Chapter 268 Impressed by Real Madrid
Eric Abidal was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his liver, and in a sense, he was also a blessing in disguise.
Four days after Abidal was hospitalized, when Barcelona went away to play the 28th round of La Liga, the timing of his surgery was also confirmed, which would be six days later, on March 18. The surgery will remove as much of the tumor as possible to buy time for a liver transplant.
Because it is a malignant tumor, the cancer has spread, and liver transplantation is the only way to truly cure it, and other methods can only be temporarily suppressed. As for how much waiting time can be left for the transplant, it will depend on the effect of the surgery on the 18th.
At the Estadio Pizjuan, Barcelona drew 1-1 with arch-rivals Sevilla, and in the 30th minute of the first half, Zhuo Yang added Alves' shot to the goal. Five minutes into the second half, Jesús Navas took advantage of Valdés' mistake and headed in an empty goalkeeper to equalise. It was Navas, who was given a palm print relief on his face by Hamsik that year, and he still doesn't know who drew it.
Messi's luck stinked to the extreme in this game, two goals were disallowed and two more shots hit the post. The direct free-kick was flawless, but the short-sighted Sergio Busquets pushed Alexis in the box as he scrambled for position, allowing referee Pérez Lassa to find an excuse to blow the penalty out of action. Even Alexis said after the game that he was surprised by the decision, believing that Bouna was a common move on the football field.
In the second half, Boss Mei finally made a header to score, but Xiaobai handballed before passing.
Because Real Madrid won 2-0 at home to Hergus in the same round that ended yesterday, so that the gap between them and Barcelona in points was reduced to five points. There are still 10 rounds left in the league, and 5 points is by no means an insurmountable barrier.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are a pair of world-famous mortal enemies, but a move by Real Madrid three days later not only surprised Barcelona, but also made Zhuo Yang look at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid hosted Lyon in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, where they eliminated Lyon 3-0 on aggregate and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in seven seasons. This is not the point, after the game, Real Madrid and Lyon changed into T-shirts with pre-printed text.
——?? NIMO ABIDAL。 Come on, Abidal!
The moves of Real Madrid and Lyon were heartwarming, and FC Barcelona, although a little confused, kept busy expressing their gratitude to both clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona are by no means mortal football rivals, the two clubs are fighting each other in all directions from political leanings, business philosophy, and geographical representation, and they have been fighting for a hundred years.
Maybe it's because of the personal relationship between Florentino and Rusell, maybe it's because Real Madrid is more international, or maybe it's because of the joy of finally breaking through the shackles of the 'Champions League 16', and Real Madrid deserves praise for this groundbreaking move.
Zhuo Yang couldn't help but secretly admire the heart of the giants of Real Madrid, because he was in Barcelona and knew best how bad the two families were. Especially in recent seasons, especially this season, Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barcelona in all directions, and it can be suffocated to death. Even if it is hypocritical, even if it is for the sake of political correctness, it is definitely a reflection of the pattern to choose to show a high profile when it is so embarrassing.
Anyway, in Zhuo Yang's opinion, if Real Madrid Las Diarra had liver cancer, Barcelona would definitely not have this kind of leisure.
Real Madrid's move caused a chain reaction in football, many clubs have followed Real Madrid's example, sending condolences and blessings to Abidal, and for a time it has become a hot event in international football, and the French defender has never been a household name like now, and the last time he became famous was because of his strike in the World Cup.
The top management of FC Barcelona is also full of smart people, and if they don't take advantage of this wave of public opinion to raise their moral image standards, wouldn't it be sympathetic in vain? On March 17, the day before Abidal's surgery, the first vice president of Barcelona publicly announced on behalf of the club that Barcelona would reach a contract extension with Abidal in the shortest possible time.
Originally, Barcelona was pushing mushrooms with Abidal's agent, while seriously assessing the necessity of his contract renewal, and was also privately looking for new additions to the defender line, and the top management initially tended not to renew the contract for the time being, if there can be a suitable reinforcement in the summer, Abidal will be sold, after all, he is 32 years old, and the salary is not low.
But after this incident came out, it added a weight called 'building an image' to the Barcelona top management who were still hesitating, of course, from another point of view, it is not impossible to call it moral kidnapping. If he refuses to renew his contract with Abidal, Barcelona will be drowned in saliva all over the world, and a label with a cold nature will be difficult to wash away in the future, and it will be decisive and clear that the contract will be renewed, and it will immediately become a warm Barcelona full of humanity and love.
So, good and bad, for FC Barcelona and for Abidal.
Before the announcement, of course, the club will first inform Abidal of the good news, and Abidal, who felt the love and warmth, went to Gamber Sports City in the afternoon to visit his teammates who were training, despite the fact that he would have surgery early tomorrow morning.
Abidal not only joked that Gua Shuai would put him in the squad for the day after tomorrow, but also swore that he promised: I have a hunch that we will easily win Getafe, and Zhuo Yang will score two.
Zhuo Yang has been surrounded by these friends in Barcelona all day long in the past two days, and he wants to let him see if he has any illness, as if he is reincarnated by a CT machine. explained over and over again, made them go to the hospital for physical examinations frequently, and urged them to believe in science instead of metaphysics, but these indiscriminate attempts were to deliberately make trouble with him. forced Zhuo Yang to be anxious, and yelled: Let me see it, right? Look who doesn't! The gang dispersed in a hurry.
At noon the next day, news came from the hospital that Abidal's operation was a complete success.
It is indeed a malignant tumor, and there is no such thing as a surprise to be thankful for. Doctors said Abidal would be discharged from the hospital in 10 days, and his recovery would not prevent him from continuing to play. After that, you only need to take your medication without interruption, which can earn you a minimum waiting time of two years for a liver transplant.
Zhuo Yang felt that what had happened in the past few days was really amazing. His mouth opened inexplicably, Abidar should be blessed if he didn't die, and he and he turned enemies into friends in a daze. In short, Abidal is an amazing person.
But in the 29th round of La Liga at home against Getafe, Abidal was not too magical. Barcelona's 2-1 win was not easy, and Zhuo Yang did not score two as he predicted, with goals from Alves and Bojan bringing the team back the win.
Because of the pain in his thigh, Zhuo Yang was replaced by Bojan at halftime, and was diagnosed with a muscle strain, which required ten days to two weeks of rest. As a result, Zhuo Yang will miss the next two international breaks, and it is doubtful that he will even be able to catch up with the quarterfinals of the Champions League early next month.
