Team Spirit

Chapter 110 (1.2 views, please vote!) The Emperor Star fell, but rose again; a vicious cycle of betrayal and treachery.

In the 72nd minute, Ashley Young, who had just come on, immediately brought a bit of the Green Gun shock to Manchester City fans!

Barton made a long pass to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young is about to show off his ball control skills as the ball comes flying down from the sky.

Suddenly, a white blob fell from the sky, heading straight for his cherry-like mouth.

Bird poop!

At the crucial moment, Ashley Young twisted his body and dodged the sneak attack of the bird droppings.

However, this also leads to distorted movements and instability.

Although he still managed to stop the ball perfectly at his feet, he slipped forward while stepping on it.

A split.

Shocked the whole audience!

Not only that, after he did the splits, he landed squarely on the soccer ball.

The three eggs collided, bearing a weight that was not theirs to bear.

Barton, who was passing the ball, saw it all; the pain was on his face, but he felt a surge of satisfaction inside.

On the big screen, Ashley Young is shown writhing on the ground in pain, clutching his groin.

Manchester City player Sun Jihai didn't even manage to steal the ball.

Instead, out of humanitarian principles, they kicked the ball out of bounds to allow the team doctor to enter the field.

Jiang Mengyun asked the temporary worker, the chubby team doctor, to check on him, as she was not available, and it was unlikely that Ashley Young was really injured after that.

It's just that the pain in that area needs some time to subside.

Besides, how could his pain pass through my Kai?
Ashley Young, at best, only lacks two key items and loses his fertility.

But Kai actually had a minor fracture in his leg bone!
"Hahaha!"

Laughter echoed from Maine Road Stadium.

The fans outside the stadium were shocked.

Is Manchester City's advantage really that big?

They're laughing so hard!

"It's hard to say. I don't know what to say about Ashley Young's performance."

"Before the game, some people compared Ashley Young to Wright Jr., but now I believe no one would say such nonsense anymore."

"Is the soccer ball too hot to touch or what?"

"Ashley Young's skills are really bad!"

"I have never seen such a bad player in professional football, but considering that Dartford came up from the amateur league, everything makes sense."

"With players of such poor quality, how high can Dartford's overall level be?"

Fans from all walks of life turned out to berate Ashley Young.

Only a very few people can see through slow-motion high-speed footage that Ashley Young controlled the ball after dodging a hail of bullets.

To be able to stop is to be a master!

"Um, is this player from your youth training program?" Sun Jihai asked Lu Kai in Chinese while the team doctor was examining him.

Lu Kai calmly shook his head: "No, he came from Watford."

The sound was very loud, as if he was afraid the Manchester City players around him wouldn't hear it.

Watford: ? ? ?
The temporary team doctor shielded the area slightly, checked it, and confirmed there were no problems.

The game then resumed.

Lu Kai looked up at the sky, his expression somewhat regretful.

Ashley Young will never know that his slight dodge did not mean he avoided a stroke of good fortune, but rather that he would reach the peak of his career twelve years ahead of schedule!
Left Envoy Yang, you're so foolish!

In the 76th minute, Lu Kai shielded the ball in midfield.

Sun Jihai came to seize it.

As a result, Lu Kai executed a Marseille turn and made a spectacular escape.

Sun Jihai was stunned.

Is it illegal to play such a flashy game in England?

Anyway, this is illegal in domestic competitions, and you'd get at least a few flying tackles for it.

boom!
Lu Kai made a cross pass to Ashley Young.

Sun Jihai immediately lunged at Ashley Young.

Ashley Young received the ball smoothly this time, preventing Manchester City fans from having any laughs.

His instep twitched.

The football pierced through Sun Jihai's groin as he made a desperate save.

Ashley Young made a forward run down the left flank.

The ball passed!

Poor Sun Jihai, who worked so hard, was repeatedly outplayed by two players who were not particularly skilled with the ball.

After getting past Sun Jihai, Ashley Young immediately went on a rampage, unleashing his full power.

Berkovic, who was caught off guard from the side, didn't give his opponent a chance to close the gap.

At this moment, only three Manchester City center-backs were blocking Ashley Young's path.

Ashley Young was positioned slightly to the left, very close to Erling Haaland.

So he flicked the ball to his right to adjust, avoiding the old man.

As a key player for Manchester City, Dunn faced Ashley Young head-on, but he did not rush forward. Instead, he fought and retreated, waiting for his center-backs and defensive midfielders to gather together.

He'd seen plenty of hotheads like Ashley Young.

Your rushing in only gives them an opportunity.

If you back down, they won't stop.

However, Ashley Young has been improving since last season.

He spent more time on the bench this season, which gave him more time to think.

Faced with this situation, he directly raised his foot from inside the arc.

Dunn immediately made a blocking action.

Fake shot!

Ashley Young dribbled the ball to his right and lifted his foot again!

However, Dunn was very capable. He did not give up all his strength in the first blockade, so he still had the ability to block a second time.

Dunn made a sliding tackle to block the shot.

