Chapter 89
"Damn it, damn it."
"This is not fatigue, this is almost torn!" The team doctor came on the court, and the anxious voice came from the headset, and Wei Le's heart sank.
The team doctor could feel the obvious muscle fiber rupture on the outside of Qi Luo's thigh.
"He is really not good this time, we need to change players, we need to go to the hospital immediately."
Sellars cast an inquiring look, and Wei Le waved his hand and pointed to the old captain Edwards sitting on the bench.
"Go warm up, you need to play now!"
Edwards saw the scene on the court and became more anxious. He took off his training vest and ran to the warm-up area.
"Slow down, don't fall, damn it!" Sellars shouted from behind, he didn't want the team to have any more non-combat casualties.
"Ziro looks like he can't go on, and he's been on the field for less than a minute!" Martin Taylor said in surprise. "The camera showed Ziro's face, and the 24-year-old young man in his prime shed tears. "He could have contributed more to the team. He feels very sorry, and I believe his head coach Wei Le feels the same." "
The camera was focused on Wei Le's anxious face. The Oriental man's face, which was always confident and calm, also showed undisguised disappointment and anxiety. Yes, he was anxious. On the one hand, he was anxious that it would be more difficult for the team to win the game, and on the other hand, he was worried about Ziro's injury.
If Ziro was injured for a long time, Wei Le would be in a very difficult situation. Even if Haaland joined the team in the winter window, Wei Le felt that it would be difficult for the 16-year-old to gain a foothold in the Championship.
After all, he was only 16 years old and his body was still developing. Although Haaland was described as a strong warrior in the photos and text descriptions, Wei Le still felt that he needed to develop slowly, and being thrown directly into the "meat grinder" of the Championship might not be a good choice.
Back to the game, Ziro's continuous substitutions had consumed Wei Le's two substitutions. There are only two substitutions, so Wei Le needs to be very careful about the last substitution.
Edwards ran onto the field, but fortunately he did not report any discomfort.
The referee waited until the Wolves were ready before blowing the whistle again. The ball started from the goal kick, and Jakupovic drove the ball directly into the Wolves penalty area, and the Hull City players had no intention of rushing forward to grab it.
This was actually returning the ball, and this action also attracted applause from the audience and Wei Le. This kind of behavior of respecting sportsmanship should be encouraged.
The Wolves also slowed down for half a minute before launching an attack again in response.
In any case, it will be difficult for the Wolves to gain anything next.
But after Edwards came on the field, he certainly did not play the fulcrum role of Ziro. Despite his body The body is not at a disadvantage, but it is not an advantage either. It can only be said that it can ensure that it can escape from the crowd.
And what Hull City is best at this season is actually shrinking its defense.
The game passed by minute by minute, and long shots became the main means for Wolves to score, but the effect was indeed not very good.
Wei Le was still standing in his command area, but his face was not as good as at the beginning.
When Rodri's frustrated long shot finally flew into the stands, the clock just skipped eighty minutes, and there were only ten minutes left before the end of the regular time of the game.
The fourth official raised the card, and Hull City completed two substitutions, both of which were positional substitutions. The 30-year-old full-back El Muhammadi walked off the field panting, and the Norwegian full-back Henriksen ran onto the field.
And the left Full-back Robertson was also substituted off the field, and a young player named Tymon came on the field, who is now only 18 years old.
The main reason is that Hull City is also in a personnel crisis. The full-back Odubajo, who could have played as a starter, is still lying in the ward. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the 18-year-old to play at such an important moment.
The young man looked very excited and energetic, but people could also see that his hands were shaking slightly.
And Mike Phelan's use of two substitutions seemed to be a signal that Hull City finally stopped shrinking in the backcourt defense.
At least not so shrinking. Hull City players began to press out to attack, but after 80 minutes of fierce fighting, even if they replaced energetic players, it would be difficult to play any exciting offensive when their overall physical fitness was at the bottom.
And the efforts of physical coach Sergio Perez worked at this moment.
"How can they run so fast?" Mike Phelan frowned and asked his assistant.
Anthony Pinnock was also somewhat puzzled. He glanced at his watch. If it weren't for the time on his watch that confirmed that the game had indeed lasted for 80 minutes, he would have suspected that the clock on the scoreboard was broken.
ButIt was indeed 80 minutes, and the Wolves were still running with all their might.
This was the effect of Sergio Perez and his advanced team. All the accumulation and efforts that began before the season had paid off. Sergio Perez successfully completed the requirement given to him by Wei Le, which was to allow all players to fight in overtime after fighting for 90 minutes.
Sergio Perez used all his life's learning on the physical training of the Wolves.
He introduced a series of advanced training facilities and training methods. He brought the most advanced technology in Europe, which was equivalent to the world. And Wei Le finally confirmed that he was right.
In the last ten minutes, Wei Le replaced Kenny McDonald, who had performed mediocrely throughout the game and was already exhausted, with Jack Pierce, and used up his last substitution quota.
Now, it depends on the performance of the players!
The tide-like offensive surged towards the goals of both sides, and the Wolves' offensive was relatively more fierce. But both sides seemed a little impatient, Wolves kept passing the ball, and Hull City kept passing the ball long. The football flew in the air, and the game was not going well.
More haste, less speed, Wei Le sighed. He turned to look at the fourth official, who was adjusting the electronic card in his hand. Because Ziro spent some time on the field for treatment, the injury time was as long as five minutes.
Wei Le seemed to have no way to turn the situation on the field in a short period of time. Whenever the team encountered adversity and there was not much time available, he felt extremely powerless.
In the final analysis, he was just a spectator who could make substitutions.
Three long whistles, the game ended. To be precise, the regular time of the game ended.
The score of 1-1 remained until the end of the game. If it was the FA Cup, then according to the rules, it would be replayed on another day. But this is the League Cup, which means that every game is a single-elimination game.
After a short break, Wolves and Hull City will decide the winner in extra time. If the tie lasts another thirty minutes, there will be a penalty shootout as the final judge.
