Chapter 1123 The Captain's Armband Tightened (Second Monthly Pass)
The teammates passed the football to the front. Chen Yingxiong used his chest to stop the ball in the middle circle. As soon as he stopped the football, Pepe bumped into him from behind.

Some Chinese fans nicknamed Pepe "Monk", which shows what his playing style is.

He hit it with all his strength. If it was Alves and his ilk, he would have fallen to the ground covering his face, rolling over in pain.

But on Chen Yingxiong, he just swayed his upper body.

Peipei didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to be knocked away with this collision, his back move is still below.

He grabbed Chen Yingxiong's shoulder with one hand, pulled Chen Yingxiong hard, and at the same time stabbed the football with his foot.

At the same time, when Pepe was entangled with Chen Yingxiong, Vanela also ran up, and the 1.9-meter tall Chen Yingxiong was also attached to Chen Yingxiong, and the two came to double-team.

Under the double-teaming of two people one after the other, Chen Yingxiong achieves the purpose of protecting the football by constantly changing the ball-controlling foot, and at the same time makes reasonable use of his physical advantages.For example, the buttocks squeezed Pepe away, and then blocked Vanela's steal.

Vanera's right foot directly hit Chen Yingxiong's ankle. If it were anyone else, he would have screamed, fell to the ground and rolled over, clutching his ankle.

But Chen Yingxiong remained unmoved and just protected the football.

He was waiting for his teammates to run up to meet him.

After his teammates ran up, he passed the football to them, and then he made an air cut without resistance, and his teammates passed the football again, quickly getting rid of Real Madrid's defense.

But this has to be based on the premise that he can successfully protect the football...

The Real Madrid players were quite polite at first, but later found that they couldn't be polite to the beast Chen Yingxiong.You are polite to him, but he is not polite to you.

In the end, he fouled directly, and Peipei directly hugged Chen Yingxiong by the waist and knocked him to the ground.

Chen Yingxiong fell to the ground again and again. If the fight continued like this, the two sides would soon become angry.

The Liverpool players saw that their teammate Chen Yingxiong was treated so roughly by the opponent, and the referee only gave verbal warnings, and he felt aggrieved.

So they came forward to defend Chen Yingxiong.

Liverpool's actions have also increased...

When the players on both sides move a lot, accidents are prone to happen.

It didn't take long for Gerrard to be injured in a collision. His ankle seemed to be sprained, his expression was painful, and he seemed unable to persist in the game.

Martin O'Neill frowned when he saw this scene off the court.Gerrard is the captain of the team. Before this season, he was quite competitive, and he was not injured as frequently as last season.

But now at the most critical moment, he was injured!
Can Gerrard still keep playing?

Martin O'Neill didn't think about this question at all. He thought about replacing Gerrard no matter what the injury was.He didn't want Gerrard to be reimbursed directly for the season because of this game.

So without waiting for Bruckner to give any advice, he didn't even wait for Bruckner to be allowed to play to check Gerrard's injury, and directly greeted Shaheen who was sitting on the bench.

"It seems that Gerrard can't hold on to the game anymore! Shaheen suddenly ran to the sidelines to warm up..."

Gerrard also saw this scene on the field. He obviously didn't want to be replaced. When Bruckner came up, he expressed his opinion to him.

"I think it's okay. I can still hold on."

The reason why Gerrard is unwilling to be replaced is because he feels that now is the critical time for the team. If he leaves the field at this time, he will not be able to help the team.As the captain, how can he get away when the team needs him most?

"No, you have a big problem." Bruckner still had that undeniable professional tone. "Stephen, your ankle is almost swollen to the size of an egg. If you insist on playing, then you must be prepared to miss all games this season."

Bruckner's words frightened Gerald.

Gerrard is not that kind of passionate young man anymore, so he naturally knows which is more important.

Give up the entire league for a Champions League game?He really can't do it.

But when I thought about the 1:1 tie with Real Madrid in the away game, at this critical moment, I was absent due to injury and could not contribute to the team.He was very dissatisfied.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong came over, and he squatted beside Gerrard: "Don't worry, captain. Isn't it just a Real Madrid? I'll get it for you!"

Gerald was already familiar with Chen Yingxiong's style. Seeing Chen Yingxiong's confident appearance, he finally showed a smile on his face.

He didn't laugh at Chen Yingxiong's outrageous words, he felt relieved—yes, how could I forget him?Liverpool did not have me, and he was there?

I will retire sooner or later, heroes are the future of Liverpool!
He suddenly became very cooperative and nodded to Bruckner: "Okay, I won't insist on staying on the court."

Bruckner looked back at Chen Yingxiong and smiled at him.

Obviously he was grateful to Chen Yingxiong for helping him convince Gerald.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong didn't appreciate it, he rolled his eyes - he wasn't helping the doctor convince Gerald, he was just telling Gerald a fact.

Gerrard stood up with Bruckner's support, and then he took off the captain's armband on his arm and handed it to Chen Yingxiong who was facing him.

"Extend your arm." Seeing that Chen Yingxiong extended his hand, Gerrard shook his head and said.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know, so he brought his right arm closer, and Gerald shook his head again: "The left arm."

Chen Yingxiong turned around, and then Gerrard put the captain's armband on Chen Yingxiong's arm.

After wearing it, he patted the captain's armband on Chen Yingxiong's arm.

"You said it, hero. Take down Real Madrid for me!" After speaking, he squeezed Chen Yingxiong's arm hard.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the field with Bruckner, limping and walking very slowly.He's buying time for his team, and it's not worth wasting time here.

