The strongest winger

Chapter 803 Serious Injury
The eruption of boos at the Etihad Stadium because of Aiello playing De Jong through the crotch in the first second stopped abruptly in the next second, so the whistle blown by the referee Willie was particularly harsh.

The fans in the stands saw De Jong's foul very clearly, especially the fans who were close to Chelsea's offensive right. They saw De Jong's right studs were firmly chopped on Aiello's left inner ankle.

Fans who like to watch the top leagues know that defensive midfielders are generally equipped with steel spikes in order to deter offensive players. This flying shovel is directly chopped at the ankle. Thinking about it will make you feel cold all over the body. It is understandable that the voices of the fans in the audience are gone.

At the same time, the narrator in the live studio also lost his voice, as if the scene in front of him was not reality, but...an illusion.

Especially the commentators who support Aiello and Chelsea. They are all gold medal commentators who have watched countless games. They can see through ordinary fouls and malicious fouls on the court at a glance, and De Jong’s fouls can be classified as malicious. They did not stop their feet while shining the studs!

The coaches and players on the coach benches on both sides stopped their movements and stared fixedly at Ai Luo who fell motionless on the grass.

Even the players on both sides of the field froze in place as if their acupuncture points had been tapped, watching straight away.

Two seconds later, Palmer, the Chelsea medical director on the sidelines, reacted quickly. He took the first-aid kit beside him and yelled at the medical staff who were still in a daze: "What are you waiting for? Come on with me!!!"

"Oh."

The medical staff followed Palmer and rushed up like a hot wheel.

It wasn't until this moment that Modric, who was about to respond, realized that he ran two steps forward quickly, squatted down and looked at Ai Luo, who was lying sideways on the grass in the shape of a shrimp. He covered his left ankle with his hands, his facial features were almost twisted together, and his expression looked very painful.

"Please give way!" Palmer said something to Modric and quickly lay down on the turf and asked Ai Luo: "Ai, where does it hurt?"

But Ai Luo didn't reply, just gritted his teeth, and seemed to have difficulty breathing.

Palmer hurriedly made a substitution gesture to Mourinho on the sidelines, and then took out a simple oxygen mask from the first aid kit and put it directly on Aiello's mouth.

The on-site director pushed the camera to Ai Luo's face, and the commentator Zhan Jun suddenly realized something, and exclaimed suddenly: "Oh my God, Chelsea's team doctor put an oxygen mask on Ai Luo. How serious is Manchester City player De Jong's foul this time?"

Andy Gray was equally surprised: "Oh-My-Gad!!"

Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker's first reaction was to spit out an English national curse: "De Jong, a bitch!!! Shit!!!"

※※※

The quiet scene became noisy again with the arrival of the Chelsea team doctor, and the unknown Manchester City fans continued to boo harshly. They didn't think that De Jong had done anything wrong, and the defensive players should be more aggressive towards the offensive players, otherwise how would they deal with the next game?

So they think that this is Ai Luo's way to win the sympathy of the referee, and the ultimate goal is to let the referee draw cards for De Jong.

But... when the Manchester City fans in the stands saw that Ai Luo's oxygen mask was on, they remembered the footage they had seen with their own eyes...

Players from both sides instinctively approached Aiello, but they were immediately driven away by Chelsea's medical staff.

De Jong slapped his ass like a normal person and walked behind his teammates. He knew how fierce he was for the foul action just now. If the referee saw it clearly, it would definitely be a red card. If he didn't do it, he would add a suspension. It is the wisest choice to leave the scene of the incident as soon as possible. After the kick-off is resumed, the referee will naturally forget everything he did just now...

His idea is good, but in fact it is very difficult to implement.

Ballack, who came from the backcourt to the frontcourt, saw Ai Luo's painful expression, and immediately looked for the perpetrator De Jong. As a result, he just saw De Jong going to the backcourt of his own side. He left a sentence of "bastard" and rushed over. Before everyone could react, he kicked De Jong's back, and then kicked De Jong's left rib lying on the grass.

Just as he was about to make up another kick, he was pushed out by Lescott who responded in a timely manner.

The tall Drogba took advantage of the opportunity to stop the angry Ballack, and Modric and Lampard quickly pulled Ballack back.

Although the relationship between Manchester City players off the field is not good, they are quite united on the field. Seeing that De Jong was beaten by Ballack, he stepped forward to find trouble with Ballack. Adebayor, who was very upset after falling behind by two goals at home, bypassed the Chelsea players and ran to Ballack who was hitting someone, wanting to ask for an explanation.

