Fox in the Penalty Area

18th

"Lo!!"

There was a burst of cheers in the red-domed stadium, followed by another sigh.

Just now Luo Kai got a chance at the back point, but his shot was saved by Catalan United goalkeeper Toney Schulman.

After a brief sigh, the fans applauded again in the stands.

This applause is not only given to Luo Kai who shot, but also to all Tramed players.

Although Catalonia equalized the score in the 35th minute of the first half, Tramed did not give up.

Indeed, just like head coach Kevin Lock asked, they showed fighting spirit in the game.

Although there has been no goal scored so far, it is difficult for Catalonia to score goals.

The score is still 1:1 so far.

The second half has just begun and Tramed still has time.

"Although he didn't score a goal, Roquet's shot was very decisive! Even at a small angle, he still hit the goal frame, forcing Schulman to make a save... and won the victory for Tramed. A corner kick! Compared with the first round, Luo Kai was in good condition and performed very actively in this game, which is a good thing!"

He Feng was also praising Luo Kai.

Although the result of the first round was a blow to all Chinese fans who were looking forward to the "Chinese Derby" in the Champions League final, He Feng still hoped that at least one Chinese player could reach the Champions League final.

In this way, for the first time in the history of the Champions League finals, Chinese players have been represented in the finals for two consecutive seasons.

This is a not-so-remarkable record and has no practical significance. But in He Feng's view, this incident is a great positive stimulus to Chinese football and can encourage more people in the country to get involved in the sport of football.

Football has been wasted in China for decades and has lost its aura as the "world's number one sport". Now that Chinese football is starting again, it needs role models more than ever before. High-quality role models can give a huge impetus to Chinese football, which is restarting, allowing them to be more relaxed in the initial stage and go further.

No matter who it is, Hu Lai or Luo Kai, as long as they can reach the Champions League final.

Because He Feng narrates Hu Lai's games more often, He Feng is considered by many to be a fan of Hu Lai.

But in fact, he is not a fan of anyone, he is just a fan of Chinese football.

All Chinese players are the targets of his support.

After the semi-finals were played against each other, many people cheered that there might be a "Chinese Derby" in the Champions League final.

Now he hopes that the Madrid Pirates and Tramed were together, so that at least one Chinese player can be guaranteed to appear in the Champions League final...

It's a pity that there is no "if" in reality.

He can only hope that Sarria's 2:2 away draw with Catalonia last weekend can bring some inspiration and courage to Tramed, allowing them to make a comeback at home.

※※※

Although he did not score a goal or assist, Luo Kai felt that he was in good condition today. He even had a very strong intuition and was confident that he could help the team make a comeback against the wind and complete the miracle of the red-top stadium.

I don't know whether it was Hu Lai's two goals that stimulated him, or Huan Ge's performance that inspired him.

In short, he felt in good condition from the first time he touched the ball on the court today.

And the goal Tramed scored also proved this.

So even though Catalan United midfielder Van der Stern was following him, he still raised his hand decisively to ask for the ball.

Based on Luo Kai's performance, when he asked for the ball, his teammates really passed it to him. Now he no longer has any trust issues within the Tramed team.

After receiving the ball, Luo Kai used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football forward, relying on his speed to get rid of Vander Stern who was following him!

Vanderstern reached out and tried to pull to interfere with Luo Kai's speed, but failed!

"Luo Kai! Beautiful! He is very confident now!"

After playing football, Luo Kai faced another Catalan player who came up to defend him, left back Francisco Calderon, and the opponent chased him diagonally.

Luo Kai still didn't stop and moved the football forward again!

He forced the thirty-four-year-old Calderon to start a race with him.

When Luo Kai caught up with the football again, Calderon was already half a body behind. In order to prevent Luo Kai from taking the football away from him, Calderon planned to shovel it directly!

He kicked out and tackled the football!

But just as he shoveled it out, Luo Kai had already taken the football away.

So Calderon shoveled out but did not touch the ball. Instead, he pinched Luo Kai's supporting foot...

The football rolled straight off the sideline, and Luo Kai himself fell to the ground.

He hugged his left ankle.

※※※

Tramed head coach Kevin Locke, who was on the sidelines, saw Luo Kai fall to the ground and rushed out, waving his arms and shouting loudly, complaining to the referee that Calderon was committing a foul.

When he turned around, he found that Luo Kai, who had fallen to the ground, did not get up immediately, but was lying on his side holding his ankles... He was stunned.

"Eh? This ball... isn't it? Luo Kai is injured?" He Feng's tone also contained hesitation and panic.

When commentating on the game between Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan last weekend, he was actually worried about injuries deep down in his heart.

Especially when commentating on the game between Sarria and Catalonia, it was the Barcelona derby.

And the game itself was very intense.

Throughout the game, Saria was shown seven yellow cards, while Catalonia received six yellow cards and one red card.

After Zhang Qinghuan scored, including injury time, the two sides were almost fighting hand-to-hand in the last twenty minutes of the game.

