Chapter 184 (Seeking Monthly Tickets) Green Gun Jersey Sales King, Gunner-Sarrison's Tragic Leg Break in the Battle
But Ashley Young didn't expect that the "benefits" from that red card would go far beyond that.

2004 was a pivotal year for the football world in addressing the issue of stadium violence.

This year, a series of regulations were introduced, mainly targeting players who provoke each other, including provoking fans.

That famous shirtless celebration is something that will get you a yellow card starting this year.

Ashley Young's punch was undoubtedly a slap in the face to UEFA.

UEFA imposed a severe punishment on Ashley Young.

In addition to the one-match ban that comes with a red card, an additional five-match ban will be imposed.

This means Ashley Young's Champions League season is over – should Dartford fail to advance.

Even if he makes it to the round of 16, he won't be able to play until the second round.

Sky Sports: "Ashley Young's six-match ban has shocked Europe! Don't become an irrational player like him!"

BBC: "He deserves credit for protecting Lu Kai, but he also deserves to slap UEFA in the face. Call him Ashley Young! He's not taking the blame for Lu Kai, but for countless players who have lost their minds!"

Dongqiudi: "Making an example to warn others! UEFA is showing zero tolerance for violence on the field to European players!"

Ashley Young was genuinely stunned.

A six-match ban from European competitions?

Is this going to kill him?

Green Gun offers low pay and high bonuses.

Appearance fees and such are all included in the prize money, awarded for each match, with the Champions League being the most lucrative.

Considering his habitual spending on bubble tea and paid news articles, if his cash flow were to dry up and he were chased by creditors, he would lose face big time!

Ashley Young could only call Jiang Mengyun with tears in his eyes, reapplying for a handyman job at the convenience store to keep his cash flow.

You ask why the salaries created can sustain the cash flow?

Because of leverage.

Alibaba's 3 billion investment almost embezzled 300 billion. Is it really that difficult for Alibaba, with a monthly salary of a few hundred pounds, to support its expenses of tens of thousands of pounds?
This ban has had a very significant impact in the UK.

How egregious was Barton's foul?

In terms of how addictive Peipei is, how addictive is she?

In terms of lethality, Lu Kai has single-handedly defeated entire opposing teams on numerous occasions.

The problem is that none of these players received severe punishment.

Ashley Young, however, was executed, making people realize that UEFA was not just making empty threats this time.

They're serious!
The atmosphere of British football will begin to change for the better from this point on. Although it will take some time to see the results, Ashley Young, the "founding father," will surely be remembered for his infamy and immortality!
However, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Ashley Young received additional revenue from jersey sales due to this severe suspension.

Pond Convenience Store.

Lu Kai personally handed over one percent of the jersey sales revenue to Ashley Young.

Dartford doesn't have any star players, so naturally they don't get a share of the jersey sales revenue.

However, Lu Kai was kind-hearted and set a 1% share of jersey sales for all players.

He drives a Lamborghini himself, and he wants his employees to be able to afford Yadea cars too.

The other players in the convenience store applauded, it was unclear whether they were praising Lu Kaigaoyi or Ashley Young for revitalizing the team's jersey economy.

"Hey Yang, could you sign some more jerseys for me?" Vardy brought over a bunch of jerseys.

Ashley Young, like a calligrapher, occupied a customer table and wrote his name in a grand and flowing style.

Even this is still considered shoddy workmanship.

In the past few days, he wrote mostly "to sign" messages, such as "To my dear darling, I wish you success in your studies."

"Jamie, your friends have great taste; they're all my fans!" Ashley Young said happily.

Vardy glanced at Amorin with a hint of guilt.

Amorim signaled to Vardy not to panic.

In fact, Ashley Young doesn't have any fans at all.

The jerseys that Vardy brought to sign were actually bought by other players on the team, but for out-of-town players like Amorim and Modric, having too many Ashley Young fans would seem fake, so they found a local, Vardy, to act as a white glove.

After these autographed jerseys are sold, everyone gets a share, which is a decent amount of extra income.

This kind of quick money only lasts for a short time. After Ashley Young loses his popularity in a month or two, it's gone.

So Lu Kai turned a blind eye.

Unless the scale is particularly large and forms an industrial chain like Wang Tao's, Lu Kai will not get involved.

Fran looked at Ashley Young's autograph and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Both Ashley Young and Forlán were heavily criticized by fans, yet Ashley Young still made money. Forlán, on the other hand, was purely a negative influence at Manchester United... Green Gunner was genuinely good to the players.

The division of jerseys is really important.

Crouch: "Young is really hot right now."

Arshavin: "It's so popular."

