Although it seems that there is still a big gap between Carrick and the former Manchester United captain, Carrick is now on the rise of his career. Generally speaking, the media and fans regard Ferguson This signing is still satisfactory.

After Carrick stole the ball, he looked up and observed the situation in front of him. He started to take the ball forward. The Celtics players did not come up to press too hard. Strachan’s tactic for the Celtics was close The distance of 35 meters from the goal began to press in an all-round way, and no full-court pressing strategy was implemented.

Lennon followed Carrick's footsteps and ran for nearly 20 meters like a bodyguard. He saw that Carrick pushed the ball with his right foot and passed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo. He turned around and rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo. past.

***********
When Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball, he was pushed by Shunsuke Nakamura who was running to interfere, and a staggered stop was a bit too big.

He took a small step with his left foot, took the left foot as the axis, and pulled the ball with the inside of his right foot. Knock the football forward and start dribbling.

"Beautiful! After this summer, we see that Cristiano has become more confident than last season." The commentator also praised Cristiano Ronaldo. After Manchester United came to Manchester United on the 7th, every season All have made great progress.However, maybe Cristiano Ronaldo would like to sigh with emotion, "He is both born and bright". If there is no Li Rui, the Portuguese should be the absolute core of Manchester United. He is the kind of player who needs to formulate tactics around him. However, now With Li Rui, the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo in the team has been 'weakened' a lot - of course, this cannot obliterate Cristiano Ronaldo's super strength.

Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo continued to drive forward with the ball, Naylor forced up. As the Celtics' left back, he faced Cristiano Ronaldo in this game.

Naylor knew that the kid in front of him moved very fast and was difficult to defend. He almost used both hands and feet, pulling and pulling, with the purpose of interfering with Cristiano Ronaldo's dribbling.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo firmly controlled the ball under his feet. He flicked and hooked the ball with his left foot. Le staggered and shifted his center of gravity again, but Cristiano Ronaldo's feet were very fast, and immediately smashed the ball to the left again. Now Naylor had no choice, and Cristiano Ronaldo accelerated from Naylor's side When it was wiped away, the Celtics left back wanted to chase, but his foot slipped, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell down.

The sky above the entire stadium was full of applause and admiration. Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Naylor these few times were quite chic, and the slow motion also played back the movements of Cristiano Ronaldo just now. The frequency of foot movement is extremely fast, and the movement is abnormal.

***********
Li Rui was in front of the penalty area. He was waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo's pass. Beside Li Rui was Gravesen who was tightly entangled with him.

Cristiano Ronaldo pulled the ball on the spot. After avoiding the interference of Celtics defender Bald, he swayed out of the shot, raised his right foot, and looked at the goal.

Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo raised his thighs at the entrance of the penalty area and prepared to shoot, Telf, who rushed out to defend, closed his eyes tightly and flew to block the past, which made him look quite heroic.You know, it will definitely be uncomfortable to be hit by a strong volley from Cristiano Ronaldo. You know, the power of Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shots is also great! !
At this time, Naylor, who was chasing back frantically, also shoveled towards the football at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo from the other side.

At this time, the camera can even capture the tricky smile on Cristiano Ronaldo's face.

'You've been fooled. '

Manchester United's No. 7's high-slung thigh was gently lowered. When it reached the ground, its calf suddenly exerted force. The football was provoked without warning and flew towards the penalty area.

Almost at the same time, Li Rui suddenly turned around and ran from Gravesen's side towards the penalty area like a loach. His explosive power was so great that Gravesen wanted to reach out and grab Li Rui's body. The jersey, but felt his hands slip, Li Rui jumped out and rushed out!
***********
Shaking off Gravesen's interference, Li Rui raised his head just as the football fell from his head. He swung his right foot, and when the football fell to the height of his knee, he volleyed directly.

After the football was drawn, it flew towards the goal with great force. Although the Celtics goalkeeper Borush tried his best to save it, he was really powerless against such a shot——

The football passed between his hands, got into the net, and slammed the snow-white net into a big bag.