But in such a high-intensity game, Zhang Qinghuan actually finished the game safely.

This relieved He Feng and the majority of Chinese fans.

As a result, I didn’t expect the injury to come so suddenly...

Luo Kai didn't get up immediately after being tackled by Calderon during the game!

The TV broadcast quickly showed a close-up shot of Calderon's foul on Luo Kai.

From the replay, you can clearly see that when Luo Kai's supporting foot tried to pull away, it was caught by Calderon's legs.

Then under the combined action of momentum and inertia, Luo Kai's left ankle was obviously bent...

"hiss--"

He Feng couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this scene, and then he accused excitedly:

"This is an obvious foul! Calderon was just trying to hurt people!"

Regardless of whether Calderon really thinks so, He Feng just takes it as such!

The referee's whistle and the harsh boos from the red-top stadium sounded at the same time.

Calderon sat on the ground and kept making gestures to indicate that he was going for the ball, not the person.

Tramed captain Connor Kirk rushed straight to Calderon, who had committed the foul, and leaned over to tackle him.

His appearance also stimulated the Catalan United players. Van der Stenrique went up to protect his teammates.

Players from both sides huddled together.

At this time, Luo Kai was still lying on the ground and didn't get up.

After Ricardo Barria rushed over, he leaned over and asked Luo Kai: "How do you feel, Luo?"

The answer he got was Luo Kai's frowning silence and clenched teeth.

So no need to ask anymore.

Barea patted Luo Kai, stood up and made a gesture to the coaching bench to ask the team doctor to come up.

※※※

When Luo Kai suddenly fell down, he realized that there was something wrong with his ankle, because he had a clear feeling of the sprain, otherwise he wouldn't have covered his ankle immediately after falling to the ground.

But when he gradually recovered from the initial impact, he felt that the condition of his ankle was not as serious as he thought...

The first impact is indeed severe, but not every sprained foot will have serious consequences.

At the very least... Luo Kai felt that he had not immediately lost the feeling of his ankle, which meant that the ligament was not broken.

So with a simple treatment and rest, he should be able to continue playing.

Just when he was about to get up from the ground, the news that Madrid Pirates captain Juan Ramirez was injured suddenly appeared in his mind.

News reports said that Ramirez's initial knee sprain was not very serious, but because the Pirates had used up all the substitutions at the time, Ramirez was unwilling to let his team play at the most critical moment of the game. There was one less person to fight, so he held on to finish the game and made key defenses many times.

This caused his injuries to become more serious.

Some media analysts believe that if Ramirez had asked to be dismissed when he was injured for the first time, he might only need two weeks of rest to return to the game. It won’t be like this at all. I’m not even sure whether I can catch up with the World Cup...

So just when Luo Kai was about to get up and continue fighting, Ramirez's injury was like a bucket of cold water poured down from his head.

He still doesn't know the extent of his ankle injury. He can only confirm that the ligament is not broken, but he doesn't know whether it is torn or other issues...

What if continuing to play makes a non-serious injury become serious?

If you completely lose the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, then... is it worth it?

But in order to be able to participate in the World Cup, he gave up the Champions League, which ended the team's potential comeback... How can he be worthy of his teammates and the coach who trusts him? His teammates are still fighting to get to Munich, so how can he escape?

It is the duty of every Chinese player to play for the country, and participating in the World Cup is also the highest pursuit.

But it is Tramed’s club that pays himself a salary, provides himself with opportunities, and makes himself stronger and better. He should contribute all his efforts to his club and should not hold anything back.

Two voices tortured Luo Kai's soul in his mind. One voice said: "What is there to hesitate about? Isn't it your dream to participate in the World Cup? Four years ago, you were ignorant of being weak, but now you are in Europe. What is the purpose of practicing for four years? Isn’t it just to help the Chinese team achieve good results in the World Cup?!"

Another voice said: "Have you forgotten what BOSS told you? If you want to go to Munich, how can you do it without working hard?! If you end the game now, then you are the culprit for the team being eliminated! Because You became a deserter at the height of the war!"

When Ricardo Barria came up to ask about Luo Kai's injury, he was in the middle of a battle between two voices in his heart and couldn't extricate himself. He was so confused that he naturally couldn't respond to the Portuguese because he didn't know whether he should say "nothing" or "something happened"...

Barea seemed to have misunderstood. Seeing Luo Kai's expression of pain, he thought he was seriously injured and quickly called the team doctor.

After Tramed's team doctor ran onto the field, he saw Luo Kai's expression and the position he was covering with his hands. He ignored the examination and turned to the sidelines to signal for a stretcher to be brought up.

"Luo Kai, please don't have any big problems... I hope it's nothing serious..."

He Feng kept repeating this sentence, just like an old monk chanting sutras.

When he saw the gesture of Team Doctor Tramed, he interrupted the "chanting" with an exclamation:

"stretcher?!"

He felt something was wrong.
