Chapter 1307 Injuries

While Real Madrid defeated Malaga 2-0 at home with a substitute lineup, Barcelona also played at home and defeated newly promoted Malaga 2-1 with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.

Strictly speaking, the result of this game is not satisfactory, especially at the Camp Nou, but after just experiencing a 1-4 away defeat to Celta Vigo, we can come out with a victory. Dilemma can be regarded as a result worthy of recognition.

What is really regrettable is that Barcelona's number one star Messi was injured and was discharged after just eight minutes on the field.

In the first three minutes, Messi fell to the ground while dribbling the ball on the right side of the penalty area and rushing towards the goal. He received treatment from the team doctor. However, this time it was not taken seriously and he remained on the court and continued to play.

But five minutes later, Messi fell to the ground and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Subsequently, Messi immediately went to the hospital for examination. The result was that the medial collateral ligament of his left knee was damaged, causing severe pain and swelling on the inside and outside of the knee joint. He is expected to be sidelined for at least two months.

Such news is undoubtedly a tragedy for Barcelona, ​​which is currently in a poor situation. At the same time, it has once again caused outside media and fans to question Barcelona's management, because Barcelona's current lineup is too thin.

Even Barcelona's mouthpiece Daily Sports asked after the game whether there was a problem with Barcelona's superstar strategy?

"When Real Madrid used the substitute lineup and rested stars such as Yang Yang and Hazard, they were able to defeat Malaga 2-0 at home. However, Barcelona allowed superstars such as Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to play full games. We have to miss all the games and get seriously injured, which is something we must reflect on!”

Luis Enrique also said helplessly after the game that he also hopes that the team can rotate as much as Real Madrid does, so that every player can get more and better performance opportunities, while also giving the main players more rest time. .

"The damage that FIFA has caused us is similar to injuries, but we will not be knocked down easily. We will work harder and we will not change our playing style. We firmly believe that we can overcome this hurdle. .”

Luis Enrique is obviously not only referring to the FIFA virus, but also pointing the finger at FIFA's transfer ban. He believes that the transfer ban prevents Barcelona from introducing players and is forced to continue fighting with the current lineup.

Not only the head coach, but Barcelona midfielder Busquets also pointed the finger at FIFA, believing that the team's injuries were more due to penalties from FIFA, which resulted in the players having to fight fatigue.

What is right and what is wrong cannot be explained in just a few words, but Messi's serious injury still attracted widespread attention from the outside media and fans, and countless people sent their blessings to Messi.

Yang Yang personally gave blessings on his Twitter and Weibo.

"Leo, I hope you can recover as soon as possible, my friend! I hope you can return in the best condition, I am waiting for you at the Bernabeu!"

Messi also quickly responded on Twitter after Yang Yang liked him, "Thank you, I'll be back soon!"

After Yang Yang and other international players arrived, they rested for five days. On October 8th, they ushered in the fourth game of the top 40, which was also a key game. They challenged Qatar away.

Plagued by injuries, the national team is not well-organized this time. Players such as Gao Lin and Feng Xiaoting failed to participate, resulting in a shortage of team personnel. Queiroz's formation is also mainly defensive.

Qatar has many naturalized players and their personal abilities are good, so the Chinese team has to pay attention to it.
