There is a belief called football

Chapter 78 Persevere until the last second

Fans have such a situation, that is, when their favorite team is scored, the first reaction is to be stunned and not believe it.

The same is true for Li Qiao at this time, "Who scored the goal"?
But judging from the excited tone of the commentator, Donetsk scored 100%.

Li Qiao felt a pain in his heart, as if he was being grabbed by someone.

"Wait, what did the referee want to do? The referee is taking out a card. It's yellow. Does the referee want to add a yellow card to the Kiev player defending Shevchuk?"

Then came loud boos on the radio.

"No mistake, the referee gave... Shevchuk... a yellow card".

It turned out that when Shevchuk stopped the ball, turned around, and shot, the referee put the whistle in his mouth, but he didn't blow it, because the referee felt that Shevchuk stopped the ball with his arm.

But it's not clear from his perspective, it looks like an arm, and it looks like a shoulder is stopping the ball.

After communicating with the linesman, the referee from Bulgaria finally whistled Shevchuk for handball in the penalty area and showed him a yellow card.

In this way, the entire Donetsk quit, and the home fans booed all over the sky.

"Referee, you'd better go back to Bulgaria overnight, I'm afraid you are not welcome to spend the night in Donetsk."

This is the "way of speaking" of many commentators in Europe, that is, to the point, the meaning is clear, but the words are cryptic.

Especially the words about racial discrimination. For example, the commentator called Li Qiao a "yellow-skinned boy". In fact, they might say Chinaman in private, but they dare not on TV.

Another example is that the commentator called Brahimi a "player with overdeveloped limbs". Of course, they would call black players "niggers" in private.

That's why he just hinted to the referee that you'd better not spend the night in Donetsk, but he didn't say why.

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion playback. It is true that the ball hit Shevchuk's upper arm, but it should have been an unintentional handball. I can only say that the level of referees in this game is too poor. Why is it impossible to find a better referee for such an important game, such as Italian referees, German referees, and a Bulgarian referee."

It is impossible to change the goal being blown, but the commentary is full of enthusiasm, cynicism, and all hints of this and that.

Li Qiao couldn't stand it anymore, "Mr. Team Doctor, can you please switch to Kiev's channel."

The team doctor's expression was awkward, which meant that he had to make do with it. This is not your living room.

Seeing the embarrassing expression of the team doctor, Li Qiao said, "Otherwise I won't go to the hospital."

"Joe, stop making trouble."

"I didn't make trouble," Li Qiao struggled to get ready.

"Okay, I'll try it out."

*****
"Hehe, can you switch to Kiev's channel?"

The driver felt incredible, "Why?"
The team doctor pouted.

The driver looked at Li Qiao and said indifferently, "No change."

Li Qiao had expected the driver's reaction, sat up and said, "If you don't change, then I won't go to the hospital."

The driver sneered and thought: "Whether you like to go or not, I don't believe you can fly into the sky."

But he underestimated Li Qiao, and saw Li Qiao get out of bed, jumping on one foot to open the door.

This time the team doctor and the driver were frightened, this is not life-threatening.

The driver's task was to take Li Qiao to the hospital safely, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.

There are two kinds of people in this world that are the most frightening, "the horizontal and the dumb".

But now Li Qiao was in a daze and stunned, so the driver immediately changed his words, "OK, I'll change, don't move around."

*****
"There is 1 minute left in the game. We all hope that Kiev can hold on. Without China Joe, Dynamo Kiev was really too passive in the last ten minutes. We hope that Joe can be safe."

"Oh, Kiev's commentary makes people feel very cool," Li Qiao thought.

"Dario is going to shoot again. Just now he hit the post. That's where he hit the goal. Prahimi, Prahimi restrained him."

"It's so dangerous, thanks to Kucek, he really flew up just now and pushed Dario's shot out of the baseline."

"But the opponent got a corner kick. We saw that even the goalkeeper Pyatov had already passed halftime. The boys in Kiev persevered, for Kiev, for Joe."

This moment was really tormented and uncomfortable, even Li Qiao with a big heart couldn't bear it.

"Uncle driver, turn off the radio."

The team doctor looked at Li Qiao in surprise, "There are still dozens of seconds, why don't you listen?" The team doctor thought to himself.

I was frightened by Li Qiao just now, but now the driver is responsive to Li Qiao, and immediately turned off the radio, and the ambulance suddenly became very quiet. That may be the quietest tens of seconds Li Qiao has had so far.

"Okay, uncle driver, turn on the radio."

Li Qiao was preparing for the worst, when suddenly a voice came from the radio, "We won, long live Dynamo Kiev".

