Chapter 34: He stood up! Medical miracle!
Bay Stadium, utter silence.
The team doctors of both sides calmly examined Depay and Li Kang's injuries.
Brant rushed from the bench onto the pitch, ignoring the referee's warnings, constantly asking the team doctor.
Son Heung-min stood frozen in place, at a loss.
During this period, the three of them always trained together... even if Li Kang were a dog, they'd still have some feelings.
Van Gaal came to his senses, excitedly saying: "Contact Bayern Munich's Wolfert right away! That guy is a divine doctor! The dragon-descendant kid's career won't be ruined here!"
When he coached Bayern, he had repeatedly praised Wolfert's medical skills in public.
Giggs nodded, took a few steps, then turned back to face the old Van: "Wolfert and Guardiola had a conflict in April; he went to South Africa to participate in a medical aid activity!"
"Oh God, damn Guardiola..."
"On the other side."
"Boss, what do we do! You finally got back to coaching the first team, our core, our Li..."
Dino's voice carried a hint of sobbing,
He is only 24 this year, having graduated from the University of Göttingen's sports department less than a year ago, and only obtained his coaching license two months ago.
A horrific tragedy unfolded before their eyes.
He couldn't accept this reality for a moment.
"Get lost, don't think about results at a time like this; we should be concerned about Li's injury..."
Tuopu Laotou lay on the touchline, his gaze piercing through the crowd, fixedly staring at the fallen Lewokusen number 10!
"Boss! Li is up! He's fine!"
"God bless... let's hurry and complain to the fourth official! Depay's action deserves a red card!"
Dino excitedly pointed at the Lewokusen number 10 on the field.
Tuopu Laotou quickly pulled him toward the fourth official.
Under the gaze of everyone present.
Li Kang stood up.
He stretched his right leg.
All the players on the pitch were stunned.
The medics of Manchester United and Lewokusen were also dumbfounded...
"What's going on?"
"Li Kang is up!"
In Duan Xuan and He Wei's voices, undisguised joy could be heard.
They almost blurted out the four words 'medical miracle'.
Dragon Kingdom livestream.
The barrage went crazy, filling the screen.
-【Holy shit, what is Li Kang's leg made of? Titanium alloy?】
-【Could it be a final burst of vitality...】
-【He... he even tried to take a few steps, and damn, he's completely fine? That Depay guy is still lying on the grass.】
-【Sci-fi movie?】
-【To be honest, I love this kind of tough player—no need to worry about him getting injured!】
The two medics of Lewokusen rigorously checked repeatedly, but found no injury whatsoever to Li Kang's calf.
Only a slight bruise from the impact.
This seemed to defy their understanding.
Depay was placed on a stretcher, his injury not too serious.
The referee showed him a red card.
Before leaving the pitch.
Manchester United's number 7 gestured an apology to Li Kang, explaining that his dangerous move was not intentional.
Although he plays selfishly, has poor sportsmanship, and a hot temper, at least his values are basically sound.
At this moment.
Bay Stadium rang with waves of cheers.
Fans from both sides breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly forgetting the outcome.
The match continued.
Manchester United, playing a man down, completely lost control of the match.
Li Kang seemed as if nothing had just happened.
With calm passing and movement, he organized Lewokusen's attack.
"Looking at the play, Manchester United hardly has any chance left!"
"Lewokusen holds a two-goal away advantage, and now leads by one goal at home!"
"Given this situation, Van Gaal has no choice but to abandon his insistence on attacking football; he signaled from the sideline for the team to fall back, we can't concede any more goals!"
The situation reached a stalemate.
In clashes between the top-five league teams, a red card does not usually cause one side to collapse quickly.
Unless it's a crazy attacking league like the Dutch Eerste Divisie, Icelandic Úrvalsdeild, Ecuadorian Serie A, or UAE Pro League.
Lewokusen frenetically swarmed Manchester United's penalty area.
At this moment.
Fan Jia'er demonstrated his on-field command ability.
He was like a kindergarten teacher.
He constantly shouted at the players to cover and assist defensively.
This is a very ironic reality.
The head coach who loves attacking football the most in the world is surprisingly skilled at commanding zonal defense.
Even though Li Kang had God's perspective.
For a moment, it was also hard to find a breach in Manlian's back line.
He was not in a hurry.
The advantage was in Lewokusen's hands.
The ball was quickly passed at the feet of the players in black jerseys.
Li Kang constantly used passing distribution and teammates' runs to probe Manlian's back line.
Si Molin felt great pressure.
His mind was tense.
He feared that if he relaxed slightly, Lewokusen's Dragon Descendant would catch a gap and find a chance for a lethal pass.
"Lewokusen's attacking play is very smooth."
"Manlian's defense is also very solid, after all Si Molin came up following Feidinande and Weidiqi."
-【Si Molin, hurry up and leave! Don't get buried in Manlian!】
-【I always thought Feidinande and Si Molin had a grudge!】
-【In an attacking state, Manlian's defense is a pile of shit.】
-【In a counter-attacking state, every Manlian player is possessed by Feidinande; in short, Fan Jia'er's tactical system at Manlian is just messing around!】
Match minute 49.
The last moment of injury time in the first half.
Jisilin took away Bu forest's.
Bendeer pulled apart Luohuo.
In God's perspective.
Manlian's back line finally revealed a gap.
Li Kang received Kelamo's pass on the right side of the penalty area.
He made no adjustment.
He pushed hard with the instep!
The ball was like a scalpel.
It rolled quickly along the turf!
It precisely pierced the weakest point of the opponent's defense!
"Beautiful!"
"A highly concealed through ball!"
"Sun Xingmin!"
Sun Xingmin appeared like a ghost on the left side of the small penalty area.
He threw his whole body forward.
He barely touched the ball!
He unleashed a sliding shot!
Deheya reacted quickly.
He lowered his center of gravity and spread his arms!
He blocked all shooting angles!
Thud!
The ball hit his left leg!
It did not bounce out over the baseline!
Instead it struck the post.
It then fell into the net.
2:0!!!
Deheya turned helplessly and kicked the post with one foot.
"Beautiful!"
"The ball went in again!"
"Asia connection! 2:0!!!"
"Li Kang's scalpel-like through pass, Sun Xingmin's sliding shot scores! Lewokusen adds another goal!"
"The suspense over qualifying for the Champions League playoff is getting smaller!"
The referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Sun Xingmin did not celebrate his own goal after scoring.
Instead he excitedly lunged toward Li Kang.
Tuopu Laotou seemed not yet recovered from the tragedy, standing at the sidelines he hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt Li!"
It was useless.
His voice was quickly drowned out by the Lewokusen fans' sky‑covering cheers.
Dino said worriedly, "Boss! I suggest we take Li off the field, just in case his calf has some hidden issue..."
