The official website of the Spanish La Liga updated the homepage half an hour after the end of the game.They put up a photo that took up almost half of the screen - Li Rui and Kaka were communicating in a low voice against the background of the referee Fernandez showing red cards to Las Diarra and Juca.Then here is a short and concise title:
These two decided the game!
Very appropriate comment.

And "Each Round", which will be broadcast live later in the evening, even specially invited lip language experts to interpret the two superstars for the audience. When teammates and opponents are nervous and dissatisfied around the referee, they The two said something together.

***********
At the end of the game, when the players of Real Madrid satisfies the autograph requirements of the fans and stepped onto the bus, Li Rui was the last player to walk out of the stadium. He was arranged to participate in the interview on the official website of the club just now. .

Li Rui looked at the cheering Real Madrid fans, and he was also very happy in his heart. Li Rui has always understood that if a player can really bring laughter to the fans, then he is truly on the way to success on the way.

Among the cheering crowd along the way, Li Rui saw such a fan with gray hair, and he seemed to know that he was an old fan who had experienced years of hardships.He was standing not far from the Real Madrid bus, holding a Real Madrid No. 9 jersey with Di Stefano on the back!
God, this is Di Stefano's No. 9 jersey?Li Rui looked over in surprise.

Seeing Li Rui looking this way, the old fan carefully put away the No. 9 jersey belonging to Di Stefano, and picked up another jersey. Li Rui saw that the back was still No. 9, and the number on it The name shows that the owner of this jersey is Hugo Sanchez.

Then, the old fan picked up the third No. 9 jersey with Ronaldo's name written on it.

***********
Li Rui came over and looked up at him carefully. He thought that the old fans would hold up a No. 9 jersey again, which should have his name on it. However, the old fans also looked at him, but didn't say anything. , He did not do what Li Rui thought, and the old fans did not ask for autographs or ask for a group photo.

Neither of them spoke, and the old fans just stood there.

"Li, hurry up, it's time to drive." The assistant coach shouted from the bus.

Li Rui turned his head and glanced at the old fan again. He bowed slightly towards the old fan, turned around and walked towards the bus. He understood what the old fan meant. No matter how famous he was before, but in Real Madrid , At the Bernabeu, he has not yet won real recognition and nostalgia.

That's right, it is nostalgia. When you leave Real Madrid, whether you retire here or transfer to leave, you have to do well enough to be missed.

The episode that happened after his debut in La Liga was deeply in Li Rui's mind. Many years later, he said in his autobiography that his first goal in La Liga with Real Madrid was the most memorable except for two goals. In addition to the tacit cooperation with Kaka, there is also an old fan and the three No. 9 jerseys he silently held up.

***********
The whole team returned to the hotel where they stayed, packed up their personal belongings, and drove home.

When Li Rui returned home, he saw his mother-in-law and Jessica busy in the kitchen together, while Little Jack was on the sofa in the living room, watching TV in a decent manner. It was cat and mouse, and the little guy was giggling.

"Daddy, give me a hug." Seeing Li Rui came back, the little guy immediately turned his attention away from the TV.

Li Rui picked up his son and kissed him deeply.

Jessica came out of the kitchen and asked Li Rui, "Honey, did you see the message I sent you?"

"What information?" Li Rui was a little puzzled, and put Little Jack down, "I remembered, my phone hasn't been turned on yet, what's the matter?"

"Oh, I forgot that. I sent a message to tell you that I invited Kaka's family to our house." Jessica said, "During today's game, Caroline and I were watching the game from the stands. It's a great fit."

Li Rui just laughed, and being able to make Jessica, a 'pseudo-fan', full of praise shows that it is really good.He also slapped his head, yes, he wanted to treat Kaka to dinner, Kaka gave him two assists today, although the season has only just started, but the two already have a tacit understanding.Both admired each other.

"Yes, dear, thank you for your arrangement and reminder. I will call Kaka right away." Li Rui found out the phone, turned it on, found Kaka's number, and pressed the send button.

