Luo Kai was sitting on the turf on the sidelines, and the stretcher had been removed.
He was surrounded by Tramed's team doctor, head coach, and assistant coaches.
Team doctors are briefing head coach Kevin Lock on the situation
"...His ankle is sprained, but I can't tell how his ligaments are now. He said that he has not lost the feeling of the ankle, so the ligaments should not be broken...I performed simple treatment on his ankle...
To be honest, I am more inclined not to let him continue to play in the game, otherwise the injury may worsen..."
While the team doctor was telling the story, Luo Kai sat slumped on the ground with his head lowered, showing no enthusiasm for playing again.
He has actually made a choice in his heart.
He is unwilling to force the game and aggravate the injury. He still wants to participate in the World Cup.
This decision made him feel very sorry for the club that paid him wages, and made him feel that he had become a shameful deserter.
After listening to the team doctor's introduction, Kevin Locke lowered his head and looked at Luo Kai.
"I know." He said.
Then he put his hand on Luo Kai's shoulder and pressed it.
"Have a good rest, Luo."
This brings the matter to an end.
Hearing these words from the head coach, Luo Kai felt relieved, but at the same time he felt ashamed of his choice, so he raised his hands to cover his face.
However, in the eyes of He Feng, who didn't know what he was doing, his actions had a different meaning.
He Feng exclaimed:
"Luo Kai covered his face...it looked like he was seriously injured! This is simply..."
He tried hard to resist the urge to curse.
What are you really afraid of?
In He Feng's experience, when players cover their faces with their hands, it basically means they know their injuries are serious.
After all, you know the extent of your injuries. If you weren't really seriously injured, who would make such desperate movements and expressions?
Sure enough, Tramed soon made substitution adjustments, and the injured Luo Kai was replaced. Obviously, he could no longer insist on continuing the game.
He Feng felt that he didn't even have the time to explain the game properly.
He now wished that the game would be over immediately and then he would know the results of Luo Kai's detailed examination at the hospital.
Tramed, who lost Roquet, was indeed weakened offensively.
As Tramed's main offensive player on the right this season, Luo Kai's importance is self-evident.
At the critical moment when the team needs to work hard to defeat Catalonia United, without Luo Kai, the "Red Witch" who originally flew with two wings has become an "old witch with broken wings".
However, Catalonia also paid a price - their main left back Calderon was directly sent off with a red card for fouling someone from the side and behind!
Even if Catalonia can still reach the Champions League final, Calderon will be unable to participate due to suspension.
The Catalan United were very dissatisfied with the result of this penalty. Both the players and the coaching staff protested fiercely after the referee showed Calderon a red card.
Catalan United assistant coach Steyn van Hoyzen also received a yellow card for this.
Obviously Catalonia United is also very aware of the serious impact that losing Calderon will have on the team's offensive and defensive system.
With one player missing, Catalonia United shrunk in all aspects in the subsequent games and played very conservatively.
England commentator Matthew Cox said sarcastically: "It's incredible. Is this the Catalan United? Is it the Catalan United that always talks about "beautiful football"? God, I thought today and
The Tramed match is against the Turin Bulls!"
The sky above the red-domed stadium was filled with loud boos.
Amid huge boos, Tramed's entire team launched a fierce charge towards the Catalan United goal.
And scored another goal in the 77th minute.
The goal this time was Portuguese star Ricardo Barea.
He cut inside from outside the penalty area and then shot from long range, breaking the fingers of Catalan United goalkeeper Toni Schulman.
After the goal, Tramed center Papbonet, who wanted to rush into the goal to pick up the football, also had a conflict with Catalan United goalkeeper Schulman. At that time, Schulman had quick eyes and quick hands.
Suddenly he picked up the football from the door and put it under him. If you didn't see the position of him lying down, you would have thought he had saved the ball...
Bonnet, who wanted to kick off the ball quickly, could only steal it from Schulman's arms.
His rough behavior aroused the reaction of the Catalan players who had been waiting for an excuse to provoke a conflict, and they quickly surrounded him.
At the same time, Tramed's players also came up to support Bonet.
After Calderon tackled and injured Luo Kai, the two sides had another physical conflict.
In the end, the referee ended the conflict by giving Bonnet and Salado a yellow card each.
