(There was an error in the last chapter. Real Madrid should have gathered at the training base in Madrid first, and then set off for Dublin for training together. Xiaoqi apologizes.)
***********
On July 7th, Real Madrid started training. The team started to concentrate today, and then tomorrow they will leave for Dublin, Ireland for training.

The cars of Li Rui's home in Manchester have been airlifted from Manchester to Madrid. However, his car has not yet got a Spanish license plate. Therefore, the first training session today is arranged by the staff of the club. pickup.

"Hello, Li, my name is Harvey Alonso." The driver greeted Li Rui.

"Ah—hello, Mr. Alonso." Li Rui was taken aback, his first reaction was that the name was very familiar, and then he remembered, isn't this the name of Liverpool's Spanish midfielder Alonso.

On the way to the training ground, Li Rui jokingly asked the driver, maybe in a few days, Harvey Alonso will join Real Madrid, and the team will arrange for you to drive for Harvey Alonso.

"Haha, Alonso drove for Mr. Alonso, it's very interesting." The driver seemed very chatty, "Li, I'm your loyal fan, you know, when you came to the Bernabeu for Manchester United, I I love watching you play football."

Li Rui smiled and said, "At that time, you must have booed me when you were there." Li Rui recalled that season, when Manchester United played away against Real Madrid, Li Rui scored a hat-trick to help the team eliminate Real Madrid. He was booed by the entire Bernabeu. After scoring a goal, Li Rui gestured to the stands to shut up. Who would have thought that now, he would join Real Madrid and become the owner of the Bernabeu.

"Hey, at that time, we hated it so much." Alonso didn't deny it, and the next second, he said happily, "Now, if you score a goal at the Bernabeu, you will definitely be greeted by Applause and cheers."

"I believe it." Li Rui said with a smile.

***********
The car soon arrived at the gate of Real Madrid's training base Sports City. Li Rui thanked Mr. Alonso and said goodbye to him.

Li Rui saw an old acquaintance at the gate, Argentine left back Heinze, and he greeted Heinze happily.

When Heinze saw Li Rui, he was stunned for a moment, and greeted Li Rui enthusiastically. Although Heinze moved to Real Madrid after falling out with Manchester United, this did not affect his friendship with Li Rui. In fact, the two had a good relationship when they were at Manchester United.

The two embraced warmly and chatted, thinking that they could become teammates again in Real Madrid, both of them were a little bit embarrassed.

You know, the transfer of Heinze back then was full of turmoil. It was in the summer of 2007. Heinze had gradually been taken away by Evra as his main left-back position, so he transferred in the summer. After the window opened, they made it clear that they wanted to transfer, and Manchester United promised that as long as a team provided a good offer, Heinze could transfer.

But when Liverpool offered Manchester United an offer of 680 million pounds, the Scottish old man Ferguson refused because he would never allow Heinze to transfer to his rival Liverpool. Li Rui still remembers the old man saying to the media at that time, "I dare Guaranteed, Liverpool will not get Heinze. That offer is worthless to us and can be thrown under the bed immediately, which is what we did."

Heinze was extremely dissatisfied with this, and publicly expressed his desire to join Liverpool, and he did not hesitate to appeal to the Premier League for this. Heinze's reputation among Manchester United fans suddenly dropped sharply.Heinze said that Manchester United did not say that they could not go to Liverpool when they promised themselves, but he has given everything to Manchester United, so he has the right to transfer to any team, and also said that "the hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool should not involve sports ".Ferguson said that Heinze's forced transfer to Liverpool was an unprofessional act, and accused Heinze of transferring because he blindly asked for a high salary and was rejected.

In the end, the Premier League ruling rejected Heinze's request, and Heinze was also deprived of his original No. 4 jersey.When the two sides were at a stalemate, Real Madrid made an offer of 800 million pounds.In the end, Heinze successfully transferred to Real Madrid.

***********
"How do you feel after moving to Madrid?" Li Rui asked.

"How to put it—" Heinze said.

Seeing that Heinze seemed to be in a bad mood, Li Rui asked strangely, "Gabriel, what's wrong?"