Carrick: "His jerseys are on fire everywhere on the streets now."

Ashley Young spent several hours writing and finally finished signing all the jerseys.

Vardy, Amorim, Ten Hag, Sterling, Kane, and others walked out carrying their jerseys.

Ashley Young, seeing this, wondered if his fans were waiting outside.

So I also went out to take a look "casually".

Then she was surrounded by admirers.

Then, showcasing an approachable idol image...

“Lu, come out for a walk with me.” Ashley Young strongly invited Lu Kai to come along, because he wanted to show Lu Kai that his popularity as the vice GOAT was no less than Lu Kai’s.

I made you the GOAT simply because I respect you, not because you're more popular than me.

After all, there's an old saying in Hong Kong: "No matter how popular you are, can you ever be more popular than the Four Heavenly Kings?"

The Four Dark Kings, he is also a king!

Lu Kai looked troubled: "Ashley, how about we call it quits? Let's go to the training ground instead. It's like a walled city there, unaffected by the outside world's disturbances."

Ashley Young knew Lu Kai was scared: "Hey Lu, I have to criticize you for this. As the team leader, you should be more tolerant."

"Although my jersey sales are the highest among all Green Gunners, in my heart, you will always be my benefactor. No matter how high I fly in the future, I will always be willing to be a step below you and never steal your thunder!"

Modric gave a peace sign from the side: "You're now two centimeters shorter than Lu, so you're practically two sections."

Ashley Young ignored Modric, a sycophant; how could a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan?

Modric respects Lu Kai because he is not as good as Lu Kai.

Ashley Yang has clearly surpassed Lu Kai, yet I still admire him!

Can this be the same?
Ashley Young unleashed his ultimate Chinese attack: "Lu, if you don't come out with me, you're disrespecting me!"

Lu Kai nodded helplessly: "Then you should prepare yourself mentally."

Ashley Young quickly went to the restroom to tidy himself up, and then walked out of the convenience store with Lu.

There were already many fans around.

They were all holding Ashley Young's jersey.

Of course, Vardy and his friends hugged even more.

Everyone placed their jerseys in the middle of the road, and Amorim sprinkled some clear liquid on them.

Ashley Young laughed: "I never expected the fans to prepare such a grand ceremony for me. It must be holy water obtained from St. Paul's Cathedral in London!"

"These jerseys should be blessed with a water ritual."

"But won't it get dirty if we just put it on the ground? It's probably to connect with the ground and let the jersey absorb Dartford's magical essence..."

boom!
The next moment, flames roared up.

Ten Hagh used his extensive camera equipment, worth tens of thousands of pounds, to film the fire.

Lying on the ground, from various angles.

This……

Ashley Young was a little confused.

What do you mean?
Is this a tribute to the fans who are burning it for their heavenly cause?

Is that much?

Sterling, dressed in his choir uniform, recited: "May there be no Ashley Young in heaven!"

Kane joined in the chant: "May violence no longer fill the stadium."

Mertens, who is short in stature, made a cameo appearance as a child choir member: "May football no longer be full of injuries."

Modric, being the right height, stepped forward and said, "May he repent and become kind!"

All the fans joined in singing: "Ah! The sacred Green Gun!"

Emily, holding a microphone and surrounded by four or five cameras, interviewed the fans in the audience: "What are you doing here?"

Green Gunners fans: "We are purifying the team."

"The Holy Lance is a great team, and our spirit and culture have inspired countless people."

“Recently, some uncivilized behavior has occurred within our team, which makes us ashamed. We hope that every player understands that your foul is not just a foul, but also a damage to the team's fighting power.”

"If we fail to perform at our best in the Champions League and are eliminated, everyone will be saddened."

"We hope to use this method to make Dartford players, and even players across Britain and Europe, realize this and resolve conflicts in a more reasonable way, so as not to waste their own time or the team's time."

Soon, all the fans were chanting again: "Let football be more football!"

After filming, sanitation workers supervised the site to ensure that the jerseys were completely burned, there were no open flames, and that no fire would be caused before leaving.

Extremely high quality.

Ashley Young was completely numb throughout.

Back at the convenience store, it dawned on him: "So... everyone bought my jersey to... burn it?"

Gareth Southgate comforted Ashley Young, saying, "Ashley, do you know what this means? It means they wanted to burn your jersey, but they never actually bought it!"

Nanmen laughed heartily, having avenged the Middlesbrough statue incident from a few days earlier.

Ashley Young immediately started searching for a knife: "Ah, I'm going to kill you, you Mickey Mouse!!!"

