Chapter 806: Curtain call
When Iroh's injury report came out, all the fans who followed him were like a bolt from the blue, especially the Chinese fans who heard the news and held their heads in their hands in disbelief.
According to the information given by Manchester Royal Infirmary, he will be determined to miss all the games of the season and the 19th World Cup in South Africa this summer, which means that the Chinese team, which has a chance to qualify from the group, will likely return home after the group stage.
Because on the night of Iroh's injury, FIFA held a group draw ceremony for next year's World Cup finals at the Cape Town International Convention and Exhibition Center, and the Chinese team was divided into Group D, with Germany, Serbia and Ghana in a group.
However, it had nothing to do with Iello lying in a hospital bed, and after his diagnosis at Manchester Royal Hospital, he took Abramovich's private jet to a hospital in Paris that specializes in the treatment of sports injuries for surgery.
The surgery was a success, and the attending doctor, Gerard Sayan, told Iroh that the recovery period would be at least seven months, and that it would take at least eight months to get back on the pitch.
Of course, it also has a huge impact on his future career, which means that Iroh's flexibility and speed will decrease to a certain extent after recovery, after all, the pure natural body has been destroyed, and it is basically impossible to achieve the innate dù.
That evening, Elo's attending doctor, Gerard Sajan, held a press conference at the hospital, announcing that Elo's surgery was a great success and answering questions from reporters, the most interesting of which was naturally whether Elo's injury would affect his entire career, after all, the previous Manchester Royal Infirmary's consultation report revealed a number of key injuries, which sounded chilling.
"According to Ai's attending doctor, Gerald Sajan, who was interviewed by our newspaper after an eight-hour operation, Ai's surgery was a success, but we are worried about whether Ai will be the fast and skilled Ai we are familiar with, because his main injuries are the ligaments in the left knee, tibia, and anterior tibiofibular ligaments...... As we all know, Ai's passing in the high-speed process is nothing more than an emergency stop change of direction and a high-speed change of direction, and the body parts that support him to make movements rely on the knees and ankles, so this injury is likely to have a great impact on his career, even if he returns from injury at that time, he may not be able to become the omnipotent Ai ...... in our impression."
The Times, which has always been a strong supporter of Elloh, was also not optimistic after Gerard Sajan gave an interview to reporters.
"Dutchman De Jong really responded to what he said before the game, Ai does know his awesomeness, because Ai's left foot has been completely abolished by De Jong, for a speed-based player, a partial tear of the knee ligament and a tear of the anterior tibial-fibular ligament basically means that the player can not make frequent stop-and-go changes, otherwise it is very likely that there will be a situation in the 2006 World Cup in Germany England before the golden boy Europe, without any confrontation There will be a serious injury, so to speak...... De Jong's foul ruined the first person in football today......"
Bild headline.
"It's hard to imagine that Ai would suffer such a serious personal injury when his career was still on the rise, and the importance of knee ligaments and anterior tibiofibular ligaments for speed players is self-evident, and the anterior tibiofibular ligament is especially important for players who are very good at small technical applications, because the flexibility of the ankle is completely dependent on the coordination of this soft tissue, even if Ai returns to the court after eight months, we may not be able to see him improvise on the football field! Therefore, a reckless player like the Dutchman de Jong should not be on the football pitch! In order to prevent the appearance of malicious fouls by defensive midfielders who are specifically targeting the opponent's main players in the future, I hope that the FA, UEFA and FIFA must severely punish this person, otherwise it will ......"
The headline of the day in Turin Sport.
Basically all the mainstream media in Europe have expressed their opinions on Aillo's injury, and there are also many national media who ask to deal with 'butchers' like De Jong......
It is said that on the day of Elo's diagnosis, several die-hard Chelsea fans sent several death threat letters to De Jong's home, which directly caused De Jong to seek help from the local police in Manchester.
※※※
Chelsea were eliminated from the competition in the next quarter-final replay of the English League Cup with Blackburn Rovers due to the lack of Elo and a chaotic attack in the attack, losing 2-1 away to Blackburn.
Immediately afterwards, the FA analysed the game based on the post-match report of the referee on duty Wiley and Chelsea's appeal, and classified De Jong's foul as an extremely malicious foul, with a nine-month ban and a fine of 100,000 pounds.
