Chapter 17: A Black Day
Leicester's dressing room was lifeless, but Ranieri continued to encourage his players, and he also signaled his players to start attacking in the second half and stop defending and counter-attacking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
At the start of the second half, there were no substitutions for either side. Leicester City kicked off, and central defender Morgan got the ball and went directly to Vardy, and the ball was pushed out by Tottenham's central defender Vertonghen and fell right at the feet of Liu Heng. Liu Heng didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and shot with one kick, one anti-aircraft gun. At the beginning, Leicester City began to attack fiercely, attacking again and again, but Tottenham's tight defense defended to defuse the danger one by one. In the 60th minute, Vardy won the ball on the left side, ready to break through Walker, but was put to the ground by Walker with a classic takedown, Vardy suddenly ignited the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, stood up and choked Walker with his hand, Walker immediately fell to the ground, rolling around his neck. The referee came to the scene of the incident and played fifty boards each. Vardy was scared for a while, thinking that he had already been sentenced to death with a red card. The referee warned Vardy to control his emotions, and Liu Heng, who was not far away, clearly saw all this, and the depression and anger in his heart were slowly rising. Throughout the game, Liu Heng and the Leicester City team moved forward in a depressing atmosphere, unable to touch the ball, unable to organize an attack, just like a fist hitting cotton, unable to exert strength.
In the 55th minute, Ranie took advantage of a second substitution, replacing Vardy, who was carrying a yellow card, with high striker Uroa. The game went on, with Leicester dominating the ball and Tottenham Hotspur starting a defensive formation after scoring a goal and not continuing to chase after the victory. After the substitution, Leicester City had a clear advantage in the header scramble up front. Schmeichel kicked off with a big foot, Uroa grabbed the first point and gave it to Liu Heng, who used his skillful foot skills to get rid of Dyer's defense, and saw that Masson was running towards him, Mahrez also ran over to answer at this time, Liu Heng passed the ball to Mahrez, and Masson ran to Mahrez again. At this time, Liu Heng ran to the position of Mahrez's left midfielder, and Mahrez saw where Liu Heng had run, so he took advantage of the situation and made a pick-up pass, which crossed the top of Ma Song's head and passed to Liu Heng's feet. Walker saw Liu Heng holding the ball and didn't dare to step forward to force it, he knew Liu Heng's speed and technique, for fear that he would be accidentally passed by Liu Heng. Liu Heng saw that Walker didn't mean to step forward and grab, but just kept his hands behind his back in the appropriate position. He sent in a cross from Walker's defence, which made a beautiful arc and reached the head of Uroa, who flicked his head and smashed the ball into the near corner. Pity! Uroa's header was miraculously saved by Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Lloris, who grabbed the second point and was blocked by Lloris with his face, and was driven by Alderweireld to clear the bottom line. God!! Lloris made a miraculous double save and blocked the ball with his own face. Uroa slapped the lawn the ground. And Loris has a distinctly round red mark on his face. This is the goalkeeper, a position that can become a god overnight and a sinner overnight. Drinkwater's corner kick was also safely picked up by Lloris. As the game passed, in the 65th minute, Kane dribbled too much in midfield and was tackled by Drinkwater. After Drinkwater's steal, he glanced up and saw Liu Heng beckoning for the ball on the right side of the court, go you, a long pass accurately reached Liu Heng's feet, and began to counterattack!! Liu Heng added all the energy in his body to his two legs, come on! Tottenham players, come one, I'll live one! Come on a gang, I'll break a gang! Liu Heng rushed to the penalty area with the ball at lightning speed, he had already passed three defenders, and only the goalkeeper was left in front of him. Wrong!! And one more! Tottenham central defender Alderweireld came from the left side, raised his right foot and kicked Liu Heng. Liu Henggang wanted to pass the ball to Uroa, but it was too late, Liu Heng was kicked in the penalty area line with Alderweireld's right foot with the ball. The moment Liu Heng fell to the ground, he felt the piercing pain in his right calf, he screamed in pain and fell to the ground, he felt that the light was getting weaker and weaker, and only found that there were many people in front of him. So many people ... Fainted. Because the footage was too bloody, the sports station in charge of broadcasting the game did not broadcast the footage in slow motion. Judging from the replay after the game, Liu Heng's right calf was kicked by Alderweireld to about 90 degrees, and the scene was very bloody. Leicester City's team doctors quickly entered the field, and after looking at Liu Heng's injury, they made a gesture to coach Ranieri to break his leg. Ranieri's face was full of seriousness, and his hands were already shaking. He was worried that the child's football career would be ruined because of this injury. Alderweireld was shown a red card by the referee on the spot and sent off. Alderweireld obviously didn't expect that his uncalm behavior was likely to ruin Liu Heng's career, he was reluctant to leave the arena for a long time, looking at Liu Heng who was no longer able to breathe on his own on the ground, his eyes were already a little tearful. Liu Heng was carried on a stretcher and quickly sent to the hospital. There have been countless broken legs in the Premier League, and Liu Heng has become one of them tragically. All the fans at the King Power Stadium spontaneously stood up to applaud the Chinese warrior, hoping that Liu Heng would get up again and run and shoot on the field. Leicester City finally relied on Liu Heng's desperate penalty to draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Ranieri has been worried about Liu Heng's injury since he hugged Pochettino, hoping that God will have mercy on this child and make him less painful.