************
Kaka returned home, hugged his wife Caroline, and played with the child for a while. Kaka also performed very well in his La Liga debut today. The two assists were given to Li Rui, and Li Rui also Throwing arms to Li at the last moment helped Kaka score a goal, and Caroline happily proposed to go out for a big meal.Kaka readily agreed.

The two were discussing where to go to celebrate at night, when the phone rang, Kaka picked up the phone and found that it was Li Rui calling.

"Li?" Kaka was a little surprised.

Caroline also froze for a moment, looked at her husband, Kaka nodded, and pressed the answer button.

After hanging up the phone, Kaka said that Li Rui had called and invited them to be guests, and that dinner was almost ready.Li Rui also said with a smile that he wanted to let Kaka's family taste his Chinese cooking skills.

"Why did he suddenly want to invite us to dinner?" Caroline felt strange. A few days ago, Li Rui's family just invited Kaka's family back, as a thank you for Kaka's previous invitation.

Kaka thought for a while: "Hehe, maybe it's to celebrate today's game. To be honest, my dear, Li and I have never had the opportunity to play together before, but we are very familiar with each other's characteristics in the game. It feels very good." .”

"It's really great." Caroline clapped her hands and said, she is a model wife who is a husband and a child. In Caroline's life, Kaka and their children are all, Kaka moved to Real Madrid, to be honest , Caroline didn't really agree much, she was also worried about Kaka's state in the new environment. Now, seeing Kaka's performance is good, she and Li Rui have a tacit understanding. Both of them are 'newcomers' and have already It really made Caroline happy to be friends.

"Let's go, let's go buy some gifts." Kaka said with a smile, "Go eat Chinese food!"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to put on makeup." Caroline said, getting up.

"Honey, you are the most beautiful without makeup." Kaka said, Caroline gave him a kiss, and ran to put on makeup. For women, makeup is essential, besides, to go Li Rui's family is a guest. Li Rui's wife Jessica is a beautiful star. Of course Caroline is unwilling to show weakness. This is a woman's nature. Caroline and Jessica are still good friends.

***********
Kaka and his wife, driving their children, found a gift shop near their residence, bought gifts for Li Rui's family, and then set off for Li Rui's house. Well, in fact, the distance between Li Rui's house and Kaka's house is only a few hundred It's just rice.

The dinner was sumptuous, and the two families ate very happily. Li Rui also showed his skills. The fish-flavored pork shreds and sweet and sour pork ribs he cooked won Kaka's family full of praise.Caroline even said that she wanted to learn Chinese food to satisfy Kaka's appetite, since she was fine at home anyway.

Jessica volunteered to be Caroline's teacher, and Li Rui rolled her eyes. Jessica could do anything, but she seemed very talented in cooking Italian and French dishes, but maybe it was due to the differences between Eastern and Western cultures Although Jessica is working hard to learn Chinese food, the dishes she cooks are really not flattering.

Jessica smiled and said that she and Caroline were learning and progressing together, and both Li Rui and Kaka laughed.

***********
After dinner, Kaka visited Li Rui's study room. On the wall cabinet of the study room, there were awards that Li Rui had won over the years. Of course, some small awards need not be mentioned. The three gold medals of the Premier League champions are all He won three FA Cup gold medals when he was playing for Manchester United, one was won by Li Rui when he was playing for Leeds United, and two were won when he was at Manchester United.

However, Kaka is most envious of the gold medals of the two UEFA Champions League champions.

Next to the gold medal for the Champions League winner, there are two World Player of the Year trophies and two European Ballon d'Or trophies.

Kaka was a little envious, he smiled and pointed to the Champions League gold medal, "I hope to have that in Real Madrid."

Li Rui also smiled and said, "It's definitely possible."

Seeing the confident smile on Li Rui's face, Kaka was also moved with emotion. The young man in front of him was three years younger than himself, but he was already the top star on the planet. However, Kaka was also happy that he could have With teammates like Li Rui, the team naturally hopes to win more championships and glory.