Of course, there is good evidence for the FA to issue the biggest fine in the history of the Premier League to De Jong, and the FA press officer said after announcing the ban and fine: "According to referee Wiley and multiple slow-motion analysis in the post-match video, Manchester City player Nigel de Jong not only had bright spikes in the game but also raised his feet, which was an extremely bad foul, and he did not choose to close his feet when the tackle was hopeless, in B6, B7, A3's slow-motion replay saw Manchester City's Nigel de Jong with a victor's smile on his face, which can be judged to be a subjective act of consciousness......
"FA lip language expert John detected from the handshake between the two players before the start of the game that Manchester City's Nigel de Jong had a clearly provocative remark when shaking hands with Chelsea player Al-Ey, to the effect of 'be careful I shovel your leg', and chose to use unreasonable tackles to defend in a number of defensive attempts in the first half, all with obvious tackle intentions, which was finally achieved in the 39th minute, so ...... We characterize this as an extremely malicious foul against a player...... Of course, Manchester City have until December 14 to appeal to the FA......"
Ballack was then sentenced to a six-match ban and fined £30,000.
However, compared to the fine issued by De Jong, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
When the FA's fine was issued, the British media was in an uproar, and the mainstream media in Europe also paid close attention to it, and everyone knew that the FA was serious.
Indeed, Chelsea have given the FA a lot of face in UEFA in the past two seasons, and seeing that Chelsea have a chance to challenge for a hat-trick Champions League title, the FA's face will be even brighter, and Chelsea's guarantee of winning the title is Elloh, but ...... Iroh was ruined for a whole season by De Jong's malicious foul, it's really unbearable for uncles and aunts!
The record number of fines is understandable.
It's just that many media outlets can't see through it, and they see it as the beginning of the FA's compliance with FIFA's protection of technical players......
Everyone's ideal Premier League is one of intense physical confrontation and quick transitions, not a series of intimidating fouls.
※※※
Iroh will have to recuperate for at least three months in the Paris rehabilitation hospital after the operation, but he is more optimistic and should have a good rest, plus he often has friends who come to visit him, so he has a good life......
It's just that before the injury, many businesses who were ready to sign a contract with Iroh retreated, and now many media are not optimistic about Iro's injury recovery, even if he returns from injury, he may not become the all-powerful Iro, and they are worried that the investment they have paid will be wasted.
However, the biggest headache for Iroh is that Li Shiyin took Li Ai from China to take care of him, and Taylor Swift seemed to feel the threat from Li Shiyin, so he urgently put his singing career aside, and chose to defend his love with Iroh to prevent Li Shiyin's mother from snatching Arlo with her son.
In the period after Iello's surgery, the Ballon d'Or and FIFA's World Footballer of the Year award also came to a final result, and Iello was re-elected without any suspense after suffering a serious injury, and he successfully equaled the current UEFA president Platini's record of winning the European Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years from 1983 to 1985, and also set a new record for consecutive World Footballer of the Year - World Footballer of the Year four times in a row.
The mainstream media in Europe reported on this in detail, but considering Elo's serious injury, except for Valencia Sport and Torino Sport, no other media believed that Elo would return to peak form after his return next season, and the Catalan media also believed that Elo would always be in the shadow of injury, from the first man in football to a player who was reduced to a player who struggled in the lower leagues......
Three months later, Iello left his bed and walked around the Paris Rehabilitation Hospital on crutches with the help of Taylor Swift.
It's really not wrong to break your muscles and bones for a hundred days.
Soon, he was captivated by a sports news report on the LCD TV on the wall, and the voice of a beautiful and sexy female announcer came into his ears: "In the second leg of the other two Champions League 1/8 finals that just ended last night, CSKA Moscow defeated Stuttgart 1:0 at home with a header from Chinese teenager Zhang Linpeng and advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 2:1, while the defending champion Chelsea lost 2:0 away to Inter Milan led by Benitez and was eliminated with an aggregate score of 1:2......"
Iroh was stunned when he saw the news, he didn't expect Chelsea to not survive this hurdle in the 1/8 finals, sighed, and continued to walk.
In fact, the result has been guessed for a long time, but it is inevitable that it will be a little sad after the result appears......
Who would have thought that Chelsea, who had won two consecutive Grand Slam seasons, would be eliminated in every cup competition this season?
PS: The Legend of the Blues: End.
