Chapter 805: Major Injuries
The boos that continued to erupt at the Etihad Stadium one second because of Iroh wearing his crotch and playing De Jong came to an abrupt end in the next second, so the whistle blown by referee Wiley was particularly harsh.
The fans in the stands saw De Jong's foul very clearly, especially those close to the right side of Chelsea's attack, who saw De Jong's right spike sturdy at the inside ankle of Iroh's left foot.
Fans who like to watch the top league know that defensive midfielders are generally equipped with steel spikes in order to deter attacking players, and this flying shovel is directly chopped at the ankle, thinking about it will feel cold all over the body, and it is understandable that the voices of the fans in the stadium are gone.
At the same time, the narrator in the live studio also lost his voice, as if the scene in front of him was not reality, but ...... Hallucination.
Especially the commentators who support Iello and Chelsea, they are all gold medal commentators who have watched countless games, and they can see through ordinary fouls and malicious fouls on the court at a glance, while De Jong's fouls can be classified as malicious, and he did not close his feet while showing the spikes!
The coaches and players in the dugouts on both sides stopped moving, and their eyes stared at Iro, who was motionless on the grass.
Even the players on both sides on the field froze in place as if they had been clicked, and looked straight at it.
After two seconds, Chelsea's medical director, Palmer, who was on the sidelines, reacted quickly, taking the first aid kit next to him and yelling at the still stunned medical staff: "What are you waiting for? Come with me!! β
"Oh."
The medics followed Palmer's ass and rushed up like Hot Wheels.
It was only then that Modric, who was about to respond forward, reacted, ran forward two steps quickly, squatted down and looked at Iroh lying on his side on the grass in a shrimp shape, he covered his left ankle with both hands, his facial features were almost twisted together, and his expression looked very painful.
"Excuse me!" Palmel said something to Modric and then quickly leaned on the turf and asked Iroh: "Ai, where does it hurt?" β
But Iroh didn't reply, just gritted his teeth, and it seemed that it was very difficult to breathe.
Palmel hurriedly made a substitution gesture at Mourinho on the sidelines, and then took out a rudimentary oxygen mask from the first aid kit and put it directly on Iroh's mouth.
The on-site director pushed the camera to Iro's face, and the commentator Zhan Jun suddenly realized something, and exclaimed violently: "Oh my God, the Chelsea team doctor put an oxygen mask on Iro, how strict is this foul by Manchester City player De Jong?" β
Andy Gray was equally surprised: "Oh-My-Gad!! β
Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker's first reaction was to spit out an English national curse: "De Jong, this-raised guy!!" ShitοΌοΌοΌ β

The quiet scene became noisy again with the arrival of the Chelsea team doctor, and the unknown Manchester City fans continued to boo shrill for no reason, they did not think that De Jong had done anything wrong, and the defenders should be fierce with the attacking players, otherwise how would they deal with the next game?
So they think this is a sympathetic ploy by Iello to win the referee, and the ultimate goal is to get the referee to give De Jong a card.
But...... When the Manchester City fans in the stands saw that Iroh was wearing oxygen masks, they remembered the footage they had seen with their own eyes earlier......
Instinctively, both players moved closer to Elloh, but they were immediately ousted by Chelsea's medical staff.
De Jong patted his ass and walked behind his teammates like no one else, he knew how fierce he was for the foul just now, if the referee saw it clearly, it would definitely be a red card, and if it was not good, it would be an additional suspension, and it was the wisest choice to leave the place of the incident as soon as possible, and when the ball was restarted, the referee would naturally forget what he had just done......
His idea is good, but in reality it is difficult to implement.
Ballack, who came to the front from the back, saw Aelo's painful expression, and immediately looked for the perpetrator De Jong, but he just saw De Jong going to his own backfield, throwing a "bastard" and rushing over, he kicked De Jong's back without everyone reacting, and then kicked De Jong's left rib lying on the grass.
Just as he was about to make up for another kick, he was pushed out by the reacting Lescott.
The tall Didier Drogba took advantage of the situation to stop the angry Ballack, and Modric and Frank Lampard quickly pulled Balacra back.
Although the relationship between Manchester City's players off the field is not good, they are still quite united on the field, seeing that De Jong was beaten by Ballack, so he stepped forward to make trouble with Ballack, and Adebayor, who was very unhappy with being two goals behind at home, bypassed the Chelsea players and ran to Ballack, who wanted to ask for an explanation.
The calmer Chelsea players naturally didn't let Ballack suffer, keeping him firmly behind him, with the strong Branislav Ivanovic and John Terry pushing Adebayor away.
The Manchester City players will of course be upset to see Branislav Ivanovic and John Terry bullying Adebayo, with brothers Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure pushing aside the crowd to get the Chelsea players in trouble.
Seeing that the two sides were about to have a live fight, referee Willy's whistle sounded and he stood between Drogba and Lescott, who were about to fight.
The emotions between the players on both sides were very emotional, and the fast-moving Ashley Cole tried to trouble De Jong, but he was pushed back by his national team team-mate Bridge.
Suddenly, players from both sides of the pitch converged, and it looked like a further clash could erupt at any moment.
The first and second officials on the sidelines reacted fairly quickly, assisting referee Wiley to push away the excited pairs of players.
At this time, the stretcher has already come on the field, and the live director switches the camera back to Iro.
Although Iroh no longer needed oxygen to assist his breathing, his handsome face could be clearly distorted, and anyone who felt the slightest bit knew that he was suffering from great pain.
"...... Don't want it anymore, I ...... I said more, it looks ...... Ai is very seriously injured, he still needs oxygen to assist breathing just now, and now he is on a stretcher, if you want to know if he is okay, it is estimated that you will have to wait until the hospital makes a detailed ...... Check, only to ...... I knew. Clive Walker's staccato was heard in the homes of thousands of die-hard Chelsea fans.
All the Chinese fans thousands of miles away looked at the screen and were stunned, until Zhan Jun's voice came: "Judging from the way the team doctor handles it, Ailuo's injury will be very serious, and his facial expression is still very painful until now, and I don't know if it will affect the World Cup in South Africa in June next year......"