In the German arena, Liu Xin did not know the news of Liu Heng's serious injury. At the beginning of the second half, Bayern Munich took the lead in substitutions. Lewandowski was replaced by a mediocre Robben. Pep Guardiola seems to have slowed down the team's tempo, but in fact, he used Lewandowski's all-round ability to revitalize Bayern's frontcourt, used Douglas Costa's impact to disrupt Hoffenheim's defense, and used Thomas Muller's ability to grab points to finish the game. In the 50th minute, Bayern took the lead when Douglas Costa shook off the left rib of Kadezabek and burst into the box to shoot from a tight angle, hitting the woodwork again. Bayern Munich hit the woodwork for the fourth time in this game! In the 58th minute, Bayern made a comeback, Douglas Costa once again used his speed advantage to force the opposing defender, crossed in front of the goal, and Thomas Muller grabbed the spot!!! Entered!! GOAL!!! Bayern Munich finally equalised in the 58th minute. Hoffenheim woke up from a dream after being equalized by Bayern Munich and began to play against Bayern Munich. The pace of the game was fast and the scene was very good. In the 63rd minute, Hoffenheim won a free kick in front of Bayern Munich's penalty line on the left side of the rib, and Polanski, the core of Hoffenheim's midfield, passed the ball into the box and was pushed out of the box by Benatia. Hoffenheim's centre-forward Flender picked up the ball and Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller stepped forward to press it on, and he passed it to Schwiegler next to him. Schwiegler shot with his feet, the power of the shot was very small, and the ball spun into Liu Xin's arms with some spins. Liu Xin fell to the ground and easily got the ball, no, the ball was not in Liu Xin's arms. Oh!! Oh my God!! Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Liu Xin made a low-level mistake like a butter hand, Liu Xin didn't hold the ball tightly, he didn't have time to save, and the ball rolled between his legs into the goal. Oh!! It is unbelievable that Liu Xin, the best goalkeeper in the Champions League, made such a low-level mistake. Liu Xin couldn't hide his loss, sat on the ground and shook his head. Guardiola also shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. In the remaining 20 minutes, although Bayern Munich got up from the atmosphere of conceding the goal, it could no longer form an effective danger to Hoffenheim and lost the game. Liu Xin walked out of the court without saying a word after the game. Some radical Bayern Munich fans pointed and scolded Liu Xin.
Bayern's dressing room was equally lifeless. Everyone sat in their seats and said nothing. Liu Xin is even more dark in front of him, he has played for Bayern Munich for 5 years, this is the first time he has made such a low-level mistake, he feels sorry for his teammates and the manager.
Liu Xin slowly stood up and said loudly: "I'm sorry, teammates, coach, I apologize to everyone for the defeat caused by my mistakes." I'm sorry. After speaking, Liu Xin bowed deeply.
Pep Guardiola walked up to Liu Xin and comforted: "Hey, Liu." It's not your fault alone, don't take it personally. Prepare well for the competitions ahead. ”
That's what Guardiola said, but Liu Xin understands that his main goalkeeper position should be gone. Manuel Neuer's quality is completely above him, and he deserves to be the first-choice goalkeeper.
This day is a black day for Liu Heng and Liu Xin, Liu Heng suffered the most serious injury in his career, he is just 17 years old, and his psychological quality is far from being so mature. This serious injury is likely to jeopardize Liu Heng's entire football career. The news of Liu Heng's serious injury also spread to domestic fans, and everyone was praying for Liu Heng, hoping that this rare talent in China would not be hit by injuries. Major Chinese media outlets are also paying attention to the injury. Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri rushed to hospital immediately after attending the press conference. Liu Xin, who is far away in Germany, is also experiencing the lowest point in his career, and he made the most low-level mistake that a goalkeeper should not make in today's game, and the goalkeeper is such a position that can become a god or a sinner. Liu Xin felt the meaning of this sentence today, and the price he felt was very heavy. Such mistakes will accompany him in his later career, and will also affect his self-confidence and affect future competitions. In the future, the image of his buttery hand will appear in various football funny highlights for people to laugh about.
When darkness comes, do not be afraid, it is a sign that the light is not far away.
