Chapter 384

"IT'S - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL - Cristiano Ronaldo!!! Beautiful goal! In the 21st minute of the game, Manchester United scored!" Taibi's voice sounded.

"That's right, let's take a look at the scoring process of this ball again - WOWOOWO - I have to say, this is an excellent cooperation. Li Rui's pass is very imaginative, and Cristiano Ronaldo's forward penetration is very good. Resolute, great finishing and Ferguson looks to be working well with this lineup, at least for now," Lineker said.

"The Riverside Stadium has always been a blessed place for Manchester United. Now Manchester United has taken the lead. Ferguson's new tactics look good. It seems very suitable to use Middlesbrough as a test field." After listening to the commentator's words Well, the people of Middlesbrough probably have the heart to eat him alive.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo had already rushed to the bench excitedly. He and Ferguson had a hug. This was not only to thank the head coach, but also to show the media that there was no problem between the two.After all, there are still voices about the conflict between the two.

Ferguson seemed very happy. He patted the Portuguese boy on the shoulder and pushed him back to the court. Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to the court, also gave Li Rui a thumbs up. Even Cristiano, who likes to play tricks Ronaldo also had to admit that Li Rui's pass was beautiful.

"It's a beautiful goal!!" Li Rui also responded with a smile.

"Good job!" This is Gary Neville. As the captain, Neville criticized him a few days ago because of Cristiano Ronaldo's remarks. Now that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal, he should come up to celebrate together , Reflecting the unity of the team, some things pass as they pass, and no one will hold on to them.

***********
In the 35th minute, Middlesbrough got an excellent chance. Unfortunately, Middlesbrough goalkeeper Cattermole's shot was not powerful and was firmly hugged by Van der Sar.

Van der Sar immediately threw the ball to attack, Li Rui retreated to the midfield to ask for the ball, Fletcher passed the ball, Li Rui stopped the ball and turned around, accelerated to get rid of it in one go, and then Li Rui skillfully dribbled from Boateng's side In the past, when Tang Ning came up to intercept, Li Rui and Scholes played a two-for-one. Li Rui, who got the ball again, didn't stop the ball. !

This seemingly easy and freehand movement is actually a very delicate pass, which requires deep basic skills. Of course, the commentators are very knowledgeable and highly praised.

"Beautiful pass, this pass reminds me of Rui Costa." Lineker said, Li Rui's pass also made many people's eyes shine.

The same is true for Ferguson on the sidelines. He suddenly had an idea that Li Rui's midfield scheduling ability also looks very good. Of course, the old Scottish man just thought about it. No one would put such a shooter in the midfield Yes, unless he's gone mad.

***********
Li Rui's kick seemed to have been calculated. The ball finally landed in front of Giggs at knee height. Giggs stretched out his foot and unloaded the football. After stopping the ball, the Welsh veteran stood up from the spot without any hesitation. Kicked the ball into the penalty area, the ball was not high, but the speed was very fast, and it happened to be sent to the gap between the goalkeeper and the defenders. This kind of pass, the arc is very tricky, and the speed of the ball is also very fast. Therefore, the defenders did not dare to touch the ball easily, because no matter who touches it, it may cause a goal, and it is very likely that it will cause an own goal. Of course, Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzel did not dare to attack blindly.

At this time, a blue shadow appeared at the front point, which made the Middlesbrough players and the home fans at the Riverside Stadium feel tight.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a header in front, but failed to hit the football. It seems that header is not Cristiano Ronaldo's strong point.

***********
Just as the home fans at the Riverside breathed a sigh of relief, at the back point Rooney managed to deflect a football header almost as he was being pulled and tugged by Woodgate.

"This is--a header? WOWO--no!!!" Taibi seemed to be asking himself, and suddenly shouted, "God! When did he come up!!"

The Middlesbrough fans seemed to be watching a suspenseful thriller. They just let go of their hearts and raised their throats again. They saw that Li Rui suddenly stepped forward at some point——

"God, when did that guy come up!!" The Middlesbrough fans almost had a big question mark on their foreheads like Taibi.

However, this issue is not important anymore. The important thing is that Li Rui did appear in the most dangerous place! !

There were harsh boos at the Riverside Stadium, and Middlesbrough fans hoped to use their huge sound waves to influence Li Rui.

***********
However, they were destined to be disappointed. Everyone saw a beautiful show, a classic shooting process of a top shooter! !

Under Huth's pressure, Li Rui dexterously used his knee to pad, dodged Huth's pressure and got a chance to shoot, then swung his right foot and volleyed directly!
Schwarzel quickly moved his center of gravity, trying to block Li Rui's shot. Just as he made a save, he felt a white light in front of his eyes. Schwarzel could even feel the sting of the football passing by his cheek with the wind. Feeling the pain, he turned his head and looked back, the football hit the net into a big bag! !

2:0! !
***********
"IT'S - GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!!!!! Goal by Lee! Fabulous goal! He's like a finisher! 2:0! Manchester United look unstoppable!!"

At this time, the big screen at the riverside stadium also began to replay the scoring process. After seeing Li Rui's pass, everyone did not speed up and run towards the penalty area, but slowed down. Javier, who was marking Li Rui, was a little careless, and at the moment Giggs passed the ball, Li Rui suddenly accelerated like a leopard and ran towards the penalty area. When Javier was stunned and wanted to catch up, he could only I saw the big '10' on Li Rui's back.

Then, Cristiano Ronaldo missed the ball in the front point, and Rooney in the back point barely ferried the football to the middle. Li Rui still scored a wonderful goal under Huth's interference!

