Essien was gasping for air, he knew why he was so weak, but he didn't dare to say.

He grew up in a fatherless family, and the family had to rely on his mother's hard work to run a bakery to support their siblings, but even so, one of his older brothers died because of it, which scared Essien.

He didn't want to go back to the dirty streets of Ghana, he didn't want his mother to work hard, he didn't want his siblings to do those very physically demanding jobs, so he always played very hard, he wanted to get ahead.

At the freelance club, the team has hardly taken care of children like them, and even though Essien is considered one of the most talented young players in Ghana, the club is still laissez-faire, because even the club management is a problem, who can care about the children who can't play for a while?

Just when Ai was struggling and didn't know where to go, Xiao Yu appeared in his life, like an angel with a halo, helping his mother find a job and giving him a very good salary, so that he could concentrate on playing football in the club, while also helping to take care of his siblings.

This made Essien very grateful, but at the same time he was also afraid, because he knew very well that all this was because New Manchester United saw his potential to play, if he couldn't play, would Xiao Yu and New Manchester United still be so good to him and his family?

Essien didn't dare to ask it, he didn't dare to mention it to anyone, he just guessed in his heart.

But it is precisely because of this that he is very desperate in every game, doing his best to play, even now, when he has felt exhausted, he still gritted his teeth, took steps, and rushed towards the big black man of Arsenal.

Vieira obviously didn't expect Essien to be able to sprint when he was already seeing his physical strength was exhausted, and when the ball accidentally went wide, Essien flashed past Vieira and took the ball at his feet at the same time.

But just as Essien turned around, ready to look for his teammates, he felt his body become light, he felt that everyone he saw seemed to be crooked, and then he only felt his body hit something hard, and his head smashed into the grass, and as soon as it was dark in front of him, the person passed out.

…………

………

'Oh my God, we saw that Petit tackled the new Manchester United's No.23 Ghanaian youngster Essien to the ground, and it was definitely a very bad foul and we could see that he was almost aiming at Essien's body. Andy Gray exclaimed.

Essien fell to the ground, which immediately frightened the players on both sides of the game, especially Petit, he was even stunned, he thought that Essien would dodge, but who knows, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of dodging at all, and ate him hard.

"You bastard!" Juninho Jr. was the first to react, and immediately rushed up, pushing Petit, who was about to get close to Essien, to the ground, and Paulson, who was following him, also wanted to rush over and beat him.

But the Arsenal players also ran up, and the closest men, such as Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry, were tightly in front of Petit, and although they were all terrified, they instinctively wanted to protect their team-mates.

"What's going on? Essien fell to the ground, did something happen? Andy Gray was still surprised.

"We can see that the new Manchester United team doctor on the sidelines has run into the stadium, they are doing a check-up for Essien, all the new Manchester United players have come up, one by one angrily glaring at the main culprit Petit, obviously his malicious foul this time caused this situation, the referee is standing in the middle of the players on both sides, constantly signaling both sides to calm down!"

"The new Manchester United doctor made a gesture that he had to make a substitution, put Essien on a stretcher and sent him off the pitch, it seems that he will not be able to continue playing!"

"Bruce waved to the bench from the sidelines and Stephen Smith rushed to warm up, apparently trying to replace Essien with Smith."

"The referee called Petit over, reached into his chest and pulled out a yellow card, then pulled out a red card, and sent Petit off the pitch, which was obviously a punishment for his foul on a malicious tackle, but the new United players were clearly still very unhappy."

"You know what? Martin, it reminds me of Bruce being sent off last season when the new Manchester United visited Highbury Stadium, which is why I think Arsenal and the new Manchester United will eventually become mortal rivals, because both teams have red cards and both have been in a mess in the only two games! ”

Martin Taylor smiled, "But it's part of football, isn't it?" ”

"That's true, but I think Petit was clearly aimed at someone with that tackle, and the quality is so bad that I even suspect that the FA will probably impose an additional penalty after this game."

'The penalty is for sure, I'm hoping now that Essien isn't seriously injured and that the new United players should calm down as soon as possible, because there is still half an hour left in the game.