On the other side, Howe also blocked the road laterally.

The two players crossed paths, their double-barreled defense completely shutting down Ashley Young's shooting angles.

If it were the old Ashley Young, this wave would definitely be over.

But this time it's different.

This was another fake shot!

Lu Kai's small hop step penalty point inspired Ashley Young to remember: don't act until you see the benefit!
boom!
Ashley Young took his third shot, aiming for the high center of the goal.

The football bypassed the space blocked by Dunn and Howe, heading straight for the goal.

Weaver made a save when Ashley Young made his second fake shot.

Although the shot wasn't particularly difficult to save, he struggled to maintain his balance and could only watch helplessly as the ball nestled into the goal, just over ten centimeters from his palm.

“GOAL!!!”

"Two to three! A miracle has happened!"

"Ashley Young's poor performance was like a display of divine inspiration! He scored a Maradona-esque super goal!"

"Did they beat five people in a row?"

"That's incredible! Was that really him who tripped and fell while stepping on the ball?"

"How can there be such a strong contrast in the same person?"

"I don't know if anyone has thought of Morgan, but it seems like Ashley Young is even better than Morgan right now!"

"Does Dartford have that many good items?"

Main Road Stadium fell silent.

Ashley Young then rushed towards the corner flag to celebrate his goal.

What is Morgan?
He was just my substitute back then!
Green Gun's morale has greatly increased.

The camera kept switching between Ashley Young and Wright Jr., the two players who recently scored goals.

It's as if they're asking everyone, which dwarf is the real King of Dwarfs!
"As we all know, Lu Kai has won the Golden Boy award, but what many people may not know is that the first player Lu Kai brought in for Dartford was Ashley Young."

"If Lu Kai is the undisputed number one golden boy in world football, then Ashley Young is Lu Kai's number one golden boy!"

"I would call him the square of the Golden Boy!"

The game is now suspenseful again!

In the 79th minute, Brad passed the ball to the left wing.

Ashley Young continued to bomb Sun Jihai.

The main advantage is that they are too flexible, not giving Sun Jihai a chance to close in and exert his strength.

boom!
Ashley Young completes a cutback pass.

Lu Kai made a run from the back and shot with his left foot, but the ball went just wide of the goal.

Right foot 6, left foot 2.

His left-footed passing and shooting accuracy is lacking.

His right foot could not withstand the force of the shot.

However, Lu Kai has excellent vision, and if he doesn't move forward, Green Gun will waste many opportunities.

It seems there's only one solution left.

Dartford made another substitution, with Marko Verde replacing Williams.

Intensify the attack.

A desperate gamble.

In the 83rd minute, Marko also stepped up to take over for Wright, using his excellent dribbling skills to get past him.

After drawing Howe's defensive attention, he passed the ball across to Lu Kai, who had made a run forward.

Lu Kai, near the top of the arc, didn't use his right foot to stop the ball, but instead let it slip to his left foot.

But Alf attacked from the left and stole the ball.

Lu Kai then used his left foot to pull the ball back.

【V-shaped pull ball】!
Simple yet easy to use!

boom!
Lu Kai sent a short, through ball with his right foot to find Marin.

The accuracy meets the standards.

Unfortunately, Dunn made a risky sliding tackle to clear the ball out of bounds before Marin could reach it.

Manchester City fans were terrified.

Because Dunn almost cleared the ball into his own net.

Ma Lin gave Lu Kai a thumbs up, meaning "Boss is awesome, well done."

Lu Kai also nodded.

That's right, a right-footed pass.

This is currently the only way he can threaten Manchester City's goal.

But passing and shooting are different.

Many skilled passers are not necessarily skilled shooters, and their goal-scoring rate is not high.

Because passing emphasizes trajectory, and a strong trajectory makes it easier for the goalkeeper to save the pass.

So no matter how precise you are, it's useless.

A professional player's shot is different from an ordinary person's shot in football. An ordinary person's shot actually falls within the "passing" range of a professional player.

Professional players' shots have an "explosive force," which can be understood as releasing wild power completely, making it easy to lose control of the ball.

Therefore, the accuracy of a shot is extremely difficult to control.

A top passer can easily pass the ball to a specific point or a specific area.

Even top-class goalkeepers find it difficult to consistently hit the ball accurately at a specific point or area.

Therefore, it is theoretically unlikely to score by passing the ball.

We need to think of other solutions.

"what!"

Lu Kai's thoughts were interrupted by the wailing in front of him.

Alf remained on the ground, not getting up for a long time.

"Oh! This... Is Alf injured again?"

"The situation is not good!"

"Alf was injured by Lu Kai's feint. Considering this is his first comeback after his serious injury, if he gets injured again, it will be troublesome!"

Recurrence of old injuries is one of the biggest causes of fragile skin.

Considering Alf's age, once his injury is confirmed, retirement will not be far off.

Fortunately, Alf's injury this time was not to his knee, but to his ankle.

It's a sprain.

Rather than a recurrence of an old injury.

