Chapter 342 April 28
Li Rui hung up the phone. He always felt sour on Jessica's call. There must be something. Li Rui thought to himself, but, what happened that he didn't notice or forgot?
Lying on the bed, Li Rui looked up at the ceiling and saw the form he had pasted on the ceiling of his bedroom. It was the form posted in the locker room of Manchester United's Carrington training base for the remaining games of the Manchester United team this season. Li Rui also copied a copy himself, and he posted it on the ceiling to motivate himself. He just felt that the pace of the end of the season was getting faster and faster. At the end of the season, the team and himself will get a few What about a champion?
His eyes stayed on April 28th, which was the day of the away game between Manchester United and Chelsea. However, seeing this day, Li Rui was in a daze, and vaguely felt that this day seemed to have other meanings .

…………

He thought about it, somehow connected it with Jessica's unusual tone on the phone just now, and Li Rui slapped his head, only to realize that April 28th happened to be Jessica's birthday .

Jessica's birthday? ! !

Li Rui suddenly realized, no wonder Jessica was a little sour, he had forgotten that the day after tomorrow was her birthday, no wonder Jessica was a little bit petty.

Li Rui clicked his tongue twice. He himself did not expect that April 28, the day of the match against Chelsea, was almost also the day when the Premier League champion of this season would be decided. It happened to be Jessica's birthday! !
***********
Jessica is currently filming and is very busy. It is estimated that even if it is her birthday, most of them will not have time to come. That day is also a key match between Manchester United and Chelsea, and Li Rui cannot go to the United States to celebrate Jessica's birthday.

However, birthdays are always celebrated. Li Rui thought about it in his mind, and he must give Jessica a birthday present. What should he give?diamond ring?It's not too late, sports car?It's a little too tacky.

Li Rui lay on the bed, thought for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind on what to give.At this time, his gaze was cast on the form on the ceiling again, his eyes lit up, and he made up his mind.

…………

night.The two called to tell each other how much they missed each other. Of course, Li Rui knew how to remedy the "mistake" in the morning, and he took the initiative to mention that the day after tomorrow is Jessica's birthday. Even though he guessed that Jessica might not have time to come to England, However, Li Rui asked hopefully. Jessica seemed a little disappointed on the other end of the phone. There was a very important scene on her birthday, and she really couldn't come over.

"It's a pity, I can't go there—you don't have time to come." Jessica's voice was a little low. Thinking about it, who doesn't want her boyfriend to be by her side on her birthday? , Unfortunately, both of them have their own jobs, and it happens that this period of time is a critical moment of work, and both of them are more dedicated, so it is difficult to give up working together.

"It's okay, I will give you a very special birthday present." Li Rui felt that Jessica was not in a good mood, so he changed the subject.

"What is it?" Jessica became interested in this.

"Hey, I won't tell you, you'll know when the time comes." Li Rui smiled on the phone, "Remember, I'll watch the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, and I need you to show me the game in front of the TV." Cheering, this is very important for the team, if we win this game, we will have an advantage in winning the championship."

"I will." Jessica said, because of Li Rui's reason, this 'fake fan' will watch Li Rui's game as long as he can spare time, and he will go to the scene if he can. It's really a job Too busy to get away, Jessica had no choice but to watch the game in front of the TV.

Jessica kept asking what Li Rui planned to give her as a birthday gift, but Li Rui didn't tell her what Jessica asked or even acted coquettishly. He still said, 'I'll know when the time comes'...

The angry Jessica pouted on the other end of the phone, not to mention how cute she was, but it was sweet to think that her boyfriend really cared about her birthday.

***********
Leading Manchester United by two points, and playing at home, Chelsea players are generally optimistic that the team can win the league championship.

"United did well in the Champions League, a difficult part of the Camp Nou, where is it difficult? You know, I don't want to be fined again, my salary is limited - good luck to the Manchester United team." At the moment when the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea was about to start, Chelsea coach Mourinho faced the microphone of the media and suddenly said these words.

The media has no doubts about the Chelsea coach's dislike for Barcelona. Last season, Chelsea and Barcelona met in the knockout round, and Barcelona eliminated Chelsea. However, after the away game at the Nou Camp, Mourinho claimed that Rijkaard was There was a meeting with the referee at half-time.For this reason, UEFA issued a two-match ban and a fine of 9000 pounds to Mourinho.

And this season, Chelsea also encountered Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The result was that Chelsea was eliminated. Before the game, Mourinho said to the media, "I don't discuss refereeing issues. This is a taboo topic." ! ' Quite a bit like 'There is no silver 300 taels here'.

…………

Now, in the 37th round of the league, when the battle between Chelsea and Manchester United at home is about to start, the Chelsea head coach will definitely not be so kind when he says these words. This is obviously to lure Manchester United into distraction. The current championship is also very tempting. Manchester United only needs to eliminate Barcelona, ​​and then it is only one step away from reaching the top of Europe.

However, after saying these words and starting a psychological battle against Manchester United, 'Magic Bird' has resumed his usual arrogant image, "The result (of the match between Chelsea and Manchester United)? There is no doubt that we will be in the Stamford Bridge lifts the league title!"

However, apparently, Mourinho seems to have selectively forgotten that the Manchester United coach is the master of psychological warfare among the Premier League coaches. When the old Scottish man was asked by a BBC reporter, what did he think of the remarks made by the Chelsea coach? When I was feeling, I answered like this, "Manchester United has never had a chance to lead the standings this season. Now, there is such an opportunity in front of Manchester United, and we will seize it without hesitation! This is a gift from God!"

