he straightened his legs and was ready to meet the football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the protection of the shin guards, Lu Yang’s shin wasn’t injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain was still the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a heavy shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And proper rolling, truth be told, can genuinely alleviate some pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is similar to Pavovsky’s curling up, and those skeptical can try it, but choose an isolated area to avoid alarming concerned bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee stopped the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Lu Yang nor Pavovsky are players who would casually lie on the green field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Lu Yang, known globally for his toughness, besides Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Sofia expressed helplessness;