Manchester City were forced to make a substitution, with Ritchie replacing Alf.

Manchester City fans applauded the veteran.

His comeback match was spectacular.

In the 86th minute, time was running out for Dartford.

Lu Kai made a gesture.

Ashley Young, Marin, Eastwood, Brad, and others launched pressing attacks.

Manchester City passed the ball back to Manchester City.

Until Howe passed the ball back to goalkeeper Weaver.

Weaver looked up at the midfield and forward area, where Wright Jr. suddenly made a forward run on the left, his intentions clear.

boom!
Weaver has long, big feet...

Kicked it!
In the final stages of a match, the pitch in front of both teams' goals is often at its worst because too many people are paving it.

A football can bounce or change direction if it hits even a small clod of dirt.

Plus, Weaver's attention wasn't entirely on his feet, so...

The ball wasn't kicked with much force, but it spun heavily and remained inside the penalty area.

Dunn rushed over to help immediately.

But Weaver, realizing what was happening, rushed over as well.

On the other side, Lu Kai was also charging towards the penalty area.

Dunn was the first to arrive, ready to clear the way with a powerful kick.

However, Weaver also rushed up and was on Dunn's right, blocking Dunn's leg swing space.

Therefore, Dunn could only change his foot position from finding Sun Jihai on the right to facing the right side, and instead, his foot was facing directly forward.

boom!
Dunn kicked the ball out with a long kick.

boom!
The next moment, Lu Kai, who had just stepped into the penalty area, leaped high and turned to block the ball with his back.

The soccer ball flew over Dunn and Weaver's heads and fell into the goal.

The Maine Road stadium erupted in uproar.

"Ah? This..."

"GOAL!"

"Three to three! Dartford have miraculously equalized in the final moments!"

"Manchester City's defense made a major mistake! Weaver and Dunn are two key players, this is unacceptable!"

"The situation would be completely different if the ball were passed out from Lu Kai's side."

"I didn't expect Lu Kai to score twice in this way. Apart from the beginning of the game, his performance was not particularly outstanding... Of course, this is in comparison to his past performances."

"Judging solely from his performance in midfield and even defensive midfield, he absolutely meets the standard."

"In that case, Dartford could very well have secured a last-minute equalizer, and a replay might be necessary."

"But a rematch would not be good for either side."

"Both sides are under pressure to get promoted, and the league schedule is crucial. This is especially true for Manchester City, as promotion to the Premier League is of paramount importance to them."

"A year of UK Master's degree, a lifetime of healing, eh... a year of Premier League."

"On the contrary, if Manchester City stays in League One, they may face a financial crisis."

"Datford also can't afford to waste time. Even without considering promotion to the league, they still have the EFL Cup final to play."

"The crucial replay was played at Dartford's Riverside Stadium, but it didn't generate much revenue. All the profits were made at Maine Road Stadium."

A rematch would be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Therefore, Manchester City replaced Sun Jihai with their 1.94-meter tall center forward, Neguai.

Add one more striker.

The father of Haber and the Chinese derby have both ended.

In the 89th minute, Wright dribbled down the wing and delivered a cross while being double-teamed.

Neguai won a clear space in the penalty area, but as a newcomer from the youth academy, he was called upon in a crisis and came on as a substitute. When the opportunity came, he might not be able to make the best choice.

Neguai then unleashed a powerful shot, attempting to forcefully break through the goal.

The result was that the accuracy was poor, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced away.

Kevin Keegan immediately knelt down on the sidelines.

How could you shoot that ball?

Go ahead and push!
Gently push!

Even if you use a passing technique, it's fine!
An Qi has clearly given up on making the save!

Hakubi, standing behind Neguai, was utterly despondent.

If it weren't for Neguai, he would have scored that goal!

One drink and one peck, could it be a predestined decision.

If Manchester City hadn't rushed to overtake and brought on a striker, they might have already taken the lead.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Barton broke free in midfield and was fouled, resulting in a free kick in the center circle.

The players stepped forward to compete for the ball.

Logically, Lu Kai should have been the one to take that shot.

But Lu Kai shook his head, signaling for Barton to come over, and said he would cover for Barton.

Given that a replay would be meaningless for Dartford, Anqi also left his post to contest the header.

boom!
Lu Kai feinted a shot.

Barton then passed the ball into the penalty area, creating a certain threat.

But the tall and outstanding Neguai redeemed himself, successfully clearing the ball with a header over Williams.

Wright-Phillips received the ball just outside the penalty area and immediately began his superb dribbling.

Manchester City strike back, the Blue Moon storm is coming!
Lu Kai immediately retreated.

Barton charged toward Wright Jr., trying to stop him.

But Wright knew Barton was about to foul, so he preemptively sent a long pass to the right wing.

Substitute center-back Richie made a high-speed forward run on this side.

He was in good physical condition and became the vanguard in this counterattack.

Lu Kai, who was retreating to defend, was not very fast.

Even... a little lame!

