the contrary, there is less and less foreign news. In the eyes of the media, this is already a kind of success.

Of course, there is also Li Rui, the BBC said, 'No one will forget that after a near-perfect debut season, Li will be more hungry and thirsty, and he will help Manchester United on all fronts towards the championship. Make an impact. '

It can be said that on the front line, Manchester United can be said to be strong.

***********
In the midfield, the combination of Giggs, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick and Park Ji-sung is still very reasonable, and Ferguson is quite satisfied with the midfield.

Now, the only wild card is Cristiano Ronaldo. The Scottish old man insists that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford, but the media doesn't see it that way. The elite of Fleet Street have been hyping Cristiano Ronaldo News about leaving Manchester United.

However, there are also those who think that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United. McCarthy, a columnist for The Times, said that Manchester United will not change No. 7 on the grounds that "Sir Alex Ferguson will certainly not let him go." The number seven left, the situation now reminds me of David Beckham at the 1998 World Cup in France, when everyone was talking about David leaving Old Trafford, but, as it turned out, David was in this stadium Had a glory days—'.

In McCarthy's view, "Manchester United No. 7" has always had the tradition of "sinners first and heroes later". At the earliest time, Cantona kicked the Crystal Palace fans. Beckham after that - now, who can guarantee that Cristiano Ronaldo will not continue the 'good' tradition of Manchester United's No 1998...

***********
Of course, the transfer market is in full swing, and no one would think that the door to Manchester United's transfer market has been closed. Now, the media is hyping Ferguson's favor for Villarreal's Spanish international Senna.

In the last season, Villarreal in La Liga can be said to have surprised everyone. In the Champions League, this team from a small town in the Valencia region finally reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. It was a pity that they were eliminated by Arsenal in the semi-finals.

And Villarreal can have such an excellent expression, the Spanish international Senna is indispensable. In fact, Senna is a dual nationality player of Brazil and Spain. However, the Spanish national team coach Aragones has already called Senna into the country. team, he will play for Spain.

Senna's skills are delicate, the interception is not big but the effect is very good, and in this position that emphasizes ball distribution and organization, Senna has shared a lot of Riquelme's work.This also makes Ferguson very fond of the Spanish international. He hopes to find a player in the midfield who can help Cristiano Ronaldo share the pressure of offensive organization, and Senna is obviously suitable.

However, Villarreal has rejected Manchester United's initial offer of 1500 million euros, which also makes Manchester United, which was not well funded in the transfer market, retreat a bit. Costing most of Manchester United's funds, this offer of 2360 million euros is already the largest fund that the old Scottish man can squeeze out.

************
On August [-]st, the Manchester United team came to Amsterdam, the famous "sex capital" in the Netherlands. Of course, they didn't come here to be chic. The Manchester United team came to participate in the warm-up match of the Amsterdam Invitational. This is also before the start of the Charity Shield. The most important warm-up match for Manchester United.

After the Amsterdam Invitational, Manchester United will travel thousands of miles to South Africa to play commercial games. However, the value of commercial games cannot be compared with such a warm-up match.

Jessica originally planned to come to Amsterdam with Li Rui. It wasn't that Jessica was 'worried' about her boyfriend, but that the two of them were now in a tight spot. After getting the family's final acquiescence to interact with Li Rui , the Hollywood female star completely let go, and Li Rui was surrounded by deep affection, and she was unwilling to separate even for a moment.

However, since Ferguson has always disliked the girlfriends or wives of the players on the team, Li Rui still persuaded Jessica to stay in Manchester. Although Jessica was a bit reluctant, she still obeyed her boyfriend, but she I'm not idle either. "Ten Cheap Things in Love" was released in London, and Jessica didn't plan to attend it. She also has time to attend the screening at this time, which can be regarded as a surprise for Jessica's fans.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo did not come to Amsterdam with the team. Manchester United No. 7 was found to have a knee injury on his right leg, which was caused by fatigue. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo stayed at the Carrington training base in Manchester. However, the media didn't see it that way. They interpreted this incident as a signal that Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo really couldn't coexist. News about Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer began to become popular again.

***********
Although Cristiano Ronaldo did not come to Amsterdam with the team, Manchester United's lineup is relatively neat. During training, Ferguson also deliberately tried the team's offensive routine without Cristiano Ronaldo. , This normal tactical exercise, in the eyes of media reporters watching Manchester United training, seems to have become a signal that Cristiano Ronaldo will eventually transfer to Manchester United.

For this kind of media speculation, Ferguson's tone is very strong, insisting that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave, "Cristiano's future is in Manchester United, he is very good here, some small awkwardness is normal for young people, It’s nothing to be surprised about — all of this, it’s all about (media) hype.”

Ferguson's remarks also offended the media in England. However, the old Scottish man didn't seem to care about this. The stories between him and the media were nothing new.