Li Qiao jumped up and knelt down on one leg. He was so excited, and the team doctor was also very excited, but as the team doctor, he stopped Li Qiao's radical behavior immediately.

After being helped to bed by the team doctor, Li Qiao suddenly thought of something, "Uncle Driver, can you switch to Donetsk's channel?"
"What are you doing?" the driver thought, but he did.

"Well, good night, Donetsk fans, I can only say that the Chinese stole our victory, the Bulgarians stole our victory, God stole our victory, what can we say, the controversial red card, the handball that didn't exist, and the shot hit the post, what can we say"?
Although the commentator kept saying, "What else can we say", but he kept talking non-stop.

Li Qiao felt very refreshed when he heard Donetsk's sour tone.

*****
"The results of the MRI came out, the tibia was fractured," the doctor said.

Hearing the result, Li Qiao panicked, "Can I still play football?"
"If you move around again, I'm afraid you can't",
The doctor said this because when he first entered the hospital, Li Qiao was still dancing and celebrating his victory, so he decided to scare him.

"Oh, then I won't move."

"It's okay, the operation will be fine right away."

"What, surgery"?
The doctor looked at Li Qiao seriously, meaning, "Do I seem to be joking?"
In fact, Li Qiao is quite afraid of surgery, because he has never had a knife before, and he really wants to call his parents.

"Can I call Mom and Dad first?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. I still have two operations ahead, so I can't wait for you."

The team doctor patted Li Qiao on the shoulder, "Joe, for a professional player, such an operation is very small."

"Yes, minimally invasive surgery, it will be over in half an hour." The doctor's words made Li Qiao feel a little relieved.

In the operating room, when the doctor was anesthetizing Li Qiao, Li Qiao suddenly had a sore nose and felt unprecedented loneliness. He missed his parents, Lobarov, Diana, Stan, and his friends in China.

Although Li Qiao worked hard to adapt after coming to Ukraine, he was really homesick at the moment, but before his eyes shed, the anesthesia took effect, and gradually Li Qiao fell asleep.

*****
When Li Qiao opened his eyes again, the first to catch his eyes was Brahimi, then Corbin, followed by Coach Marsh, and beside him were Lobarov and Blokhin.

"Everyone is here," Li Qiao said.

"Hehe, Joe, how are you?" Prahimi said.

"Well, slept and felt good".

"Son, the operation was a success," Lobarov said with a smile.

Only now did Li Qiao see Diana who was hiding far away in the corner of the ward. The real feeling was not the proximity, but the closeness in spirit. Li Qiao looked at Diana with a smile, and Diana also smiled at Li Qiao, and then went out. Maybe there were too many people, but Diana didn’t want to be here.

"Joe, we are champions," Brahimi exclaimed excitedly.

Corbin on the other side held up the trophy for Li Qiao to see.

The silver trophy is very ordinary, but it is engraved with the team emblem of the Ukrainian national team. Li Qiao knows what it means to a Ukrainian like Corbin.

"Good job, you guys," Li Qiao said.

Brahimi took out the medal, "This is yours, I brought it to you".

Li Qiao received the medal, which was heavy and weighty, "This championship is really not easy", Li Qiao thought to himself.

"Prahimi where's your medal"?
"Here," said Brahimi, pulling out his medal from his collar.

"He slept with it last night," Rakitsky said.

"Hehe", everyone laughed.

Prahimi scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, by the way," continued Brahimi, "Look, here's a photo of us after we won."

Li Qiao took the photo, and his heart suddenly surged. In the photo, Prahimi was holding Li Qiao's No. 9 jersey on the podium.

"Thank you, Prahimi," Lee Joo choked up.

"Okay, let's let Joe rest," Lobarov said.

After everyone reluctantly left one after another, Diana came in, "Father, you go out",
"what"?
"You go out, I want to talk to Joe alone."

Lobarov shrugged helplessly, "Okay."

After Lobarov left, Diana came to the bed and helped Li Qiao sit up, and then raised the back of the bed.

Just as Diana was about to speak, Li Qiao hung the medal around her neck, "Without your encouragement, I wouldn't be able to persevere today."

Diana touched the heavy medal, and her eyes were red, "Then I'd rather you win the runner-up than get hurt."

Li Qiao was going to raise his feet and wiggle his toes to comfort Diana, but this time he was really unable to move because of the thick plaster.

"Remember what you said to me when I first came here?"
"what"?
"Ukrainians only respect warriors." After speaking, Li Qiao pointed to his leg covered in plaster.

Diana chuckled and patted Li Qiao's leg lightly.

　Friends, if you have votes, give me a few votes, help me to rush