Vardy, fearing Ashley Young might have a mental breakdown, took the opportunity to stab himself in the back as well, quickly admitting his mistake: "Young, I didn't mean to. It's just that a fan placed an order, a huge amount, and we accepted the order and had no choice but to fulfill their request."

Ashley Young, however, caught the key information, a glint in his eyes: "Does it have to be burned in front of me?"

Lu Kai advised Ashley Young: "Didn't I tell you to go to the training ground? Don't look, you won't be sad if you don't know."

Amorin: "Normally, they buy jerseys and burn them for the same price, but we offer them a burning service so we can earn a little more. All they have to do is send them the video after the burning, just like the grave-crying service. The main point is that the sentiment is there, whether the person actually comes or not doesn't matter."

Sterling: "That's really profitable!"

Ashley Young had a sudden inspiration: "Wouldn't it be more valuable if I were in the video? Could that further boost my jersey sales? I can cooperate with you guys and burn through the money even more!"

Lu Kai turned to Jiang Mengyun and said, "Let's raise his hourly wage a bit. I feel like he's under a lot of financial pressure."

Soon, this spontaneous action by fans organized by "The Shepherd Boys in the Flames of War" made headlines in publications such as The Voice of Green Guns, The Sun, BBC, and Sky Sports.

The documentary series "My Love Diary at Asen Green" also dedicated an episode to this topic, showcasing the high level of moral character from both the players and fans of the Asen Green team.

This is an episode on "anti-war themes".

The act of burning Ashley Young's jersey demonstrates the Green Gunners' determination to embrace benevolent football.

Ashley Young's attitude in admitting his mistakes is commendable, and he is using this opportunity to clear his name, thus avoiding being associated with villains like Patton.

Patton was an incorrigible tough guy.

Ashley Young is a softie who admits his mistakes easily.

People say Ashley Young has turned over a new leaf, but deep down they probably approve more of Patton.

Joyce previously spearheaded a "football culture reform" within the Football Association and served as the head of the reform committee.

This "cleanup operation" by Green Gun has greatly demonstrated the FA's zero-tolerance policy towards football violence, and the reform work has achieved great success.

This became one of his core achievements, increasing his chances of succeeding in his bid for the position of Zhu Xi in the English Football Association!
On the Green Guns' side, thanks to Ashley Young's cooperation, Dartford quickly launched related merchandise—the Ashley Young Atonement T-shirt.

It's just a simple training shirt and white t-shirt with Ashley Young's silhouette printed on it, and the words "Do not kill," "Do not steal," "Do not commit adultery," "Do not lie," and "Do not drink alcohol" on the back. It's known as the "Sacred Gun Five Commandments - Ashley Young Edition."

It's selling incredibly well!

It's like a fashion item.

This time, Ashley Young received 30% of the net profit, making a fortune.

He overcame the ridicule from fans and successfully found a business opportunity, which will soon be listed as a classic teaching case by major business schools.

Although Ashley Young's reputation was ruined in football, he has found success in business.

In a few years, when people look at player jersey sales, they won't care about this history at all.

All people will know is that Ashley Young's jersey sales skyrocketed for one month, even surpassing those of England's jersey king, Lu Kai.

Who dares to say Ashley Young isn't the GOAT?

……

In the following two weeks, Dartford drew both Premier League matches against Manchester City and Aston Villa.

Not bad.

September 29th, the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Dartford host Barcelona!

Given their relationship, this match is not just a derby, but it's even better than a derby!

The media from both sides had already engaged in heated exchanges before the match even began.

Mundo Deportivo: "Datford's strongest player is suspended, and Lu Kai's so-called strongest left-handed core is nothing but a fraud!"

Diario Sport: "Ashley Young is incredibly talented but underrated, and a true hero of Chelsea's seven-time champions! Without his help, Lu Kai would have definitely slipped up and lost to Ronaldinho!"

It's worth noting that prior to this, both newspapers had given Ashley Young terribly low marks. They said he wasn't even as good as a toe of Shaw, and that he was doomed after breaking his leg.

A reporter also asked whether Ashley Young's absence would have any impact on the game.

Alfred smiled slightly: "I even think the team is stronger now!"

Ashley Young: ???
Lu Kai was considerate of Yang's feelings: "The United States doesn't like Islam, nor does it like China, but it really likes Islam in China."

"The Catalan media don't like Green Gunners, nor do they like uncivilized, suspended players, but they really like Green Gunners' uncivilized, suspended players."

"I understand the applause."

The audience erupted in applause that lasted for a long time.

Due to the poor relationship between the teams, the players did not show any enthusiasm in the player tunnel in order to avoid being criticized by the fans.