Can he break his record of 15 goals scored in a single season in the Champions League?...Anyway, the goal is scored, it's a good start!!! Congratulations to Li Rui! !"

"GOOOAAAAL!!!!!! Powerful shot, Lee's shot was brilliant, Borush couldn't do anything - and of course, that brilliant pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, who put both Celtic defenders in the same position Just kidding, even poor Borush probably thought Cristiano Ronaldo was going to shoot from long range... The goal was beautiful - the pass was also wonderful, and the wonderful goal was matched!!!!"

Seeing the goal, Ferguson shook his fist fiercely, and the water in the open bottle of mineral water he was holding in his hand spilled out, the old coach didn't realize it.

***********
After scoring the goal, Li Rui looked unusually flamboyant. He first turned around in a circle and swung his arms vigorously towards the goal. Wesen ran over, and in the camera, Gravesen's face was extremely ugly, and Li Rui twisted and flashed past him.

When he ran to the stands where the home fans were standing, Li Rui looked at the cheering stands and his portrait fluttering in the wind, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, yes, it was a sense of satisfaction, he liked this feeling, Enjoy this feeling!

He scored a goal, and the fans were very happy. Seeing this happiness, Li Rui was also very happy! ! !

Li Rui grabbed the front of his shirt with his right hand, held up the Manchester United team logo on the upper corner of the jersey, then lowered his head, and gave a hug to his chest amidst countless raised hands and deafening cheers under the stands of Manchester United fans. Emblem A passionate kiss.

This later became the most classic scene in the memory of countless Manchester United fans. After the classic continuous breakthrough with Cristiano Ronaldo, he deceived the Celtics' two defenders and the goalkeeper's fake shot and Li Rui's domineering pass. The volley shot together has become a classic shot in the history of Manchester United, and it will be mentioned by Manchester United fans all over the world many years later.

A classic that is enough to make many people reminisce and move for many years!
***********
Li Rui's goal ignited the long-suppressed passion at Old Trafford. From the very beginning of the game, the whole stadium was immersed in an atmosphere of passion and restlessness. Manchester United fans never doubted that their players would enter The ball, I just didn't expect the goal to be so sexy! !
The live broadcast was also cheering: "31st minute of the game, the score is Manchester United—"

All the fans responded in unison, "——1!!!!"

"The Celtics—"

"The one who scored the goal was - Rui -"

"——Li!!!!!!————李！！！——李瑞!!!" The fans chanted Li Rui's name three times, and at the third time, Li Rui lowered his head and kissed him on his chest. On the front crest, this completely detonated the entire stadium. Even from a few miles away from Old Trafford, the earth-shattering roar can still be felt, and the earth seems to be shaking! ! !
***********
"Li Rui! This is his 16th goal in the Champions Cup! Who would have thought that this Chinese guy scored these 16 goals in only one season and one game. According to Li Rui's speed, there will always be One day, he will also break the current scoring record in the European arena! The future belongs to the young people, Li Rui's!!!!" Su Dong shouted at the top of his voice, how many years later, his words "the future belongs to the young people "It's Li Rui's" is still remembered by the majority of Chinese fans. This is also a classic moment.

On the court, the cheers were still coming and going. After scoring a goal, Li Rui was in a good mood. He still did not forget to 'comfort' his partner Cassano. Cassano's performance today was not good, and it can't even be regarded as Qualified, of course, the game only went on to the 31st minute of the first half, and Cassano still had time to perform.

"To be precise, Manchester United's performance today can only be regarded as mediocre. The Celtics' press forced the game into a 'hand-to-hand combat'. Up to now, the Manchester United team has only three real shots, and the Celtics even have only one. One-footed shot or long-range shot, fortunately, in Manchester United's three-footed shot, Li Rui scored a goal, this is the role of a star!!" Su Dong's voice was still ringing out excitedly, and the Chinese fans who stayed up late in front of the TV one by one They were all very excited. At this time, they wished that Su Dong could talk non-stop, that would be cool enough.

