Chapter 251 Wei Xiao Injured
The ball flew very fast. Zhou Dun, who was in front of the point, was about to push the ball out of the baseline, but when he poked his head out, the ball just touched Zhou Dun's scalp and did not change the running route.

Wei Xiao in the middle was shaken by the person in front, and when the ball came over, Wei Xiao didn't dare to touch it for fear of an own goal.

When the ball reached the back point, the speed had already slowed down. Li Qinglong rushed forward recklessly, and at the same time, Chen Fei also followed his opponent closely.But Li Qinglong was still a little faster. He ran to the front and poked his head out for a header.

At the critical moment, Chen Fei raised his legs high and kicked the ball out of the baseline with a gymnastics-like movement.

Just when the ball went out of the bottom line, the referee whistled an indirect free kick in the penalty area because Chen Fei raised his foot too high, which was a dangerous action.

Chen Fei protested, but the referee didn't say anything. Not only that, he also gave Chen Fei a yellow card.

According to the rules, there is nothing wrong with Irmatov's penalty. Although Chen Fei made a clearance, he raised his foot too high, which is a dangerous action. It is reasonable to show a yellow card. The reason why it was an "indirect free kick in the penalty area" instead of a penalty kick was because Chen Fei did not foul the opposing player, but just violated the rule of raising his foot too high.

But the threat of an "indirect free kick" in front of the small penalty area is no less than a penalty kick. In order to defend the ball, all the players of the Chinese team returned to the penalty area. Eight people stood on the goal line, and the other three were ready to block the eye.

The three most eye-catching people are the goalkeeper, Chen Fei, Hao Junmin, and the other tall ones are all standing in front of the goal.

An "indirect free kick" cannot be shot directly. It must be swiped, stepped on, and then shot. Therefore, the short time of less than one second left by the swiped is the opportunity for the Chinese team players to step forward and block the eye.

Most of the South Korean team also entered the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. There were 3 people standing in front of the ball-Sun Xingmin, Gu Zizhe, and Ji Chengyong.

It is estimated that Sun Xingmin made a push, Gu Zizhe stepped on it, and then Ji Chengyong shot vigorously.

Of course, there are other possibilities, but because there are too many people in the penalty area, the more complicated it is, the less likely it is to score.

The referee also came to the penalty area. He reminded the Chinese players not to move ahead of time. According to the rules, Chinese players cannot move before the opponent touches the ball.

The Chinese coaching staff was very nervous about this goal. Stan squatted on the sidelines. He was very afraid that the goal would be scored, because it was about 10 minutes into the second half. If the goal was scored, the next 30 minutes would be very difficult for the Chinese team.

On the coaching staff side of the South Korean team, the substitute players all stood up. They knew that this opportunity was similar to a penalty kick, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The referee blew the whistle to indicate that the South Korean players were ready to play. Sun Xingmin was a little nervous. His dribbling was the most important. If he dribbled the ball well, it would be difficult for Chinese players to block the eye.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Xingmin dialed the ball. At the same time, the three members of the Chinese team went out like wild horses running wild.

Gu Zizhe stepped on the ball, Ki Sung-yong drew in the middle of the ball, and the ball flew towards the goal of the Chinese team like a cannonball.

With a "bang", the ball hit Wei Xiao's face, and Wei Xiao's nose was broken immediately, and blood flowed.

Zhang Xizhe kicked the ball away, and the Chinese players quickly gestured to the bench to signal for the team doctor to come in. Dong Zhou rushed into the field with a medical kit and an assistant and came to Wei Xiao's side.

After only a brief examination, Dong Zhou was sure that the bridge of his nose was broken, and he was about to sign to Stan for a replacement when Wei Xiao grabbed him, "I can't leave."

"I'm a doctor, I don't care about the competition, your condition is no longer possible to compete",
"It's okay, I play in the Premier League. If you encounter this situation in the Premier League, you just need to stuff more cotton in your nose."

Dong Zhou felt unbelievable, "Stop messing around, if the bone is not broken, it may be barely okay, but if the bone is broken, it is impossible to persevere."

Wei Xiao still didn't let go, "Put on the mask for me, then I'll be fine."

It is true that the technology has improved now, and it is possible to continue the game with a broken nose and wear a protective mask, so Dong Zhou is a little hesitant.

"Stan asked you whether to change people or not," Sun Jihai asked Dong Zhou with Stan's words.

"No change", Wei Xiao rushed to say.

Dong Zhou couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked the referee to leave the field for treatment.

After the simple treatment on the sidelines, Wei Xiao stopped bleeding. Dong Zhou felt that Wei Xiao's health is really good, and Wei Xiao's platelets are definitely more than the average person.

The game resumed, and the Chinese team was temporarily short of one player. Stan was anxious, so he ran over to take a look, "How about it, if you can't hold on, just say, this is not the time to be a hero, you should know better than me when you play in the Premier League."

"Put on the mask and try for 10 minutes," Dong Zhou said.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up",
One minute later, Wei Xiao put on his mask and dressed like a steel man. He raised his hand to signal, the referee waved his hand, and Wei Xiao returned to the field. The fans applauded Wei Xiao warmly.