The conflict between the players between the two sides continued until Iroh was put in an ambulance and subsided with the intervention of several referees, and then it was naturally time to settle the score.
De Jong, the fouler, was not spared, with Willy being the first to show him a red card, followed by the beating Ballack.
But Ballack had already been mentally prepared, he expected the final result when he saw the referee give De Jong a red card, but he did not regret it, until the summer of 2006 he had been the second oldest until he joined Valencia for free, and Airo led the team all the way to win the Champions League.
He chose to join Chelsea before the summer transfer window closed in 2007, and he did not disappoint him, and went on to play a big game together, the first team to win the seven-time title, the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured......
Thinking of this, he turned around and roared loudly at De Jong, who was also walking to the sidelines: "You TM is raised by a!" Garbage, garbage! The scum on the football field!! β
Before De Jong could react, the Manchester City fans near the main stand couldn't stand it, and threw water bottles and hard objects in their hands at Ballack, but fortunately, the on-site personnel reacted quickly, pulled the canopy out of the shrinkage state, and pushed Ballack in.
Many of the players on the pitch who participated in the clashes also received a lot of yellow cards, and only a few players who were relatively calm were exempt from being sold.
It is worth mentioning that Lescott, who had already carried a yellow card before, was sent off for two yellows and one red, which means that Manchester City, who was playing at home, played 9 to 10
The managers of both sides were also sent off for a tear-and-press battle on the sidelines.
In the words of a neutral commentator: "A war caused by De Jong." β

In the end, Chelsea won 4-1 away at Manchester City, but all eyes were on it, they just wanted to know what happened to Elo's injury.
In the slow-motion replay at the time, many people gasped, and there was a noticeable deformation in the process of Arlo's left inner ankle being tackled by De Jong, and it was easy to see that this was not a minor injury.
Mourinho, who attended the press conference after the game, was very annoyed: "I really don't know what kind of team Manchester City is to bring in such a bad player!" I believe that every reporter here can see the actions of that garbage player, he is trying to kill someone!! β
The next day, the mainstream European media reported almost exclusively the news that Iroh had been tackled by De Jong.
At the same time, the FA held a press conference for the first time, announcing that De Jong's foul will be studied, and the specific ban will be announced in the coming days.
FIFA is also concerned about this, because the former FIFA president Seppat Blatter has publicly stated that he wants to protect technical players like Iello and Messi, otherwise it will be a loss for world football.
That afternoon, Iroh's injury was reported.
"According to Professor George, a sports injury doctor at Manchester Royal Hospital, Ai's injury is very serious, with a torn tibia of about 1.3 cm in his left foot, a partial tear in the knee ligament of his left foot, and a tear in the anterior tibial-fibular ligament, and a conservative rehabilitation period of about eight months after the operation, which means that he will definitely miss all the remaining games of the season and the World Cup in South Africa this summer......"