However, Valbuena and Shore still took the initiative to find Lu Kai and hug him.

Lu Kai wished them a good performance in this match.

But in fact, before the game, Lu Kai made special preparations to defend against these two former teammates.

Barcelona's starting lineup is as follows:

Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Valbuena
Deco, Motta, Xavi

Scholi, Puyol, Oleg, Belletti
Valdes
-

Compared to last year, there have been significant changes, with many new signings, all of whom are high-caliber players.

But were the previous players not strong?
It can only be said that this year's batch of players is more suitable for Ronaldinho to play to.

How well Barcelona played depends on how well Ronaldinho played.

Just like how well Green Gun plays depends on how well Lu Kai plays.

However, the difference between Lu Kai and Ronaldinho is that Lu Kai has many ways to carry the team. He can be like Ronaldinho, like Pirlo, like Vieira, or even like Maldini or Nesta.

Dartford's starting lineup is as follows:
Arshavin, Fran, Lu Kai

Patton, Carrick, Toure

Cicinho, Davids, Cannavaro, Maicon

Foster

-

Cicinho is relatively mature, and his personal abilities, experience, skills, and tactical understanding are all quite good, much better than teenagers.

After playing for Green Gunners for two months, his performance at left-back is already on par with Ashley Young.

Ashley Young was originally a regular starter at left-back.

However, Cicinho became the biggest beneficiary of this suspension, joining Ashley Young in the Champions League.

Ashley Young plays in the league, while Cicinho plays in the cup.

The Champions League is also very important; sometimes we need to use the league to train and get a feel for the game.

Therefore, Ashley Young's actual playing time was roughly equal to that of Cicinho.

Fortunately, Ashley Young himself didn't seem to mind. After all, as the "Five Commandments Jersey Manager," he had many commercial commitments and had to attend some fashion shows during this period.

Soon, the match officially began.

The 35,000 fans at the Green Gun Penguins Stadium were in a frenzy, waving flags and cheering for their team, creating a "devil's home ground" atmosphere.

As a legendary team, the past two years have been the most exciting time for our fans!
In the third minute, Sherry delivered a cross from the left wing, the ball curving perfectly.

Davis clears the ball with a header.

The camera focused on this player because he was an "unexpected" starter in this match.

Vidic and Cannavaro should be the Celtics' first-string lineup this season.

In the league, the combination of Vidic and Davis is sometimes used.

However, Vidic's aerial dominance is a significant advantage when playing against a shorter team like Barcelona.

To everyone's surprise, Alfred started Davis in this game and dropped Vidic.

Alfred: It's none of my business, it was Lu Kai's decision.

The reason is data overflow.

The difference between Vidic and Davis is that when playing against taller teams, Vidic remains a dominant forward, while Davis does not.

But against Barcelona... anyone can be a striker.

Vidic's overflowing air superiority attribute was wasted.

In contrast, Davies has a significant advantage in terms of speed and agility, making him less vulnerable to targeted attacks from Barcelona's "death lineup".

Even when smaller players are fighting larger ones, they can still gain an advantage.

In the seventh minute, Barcelona continued their attack down the left flank.

Ronaldinho creates a threat with the ball, then passes it to Shory.

But this time, Maicon went straight into a one-on-one confrontation with Shaw.

Under continuous pressure, Shory lost possession.

Cheers erupted from the stands.

As a former Green Gunner, Sherry has very obvious strengths and weaknesses, making him a typical piece of the championship puzzle.

Beckham's crosses are unparalleled, especially with his left foot.

Their defense is also quite solid.

If used properly, it can deliver the core effect.

But it's easy for the opponent to strangle you.

Because of his weak physical strength, he is very poor at handling the ball under pressure.

Therefore, he couldn't adapt to the Premier League and could only play in the second or third tier of competitions in England.

But in La Liga, a league with a strong technical atmosphere and a defensive style that emphasizes positioning and conservatism, Sherry really played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses.

He secured his starting left-back position at Barcelona from day one.

It's one thing to hit others.

Shoot the green gun... Whenever Lu Kai is needed, Barcelona is essentially missing a left-back.

In the thirteenth minute, Ronaldinho was still unwilling to give up.

Using his individual skills, he skillfully dribbled past two players on the left flank and then passed the ball back to the other side.

However, he did manage to pull Maicon away.

Lu Kai, however, chased back, maintaining his coverage of Xiao Li.

Just as Xiao Li was about to receive the ball, Lu Kai had already closed in and started to challenge him.

Xiao Li fell to the ground.

Lu Kai made the steal.

