Chapter 377 The Scottish National Team
After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in a good mood after beating his rival Liverpool 4:1, appeared at the press conference with a smile on his face.

I don’t know if he deliberately disgusted the Liverpool people. Anyway, the old Scottish man first highly praised the performance of the Liverpool team. He praised Gerrard’s wonderful goal, and even praised Liverpool, who scooped the ball out of the net four times in this game. Goalkeeper Reina is doing well.

Hearing Ferguson's words, all the Liverpool reporters present hated their teeth, but what can they say, this is the winner's right!

And Liverpool coach Benitez sat in his seat, silent, with a livid face, and everyone could see that the Spaniard was holding back his anger.

***********
After praising Liverpool, Sir Alex changed his tone and praised Manchester United's performance. His praise ranged from goalkeeper Van der Sar to Vidic in the defense, to Scholes in the midfielder and then to Manchester United. Li Rui on the front line, and even Giuseppe Rossi, who did not perform well as a substitute, were praised by him, "Giuseppe is the future of the club! He has been improving."

At this time, the happiest thing is the reporter from Manchester. Seeing the Liverpool bumpkins so deflated, the beauty in my heart, er, in fact, Manchester people are also "hillicks" in the mouth of Liverpool people. This insulting name depends on the speaker. What is your position.

"Mr. Ferguson, we noticed that Wayne seemed a little unhappy when he was substituted—"

A Liverpool reporter asked, and his question can be said to be rather sharp. This is completely deliberately creating confusion among Manchester United's "contradictions among the people".

However, the old and cunning Ferguson's answer is also impeccable.

"Wayne is not happy? That's right. He told me that he was dissatisfied with his performance. I am very happy with his mentality. This shows that Wayne has become more and more mature, and he knows the responsibility he should take. He knows he's an important part of this team."

"So, what about Lee? Let's talk about him." Of course, it was a local reporter in Manchester who asked this question. Liverpool would not ask this question to make fun of themselves.

"I am very satisfied. All of us have seen Lee's performance. We all know that Lee, who is in excellent form, is back. This is good news for the team. Of course, our opponents don't think so." Ferguson Not forgetting a bit of humor.

The reporters asked a few more questions. Amidst a burst of laughter, the press conference ended. This night belongs to Manchester and Li Rui. As for the crying Liverpool people?After dawn, it will still be a sunny day, although in this season in England, Mr. Sun seldom goes to work on time.

***********
Li Rui delivered a perfect answer in his comeback after being suspended for 6 games, which also made Manchester United once again the focus of heated discussions in the media. The most obvious reaction is that in the words used by the media , Manchester United is also known as 'the most powerful contender for the league title'.

After Li Rui's hat-trick in this round, the number of league goals this season has also reached 9, which makes Manchester United's No. 10 miss 4 league games (suspended 6 games including 4 league games and 2 Champions League group matches) After the game), he regained the top scorer list with a high profile as soon as he came back. Now, after Li Rui, Henry scored 8 goals and Didier Drogba scored 7 goals.

The media is also discussing enthusiastically when will Li Rui's crazy scoring frenzy stop?
The answer of the "Manchester Guardian" is the most classic-"I'm afraid only God knows."

***********
"After a six-game ban, everyone saw that the guy who could do it all came back and it was a sea of ​​fun at Old Trafford on a night that was brought on by their number 6. Yes, 10 shots and 7 goals in the whole game, which is enough to declare his return! A direct free kick, a goal in a sports game with some luck, and an impeccable solo goal-it seems to be with him The guy from the grocery store with a shot is back!!" - The words of "The Times" may have expressed the aspirations of Manchester United fans, yes, Li Rui is back, their No. 3 player is back, and they will immediately give up to their rivals A massacre, this return, is really exciting.Counting the matches between the Charity Shield and Liverpool, Li Rui has scored 10 goals against Liverpool in two games this season. It can be said that Mr. Benitez's Liverpool is definitely Li Rui's biggest sufferer.

"Dominance" - "Absolute dominance! He told everyone, this is his game! A contest that was considered close before the game changed because of his comeback, and he responded with three goals Putting all doubts aside, this is Old Trafford, the territory of Manchester United!" This report by "BBC" is quite sensational, and I believe Manchester United fans and Li Rui's fans must be quite encouraged after reading it. In fact, this report was written by Li Ai, and his emotional report was also highly praised by his superiors.

"Why Him? "This is the headline of the "Daily Mirror". When talking about Li Rui's second goal, the word "lucky" is not missing in everyone's words. However, the "Daily Mirror" asked rhetorically , why him?Why at that time, it was Li who was there to block the football into the net, not Paul Scholes or Wayne Rooney, in the opinion of the writer of this report in the Daily Mirror, Li Rui What this goal reflects is a shooter's keen sense of smell.

The whole of England is talking about Li Rui, talking about his hat-trick, talking about his three goals. It is not easy to say these words of praise for an Asian player from the heart. It can also be seen that Li Rui has indeed gradually conquered the critical media and fans.And it's not just Manchester United fans.

***********
Three days later, Celtic Park.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!!!!! Goal! Wayne Rooney!!!" Taibi yelled, "Manchester United scored from the start! They look unstoppable! Many fans are still looking for seats, Manchester United The team scored."

