Chapter 876: Chasing Points
Seeing Li Liang with a heavy protective gear fixed on his right leg, walking out of the examination room with the help of Willy on crutches, Xiaoyu's eyes turned red again.
Li Liang took Xiaoyu's hand: "Okay, the expert just said that my injuries are much lighter than I imagined!"
He told me that the recovery situation would be very optimistic.
Actually, I can go by myself, everyone has to let me bring these, and these ......."
Willy also said to Xiao Yu: "Li will recover soon, in short, it is better than the best results we expected, really!" ”
Another assistant coach, Larin, led everyone out the back door of the clinic, but several reporters with a keen sense of smell photographed Manchester United's No.7 as he left the clinic.
After hanging up Larin's phone, Faria said to Mourinho with a heavy heart: "In about three weeks or even sooner, Lee will be able to resume physical training, and he will be back in our game facelift soon." ”
The magic bird was silent.
……
Early the next morning, Willie received a call from Li Liang: "Hey, brother, I feel better!"
Come on, I'm going to AON. ”
Willie replied, "I'm at the hotel."
I'm sorry, Lee, Rui (Faria) told me that my job during this time is to make sure that you recuperate from your daily treatments, and that you must not be allowed to enter the gym and step into the AON for half a step......"
Li Liang hung up the phone angrily: "They don't let me train!" ”
Xiaoyu on the side breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you working so hard, I checked the injury of the lateral ligament, and it is impossible to recover so quickly!" ”
Li Liang did not answer Xiaoyu's question directly: "After winning the derby in the last game, we only had 8 points left-
I get angry when I think about it!
Manchester City won again this round......
After Leicester City dropped two points, we are now 10 points behind Manchester City! ”
Xiao Yu comforted softly: "There is still half of the league, and it is not impossible to chase 10 points halfway."
You can take good care of your injuries, and only when you are completely injured can you help the team! ”
What Li Liang didn't say was that he believed it would be difficult for City to make mistakes again, and he wasn't sure how far the gap between the two teams would be narrowed before the next meeting with Manchester City.
Manchester City has been completely reborn this season, and even after a last-minute winner in the Manchester derby, Li Liang still felt the amazing dominance of the blue moon.
Even the day before the match against Burnley in the 20th round, Li Liang was convinced that his injury was close to healing and he could return to training, but he still could not "succeed".
Xiaoyu almost never left, and every time Li Liang tried to remove the protective gear, he was ruthlessly "suppressed" by his lover.
Even the iron-faced selfless Xiaoyu couldn't "break through", let alone the conscientious Willy, and in desperation, Li Liang had no choice but to give in.
On the day of the match against Burnley, Li Liang watched the full game while he was in the clinic.
In the 3rd minute of the opening game, Li Liang bounced off the treatment bed, and Manchester United conceded the first goal at home!
Rojo deliberately blocked midfielder Hendrick in the back of the defence and received a yellow card, and another visiting midfielder, Gervazmen, released a free-kick from the left and headed into the box, Lukaku headed the ball directly into the body of Burnley centre-back Kyle Long, and the ball bounced back and was scrambled by striker Barnes.
Li Liang refused Willy's suggestion to continue treatment, and he looked at the TV screen like a knife.
After that, the home team launched a tidal wave of onslaught under the command of Faria, Lingard and Lukaku missed good opportunities to score, Li Liang jumped off the treatment bed in anger, and Willy and the nurses hurriedly stopped it for fear of causing a recurrence of the injury.
In the 36th minute, the visitors counter-attacked quickly, and Burnley Young was fouled by Ashley Young after hitting the wall in succession, and Burnley won a free-kick in front of which was quite well-positioned.
Both Li Liang and Willy were highly nervous, and Willy even began to pray incessantly.
The visiting Belgian midfielder De Fur took the penalty, and the ball quickly crossed the wall and drew a wonderful arc straight into the corner of the goal, and De Gea did not react!
Manchester United fell behind Burnley 0-2 at home in the first half!
Willy scolded angrily, and then he and the nurse were shocked to see Li Liang jump up directly on the floor and beat his chest!
And precisely with the right leg that is being treated!
The nurse called the expert who made the initial diagnosis for Li Liang, who took off his glasses and was stunned after a nervous examination of Li Liang: "My God, Li, I think you can really resume training!" ”
Willie forgot about the 0:2 score and watched the scene with an incredulous expression.
By the time they drove to Old Trafford, the second half had already begun, and they could hear loud boos and curses from outside the pitch.
When Li Liang and Willie hurriedly walked up to the stands, the fans all exclaimed, and countless people shouted and asked, "Li, when will you be back!" ”
"We're kicking like garbage, we need you, Lee!"
At this time, Manchester United launched another offensive on the field, Lukaku picked up a pass in the middle of the field, Ashley Young swept the ball into the box on the side for the first time, and Lingard grabbed the point under the opponent's close defense!
In the 69th minute, 1:2, Manchester United finally saw the hope of equalizing or even winning!
Li Liang and Willy, like all the fans, raised their arms and shouted loudly, and the Dream Theater instantly boiled!
Li Liang couldn't help shouting: "Come on, we still have time, let's go in again!" ”
The director cleverly captured the scene of Manchester United's No.7 appearing in the stands, the fans, the Red Devils players on the pitch who had already raced against time to run back to their own half, Faria and everyone else in front of the bench saw this scene!
Mourinho, who was suspended in the stands on the other side, was shocked at first when he saw Li Liang's picture, and immediately became furious!
He ignored the voice of Faria on the walkie-talkie in his hand, took out the phone and dialed it quickly.
In the loud noise around him, Li Liang's phone was never answered.
The magic bird finally dialed Willy's phone and quickly became dumbfounded......
The Red Devils' morale was boosted after the goal was pulled back, and the visitors immediately adjusted their personnel and began to set up buses at the back.
Li Liang and Willy roared with the surrounding fans, sometimes chanting to cheer for the home team, and the Red Devils players fought for their lives, launching a continuous onslaught at the opponent's goal for the rest of the time!
In the 75th minute, Mata's free kick went out of the goal, Li Liang held his head with his hands and sighed, and the fans around him shouted to him: "Li, if it is you, this goal will definitely go in!" ”
In the 79th minute, Lukaku's header was not on top of the power and was single-handed off the crossbar by the goalkeeper.
In the 83rd minute, Lingard shot wide from distance.
The whole Theatre of Dreams fell into a huge agitation, and Manchester United left only De Gea alone at the back, and the rest were all pressed through the half-time attack!
The fourth official held up the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, and Willy bit his nails nervously, and now all the fans were already up.
In the 91st minute, Juan Mata's left-footed free kick was hoisted into the penalty area, the away defender's header was not far away, Yang stopped the ball on his chest in the scuffle and volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball hit Ben-Mi's leg and bounced, Lingard volleyed with his right foot into the net, Manchester United 2:2 Burnley.
