"One kick, I only used one kick, and he went home!"
Costa patted Li Chuanqi's hand and said, "Relax and recover, we will win the next two games!"
Li Chuanqi said to Costa with a face full of regret: "Hey!... It seems that I can only get it back in La Liga..."
Teammates came to the hospital to visit Li Chuanqi. Ramos and others left soon after, while Atletico Madrid players stayed. Costa talked about how he "punished" Pique.
"Rubbish!"
Juanfran's anger is still not gone: "Go back to La Liga and see how I deal with him!"
Atletico Madrid players are very united.
…
Bosque looked at the scenery outside the window and said: "With Pique leaving, the team should be able to unite..."
Several assistants looked at each other and expressed their opinions: "We should be able to unite for the time being."
"They have vented their anger and should be able to focus on the game."
Del Bosque turned to look at his assistants and asked: "Do you think I have any objection to whether there will be more Harveys or not?"
The Barcelona gang has a great say in the Spanish team's dressing room. If the Barcelona gang does not support Del Bosque, he will basically be left alone as a coach.
Whether it's a quarrel in the restaurant or letting Costa go in the training ground, the Barcelona gang is watching.
Pique is an important member of the Barcelona gang. If Bosque does this, will the Barcelona gang rebound?
"Even if Xavi has an opinion, he can't express it. As for Iniesta... we all know his thoughts. Even if the other few have opinions and opinions... they don't have enough weight."
"Xavi and Iniesta should know that this is their last World Cup. If they want to achieve good results, they can only endure it. If..."
"They haven't caused any trouble so far, which shows that they want to get results!"
"Why do Xavi and the others have an objection? This is Pique himself ruining his own future. Just look at the reaction of the fans. It is said that Pique's house in Barcelona was almost burned down by the fans..."
The Spanish coaching staff assessed the impact of Pique's departure.
Regarding the fact that Pique "accidentally" stepped on Li Chuanqi and that Pique immediately left Brazil "due to injury", other countries' media reported it, believing that this was a manifestation of the internal strife in the Spanish team.
The president of the Spanish Football Federation quickly stepped in to put out the fire and told the media that Pique's kick was indeed "accidental". As for Pique leaving Brazil due to injury, this was also an accident!
The Spanish media quickly cooled down on the incident and focused its coverage elsewhere.
In this way, with the efforts of the Football Association and the media, this matter was slowly suppressed, and fans turned their attention to other games. After all, this is the World Cup held every four years, and there are many exciting games.
