Chapter 22
At the 82nd minute of the game, the physical strength of the players on both sides began to decline.
The most uncomfortable one was the Twente player who was marking Xiaomi. Xiaomi's erratic movement consumed a lot of his physical strength. He failed to keep up several times and almost caused a disaster.
Robinson panted and shouted to his teammates
""Hold on, at the last moment, don't give them the chance to get close to the goal!"
The teammates were also very tired. They knew that they could not relax at this moment and had to hold on.
Xiaomi had long been aware of the state of his teammates. He was still in plenty of physical strength, and he had to find a way to reduce the pressure on the defense.
He signaled Keppel and Eric to withdraw to the midfield, and he himself stayed in the front court, running continuously to interfere with the opponent's passes.
Due to Xiaomi's interference, Twente's dribbling difficulty increased, and he could only pass the ball back or directly pass it to the front court.
Due to the decline in physical fitness, the accuracy of long passes was greatly reduced.
Even if the pass was good, the teammates' physical fitness declined, and they could not get the ball in the first time.
Twente was a little passive for a while and could not launch a formed attack.
The two sides began to fight in the midfield, and the field was full of players. The team was in a state of anxiety.
In the 88th minute, the Twente player passed the ball back to his teammate at the front of the penalty area.
Xiaomi suddenly appeared on the passing line and stretched his legs to intercept the ball.
After the steal, he quickly adjusted, pushed forward, and went directly to the penalty area.
Seeing that Xiaomi successfully intercepted the ball, Eric and Keppel immediately became alert and quickly moved forward from both sides to support.
The Twente defenders panicked and immediately rushed out two people to block and intercept.
Xiaomi dribbled the ball along the right side of the penalty area and saw the opponent coming forward to block.
Xiaomi took advantage of the change in rhythm, pulled the ball through the crotch and decisively passed the first defensive player who came forward to block.
The assisting player immediately stepped forward and directly blocked with his body.
Xiaomi was not afraid at all, he buckled the ball with his right foot, and his shoulder and The opponents collided with each other.
The opponent was very strong and knocked Xiaomi off balance. The opponent was also unstable and subconsciously reached out to pull Xiaomi.
Xiaomi fell to the left and used his left hand to support the ground to avoid the opponent's pull.
Then he stepped forward with his right foot to protect the football, then pulled up his center of gravity and staggered to his feet.
After controlling the ball under his feet, he realized that the pursuers behind him were approaching, and there were players in front of him who came up to intercept.
He pushed the ball directly to Eric who was inserted on the wing, and cut into the penalty area himself.
After the opponent saw the ball transfer, he ran directly to Eric.
Eric did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the ball and the football flew to the penalty spot.
Xiaomi and Twente's goalkeeper rushed up at the same time.
Xiaomi jumped up in advance and headed for the goal.
The football hit the ball directly The ball bounced into the goal from the left side of the door.
The Twente goalkeeper jumped just a little bit slower and didn't touch the ball.
He didn't touch the ball, but he wasn't ready to let the oriental kid go.
Thinking of the scolding from the head coach during the halftime break.
The opponent scored two more goals in the second half, he got really angry.
Although he tried to retract his arm, his elbow was raised and hit Xiaomi's head directly.
Xiaomi was falling, and his body was somewhat relaxed, but suddenly he felt a sense of crisis. He subconsciously tilted his head and felt a pain in his neck. His eyes went black in an instant, and he fell heavily to the ground.
The referee, who had just blew the whistle to confirm the goal, saw someone fall to the ground out of the corner of his eye. He didn't care, and just as he was about to go over to take a look, he heard the ADO coach and players shouting
"Save people, save people quickly!"
"foul!"
"Flagrant Foul!"
"This is murder!"
The referee was a little confused. Seeing the team doctor rushing up to the sidelines, he gestured to allow them to go on the field, and he also ran up quickly to understand the situation. The
Twente goalkeeper spread his hands and kept explaining.
"When I touched my arm, I didn't notice"
"I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to hurt him!"
Keppel, who was closest to the goal, was very excited. He pointed at the other party and yelled
"You are murdering, you are committing a malicious foul!"
Other teammates of ADO also rushed up. Although they did not see it clearly, it was a fact that Xiaomi was injured.
At this time, the opponent must be punished.
In this kind of game, there is no replay at all.
Only the team will record the video on the spot as data for video analysis.
The referee finally showed the Twente goalkeeper a yellow card and warned him.
"Watch your actions. If there is evidence that you did it on purpose, your license will be revoked."
The ADO players were obviously not satisfied with the decision. It was stupid to argue with the referee at this time.
They were not like professional players who dared to fight directly on the court.
They were very worried about Xiaomi's condition. After seeing the team doctor carrying Xiaomi off the court, they could only retreat to the backcourt and complete the rest of the game.
Twente's head coach held his forehead with one hand on the sidelines. I don't know if he was upset because of losing the game or because of the goalkeeper's stupid behavior. Marvin and Jason were anxious and worried. In a relegation match, they lost two forwards.
Bonn's condition was okay. He was just strained and would be fine after two weeks of rest.
But they clearly saw that the opponent directly hit Xiaomi's neck.
The opponent's goalkeeper was 191 cm tall and weighed no less than 80 kg. This time, Xiaomi lost consciousness.
The team doctor actually called for a stretcher to go on the court. Obviously, he could not continue the next game.
If it weren't for Xiaomi's outstanding performance in the second half, they would have had an unknown difficulty in playing.
A rising star who had just shown his potential was seriously injured by the opponent. They must appeal to the Football Association.
Xiaomi had fainted at this time and he knew nothing.
After the team doctor came forward to check, he directly took out a neck brace to fix Xiaomi's head to prevent secondary injury.
A stretcher came on and carried Xiaomi off the field.
Hicks was ordered to the field by Marvin.
As a defender, he only had one task, to strengthen the defense.
The blond man in the plaid shirt had stood up a long time ago. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision just now.
He had just discovered a rising star, but it ended up being ruined in such a low-level league.
It is worthy of being a country that can produce three-stick kings. No matter what level of the game, it is so rude.
He couldn't sit still anymore. He had to do something.
The man took out his phone, found a number and dialed it.
"Paul, I'm Sven Mislintat!"
"Hello, Sven! What made you want to call me?"
"I need the information of your U16 boy from the East"
"Oh? Are you interested in him?"
"What? Are you afraid that I will poach your girls?"
"Of course not. Give me your email address and I'll ask my secretary to send you the information."
"Okay, but let me be frank. If his injury is serious this time, I will stop paying attention to him."
"What? Another one injured?"
"Yes, you should know the result soon."
"Well, I need to understand the situation now, so I won't talk to you any more. You are welcome to visit the base anytime, I will buy you coffee!"
"Okay, bye!"
