Chapter 322 Against Milan
Just before the Manchester United team was about to leave for Milan, something happened. Although this incident had little impact on the Red Devils' expedition to the Apennine Peninsula, what made the Manchester United players tremble was that the old man Ferguson's mood became bad. This is a big problem .

On March 26, in the match between Manchester United and Birmingham, Cassano, who scored a goal in this game, can be said to be the hero of Manchester United's easy victory.However, that night, when the Manchester police were investigating a car suspected of speeding, they suddenly found an Italian boy named Antonio Cassano sitting in the cab. It is reported that the police have every reason to suspect that Bad boy Barry was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. In addition, the police were surprised to find a kid named Giuseppe Rossi sitting in the back seat, and there was a clear lipstick hickey on his face...

The police found nearly 1 pounds in cash on Cassano's body. When the police asked why he was carrying so much cash, Cassano's answer was 'because I have money'...

This rather awesome statement appeared on the front page of England's major newspapers the next day. The "Sun" even conducted a survey, asking readers to guess what Cassano would give to the nightclub How much do the girls tip?As for Giuseppe Luo, it was ignored for the time being. From the media's point of view, Rossi's children's shoes are just children who were brought down by bad guys!

It is conceivable how ugly Ferguson's face would be when the matter of the Apennine happy duo was stabbed to the old Scottish man. You can see it.

…………

On March [-], the Manchester United team transferred from London Heathrow Airport to Milan.

Li Rui cast aside the little fat Rooney who was accosting the stewardess, rolled his eyes and said, "Wayne, be careful, I will tell Colleen your flirt..." Then Li Rui pretended to mutter, "Of course, if you consider treating me to dinner For an Italian meal, I'll still understand your need for emptiness."

The little fat man signed his name on the stewardess' snow-white handkerchief very familiarly. Although the signature seemed a bit ugly, he said without looking back, "Italian food? I only know pasta..."

Just as Li Rui was about to say something, he saw the old Scottish man with a cold face like an Italian mafia looking towards him, and immediately closed his eyes and rested his mind like an old monk meditating.

However, the stewardess of Alitalia is really eye-catching... Li Rui expelled the evil thoughts in his heart, and silently recited Jessica's name, as if he was a martial arts master practicing the spell of clearing his heart.

…………

"Dear passengers, our plane will soon land at Malpensa Airport in Milan, Italy. Please sit in your seats and fasten your seat belts." The sexy Italian stewardess broadcast in English and Italian twice to wake up some drowsy passengers.

Li Rui took off his earphones and turned his head to see that the little fat man was still gorging on the food on the plane. As God testifies, Li Rui didn't think the food on the plane could be swallowed.

Li Rui turned his head and looked out of the porthole. He could already see the city of Milan, but it was gray outside the window. It must be because of the cloudy sky. Li Rui was trying to find the San Siro Stadium in Milan, which Milan, the capital of fashion, gave him. In terms of first impressions, the San Siro (Meazza) Stadium is definitely a landmark building in Milan.

However, it was gray outside the window, and Li Rui was not sure whether the big guy he saw was the San Siro Stadium, so he shook his head and gave up.

…………

When the plane finally stopped next to the terminal building, Li Rui took out his mobile phone and turned it on. He hurriedly contacted Jessica. The Hollywood actress is in Milan now. She came to watch the Milan Fashion Week show. The famous Italian movie star Monica Bellucci and Jessica became friends and invited Jessica to Milan.

The phone was connected, and a pleasant serenade could be heard. Jessica was in a famous coffee shop in Milan at this time. Monica Belluni was with her and heard that Li Rui had arrived in Milan. Jessica seemed very happy. She wanted to meet Li Rui, but it was impossible for the time being. Ferguson was strict in his military management. He probably would not allow the players to meet their girlfriends or wives before the game.

Hearing that we can't meet for the time being, Jessica frowned on the other end of the phone. At this time, a pleasant female voice came from the phone. Jessica joked to Li Rui that Monica had problems and she kept calling Yes, the two kissed goodbye on the phone and hung up the phone.

…………

Li Rui was carrying an LV backpack across his shoulders, whispering to Giuseppe Rossi. While talking, the two followed the big team to the exit. Perhaps in Li Rui's view, they had come to Milan, Giuseppe Rossi. Rossi should be more familiar with natives like Rossi, but Li Rui is wrong. Giuseppe Rossi was born in New Jersey, USA, and returned to his motherland, Italy, when he was 12 years old to better develop football. Then at the age of 17, Rossi came to Manchester.

Giuseppe Rossi was severely reprimanded by Ferguson. It is said that the Italian boy was reprimanded by the old Scottish man and cried, but fortunately, Ferguson still brought Giuseppe Rossi to Milan. Manchester United was on the bench There really is no other choice.

…………

As soon as they walked out of the airport, the Manchester United team felt the enthusiasm of the Italian media. Many reporters were already there, and when they saw the Manchester United team appearing, they swarmed up.

Li Rui and Giuseppe Rossi walked together, and the two soon became the targets of reporters. Li Rui thought that these reporters were here to interview Giuseppe Rossi of the Italian National Youth Team, but, Most of the microphones were handed to his mouth.

In the match against Real Madrid, Li Rui scored three goals in two rounds. He was the biggest contributor to Manchester United's death knell for the Galaxy Battleship. It also made his influence among the giants a lot bigger. I believe Now many head coaches of wealthy clubs have begun to focus on Li Rui. As for the media, they are even more interested in this unparalleled young man.

…………

"Excuse me, Li, do you have any goals for the match against AC Milan?"

