Chapter 762 England national team captain Li Rui! (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Terry's sudden injury made England's match against Brazil on November 2009, 11, who should wear the captain's armband, which suddenly became a concern for the whole of England, not just England, Or it can be said that it is an issue that the entire football world is paying attention to.

The "Guardian" comprehensively analyzed England's squad for this training camp.

The list of preparations for the training camp of the England team and the Brazil team is as follows. From this list, it can be seen how "miserable" the England team's remnants are:
Goalkeepers: Green (West Ham United), Foster (Manchester United), Joe Hart (Manchester City)
Defenders: Terry (Chelsea), Bridge (Manchester City), Brown (Manchester United), Lescott (Manchester City), Upson (West Ham United), Warnock (Aston Villa), Gary. Cahill (Aston Villa);

Midfielders: Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Barry (Manchester City), Jenas (Portsmouth), James Milner (Manchester City), Hoddlestone (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Young (Aston Villa);

Forwards: Li Rui (Real Madrid), Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur);

***********
After excluding the injured Terry, the "Guardian" gave three names, they are Brown, Barry, and Crouch. Wearing the captain's armband of the England national team for the first time.

All three are veterans of the Three Lions, and their qualifications are enough. However, all three have more or less "deficiencies". Brown has now been reduced to a substitute for Manchester United and rarely plays games. Although the qualifications are relatively old, he is also a marginal international player; Crouch's popularity in the England team is average, and "Bamboo Pole" did not make much contribution to England's European Cup victory last summer. He is the main substitute on the front line; as for Barry, he is the main force in both the club and the national team, but Barry's problem is that the Three Lions do not have much prestige and cannot convince the public.

***********
finally. The Guardian has found that none of the three men 'most qualified' to replace John Terry as England's starting captain are not really suitable.

Only at this time did the "Guardian" focus on the player with the most qualifications, qualifications and prestige, that is, Li Rui. Li Rui was the biggest contributor to England's European Championship in 2008. The absolute core of England's offense is also very convinced by other teammates. Naturally, the prestige in the dressing room of the Three Lions is undeniable.

However, the "Guardian" also believes that Li Rui is also the most unlikely one. For nothing else, Li Rui's status as a Chinese player is the biggest obstacle.

However, after counting all the players of the England team for this training camp, the "Guardian" has to admit that regardless of Li Rui's identity as a Chinese player, Li Rui will definitely be the match against Brazil tomorrow. The perfect choice for the field captain!Even the only qualified candidate!
***********
The "Daily Mail" is directly Brown's supporters. They believe that the Manchester United veteran is the one who is suitable to wear the captain's armband in tomorrow's game with Brazil.

"The Sun" supported Barry, believing that Manchester City's midfield position is solid, it is a frequent visitor to the national team, and 'Gareth. Barry is a real Englishman'.It is worth mentioning that after the report of the "Sun" was published, it was boycotted by all the Chinese in the UK. They believed that the "Sun" revealed a disgusting taste of racism between the lines; the largest Chinese community in London has a clear-cut stand I asked the "Sun" mercilessly - when Li Rui helped England stand on top of Europe, what did you say at that time?You call him King Arthur!

The "Sunday Mail" said that this issue needs to be resolved by Mourinho, which is a somewhat difficult topic.If Mourinho accepts the order of the FA to appoint the captain, his prestige may be damaged, and he must make his own choice.

***********
Mourinho didn't want to wait for the FA's appointment call at all, nor did he make the media wait too long. On the night Terry was injured, Mourinho made a decision.

The head coach of the Three Lions Mourinho called the FA, of course not to ask for instructions. Mourinho just conveyed his decision to the FA. After hearing the name that Mourinho said on the other end of the phone, There was silence for almost half a minute, asking if Mourinho had made up his mind.After getting an affirmative reply from Mourinho, the Football Association, who understands Mourinho's temperament, chose a tacit attitude after weighing the pros and cons, neither supporting nor opposing.

In the evening, after dinner, the England team leader notified Li Rui that coach Mourinho was looking for him.

***********
"Li, for tomorrow's game, I intend to hand over the captain's armband to you. Do you have any questions?" Mourinho said straight to the point.