When Ritchie arrived at the left side of the arc, Lu Kai had just stepped onto the edge of the penalty area.

boom!
Ritchie met the ball with a shot using the inside of his foot.

Having fully learned from Neguai's missed powerful shot, his shot was now much lighter and more deliberate.

Accuracy is the top priority.

However, ball sports have a unique characteristic: the force applied not only affects accuracy but also many other things.

The most common question is whether or not it can be suppressed.

Using the same footwork, the same point of force, and the same angle, different amounts of force can result in completely different arcs of the ball.

Ritchie's touch was too light; he didn't control the ball properly, causing it to bounce with a large arc and significantly slow down its speed.

It landed inside the penalty area before bouncing towards the goal.

But the football had just bounced up.

Lu Kai leaped forward and slid in with a powerful tackle, successfully clearing the ball at the last second!
oh!!!
NO! ! !

A tremendous sense of injustice echoed through Maine Road Stadium!
Richie immediately knelt down, covered his face with his hands, unable to accept that he had missed the opportunity.

Lu Kai clears the siege at the goal!

"That's incredible! That was almost a sure goal!"

"I believe that when Wright Jr. passed the ball out, everyone at Dartford was already in despair!"

"But only Lu Kai did not stop!"

"Just like in the game where Dartford eliminated Liverpool, he ran hard and finally caught up with the miracle!"

"It was Kevin Keegan's substitution at the last moment. If he hadn't taken off Sun Jihai, who was performing very well, he would have handled the ball better given his maturity."

"Whether he shoots himself or passes the ball to a teammate, Manchester City will win the game."

The camera pans to Sun Jihai, who is stunned by Lu Kai's miraculous rescue.

From that moment on, he had a clear plan for his Manchester City career.

He was determined to pull off an incredible escape like Lu Kai did – one that never gave up!
for sure!
After being rescued, Lu Kai sat on the ground, hugging his right leg for a while to recover.

Running intensely can be deadly.

Jiang Mengyun was about to enter, but Lu Kai gestured for her not to come in.

Don't waste time.

If the referee sends him to the sidelines for treatment, it would give Manchester City a chance to play eleven against ten.

With the third minute of stoppage time remaining, the match is about to end.

Barton and Markov stole the ball from Wright near the center line.

Markov made a high-speed run down the right flank, launching the Green Guns' final counterattack.

Eastwood and Marin charged into the penalty area, drawing all the defensive attention.

Brad and Lu Kai also made forward runs one after the other.

Brad entered the penalty area first.

boom!
Makov made a cross from the flank.

However, Wright, spurred on by his defeat, frantically chased back after losing possession, making a sliding tackle that touched the ball.

The ball changed direction and flew towards the edge of the penalty area.

The ball landed precisely on Lu Kai, who was slightly slower.

At this moment, Lu Kai was completely focused.

He immediately rejected the option of a powerful shot.

This isn't about you kicking first and then slowly enduring the pain.

Rather, the pain is transmitted to the surrounding muscles the moment they come into contact with the football, causing them to twitch and spasm, followed by the conscious shaking of the body.

Therefore, a powerful shot will inevitably miss the target.

Passing the ball is the only option!

boom!
Lu Kai adjusted his position and kicked the ball the instant it hit the ground.

This is because it's the passing method that requires the least effort from the legs, utilizing the upward force of the ball as it bounces; all that's needed is a force to change its trajectory.

Whether you pass directly in mid-air or stop and swing your leg before passing, your legs will bear a huge reaction force.

One-touch pass!
【Rainbow Direct Load】!
The football flew past the figures of everyone in the penalty area and headed towards the goal.

when!
It hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Accuracy is still affected by pain!

But it's not entirely hopeless!

Lu Kai stared at Dunn, who was running towards the goal.

He also chose his position carefully for this "pass and shot".

The football flew over from Dunn's side.

The reason is that... luck manifests itself in some people.

For example, Carragher.

Carragher, with seven own goals, holds the second-highest number of goals scored against Liverpool in the Premier League. This begs the question: who is number one?

The answer is right there in the question.

Richard Dunn, the king of own goals in the Premier League!

Ten own goals, no match for them!
When you encounter difficulties.

In China, dial 12580 and press once for assistance.

In Liverpool, look for Carragher.

In Manchester, look for Dunn.

They are all renowned philanthropists in the football world.

boom!
Sure enough, the moment Dunn raised his foot as he ran towards the goal, the football came straight for his foot.

A powerful shot!
A direct headshot to Weaver!

The football bounced straight up and down the goal line, but didn't actually go into the net.

Everyone was stunned.

This……

Dunn, the instigator, reacted the fastest, rushing towards the football.

Marin followed closely behind, attempting to finish with a rebound shot.

After being shot in the head, Weaver fell to the ground, his mind blank.

But he was extremely professional; before his consciousness and vision had fully returned, he forced himself to get up and tried to grab the ball.

As a result, he stumbled and collided with Dunn, who was coming over to head the ball away.

The two men and the soccer ball rolled into the goal.

The birds that had been flying over Maine Road all left the stadium.