*****
Stan is still worried about Wei Xiao. Stan has worn that thing himself. Although it can protect his nose, it is really uncomfortable. Stan knows that Wei Xiao will definitely become a new attack point for the South Korean team.

"Li Weifeng Warming Up",
The "big head" got the order, and immediately stood up, put on the vest of the substitute player and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

Stan's prediction was not wrong at all. At 15 minutes into the second half, Choi Kang-hee replaced Lee Dong-guk and Park Joo-young, and played two forwards - Chi Dong-won and Lee Dong-guk.

After Wei Xiao put on the mask, because his vision was affected, he would be inaccurate in judging the high-altitude ball. Then the Koreans prescribe the right medicine, and they replaced a powerful center-Li Dongguo, who can just grab the header in the penalty area.

Back then, Fan Zhiyi’s generation of guards suffered a lot from Li Dongguo. The current Chinese defense line is not afraid of players like Li Dongguo. Wei Xiao and Zhou Dun need to have a body and skills, but Wei Xiao was injured.

After Ji Dongwon and Lee Dongguk formed a double striker, the midfielder of the South Korean team deliberately played high and high and passed the ball high into the penalty area.

In Asian football, there are only 3 countries that can play high, Iran, China, and South Korea.Among them, the best player is recognized as South Korea. There have also been good centers in Korean history, such as Lee Dong-guk and Ahn Jung-hwan.

What Wei Xiao is most afraid of now is heading the ball. After all, his nose is injured, people will definitely have a conditioned reflex, but Koreans also know what you are afraid of, so I have to come. For a while, Wei Xiao lost to Li Dongguo every time he competed for overhead shots.

Stan decided not to hesitate anymore, he gestured to Li Weifeng.

"Go up, replace Wei Xiao",
"Coach, you know that Wei Xiao is a hard-working player, and he must be unwilling to replace him now," Li Weifeng said.

"I know, but there is no way, he can't head the ball anymore",
"Coach, Wei Xiao is usually moody and angry, but we live in the same room. I know he cares about this game."

Stan smiled bitterly: "But such a handsome young man, I can't let him become a flat nose."

Li Weifeng also laughed, "The nose can be connected, but if he is replaced now, he will regret it for a long time."

Stan nodded.

"Replace "Xiaohao", put Wei Xiao in the position of the midfielder, let me play the central defender",
"That's a good idea," thought Stan.

"Put on the shin pads, put on the tape, and you'll be on the next dead ball",
Li Weifeng nodded.

*****
At 20 minutes into the second half, the Chinese team made a substitution. Li Weifeng stepped on, Hao Junmin stepped off, and the big head gestured to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao understood, and the two exchanged positions.

Li Weifeng, Li Dongguo, old rivals!

The two have been fighting against each other almost since the National Olympics, and now they are at the end of their careers, and they are competing on the same field again.

The South Korean team organized an attack in the midfield. Although the Chinese team had a substitution, but without the order of the head coach, the players on the field still maintained the tactic of holding high and playing high.

South Korean midfielder Ji Sung-yong lobs the ball into the penalty area. The ball moves like a cut ball in tennis. This kind of pass is high and slow. To put it bluntly, it is for the people in the penalty area to compete for the top.

Li Weifeng relies on Li Dongguo, and Li Dongguo also relies on Li Weifeng. A good center has two basic qualities - "reliable", "top accurate",
"It's been 10 years, this time I'm sure I'll hold you down and push the ball out", Li Weifeng thought to himself.

Facing the falling football, the two took off at the same time. This time Li Weifeng did not suffer a loss, but Li Dongguo did not lose the same. In the end, the two touched the ball at the same time, and the ball bounced twice and flew out of the baseline. When it landed, Li Weifeng felt a little upset, but he still did not hold it down.

Zhou Dun saw all this, he didn't know Li Dongguo, but he felt uncomfortable seeing Li Dongguo "bullying" Wei Xiao just now, and now bullying the big brother in the team.

"Brother Li Weifeng, shall we change the line?"
Li Weifeng looked at Zhou Dun, then turned to look at Li Dongguo, suddenly smiled, "I'll leave it to you in the future."

"What my generation of players failed to do should really be handed over to the post-90s generation," Li Weifeng thought.

Changing positions, the South Korean team deliberately avoided Zhou Dun's side several times before, but Chi Dongyuan's header was not good. Chi Dongyuan is not a traditional "Korean center".

So in the end, the Korean midfielder could only pass the ball to Li Dongguo. Li Dongguo was still the same, leaning first, but this time he leaned on Zhou Dun, and it felt different. There was a lot of pressure behind him, and he felt unreliable.

In Asia, apart from the Iranian defender, there is really no one he can't rely on.

So from the very beginning of the ball, Li Dongguo felt guilty. When the ball fell, Zhou Dun was not polite. He bumped into Li Dongguo while jumping up. Although the collision didn't make Li Dongguo lose his center of gravity, it greatly affected Li Dongguo's jumping.

Zhou Dun pressed Li Dongguo head-high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. When this scene happened, the South Korean team's bench was stunned. Counting from the Olympic team, their Li Dongguo had never been pushed over the head.

When Li Dongguo landed, he looked at Zhou Dun lonely and thought: "My era is really over".