This is also the reason why Chinese fans choose to stay up late to watch the game and Li Rui's game. Only such a game will make the fans really feel refreshed, proud and proud!

Proud from the bottom of my heart!
At the same time, the comments about the goal and about Li Rui on the Internet also began to be refreshed rapidly.

This time is the festival of Chinese fans!Although in the land of China, it is already midnight at this time... the passion is burning.

***********
Strachan patted himself on the head violently. He glanced at Li Rui with a complex expression. Out of his understanding of Li Rui, he had made enough preparations for Li Rui's marking, but he never thought of letting Li Rui enter. ball up.

However, there is really no way for this goal. Although Strachan is violent, it is not unreasonable. Of course, he can see that everyone was attracted by Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough for this goal. Even Strachan thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would shoot from a long distance just now, and no one thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would pass such a wonderful pass under such circumstances—and Li Rui’s The timing of the forward thrust when turning around and getting rid of it was also well grasped.

"This kid." Strachan smiled wryly.

Six minutes later, Li Rui once again made his "friend" Strachan break out in a cold sweat on the sidelines.

***********
Manchester United attacked, Scholes controlled the ball and was in the frontcourt. At the same time, Li Rui and Cassano suddenly changed positions. Li Rui ran to the right, and at the same time Scholes passed the ball. Arrived.

It was a diagonal through ball against the turf. Li Rui did not catch the ball, but ran along the direction of the ball, and then adjusted his body direction. A very sudden volley!
The shot was quite sudden, and the football rolled quickly against the turf towards the front post of the goal.

The Celtic goalkeeper Borush didn't expect that Li Rui would shoot directly from such a small angle, and the quality of the shot was quite good.

Borush fell to the ground beautifully, and his palm did not touch the football. However, by a strange coincidence, the football was slightly blocked by Borush's lagging right leg, and then continued to roll, almost out of the baseline.

Although the goal was not scored, the shot was quite exciting, and the fans also gave warm applause for Li Rui's shot.

"Lee's shot is very threatening! Corner kick! Manchester United won their second corner kick after the start of the game. Manchester United showed more aggressiveness after scoring."

"Oh, it's a pity. If this shot is a goal, this goal is exciting enough."

Cristiano Ronaldo's harmless corner was hugged by Borush.

***********
In the 42nd minute of the game, the Celtics finally had a threatening attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Cassano sought a wall-to-wall cooperation, but the two failed to form a tacit understanding, and the football was cut off by Celtic defender Bald.

Bald then drove the football forward with a big foot. After Shunsuke Nakamura received the header from Snow, he padded his chest and dribbled the ball two steps forward. With a through ball, the football reached Heatherlink's feet. , the latter faced Carrick's attack and hurriedly divided the football, and he himself was pushed to the ground by Carrick.

The referee Edner raised his hands horizontally, indicating that the attack is favorable, and the game continued.

Lennon, who was on the wing, moved the football forward, dodged Heinze's attack, suddenly cut inside, and pushed towards the middle, but was knocked down by Scholes who returned to defend.

The referee Edner's whistle sounded, and he awarded Celtic a free kick in a very good position.

***********
This ball, about 27 meters away from the goal, is within the shooting range of the Celtics' Japanese star Shunsuke Nakamura. In the Scottish Super League that just ended last week, Shunsuke Nakamura once scored at a similar position. A wonderful direct free kick.

When the Manchester United players were lingering on the wall, Li Rui heard Ferguson calling his name, and Li Rui saw Ferguson's gesture, which meant that he was ready to fight back at any time.He also ran a few steps towards the frontcourt, and Gravesen immediately followed.

The referee Edner's whistle sounded, Jun Nakamura assisted in the run, Heather Link made a screen, the Japanese star kicked a good arc, the football passed the wall and spun towards the upper left corner of the goal .

