Qin Xiong displayed a state of fury that shocked everyone, including his friends who were familiar with him!
He was sober.
And because he was sober, he was burning with anger.
He was a man who pinned his fate on football. Other than being good at football, he was no better than 90% of the fans in the stands, even if some of the fans were just repairmen, decorators, or waiters in the restaurant.
Football changed his fate. He became rich and happy.
Even though he firmly believed that Sylvia, who loved him deeply, would not abandon him when he was at the end of his road, as a man, he was aware that he had to shoulder his own fate and do his best to give his lover the best of everything.
If he broke his leg or was seriously injured, and his physical condition made it impossible for him to fly on the field, then he would not know how to face his future life.
If he did not have it, he would not know how to cherish it.
But Qin Xiong had it, and he was afraid of losing it!
He did not care what Keane's motive was for doing such an obviously malicious act. He just could not accept it, could not tolerate it, and could not retreat!
Afraid?
Yes, he was afraid. He was afraid of breaking his leg, afraid of losing football, afraid of losing control of his fate in the future!
But he was absolutely not afraid of Keane!
And of all the people who might try to harm him in the future!
There was chaos on the sidelines of Highbury Stadium. Arsenal and Manchester United players were confronting each other. Keane and Qin Xiong were pulled away by four or five people around them at almost the same time, keeping them far away from each other.
All the fans in the stands were stunned at first.
It had always been Keane who bullied others. In the confrontation with Arsenal, only Vieira was at the level to go toe-to-toe with Keane.
The scene of Qin Xiong pressing Keane's head on the turf just now shocked everyone. It was like a lion stepping on another lion under its feet, ruthlessly crushing it!
Loud boos and condemnation rang out in the stadium. The Arsenal fans in the stands stood up agitatedly, as if they would rush into the stadium at any time to cause a big riot. The stadium security personnel immediately went out to maintain order in the stands, but the vulgar shouting and condemnation of Manchester United did not stop.
This was Highbury!
No Gunners fans would tolerate that kind of behavior by a Manchester United player.
Of course, they would stand on Qin Xiong's side.
"If it was Vieira and Keane who had such a fierce conflict, we would not be surprised. But what we did not expect was that Qin Xiong did not hesitate to settle the score with the Manchester United captain after being violated! He had reason to be angry. The slow-motion replay had already exposed the nature of Keane's foul. It was definitely a malicious move. He did not rush for the ball at all. Perhaps Keane just did not want Qin Xiong to directly charge into the right side of Manchester United's penalty area. That area was very empty. If Qin Xiong went there, who knew if Manchester United would be killed! Qin Xiong's left leg was still bleeding. His agitation seemed to have calmed down. Keane also calmed down after being comforted by his old teammates Scholes and Ryan Giggs. However, he chattered incessantly and pointed in the direction of Qin Xiong from time to time. And Qin Xiong seemed to be staring coldly at Keane through the crowd. The situation seemed to be under control. Wait, wait a minute! Wenger and Sir Ferguson have made a move! Oh my God! This game is not only a goal battle, it's also an extremely fiery battle! Wenger seems to be accusing Sir Ferguson of condoning the players to use such despicable means to violate his disciple. Ferguson and Wenger broke out in a quarrel, and then the two men shoved each other. But they were quickly separated by their respective teams' assistant managers and the fourth official! "
When the situation was under control, the referee first verbally mediated with the two managers. He really did not dare to send off the two managers at once. He could only give a verbal warning.
But he would not be merciful to the players.
He trotted in front of Keane. Ferdinand and Rooney complained to the referee on the side, pointing at Qin Xiong as if they wanted to push the blame for the outbreak of the conflict onto Qin Xiong.
But the referee ignored them. He took out a red card from his pocket and showed it to Keane!
Keane cursed a few times and then stepped toward the players' tunnel. The stadium security personnel, the stadium administrator, and the referees' team members, a total of four people, escorted Keane off the field on both sides. Before walking into the players' tunnel, Keane passed by Qin Xiong. Naturally, there were security personnel between them to prevent the two men from clashing again.
The two men's eyes were always locked, tit for tat, and did not show any signs of weakness.
The referee took out the red card but did not put it back. He trotted in front of Qin Xiong. On the way, Ashley Cole and Vieira were also pleading with the referee and also pushing the blame to Manchester United.
They believed that if it were not for Keane's malicious injury, what happened next would not have happened, and the source was Keane.
But the referee still ignored them. He trotted in front of Qin Xiong, raised the red card in his hand, and then pointed to the players' tunnel, indicating that Qin Xiong should leave the field.
This was the first red card in Qin Xiong's career, but he did not have the slightest regret.
Whether the style of playing was graceful had nothing to do with whether the character was tough or not.
Even the great artist Zidane would sometimes explode. Qin Xiong had never been a soft persimmon.
Sometimes, even if he had to pay a price for his resistance, the meaning of defending was far greater than during a match. Qin Xiong would resolutely resist!
When Qin Xiong walked into the players' tunnel, he almost clashed with Keane again. It was Keane who deliberately stopped in the tunnel to wait for Qin Xiong. As he expected, Qin Xiong was also sent off.
But when Qin Xiong saw that Keane was waiting for him, he took the lead and rushed toward Keane. He raised his leg and was about to kick Keane's body. The reason he did not kick was because he was held back by the people beside him. Keane was also desperately dragged away by the staff.
Their arrogant shouts reverberated in the Highbury tunnel for a long time.
Not long after Qin Xiong returned to the locker room, the team doctor was treating the wound on his left leg. His teammates had all returned. Qin Xiong sat in front of the wardrobe without saying a word. Every teammate who passed by would pat him on the shoulder, and some even gave him a thumbs up.
It was not that there were no players who dared to challenge Keane, but there were not many who dared to be so crazy as Qin Xiong and not lose to Keane in terms of momentum.
Arsenal drew with Manchester United at home.
After the game, Wenger attacked Keane's malicious actions. When talking about the loss of the game, he admitted that the absence of the three main players had a huge impact. Arsenal should have easily defeated Manchester United, but the team was seriously troubled by injuries, especially when the three main players missing were defensive players. This made Arsenal's situation even more passive.
Fortunately, there were not many problems in the offense. Arsenal's outstanding offense forced a draw with Manchester United despite being at a disadvantage.
The only bad news was that Qin Xiong would be suspended. As for whether he would be suspended for a few more games, that would depend on what the Football Association said after the game.
Another bad news was that Chelsea's lead over Arsenal had increased from two points to four!