The sun shines down.

Shining on the goal.

It was as if a miracle had occurred.

Everyone in Dartford immediately turned to look at Lu Kai.

Ashley Young, in particular, was completely dumbfounded.

He is even confident that he will become the king of football.

But he knew that no matter what, he could never compare to the football god!
This ball...

Lu Kai forced a smile through his pain.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved.

“GOAL!!!”

"That's outrageous!"

"What's happening here?"

"What are Dunn and Weaver doing? Are they Manchester City's Carragher and Gerrard?"

"4-3! Dartford snatches a last-minute victory from Manchester City!"

"This is absolutely the most bizarre game of the season! Even Gerrard's bizarre slip and Carragher's own goal are not as outrageous as this one."

"Because in the match against Liverpool, all the interactions were one-on-one between Lu Kai! Lu Kai assisted Carragher to score and Lu Kai intercepted Gerrard to score."

"But today, several players put on a multi-pronged attack!"

"If Dunn's assist to Lu Kai is similar to Carragher's own goal, then..."

"So Lu Kai passed the ball to the goalpost, used the goalpost to pass it back to Dunn, and Dunn blasted the ball at his teammate Weaver, and finally they dribbled the ball into the goal together... If any link in this process had gone wrong, this goal would not have been possible!"

"Even if this kind of goal happened in Pro Evolution Soccer or FIFA, I would curse the system for being an idiot for arranging such an absurdly fake goal."

"But it actually happened in the real world!"

"As expected, games, novels, and movies are still too conservative!"

"I would call this shot... art!"

A huge Main Road stadium.

Thirty-four thousand people.

At this moment, there was absolutely no sound.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the field.

There, the Dartford players wanted to celebrate with Lu Kai, but Lu Kai stopped them by reaching out.

Everyone realized that Lu Kai had an injury on his leg.

Lu Kai, with his injured right leg hooked, hopped step by step toward the corner flag with his left foot.

The Green Gunners followed Lu Kai closely; for every step Lu Kai took, they followed with a step.

Even Manchester City fans couldn't help but temporarily forget about the outcome of the match in this scene.

Because they saw the purest form of football.

"I believe many fans have noticed that Lu Kai must have been injured today, which was especially evident in his performance in the second half."

"But he was probably actually injured in the first half. We will keep an eye on the situation after the game."

"I hope his injury isn't too serious. But right now I'm worried that playing through the injury will worsen it..."

Finally, Lu Kai jumped up on one foot in front of the corner flag, turned around and waved.

This is the most aesthetically unappealing Lu ever made!

But the Dartford players also shouted "Lu" at the top of their lungs, the loudest they've ever done.

Even many Manchester City fans shouted it out.

"Luuuuuu!"

They don't think Manchester City lost to Green Gunners.

But Manchester City lost to Lady Luck.

What perhaps moved Lady Luck was Lu Kai's perseverance in fighting despite his injuries.

The sound of Lu woke up the sleeping young Harland. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was Lu Kai's one-legged Lu celebration.

He may not remember it, but this action has been etched into the depths of his soul.

Haaland: Ever since I became conscious, I've vaguely remembered a figure falling from the sky! It was that figure that made me choose football!
……

Sky Sports: "A triple kill! Have you ever seen a game where a single shot not only puts the ball in the goal, but also puts two players in the net at the same time?"

BBC: "The football god doesn't have an exclusive favor for the EFL Cup! Dartford pulls off another own goal in the FA Cup!"

Dongqiudi (a sports website): "America has Apple, China has pineapple; Manchester City has Dunn, Liverpool has Carragher. The Citizens have Weaver, Gerrard; Green Gunner is still here, so what if he's injured!"

The Echo: "Horizontal inscription: Lu Shang is invincible!"

The Times: "The Green Guns vs. Blue Moon battle is selected as England's classic battle of the year! Alf returns but is injured again, the Chinese Suns shine in their first match, Wright is the best player for the Blue Moon, Ashley Young is Maradona in England, and Barton quietly leads the revenge battle!"

"The Voice of Green Gun": "He holds the sun and moon in his hands and plucks the stars from the sky; there is no one like him in the world! He pierces the blue moon with a single shot; his name is Dunn!"

The Sun: "Heartbroken! My Kai's test results aren't out yet. I hope his injuries aren't too bad, or I'll punch the earth to pieces... Aaaaa, I'm going crazy!"

After the match, Lu Kai was immediately taken to the hospital.

He didn't even have time for the best interview of the night.

So reporters flocked to interview Dunn, making him truly deserving of the title.

Dunn: "I can't explain those two balls, especially the last one."

"What? Me, Weaver, Carragher, Gerald, and I are Lu Kai's four best friends?"

"I have nothing to say. Do as you please."

Of course, some reporters also found Alfred.

Reporter: "Is Lu Kai really injured? Is his injury so serious that he can't even give an interview?"

"Could this be Lu Kai making excuses for his poor performance for most of the game?"

Alfred flew into a rage: "Do you know what you're saying?"

