Chapter 318
That night, Lin Rui received a call from Lin Wan’er announcing the good news.
Listening to the woman’s excited voice on the phone, Lin Rui was also very happy for the other party.
Lin Rui was originally worried that the exposure of his relationship with Lin Waner would affect the other’s career.
Now since it has not caused any bad influence, and on the contrary, it has brought the other party’s career to a higher level.
Of course he was too late to be happy.
After calling for more than an hour, the two reluctantly hung up.
Lin Rui was relieved and devoted himself to training and competition in the following time.
In the fourth round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced Almeria at home.
After a week of rest, Atletico Madrid is back with full blood.
Simeone also sent most of the main players to fight.
And Almeria is just a newly promoted team from Serie B.
So Atletico Madrid played very easily in this game.
In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated their opponent 3-0 with Lin Rui’s two goals in the first half and Costa’s goal in the second half.
After this game, they ushered in their first opponent in the Champions League group stage, AC Milan, at their home court.
As a traditional strong team that has won seven Champions League championships, despite the decline of Serie A, AC Milan’s strength cannot be underestimated.
September 19, 2013, was the first match day of the Champions League.
The match between Atletico Madrid and AC Milan is scheduled for the prime time period at 8 o’clock in the evening.
The Calderon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, was already overcrowded more than an hour before the game started.
People wear the jerseys of the teams they support and wave flags and banners in their fan groups in the stands to cheer for their teams.
On the court at this time, players from both sides were warming up before the game.
Atletico Madrid’s players wore their traditional red and white home jersey, while AC Milan wore their black away jersey.
The two sides were clearly differentiated and were warming up in their respective halves.
While Lin Rui was practicing passing with his opponent, he was also observing the opposite AC Milan team.
This is his first time against this team.
When he was young, AC Milan was at its peak.
Now more than ten years have passed, and Serie A, once a small World Cup, has begun to decline. From the league that once ranked first in Europe, it fell to the third or fourth position.
It has been completely suppressed by La Liga and the Premier League.
Therefore, the strength of the teams in this league has also declined to varying degrees.
This can also be seen from the fact that there is no Serie A team among the seeded teams in this Champions League.
As the former leader of Serie A, AC Milan’s Champions League results in recent years have not been very good. Since they won the Champions League in the 2006-07 season, until now, although they can reach the knockout rounds of the Champions League every year, they are basically eliminated in the first or second round.
This year, AC Milan’s lineup has become larger.
They sent away their team’s main players Ibrahimovic and Mozart.
Ushering in the return of Kaká, 20 million bought Balotelli, the former European golden boy, as well as Rami, Monterey and others.
It’s still unclear whether the team’s strength has increased or decreased.
Anyway, in the first three rounds of Serie A, AC Milan only won one game.
Now Lin Rui is observing Kaká and Balotelli in AC Milan.
Mainly because these two people are relatively easy to recognize.
Kaká is still so handsome, and he looks a bit standout among his teammates who have crooked looks.
Looking at his warm-up exercises, there was no sign that he had suffered the injury that nearly ruined his career.
Skilled with his feet, fast and with great awareness.
This was the impression Kaka had on Lin Rui.
But of course Lin Rui knows that Kaka at this time can no longer be compared with its heyday.
The knee injury actually had a huge impact on him.
Although the injury is now under control, Kaka is no longer the Kaka before.
Of course, although the opponent cannot be compared with before, their football awareness and foot skills are still there.
Still a very dangerous presence.
So you still have to pay extra attention during the game.
And another player who is more eye-catching is of course Balotelli.
Distinctive hairstyle, unique personality, and cool expression.
People can notice him from the crowd at a glance.
Lin Rui didn’t care too much about Balotelli.
Although this guy was once the golden boy of Europe, he is still outstanding in terms of personal talent and skills.
But the other party’s character is really something I can’t compliment.
Periodically do some jaw-dropping things to show your personality.
He always wants to show his uniqueness on the court, thus wasting a lot of opportunities.
There are always sparks with the opponent’s players, making yourself the center point of conflicts.
All these performances show that he is not too mature as a football player.
Such a player may burst out with huge energy when the wind is favorable, but once encountering setbacks and obstacles, it is easy for his mentality to collapse.
Lin Rui certainly wouldn’t care too much about such players.
However, Lin Rui didn’t take the other party seriously, but the other party was thinking about him.
Just when the two sides were warming up and were about to return to the locker room, Balotelli came to Lin Rui and blocked his way.
“Hey! Are you the Chinese guy who scored 65 goals in a season?”
Balotelli looked arrogant and asked Lin Rui.
Hearing the other party’s question, Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and said:”I did score 65 goals in the league last season. Is there any problem? ?”
“Ha ha! Cool! I’ve never seen anyone score so many goals in a season. You are very powerful, but I want you to know today that I, Balotelli, am also very powerful. I will score more goals than you today.”
Balotelli first expressed his amazement, and then changed the subject and launched a challenge to Lin Rui.
Hearing Balotelli’s words, Lin Rui was speechless. It seemed that this guy’s madness had occurred again. But as soon as he thought about it, he immediately said with a smile:”Really? Then you have to work hard. I plan to score three goals today. I wonder if you can score so many goals?”
“Three? I…I can do it too, and I can make more progress than you. I’m going to score four. Balotelli said firmly with a stiff neck.
“Then you have to work harder, otherwise it will be embarrassing.”Lin Rui stimulated the opponent again, then walked around the opponent with a smile and left.
Balotelli was left alone. He looked at Lin Rui’s leaving back, clenched his fists and encouraged himself:”Four goals, I definitely can! Wait, then.”
