PS: Dear readers, please donate, collect, and recommend.

PS: The group numbers of this group are five, four, eight, three, five, six, eight, five, five, come to the group to talk about the mountains and football.

Kevin Phillips got the ball and went to the penalty area after successfully countering offside, facing goalkeeper Sorensen.Kevin Phillips easily pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal.Just as Kevin Phillips wanted to celebrate, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right foot after being kicked by a spike, and then fell to the ground.This is the left back Samuel who has been following behind Kevin Phillips.It was too late for him to defend when Kevin Phillips shot, but his defensive action did not stop, and Samuel's left foot shoveled heavily to Kevin Phillips' supporting right foot.Sorensen, Kevin Phillips, and Samuel were lying together, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.The Southampton players saw Kevin Phillips on the ground and gathered around.

The commentator of Sky Sports, which was broadcasting the game, also called the foul unsportsmanlike and Samuel should get a red card.

The moment Kevin Phillips scored a goal just now, Chen Zhun couldn't restrain the excitement in his body on the sidelines. He raised his fists high and roared. When he was about to hug Reed, he noticed the calmness of the coach's bench.Chen Zhun turned to the stadium following the coaches' eyes.Goal hero Kevin Phillips did not stand up to celebrate his goal, but fell in pain in Aston Villa's penalty area.Aston Villa's left back Samuel stood up at this time, when he saw the referee walking towards him, his face was full of annoyance and loneliness, slowly waiting for the death sentence.The referee faced Samuel and showed him a red card and sent him off the field.Samuel didn't have any objections, he knew in his heart how serious consequences his dangerous action would have on Kevin Phillips.

Southampton's team doctor also made a preliminary treatment and diagnosis of Kevin Phillips' right foot at this time.What Chen Zhun didn't want to happen happened.The team doctors made a substitution gesture to Chen Zhun on the sidelines, indicating that Kevin Phillips could no longer persist in the game.

Chen Zhun had been watching everything on the field intently. Faced with this sudden blow, Chen Zhun's heart collapsed.For the first time, he experienced first-hand how horrific and unforgiving an injury can be.Chen Zhun had to replace the injured scoring hero Kevin Phillips with Marian Pajas.

When the stadium's medical staff carried Kevin Phillips' stretcher out of Villa Park, all the fans at Villa Park stood up and applauded the football warrior on the pitch.Kevin Phillips on the stretcher gave his thumbs up after hearing the applause.

When Kevin Phillips passed by Chen Zhun, Chen Zhun ran over to visit him and told him that the Southampton club was waiting for him to come back.It is amazing that in history, Kevin Phillips moved to Aston Villa after this season.

After Kevin Phillips' sudden injury during the game, Chen Zhun didn't feel the joy of scoring just now. He kept frowning, thinking about Southampton's stretched striker.There are as many as six strikers in the current Southampton team, but only these two players who are currently on the field can play.The team's top center, James Beatty, was exempt from the game due to injury. According to the feedback from the team doctor, James Beatty's thigh injury will take a week to heal.And today Kevin Phillips was injured accidentally again. He still doesn't know how Kevin Phillips' injury is, so he can only pray in his heart that the injury will be lighter.Chen Zhun looked at the bench, where only Brett Olmerode and Jamie Vardy were forwards.Jamie Vardy is too young to play too early.Moreover, Chen Zhun is not interested in Olmerode, he plans to sell him and Pajas together during the winter transfer period.

Aston Villa coach O'Reilly, who is not far away from the home team's coaching bench, is even more depressed at this time.All the tactical routines he deployed before the game were disrupted by this sudden blow.O'Reilly had to replace young striker Carlton Cole with right back De La Cruz, and then transplanted Delaney, who was originally at right back, to the left.The intention is to defend with all strength, and strive to drag the score of 1 to 0 to the intermission.It is not terrible to fall behind by one goal in the game, as long as the patient offense finally equalizes.But getting a goal scored by Southampton in this self-harming way, coupled with a stupid left-back being sent off, was devastating.The Aston Villa players on the field were also demoralized, but fortunately their Swedish captain Mellberg kept cheering.

As the game continued, Chen Zhun made a downward gesture to the Southampton players on the sidelines, signaling them to stand on defense and continue to look for opportunities to counterattack.Aston Villa's players started to play impatiently because they were behind in the score, and they fouled more and more when defending. The 5-minute game was interrupted several times by the referee Rennie. Aston Villa team Barry and Hendry also received yellow cards for fouls.When attacking, Aston Villa started to play a simple and rough long pass. The midfielder took the ball and began to make a long pass to Vassell in the frontcourt, but Vassell was alone and did not grab the ball a few times. .

In the 35th minute, Svensson took the ball in midfield and made a long pass to find Crouch in front of him.Crouch protects the ball and prepares to turn around and pass it to Olmerode.But was shoveled to the ground by Aston Villa captain Mellberg.Referee Renny gives Mellberg a yellow card and gives Southampton a free kick.The position of the free kick is four or five meters away from the penalty area line on the left side of Aston Villa.This area is exactly within the range of Svensson's direct free kick in Southampton.Anders Svensson's free kick is nothing more than the 2002-meter free kick against Argentina in the final round of the 25 Korea-Japan World Cup group stage.Argentina, England, Sweden, and Nigeria formed the largest group of death at the time.At that time, after the first two rounds of the group stage, England and Sweden ranked the top two with four points, and Argentina ranked third with three points.In the third round of the group stage, Sweden played against Argentina.Sweden will qualify with a draw.In the end, it was Svensson's free kick that drew the powerful Argentina team, and finally beat the England team to get the first place in the group and qualify from the group of death.The mighty Argentina had no choice but to be out.After the game, Batty, the God of War, was unwilling to cry, and the back of "Son of the Wind" Kaniggia reluctantly left, all became Chen Zhun's hazy childhood memories.