"If Lu Kai's performance in this game is considered poor, then people must be blind."

"Besides, isn't football all about winning and losing? When has it ever been about performance?"

"Manchester City played like winners today, will they be happy with this assessment?"

"Finally, regarding Lu Kai's injury, the team will release the results as soon as the hospital has them. We hope his injury is not serious, but... the situation may not be optimistic."

Reporter: "Does Lu Kai feel guilty about Alf's injury? Alf had just made his comeback, and then Lu Kai injured him again."

Alfred was so angry he laughed: "Where are Barton and Duff? Tell them to come over, I'll pay for their medical expenses!"

The World Sport reporter who worked for the BBC fled in a panic.

Other reporters then had a chance to ask normal questions: "Why didn't Dartford substitute Lu Kai immediately?"

Alfred: "Lu didn't tell the team doctor the truth at first; he told us he had no problems."

Reporter: "What about during halftime? You should have had a better understanding of his injury by then."

Alfred: "Yes, everyone wanted him to give up the game and get medical attention. But perhaps it was his obsession with winning. Without Lu, we couldn't have won this game."

Reporter: "Is Lu Kai willing to continue playing this match despite his injury because Green Gunners might receive hundreds of thousands of pounds for every step they take in the FA Cup at this stage?"

Alfred was sweating profusely: "He didn't, he's not, don't talk nonsense!"

The others also expressed their admiration for Lu Kai in the interviews.

Ian Wright: "Fighting while wounded was common in our time, but I have to say, such feats are becoming increasingly rare these days."

"Lu performed very well; he was the best player of the game."

"I'll go visit him with Sean later."

Schmeichel, standing nearby, expressed his regret over Weaver and Dunn's misfortune: "These own goals are unpredictable; they were very unlucky."

“But Lu Kai often creates such opportunities, which I think reflects his keen observation skills. When people think he has no presence, he may be analyzing each opponent.”

“Our goalkeepers also need this habit, and I often teach my son Kasper this.”

Schmeichel was looking for Casper, but couldn't find him.

He had a minor disagreement with his son.

He will most likely join Manchester City, and he hopes that Kasper will also transfer to Manchester City's youth academy.

Spending more time together will also benefit Casper's future.

Kasper did not show top talent as a goalkeeper.

Because of this, some negative voices have emerged around Casper, saying that he couldn't have entered the youth training of a top club based on his own ability, and that he only got in through his father's connections.

How can young people withstand this kind of questioning?

Kasper has been making a fuss about not wanting to come to Manchester City.

If Schmeichel insists on forcing him...

"Oh no!" Schmeichel realized that he shouldn't have brought Kasper to the Dartford game today.

Because Dartford is a "proof team"!
Nothing is more commendable than kicking someone out of Dartford!
They fought their way from the lowest levels of amateur leagues, semi-professional leagues, and professional leagues to the FA Cup quarterfinals and the EFL Cup final!

This kind of team is simply the ideal type for dream chasers!

Fake!

That kid wouldn't be thinking of going to Green Gun, would he?
Don't believe those outlandish rags-to-riches stories; what you know is only the surface.

Do you know anything about other people's parents, family relationships, wives' backgrounds, etc.?

Lu Kai must have some extraordinary abilities that are unknown to others to have made it this far.

You can admire, but don't imitate!
Schmeichel quickly left the camera's view and began calling her son, Casper.

But no one answered the phone.

Just as the media were celebrating, news came from the hospital.

Sky Sports: "Serious injury! Fractures! The world underestimated Lu Kai's willpower! He's a super tough guy!"

The Times: "Tibial fracture! Lu Kai's injury is serious and may end his season!"

Manchester Evening News: "Eight seconds after a bone fracture, he played the entire match; two goals and an assist, creating the winning goal! I would call him the toughest man in England!"

BBC: "Injury assessment results in! Lu Kai was kicked by Alf at the very beginning of the match! The dragon slayer has finally become the dragon himself, and Alf, whose leg was broken by Keane, has caused Lu Kai to break his leg!"

The Wales Morning Post: "A brilliant striker has fallen! Lu Kai, who once slew the red dragon, suffers a broken leg in the FA Cup!"

Kent Post: "A brilliant talent, his life is full of misfortune! Following a torn cruciate ligament three years ago, Lu Kai has suffered another broken leg! His future is uncertain!"

France Football: "How many minutes can a person engage in strenuous exercise after a bone fracture? The first Golden Boy, Lu Kai, gives you the answer: 93 minutes!"

Marca: "Playing despite a broken leg! The young Ballon d'Or winner shows his indomitable spirit; the Green Gun legend may be coming to an end!"

Lu Kai's injury has shocked the British football world.

Judging solely from his performance on the court, no one could have imagined that his injury was so severe.

At first, some people even thought he was being pretentious.

If you haven't been substituted, it means you can play. If you can play, don't show signs of pain all the time, and don't run all over the field trying to be present on both offense and defense.

Look at Neymar, the distance he rolls could circle the Earth.

