Soccer Super Marksman

In the locker room, Mourinho emphasized the need to speed up the pace of the game and avoid falling into local hand-to-hand combat with opponents.

It was Cui Zhen's first appearance in the Manchester United jersey, and he walked into the stadium with a full spirit.

"Finally, finally, finally let us see Cui Zhen, a football rookie introduced by Manchester United for 1500 million euros. The champion captain of the World Youth Championship made his debut in England a bit late. He came to the Red Devils in the Premier League full of honor. In the team, but can he adapt to English football? Hehe, let us observe his performance today!"

Cui Zhen stood at the forward position, and his two wings were Michael Carrick and Ibrahimovic.Behind him are Lingard, Pogba and Mkhitaryan.

After Pogba kicked off, he passed the ball to Cui Zhen.

Almost at the same time as the kick-off, Millwall's striker rushed up immediately, and Cui Zhen observed the running positions of his teammates.

He didn't pay attention to the impact of the opponent's forward at all, it was too amateurish!
He is very confident in protecting the ball and turning around on the spot. He thinks that in this way he can pass the opponent's forward who is coming up to press, because the trajectory of the opponent's center of gravity is clear at a glance.

Yep, he did.

When he protects the ball and turns halfway, he knows that he has successfully passed the opponent. As long as he turns around, he can pass the ball forward and pass the opponent just in time.

But as he continued to turn around, Cui Zhen suddenly felt a sense of crisis welling up in his heart.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Millwall striker's foot movement, and the opponent's foot kicked over, not a rush!It's aimed at Cui Zhen's supporting leg!

Cui Zhen didn't expect at all that just after the opening, the opponent directly took foul and killing actions fiercely!
This is simply a crime, and a premeditated crime!
No matter how fast Cui Zhen reacted, at the cost of losing his balance and falling to the ground, he still couldn't escape the opponent's premeditated slashing foul!

He was directly swept to the ground!
boom!
Shocking cheers erupted from the New Neil Stadium!

The Millwall fans applauded and cheered their leading striker Elliott, and the harsh whistle seemed to show off that he had just done something amazing on the pitch!
Cui Zhen, who made his debut in England, fell down on the spot, hugging his left leg with both hands. He didn't stand up again, and he didn't yell loudly, but his whole face was already covered with cold sweat.

His left calf was kicked by the opponent without the protection of the shin guard, and a large red and swollen bump had already swelled up, which was painful to the touch.

"Elliott kicked Cui Zhen at the beginning of the game! Wow! Elliott was obviously fouled, but he got wild cheers from the Millwall fans! Elliott, who plays for the Blue Lions, is a fan The hero in my heart!

Elliott's disarming of Cui Zhen made the fans feel excited, but this still does not change the fact that this is a foul!The referee showed Elliott a yellow card!Hehe, with a nonchalant expression on his face, when he was walking back, he glanced at Cui Zhen who was lying on the court intentionally or unintentionally.

Before the Chinese player got up, Mourinho was already furious on the sidelines!He got into an altercation with the fourth official, blah blah blah.We can understand that Manchester United do not want the 500 million euros he just spent to buy a waste in a hospital bed.

The game was interrupted at the very beginning. Cui Zhen should have experienced the cruel side of English football today. Will he become the second Ibrahimovic?At least Ibrahimovic had to adapt for a long time when he first stepped into the England arena, and then he showed a brave and fearless side in the game, but what about Cui Zhen?We can only wait and see and hope he can continue to play. "

Manchester United's team doctor ran to Cui Zhen's side, knelt down at his feet and gently pushed his hand away to check the kicked part behind his left calf.When he saw the obviously red and swollen bump, the team doctor took out a cold analgesic spray and sprayed it on the wound, and then checked the wound again.

The two team doctors covered their mouths and began to communicate.Cui Zhen's injury is a contusion caused by being kicked by an opponent, not the most serious.However, subcutaneous hemorrhage, redness and swelling have already been caused. Obviously, Cui Zhen can no longer persist in the competition.

When Cui Zhen got up, the team doctor told him the result.

Cui Zhen lowered his head and closed his eyes. After three seconds of silence, he agreed to the team doctor's suggestion.The team doctor gestured towards Mourinho on the sidelines, and then planned to help Cui Zhen off the field, but Cui Zhen gently pushed the team doctor's hand away.

He can't hold on to the game anymore, but it doesn't mean he can't walk alone, he doesn't need others to make him look weak.

Cui Zhen stared straight ahead expressionlessly, and walked slowly towards the sidelines.Even though every step he took, his left calf hurt terribly, but he still walked step by step despite the deafening laughter from the Neal Stadium.