The calmer Chelsea players naturally won't let Ballack suffer, and firmly protect him behind him. The strong Ivanovic and Terry pushed Adebayor away.

The Manchester City players would certainly feel uncomfortable seeing Ivanovic and Terry jointly bullying Adebayor. The two brothers Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure pushed through the crowd to find trouble for Chelsea players.

Seeing that the two sides of the game were about to engage in a live-action fight, the referee Willie blew his whistle and stood between Drogba and Lescott who were about to start a fight.

The emotions of the players on both sides of the game were very emotional. The fast Ashley Cole wanted to trouble De Jong, but he was pushed back by his national team-mate Bridge.

Immediately, players from both sides on the court gathered together, and it seemed that further conflicts might break out at any time.

The first and second officials on the sidelines reacted very quickly and assisted the referee Willie to push away the emotional pairs of players.

At this time, the stretcher had already entered the stage, and the live director switched the camera to Ai Luo again.

Although Ai Luo no longer needs oxygen to assist breathing, his handsome face can be clearly distorted together, and anyone with a little sense knows that he is enduring great pain.

"It's... not anymore, I... I'm going to say more, it looks... Ai was seriously injured. Just now, he still needs oxygen to assist breathing. Now that he is on a stretcher, I want to know if he is alright. I probably won't... know until the hospital makes a detailed... examination." Clive Walker's staccato voice was transmitted to the homes of thousands of Chelsea fans along with the signal.

All the Chinese fans thousands of miles away stared at the screen and were stunned until Zhan Jun's voice came: "From the way the team doctor handled it, Ai Luo's injury will be very serious. Until now, his facial expression is still very painful. I don't know if it will affect the World Cup held in South Africa in June next year..."

The conflict between the players on both sides lasted until Ai Luo was sent to the ambulance and then calmed down under the intervention of several referees. Then it was naturally time to settle accounts after the fall.

The offender De Jong did not escape, Willy was the first to show him a red card, followed by Ballack who hit someone.

But Ballack had already been mentally prepared. When he saw the referee give De Jong a red card, he expected the final result, but he did not regret it. Before the summer of 2006, he had been carrying the name of Wannian's second child. Until he joined Valencia for free, Ai Luo led the team all the way and won the Champions League.

Before the closing of the transfer window in the summer of 2007, he chose to join Chelsea in the footsteps of Aiello, and he did not disappoint him, and continued to make big scenes together, the first team with seven championships, the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring...

Thinking of this, he turned around and yelled loudly at De Jong, who was also walking towards the sidelines: "You are the son of a bitch! Garbage, trash! The scum on the football field!!!"

Before De Jong could react, the Manchester City fans near the main stand couldn't stand it any longer. They threw water bottles and hard objects at Ballack one after another. Fortunately, the on-site staff responded quickly and pulled the canopy out of the retracted state and pushed Ballack inside.

Many players involved in the conflict on the court also received a lot of yellow cards, and only a few players who were relatively calm were exempted from receiving cards.

It is worth mentioning that Lescott, who had previously carried a yellow card, was sent off after two yellow cards turned into one red, which means that Manchester City played 9-10 at home.
The head coaches of both sides were also sent off because of the tear-force fight on the sidelines.

In the words of the neutral commentator: "A war caused by De Jong."

※※※

In the end, Chelsea beat Manchester City 4:1 in the away game, but everyone's attention is no longer here, they just want to know the specific injury of Ai Luo.

In the slow-motion playback at that time, many people gasped. Ai Luo's left ankle was obviously deformed during the process of being shoveled by De Jong. It was easy to see that this was not a minor injury.

Mourinho, who participated in the press conference after the game, was very annoyed: "I really don't know what kind of team Manchester City is that can actually introduce such a bad player! I believe every reporter here can see the actions of that rubbish player. He is trying to kill!!"

The next day, the mainstream European media reported almost all the news about Aiello's shovel injury by De Jong.

At the same time, the FA held a press conference as soon as possible, announcing that it would conduct research on De Jong's foul, and the specific suspension will be announced in the next few days.

And FIFA is also concerned about this, because the previous FIFA president Blatter publicly stated that he would protect technical players like Aiello and Messi, otherwise it would be a loss to the world football.

That afternoon, Ai Luo's injury report came out.

"According to Professor George, a sports injury doctor at the Manchester Royal Hospital, Ai's injury is very serious. The left tibia is split about 1 cm, the knee ligament of the left foot is partially torn, and the anterior tibiofibular ligament is torn. The conservative recovery period after the operation is about eight months, which means that he will definitely miss all the remaining games of the season and the World Cup in South Africa this summer..."