The referee did not blow the whistle. Lu Kai turned around, swept the front of the field, and kicked the ball long to the left.

Counter-attack with a long diagonal pass.

He used the same footwork as the "Crescent Moon Blade" technique, creating a "speed" effect.

Arshavin made a run down the left flank and successfully received the ball.

Barcelona's center-back Oleguer had to step up.

Puyol also needs to adjust his position.

Fran thus earned half an open shot.

boom!
Arshavin's biography.

Fran and Puyol clashed, but the former was in a better position.

Fran headed the ball towards the goal.

The football went into the net.

“GOAL!!!”

"One to zero! The goal scorer is Diego...Forlán!"

The scene erupted in excitement.

Green Guns fans have every reason to be excited.

Because this season, the gap between the two sides looks really big.

Last season, Barcelona once climbed to second place in La Liga.

Dartford may be a level below, but being number one in League One is still number one. Both are championship-caliber teams.

This season, Barcelona has gone even further, currently sitting atop the La Liga table.

Green Gunners, on the other hand, are only 13th in the Premier League, a mid-to-lower table relegation team.

At the same level, the difference becomes immediately apparent.

Unexpectedly, the Green Gunners scored the first goal.

It seems the Premier League is the Premier League, and the Champions League is the Champions League.

There is no absolute connection between the two.

In the 27th minute, Maicon once again marked Shawri closely.

Carrick and Toure teamed up to successfully eliminate Ronaldinho.

But Barcelona immediately counter-pressed, and possession changed hands repeatedly.

The players from both sides quickly gathered to the right rear of the Green Gunners.

Lu Kai received a direct pass from Maicon and attempted a Marseille turn.

Kemota's precise sliding tackle successfully interrupted Lu Kai's technical move.

Lu Kai immediately fell down.

His rear foot was caught on the studs of the football kicked by Motta, leaving several bloody marks on his calf.

But neither of them paid any attention to these things, and both tried to stop the other from getting up when they were getting up, showing great awareness.

In the end, neither of them was able to get up.

Ronaldinho retrieved the ball and delivered a through pass.

Eto'o and Valbuena made a cross-run, with the latter shaking off the defense, receiving the ball inside the penalty area, and turning to shoot.

Blind shot, successful!

The football passed Foster's fingers.

"Oh! Barcelona has equalized."

"The goal was scored by Valbuena."

"I wonder if Dartford regrets selling this sharp trowel now?"

Valbuena did not celebrate after scoring.

This has angered some Barcelona fans watching on television.

But the Green Gun fans at the scene gave it a thumbs up.

Valbuena was, after all, a member of the Green Gunners, and he even knows the team's "corporate culture."

If he dared to celebrate, he feared he wouldn't be able to leave the stadium.

The camera quickly focused on Lu Kai.

Lu Kai and Mota were elbowing each other as they tried to get up, and they were really angry with each other.

But after confirming that the ball had been scored, the two men, who had climbed halfway up the field, both lay back down on the grass to take a break.

Mota then stood up and reached out to help Lu Kai up.

He noticed the wound on Lu Kai's calf: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Lu Kai nodded: "You made a good defensive play."

Lu Kai didn't say the last half of his sentence.

"But a good defender won't let the situation escalate to the point where a tackle is needed to resolve it!"
Because a tackle is a last resort in defense, it can easily injure both the attacker and the defender.

The two patted each other on the back and returned to their respective positions.

The camera then focused on Lu Kai's calves, showing everyone the bloodstains on them.

Many fans in the stands were criticizing Motta.

But Motta really didn't foul.

This situation often only proves how intense the competition is.

In the 31st minute, Ronaldinho passed the ball back to Deco, who then launched a long pass to Valbuena on the right.

But Cicinho kept a close eye on Valbuena the whole time and headed the ball out of bounds.

Today, Lu Kai's task for him was to mark Valbuena closely for the entire game.

Judging from the results, Cicinho didn't keep up with that last move.

Overall, however, his marking and limiting effect was still quite obvious.

In the 33rd minute, Green Gunners launched an attack down the right flank. Maicon overlapped with Toure on the wing, received the ball, made a run down the flank against Shawri, and then passed it back to Lu Kai.

Mota charged straight at Lu Kai.

Lu Kai turned his back to the opponent.

There was a bang.

The intensity of the confrontation stunned the referee for a moment.

However, both of them were able to withstand the powerful reaction force.

Lu Kai was positioned on the right side of the penalty area, facing the right corner flag, with Motta on his back.

He pulled the ball with his right foot and made a forward movement to turn to the right.

Motta dared not let Lu Kai go, even though Lu Kai was turning right to get away from the penalty area.