Li Rui pushed the toad mirror. In the past, Li Rui saw celebrities wearing sunglasses when they went out, and he didn't take it seriously. It seems that they are not celebrities without wearing big sunglasses. However, now Li Rui is used to it. After all, facing the entanglement of the media , This can somewhat cover up my mood swings.

"AC Milan is a great club. I am very happy to be able to play against such a team. As for my goal... I hope to score goals in San Siro and help the team achieve a good result."

"Who do you think is the most threatening player in the AC Milan team?"

"Inzaghi, there is no doubt that he is always full of fighting spirit. We must deal with it carefully. I am eager to compete with him." Li Rui said without thinking.

"What about the others, you mean..."

This reporter actually wanted to dig a hole and create a topic. He asked the question that Li Rui in the Milan team thought was the most threatening, and now he said that. However, Li Rui has been tested for a long time now, of course he will not be fooled , "AC Milan's overall strength is very strong. They have a strong rear and rest assured. Maldini is a model player worthy of everyone's respect. Milan has a luxurious midfielder. I know that some people compare me with Kaka, but, I'm a lot worse [with him], he's already won the [Serie A] title... However, I think Milan's front line is undoubtedly very strong, and Shevchenko is very good."

…………

The reporter heard Li Rui say a lot, and his feelings were to praise the AC Milan team, which was not the effect he wanted.He immediately asked a very targeted question, "So, do you have any predictions for the outcome of the game?"

Li Rui will not refuse to answer this question, he has never denied his desire for victory, "I hope Manchester United will win!"

The reporter finally laughed, this is the result he wanted, well, 'Manchester United No. 10 is going to win, San Siro sounded the alarm! ’ A draft of the title was already in the back of my mind.

…………

"Li, Jessica is in Milan now, did you make an appointment to come here together?" A reporter asked.

Li Rui flipped the reporter's badge, he didn't know the Italian characters, but Li Rui guessed it was from the entertainment media, "No, she came to Milan at the invitation of Miss Bellucci, it was just a coincidence."

"Will Jessica watch the game at the San Siro?"

"I don't think so."

"Do you plan to get married?" The reporter suddenly asked this heavy question, and now not only the entertainment media, but even the sports media also had their eyes lit up.

Li Rui just subconsciously wanted to say that he is still too young to talk about marriage, but, rubbing his nose, he thought that there are not a few football stars who are around 20 years old abroad and have children, and this question is too sensitive, so Li Rui refused to answer.

The reporter wanted to continue asking, but Li Rui made a gesture, refused the media's continued interview, pushed away the crowd, and walked towards the bus. He was here to play football, against Serie A giants AC Milan, and Li Rui didn't like being there. At such times, others focus on their relationship with Jessica. It's not that Li Rui doesn't like Jessica, it's just that he is a person with his own opinions. Before, he hoped that others would pay more attention to his efforts on the court rather than such private matters.

…………

Although it was already March, the northern part of Italy was still a bit chilly. Li Rui pulled up the collar of his sportswear, shrunk his neck, and got into the bus.

He saw that Cristiano Ronaldo was still surrounded by the media. Before the game started, there was a rumor circulating that according to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Berlusconi, the owner of AC Milan, had his eyes on Manchester United's No. 7 , intends to introduce the young Portuguese international this summer, which is why the Italian media are so flocking to him.

After everyone got on the bus, they waited for a few minutes. After the team's Manchester United staff packed everyone's luggage, the bus started slowly and drove to the hotel where Manchester United stayed in Milan.

…………

Li Rui cast his eyes out of the window. Although it was noon, the sky was a bit gray, which was a bit different from the colorful and colorful Milan he imagined. Li Rui took out his mobile phone and sent Jessica a message A short message, telling her that she has already boarded the bus, and then felt really bored, put on the earphones, and dozed off to MJ's singing...

"Look, San Siro." Rooney poked Li Rui. Li Rui opened his eyes in a daze. The weather was not so good. He could only vaguely see the civilized world and Old Trafford of Manchester United. The famous football mecca of the German stadium.

Although he was also excited in his heart, Li Rui still pretended to be very steady. He rolled his eyes at Rooney, "As for being so excited? We are here to conquer this stadium..."

The little fat man ignored Li Rui's teasing, and said something that made Li Rui sigh, "Li, how many goals do you think I should score, two or three?"

Li Rui looked at the little fat man, he didn't lose his mind, did he? What did he think of Milan's defense line?Having Maldini and Nestor's defense is not much stronger than Real Madrid's bean curd project...Although Maldini is old, Li Rui doesn't think the legendary captain of Milan is so easy to deal with...

**********
After arriving at the hotel, the assistant coach Queiroz arranged for everyone to settle down, and everyone had lunch at the hotel. Li Rui ate the authentic pasta, and felt that it was not as enjoyable as the 8 RMB Lanzhou ramen.

In the afternoon, the Manchester United team took the bus to the San Siro Stadium to adapt to the venue. ,

Finally seeing the true face of this famous stadium, Li Rui was also a little excited. He touched the locker room of the visiting team at San Siro, and was a little dazed. The supplies in the locker room of the visiting team were very old. People like Radona, Roberto Baggio, Vieri, Del Piero, Nedved, and Buffon have used it, and it feels very heavy.

However, when adapting to the venue, some young people, including Li Rui, who had never been a guest at San Siro were a little confused. The quality of the turf at San Siro is really not flattering, and it is indeed much worse than that of Old Trafford. It is in this rainy weather, one tackle will raise a large piece of turf.

"It's not as good as Goodson Park." The little fat Rooney curled his lips.He came from the Everton club, and he still remembers Everton's home court. At this time, comparing Goodison Park with San Siro, I don't know if the Milanese will be a little embarrassed.