"Oh. Li, you have come to Real Madrid, but I am leaving." Heinze said gloomily, "The team has informed me that I can contact the new club."

Li Rui was taken aback for a moment. He knew that Florentino was clearing out players. He didn't expect Heinze to transfer. He was happy because he had an old friend in the team just now. However, for this There is nothing Li Rui can do about this matter. This is the operation of the team's management, or it may be that Heinze is not liked by the team's new head coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Li Rui patted Heinze on the shoulder to express his comfort.

"Haha, let's not talk about this, Lee, it's the best time to play football with you, because we always win." Heinze said.

Hearing what Heinze said, Li Rui also remembered the days when the two were teammates together. He was very happy, and the two walked and chatted like this.

***********
The two ran into Zidane, who was waiting for Li Rui here. Seeing that Zidane had something to do with Li Rui, Heinze went to the locker room first.

Zidane approached Li Rui to talk to him about his jersey number. Today is the team's first training camp, and Li Rui's jersey number has to be confirmed.

It stands to reason that for a superstar like Li Rui to join, the jersey number should have been determined long ago. However, Li Rui likes No. 10. He chose the No. 10 jersey of Real Madrid, and the No. 10 jersey belongs to Sneijder. Under certain circumstances, the team will generally not force Sneijder to give up the No. 10 jersey, but ask the players to discuss the solution in private.

However, at that time, Valdano told Li Rui that Sneijder was about to transfer, so he should not go to Sneijder. After Sneijder transferred, the No. 10 jersey would belong to Li Rui.

And now, the team has started training, and Sneijder hasn't transferred yet, but Li Rui's jersey number can't be delayed.

Moreover, what Li Rui didn't know was that Real Madrid was ready to tell Adidas that Li Rui's jersey number was No. 10, and that they were already making preparations. number jersey.

***********
Sneijder has always publicly stated that he is unwilling to leave Real Madrid, and Li Rui is also following the news, which he knows.

"Qizu, let me talk to Sneijder. If he doesn't want to, I'm considering another number." Li Rui said, it's not because he's afraid of Sneijder, he can ask for a strong No. 10 player in order to Sneijder could only accept Li Rui's status in Florentino's eyes. However, Li Rui considered that he was going to play in the same team after all, and he didn't want to make the relationship stalemate.

Zidane is very satisfied with Li Rui's emphasis on the overall situation. This is the heart of a superstar. He said with a wry smile, "Now there is a situation. Valdano and Pellegrini have talked with the Dutch. In the upcoming Sneijder is not considered in the new season, but Sneijder is not willing to leave."

Li Rui was also a little dumbfounded, and he didn't expect such a situation to happen.

Zidane went on to say that Real Madrid and Inter Milan have reached an agreement of 1500 million for Sneijder, only waiting for the Dutch to nod, but Sneijder still insists on staying in Real Madrid when the management has made it clear that he will be expelled.

"Unexpectedly, Sneijder still has a lot of affection for Madrid." Li Rui said.Then he saw Zidane looking at him strangely, did he know what he said wrong?

Zidane said, "What do you love about Madrid? Sneijder wants a higher salary. Staying in Real Madrid is just a means of negotiation. The 2010 World Cup is approaching. Van Marwijk has already said that he will not bring a Those who can't play in the club go to South Africa, of course Sneijder will transfer, he just wants to bargain with Inter Milan and ask for a high salary."

***********
Li Rui thought about it. If he wants to wear the No. 10 jersey now, it's not impossible, but it will be a bit awkward.Sneijder has not yet transferred, and the current Dutch gang in the team is very strong. In addition to Sneijder, there are Drenthe, van der Vaart and Robben. .

Another point is that if Li Rui wears the No. 10 jersey now, the media may not say anything. Maybe it is said that he snatched the No. 10 jersey himself and forced Sneijder away. Then he will be wronged.

"Li, I have a suggestion, you can listen to it." Zidane said.

"What suggestion?" Li Rui said.

