Chapter 402: Give Me a Needle to Seal
Liu Yun's brace has fundamentally changed the situation in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
With just one more goal, Manchester United will be back on the same page as Barcelona! Manchester United, who was commented by the media before the game as having 100% no hope of qualifying, is now full of hope of qualifying!
But just 1 minute after the goal, the last thing that all the Manchester United players, all the fans of the Theater of Dreams, and the manager Mourinho wanted to see happened!
The old lieutenant Liu Yun suddenly fell to the ground!
A sharp pain spread from the calf to Liu Yun's brain. He clung to his right calf in pain and fell to the ground.
The stretcher team rushed in and carried Liu Yun to the field for inspection.
On the comment bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy said worriedly: "It seems that the old lieutenant's injury still makes him unable to hold on to the whole field." However, in less than 40 minutes, one assist, two goals. His mission is accomplished! He can go down with peace of mind and watch his teammates continue to work hard and create miracles! ”
At the sideline, the team doctor complained to Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant! I've told you again and again that you want to recuperate for a month! You have to keep starting! That's good! Your gastrocnemius muscles are now rebellious! For the next two months or more, I won't be able to play at all! ”
The team doctor got up and gestured to Mourinho in the coach's box, signaling that Liu Yun could no longer continue the game.
Liu Yun grabbed the team doctor and said a word, almost causing several people in the stretcher team to spit out a mouthful of old blood: "Give me an injection to close it." ”
The team doctor couldn't believe his ears: "I'm sorry, old lieutenant, what did you say?" ”
Liu Yun said categorically: "Give me a shot to seal!" ”
The team doctor lowered his head and almost pressed his face against Liu Yun's face: "Old lieutenant, do you want to abolish your career by yourself?!" ”
Liu Yun turned his head and pointed to the stands of the Dream Theater: "Look at the more than 80,000 fans!" More than 80,000 people, with different occupations and ages, came to the Theater of Dreams on time every competition day. Do you know why? It's because Manchester United has created for them what they want, a fantastic world of football! Manchester United is their faith! Supporting Manchester United is their way of life! I can't let these 80,000 people down! Do you understand? ”
The team doctor shook his head helplessly: "Old lieutenant, I want to repeat it to you." Even if you go to the hospital now, you'll have to rest for two months before you can play again. You're not a young man in his twenties, but a 46-year-old! Now play closed back on the field, and chances are, your career will be ruined! Are you sure you want to play closed and get back on the field? ”
Liu Yun nodded stubbornly.
Jose Mourinho is ready to send Bart to the fourth official to request a substitution. But something surprising to Mourinho happened.
The team doctor injected Liu Yun into his right calf. Mourinho knew it was supposed to be a closed needle.
Then Liu Yun stood up and walked to the sideline again!
Liu Yun, the first tough guy in the Premier League, insisted on walking to the sideline under a serious injury, ready to re-enter!
Seeing this, all the fans of the Theater of Dreams gave a standing ovation.
At the seaside villa more than ten kilometers away, Isabella burst into tears: "Liu! You damn thing! Don't you really want your own legs? ”
Liu Yun re-entered. The occlusive needle worked, and the pain in the right calf disappeared. Instead, there was a hint of paralysis.
After Liu Yun got the ball, he obviously felt that his right leg was not as flexible as when he was not injured. He began to deliberately use his left foot to pass the ball.
The first half of the game drew to a close.
With the referee's whistle, the first half ended. With a brace from old lieutenant Liu Yun and a goal from Ibrahimovic, Manchester United led Barcelona 3:0!
After Liu Yun got off the field, Mourinho walked up to him and the first thing he said was: "Liu, if you feel that you can't continue to play, make a gesture to me as soon as possible!" I'll replace you in a minute! ”
Liu Yun shook his head: "Boss, I can insist!" It's not too late to replace me when we get ahead of Barcelona and seal the win. ”
Mourinho smiled wryly: "Okay, Mr. Tough Guy!" If the career of the old Manchester United captain is ruined because of a Champions League knockout game, it will be the one thing I regret the most in my coaching career! ”
Jose Mourinho and the rest of the squad returned to the dressing room. Liu Yun's teammates stood at the door of the Manchester United dressing room, waiting for the old lieutenant to be the first to enter the dressing room.
It's a Manchester United tradition. The best player in the first half was the first to walk into the dressing room at half-time.
Liu Yun entered the locker room, and he found Bayi, who had been sent off, sitting lonely in the corner.
Liu Yun walked up to Bayi and sat down, patting Bayi on the shoulder: "Bayi, I know, you did that to win!" ”
Seeing this, a group of teammates also came over to comfort the impulsive young man Bayi.
Assistant coach Bart even said to Bayi: "Nothing! In the 98 World Cup Anglo-Argentine battle, Beckham's guy made a malicious foul on Simeone and was sent off with a red card, and the whole England regarded him as a sinner! 4 years later, the World Cup was still a big battle between England and Argentina, and his goal turned himself from a sinner in England to a hero in England! You're still young, and the road is still long! ”
Bai nodded.
In fact, assistant coach Bart himself is also conflicted. He knew that the joke he had made to Bailly before the game had more or less led to his foul on Messi. For one, Bart felt that doing so was an insult to Manchester United's honour. On the other hand, Bart is hungry for Manchester United's victory.
Bart comforted himself inwardly that the football game was still fair. Messi went off the field with an injury, didn't Manchester United pay the price of being sent off, 10 against 11?
Mourinho said loudly to the disciples: "I have nothing to say about the first half of the game! Now I want to say that the second half was early in the second half to overtake the score and seal the win! Let's get the old lieutenant out early! This guy is a tough guy, but we are responsible for his career! ”
Ibu said to Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant, in the second half of the game, I suggest that you run less in the front court and pass the ball more. Score goals, it's up to me and Romelu Lukaku! ”
Liu Yun nodded.
At half-time, the second half of the game was about to begin.
Mourinho confirmed with Liu Yun again: "Old lieutenant, are you sure you can hold on in the second half?" ”
Liu Yun looked at Mourinho firmly: "Boss, don't worry, I can insist!" ”
Mourinho knows better than anyone the importance of the old lieutenant Liu Yun. In fact, the old lieutenant doesn't talk about scoring goals, he just doesn't do anything, and standing on the field is also the biggest boost to the morale of Manchester United players! Because the old lieutenant Liu Yun is now the flag of Manchester United!
Players from both sides return to the field and the second half begins!
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "Bob, I have a hunch that Manchester United can definitely create a miracle and eliminate Barcelona to reach the last four of the Champions League!" ”
Bob smiled and said, "Ha, Dunphy, I have the same hunch!" ”