That's what real injury is.

Lu Kai is pretending to be stupid.

As a result... Lu Kai was seriously injured.

Doesn't this make those who criticize him for not being tough enough look like animals?
Fans from all walks of life lined up to apologize to Lu Kai.

The worst among them was the BBC, who speculated about Lu Kai with the utmost malice.

After Lu Kai's injury was diagnosed, they turned around and blamed Alf.

Furthermore, Lu Kai's injury almost sealed Dartford's fate, ending their season in disarray and utter ruin!

Sky Sports: "In-depth analysis: Without Lu Kai, Dartford wouldn't even be able to win the League Two title, let alone get promoted!"

BBC: "Datford's season goal should be adjusted to avoid relegation! They could plummet to the bottom in the next three months!"

The Times: "Lu Kai misses out on the EFL Cup final London derby! Tottenham may face their weakest final opponent in history!"

The Echo: "Arsenal regrets Lu Kai's injury and hopes there will be fewer stadium injuries in England! They will push for further improvements to player medical insurance in the future!"

Manchester Evening News: "Louis Luka's meteoric career may be a microcosm of Dartford's rise and fall!"

The miracle came to an end.

That's the cruelty of football.

It is often at times like these that people begin to truly acknowledge Lu Kai.

Ultimately, one must go against the current to prove their uniqueness.

But they don't know how to cherish it.

The next morning.

Feeling guilty, Alf brought his wife and children to the hospital to visit Lu Kai.

Meanwhile, Lu Kai was sitting in a wheelchair, preparing to be discharged from the hospital.

He can only rest now.

Doctors believe the recovery period should be at least three months.

And there are only three months left in this season.

“Lu, I’m sorry, I…” Alf’s self-blame was palpable. “If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have done it.”

Lu Kai didn't have any complaints about Alf.

It's easy to tell whether it was intentional or not.

"It was an accident, not your fault. You're just responsible for the jersey you're wearing and your duties," Lu Kai comforted Alf.

As a result, Alf cried.

Oh oh oh!
Alf the Tiger shed tears.

Little Harland, nestled in his wife's arms, also began to cry.

Jiang Mengyun came over with the intention of comforting the child, and originally wanted to say, "This child is so cute."

But after seeing Haaland's appearance as a baby in swaddling clothes, I couldn't say anything more than "really special".

To prevent Alf from being cyberbullied, Lu Kai even drove Alf and the others away in his wheelchair.

He also gave an interview, saying, "It's not Alf's fault; he's an excellent player."

"In fact, he himself is a victim of injuries on the field, so he can better understand my situation at this time. He is willing to take responsibility for my injury, but I told him that it is not his responsibility."

"This was a simple accident, not a deliberate act of revenge or malicious harm."

"I also hope that everyone will not blame Alf. He is currently injured and needs more support from the fans."

"By the way, Sun Jihai is the same. He performed exceptionally well in this match. I hope everyone can support him. As a player playing in Europe, his first game was so outstanding. I believe he can reach another peak in his career at Manchester City."

“Wright-Phillips is truly an eye-opener. He and Ashley Young give you selective depression. It’s hard to say who is better. I have no doubt that they will make it into the England national team in the future!”

“An Qi…”

Lu Kai's interview received praise from everyone.

Kevin Keegan: "That kid is really kind; he has a kind of integrity that traditional English players don't have!"

Houllier: "He's even helping his fellow countrymen adapt to the environment here. That's not just emotional intelligence, it's character."

Florentino: "If Real Madrid had such a great team atmosphere, Real Madrid would become the greatest team. Raul needs to learn from Lu Kai!"

Ferguson: "Lucai is an excellent player, team captain, club president... He is so perfect that even the god of football is jealous, which is why he suffered one injury after another."

"I believe he will not be defeated by injuries."

"Also, stop asking me about Keane and Alf. I will not answer any questions about it."

Lu Kai and Alf's coordinated attack resulted in Keane being criticized again.

Manchester United, whose performance was already poor, was affected by this, and the atmosphere within the team also changed, with some players considering leaving.

It can be said to be an undeserved disaster.

……

Dartford, Pond Convenience Store, back room.

Looking at the "Kidney Tonic" on the table, Lu Kai hesitated.

Who should apply the medicine for him?
Aunt Jiang is definitely the best choice.

But she understands medical principles, especially about sprains and bone injuries.

Once she got the hang of it, Lu Kai's rapid recovery became hard to explain.

Although he could choose not to explain.

However, there are better options, so Aunt Jiang can play it safe.

"Hey Ashley, call Emily over for me. Then you can go home. Don't eavesdrop," Lu Kai instructed.

Ashley Young nodded and ran outside to find Emily.

Speaking of this injury, Lu Kai was also surprised that it was classified as a "moderate injury" by the system.

Rather than severe.

Therefore, we need to use [Kidney Treasure].

After use, it can be cured in 20 days, which is much different from the more than three months estimated by outsiders.

Even with a packed schedule in the English Third Division, he'll probably only miss four or five games due to injury.