However, Lu Kai's lateral dribbling after turning allows him to carry the ball towards the top of the arc, making him even more threatening.

Mota shifted his weight and rammed into Lu Kai.

Bang!
Lu Kai wasn't feinting; he was actually colliding with Mota again.

Both of them were thrown back slightly.

But the next moment, both of them regained their balance and collided sideways for the third time.

Motta was quite surprised.

After all, he was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and stronger and heavier than Lu Kai.

But when it came to a confrontation, Lu Kai was in no way at a disadvantage.

This……

Lu Kai had the ball at his feet, and in the final collision, he was ultimately pushed away by Motta.

Just as Motta was about to smile and reach out to steal the ball...

But he found that Lu Kai, who had been pushed aside, had turned 180 degrees in mid-air, and at the same time, he changed from touching the ball with his toes to stepping on the ball with the balls of his feet, pulling the ball away and dodging Mota's determined tackle.

[V-shaped pull] To the right, Lu Kai dribbled past Motta, entered the penalty area, and unleashed a powerful shot with his right foot.

However, after Motta landed on his left foot, he forced his way through and turned to the right.

A preemptive turn and a sliding tackle.

They anticipated Lu Kai's actions.

Blind spots in the field of vision have been completely blocked.

At that moment, the other twenty players on the field seemed to have become mere supporting characters.

Motta demonstrated to everyone why Rijkaard favored him so much.

Because he not only has enviable talent in attack, but he can also defend against "Golden Ball" level Lu Kai one-on-one!

That's right, the only time Barcelona acknowledged Lu Kai's level was when they defeated him.

boom!
Lu Kai unleashed a powerful shot with his right foot, but Motta turned and fell to the ground to block it with his left leg.

However, Lu Kai dribbled past his opponent and then shot.

They also anticipated Motta's potential advanced maneuvers and tried their best to prevent Motta from interfering with their shot.

So what blocked Lu Kai's shot wasn't Motta's leg, but the instep of his foot!

To be precise, the football was trapped between the insteps of the feet.

Click!
Everything happened too fast.

Mota suddenly spun horizontally on the ground, rotating forty-five degrees.

Similarly, Lu Kai also fell forward to the ground.

The football rolled to the side and towards the goal line.

But the next moment, Lu Kai scrambled to his feet, caught up with the ball, and unleashed another powerful shot with his right foot before it went out of bounds.

He then fell to the ground.

Near the right side of the penalty area, he caught up with the ball and fired a shot from a tight angle with his right foot.

This is a shot with a zero chance of scoring.

but……

The football traced a bizarre arc.

Valdes thought Lu Kai was going to cross the ball, so he stood inside the goal to defend against a close-range shot.

The other players thought so too.

This resulted in the football sliding past the goal without anyone intervening in time.

when!
The football hit the far post and bounced into the net.

The entire goal was shaking.

That was a powerful shot!
This is 【Bati GOAL】!
And it's... two consecutive [Barty GOAL] moments!
After falling to the ground, Lu Kai clutched his right foot, his face contorted in pain.

pain!
It really hurts!

He immediately gestured for a stretcher.

Alfred on the sidelines was completely disoriented: "Team doctor! Get on the field right now! Hurry! Something's happened!"

Ten Hach had never seen Alfred so crazy, so domineering, and so quick-witted.

Even the linesman was intimidated by Alfred's aura and immediately called the team doctor onto the field.

The Green Gun team's medics rushed towards Lu Kai like they were in a 100-meter dash.

However, when they arrived, Lu Kai, his face contorted in pain, pointed to Mota lying in the penalty area: "It's him, he's badly injured... fractured, be careful."

Lu Kai managed to twist his ankle slightly amidst the painful rolling, confirming that he was alright.

He felt like he had kicked a wall; it hurt a lot.

But he was not injured.

Because he has the special effect of being the "Father of Beast Waists, Master Essien".

After bleeding, the "Wounded Beast" ability is triggered, greatly increasing the beast's combat capabilities and making it feel invincible!
He clearly felt a cracking sound at that moment.

If it wasn't him, then it must have been Mota.

The next moment, Mota, who had fallen to the ground without making a sound, finally let out a shrill wail after seeing his twisted left foot.

He didn't feel any pain, but the scene before him was more heartbreaking than any physical pain.

He understands what this means.

Oh my god!

"Motta's left foot...it's a serious fracture!"

"Datford's team doctors looked horrified... They quickly lifted Motta onto a stretcher, and Barcelona's team doctors also came and lent a hand..."

