Chapter 268: Impressed with Real Madrid

Eric Abidal was also a blessing in disguise in a sense when he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his liver.

On the fourth day after Abidal was admitted to the hospital for treatment, when Barcelona went to play the 28th round of La Liga away from home, the time for his operation was also determined, and it would be six days later, that is, March 18. This operation will remove as much of the tumor as possible to buy time for the patient to wait for a liver transplant.

Because it is a malignant tumor and the cancer cells have spread, liver transplantation is the only way to truly cure it, and other methods can only temporarily suppress it. As for how much waiting time can be left for transplantation, it will depend on the results of the surgery on the 18th.

At the Pizjuan Stadium, Barcelona drew with their strong rival Sevilla 1:1. In the 30th minute of the first half, Zhuo Yang made up for Alves' missed shot. In the first 5 minutes of the second half, Jesus Navas took advantage of Valdez's attack error and headed into the empty goal to equalize the score. It was Navas who had a palm print embossed on his face by Hamsik that year, and he still doesn’t know who did it.

Messi's luck in this game was extremely bad. Two goals were disallowed and he also hit the goalpost twice. The direct free kick was flawless, but the short-sighted Busquets pushed Alexis while fighting for position in the penalty area, allowing the referee Perez Lasa to find an excuse to call the penalty invalid. After the game, even Alexis expressed that he was surprised by this penalty. He thought that it was a very common action on the football field.

In the second half, Boss Mei managed to score with a header, but Xiaobai handballed the ball before passing the ball.

Because in the same round that ended yesterday, Real Madrid defeated Helgus 2:0 at home, thus narrowing the gap between them and Barcelona to 5 points. There are still ten rounds of the league, and 5 points is by no means an insurmountable barrier.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are world-famous rivals, but a move made by Real Madrid three days later not only surprised Barcelona, ​​but also made Zhuoyang look at Real Madrid with admiration.

Real Madrid faced Lyon at home in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. In the game, they eliminated Lyon with a total score of 3:0 and 4:1, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in seven seasons. This is not the point. After the game, the Real Madrid and Lyon teams uniformly changed into T-shirts with pre-printed text.

——??NIMO ABIDAL. Come on, Abidal!

The actions of Real Madrid and Lyon were very heart-warming. Although Barcelona was a little confused, they still rushed to express their gratitude to the two clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona are by no means mortal enemies in ordinary football. The two clubs are confronting each other in terms of political leanings, business philosophy, and regional representation. They have been confronting each other for a hundred years. There has never been a hypocritical "cat crying over a mouse" behavior before. It's already moral to take pleasure in someone else's misfortune.

Maybe it’s because of the personal relationship between Florentino and Russell,

Maybe it's because Real Madrid is more international, or maybe it's because of the joy of finally breaking through the shackles of the 'Sixteenth Champions League'. Real Madrid deserves praise for taking such unprecedented measures this time.

Zhuoyang couldn't help but secretly admire the big heart of Real Madrid, because he was in Barcelona and knew best how bad the two families were. Especially in recent seasons, especially this season, Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barcelona in all aspects, and it can be frustrating to death. Even if it is hypocrisy, even if it is for the sake of political correctness, being able to choose to show a high profile when you are so frustrated is definitely a reflection of the pattern.

Anyway, in Zhuo Yang's view, if it were Real Maras Diarra who got liver cancer, Barcelona would definitely not have such leisurely leisure.

Real Madrid's move caused a chain reaction in the football world. Many clubs followed Real Madrid's example and sent condolences and blessings to Abidal. It became a hot event in international football. The French defender has never been as well-known as he is now. The last time He became famous because he stopped training at the World Cup.

The top management of Barcelona Club are all smart people. Wouldn't it be in vain if they don't take advantage of this wave of public opinion to raise their own moral standards? On March 17, the day before Abidal's surgery, Barcelona's first vice president publicly announced on behalf of the club that Barcelona would renew Abidal's contract as soon as possible.

Originally, Barcelona was negotiating with Abidal's agent while carefully evaluating the necessity of renewing his contract. They were also privately looking for new additions to the back line. The senior management initially preferred not to renew the contract for the time being. If there is a suitable one in the summer, With reinforcements, Abidal will be sold. After all, he is 32 years old and his salary is not low.

But after this incident happened, it added a weight called "building an image" to the hesitant Barcelona senior management. Of course, from another perspective, it is not impossible to call it moral kidnapping. If they refuse to renew Abidal's contract, Barcelona will be inundated with saliva from all over the world. A label with a cold nature will be difficult to clean up in the future, but if it is decisive and clear that the contract will be renewed, it will immediately become a humane and loving warmth. Barcelona.

So, it's a blessing and a curse, both for FC Barcelona and Abidal.

Before announcing it to the public, the club would of course notify Abidal himself of the good news. Feeling the love and warmth, Abidal made a special trip to Gamber Sports City in the afternoon to visit his teammates who were training despite having surgery early tomorrow morning. .

Abidal not only joked and asked Guardiola to put him in the squad for the game the day after tomorrow, but also vowed: I have a feeling that we will easily win Getafe, and Zhuo Yang will score two.

Zhuoyang has been surrounded by his buddies in Barcelona these past two days, asking him to see if he has any illness. It seems that he was reincarnated by a CT machine. He explained over and over again, earnestly asked them to go to the hospital for physical examinations frequently, and urged them to believe in science instead of metaphysics, but these were just to deliberately cause trouble for him. Zhuoyang became anxious and shouted: Let me see, right? Look who doesn’t lift! This group of talents dispersed in a hurry.

At noon the next day, news came from the hospital that Abidal's operation was a complete success.

It is indeed a malignant tumor, and there is nothing to be thankful for. The doctor said that Abidal can be discharged from the hospital in ten days, and that his recovery will not affect his continued playing football. After that, he only needs to take medication continuously, which can buy him at least two years of waiting time for a liver transplant.

Zhuo Yang felt that what happened in the past few days was really magical. His mouth opened up inexplicably. Abidal should be lucky if he survived the catastrophe. He and he turned enemies into friends in a confused way. In short, Abidal is an amazing person.

But in the 29th round of La Liga at home against Getafe, Abidal was not amazing. Barcelona's 2:1 victory over their opponents was not easy, and Zhuoyang did not score two as he predicted. The goals of Alves and Bojan brought the team victory.

Because of thigh pain, Zhuo Yang was replaced by Bo Yang during the halftime break. It was diagnosed that he had a muscle strain and needed to rest for ten days to two weeks. As a result, Zhuoyang will miss the next two international match days, and it is doubtful whether he can even catch up with the Champions League quarter-finals early next month.
