At half-time, Simeone praised the team's first-half performance.

Especially Lin Rui, he was even more appreciative.

Now he is looking at Lin Rui more and more pleasantly.

He would never have imagined that he was just a young player who was casually promoted in the B team, and now he became the team's top scorer.

In these games, the biggest contributor to the team's victory is Lin Rui.

Simeone also didn't have much to say about the arrangement of the second half.

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

Then the dressing room was left to the players.

The time at halftime passed quickly.

When the players from both sides returned to the pitch, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.

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

But soon, they paid the price for their own rashness.

In the 54th minute, Luciano's pass in midfield was cut off by Gabi.

Gabi directly found Turan, who was moving on the right with a long pass.

Turan dribbled the ball down the right and then crossed to kick the ball into the box.

There, Lin Rui had already taken his position.

Facing two tall Russian central defenders, Lin Rui directly jumped up with a header to compete for the top.

Although the two Krasnodar defenders had tried their best to block, the gap in strength still defeated them.

Lin Rui easily pushed the ball to it.

Due to the proximity to the goal, Yuri Ishchenko could not even make a save, and the ball flew into the goal.

3 to 0!

Lin Rui scored another hat-trick.

This time, Lin Rui did not celebrate after the goal, but only high-fived his teammates who ran over, which seemed very free.

But in the live broadcast room, it was already excited.

The three hosts all shot up and gave each other high fives.

It seems that they are the ones who scored the goal.

In the box in the stands, Natasha also gave a standing ovation.

Even Salenko, who was not optimistic about Lin Rui at first, could only shake his head helplessly, and then applauded along with him.

Lin Rui's performance completely conquered them.

And Krasnodar's players also became a little dismotivated after this goal.

When the game resumed, their offense was visibly hesitant.

I want to score a goal to get the score back, but I am afraid that the other side will score again.

Especially seeing the big man of No. 18 dangling in his own half, the Krasnodar players were a little flustered.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, 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 it is not they who are in a hurry.

In this way, the whole game presents an eerie balance.

The backward side hesitates to press the attack, while the first side leisurely pours its feet at the back, consuming the game time.

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

It's also unclear whether the boos are for the away team or for the home team.

And the time of the game is also under this consumption, minute by minute.

It was only in the 81st minute of the game that Krasnodar organized a decent attack.

It was eventually scored by their No.10 striker Dimitry Terz.

This ball can be regarded as saving a trace of Krasnodar's face.

But soon, they were struck by the ruthless reality.

In the 84th minute, just three minutes after Telz's goal, Atletico Madrid immediately returned to the color.

Raul Garcia headed straight into the box in the middle, and Falcao was astute enough to poke straight into the net before the goalkeeper pounced.

The score became 4-1.

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

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

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

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

After Falcao scored this goal, it completely extinguished the momentum of Krasnodar's counterattack.

Plus the race is nearing its end.

There is no more decent attack on either side.

The 4-1 score was held until the end.

Seeing that the game was over, Natasha in the box couldn't wait to take out the phone and call the number Lin Rui left for his Mendes.

On the other hand, Lin Rui once again won the best honor in the field.

This time, he has won three games of the game and scored nine goals, which is simply against the sky.

So at this time, in China, Lin Rui's limelight was unmatched.

Definitely the most popular sports star in recent times.

Another match in Group B, held at the same time, has also ended.

In the end, Atalanta narrowly beat Prad 1-0 away.

In this way, Atletico Madrid temporarily ranked first in the group with goal difference.

In the next group game, Atletico Madrid will face Prad at home.

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

Lin Rui looked at the number, but it was Mendes who called.

Press the connect button, and on the other side of the phone, Mendez's excited voice rang.

"Lin, how did you do it? Unexpectedly, Golden Hook Fitness found me.

"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 quickly, how did you meet the boss of Golden Hook Fitness? That's a famous beauty.

"Is she famous?"

Hearing Mendes' words, Lin Rui asked a little strangely.

Of course, Natasha was famous in high society throughout Europe. Most importantly, she is Friedman's youngest daughter. Friedman, you know, right? It is the boss of the only oligarchic alpha group in existence in Russia.

"Oh, so it is." Lin Rui didn't expect that this Natasha's identity was really guessed correctly by Cork.

"Quick, tell me how you met, I heard the other party's tone seems to be very appreciative of you."

Mendes' gossip is raging.

So Lin Rui told in detail the process of knowing himself and Natasha.

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

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

"This matter can also be hyped, and I'll make a declaration for you in a few days, which is definitely a gimmick."

Mendes said excitedly.

"Also, this time Natasha contacted me to ask you to be their spokesperson. The specific conditions we need to discuss carefully, what I mean by calling you is that you must try to have some bright performance recently, and at the same time I will cooperate with you to create momentum and make your popularity higher. So that I can negotiate better terms for you.

"Understood! I'll try my best. Of course, Lin Rui understood Mendes' intentions. And it's in his interests, so of course he will cooperate.