The Green Penguin Stadium is one of the most advanced stadiums, equipped with several high-definition stadium screens, which are currently replaying the footage of Motta and Lu Kai's duel.

After Motta made the tackle, he lost the ability to stop Lu Kai.

However, when he landed on his left foot and forced a shift in his center of gravity, he strained his thigh muscle.

When he turned and extended his leg to block, his leg was very taut due to his personal defensive skills, making him less likely to get injured.

However, Lu Kai also possesses exceptional shooting skills; when unleashing a powerful shot, his leg remains taut. This is not only for the sake of accuracy, speed, and power, but also for his own safety.

When two strong teams meet, it's like they're facing each other head-on; a defeat is inevitable.

This is inevitable.

This time, either Lu Kai or Mota suffered a broken foot.

There is no third possibility.

Anyone who plays football knows that there's nothing you can do when this happens. Don't blame anyone; the best solution is to actively try to resolve the issue.

This time, when they met on a narrow path, Lu Kaisheng emerged victorious.

But Lu Kai had no intention of hurting anyone, and he estimated that Mota's injury this time was probably... more serious than Ashley Young's broken leg back then.

Because Ashley Young only broke his lower leg.

But Motta is probably the key part of the ankle.

Two to one.

The referee signaled that the goal was valid.

But neither side celebrated.

The scene was so horrific that even the fans fell silent.

The morale of both sides plummeted, especially the injured side, who, due to their emotional connection, were compelled to think about how Mota was doing.

I can't fully commit to the game.

Besides, they couldn't be angry with Lu Kai, as his immediate actions were already very humane.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. To criticize Lu Kai for this is either stupid or malicious.

In the 39th minute, Deco delivered a through ball.

Ronaldinho's curling shot from the left edge of the penalty area was saved, posing little threat.

In the 44th minute, Dartford showed their professionalism.

Toure and Barcelona players battled for the ball in the middle.

Edmilson, who came on as a substitute, and Xavi repeatedly harassed him, with Xavi committing a pulling foul.

The referee blew the whistle.

Harvey and Edmilson instinctively turned and walked back to their own half of the field.

It's not running, it's walking.

They didn't pay any attention to Toure either.

His attention was noticeably unfocused, and he lost his vigilance after committing fouls.

Toure delivered a quick lobbed pass, prompting a free kick.

Lu Kai suddenly accelerated on the right side and cut inside without the ball.

By the time Puyol realized this, Lu Kai had already fully accelerated.

Puyol turned and sped off to catch up with Lu Kai.

But Lu Kai still had a two-body-length lead.

When Lu Kai controlled the ball, Puyol seized the opportunity to close the gap and even tried to put pressure on Lu Kai.

You don't know until you try it, and you'll be shocked when you do.

Lu Kai is as strong as an ox!

Puyol didn't knock Lu Kai over; instead, he was thrown back. He was already moving at high speed, and suddenly he was thrown off balance.

Lu Kai dribbled into the penalty area and had a one-on-one opportunity.

Valdes launches an attack.

Lu Kai takes a low shot with his left foot.

Valdes touched the ball, but still couldn't stop its trajectory.

"GOAL!"

"3-1! Dartford scores."

"Lu Kai has scored twice."

"Instead of celebrating, he made the '03' gesture, which is Motta's jersey number."

"Silent applause erupted from the stands."

"The Catalan media has been attacking Lu Kai for a long time, but after the incident, Lu Kai's respect for the Barcelona players was touching."

"It has to be said, the difference in quality is immediately apparent!"

Ultimately, thanks to Lu Kai's outstanding performance, Dartford led 3-1 at halftime.

Lu Kai was surrounded by reporters as he entered the players' tunnel. In order for both teams to return smoothly, he had to stay and give a last-minute interview.

Reporter: "Lu, your performance after Motta's injury was very impressive. Can you tell us about it?"

Lu Kai: "It was a very unfortunate experience. When we were comparing legs, I heard a cracking sound. I thought it was me because my right foot was very painful."

"But at that moment, all I could think about was scoring a goal. As long as I could still run, I had to score that goal first."

"When I got to the bottom, I touched my ankle bone with my hand and it wasn't dislocated, so I realized that it was probably Motta who had the fracture."

Reporter: "Having Dartford's team doctor provide temporary treatment for Motta could potentially incur liability, so conventionally, player injuries are usually handled by the team's own doctors..."

Lu Kai interrupted, saying, "I believe that the player's life and health are above all responsibility. If we can treat Motta as soon as possible and reduce the impact of his injury, even if it's just for a second, it's worth the Green Gunners taking this risk."

Finally, Lu Kai expressed his best wishes to Mota.

