In the 31st round of the league, about 10 minutes into the game, there was a sudden change on the field.

"Quick, Gareth, go warm up!" George Li immediately said to Bell, who was chilling.

After saying that, he immediately looked at the field, where Leeds United players in blue jerseys gathered around the sideline, watching a Leeds United player fall to the ground and roll around with his ankles hugged.

Because it was close to the other side, George Lee was not very clear about the specifics of Lee Bowyer.

It's just that just now, Leeds United's Bowyer here won the ball on the left and wanted to break through the right side of the Middlesbrough defence. Bowyer knew his speed had degraded, and he wasn't the explosive player in the first place. So he first pretended to pass the ball to the middle with his left foot, and after seeing the center of gravity of Pogatts on the opposite side, he immediately flicked the ball with his left foot, and then completed the smash again with the instep of his right foot, and dunked the ball past the defending Myburgh right-back.

It was such a brilliant "croquette" action that was just about to detonate the small group of away Leeds United fans sitting in the corner.

"Hoo ......"

The fans were just amazed by this wonderful dribble and ready to get up and cheer on their players.

Pogatts scrambled to stop Bowyer's breakthrough when the defense was out of position, but he made a mistake and stepped on the ankle of the opponent's foot left behind.

"Ahh

Bowyer was in pain, and all movement stopped, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone present ran over after hearing Bowyer's screams or seeing Bowyer fall to the ground, including players from Myburgh's neighborhood. Pogatts's kick, many of them saw it, Bowyer's ankle was almost stepped on and deformed, and some timid players even secretly turned their faces away after the referee stopped the game, not daring to look at it.

"Stretcher! Stretcher! "Although the team doctor on the sidelines was already running to the field, the nearby players were already shouting on the stretcher.

George Lee stood on the sideline with both feet, constantly worrying about his players on the field. Behind him, Leeds United coaches and substitutes lined up to pray for Bowyer.

Although Bowyer was a bit unruly at Leeds United at first, he even played fans off the pitch and fought with his team-mates in games after moving to other clubs. However, the first Leeds players either left or retired, leaving only Woodgate and Smith as former team-mates, and the rest of the team joined later, without previous contact with Bowyer.

Bowyer, who has returned to Leeds United, is no longer the Bowyer who gets into trouble all day, and he is now serious about doing what a professional player should do. Training is never absent and slack, and he is also diligent in the game, some of them play according to the coach's tactics when they go on the field, wait off the field when they don't play, and use the spare time of training to guide young players.

In short, you will never see the shadow of the "bad boy" in him again, even if he still likes to go to nightclubs and bars.

Recently, Bowyer was also preparing to sign up for coaching and he was already preparing for his next retirement.

That's the kind of player who's rolling around the pitch with his ankles in his hands right now.

Immediately after being inspected by the team doctor, Bowyer was carried on a stretcher and taken off the field.

Leeds made the first substitution here, and Bale, who had a bye in this game, came on to fill the void left by Bowyer on the left side of the field.

On the sidelines, George Lee was still watching the newly resumed game with his hands on his chest, and Pogatts had just been shown a yellow card by the referee for that foul. The referee was still more merciful and did not let Myburgh face one less man in the opening 10 minutes. But the referee's meaning is also obvious, that is, if you Pogatz has a bigger move, it will definitely let you sit down with the second Topaz card.

Although the game was still going on on the court, George Lee's heart flew to Bowyer. Colin McGee and Gary Kelly have been there for the first time to see what is going on.

Soon after, McGee ran back to the dugout and shook his head at George Lee, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How long does it hurt?"

"I guess it won't work, and I won't be able to play a lot of sports after recovery." McGee is also more authoritative now, and in combination with the general conclusion just given by the team doctor, he directly pronounced a "death sentence" for Bowyer's next sports career.

"Damn!"

George Lee turned around angrily and shouted, almost startling Robben, who was closer to him on the field.

"Damn! Depend on! Lean ......"

After venting fiercely, George Li changed his mentality and motioned for Kelly, who had just run back, to accompany Bowyer to the hospital for treatment.

"Is there really no way?"

"This injury will be at least half a year old, and his foot will also be affected after recovery, so my suggestion is that he may need to retire."

"Then ......"

George Lee was about to say something when he heard an exclamation from the Myburgh fans in the stands behind him.

There was also a small cheer.

He quickly turned his head and saw the Leeds United players on the pitch celebrating their goal.

Because I didn't pay attention to chatting with McGee and Kelly just now, when I turned around, there was already a goal on the field.

It should have been Pederson who scored the goal, after all, he was the one who ran at the front, and behind him were the other Leeds United players.

George Li looked up at the big screen, waiting for the replay of the scene before he could see how the ball went in.

The initiator of the goal was Baines, who used his forward cut to cut a way on the side and then passed the ball to Bale, who received in the corner of the box, and Bale faced Pogatts, who was already carrying a yellow card, because the opponent's defense was already timid and only knew how to retreat.

But there is also an advantage to falling back, that is, he can block Bale's path, so Bale can't shoot in front of Pogaerts, he can only choose Pederson who has gone to the middle because of Bowyer's injury.

The Norwegian didn't wait for the ball to stop, and fired a long-range left-footed shot directly into the incoming ball, but the shot hit Myburgh's centre-back Taylor, and the line changed.

Before the opposing goalkeeper could react, the ball flew from the direction it originally flew to the left to the right.

1 to 0.

However, this goal did not make George Lee happy, even if he knew that Myburgh's right-back was an obvious weakness, but even if Leeds now scored 10 goals from this breakthrough, it would not reverse the impact of Leeds United's loss of Bowyer.

"Keep keeping an eye on this right-back." George Lee pulled the Leeds United players on the pitch and asked him to pass on his request to the players.

"Yes, sir." When Blake heard this, he hurried to tell his teammates one by one.

In the ensuing game, Leeds United's Baines, Bale, Pederson and even striker Kuyt were all eyeing Middlesbrough to attack.

At half-time, Leeds United entered the tunnel with a 3-0 scoreline. Despite the lead, there was no smile on the players' faces, they already knew about their team-mates, and they were about to lose a teammate they had struggled with.
