Chapter 80: One Centimeter
Hammer gave five minutes of stoppage time, and when the fourth official put up the sign, the fans, who were already under a lot of pressure, were in an uproar, they couldn't accept such stoppage time, no one was injured in the second half, and there was no long pause, and three minutes of stoppage time was about the same, five minutes was obviously a bit too much.
Becker's mood had not been smooth since ten minutes, and when he saw this stoppage time, he couldn't help but get angry, and rushed over to the fourth official and said, "Do you think this time is reasonable?" ”
The fourth official smiled: "Coach Becker, you don't think that five minutes can decide the outcome of the game. ”
Becker said angrily: "Five minutes can decide the outcome of five games, but the key is that it is unreasonable. ”
The fourth official patted Becker on the shoulder and said, "Since Coach Hammer thinks that five minutes of stoppage time should be made, then he must have a point." ”
"He's got a." Becker burst into a foul tongue and walked back to the dugout, facing unfairness, the best way is not to complain, but to beat the opponent and make the result fair.
Five minutes of stoppage time is a bit of a lot, as Karlsruhe replaced the defenders in order to break the Cottage goal, and although the number is the same, the defensive ability has dropped, and they are a bit overwhelmed by the frantic counterattack of their opponents. Five minutes of stoppage time seemed to Karlsruhe players to be so long, it was always endless, Karlsruhe in the stands were almost counting the seconds to watch the game, in this case, whether to play well or not is secondary, except for neutral fans who are not in the mood to appreciate that, winning is the most important thing.
Seeing that stoppage time was about to pass, in the last minute, Ketbus launched the last attack, almost all the players were inserted into the Karlsruhe penalty area, the box was full of people inside and outside, as if he had eaten a stimulant McKenna made waves on the left side of the Karlsruhe penalty area, his header hit Miller's face in the chaos, Miller's nose was sore, and he almost fell to the ground in a daze, the ball bounced to the relatively empty right side, and it fell right in front of Ketbus's left midfielder Baumgart, Baumgart raised his foot and shot, but someone reacted faster than him, and Li Huan's long legs shoveled over at the first time, shoveling the ball out of the sideline before Baumgart kicked it. However, Baumgart, who was embarrassed and angry, did not retract his feet, and the instep was just heavily pumped on Li Huan's calf.
The fans in the stands didn't have time to applaud Li Huan's quick defense, so they dedicated the boos and insults to Baumgart, who had no work ethic, Li Huan was their baby, and it was not good to poke a finger, not to mention a heavy kick. Fans shouted that the referee had given Baumgart a yellow card.
Martins and Capalani, who were worried about not being able to find an excuse to delay time, were also angry and accused Baumgart of deliberately kicking people, but at this time they found that Li Huan fell to the ground with his hands on his thighs and did not stand up, Li Huan never faked a fall on the court, let alone a fraudulent injury, Capalani was a little pleased to find that Li Huan had actually learned to be cunning, although the fraudulent injury is not a good quality, but it is harmless to do it occasionally at a critical moment, but what makes Capalani laugh is that Li Huan's fraudulent injury is too unprofessional, Baumgart kicked him in the calf, but he held the thigh and pretended to be injured, which was so funny, a bit of Rivaldo at the 2002 World Cup.
The referee Hammer also saw this, raised his hand and signaled Li Huan to stand up quickly, but the angry Baumgart sued first, he turned into a roaring emperor and shouted for Li Huan to get up, Li Huan still didn't get up, just snorted and said contemptuously: "The guy with bad breath is getting away for me, Lao Tzu is strained." ”
Hammer also knew at this time that Li Huan was not a fraud, so he quickly made a gesture to go on a stretcher.
At this time, everyone roughly understood that it had happened, in this case, Li Huan could only be strained, and the tackle just now was too fast and fierce, and the possibility of straining his thigh was great. Capalani's injury has not healed, if Li Huan is injured again, there will be no way to play this game, although the thigh muscle strain has little effect, but at least two to three weeks of rest. Thinking that there will be two or three weeks without Li Huan, all the fans couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.
Becker anxiously greeted him from the outside of the field, Li Huan is the pillar of Karlsruhe, how to play this game if Li Huan is injured, he doesn't dare to think about it, he can only hope that Li Huan can be injured a little lighter. Karlsruhe now has a seven-point lead over Bochum, if Bochum does not win this round, their lead will be even greater, and if Li Huan only has a muscle strain, Karlsruhe is likely to lead Li Huan's comeback.
