Chapter 1951 No more suspense

"Oh God, God..."

When Ramirez broke into the penalty area, suddenly lost his balance, and finally stumbled and fell to the ground, the Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez in the commentary booth couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then he suddenly lost his voice.

The commentator Sanchez was silent as Ramirez fell to the ground and looked up at the football.

On the one hand, it was because he didn't know what to say in the face of this situation, and on the other hand, he was not in the mood to say anything.

Although the game was not over yet, Ramirez, who fell to the ground, seemed to arouse a reaction in his heart like a catastrophe. His inner world was filled with roar and smoke, which lasted for a long time.

Standing in this collapsing world, he only felt the chill spreading from head to toe.

The "champion's cornerstone" fell like this, which seemed to be a very dire omen for Sanchez.

The Spanish national team looked like they just missed a good chance to score.

But in Sanchez's view, it was the spiritual totem of the entire Spanish team that collapsed...

He couldn't speak and didn't know what to say.

Spanish fans in front of the TV need comfort?

He himself needs consolation too!

He was on the commentary seat like this, leaning down and looking down at the figure lying in the penalty area of ​​the Italian team.

That figure didn't get up, it didn't get up from the ground at the first time like before, and continued to fight.

Now, Juan Ramirez, the indefatigable fighter, fell to the ground and didn't get up.

Under everyone's gaze, he just turned over and hugged his right knee...

"Ramirez... hurt again, it seems to be his right knee..." the Italian commentator said, his tone was not very exciting.

Keili Borja, the head coach of the Spanish national team, was standing on the sidelines. Seeing this scene, he finally couldn't help but uttered a swear word.

It's no wonder he broke the defense.

It was fate that was cruel to him.

The score is behind, the main defensive midfielder and the spiritual leader of the team have relapsed from old injuries. I don't know if they can stick to the game...

As a head coach, Borja really can't think of what else he can do to bring this team out of the quagmire.

There was really... nothing he could do.

"Juan Ramirez should have a relapse. His right knee was injured in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Athletic Manchester this season. Because of this injury, he missed all the rest of the club. and not being able to make it to the first World Cup group game...but now it seems that his injury has far-reaching consequences than initially thought..."

In front of the TV, the England players watched Ramirez clenched his teeth in close-up, in pain, and no one said a word.

As a professional player, everyone feels too much about the injury.

No one gloats when someone else gets hurt.

After a while of silence, Pete Williams suddenly jumped off the bed: "Pack up your things and get ready to go."

William Sutton was a little surprised: "Don't watch it?"

"Well, I don't want to watch it. I don't want to watch it," Pete said.

Jay Adams agrees: "The game is over, Spain... are eliminated."

William Sutton turned his head to look at the TV screen, which showed the current game time.

The seventy-seventh minute of the game.

If Spain doesn't want to be eliminated, they have to score two goals in the remaining ten minutes to turn defeat into victory.

Otherwise, even if it is just a draw, they will be eliminated.

And can Spain score two goals in a row in the remaining time?

After watching the first seventy-seven minutes of the game, William Sutton found it difficult.

The team itself seems to have lost the confidence to turn defeat into victory.

So he also got up and packed his things.

And Jay Adams and Jimmy Stokes, who had already packed their things, continued to look at the TV screen, waiting for the two teammates to pack their things.

The game has not yet resumed.

The team doctor of the Spanish national team has appeared in the Italian penalty area and is examining Ramirez.

Ramirez shook his head, as if refusing something.

"No, I can still continue the game!"

Ramirez sat on the ground, shook his head and said to the Spanish national team doctor Ruben Fernandez who came up to check his injury.

"You can't continue the game, I suspect that your knee ligament is torn again, Juan!" Fernandez was equally determined.

"I can play closed..." Ramirez still insisted.

"It's not as simple as whether to play or not. Your ligaments may be torn. If you insist on playing, it may cause a major injury that will make you miss a whole year!" Fernandez pressed his hands Mires' shoulders seemed to be afraid that he would get up forcefully and continue to devote himself to the game.

"The game is not over yet, Ruven. We still have hope! I will continue to fight!" Ramirez was still not reconciled.

Ruben Fernandez shook his head at him: "Your battle is over, Juan. You did a good job, you can't do better..."

"But we haven't won yet..."

"This is not your task anymore, Juan." Ruben Fernandez said very resolutely. "Now you should rest and trust your teammates."

Ramirez opened his mouth, but finally said nothing more.

He just lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

"Borja replaced Ramirez, he couldn't hold on..."

"Spain is doomed..."

After hearing the news from the other side, although the game is not over yet, the coaches of the Chinese team feel that there is no suspense in this game.

The Spanish national team lost not only a main midfielder, but also lost their spiritual support.

Anyone who knows the Spanish team and knows Juan Ramirez knows what Ramirez means to the Spanish national team.

Even the commentator for the match between the Chinese team and Nigeria shifted the focus of their commentary work to another match at this time.

"Ramirez was replaced, Spain are one goal behind, they are in big trouble..."

"Although the game is not over yet, the defending champion is really likely to be eliminated in the group stage!"

"This is simply unbelievable. Before this World Cup, how many people could have imagined that Spain, the defending champion and host, would not even qualify for the group stage?"

The commentators from all over the world are feeling and marveling at the possible fate of the Spanish team.

On the Chinese Internet, Chinese fans were also shocked.

After all, it is unbelievable that the defending champion can't even make it to the knockout round...

For a while, no one even cared about the ongoing match between China and Nigeria.

There's really nothing to be concerned about.

After the Chinese team led Nigeria 3:1, they shrunk their defense and played a defensive counterattack.

Facing such a Chinese team, what Nigeria can do is actually very limited.

Their forwards are very fast, so they are better at playing defensive counterattacks. It is really difficult for them to play positional warfare.

The Nigerian team lacks an excellent midfielder, and the offensive organization is too simple and rude.

When encountering the defending Chinese team, they really don't have many options.

This is also their old problem. In the first group match, facing Italy, who defended very well, Nigeria dominated the ball possession rate, but failed to break through Italy's goal.

After Qin Qi experienced the initial adaptation and tempering, he also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game.

With the help of Wang Guangwei and other teammates, his performance is also remarkable and very stable.

Most importantly, so far, Jorge Dillon has not replaced Hou Lai.

Instead, he continued to keep him on the court, which constituted a strong deterrent to Nigeria's defense.

Looking at it this way, if Nigeria wants to score goals, they have to press across the board.

But pressing across the board will allow Hu Lai to seize the opportunity to score.

Nigeria is caught in a dilemma, and there is no better option.

The suspense of the outcome of this game is getting smaller and smaller, and the Chinese team is getting closer and closer to participating in the World Cup knockout match for the first time in their team history, only one step away.

In contrast, of course, the fate of the Spanish team is more concerned and embarrassing.

Mantorres Alvared sat in the stands with his fellow Pirates fans, staring blankly at the court.

A few minutes ago ~lightnovelpub.net~ Spanish national team captain Juan Ramirez had just been replaced.

After that, their group of Spanish fans fell silent.

Because they know it's over.

Although the game is still going on, any fool can see that the Spanish national team is weak.

It is difficult for them to break through the layers of defense built by Italy.

There is little chance of reversal.

If this score is maintained until the end, then defending champion Spain will be eliminated.

The unsettling silence spread throughout the stands of the Crown Stadium, leaving the stadium almost only with the cheers of the Italian fans.

After an unknown amount of time, Alvared let out a long sigh:

"From now on, we can wholeheartedly cheer for the Chinese team, cheer for Hu. Because in this World Cup, there is no longer our home team..."
