22. The End of Cottages
When Qin Goode walked out of the terminal, it was not Shao Jiayi who drove to pick him up, but Wang Haiyan, who rarely left Cottages.
"Is Brother Shao busy?" He asked, a little curiously.
Wang Haiyan shook his head with a wry smile: "He sprained his foot in the competition and couldn't drive." ”
"It doesn't matter, right?" Qin Goode couldn't help but feel sorry for Shao Jiayi: his state has finally recovered, and he has just used half a season's substitute table to impress the head coach who is not optimistic about him, if he recuperates for another two or three months, then this season will be over.
"It's not a major injury, but I have to rest for three weeks before I can start training." Wang Haiyan knew her husband's current situation, and there was a faint worry in her eyes, "I just hope that he can do his best to recover ......."
Qin Gude saw her expression and nodded silently.
Back in Ketbus, Shao Jiayi's love was really a little depressed, teasing his two daughters without a match, and when he saw Qin Goode coming, he just smiled reluctantly: "How about the New Year?" Is everything okay at home? ”
"Brother Shao, let me see your feet." Qin Gude threw down his few salutes and sat directly on the carpet in front of him.
"It's okay, it's just a little sprain, what can you see?" Shao Jiayi hurriedly waved his hand.
"You forget, my family is a third-generation Chinese medicine practitioner, and the treatment of external injuries may not be as convenient as Western medicine, but the correction of muscles and muscles is much stronger." Qin Gude reached out and grabbed his right foot, and two fingers were lightly clasped around his ankle.
Shao Jiayi couldn't help but tremble: "I didn't know you would see a doctor......
"Simple bruises and sprains, I can still look at them," he smiled, and tried a few tendons with a little force, "Sure enough, it's a common sprain, I'll knead it for you first, relax the muscles and muscles, and then trouble my sister-in-law to accompany me to find some Chinese medicine later." ”
Without waiting for the Shaw couple to nod, he put his hands together and pressed the pain together.
Shao Jiayi frowned slightly at first, but after less than five minutes, he enjoyed the feeling coming from his ankles: "You kid...... It's pretty comfortable to pinch......"
"If I go to do pedicure for others, it will cost at least 500 yuan an hour." Qin Gude boasted to himself, "Your injuries are nothing, knead twice a day, for half an hour at a time, soak in Chinese medicine for a while at night, and finally do some cold compresses, you can walk normally within a week, and it will not be a problem to resume training after ten days." ”
"Ten days?" Shao Jiayi is still a little skeptical, but he still treats the dead horse as a live horse doctor, "Recently, there have been a lot of injuries in the team, and everyone is in a very unstable state, if I can recover early, maybe I will play a few more main games......" He sighed faintly.
Qin Gude raised his gaze slightly, and saw his handsome and slightly lonely face-
Sure enough, in less than five days, Shao Jiayi was able to walk on the ground and returned to the first team after only missing two league games, which undoubtedly surprised Prashanika.
However, I have to admit that his own characteristics and character determine that he is not a key player who can turn the tide for the team, he is better at putting the icing on the cake when the team is going well, and once the pressure is too high, he, like the vast majority of domestic players, is difficult to play at 100%.
So, despite his regular chance to play, Cottages, who were riddled with injuries at the back, did not improve significantly and even fell back into the relegation zone.
From 22 to 26 rounds, Ketbus lost all five games, and each game was powerless, until the 27th round of home against relegation rival Bielefeld, the whole team suddenly woke up like a dream, burst out of tenacious fighting spirit, won the third victory in the second half with a score of 3-1, Shao Jiayi also sealed the victory for the home team with a free kick in stoppage time, and scored his third goal of the season.
However, the victory seemed to be only temporary, in the case of continuous injuries in the team, Ketbus continued to concede goals, and in the last few rounds of the league, facing the relegation shape shì, they were successively bloodwashed by Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Stuttgart and other giants, after a wave of three consecutive defeats, they are only in 17th place.