***********
The sun is very good, and the Netherlands is a low-lying area, but the sun is not stingy at all. Li Rui is lying on the turf of the Amsterdam stadium, listening to the little fat man telling him the story of the World Cup. Next, the team was also eliminated by Portugal in that game, but this was Rooney's first World Cup, and the little fat man still cherishes and misses it very much. In addition, Rooney intends to play tricks in front of Li Rui, so the little fat man talks When recalling the bits and pieces of the World Cup experience, there is still light in the eyes.

Li Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white towel, and an ice pack was tied on his leg. His left leg was a little injured, but it was not a big problem. He heard what Rooney said here, saliva flying, curled his lips, but, I still can't help but listen, for the World Cup, it is Li Rui's regret after all. In fact, the absence of the European Golden Boot is also considered a regret for this World Cup. German football emperor Beckenbauer said, "Li Rui was not able to come. To Germany, that's the loss of the Cup."

Not to mention whether this sentence is flattering or not, but compared to what the Germans said, "The absence of the Chinese team is a loss for Germany's World Cup", this sentence does not sound harsh after all. After all, Li Rui His strength and fame lie there——

Premier League champions, Champions League Golden Boots, Premier League Golden Boots, European Golden Boots.

***********
However, the focus of the story happened after the training.

After the training, when they returned to the hotel where they stayed, Li Rui and Rooney went out together and planned to go shopping. Both of them are fans of video games, and they wanted to go to a famous video game city in Amsterdam to pick up some antiques. , the two were mobbed by reporters from England.

Of course, the most frequently asked question is the 'contradictory' between Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. Regarding this matter, the old Scottish man has already issued a 'ghost order' in the Manchester United team, and no one is allowed to be interviewed by the media. This matter was mentioned at the time, and Rooney, one of the parties involved, was strictly required by Ferguson to remain silent.

Therefore, the reporters couldn't get anything out of Rooney and Li Rui.

The doorman hailed a taxi for the two of them and it stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Li Rui got into the car and beckoned Rooney to get in the car quickly.

…………

"Wayne, do you have anything to say about Mr. McClaren?" The reporter asked suddenly. The new England coach McClaren had officially assumed his new post two days ago.That's why the reporters asked this question.

There is nothing wrong with this question, but the little fat man's outspokenness can always bring 'surprises' to everyone.

"He is a very experienced and capable man. We are all looking forward to the future of England. Of course, if the head coach can let me be the captain (of the England national team), it will be even more perfect." The little fat man has no eyelids Blink said these words.

Wayne Rooney recommended himself as England's new captain?The reporter was obviously overjoyed, he was even more excited than winning the lottery, just asked casually, this little fat man actually gave such an amazing surprise! !

"Wayne, are you sure you're talking about being captain?"

"The captain of the England national team?!"

Li Rui was in the taxi, and when he saw the reporters getting excited as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, he frowned and had a bad premonition. What shouldn't be said.

Li Rui quickly got out of the car, pulled Rooney away from the reporter's circle, and stuffed him into the car. He also got in quickly and asked the driver to drive quickly.

When the car started, Li Rui heard reporters chasing after him shouting words like '***captain***'.

"Captain?" Li Rui rubbed his nose and looked at Rooney, "What's going on, Wayne."

"Uh, I told those guys that I want to be the captain of the England team." The little fat man said with an indifferent expression.

Li Rui's mouth was wide open, and he looked at his friend as if he was looking at an alien, "Wayne... are you sure you're not joking?"

Seeing Rooney shaking his head, Li Rui smiled wryly, "I think we'd better go back to the hotel quickly—the boss is probably losing his temper."

***********
Just as Li Rui expected, when the two guys returned to the hotel from the video game city, Sir Alex Ferguson was furious. Manchester United assistant coach Queiroz quickly closed the door, otherwise the whole hotel could hear Manchester United. The roar of the godfather.

Just now, when a reporter asked Ferguson what he thought of Wayne Rooney recommending himself as the captain of the New England team, the head coach of Manchester United was taken aback. In times of trouble the old Scotchman turns blue.

After Li Rui and Rooney returned to the hotel, they were picked up by Ferguson and reprimanded for a while. Although Li Rui suffered from the disaster, he wisely chose to remain silent when he saw the boss's 'hairdryer' booming.

After this incident, Ferguson issued a notice within the Manchester United team to prohibit the players from accepting all media interviews...

***********
In this noisy situation, Manchester United ushered in the first game of the Amsterdam Invitational.

Manchester United's opponent in the first game of the Amsterdam Invitational was Porto from the Portuguese Super League. In this game, Li Rui also scored his first goal in the warm-up match of the new season. However, this game The focus is not on him, but on his strike partner Wayne Rooney.