Chen Yingxiong looked at the background where he was walking down with a limp, and suddenly felt that his left arm was tightly bound. He looked down and found that Gerrard had tied the captain's armband to his arm with great force. , as if afraid of being pulled down in a fierce physical confrontation.

He reached out to touch it, which he hadn't worn in a long time.It seems that the last time I played the Temple Cup in China?
※ ※ ※

"Ah, Gerrard gave the hero the captain's armband, it seems that he is about to be substituted..."

After seeing this scene, the commentators were all amazed.

"The hero wears the captain's armband! Although he has worn it before... But in such an important game, it is the first time for him! In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, facing the strong opponents Real Madrid, he Put on the captain's armband and lead the team to struggle as the captain of Liverpool!" The Chinese commentator became emotional after seeing this scene.

"Gerrard's fate, I don't know whether it is good news or bad news for Liverpool..."

The England commentator said with concern.

※ ※ ※

On the sidelines, Liverpool completed the substitution, and Gerrard was replaced by Shaheen.

When the Turkish kid came on, there was a booing from the stands against him.As a player who used to play for Real Madrid, Shaheen never showed his level in Real Madrid, and finally had to switch to Liverpool. Now that he met in a life-and-death battle, Real Madrid fans will definitely regard him as a traitor.

After booing, the Real Madrid fans were still a little relieved.Liverpool's captain is injured, what else can Liverpool do to counterattack?
They feel more and more that their team will win!

Liverpool fans fell silent.

The captain is all off due to injury, what is the probability of winning?
※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill stepped forward to comfort Gerrard who was substituted: "Don't take it to heart, Stephen. I did this for future games. Liverpool's season is not over yet..."

Unexpectedly, Gerrard was not very depressed. He smiled at O'Neill: "I'm not worried at all, boss. Isn't the hero still on the court?"

Both of them turned their eyes to the big man who was adjusting the captain's armband with his head down.

The hope of Real Madrid, not only for the future, but also for this game, is on him...

※ ※ ※

After the game restarted, Real Madrid did not restrain themselves due to the injury of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, and their actions were still very big.Perhaps Gerrard's injury gave them motivation instead-if we get another Liverpool player, such as Chen Yingxiong, wouldn't this game have no suspense?
And the Liverpool players are also full of anger-you have made our captain go down, we have to settle this account with you!

In the next game, the actions of both sides were even greater, and the anger was also greater.

The referee had to play cards frequently, but the anger on both sides had been aroused even more by his indecision before, and now it was not enough to show a few yellow cards...

Since the yellow card can't be suppressed, then the red card can, right?
No. 701 minutes, Suarez shoveled Alonso from behind when he was counter-robbing, and got a yellow card warning from the referee.Suarez, who took the card, did not calm down because of this. He was obviously dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, because before he dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, Alonso shoveled the ball from behind. The referee said nothing!
So after the referee played the card to him, he applauded directly!

How could this obviously provocative and satirical behavior of the referee escape additional punishment?

The referee blew his whistle again and raised a second yellow card at Suarez's back!
"Ah! Suarez applauded the referee after receiving a yellow card... He was really not calm! In this way, Liverpool had to play with ten men after Gerrard went off due to injury Already!"

"Two yellows turned into one red! Suarez got a second yellow card and he was sent off!"

"Suarez was possessed by the devil's soul at this moment! He was sent off, which is tantamount to making Liverpool worse!"

Seeing this, other Liverpool players surrounded them one after another, defending and putting pressure on the referee, hoping that he could withdraw his order.

As the captain, Chen Yingxiong didn't do this. It stands to reason that this is his job-he ran to hug Suarez who was walking straight down without looking back, and said in his ear: "I completely understand your problem." Mood, Louis!"

Suarez was a little surprised.In fact, he didn't look back because he didn't really care about the red card, but a kind of cover-up, to cover up his inner panic and anxiety... In fact, after he applauded, he understood what his action would bring to him .

He even thought of the headline on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, Liverpool lost the Champions League, and he will be the scapegoat!

At this moment, Chen Yingxiong ran over and put his arms around his shoulders.

Then he said in his ear that he fully understood Suarez's mood.

Can this not surprise Suarez?
At this time, it is good that no one scolds me for being hot-headed, but Chen Yingxiong actually came to tell himself that he fully understands his approach!
Chen Yingxiong went on to say: "When dealing with them, violence can sometimes be controlled by violence. Leave the next game to us. Ten people can win against them equally!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed Suarez back hard: "Stop dawdling, get off the field quickly, we don't have much time, Luis!"

Suarez was touched by Chen Yingxiong's understanding just now, but now hearing Chen Yingxiong's words, the atmosphere is gone.He rolled his eyes, then walked quickly off the court.

After Chen Yingxiong sent Suarez away, he turned around and ran back to his teammates who were still besieging the referee, pulling them out of the crowd one by one.

"Okay, okay! Don't stay here to join in the fun! Why should you go!"

"Go, go, why are you talking so much to him? If you kill him, he can't change the result of the penalty..."

Although Chen Yingxiong fished everyone out, Sanchez and Skrtel were given yellow cards by the referee because they spoke too aggressively when besieging the referee.

Chen Yingxiong told his teammates not to take these things to heart, and let's talk about one goal first.

Gerrard was injured and Suarez was sent off. Liverpool played away with ten men, but looking at Chen Yingxiong's expression, he didn't seem to be worried about these.

He raised his arm and stretched out his index finger: "Just one ball, and they can go to hell!"