The experienced Van der Sar did not hesitate. He jumped up and wanted to hit the football, but he missed it. Just when Van der Sar felt cold, the Manchester United goalkeeper who landed heard the football hit hard. Hearing the sound on the crossbar, he looked up and saw the football bounce off the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

When the Celtic fans who came to the away game saw the football flying past Van der Sar's right, they thought the goal was going to be scored, and when they heard the loud sound of the football hitting the crossbar, there was a burst of neat cheers. Sigh, and then applause for Shunsuke Nakamura's good free-kick shot.

The Manchester United fans broke into a cold sweat. At this time, at the end of the first half, if the Celtics equalized the score, it would be too bad for morale.

***********
Although Li Rui politely said that he was looking forward to the duel with Shunsuke Nakamura in the interview before the game, but, just like his first reaction at the time, he said in Chinese "shit Asian derby", he still lacked understanding of this Japanese player's awareness.In Li Rui's view, the Japanese team or Japanese players are definitely considered a strong team in Asia. However, in the European arena, the physical disadvantages of Japanese players make it difficult for them to perform well (after all, not every An Asian player has such a good physique like Li Rui).

However, after this half of the game, Li Rui also had a more intuitive understanding in his heart-this Shunsuke Nakamura is really strong, no wonder he can be the core midfielder of the Celtics.

After Shunsuke Nakamura's free kick hit the crossbar, the Manchester United players broke out in a cold sweat. The game continued. Ferguson also gave instructions on the sidelines again, asking the players to slow down the pace of the game and delay the game. Looking at the time of the game, the score of 1:0 entered the intermission, which is not unacceptable for Manchester United.

The Celtics also gradually gave up their offense in the last few minutes. When the referee Edna from Switzerland blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score temporarily stayed at 1:0. , Manchester United at home with Li Rui's goal temporarily took the lead.

***********
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half and the players on the field were walking towards the player tunnel, a 'big man' also appeared in the camera of the director.

In the VIP stands at Old Trafford, everyone first saw a beautiful windbreaker and then a peaked cap. They kept their heads down and wrote something, which made it a bit hard to see the person's face.However, when the man raised his head, everyone recognized the new head coach of the England national team, Mr. McClaren.

"Wow - this is our Mr. McLaren, does he think he is an employee of Scotland Yard, this attire - very -" Tabby didn't know what words to use to describe this attire of McLaren, In the selection of the head coach of the England national team, everyone in England has a list in their minds, and Taibi publicly supported the Dutch Hiddink. However, after Eriksson's painful lesson, the FA I still chose to 'trust' the local coach in England and chose McLaren. Of course, Taibi still had resentment about this. He once criticized Mr. McLaren in his own column in "The Times", thinking, 'This gentleman is...really, useless', so it's no wonder Tabby teased McLaren in this look.

In fact, it is true. When you come to Old Trafford to watch the game, there is no need for Mr. McLaren to be so mysterious.

***********
"Not bad guy, active in steals, good pass." Of course, McLaren didn't know that he was being teased by the commentator of Sky TV. He wrote this sentence in his notebook. evaluation of.

In the England national team, Carrick did not have many opportunities. However, the new England coach seems to want to find a new direct line, which should be an opportunity for Carrick.

Originally, McLaren came to watch Rooney's performance, but the little fat man didn't start the game. Fortunately, there are old international players like Gary Neville, Scholes and Ferdinand in the Manchester United team, as well as Carrick. young international footballer.

However, what surprised McLaren the most was Li Rui's performance. In fact, there was absolutely no friendship between McLaren and Li Rui. When Li Rui was still at Leeds United, Eddie Gray and then-Middle Li Rui was also involved in the spat with McClaren, the head coach of Fortress, and Li Rui also "spoken rudely" to McClaren, which made this "gentleman" worry about it all the time.
However, Li Rui's progress in today's game still surprised McLaren. In his impression, this young man seemed more willing to use his skills and speed to break through with the ball. In this game, Li Rui The real threat is the grabbing points in the penalty area, which shows that this young man is becoming more and more mature, or in other words, more comprehensive.

