In the Liverpool hospital, Qin Xiong lay on the hospital bed with his left foot in a cast. Sylvia accompanied him with the children.
Compared with Sylvia's excessive worry, Qin Xiong was in a good mood. Injuries were common. This time, the injury on his left foot caused a subluxation of the ankle joint and had to be fixed with a cast.
He lay down and watched TV, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
"After the game between Chelsea and Liverpool, some fans of the two teams confronted each other outside Stamford Bridge. The London police dispatched a lot of police to control the situation …"
Originally, the Liverpool fans were able to leave Stamford Bridge with a proud mentality, leaving the Chelsea fans to envy and hate. However, perhaps because of Qin Xiong's injury, some Liverpool fans lost their calm and almost broke out into a conflict with the Chelsea fans.
"After defeating Chelsea, Liverpool has won eight consecutive league games, leaving Manchester United behind by five points and leaving Chelsea and Arsenal behind by six points. Of course, Liverpool is now the hot favorite to win the title. If it weren't for Qin Xiong's injury, which would cause him to leave the field for a period of time in the future, I can now say with certainty that Liverpool will win the league title. However, Qin Xiong is injured. I don't know how big of a blow this will be to Liverpool. He is a player who can change the situation of the competition for the title. I'm very happy that Liverpool has him …"
The guest on the game commentary program was the Liverpool legend, Alan Hansen.
The Class 92 that had once mocked Ferguson, the big mouth that had arbitrarily predicted that Ferguson would not be able to obtain anything by relying on a group of children. In the end, he had brought disgrace upon himself, but he still had the right to express his views.
Qin Xiong turned off the TV. At this time, Comain pushed the door open and came in. He walked to the bedside and greeted Sylvia. After that, he said to Qin Xiong, "The doctor said that your cast will take four to six weeks to remove, and then you will have to undergo recovery training. You may be away from the field for more than two months."
Qin Xiong said lightly, "Although I respect the doctor, I never believe in the recovery period that the doctor set for me. I have always recovered in advance, and this time is no exception. It will never take as long as two months."
Hearing Qin Xiong's confident words, Comain was really happy for Qin Xiong from the bottom of his heart. This man with strong willpower and toughness to the bone did have the capital to be admired.
He was also very proud that the young man who came out of Ajax was able to reach the height that he had today. Step by step, he was molded into an athlete who was like a steel warrior.
Comain nodded and said, "Well, I hope you can recover soon. The good news is that it is time for the FIFA games. You won't miss too many games."
There was a slight change in Qin Xiong's eyes and he asked Comain, "Is that so? But maybe I will miss the game that I am looking forward to. "
Comain smiled and said, "There will be plenty of time in the future. There will be plenty of top games that you are looking forward to."
Qin Xiong chuckled and said, "That's true."
In any case, even if Qin Xiong sped up his comeback, he would not be able to make it in time for the English derby at the end of October.
The Double Red Club of the Red Devils and the Red Army.
.....
The FIFA games in October arrived and Qin Xiong was resting at home.
More than two months had passed since the Liverpool club changed ownership in July. The club's new activities were officially launched.
The first was the cooperation between the youth training system and China's football scene. 30 young football players between the ages of 12 and 16 were selected from China to come to the Liverpool Youth Training Base for training activities. Qin Xiong attended the opening ceremony of the activities with crutches. The photo of him being surrounded by China's young football players quickly spread throughout China and became one of the photos that many young football fans crazily collected.
Qin Xiong was happy about this. In any case, Liverpool's cooperation with China's football and enhanced communication, even if the contribution to the development of China's football was minimal, at least someone was doing it.
Blessings did not come in pairs and misfortune did not come alone.
At the end of the FIFA games, Comain's head was about to explode.
Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel, and Aurelio were also lying in the hospital bed to keep Qin Xiong company.
Compared to the Echo's worry that Liverpool would also suffer from "Qin Xiong Syndrome," Liverpool's biggest problem now was the lack of players for the red back.
The ninth round of the Premier League arrived as scheduled. Comain took an incomplete squad to the Stadium of Light to challenge the black cats, Sunderland. Sunderland, who forced a draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford in the last round, caused Liverpool to suffer their first defeat of the new season!
1:0
Liverpool might indeed suffer from "Qin Xiong Syndrome." Their offense in the game was not chaotic, but it always made the players feel awkward and uncomfortable. They always felt that the rhythm of the game seemed to be wrong.
After the game, whether it was Gerard, Torres, or even Comain, they all frankly admitted that Qin Xiong's absence had a great impact on the team's offense.
As for the lack of players in the rear defensive line, resulting in a drop in the defensive quality, Comain helplessly said, "Every team will encounter difficulties at different times in the season. I think the time to test Liverpool has really come. Now we need to be more united to overcome the difficulties."
In the same round of the game, Chelsea was astonishingly defeated by Aston Villa 2: 1 in the away game. They suffered two consecutive league defeats and their points difference with Liverpool was still six points.
The Red Devils, Manchester United, defeated Bolton Wanderers 2: 1 at Old Trafford. The gap with Liverpool was reduced from five points to two points.
Arsenal defeated Birmingham City 3: 1 at the Emirates Stadium and also completed the chase for Liverpool's points. The gap was reduced from six points to three points.
After the league defeat, Liverpool moved on to the Champions League. Qin Xiong appeared in the stands of the Anfield box. He witnessed the game between Liverpool and Lyon.
Comain was a little conservative in the Champions League because of the double red in the English derby this weekend. Lyon, on the other hand, had no competitive pressure in the domestic arena. They were fully invested in the Champions League and stirred up trouble in Anfield.
1:2
When the 90-minute game was over, Anfield was dead silent.
No Red Army fans believed the score numbers on the scoreboard.
Liverpool lost at home!
After a 10-game winning streak in the new season's league and Champions League, the momentum of the prairie fire was suddenly extinguished.
Two consecutive defeats in the league and Champions League within four days!
The pressure on Comain's shoulders naturally began to increase.
In another game in the same group, Fiorentina defeated Di Bissegni 4: 3 in a thrilling away game to get their first win in the Champions League group stage.
After three rounds, the Group E standings changed.
Lyon won three out of three games, 9 points.
Liverpool won two out of three games, 1 loss, 6 points.
Fiorentina won one out of three games, 2 losses, 3 points.
Di Bissegni lost three out of three games, 0 points.
Given that Di Bissegni would visit Stadio Franchi to face Fiorentina's devastation in the fourth round, it was foreseeable that Fiorentina would have 6 points after the fourth round.
Liverpool would be the guest to challenge Lyon in the next round. If they lost that game, the battle for the two places in the top three in the group would become suspenseful.