The fans of Millwall seemed to be in a carnival state, ruthlessly mocking and ridiculing the Manchester United rookie with the honor of the World Youth Championship!

As if silently telling Cui Zhen, is the World Youth Championship really great?Even if you are the dragon of China, you have to kneel down when you come to the lion king's territory!

Accompanied by the team doctor, Cui Zhen went straight to the player tunnel, without even looking at his teammates.He knew that as he was injured and retired in the first minute of the game, and it was his first show, many teammates would definitely question him!
Training is training and competition is competition.

How good is it in training?

At the critical moment of the game, you are useless, who can count on you?

Rooney and Ashley Young, who were sitting on the bench, saw Cui Zhen walk into the player tunnel.

Ashley Young said in a low voice: "Is he really unable to persist in the game? It seems that his walking has not been affected much."

Rooney with his arms crossed and his chest said lightly: "Maybe he can persist after treating the wound on the sidelines, but he may be frightened."

Ashley Young said thoughtfully: "In my impression, he didn't have such a posture in the game."

He meant something, of course he heard about Cui Zhen's unremitting struggle in the World Youth Championship.

Rooney shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

At this moment, Mourinho came over and called Rooney to let him warm up.

Obviously Mourinho saw that Millwall was blatantly "criminal" in the scramble. He needs a tough guy on the field to deter his opponents, and even go head-to-head with the opponent!
Rooney felt a little helpless.Those who thought they could take a rest did not expect to play in this League Cup.

Cui Zhen went back to the locker room and took off his sneakers and socks, and the team doctor treated his wound again.

When Cui Zhen heard from the team doctor that it would take 5-7 days for his wound to heal, he sighed helplessly.

The team doctor gave him a series of treatments. He needed to put a sheath on his calf, massage regularly every day and promote blood circulation and disperse blood stasis. He could not apply hot compress or soak in hot water within 24 hours to prevent the wound from dilating blood vessels and exacerbating bleeding.

However, being injured as a professional athlete is different from ordinary people, who can completely rest.Most professional athletes have to train with injuries. Although it is impossible to have the same intensity as the team, at least they need basic training and a small amount of training.

Fortunately, the team doctor said he had this kind of injury.Small amounts of training can help to heal faster.

Cui Zhen, who had treated the wound, returned to the court. He sat on the bench and put on his coat, reading the game with a calm expression.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Millwall 1-0 in the away game.

Mourinho talked about Cui Zhen's injury in an interview after the game: "The injury was not his fault, it was caused by the opponent's brutal foul behavior. I am tired of this kind of topic, but I still have to say it again, the FA There should be more penalties for rough and premeditated fouls, murdering beautiful football.

If English football only knows how to destroy, rather than take the initiative to learn to create, then there is no need to wonder why English football has been criticized as rough by the outside world and has poor results in major competitions.This is the gap between England and the world, and the FA is responsible for this! "

This kind of debate has existed for a long time since Mourinho came to English football. He has been fighting for more protection rights on the field for technically talented players, but it is difficult for him to shake the core value of century-old English football by himself. .

Mourinho found Cui Zhen after the game and sat in the locker room with him to talk.

He comforted and encouraged Cui Zhen, and told Cui Zhen some reasons why he was violated.

It can be said that Cui Zhen was not specifically targeted, but he has not yet fully understood English football.

Cui Zhen thought he understood, but that was only the tip of the iceberg of the Premier League.

Millwall does not belong to the Premier League. In terms of tactics and combat strategies, it still follows the old tradition abandoned by most of the Premier League teams.

From the end of the 80s to the 90s, England was even more lacking in foreign talents due to the suspension of the European War. The rough style of play was retrospectively emphasized on confrontation and aggression. At that time, a tactic emerged.

In the early stage of the opening, first put the opponent on the ground!
Use this momentum and wild attitude to deter opponents, so as to create a psychological advantage in the confrontation in the whole game!
This play - will it work?

Although in modern times, most Premier League teams have abandoned that style of play.As the Premier League returns to Europe and catches up, more and more excellent foreign players come to the Premier League, which changes the style of play in the Premier League bit by bit, so the style of play in the Premier League, the Championship, and lower-level English leagues , the difference has become huge.

However, the lower leagues that have been abandoned and sacrificed by the Premier League have very little change in them, so the rough style of play is still popular.

In the Premier League, they will now compete in technology and compete in more content-rich strengths, but hand-to-hand confrontation in the lower leagues is still the main theme.

Cui Zhen could feel that Mourinho was actually doing his best to comfort himself, as if to make himself more rational in dealing with injuries.

Not his fault!
It's the fault of those savages!