For no reason, McLaren recalled the story that before the World Cup, Rooney raised his expectation that Li Rui would play with him in the England national team, and Eriksson seemed to be quite satisfied with the attitude he showed in the interview with the media. At the time, McLaren, who had confirmed he would take up the England national team after the World Cup, scoffed.

Mr. McLaren sighed slightly. Now, he has accepted the England national team. Although he has only played two games, the problem of the striker of the England national team still gives him a headache. Except for Rooney, the other A shooter, he has been quite a headache.

"It would be nice if this kid was from England..." the gentleman sighed, and then he dismissed the idea himself, because he remembered that this Chinese kid had a bad temper, but, Mike La Lun is also a bit strange, how could the Chinese team with Li Rui miss the 2006 World Cup?This seems to be a very puzzling question...

***********
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides suddenly accelerated.

The Celtics came close to leveling the score early in the second half.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot was firmly embraced by Borush, and the Celtic goalkeeper immediately threw the ball to launch an attack.

After Shunsuke Nakamura got the ball, he suddenly kicked it straight, and Snow ran towards the football. However, instead of catching the ball, he jumped past the football and let the ball continue to roll forward. Ke was fooled, and he subconsciously followed Snow.

Heatherlink retreated to get the ball, suddenly accelerated past Heinze, and pushed the football across to the goal. By chance, after a bounce in front of the door, he missed...

***********
"Oh—God! Zurawski's shot! It's just wide, Manchester United escaped."

"Such balls are not scored, wasting opportunities will be punished."

The commentator was also a little stunned. Such a shot missed the goal?Then there was a burst of verbal criticism and sarcasm, and the grievances between the English and the Scots were evident.

***********
It was Tybee's commentary partner Lineker who said 'wasted opportunities will be punished', and perhaps the ex-England international could switch to a career as a stock analyst.

He might be able to discover his amazing prescience.

After the Celtics' attack, Manchester United quickly launched an attack and scored, expanding the score to two goals.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles in front of the box, defended by Celtic midfielder Lennon.

In the penalty area, Li Rui and Cassano were cruising there. Both of them kept parallel with the Celtics' defense line, paying attention not to offside.They were all waiting for a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, ready to attack at any moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo feinted to pass the ball in, but passed the ball to Giggs on the side.

Celtic's right back Telf immediately rushed to intercept.

Facing Telf's interference, Giggs pulled the football one by one, and then kicked the football into the penalty area with his left foot.

Li Rui rushed out, and he ran to catch the ball. He knew the ball was passed to him. The moment Giggs passed the ball, the two had eye contact. They have cooperated for a season, and they still have a tacit understanding. of.

When Li Rui appeared in everyone's sight, there was only a lone goal in front of him, and the Celtic players immediately raised their hands to signal him to be offside, but Li Rui ignored him, the more he would not be offside He knew in his heart that he had been paralleling the opponent's defender just now.Li Rui knew that he was definitely not offside, and the referee's whistle didn't sound, so he didn't care so much.

***********
Giggs's pass was very fast, and the pass was a little too big. When Li Rui caught up with the football, Celtic goalkeeper Borush had already attacked.

Borush strikes!
The Celtic goalkeeper, tall and long-armed, rushed out, and he threw himself directly at the football in front of Li Rui.

Li Rui only felt a black shadow pressing towards him.So quick to strike—

Li Rui had no time to think. He raised his right foot to stop the football in the air without the slightest hesitation, but he didn't shoot. The football was rubbed by Li Rui with the outside of his foot, and the football passed over Borush's head. Fly towards the goal.

"This is?—a lob?"

