I AM the Football Star
Chapter 750 - 187: An Eye for an Eye, Winter Concedes!
"Oh! Is Lu Yang injured? Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay!"
"It should be this moment! Koschel collided with Lu Yang from the side. He's really sly. It's a collision move; he deliberately used his shoulder! In that position, he can't block Lu Yang, but he can hit Lu Yang, affecting the power and accuracy of Lu Yang's header!"
"From this action, Koschel indeed has the qualification to enter the France National Team. His defense is not only timely but also very 'hardcore'! Although some people do not appreciate this kind of defense, this is high-level defense in top-tier soccer!"
"If Lu Yang backed off, then he wouldn't have gotten injured!"
"But Lu Yang used his left hand to fend off Koschel, maintaining his balance as he smoothly completed the header towards the goal."
"White's defense was also very strong; he stood ahead of Lu Yang. If Lu Yang hadn't pressed him with his position first and jumped slightly lower, it's uncertain who would have headed this ball."
"But White's obstruction effectively created a situation of being sandwiched for Lu Yang. Lu Yang's body collided with White, and Lu Yang endured it. But at this moment, Lu Yang's left hand had a noticeable unnatural twist!"
"The force was too immense!"
Of course, lying on the ground is not only Lu Yang but also England's main center-back, Solcan White.
He collided head-on with Lu Yang, and both their bodies felt like they were about to fall apart.
A while later, White struggled to stand up: "Damn! This kid has really tough bones! I'm about to get concussion from this hit!"
On the other side, Lu Yang lay on the ground, clutching his left arm.
White is indeed tough, but with Lu Yang's strength at 95, he's not afraid of anyone in a frontal confrontation.
But Koschel's side collision really did a number on Lu Yang.
Pain kept emanating from his left arm.
People who frequently use their phone in confined spaces would deeply understand this feeling, where holding the phone too close to the face results in a cramped elbow, making the joint excruciatingly uncomfortable.
With prolonged exposure or pressure applied, it becomes very painful.
Lu Yang feels his elbow suffered an overload of this kind just now.
Coupled with Koschel's solid collision.
Lu Yang's forearm got caught between Koschel's left shoulder and White's right shoulder, forming a direct injury.
With the combination of these two injuries, Lu Yang's left arm was in such pain that he couldn't move it at all, necessitating a rest.
"Ding! Your left forearm suffered immense external force pinching, resulting in a fracture."
"Ding! Superstar Skills Ironman activates, freezing the injury temporarily, preventing further deterioration. Post-match, the damage will be randomly reduced!"
Injury waiver activated.
Lu Yang almost had to leave the field at the start.
"What's wrong with you!" Sogel, Bai Zhami, Morici, and others ran up.
The team doctor rushed over too.
But Lu Yang refused the doctor's examination, saying to him: "Prepare a technique for handling bone fractures without hard objects; I need to temporarily deal with my arm during the halftime break."
The team doctor was dumbfounded.
Dealing with a fracture?
This...
"No major issue, I'm just preparing for any possibility." Lu Yang did not want to scare the team doctor and did not want to exit the field.
Apart from occasional pain, it should not affect his match significantly.
And the pain is not from the forearm fracture but from the overload bending of the elbow, considered as recoverable damage, which would likely ease in more than ten minutes.
The team doctor hurriedly informed Sotu after saying a few words, then ran back to the dressing room to prepare.
For arm fractures, typically splints are used.
But some bandaging techniques don't require splints, though the effect won't be very good, providing minimal relief.
And the conversation between Lu Yang and the team doctor was quickly deciphered on the big screen!
The commentator received a notification from the director and said with astonishment: "Lu Yang's arm might have a fracture? Really? Let's look at the replay of when he got injured...oh...it's indeed possible."
"Certainly, it might not necessarily be a fracture; it could be a bone crack or something similar, but overall, the situation is not very good."
"San Remo scored a goal but paid such a big price, possibly not a good thing."
This 'injury' delayed the game for two to three minutes.
After that, the match resumed.
Arsenal started off again.
Trailing 1-0, Arsenal naturally pushed aggressively forward.
They traversed the midfield at astonishing speed.
Because all their wing players, left and right midfielders, left and right wing-backs, along with two midfielders and two forwards, are all speed-type players!
This is absurd!
But it's the truth!
This stage of Arsenal is lightning-fast!
They indeed play beautiful football with a lot of passing.
However, compared to Barça's possession-play, Arsenal's occurs more in the opponent's half, during the attack phase.
They use their speed like the wind to break through the opponent's defense. Their coordination is extremely quick, with the ball quickly passing from player to player, overcoming all defenders.
But their ball delivery is relatively raw, relying on speed players for fast advancement.
This is England's style of ball control, seemingly holding the ball but actually, their sharpness lies in their speed.
Whereas Barça... prefers controlling possession in their own half, using possession to lull the opponent, then tearing them apart and seizing the moment for a decisive strike.
Especially with super players like Moreira and Mateo, Barça's handling is simpler once nearing the opponent's half, often depending on these players' individual capabilities to decide the match.