************
Li Rui and the little fat man gave a big chest bumping ceremony.

"Wayne, that's great, how do you know I'm there?" Li Rui asked.

"Oh—" the little fat man rubbed his nose and winked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Nonsense, of course it's the truth." Li Rui held the little fat man in his arms and wanted to 'love and pity' him.

"The truth is——I wanted to hit the goal with a header, but it was caught by Woodgate, and I didn't have a good position——" the little fat man said gigglingly, "As a result, a goal became an assist. "

Li Rui was speechless for a while, and he pretended to say viciously, "Be careful, I told the reporter, you are a blind assist."

The little fat man shrugged, turned his fat hips and ran towards the middle circle.

***********
In the final game, Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 3-0 away. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty in the second half of the game and scored twice in this game.

However, this penalty kick created by Cristiano Ronaldo himself also caused great controversy. It was that Cristiano Ronaldo received a through ball from Scholes into the penalty area, and Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball. Big, but 'skillful' tripped by goalkeeper Schwarzel.

The referee Fowler not only awarded a penalty, but also showed a red card to Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer.

This caused great displeasure among Middlesbrough fans, who believed that Cristiano Ronaldo was diving.

After watching the slow-motion replay, the commentator also expressed a relatively fair opinion, thinking that Cristiano Ronaldo was suspected of diving, and, anyway, even if the referee did not see Cristiano Ronaldo because of blocked vision A penalty kick was awarded for diving, but it was a bit too harsh to show Schwarzer a red card to send off the Middlesbrough goalkeeper.

When Cristiano Ronaldo 'created' his own penalty, the entire riverside stadium was booed.

***********
After the game, Manchester United's bus was almost besieged by Middlesbrough fans, and some Manchester United fans who came to the away game clashed with Middlesbrough fans.

***********
At the press conference after the game, Middlesbrough coach Southgate refused to attend the press conference to express his protest against the penalty and red card. At the end of the game, the former England iron guard The current Middlesbrough head coach even refused to shake hands with Manchester United coach Ferguson, which made Sir Alex a little embarrassed when he had already extended his hand. The camera captured this scene, and Ferguson's face could even be seen flushing with anger.

In the post-match press conference, Ferguson refused to comment on the penalty, but he also satirized Middlesbrough coach Southgate, "Gareth once took the initiative to shake my hand when he was playing. In my opinion, he is a model of the gentlemanly behavior of English players. All this has changed after becoming the head coach-however, I don't think it is because of the change of identity. Arsene Wenger shaking hands, shaking hands with Mourinho - what? Benitez? If he reaches out first, I will."

According to unreliable sources in The Sun, Benitez nearly smashed the TV after seeing Ferguson's post-match press conference.

***********
After the game, the penalty kick won by Manchester United also caused a lot of noise in the English media.

First of all, Liverpool coach Benitez stood up and accused loudly, "There is no doubt that it was a flop. I watched the video of this game-how many times? Isn't it enough to watch it once? I just need to watch it once." , everyone knows what happened. Schwarzel? The poor guy...he's innocent."

And Mourinho also stood up and accused Manchester United of this penalty. In fact, even if Manchester United's penalty was a flop, to be honest, it had no effect on the result of that game. After all, Manchester United It's a 2-0 lead, and whether it's Benitez or Mourinho talking about this penalty, it's another psychological battle to put pressure on the FA. It's best for the referee to treat Manchester United's games strictly in the future , that is the ultimate goal.

"Did Cristiano Ronaldo dive? It's not for me, it's for the fans, I'm sure everyone at the Riverside Stadium saw what happened. Referee Shearer's performance? I never judge the referee's performance , even if his performance is more amateurish than that of a primary school student."

And Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger also said, "The penalty? In my opinion, there are doubts."

In this way, on the second day of this weekend's game day, the whole of England is arguing about a penalty that may not affect the result of the game...

***********
After the 16th round of the league, although Chelsea also defeated Newcastle 1-0 at their home stadium Stamford Bridge in this round, Manchester United still leads the standings by 1 point. Therefore, Ferguson is important to the team in the league. I am very satisfied with my performance. It is not easy to regain the leading position after a poor record in the previous period.

In the league, Manchester United's performance made the old Scottish man smile. However, looking at the standings of the Champions League group stage, Ferguson showed a sad face again.

Four days later, Manchester United will face Benfica at home. This is a game that no one can afford to lose.Relatively speaking, the situation is still slightly favorable for Manchester United. Manchester United, which sits at home, only needs a draw to ensure that they will enter the top 16 in the group.

In such a life-and-death battle, the whole team needs someone to stand up and cheer for their teammates.

***********
Ferdinand mobilized his teammates to win Benfica before the game: "Now our players are more determined than ever. We are united, we are determined to win."

Li Rui also stood up and said that he will score goals in the game to help the team advance smoothly.

At this time, Manchester United's rival Chelsea is now comfortably "sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight".Chelsea's Portuguese coach Mourinho did not forget to give Manchester United some "blessings": "Benfica knows Ronaldo very well and knows how to deal with him. Now it is not so easy for him to cheat on penalties. He has no way to cheat, which means that Benfica has Opportunity. Of course, they have to be careful about Li, he is a difficult guy to deal with."

PS: Sigh—after zero o'clock, Xiaoqi will be one year older again. Seeing that he still has nothing to do, and his parents have to worry about it, it doesn't feel good.

Brothers and sisters who are away, also remember to call home frequently.