Li Rui was also taken aback. He really didn't expect Mourinho to find him. Li Rui never thought that he would wear the captain's armband of the England team. The national team is not a club. Li Rui wore it for Manchester United. Passing the captain's armband, although it is also facing pressure and doubts, but the main reason for doubting him in the club is because of his age and qualifications, not because he is a Chinese player. After all, the captains of many wealthy clubs are not from the home country of each league. For players, however, the England national team is different. Everyone knows this.

***********
"Boss, to be honest, I'm not prepared." Li Rui said frankly.

"It doesn't matter if you are not prepared, I believe you can handle it." Mourinho saw that Li Rui seemed to have something to say, and he didn't allow Li Rui to speak at all, so he waved his hand arbitrarily, "Okay, this matter is decided like this Well, I called you here just to inform you, not to ask for your opinion... Don't put too much pressure on tomorrow's game, go ahead."

Li Rui smiled wryly, doesn't the boss know that when the captain's armband is worn on his arm, it is the greatest pressure?This pressure comes from the media, from fans, from teammates, and from Li Rui's heart.

In addition, Li Rui did not expect Mourinho to be so determined this time, and decided on this matter very 'fucking'.This also moved Li Rui very much, not only because of his love for wearing the captain's armband, but also because of what Mourinho did. The "madman" did this to shoulder all the responsibilities and the media's difficulties. Avoid too much pressure on Li Rui.After all, it was Mourinho who made the decision.

***********
The next day was the warm-up match between England and Brazil. When the England team went to the stadium for adaptive training in the morning, nearly 200 reporters scanned all the positions outside the training field. Their purpose was very Clearly, I hope to be able to find out from the clues who the starting captain of the England team will be in today's game.

After the training, Mourinho announced to the whole team that the captain's armband for this game will be handed over to Li Rui.

Obviously, judging from the expressions of the England players, no one except Mourinho himself would have thought of this result.

***********
This is not the first time that Li Rui has served as the captain of the team. Li Rui had served as the captain before when he was at Manchester United.And more than once.

However, national teams and clubs are naturally different.

The England national team can be said to be full of superstars, and the most indispensable is the star. When it comes to fame, Li Rui is naturally the well-deserved No.1.

Moreover, regardless of fame, just look at the qualifications of the players.Li Rui is also the most suitable.

Leaving aside Li Rui's status as a Chinese star, Li Rui is a well-deserved No. 1 choice even in England's internal voting.

***********
Although the impression of Li Rui is very good, other teammates are very convinced of Li Rui's performance in the European Cup and Li Rui's current status in football, but there are still many old players who choose Mourinho. Li Rui had some complaints about the captain's behavior in this game.

Brown, Barry, and Crouch, the three "old guys" mentioned by the "Guardian" who are most likely to be the captain of the game, are naturally very dissatisfied with this. Brown is better, and Li Rui In the four seasons of Manchester United, his performance is obvious to all. Although Brown regrets and is depressed for himself, he still supports Li Rui.

The dissatisfaction and doubts of other players including Barry and Crouch, under the strong promotion of Mourinho, did not say anything.

So, in today's game, Mourinho forcibly passed Li Rui's captaincy.Although there is also Li Rui's personal ability and charm, which has convinced other teammates, but without the support of Mourinho, this would not be possible.

***********
In addition, the most important thing is that in this England team, there are no players who can really convince other teammates and can compete with Li Rui. Gerrard and Lampard are absent from this training camp. Opponents can pose a direct threat to his wearing the England captain's armband.

Anyway, the England team passed this matter.

But after the news was released, it still caused an uproar in England.

***********
England is a veteran power, and the pride of the empire on which the sun never sets still makes many British people proud. 'John Bull' is notorious for his arrogance and xenophobia.

Because of this arrogance, the compatibility of various ethnic groups in the UK is very fragile, and it is difficult for a minority, especially Chinese, to be recognized.Unless you are really important, let'John Bull'realize that you can't do without you, and Li Rui's performance in the 2008 European Cup made the English people really start to accept Li Rui, there is no way, without Li Rui, even He is the most arrogant England fan, and he also knows how difficult it is for them to win the championship.