The opponent in the final round is Bayer Leverkusen, who is still a behemoth for Ketbus, despite his poor recent form.
On May 23, the 34th round of the Bundesliga was played at the same time. Two hours later, a hard-working Ivbus thrashed a surging Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 at home.
Bayer Leverkusen finished ninth, but they were not without desire, even pressing ferociously from the start, with midfielder Arturo Vidal even going off for a ferocious tackle before he could finish the first half.
Matebus, who played with one more man, went on a second-half rampage, with Emile Jula breaking the deadlock just four minutes into the game, followed by left winger Steve Rievic who also scored his first goal of the season.
Bayer Leverkusen, who conceded two goals in ten minutes, completely lost the pursuit of attack, and instead chose the most secure defensive counterattack. Prašnika also began to redeploy his squad to give the undersized players in the squad a break. And just when the substitutes were still warming up outside the field, Jura, who was about to leave the break, seized the opportunity to break through the defense of three Bayer Leverkusen players in a row, and scored his eighth goal of the season with his individual ability, 3-0!
Shao Jiayi, who played the whole game, used his personal breakthrough to create a penalty opportunity before the end, and he personally scored the football firmly into the goal, fixing the final score at 4-0, which perfectly completed the icing on the cake.
After one of the biggest wins of the season, Cottages sit third from bottom and will not be relegated outright, but they will need to play a two-legged home and away relegation play-off against third-placed Nuremberg in the Bundesliga.
The Bundesliga team against the Bundesliga team does not seem to be a grade on the surface, but both within the club and the local media are optimistic about Nuremberg without exception.
Coach Prashkica looked worriedly at the injury list handed to him by the team doctor, and the players on it could almost form a main lineup: the three strikers who have been responsible for half of the team's goals this season, Langalof, Iliyev, and Yelic, have been recovering from injuries for a long time, and only Iliyev is close to recovery; The main central defender Zvetanovic and the right midfielder Sorensen are also unlikely to play in the short term due to minor injuries in the previous round, and the ducks who take their place are veterans over 30 years old, so it is really difficult for him to rest assured.
After thinking about it for a long time, Plashanika finally decided to put on a strong attacking lineup at home in the first leg, with Shao Jiayi continuing to start and serving as the playmaker.
As mentioned before, in the face of the morale of Nuremberg, Otbus, who lacked a major general, had no strength to fight at all, and Shao Jiayi had to take care of defense more often, and it was difficult to organize a decent attack, but he still insisted on forming two threatening shots with his accurate long-range shots.
In the 34th minute, Prashkika had no choice but to make a substitution, and he used the defender Iliyev, who had just recovered from injury, to come on and replace the injured main striker Yura. After Ilyev came out, he played left midfield, and Shao Jiayi, who was 1.88 meters, was pushed to the center forward position, and then the tragedy began.
They conceded just one goal in the first half thanks to their relentless running and scrambling, but with the loss of body and mental exhaustion, the frenzied Nuremberg changed the score again after the opening of the second half, and the Ótbus players who had no resistance could only run for their lives.
The chaotic Ketbus almost gave up resistance, and all kinds of low-level mistakes were endless, and the more than 20,000 disappointed fans of Ketbus couldn't help but let out a burst of boos.
In the end, Nuremberg left Cottage Cottage with a three-goal advantage on away goals.
Cottages not only conceded three home goals, but also paid an extremely painful price: Jura and Rievic missed the second leg due to injury, so far all six players in the team who can play the forward position have been scrapped, and the coaching staff is even considering whether to continue to push Shao Jiayi to the forward line to fight to the death......
Equally unlucky, the three big men in the back line, Angelov, Kukirka and Zibich, all had injuries in the last round and it is still unknown whether they will be able to play in the game in three days' time.
However, the Cottage players didn't have time to wait for the coaches to arrange when they heard a piece of news from the club's staff that was about to break down for all of them.
Manager, Prashkika...... On the morning of May 30, he suddenly announced his resignation!
This stubborn Slovenian left Germany directly by plane, as if he had never been here!
