Chapter 875: Clear Pain
The home fans at the King Power Stadium watched as Juan Mata burst into the net with excitement as the Spaniard picked up the ball from goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and ran and punched.
As they ran past No. 7, the two high-fived each other.
Li Liang turned around and said clearly and loudly to Vardy, who was frozen on the side: "I like this kind of English football!" ”
Vardy clenched his hands into fists and his teeth clicked.
Faria couldn't stop raising his arms and roaring in the command area, and he looked back in the direction of Mourinho in the stands, and the magic bird was also waving his fists and cheering.
The mood on the pitch turned abruptly and the Reds fans who watched the away game sang and danced excitedly, and the rest of the bench were also laughing and talking.
Manchester United's players had a new look on the pitch, and the Red Devils' morale was at its highest after a lightning equaliser.
With confidence in their swing, United were firmly in control and the Foxes stepped up their runs to try to turn things around, but to little avail.
The high-intensity pressing and physical confrontation after the opening made Manchester United lose its square inch for a while, and someone stepped forward at the critical moment to turn the tide of the game and tilt the balance of victory and defeat again-
"There's only one Lee in the world, and he can ......do anything," the Red Devils fans sang as they pierced the home stadium's loud pitch.
In the 33rd minute, Li Liang cut off Ndidi's through ball in the midfield, he flashed the ball to Albrighton on the side, and cleverly knocked the ball with his heel to Ashley Young, who was inserting at high speed, after attracting Ebola's defense.
Li Liang's attention was all on the ball and the teammates who were actively running around him, and he didn't notice that the opponent's Gray rushed over fiercely-
Young stepped straight past Riyad Mahrez and fell to the ground to deliver a cross before the Foxes right wing-back Simpson intercepted!
Romelu Lukaku brought away the big centre-back Harry Maguire at the front post, and Lingard, who had been inserted into the box, jumped high and headed a powerful header -
With a huge exclamation, Schmeichel jumped sideways into the air like a god and saved the must-score goal with one hand!
The ball flew out of the small penalty area, and the left wing-back Fox hurriedly got up to clear the ball, and the exclamation became louder -
Juan Mata suddenly dodged out and hit the ball with his left foot before Fox!
Everyone watched as the ball bounced and flew into the gate!
Juan Mata slapped his arms high from the ground and ran wildly, he was immediately hugged by Jesse Lingard who caught up, and then the excited Manchester United players rushed over!
Amidst the sighs and curses around him, the magic bird rose to its feet.
Xiao Yu, who was in front of the TV in the hotel room, stood up anxiously.
The Reds players who calmed down found one less of their team-mates celebrating!
At the same time, everyone saw Li Liang lying on the turf in the distance, covering his right knee in pain.
……
Before the end of the first half, Faria replaced Li Liang, who was carried on a stretcher, with Anthony Martial.
Magic Bird quickly got up from the stands and walked to the locker room, he quickly caught up with the stretcher and asked with concern, "Lee, how are you?!" ”
Xiaoyu, who was in Manchester, kept calling Li Liang and Willy, and was already in tears.
……
Everyone in the locker room looked at each other, and Li Liang's right knee was already wrapped in a thick bandage.
The team doctor said to Mourinho: "The preliminary judgment is that it is the lateral ligament of the knee......
If this is the case, the recovery period will most likely take at least 6 weeks, if not longer......"
The magic bird's face was solemn, Li Liang struggled to get up from the treatment table and was helped to the ground by Willy: "Jose, I don't think there should be too much of a problem!" ”
The first half of the game is over and Manchester United are temporarily 2-1 up on the road.
When his teammates returned to the locker room, they all gathered around Li Liang, and Matic said angrily: "These brutes! ”
Mata, who scored twice, also scolded hatefully: "Their movements are really dirty!" ”
Li Liang shook Matic's hand: "Nemanja, I know that yellow card is you helping me fight back against them......
But I'd rather slap them in the face with victory! ”
After initial treatment and treatment, Li Liang limped back to the bench, and the second half of the game began.
Xiao Yu's phone was finally connected, and Li Liang patiently comforted: "It's okay, Xiao Yu."
It's just a topping......
It doesn't hurt, it's almost all better now! I'm going to do a scan tomorrow......
Don't worry, my body is recovering quickly, and there will be no problem......"
Leicester City have seen a look of change in midfield, with United's attacking momentum fading after the focus was on containing Mata.
Ibrahimovic said helplessly beside Li Liang: "If you and Paul are not on the field, our midfield is now lacking a role that can protect the ball and control the tempo." ”
Li Liang is also anxious, Lukaku, who has lost his midfield volunteer, has fallen silent, and United can only rely on Anthony Martial's speed to create a threat on the left.
Leicester's moves were getting bigger, with Faria bringing on Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford in quick succession to try and control, but the opposition never came out in a real threat and it looked like the game was about to end in a win for United.
Li Liang gradually relaxed, and when he was knocked down by Gray just now, his opponent pressed his knee against the side of his right knee, which made him unable to even stand up on his own for a while after he fell to the ground.
After the ice was compressed, the pain subsided, and Li Liang turned all his attention to the game that was about to end.
Amid the unremitting shouts of the crowd, Leicester City pressed all over the line at the last moment to try to equalize, Mahrez sent a cross from the right at the time of the count, and the giant central defender Maguire on the front line jumped high to hit the ball -
Li Liang even stood up, completely ignoring the clear pain that came from his thickly wrapped right knee again-
He saw the ball end up flying past De Gea's fingertips!
In the 93rd minute, the Blue Foxes equalized!
After Lukaku's kick-off, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Nemanja Matic, who received the ball, drove the ball towards the stands with an exasperated kick.
The Foxes players celebrated like they had won, and Gray ran to Li Liang, who was sitting on the bench, to apologize.
Enraged, Faria rushed at Gray, but the others at the scene hugged him tightly.
Vardy ran over and pulled Gray back, then said to Li Liang: "Lee, it's a real shame that I didn't want to ...... in this way"
Li Liang was helped to his feet by Ibrahimovic and Willy, waved his hand at Vardy and turned to leave.
……
At night in the virtual Dream Theater, Li Liang asked embarrassed: "What was injured today...... It will probably take two days to recover, right? ”
"Theoretically, you'll have 15 times faster recovery, so waking up tomorrow will make a big difference." ”
Li Liang woke up at the time he was used to, got up as usual, and his movements immediately froze-
There was still a clear pain in his right knee.
