Wang Xiaodong, whose hair was covered with gauze, appeared on the screen and immediately aroused the excitement of fans all over the world.
"Dad, this uncle is so interesting. Why is his head so big!"
Xiao Ming sat in front of the TV and just thought it was simply funny and interesting.
"This is called not leaving the line of fire for minor injuries!" Xiao Ming's father patiently taught.
"Slightly injured? I just saw this uncle bleeding a lot!"
"So, this uncle can be our role model!" Xiao Zhang's father said meaningfully: "You must learn from this uncle in the future, and never back down easily when fighting on the front line of the revolution..."
"I know!" Xiao Ming nodded confusedly and agreed.
...
No matter how seriously Wang Xiaodong was injured at this moment, Manchester United fans didn't care about it.
After the news of Tottenham's goal spread, the hearts of Manchester United fans around the world instantly went cold.
Manchester United fans at Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium began to put their hands together and pray to heaven.
The Manchester United players on the pitch already understood what was happening without the need for Ferguson on the sidelines to tell them.
After 17 minutes of play, Giggs stole the ball in midfield and passed it to Rooney in front. After receiving the ball, Lu Xiaopang raised his foot and shot.
The Wigan goalkeeper threw the ball away, and Ronaldo followed up and shot into the net.
1-0, Manchester United took the lead in the away game.
The Red Devils' goal gave the fans a sense of relief.
After they felt confident, they paid more attention to the game on the other side.
After the game, a Red Devils fan who was interviewed scratched his chicken coop-like hair when facing the camera: "Oh God, putting your destiny in the hands of others... Farke, that feeling is simply terrible!"
Five minutes later, Dong Fangzhuo successfully countered offside and knocked the ball back to the center.
Lu Xiaopang once again shot directly. This time the Wigan goalkeeper failed to save and the score was extended to 2-0.
Not long after Manchester United took a two-goal lead, news came from the other side of the field that excited all Red Devils fans.
...
Due to the continuous harassment by Liverpool players, Wang Xiaodong came off the field twice in a row to have his wounds bandaged.
This situation made most Tottenham players feel suffocated.
In the 29th minute, facing the Red Devils' sideline ball, Boateng rushed forward to press closely.
But Torres was faster and kicked the ball away first.
The next second, Boateng's uncontrollable right leg kicked directly into Torres' calf. The latter's legs were saturated and he fell to the ground, moaning continuously.
In the blink of an eye, the two colors red and white surrounded the yellow Reni, pushing and pulling each other.
Lennie put his hand into his breast pocket, ready to take out the cards.
Seeing the referee's action, the Red Army members grabbed the Tottenham players who were blocking the referee.
At the same time, Reni also took the opportunity to take out a card from his pocket and held it high above Boateng's head.
Seeing the bright red, Boateng was stunned on the spot.
Not only that, even Modric, Woodgate and others around him didn't react.
It wasn't until the referee put the red card back into his pocket that the other players realized it.
White Hart Lane was boiling in an instant.
In such an important final game, the team only had ten players left to fight.
How to kick the next point?
At this moment, the Tottenham players wanted to come forward to argue with the referee, but found that the Liverpool players had already protected the referee behind them, looking at the Tottenham players in front of them with a proud look on their faces.
At this point, Robbie Keane put his arm on the shoulders of Boateng, whose face was full of tears, and walked to the sideline with him.
"Kevin, don't be sad."
"Don't worry, for your sake, we will work together to get it out."
"Captain, I..."
Boateng wiped his eyes with his jersey, not daring to look directly at the angry fans in the stands.
In this way, Boateng, who kept sobbing, was taken back to the locker room by the assistant coach.
On the court, Tottenham only had ten players left to fight.
No one expected that because of Boateng's meaningless foul, Tottenham's good situation instantly entered a "severe winter".
With the advantage of one more player, Liverpool immediately launched a siege against Tottenham, seemingly seeking revenge for the first half of the tragedy.
Gerrard and Mascherano firmly controlled the midfield, and with one less player, Wang Xiaodong took the initiative to retreat and gave up the intensive defense in the midfield.
Not only that, in the final minutes of the first half, Tottenham began to passively use big football to cause damage and actively gave up all offensive capabilities.
In the 39th minute, Liverpool got a left corner kick.
After the ball made a curved arc in the air, it fell straight towards the penalty spot.
Woodgate jumped up with all his strength and tried his best to get on top.
But in the chaos, Liverpool No. 9 Torres suddenly penetrated diagonally from the outside, jumped and hit hard with his forehead.
Snap!
Torres' forehead hit the ball first. The ball bounced quickly after falling to the ground and hit Tottenham's door.
In the flash of lightning, Cerny, who had lowered his center of gravity prematurely, leaned over and fell to the ground.
Looking at the ball hitting the ground, his eyes were filled with despair.
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" on the goal line.
Wang Xiaodong, who was guarding the goal line, jumped up high and blocked the ball with his head.
The ball bounced back into the penalty area. Chimbanda, who was being chased, turned around and kicked the ball back into the opponent's half.
"Too dangerous!"
"Watch the replay again."
"Torres used his deft movement to get out of the gap early, which also resulted in his powerful header."
"The rebound is a test for the goalkeeper. Fortunately, there is a Chinese Great Wall on Tottenham's goal line."
"If it weren't for DONG, Liverpool might have tied the score by now!"
After Wang Xiaodong got up from the ground, before goalkeeper Cerny could speak, he pushed Woodgate hard in front of him and shouted: "Run! Run forward!!!"
At this time, it is most taboo for defensive players to stay in front of the goal.
After Wang Xiaodong got up, he did not "praise" his achievements. Instead, he thought about the game on the court.
Cerny, who was about to pat Wang Xiaodong's shoulder to encourage him, was stunned. He immediately put on a serious expression and stayed on the goal line.
Led by Wang Xiaodong, several defenders threw Torres on the offside line.
“Everyone must be 120% energetic!” Wang Xiaodong shouted as he ran, “Don’t you want to win the championship?
In the stands, some Manchester United fans who came specifically to "gather information" saw Liverpool's must-goal goal blocked by Wang Xiaodong with their heads. They all slapped their thighs in annoyance and yelled at their mobile phones in disappointment, telling their friends on the other side what was going on here. .
"Damn Liverpool! Damn Torres!"
"How incompetent!"
"You can't even score a goal like this!"
“It’s really delicious!”
"No wonder we can't even qualify for the Champions League next season!"
"Deserve it!"
Manchester United fans shouted in dissatisfaction.
But no matter how much they scolded them, Tottenham just stood firm.
In this way, with one player less, the two sides entered the halftime break.