"Actually, in Madrid, the greatest jersey is not No. 7, let alone No. 10, but No. 9." Zidane said, he saw Li Rui paying attention, and then said, "That's Di. The number that Stefano wore!"

***********
Li Rui was taken aback. He respected Di Stefano very much, but he really didn't know that Di Stefano wore the No. 9 jersey when he played football.Hearing what Zidane said, Li Rui was also a little moved.

Zidane talked about the history of Real Madrid's No. 9. The reason why this number is great can only be known from these names—except Paino, who scored 140 four goals in four official games in 120, "Golden Arrow" In addition to Di Stefano, there are 460 golden header kings Sandiana who played for Real Madrid once, Hugo Sanchez, the scoring machine who won the top scorer of La Liga four times, "Terrible Ivan" Zamorano, "Can use Playing the violin with his left foot" Davor Suk.

In addition, when Ronaldo was in Real Madrid, he also chose the No. 10 jersey at the beginning. This is because the No. 9 jersey was on Morientes at the time. When Morientes left, Ronaldo put on the No. 9 jersey. His dream number.Ronaldo is a fan of Hugo Sanchez.It's no wonder Ronaldo admires Hugo Sanchez so much. Hugo Sanchez's scoring rate in Real Madrid is terrifying.In the 5 years of personal effectiveness, he won the title of top scorer in La Liga 4 times and scored 283 goals in 207 games!
***********
Di Stefano, Sandiana, Hugo Sanchez, Dave Suker, Ronaldo.

Li Rui is also a bit passionate. He doesn't pay much attention to the jersey number. He just wears whichever number he likes. When he was at Leeds United, Li Rui chose No. 11. He only played for Leeds United for one season. The legend of No. 11 will always remain at Elland Road Stadium. In Manchester United, there are not many stories in the history of No. 10. However, because of Li Rui, No. 10 has become one of the greatest numbers in the history of Manchester United!

Now, for the first time, Li Rui has the idea that this number 9 is absolutely necessary. On the one hand, it is because this number has so many brilliance, and on the other hand, Li Rui also has a motivation. He wants to become the greatest player in history. No.9--

Beyond Di Stefano, beyond Sandiana, beyond Hugo Sanchez, beyond Ronaldo! ! !

This feeling of transcendence, just thinking about it makes my blood boil! !

***********
"Qi Zu, I'll choose number 9." Li Rui said.

"Decided?" Zidane looked at Li Rui with a smile.

"En." Li Rui nodded, and when he saw Zidane's smile, he smiled and said, "Qi Zu, I feel like you know that I will choose No. 9."

Zidane laughed, "Haha, I guessed, and, I guess, you must be thinking, to surpass Di Stefano, to surpass Sandiana, to surpass Hugo Sanchez, Suker and Ronaldo, Become the greatest No. 9." He said, looking at Li Rui with a smile.

"That's right." Li Rui smiled, there was nothing embarrassing about it.No need to be coy, it's not about arrogance, it's about great purpose and strong confidence and motivation.

"Ambition." Zidane patted Li Rui on the shoulder, "I believe that you will become the greatest No. 9 in the history of Real Madrid."

"Haha, I originally planned to choose No. 5, but that is a number that I cannot surpass." Li Rui said with a smile, the No. 5 jersey was once worn by Zidane.

Zidane knew that Li Rui was flattering him, but it was also very useful in his heart.

***********
"Well, it's number 9." Zidane said, "After training, we will prepare a press conference to officially announce your jersey number." He came to Li Rui to confirm the number. Li Rui's identity and number have been confirmed, and there must be a grand press conference.

"No problem." Li Rui said with a smile.

At this time, Li Rui looked at the time and felt a bit of a headache, "Oops, Qi Zu, I'm going to be late for training." This was the first training session, and also the first meeting with head coach Pellegrini, Li Rui didn't want to leave a bad impression.

"Then go there quickly." Zidane said with concern, "Do you want me to go with you and explain to Mr. Pellegrini."

"No, I'll hurry up, I won't be late." Li Rui thanked Zidane for his concern, bid farewell to Zidane, and ran towards the locker room.
