PS: The group number of this group is five, four, eight, three, five, six, eight, five, five, go to the group to talk about football.

Kevin Phillips won the ball and was offside before slotting into the box and facing goalkeeper Sorensen. Kevin Phillips easily pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal. Just as Kevin Phillips wanted to celebrate, he suddenly felt a piercing pain after his right foot was kicked by a shoe spike, and then fell to the ground. This is the left-back Samurgan, who has been following Kevin Phillips. It was too late for him to defend while Kevin Phillips was shooting, but his defensive moves didn't stop, and Samuel's left foot shoveled hard into Kevin Phillips' right foot. Sorensen, Kevin Phillips, and Samuel were lying together, and the scene was a little chaotic. The Southampton squad saw Kevin Phillips fall to the ground and gathered around.

The Sky Sports commentator, who was in charge of broadcasting the game, also called the foul unsportsmanlike and Samuel deserved a red card.

The moment Kevin Phillips scored just now, Chen Zhun couldn't suppress the excitement in his body on the sidelines, he raised his fist and roared, and just when he was about to hug Reed, he noticed the calm in the coach's box. Chen Zhun followed the coaches' gaze and turned to the stadium. Goal-scorer Kevin Phillips didn't stand up to celebrate his goal, but collapsed in pain in the Aston Villa penalty area. Aston Villa's left-back Samuel stood up at this point, and when he saw the referee walking towards him, his face was full of chagrin and loneliness, and he slowly waited for the death to be announced. The referee showed him a red card in front of Samuel and sent him off. Samuel had no objections, and he knew in his heart what the consequences of that dangerous move he had just made would have for Kevin Phillips.

Southampton's team doctor also made a preliminary treatment and diagnosis of Kevin Phillips' right foot at this time. The last thing Chen Zhun wanted to happen still happened. The team doctors made a substitution gesture to Chen Zhun on the sidelines, signaling that Kevin Phillips was no longer able to hold on to the game.

Chen Zhun has been watching everything on the field intently, and in the face of this sudden blow, Chen Zhun's heart is a little broken. For the first time, he experienced first-hand the horror and ruthlessness of an injury. Chen had no choice but to replace injured goalscorer Kevin Phillips with Marian Pajas.

As the stadium's paramedics walked out of Villa Park Stadium on a stretcher carrying Kevin Phillips, all the fans at Villa Park Stadium stood up and applauded the football warrior on the pitch. Kevin Phillips on the stretcher also gave his own thumbs up in response to hearing these applause.

When Kevin Phillips passed by Chen, he ran over to visit him and told him that Southampton Club was waiting for him to return. Amazingly, Kevin Phillips has historically moved to Aston Villa after this season.

After the sudden injury of Kevin Phillips in the game, Chen Zhun did not have the joy of scoring just now, and he kept frowning, thinking about Southampton's overstretched forward line. There are as many as six strikers in Southampton's current squad, but only the two players who are currently on the pitch will be able to play. The team's number one center, James Beatty, is out of action due to injury, and according to the team doctor's feedback, James Beatty's thigh injury will take another week to heal. And today Kevin Phillips was injured unexpectedly, and he still doesn't know how Kevin Phillips' injury is, so he has to pray in his heart that the injury will be lighter. Chen Zhun looked at the bench, where only Brett Olmerrod and Jamie Vardy were the strikers. Jamie Vardy is too young to play too early. And Chen Zhun is not interested in Olmerod, and he is ready to sell him and Pajas together in the winter transfer period.

Aston Villa's manager O'Reilly, who was in the dugout not far away, was even more depressed at this time. All of his pre-match tactical routines were disrupted by the sudden blow. O'Reilly had to replace striker Carlton Cole with right-back De La Cruz and then transplant Delaney, who had been at right-back, to the left. The intention is to defend with all their might, trying to drag the score of 1-0 until halftime. It's not terrible to be down by a goal in a game, as long as you are patient and attack, there will be a time for equalising. But to be scored by Southampton in such a self-inflicted way, and then to be sent off at a stupid left-back, the consequences were devastating. The Aston Villa players on the pitch were also demoralized, but their Swedish captain Melberg kept them cheering.

As the game continued, Chen Zhun made a downward gesture to the Southampton players on the sidelines, signaling them to stand on defense and continue to look for opportunities to counterattack. Aston Villa's players began to play impatiently because of the score behind, and the fouls became bigger and bigger when defending, and the five-minute game was intermittently blown off by referee Rennie several times, and Aston Villa's Barry and Hendry also received yellow cards for fouls. When attacking, the Aston Villa team began to play a simple and rough long pass, and the midfielder took the ball and began to make a long pass to Vassell in the front, but Vassell was unable to support himself and did not grab the ball a few times.

In the 35th minute, Svensson won the ball in midfield and found Crouch in front of him with a long pass and a low flat ball. Crouch guards the ball and prepares to turn and pass to Olmerod. But it was tackled to the ground by Aston Villa captain Melberg. Referee Rennie gave Melberry a yellow card and Southampton a free-kick in front. The free-kick was taken four or five metres from just outside the line of the Aston Villa penalty area on the left. This area was within range of Svensson's direct free-kick from Southampton. Anders Svensson's free-kick was the perfect free-kick from 25 metres out against Argentina in the final round of the 2002 World Cup group stage in South Korea and Japan. At that time, Argentina, England, Sweden, Nigeria constituted the largest group of deaths. After the first two rounds of the group stage, England and Sweden were in the top two with four points, while Argentina was third with three points. In the third round of the group stage, Sweden played Argentina. A draw for Sweden would qualify. In the end, it was Svensson's free kick that forced a draw with the mighty Argentine team, and finally beat England to win the group and qualify from the group of death. And the mighty Argentina had no choice but to get out of the tournament. After the game, the unwilling tears of the god of war Barty, and the back of the "son of the wind" Caniggia who had no choice but to leave, have all become the memories of Chen Zhun's hazy childhood.