This won't even have any impact on Dartford's results.

So it's not tragic.

The outside world's portrayal of Lu Kai's tragic situation is purely exaggerated.

But cognition always lags behind reality.

Expressions are always misunderstood.

Just like how the outside world had previously underestimated Lu Kai's abilities.

"Lu? Do you need help?"

Eva Green pushed open the door.

She wore a gray cardigan today.

Knitwear is very flattering.

Below is a pair of high-waisted jeans, a lightweight and form-fitting style.

It mainly showcases body curves, with a prominent bust and buttocks.

"Uh, well, it's nothing." Lu Kai glanced outside.

Ashley Young left happily with the ten pounds.

It seems Emily isn't coming today.

“Something must have happened. If Emily can do it, so can I.” Eva approached Lu Kai step by step, bending down to look at Shenbao.

In an instant, a beautiful scene unfolded before Eva.

Towering mountains and lofty peaks!

Majestic and precipitous!

"Is this for applying medicine? Let me do it, I've learned how to do it..." Eva poured the medicine into her palm, raising the bottle higher and higher, making a pretty latte art.

This technique seems to be a hodgepodge!

Did you accidentally click on the Japan and Korea section in the video tutorial?
Lu Kai knew he couldn't escape it today, so he could only roll up his right trouser leg, just for the sake of the team.

Time is money!
Eva then began applying the medication, taking great care of the client's comfort:
"Does it hurt?"

"Would this be better?"

Why are you gasping for air?

Ten minutes later, Lu Kai quickly pulled his trouser legs down.

Eva seemed somewhat unsatisfied, her tongue slowly sliding against her teeth: "How about I apply the medicine for you again?"

Lu Kai was completely baffled.

Who can bear this?
Help!
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly someone started banging on the door.

Emily screamed hysterically, "You bitch, come out here! What are you going to do to Xiao Kai! Get out here!"

Eva Green's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Ashley Young!"

"You actually dared to double-cross me?"

……

On the street outside the stadium.

Ashley Young handed the milk tea to Amorin, complaining, "Why did it take so long? The ice I added for you is almost melted."

Amorim wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, a smile that suggested he had led his team to the Europa League final. He said, "I borrowed some tissues from Emily... I suddenly felt a bit unwell and needed to use the restroom."

"By the way, how come you have money again?"

Ashley Young smiled mysteriously: "Information has value, and smart people know how to monetize it."

Amorin: "Huh? You didn't... tell someone something again, did you?"

Ashley Young paid no attention to the word "again," only concerned with boasting: "Quite the opposite. I earned these two cups of milk tea without saying a word!"

"Of course, don't rush things. Remember what I told you. When we come out to play football, what's the most important thing?"

Amorin pounded his chest: "Loyalty!"

Ashley Young nodded: "Yes. As long as you're loyal enough to me, I'll treat you to the best of everything!"

"You saw my performance at Main Road Stadium, right?"

Amorin: "Did you slip on the ball and land on your balls?"

Ashley Young: "I dribbled past five people in a row! Now everyone calls me Maradona in England, or Na Ying for short!"

"I guess it won't be long before a lot of big clubs contact me."

"I have already secretly distributed my email address and contact information."

"But don't worry, when I join Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea or Newcastle, my first request in the transfer negotiations will be that they buy you too! After all, you are an excellent product of Sporting Lisbon's youth academy."

Amorin appeared overjoyed, but he was a Benfica fan: "By the way, Yang, do you know how to disable the email settings that reject messages from unknown numbers?"

Ashley Young: "Huh? You can reject messages from strangers? I didn't know, I've never paid attention to that."

Amorin nodded: "Yes, that's right, you haven't paid attention to it."

After finishing their milk tea, the two went shopping.

Amorim helped Ashley Young throw away the cup.

He took a closer look before throwing it away.

My drink was labeled Jasmine Milk Green Tea, and it cost three pounds a cup.

Ashley Young's drink is "Yangmei Bursting Snow Bud Ice", thirteen pounds a glass.

“Ashley Young, Ashley Young, that’s all you’ve got!” Amorin shook his head calmly.

You really do eat the meat, and I just drink the soup.

But what if I also want to eat meat?
Want to eat meat? Talk to the boss directly – Green Gun Recruitment!
As Amorin turned around, Ashley Young saw a card in his inner pocket.

Ashley Young shook his head.

impossible.

I must be seeing things.

How could Amorim possibly have a "Green Gun Tea Princess Black Card"?

That's a super VIP card that offers the first ten drinks for free, the next ten at half price, free drinks with new products, and unlimited ice every month!
It's a symbol of status, and a single note can fetch several hundred pounds on the black market.

It must be because I wanted that card so much that I was hallucinating!

Otherwise, there's no way to explain where Amorin's card came from.

It couldn't have been Lu Kai who gave it to him, could it?

What is his relationship with Lu Kai, and what is my relationship with Lu Kai, Ashley Young?
Simply ridiculous!
Hahaha!