Football was still given to Tramed's players, but Catalonia's goal had been achieved. Not only did they not allow Tramed to kick off the ball quickly, they further disgusted their opponents and made Tramed's players lose their minds.
Just listen to the even more violent storm of boos from the home team fans in the stands, which well reflects the aspirations of the Tramed fans, and will also profoundly affect the Tramed players on the field.
Sure enough, until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tramed failed to score again.
In fact, they only needed to score one more goal to send the game into overtime.
But even this ball seemed like a chasm for Tramed.
In the end, they were eliminated by Catalonia United at home with a total score of 2:3!
In the red-domed stadium full of boos, the Catalan United players hugged each other.
Congratulations to Catalonia United! They became the first team to reach the Champions League final!" the commentator of Catalan TV said excitedly.
Renaldo Lima cheered and threw himself at Kabangca, hugging him and celebrating: "That's great! We're in the final!! Target championship! Champions League championship!"
He just won the Copa Libertadores in Russell last year, and he will win the Champions League in half a year, which can be regarded as a legend in football.
The only regret is that there is no Club World Cup champion between the two. Otherwise, it would be unprecedented to win three continental championships in one year.
Next to the cheering Catalan United players were Tramed's players who collapsed on the ground.
"Although Tramed performed very bravely at home and defeated Catalonia United, the gap of two goals behind in the first round was really too big... This kind of situation is in the quarter-finals, or even in the quarters.
It is possible to come back even in the finals. In the semi-finals, when the two teams are in a strong dialogue, losing two goals in the first round will be too difficult and almost impossible..."
Matthew Cox was in the commentary box and sighed as he looked at the scene of joy and sorrow in the field.
He really felt sorry for Tramed.
Because this team performed really well in the second round.
If it hadn't been for Luo Kai's injury, maybe Tramed would have really been able to score another goal?
The television broadcast scanned Tramed's players in turn.
Some of them were lying on the ground, covering their faces with their hands. Some of them were standing there with their hands on their hips, looking numbly at where they were looking.
Then the broadcast camera stayed on Luo Kai on the bench for one second longer, and this second gave him an ice pack wrapped around his left ankle.
Seeing this shot, He Feng said in a low voice: "I hope it's not a big problem... I hope it's just a false alarm..."
For a long time after Luo Kai was injured and was substituted, He Feng was not in the mood to explain the ongoing game.
Although the competition was very intense, his tone revealed a sense of indifference.
No matter who you love, it doesn’t matter if there is no Luo Kai, whether Tramed or Catalonia reaches the final.
He repeatedly mentioned the impact Luo Kai's injury might have on the Chinese team's World Cup journey.
In He Feng's view, not only Hu Lai, but also everyone in the current main lineup of the Chinese team is indispensable.
They can't lose Hu Lai, they can't lose Luo Kai, they can't lose Zhang Qinghuan, they can't lose Xia Xiaoyu... they can't lose anyone.
Everyone has an irreplaceable and important role.
When Ricardo Barilla scored the second goal for the team and narrowed the total score difference to only one goal, Luo Kai on the bench was very excited.
Although there is no way he can be like his companions around him
He rushed out to cheer and celebrate, and sat on the bench's chair, pumping his fists vigorously.
At that moment, he really regained hope of advancing to the finals.
Although even if the team reaches the finals, there is a high probability that he will not be able to catch up. But if he does reach the finals, he will feel less guilty about the club in his heart - at least it will not be because of his departure that caused the team's collapse.
fail.
He desperately hopes that Ricardo Barea can steal all the limelight, transform into a god, and lead the team to reverse course and advance.
It's just that all his fantasies and longings came to nothing in the end.
After the final whistle was blown, he sat blankly on the bench's chair, silently looking at the cheering Catalan United players in the field.
Falling down at the closest place to the Champions League final, I still don’t know if I can participate in the World Cup
Since entering professional football, he has suffered many setbacks:
When he was in Hedong Thunder, he was seriously injured due to training too hard, which interrupted his upward momentum; he finally transferred to the giant Tramed, but his performance was poor in the first season when he was loaned to Veronica, and he became everyone's favorite.
A negative example of human beings; his beloved goddess fell in love with the clown he despised, and it turned out that he himself was the clown...
Every time, he tried to regard these setbacks as a test for himself, but today for the first time, he felt that fate was a little...too cruel to him.