Andy Gray added: "It reminds me of the last 20 minutes of the FA Cup game at Highbury Stadium last season, when after Bruce was sent off, the new Manchester United, who were at a disadvantage, chased Arsenal and chased them hard, and Arsenal seemed to be completely stunned, and they didn't even have the ability to counter-attack." ”

"I wonder if this game will be like this?"

…………

…………

Xiao Yu, who was in the stands, couldn't see the team doctor sending Esin away from the passage, and immediately stood up.

"You guys keep watching the game, I'll take a look!" After speaking, Xiao Yu left in a hurry.

When he came to the players' tunnel, Xiao Yu heard that the team doctor was going to send Essien to the Royal Hospital, and immediately ran to the parking lot.

"Anthony, how's it going?" Xiao Yu ran over panting and asked with concern.

Anthony, the team doctor, looked at Essien, who was still unconscious, and shook his head, "We were about to be sent to the hospital for further examination, and preliminarily, Essien's right thigh was kicked and his flesh was slightly bruised, but it shouldn't be very important, but his head hit the ground in the process of flying to the ground, so we have to conduct a comprehensive detailed examination." ”

"Then I'll go with you!" After speaking, Xiao Yu got into the ambulance.

Ten minutes later, the ambulance drove into the Royal Hospital, and the hospital, which had already been notified, was already prepared and immediately sent Essien directly to the examination team, and then not long after, Fryer and Derek, who had come from the Newton Heath training base, also joined the inspection team.

Xiao Yu stood outside the corridor, pacing back and forth alone.

Essien is a player he likes so much that he even thinks that with his excellent performances this year, the club must give him a pay rise and offer him better conditions to do everything they can to keep him at the new United and avoid being taken away by other teams.

But who would have thought that such a thing would happen to him, that damn Petit, as long as he thought about it, Xiao Yu would hate to rush up and beat him, or even kill him!

Inspections take time, and this waiting time is undoubtedly very difficult.

Xiao Yu walked to an office on the same floor, where doctors and nurses were watching the game around the TV, which was the match between the new Manchester United and Arsenal.

"Hey, man, what's the score?" Xiao Yu walked over and asked.

“1：0！” A man in a doctor's lab coat turned around and threw down a sentence, then turned his head away and continued to watch the ball.

As soon as Xiao Yu heard this score, he immediately felt a little disappointed, he thought that New Manchester United had lost, but when he got closer, he immediately saw that the live broadcast on the TV screen was marked that New Manchester United was 1 goal ahead of Arsenal.

"New Manchester United won?" Xiao Yu shouted.

"Of course!" It's still the white coat doctor, "Arsenal's offensive strength is really strong, but the new Manchester United's defense is also solid, although Essien is gone, but the players on the field are very desperate, not only filling the gap in Essien, but also blocking Arsenal's offensive!" ”

"And who scored the goal?" Xiao Yu leaned over and found that there was only the score, and the scorer was not identified.

"Olich, this Croatian is really fast, Adams's old guys can't stop him at all, follow the wind." Doctor Bai Coat said with a smile.

"A goal from the counter-attack?" Xiao Yu also laughed.

'Of course, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor both said it was one of the tactics that the new United had already laid out, with Ashley Cole suddenly too far up front, and Hleb barely had any attacking intention in the first 80 minutes of the game, which also kept Arsenal unnoticed, but after a Junior Juninho broke the ball, Hleb ran into the Arsenal half with the ball.

Speaking of that attack, Dr. Bai Coat also looked amazed.

"It was one of the few times the new United entered the Arsenal penalty area in this game, but who would have thought that Hleb would cleverly assist Olic to score the only goal of the game."

The time shown on the live screen is 89 minutes, with 3 minutes of stoppage time, but it seems that Arsenal's players have lost their attacking **, physical weakness is a reason, Petit is also a reason, but more importantly, the new Manchester United defense is solid.

The new Manchester United were only satisfied with a 1-0 scoreline, so they had no intention of attacking, and the rest of the time became listless garbage time for both sides.

Seeing this kind of scene, Xiao Yu knew that the new Manchester United had won the game, but this victory was obviously not happy, because Essien was still lying in a coma in the hospital for examination, and he didn't know what happened to him.

That is, when Xiao Yu walked out of the doctor's office with a headache, Derek hurriedly walked over from the corridor, obviously the final result of the examination had been obtained!