Becker came to the sidelines on a stretcher, and the team doctor quickly checked Li Huan's injury and carried out emergency treatment, at this time, the eyes of the fans on the field were not all on the game, they all looked eagerly on the sidelines, hoping to see Li Huan stand up again, but Li Huan did not stand up, but it didn't seem that the problem was too big, and he could still watch the game by leaning on the team doctor's body. ,
Commentator Gerasim said: "Li Huan looks like he has strained his muscles, the clearance just now was very sudden, the muscles suddenly made almost beyond the limit, it is easy to strain, and the main thing is that Li Huan has not rested until now this season, and the muscles are already very tired, and there is another point that may also be an important reason for the injury, Li Huan was only an amateur player before coming to Karlsruhe, his muscles have not been professionally trained, and it seems that he can't adapt to the fierce professional football game now." The situation in Karlsruhe is very bad now, the club is in an economic crisis, Federico has not recovered from his injury, Li Huan is injured again, and now I can only hope that Li Huan's injury is not too serious. ”
The throw-in was thrown directly into the penalty area, and the Karlsruhe players destroyed the ball to the midfield, at which time the referee Hammer finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the players in Karlsruhe hurriedly walked to the sidelines to see Li Huan's injury without celebrating, while the fans on the field were shouting at the referee Hamer, if he hadn't given five minutes of stoppage time, how could Li Huan be injured.
At the post-match press conference, Becker came very late, but his expression was much better than the gloomy and almost rainy appearance on the field, and when he spoke, he took the lead in revealing the issues that fans and reporters were most concerned about, "I'm sorry, it's late, let everyone wait for a long time, fortunately, Li Huan's injury is not serious, his right leg thigh biceps muscle is torn by one centimeter, the team doctor believes that he will rest for about two to three weeks, of course, maybe two weeks to be able to exercise, but we will not take risks, please rest assured." ”
Hearing that Li Huan's injury was not serious, the reporters in the press conference hall breathed a long sigh of relief, Jia Lei's heart has always been hanging, I don't know why, she wanted to cry when she saw Li Huan lying on the ground with her hands holding her thighs, but now although her heart is down, her mood is not better, and she wants to ask Li Huan what her injury is like.
Becker then briefly talked about the game, "The opponent was tenacious, the game was tough, but luckily we got the win. The opponent fought until the last minute, this is the most tenacious opponent we have faced since the start of the game, they have a good defensive system, the help defense is very tacit, we attacked for 80 minutes and did not find their flaws, they deserve respect, but I still have to say Baumgart, his kick is very similar to the behavior of a professional player, can he kick Li Huan to make Ketbus win? It also left us with a big problem of how to deal with this kind of dense defence, which has been used almost exclusively by our opponents in the league since the defeat against Stuttgart, and we have to find a good way. In addition, I would like to talk about the referee, Mr. Hammer's law enforcement is not good for the attack, he should pay attention to the small movements of the defending side, instead of staring at the actions of the attacking side, I think a few points in the game are debatable, I will not say anything when the penalty is awarded, I believe everyone has their own different opinion. The first is a through ball that Li Huan gave to Martins in the midfield, which was a chance to score, and according to the principle of attacking advantage, Mr. Hammer should not blow the game. The second is that does stoppage time really need to be that long? For this stoppage time, we paid the consequences of a thigh strain to a key player, and thirdly, did Baumgart deserve a yellow card for that kick? But Hammer saw nothing. We don't want to question the professionalism of the referees, but we also don't want to be treated unfairly in future matches. ”
When it was Sander's turn to speak, Coach Otbus said: "I'm sorry for Li Huan's injury, and I'm sorry, I hope Li Huan can recover as soon as possible, Baumgart's kick I think he may not have time to stop it, after all, the situation was urgent, he is a professional player, and he shouldn't do such an unprofessional thing." The game was lost, I was sad, because we played very well, played our own style, our defense did not give the opponent a chance, but Li Huan's header made us defenseless, although we carefully studied the super defender before the game, but we did not see how good he was when competing for a header, he did not score a header, but today he grabbed a header in the penalty area, maybe our luck is not good enough, when the strong team plays, luck is a crucial factor. I also have something to say about the referee, that penalty, I think it is more appropriate to have a red card and a free kick, and the impact of a 1-0 score and a 2-0 score on the mentality of the players is different. Having lost, we are still confident of the rest of the tournament because there are two teams that have qualified, and the third place is still eligible for the play-offs, so Karlsruhe is not our only opponent. ”