Accompanied by the passionate roar of the commentator, the Celtic fans at the scene were a little stunned. Some of them had just entered the field, and when they looked up, they saw Manchester United celebrating their goal wildly. ——

"Celtics 0:1 Manchester United" is enough to explain everything.

After scoring the goal, Rooney was extremely excited. He jumped on the spot first, then circled around and ran towards Li Rui who was assisting him. Li Rui stood there laughing and opened his arms. The two came A big bear hug.

Rooney really wants to thank Li Rui. Li Rui received a long pass from Fletcher in the backcourt, and after collaborating with Scholes into the wall, Li Rui broke into the penalty area and got the chance of a single goal. In the case of a shot, he chose to pass the football to Rooney who had already plugged in on the other side. All the fat man had to do was push the football into the empty goal.

***********
The camera moved from Rooney and the Manchester United players who were still celebrating their goals to Tarzan. A fat girl appeared in the TV camera. This was Rooney's fiancée Colleen. Rooney is now in a scoring drought. Under great pressure, Colleen also made a special trip to Glasgow to support her fiancé. Although the couple could not enjoy sex because of Ferguson's "abstinence order", this spirit is still worthy of praise.

The Celtics fans at the Celtic Stadium booed harshly. The Scottish team and the England team were sworn enemies. In the last round, there was a big clash between the two teams at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium. Large-scale gang fights, so the atmosphere of this game is even more tense.

Li Rui has also become a thorn in the side of the Celtics fans. As soon as he touches the ball, there will be boos all over the place. However, just 51 seconds into the game, Li Rui assisted Rooney to score, which also made Kyle The anger of the special people fans is even more vigorous.

"Haha, I like this feeling." Li Rui waved his arms towards the stands, and he yelled brazenly, "What the hell is going to keep booing!!"

The boos really got stronger. Although they couldn't understand what Li Rui was yelling, the Celtics fans could clearly see that flamboyant expression.

The referee of the game, the German referee Merk, had to come up and warn the Manchester United people to restrain their celebration behavior and not try to anger the fans.

Considering the possible problems in this game, UEFA also sent the German Golden Whistle Merck to enforce the game. This German dentist will also announce his retirement after the end of this season. He has already reached the position of the referee. The upper age limit has been reached. Merck had previously told the UEFA referee committee that he was fully capable of enforcing the law for another two years. He suggested revising the upper age limit for referees. However, this suggestion was not adopted.

***********
Finally, in this high-profile game, Manchester United defeated the Celtics 2-0 away. Li Rui did not score in this game. However, he assisted Rooney to score a goal and created a goal in the second half. A penalty kick was scored by Scholes to seal the victory.

The European Champions Cup games are all late games, so after the game, Manchester United stayed in Glasgow overnight and returned to Manchester the next day.

After Li Rui returned to the hotel, he received a call from Celtics head coach Strachan. The two made an appointment to meet after the game. When he was in a cafe not too far away, he was also taken aback by Strachan's question.

***********
"Ahem—join the Scottish national team?" Li Rui had a shocked expression on his face.He looked at Strachan, who was sitting across from him.The latter nodded, meaning that you heard correctly.

Li Rui couldn't understand how Strachan would think of talking to himself about this issue. Human head coach."

Of course, Strachan understood Li Rui's question, so he said frankly that he will be the head coach of the Scottish national team in the near future, and the Scottish Football Association has reached an agreement with the Celtic club. Strachan Can concurrently serve as the head coach of the national team and the head coach of the Celtics.

"It's no secret in Scotland, and the media knows about it." Strachan said with a shrug. Lakan is already a person who has passed the fourth, "How about it, the suggestion I just said."

"Uh——but I'm Chinese, so if I want to join, I also want to join the Chinese national team." Li Rui nodded his head, "Besides, I have nothing to do with Scotland." This is what Li Rui is most confused about If the head coach of the England national team, McLaren, found him, he might not be too surprised. After all, Li Rui has been playing in the Premier League. As for Scotland?Li Rui has never been here except this time when he came to play with the Manchester United team against the Celtics.

"This is not a problem." Strachan raised his right hand, "It's mainly your own attitude."

Strachan's words made Li Rui even more puzzled. He didn't think the 'soccer immigrants' had become so powerful.

In fact, it is really not that easy for Li Rui to join the Scottish national team. However, this is also Strachan's own "whim". The Scottish national team performed poorly in the 2008 European Cup qualifiers. It is not so optimistic to enter the European Cup in 2008, which is why the Scottish Football Association decided to replace the national team coach and invite Strachan to be the national team coach.

And Strachan believes that the biggest problem of the Scottish national team is the front line. Scotland's offensive ability is really bad. The reason why he thought of inviting Li Rui to join the Scottish team was also the last time the Celtics played away with Manchester United. Before that, I thought of it in a 'brain fog'. Sometimes, once a certain idea is formed, even if the idea itself is absurd, as long as I believe it, I feel that it is really the same thing.

Moreover, Strachan also seriously analyzed the possibility of inviting this popular young striker in European football to join the Scottish team with relevant people, and it actually made him beat around the bush to find the feasibility of supporting this plan.
