During the halftime break, Simeone praised the team's performance in the first half.

Especially Lin Rui, he praised him highly.

Now he likes Lin Rui more and more.

He never thought that he was just a young player promoted casually in Team B, and now he has become the team's top scorer. In these games, Lin Rui is the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

Simeone has nothing to say about the arrangement of the second half of the game.

He simply told the players to play normally and keep a normal mind.

Then he left the locker room to the players.

The halftime break passed quickly.

After the players of both sides returned to the court, the referee blew the whistle to start the second half of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Krasnodar tried to launch a wave of raids to equalize the score.

But soon, they paid the price for their recklessness. In the 54th minute of the game, Luciano's pass in the midfield was directly intercepted by Gabi.

Gabi directly made a long pass to find Turan who was active on the right.

Turan dribbled the ball directly to the bottom of the right, and then made a cross to kick the ball into the penalty area.

There, Lin Rui had already taken his position.

Facing two tall Russian central defenders, Lin Rui jumped up and headed the ball.

Although the two Krasnodar defenders tried their best to block him, the difference in strength still made them lose.

Lin Rui easily headed the ball.

Because he was very close to the goal, Yuri Ishenko didn't even have time to save the ball before it flew into the goal.

3-0!

Lin Rui once again performed a hat trick.

This time, Lin Rui did not celebrate after scoring a goal, but just high-fived his teammates who ran over, looking very free and easy.

But the live broadcast room was already very excited.

All three hosts slapped their hands and high-fived each other.

It seemed that they were the ones who scored the goal.

In the box on the stands, Natasha also stood up and applauded.

Even Salenko, who was not optimistic about Lin Rui at the beginning, could only shake his head helplessly, and then applauded.

Lin Rui's performance completely conquered them.

And after this goal, the Krasnodar players also became somewhat discouraged.

After the game restarted, their attack was obviously hesitant.

They wanted to score a goal to equalize the score, but they were afraid that the opponent would score again.

Especially when they saw the big man No. 18 wandering around in their own half, the players of Krasnodar were a little flustered.

Atletico Madrid also slowed down the pace of the game after seeing that the opponent's attack was not so fierce.

Anyway, they are now leading by three goals, and they are not anxious.

In this way, the whole game presents a weird balance.

The lagging side hesitated and dared not press the attack, while the leading side was leisurely passing the ball in the backcourt, wasting the time of the game.

This made the home fans in the stands extremely dissatisfied, and they began to boo harshly.

It was unclear whether these boos were for the visiting team or the home team.

And the time of the game was also consumed in this way, passing by minute by minute.

It was not until the 81st minute of the game that Krasnodar organized a decent attack.

In the end, their No. 10 striker Dimitri Telts scored a goal.

This goal saved a little face for Krasnodar.

But soon, they were hit hard by the ruthless reality. In the 84th minute of the game, just three minutes after Tertz scored, Atletico Madrid immediately responded.

Raul Garcia passed the ball directly into the penalty area in the middle, and Falcao cleverly shot the ball into the net before the goalkeeper rushed over.

The score became 4 to 1.

Although Lin Rui did not participate in this goal, it was precisely because of his containment that Falcao had enough space to get the ball.

Simeone, who saw this scene, was also very happy.

This is actually another role he wanted Lin Rui to play, that is, to contain the enemy and create opportunities for teammates.

Now it seems that Lin Rui has done a good job and can play this role to a certain extent.

After Falcao scored this goal, it was considered to have completely extinguished Krasnodar's counterattack momentum.

In addition, the game was coming to an end.

Both sides no longer had any decent attacks.

And the score of 4 to 1 was finally maintained until the end.

Seeing the end of the game, Natasha in the box couldn't wait to take out her phone and called the number of Mendes that Lin Rui left for him.

On the other side, Lin Rui once again won the honor of the best player of the game.

Including this time, he has won the best player of the game three times and scored 9 goals, which is simply a heaven-defying existence.

So at this time in China, Lin Rui is in the limelight.

He is definitely the most popular sports star recently.

At the same time, another match in Group B has also ended.

In the end, Atalanta beat Prades 1-0 away.

In this way, Atletico Madrid temporarily ranks first in the group with the advantage of goal difference.

In the next group match, Atletico Madrid will face Prades at home.

Back in the hotel, Lin Rui had just finished washing and was ready to rest when his phone rang.

Lin Rui checked the number and it turned out to be a call from Mendes.

After pressing the answer button, Mendes' excited voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"Lin, how did you do it? I was approached by Golden Hook Fitness"

"Golden Hook Fitness? Oh... Did Natasha call you?"

Lin Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Natasha to contact Mendes so quickly.

"Yes, Lin, tell me, how did you get to know the owner of Golden Hook Fitness? She is a famous beauty."

"Is she famous?"

After hearing Mendes' words, Lin Rui asked curiously.

"Of course, Natasha is well-known in the upper class of Europe. Most importantly, she is Friedman's youngest daughter. Do you know Friedman? He is the boss of the Alpha Group, the only oligarch in Russia."

"Oh, I see. Lin Rui didn't expect that Kok had guessed Natasha's identity correctly.

"Come on, tell me how you two met. I heard from the other person that he seemed to be very impressed with you.

Mendes's gossip was burning.

So Lin Rui told him in detail how he and Natasha met.

"You said you broke the Guinness record for bench press?"

I heard that it was because Lin Rui lifted a 1,000-pound barbell in the gym, which attracted Natasha's attention. Mendes was excited again.

"This matter can also be hyped. I will make a special report for you in a few days. This is definitely a gimmick."

Mendes said excitedly

"In addition, Natasha contacted me this time to ask you to be their image spokesperson. We still need to discuss the specific conditions in detail. The reason I called you is that you must try to make some outstanding performances recently. At the same time, I will also cooperate to create momentum for you and make you more well-known so that I can get better conditions for you in the negotiation."

"Got it! I'll do my best." Lin Rui certainly understood Mendes' intention. And this also concerns his interests, so of course he would cooperate.