After talking out loudly that he would be the new captain of the England national team, the little fat man got into trouble again in the game, although this time, the little fat man was indeed a bit wronged.

Thirty-four days after being sent off with a red card in the World Cup match against Portugal, Rooney was sentenced to death by the referee at the Amsterdam Invitational.It is a dramatic coincidence that this time he died in the hands of the Portuguese again, but the protagonist changed from the Portuguese national team to the Portuguese powerhouse Porto.

***********
In the 12th minute of the game, Li Rui received a pass from Ryan Giggs and beat Pepe to score a header in the penalty area, helping Manchester United take the lead.

In the 21st minute of the game, Scholes' long-range goal helped Manchester United take a 2-0 lead. Seeing the team's excellent offensive line, Ferguson was also grinning on the sidelines.

Just 5 minutes later, Rooney scored a goal and expanded the score to 3:0. This score was unexpected by everyone before the game. The commentator also repeatedly marveled at the powerful attacking power of Manchester United.

The camera was also aimed at Ferguson, and the old Scottish man's old face smiled into a blooming chrysanthemum.

However, towards the end of the first half, the old Scottish man couldn't laugh.

***********
In the 41st minute, Rooney competed for the top with the Brazilian defender Pepe, also surnamed Ferreira, who also shoveled himself before the World Cup. As a result, his right hand touched the opponent's face, and the latter fell to the ground in pain.

Rooney smiled and shook his hand at the referee, indicating that he did not mean it.But when his head was raised to that familiar angle, his eyes immediately revealed the familiar despair and disbelief—red card, red card again.

Rooney obviously couldn't accept the red card. He explained to the referee, and Li Rui also rushed to Pepe who was too lying on the ground with an angry face. He yelled at Pepe, "You coward, you poor actor."

Li Rui could see clearly that although Rooney was suspected of subconscious elbowing, Pepe's expression was too exaggerated, even the commentator who commented on the game shook his head, "Ferreira is a little too involved ..."

Although the whole Manchester United team was very angry about this penalty, the penalty cannot be changed. Rooney was sent off with a red card, and the little fat man applauded and booed at the referee after the referee showed the red card. This may also lead to Rooney being added after the game. Punishment, if that's the case, Manchester United's warm-up match is really not worth it.

It was Rooney's fourth red card in his short and tumultuous career, and his third in 11 months.From being injured by Portuguese defender Ferreira before the World Cup, to receiving a red card in the World Cup match against Portugal, until this time because of the red card humiliation of the Portuguese opponent again, Rooney found that the name "Portugal" has virtually become his career A spell that made him unable to break free no matter where he went.

***********
"I thought he would award a free kick, but I didn't expect that he would drive me off the field directly." Rooney complained after the game. He felt that he had become a thorn in the eyes of the referees.

Li Rui patted the little fat man on the shoulder with a bit of 'sympathy', and said unkindly, "Do you need to hire a wizard? You seem to be at odds with the Portuguese."

And this red card incident has far more impact on Rooney. This red card happened in less than 24 hours after he asked England's new coach McClaren to "appoint himself as the new captain of the national team".

McLaren was also in the stands at the Amsterdam Stadium for this game, and McLaren was there to watch the England international, including Rooney, but saw the best and worst of Rooney in one night .In the 26th minute, he broke Pepe's stop, broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot with his instep from 8 meters in front of the back door to score the team's third goal.

But less than 20 minutes later, he was sent off with a red card.This time, it was Pepe who 'had a relationship' with Rooney.

Being able to make such an extreme performance in a game, McLaren doesn't know how to evaluate Rooney.After the game, when interviewed by the BBC, the new England national team coach McClaren also gave his opinion after the game: "This is typical of him, he always likes to push himself to the forefront. He offered to ask Captain, then he was fighting and now he has a red card."

***********
However, as the Manchester United coach, Ferguson certainly would not just say something like this lightly. The old Scottish man who "protected the calf" bombarded the referee's penalty against Rooney after the game.

"It's totally unfair Rooney was sent off and we're now worried he's going to be suspended. Their players are taking full advantage of the referee and I hope the FA will show some common sense in dealing with this," Ferguson said. I don't know what the referee was thinking, just before that a Porto player elbowed Solskjaer and he didn't even get a yellow card. I don't see any difference between the two incidents, The only difference is because one of them is called Wayne Rooney."

Sure enough, on the second day, the result of the punishment came out. Because of insulting the referee and 'elbowing' the opponent, Manchester United No. 9 Rooney was suspended for three games. This also means that Rooney will miss the Charity Shield game and the former Premier League team Two league rounds.

…………

"Don't be afraid, my goal counts for you." When the penalty result came out, Li Rui patted the fat man on the shoulder to comfort his teammates.

And everyone did not expect that Li Rui, who said he did it, is in such a good state this season...
