Chapter 534: A 90-Degree Fracture?!
The first Premier League matchday of the winter break. Chelsea vs Manchester United.
Chelsea are vowed to defend their Blues honours at home and snipe Manchester United's unbeaten record. Chelsea's Russian boss Abou offered a huge win before the game and was on hand to cheer his side on.
Stamford Bridge turned into a sea of blue. More than 40,000 Blues fans poured into the stadium. Looking at the trends this season, it's only a matter of time before United win the title. Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can only fight for runners-up in the semi-finals. However, despite United's strength, Blues fans will be hoping that their parent club can win at home against the resurgent Red Devils.
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "In this game, Manchester United sent the strongest lineup. Goalkeeper David De Gea, four defenders Humels, Eric Bailly, Felipe and Bellerin. Nemanja Matic partnered Pogba in the back two. Marcus Rashford, a single striker. Three forwards Liu, Qu and Lewandowski. Oh, this season's starting line-up is really solid. It seems that Mourinho has not made any changes to the starting line-up for a long time. ”
Fat Bob said: "It shows that this squad is the best squad for Manchester United. Perfect with almost no blemish! Not to mention the three-line triumph in the domestic arena, just to say that the Champions League group of death defeated Real Madrid, Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain in the top three... How strong does this require? Manchester United's starting line-up has been almost unbeatable this season! ”
The big-mouthed Dunphy began to introduce the Chelsea starting line-up: "On the Chelsea side, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the back three are Andreas Christensen, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta. Four midfielders Moses, Cesc Fabregas, N'Golo Kante, Pedro, three strikers Willian, Eden Hazard, Morata. Now the players of both sides have entered the stadium. Let's look forward to this game. ”
The referee blew the whistle and the game began.
No one expected that in just 5 minutes of the opening game, the situation on the field changed abruptly! What made the storm change was not the goal, but...
In the fifth minute, Liu Yun got the ball in the middle.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte gave his disciples a death order before the game. As soon as the old lieutenant guy gets the ball, one person will immediately mark the defense closely, and one person will defend it.
The person who can enjoy such treatment from Chelsea is the new Ballon d'Or winner and old lieutenant Liu Yun.
Christ Nathan slid diagonally to the 45 degree sliding tackle while Gary Cahill rushed up from the front!
Christensen's sliding tackle was unusually ferocious.
The youngster, born in '96, was very nervous when defending against the old lieutenant. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the direction of his sliding tackle was not the ball, but went straight to Liu Yun's calf!
"Click~" Liu Yun heard such a voice coming from his leg. Then there was a heart-piercing pain, and he fell to the ground, fainting from pain!
The vicious tackle took place between the flashes and the fire. Neither Mourinho nor Bart in the dugout, nor the audience in front of the TV saw it clearly.
SKY TV plays back in slow motion.
This slow-motion replay doesn't matter, it directly stunned Manchester United fans around the world, the big-mouthed Dunphy and Fat Bob in the commentary box.
Liu Yun's calf is obviously bent horizontally at a 90-degree angle!
The new Ballon d'Or winner, the old lieutenant Liu Yun, was tackled by Chelsea's defender Andreas Christensen!
Generally speaking, when the parent team fouls, the big screen at Stamford Bridge will not play back in slow motion. Perhaps it was the big-screen director at Stamford Bridge who was also a fan of Liu Yun. He played a slow-motion replay on the big screen.
The 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge were silent.
If you ask Stamford Bridge fans, apart from the players of the parent club, which player from other Premier League teams is the most. They will definitely answer without hesitation: Liu, the old lieutenant of Manchester United!
Liu Yun's character off the field and the quality of the ball on the field are obvious to all in England. Such a talented and world-class super-aged player has long won the respect of all England fans.
However... Tackled to a 90-degree fracture at Stamford Bridge?
That's enough to bury a player's career!
When Mourinho in the coach's box saw Liu Yun's 90-degree bent calf on the big screen of the stadium, he rushed to the field in spite of his identity as a head coach.
The referee took a look at Liu Yun's injury - his calf was almost terrifyingly drooping. It appears that a two-thirds cut branch is attached to the trunk of the tree.
The referee almost threw up. This kind of foul, such an injury, is the first time he has seen it in his law enforcement career.
He resisted his nausea and waved his hand to let the stretcher team in.
At the same time, Mu Shuai took out the speed of the 100-meter sprint and ran to Liu Yun's side.
The manager should be sent off for whatever reason, regardless of the reason.
The referee forgot to show Mourinho a red card.
All the United players came up to him. The stretcher team entered the stadium and urgently carried Liu Yun off the field.
The footage of the big screen at Stamford Bridge gives Liu Yun a close-up of his right calf. His calf seemed to be hanging on his leg like a prosthetic leg – almost a 90-degree angle!
SKY replayed Christensen's slide over and over again.
The loud-mouthed Dunphy, who was the commentator, burst out viciously after a minute-long silence: "Falk oil, Christensen!" Falk Oil! You're a female watchmaker! Bastard! Knave! ”
Fat Bob said nervously, "Look at the old lieutenant's injured calf... This is the worst fracture ... Enough to end his career! ”
Liu Yun was carried off the field, and the referee did not hesitate to show Christensen a red card.
The 40,000 Blues fans in the stadium actually booed Christensen, the youngster of the parent team!
Shovel off the old lieutenant's leg? Abolish the career of an old lieutenant? Instead of delighting the Chelsea fans, it disgraced them!
Who is the old lieutenant?
He's the number one tough guy in the Premier League!
He's the best player in the whole Premier League!
He's the craziest goal machine in the entire Premier League!
He's the most relatable star in the entire Premier League!
He's the most charismatic superstar in the entire Premier League!
He is the most admired foreign player in the whole of English football!
The old lieutenant's charisma transcends borders, and fans in England don't even treat him as a foreign player!
They saw the old lieutenant as a hero.
They see the old lieutenant as an inspirational model!
They see the old lieutenant as a god on the football field!
is such a player, who was actually at home and was broken by Christensen, a player of his parent team? This is the biggest disgrace of the blue flag in almost a decade!
The boos at Stamford Bridge flew towards Christensen.
I don't know who started first. The fans shouted in unison at Christensen, who was depressed and slowly pacing off the field: "Falk oil, Christensen!" ”
The chorus of 40,000 people shook the heavens and the earth.
In Stamford Bridge's 140-year history, no fan of that team has scolded the current players of their parent club at their home turf. Even in the entire history of English football, it is not common.
Even Chelsea owner Abou Abou was outraged by Christensen's malicious foul. He angrily flicked his sleeves out of the box.
What if you win such a game? It's a shame to win! Don't look at it!