Under the commentator's big question marks, a red figure rushed up. Facing the empty goal, Cassano tapped his forehead lightly, and the football flew into the net without any suspense.

2:0! ! ! ! !

In the 51st minute of the game, Cassano scored easily after receiving a pass from Li Rui, and Manchester United extended the score to two goals.

***********
"SHIT!!!!!!" Celtics coach Strachan punched the ceiling of the coach's bench and burst out with foul language.

In this game, the Celtics have played well enough, but now it seems that the game is still going to lose, and Strachan also did enough homework for Li Rui, but it was Li Rui's two Flashes determine the course of the game.

"This kid is becoming more and more like a star." Of course, the star in Strachan's mouth is not an ordinary star, but the kind who can help the team win and decide the outcome of the game by virtue of his own flashes. Superstar.

And Li Rui's performance, at least Li Rui's performance in this game and many games last season, is infinitely close to the standard of a superstar.

This also strengthened Strachan's determination to have a good interview with Li Rui after the game.

***********
In the 63rd minute of the game, an accident occurred on the court, which made the Celtics, who were two goals behind, even more passive.

After Li Rui's long-range shot was blocked, Scholes shot again. The football was blocked by Gravesen and hit McManus again.

Giggs throws the ball from the sideline, Cristiano Ronaldo catches the ball, he leans on Balde behind him, pads his chest, picks up the football, twists himself around, stretches out his right foot Facing the falling football, the football cushion was given to Heinze who put in the assist.

The Argentine left-back threw the football forward with his chest, passed Lennon's interception, and passed the football into the penalty area with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Cassano jumped very high. He grabbed ahead of Naylor and ferried the football to Li Rui. The shot was heavy, and the football was subconsciously blocked by the Celtics goalkeeper Borush, and it happened to return to Li Rui. Li Rui did not expect the football to come back again, but because of the feeling of the shooter, he subconsciously Lifting his foot again is a vigorous volley——

The football hit Borush again, who had just got up, and popped out of the bottom line.

Just when Li Rui was annoyed that his two consecutive shots were miraculously saved by Borush, the Celtic goalkeeper who blocked Li Rui's shots twice in a row within 10 seconds seemed to be shot by a rifle. After being hit, he was lying on the ground twitching. Li Rui could clearly see that the Celtic goalkeeper seemed to be foaming at the mouth.

"Oh—God, poor Borush, this—kills me to think about it, hope he's all right," Tabby exclaimed.The gold medal commentator of Sky TV even felt that the two shots were kicked on his body, and he felt a pain in the nerves.

***********
Li Rui himself was also taken aback. Although he wanted to score a goal, he didn't want any accidents. The emotional Celtic players wanted to come up to trouble Li Rui. Li Rui also understood the Celtics. mood, and the emotional Celtic players were immediately persuaded by their captain. After all, everyone knew that this was just an accident...

The Celtics team doctor entered the field immediately. In view of the danger of the situation, the Celtics team doctor did not dare to move Borush. After about 5 minutes, the team doctor took emergency measures and Borush recovered. After regaining consciousness, the Celtic goalkeeper was slowly carried onto the stretcher.

At this time, the fans in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fans of the two sides are hostile, and due to historical reasons, the relationship between the Scottish fans and the English fans is very tense, but, indeed, no one wants any accidents.

Li Rui also ran over, intending to apologize to Borush, although he really didn't need to apologize, but the Celtic goalkeeper turned his dead fish eyes and ignored him, which made Li Rui very annoyed, he touched himself nose, ran back.To be honest, if this shot hit Gravesen, Li Rui would never feel the slightest bit of guilt. He wished to be stronger. Li Rui has always wanted to teach Gravesen a good lesson, but he hasn't found a good one yet. opportunity.

***********
At this time, the Celtics also made a substitution, and the substitute goalkeeper Boschak came on the field. When the man who was in danger ran past Li Rui, he looked at Li Rui with a little apprehension in his eyes...