When Li Rui saw what the boss said in the newspaper, the first thought in his mind was to ask the head coach, 'Boss, are you sure you don't know Zhou Xingxing?do not know?Then, you must know Supreme Treasure...'

The answer given by the head coach of Manchester United is very similar to the classic dialogue between Zhizunbao and Bai Jingjing in Westward Journey.

***********
Compared with the competition for the league championship, there is another great point to watch in this game, that is, the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot this season. Now, Drogba leads the scorer list with 28 league goals, and Li Rui has 27 goals. Goals followed, followed by Thierry Henry with 26 goals.

Therefore, this direct confrontation between Chelsea and Manchester United is not a direct confrontation between Drogba and Li Rui. Of course, if neither of them performs well, Arsenal's king Henry may also achieve a reversal. For fun, compared to the difficult game between Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal's away game against Sunderland is much less difficult. It is entirely possible for Arsenal's king to score as many goals as possible.

However, the media generally believe that Drogba can still win the Golden Boot this season. The reason is very simple. Li Rui has been playing continuously recently and his body is relatively tired. Another point is that Manchester United is also playing against Chelsea. It's really hard to keep one's attention. After all, Manchester United couldn't help being distracted in the second round of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

"The Times" believes that once Chelsea can score an early goal to establish a leading advantage, and if they can't attack for a long time, Manchester United coach Ferguson must choose to give up the league and replace the main players to prepare for the semi-final against Barcelona Yes, as the core of Manchester United's offense, Li Rui will also be replaced.

Compared with the "Times", the remarks of the "Sun" caused great controversy. In this report signed by Smith, a tactic was proposed, that is, Chelsea can adopt lethal tactics against Manchester United. The main attacker of the team adopts foul tactics. I believe that under such circumstances, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui will be a little timid. After all, no one wants to be injured at this time and miss the semi-final against Barcelona.

I have to say that this trick of the "Sun" is really a bad move, but if you think about it, it might be really useful-uh, considering the well-known bad relationship between Li Rui and the "Sun", This report is really disgusting.

It is said that the angry Manchester United club has already planned to take the "Sun" to court.

No matter what the media says, overall, they are still optimistic about Chelsea's victory over Manchester United and winning the championship one round ahead of schedule, and they are relatively optimistic about Drogba's winning the Premier League striker's golden boot.

"Daily Mirror"'s point of view is more fair and reasonable in comparison, "A Manchester United and Li Rui who have nothing else to do will pose a great threat to Chelsea, but Manchester United have to be distracted and Barcelona. So, for this game, I vote for Chelsea and Drogba...Of course, don't forget Henry."

***********
The media is optimistic about Drogba winning the Golden Boot, and the Ivorian star himself thinks so. He is very satisfied with his own state this season. This is Drogba's second season in the Premier League. His goals have started to blow out. Now , has already scored 27 goals, which is also the scoring record of a Chelsea player in a single season in the league. Of course, Drogba is more eager to win the league golden boot this season!

"With the championship and the Golden Boot, I invite everyone to play in Cyprus." After training, Drogba shouted to everyone.

This immediately aroused the response of his teammates. Although Drogba is famous for diving on the court sometimes, the opponent's fans and players don't like him, but the Ivorian is still very popular in the team. Didier Drogba, who was born in the league and had to support his family, paid great attention to handling his relationship with his teammates.

"Haha, it's a deal, Didier!" Drogba's friend Essien on the team said loudly. Both of them are African players and stars who have come out of Ligue [-]. They are naturally very good. Get closer.

"Well, the last semi-final match between Manchester United and Barcelona was very difficult, and the people of Manchester United were generally tired..." Veteran Makelele began to analyze the recent situation of the two teams. He turned to Joe Cole and asked, "Joe, what if With Manchester United, we have a chance to reach the Champions League final, so will we give it our all in this game?"

Joe Cole was taken aback. He didn't answer immediately, but thought for a few seconds, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know about others. Anyway, I will definitely lose my mind during the game and have to think about the Champions Cup game."

What Joe Cole said was very sincere. Everyone nodded. After thinking about it carefully, although Manchester United may win the league championship, but with the attraction of the Champions League final, it is really impossible to focus on nothing else. of.Everyone is a player, think about it carefully, there is really no way to refuse the temptation of the Champions Cup! !
Essien grinned after hearing this: "I knew it, haha! Now I can be said to be full of confidence in winning the championship. No, we will also win the European Champions Cup next year!!" After finishing speaking, Essien Xin also blew the whistle. This Ghanaian star nicknamed the Big Buffalo is Chelsea's internal pistachio.

…………

Outside the locker room, Mourinho stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Of course, he didn't intentionally eavesdrop on the conversation of his players outside the locker room. He just walked here just now and heard his players talking about the upcoming game , Just stop and listen, obviously, these words from the players, especially Makelele, make him very satisfied. The experience of the French veteran is what this Chelsea team lacks, especially in this critical game. This kind of veteran is like a lubricant, which can relieve the pressure of the players, and can also boost the morale of the team at critical moments!

Mourinho looked at the watch on his wrist. It showed that today is April 26, and the day after tomorrow will be April 28. It would definitely be a pleasure to step on the corpse of Manchester United to win the league championship. things.

April 28, a very ordinary day, what will happen?