The reporters wanted to continue the interview, but Alfred stopped them: "Excuse me, everyone, Lu Kai is also injured. We need to go back to the locker room to help him."

“I know Lu Kai. In a one-on-one situation without a pursuer, he usually uses the pendulum dribble to get past the onrushing goalkeeper in order to secure a goal.”

"But this time he didn't use a pendulum, or even his more dominant right foot, but instead used his left foot to shoot low. The ball was almost saved."

“Lu Kai will not squander any opportunity unless absolutely necessary.”

The reporters then realized what was going on.

No wonder Lu Kai seemed to disappear after Motta's goal; apart from that counter-attack at the end of the first half, he didn't seem to participate much in the game.

Everyone thought that Lu Kai, as one of the participants in this incident, had mental problems, but it turns out he was also injured.

now it's right.

Given how badly Mota was injured, it's normal for Lu Kai to have some injuries as well.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides switched sides and resumed play.

Lu Kai was already sitting on the bench, ice-treating his right foot. It wasn't a serious injury, but it was still painful. Continuing to move around in the short term might worsen the minor injury, which would be counterproductive.

Ribery came on as a substitute.

In the subsequent match, both sides were not in good form.

The score remained unchanged.

Green Gunners won 3-1, securing their second consecutive Champions League victory.

After the match, Lu Kai gave another interview.

Because Motta's injury has been basically confirmed.

Reporter: "The First People's Hospital of London has already made a diagnosis: Motta suffered a fractured tibia in her left leg, a dislocated left ankle, a torn Achilles tendon, and other serious injuries."

"He will fly back to Spain tomorrow for surgery, ending his season."

"Do you have anything to say about this?"

Lu Kai: "It's a great pity that Mota suffered such a serious injury."

Reporter: "Is it just a casual regret and apology?"

Lu Kai took a look.

Depend on!
A reporter for Daily Sports.

No wonder you spoke so rudely.

The reporter clearly has a good understanding of Barcelona's internal dynamics: "Motta, as Rijkaard's designated midfield core and first defensive midfielder, shoulders the heavy responsibility of Barcelona's attack and defense."

"He had been suffering from injuries before, and he had finally recovered when you broke his leg. Was it intentional or accidental?"

"Are you worried that Barcelona's performance is too good, that Ronaldinho will overtake you in the Ballon d'Or? Or even that Motta's rise will steal your title as an all-around midfielder, so you deliberately played dirty?"

Lu Kai: "Everyone can see that this was an accident, and my apology is only directed at Mota. But I will not tolerate anyone else who tries to use this opportunity to smear me."

Reporter: "Haha! That's just nice talk. If you get rid of Motta, Barcelona won't be able to find a good midfielder for the next few years, so you can win when you face Barcelona, ​​just like in this game."

"Motta was also injured by your Green Gunners last season, can you say that was a coincidence?"

"An apology? What good is your apology to Motta? Can it save his career? After this season's injury, Motta's tactical core status at Barcelona will inevitably be revoked. Even if he recovers, he will only be a fringe player in the team. You're really talking without any sense of the pain!"

"You ruined his career, you sinner!"

Alfred wanted to get rid of this annoying Mundo Deportivo reporter.

But Lu Kai stopped Alfred and looked at the other reporters: "First of all, this was an accident, it was unfortunate, but no one was at fault in the process."

"Neither did I, nor did Motta. We are both highly professional football players. We did what we were supposed to do, but no one expected the outcome."

"I will not accept the accusations made against me by Barcelona."

"But I will take full responsibility for Motta. If Barcelona doesn't want him, Dartford will."

"If he can't get playing time in La Liga, then he can come and play in the Premier League here."

"If Barcelona wants to cut his salary, then we will pay him the same salary he receives at Barcelona. In short, nothing will be worse than what he received at Barcelona!"

"Even if Motta retires and wants to work for Green Guns, we are willing to offer him a high-quality job."

"We are different from Barcelona. We are a people-oriented club, and we are willing to support every player!"

"Every single one!"

Upon hearing this, people immediately recalled the promotional video for "Green Gun".

I thought of Morgan and others.

Green Guns' commitment to supporting its players is not just empty talk, but a concrete action.

Just because of a normal on-field encounter, Green Gunners were willing to take responsibility for Motta for life. This is a level of civility that Barcelona can never reach!

No wonder the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona has been under construction for over a hundred years and is still not finished; it turns out that the level of spiritual civilization development is insufficient.

If you put it in Dartford, it will be topped out in three years and completed in five years.

Wow!
Led by Emily, the other reporters at the scene spontaneously applauded.