However, although the England fans recognized Li Rui's hard work and dedication, this does not mean that they are willing to see Li Rui wear the captain's armband, lead the England team, and be the first to walk out of the player tunnel during the game.

***********
The reason for this phenomenon is that Li Rui's identity is quite special, he is an out-and-out Chinese.And everyone can see that Li Rui is definitely more inclined to China in terms of personal emotions.

To put it bluntly, apart from Li Rui being British and playing football for England, all his thoughts are in China.

Especially in the 2008 European Cup final, when Li Rui led England to victory over arch-enemy Germany and won the Delaunay Cup, he took out the Chinese flag at the team's championship celebration and hurt the hearts of some England fans. Some extreme England fans did not forgive Li Rui.

In addition, some racist media have been saying that Li Rui has no sense of belonging to England, and they have always criticized Li Rui's identity as a Chinese player.

So, now, Mourinho has appointed Li Rui as the captain of the game between England and Brazil. The occurrence of the situation, however, in the UK, there is still a lot of speculation about this matter.

***********
Li Rui didn't pay attention to the pressure from inside and outside the team. He knew that this incident had a great impact, and Li Rui also knew that at this moment, all he could do was play honestly. Sooner or later, he will be broken by his outstanding performance.It's not the first time he's done this!
In addition, at the press briefing at noon, Mourinho said in strong terms that choosing Li Rui as the field captain for the game against Brazil was his decision, and it was also supported by all the teammates in the England team. support.

Mourinho's statement is undoubtedly the greatest support for Li Rui.

This relieved the pressure on Li Rui's shoulders.It also made Li Rui very grateful to Mourinho. Although Mourinho 'made it', this trust and Mourinho's way of rushing forward to block bullets for his disciples as always , which moved Li Rui very much.Of course Li Rui knew that Mourinho had to bear great responsibility and accept a lot of artillery fire for saying these words.

***********
Soon, news spread around the world that Mourinho announced that Li Rui would be England's starting captain for the game against Brazil.

This England VS Brazil game received a lot of attention, which can be described as 'world-wide attention'.

Whether they like Li Rui, support Li Rui, or dislike Li Rui, they are all waiting for this historic moment——

That is, just wait and see Li Rui with the captain's armband of the England team on his arm, standing at the forefront of the England team, leading the England team out and onto the pitch! !

***********
On November [-], [-], the day when England and Brazil fought.

At the entrance of the hotel where the England team stayed, the reporter had already set up a posture. Although it was only a friendly match, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole of England is paying attention to this match.

In the flashing lights, Li Rui and his teammates boarded the team bus.

On the other side, Kaka also boarded the bus with his teammates from Brazil under the attention of countless reporters. . . .

The live broadcast of the game between England and Brazil has already started from this time.

In front of the TV, many people looked at Li Rui wearing earphones, and seemed to be talking to someone. Unfortunately, the reporter was not allowed to broadcast the players' calls live. Many people were thinking about who Li Rui was talking to. What are you talking about?They firmly believe that the topic of discussion cannot be separated from the fact that Li Rui will become England's captain on the field.

***********
On the bus, Li Rui was still on the phone. He was talking to Little Fatty Rooney. Rooney missed the match against Brazil because of muscle soreness, which also made Fatty very uncomfortable.

The little fat man was still nagging on the other end of the phone, "This game is a good lesson for the Brazilians, but if I can participate in this game, you will have nothing to do with the captain's armband."

Li Rui rolled his eyes, this guy is still as virtuous as before. . . .

What about his first England game as captain?

Li Rui looked at Mourinho who was sitting in the front row.Mourinho closed his eyes, as if everything was under control, and he didn't worry at all about England's big loss to the mighty Brazil, which will play with a broken team today.

***********
England's bus soon arrived at the venue for today's game, the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar.This stadium is quite far away from downtown Doha and will be the main stadium of the 2011 Asian Cup.

"Li Rui, it's the first time you play as England captain, do you feel any different?" asked the reporter of Gazzetta dello Sport.
"It's nothing different," Li Rui said with a smile, "The captain's armband will only make me more eager to fight."
