No one from Arsenal would accuse Qin Xiong of hitting the plane with a volley shot. But when Qin Xiong fell to the ground and gestured to Henry to come and help him, all the Arsenal players were stunned!
Wenger felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes were filled with concern as he looked at where Qin Xiong was.
Even if Qin Xiong could not run, he did not think of replacing Qin Xiong, because maybe Qin Xiong could pass the ball on the spot and turn it into a goal for Arsenal!
Even if Mourinho would not curse Qin Xiong in his heart, it would be best if he was seriously injured and fell to the ground!
But at the moment, he still hoped that Qin Xiong could not persist in the game. Looking at all the players in Arsenal's squad, no one could compare to Qin Xiong in terms of creativity!
In the two games, Qin Xiong directly participated in all of Arsenal's goals. Five!
Four direct assists and an individual goal!
With such a huge threat on the field, Mourinho would definitely feel uneasy.
He also watched Qin Xiong nervously.
Henry came to Qin Xiong's side and knelt down on one knee to ask about his condition. Qin Xiong's face was covered with sweat. It was not known whether it was sweat from physical exhaustion or cold sweat from the pain. He told Henry about his condition.
Henry did not dare to lift Qin Xiong's leg to help relieve his calf cramp. He could only let Qin Xiong's right leg lie flat on the turf. Then he pressed down on the sole of Qin Xiong's foot to straighten his foot to relieve the cramp.
When the team doctor rushed to Qin Xiong's side and checked the condition of Qin Xiong's right leg, the team doctor made a gesture in the direction of Wenger on the sidelines.
Substitute!
Wenger held his forehead with his right hand, then slapped his thigh and immediately walked to Fàbregas's side.
Mourinho exhaled heavily.
He did not know why, but at this moment, he had an inexplicable sense of relief.
It was probably because Qin Xiong's threat was too great. God knows what this player, who came from the distant East to the West like a rising comet, would do!
"Oh no, Arsenal's midfield core, Qin Xiong, has been substituted off due to an injury. We all know about his contribution to Arsenal in recent competitions. He has used up too much of his stamina. Overexerting his body will increase the probability of injuries. There is no doubt about that. Look at our God's favored son, Owen. He is still so young, but he has started to get injured frequently. This is the price Liverpool paid for overexerting his body when they used Owen! Qin Xiong stood up. He did not stand firm and almost fell and almost fell. Fortunately, the team doctor to help him. He gently pushed the team doctor and looked like he was limping to the sidelines...
Qin Xiong walked to the sidelines with a calm expression. The team doctor knew that Qin Xiong was a strong-willed person. As long as he could walk alone, he would not need anyone to help him. So, he just followed Qin Xiong's pace on both sides. Once Qin Xiong showed signs of stumbling, they would lend a helping hand.
Qin Xiong had a huge sense of loss and regret in his heart. He did not know how many fans who liked him would be distressed by this scene. Even the overly emotional fans would be a little heartbroken.
As he walked step by step to the sidelines, there was a huge applause from the stands where the Stamford Bridge away team fans were. Every Arsenal fan applauded him with reverence.
They would not ask for too much, and Qin Xiong's figure looked so strong that he would definitely not be reduced to the point where he should be pitied or pitied.
Fàbregas, who was on the sidelines with his head held high and chest out to replace him, had been staring at Qin Xiong with reverence in his eyes!
Yes, reverence!
How many people in the Grassi world admired Maradona? Pele? Maldini? Ronaldo? Zidane? …
Those superstars who stood at the top now or in the past were naturally successful, and their success was enviable.
But in a sense, that was also a little far away.
Just like everyone knew that Bill Gates built the Microsoft empire and knew the spiritual significance of the Rockefeller family in the United States.
But so what? It seemed to be a typical example of lofty talk, which was far above life and dissociated from reality.
The environment around everyone was the most contagious and had the deepest impact!
In Fàbregas's eyes, whether it was Zidane or Ronaldo, they were great, but they were not real. What he could see and felt the most deeply were his teammates around him!
Especially his teammates of a similar age.
Qin Xiong never squandered his talent. He used his sweat to realize his football dream, and the tenacity he showed was also the foundation of his success!
More than half a year ago, Fleet Street was still laughing at him.
But now, listening to the long-lasting applause from the visiting fans at the stadium, it represented Qin Xiong's success.
He was more famous and stronger than when he was at Ajax, and he really wrote his own Tree Shade dream in the top game.
Fàbregas admired Qin Xiong from the bottom of his heart, especially after witnessing Qin Xiong's great contribution to the team from the bench.
He was indeed the role model that Wenger said the young players should learn from. It was not a shame, but it was the right thing to do!
When Qin Xiong walked up to Fàbregas, he gently hugged Fàbregas. Fàbregas whispered a few comforting words in his ear. Qin Xiong nodded slightly and walked out of the field.
Fàbregas ran into the field with a firm look in his eyes. The position he took over was vacated by Qin Xiong. Although he did not dare to say that he would perform better than Qin Xiong, he also had a strong will to defend the team and help the team win when the team's battle with Chelsea reached this stage!
Qin Xiong sat on the bench and took a bottle of water from the assistant manager to drink. The team doctor began to treat his right leg.
Although Wenger was concerned about Qin Xiong's injury, he was not sure whether Qin Xiong would be out for a long time in the future. He needed to focus on the game at the moment.
Wenger could certainly see Chelsea's wishful thinking. If Arsenal's physical condition was good and his condition was excellent, then Wenger would stubbornly let the team attack!
But in the current situation, if he did that again, he would certainly walk into a trap. He knew that the other side had dug a hole for him to jump in, but he still thought he was brave enough to jump in. That was not bravery, that was stupidity.
After Fàbregas came on, Arsenal's formation also began to shrink, not giving Chelsea a chance to fight back.
What exactly did they rely on to win?
Everyone fought back.
Arsenal's position could not afford a battle of attrition, so they could only shrink back to play defense.
Chelsea, on the other hand, knew that once Arsenal scored a goal, they were almost done for!
Arsenal had one more away goal than them. If they wanted to reverse the situation, they had to score one more goal, which was two goals!
Therefore, in the last few minutes of the regular 90 minutes, the game was a peaceful and lukewarm situation. Finally, after the injury stoppage time, the two teams would start overtime!
Qin Xiong sat on the substitutes' bench with an ice pack fixed to his right thigh. It was only when he sat there that he felt a huge sense of depression. He could only watch his teammates sweat and give their all. Even if he had a clear conscience, there was nothing he could do to help. It was simply a kind of torture.
