Martínez got the ball and immediately gave himself some space.
He raised his leg!
Bang!
Capoue blocked Martínez's shot with his body, but he could not stop his momentum. After blocking the shot, he crashed headlong into Martínez.
"Oh!"
"Ah!!!"
Martínez cried out in pain and rolled back and forth on the grass.
!!!
"Hey!"
Tang Ye reacted quickly, immediately waving toward the bench to tell the medical staff to get ready.
Beep!!!
The referee blew his whistle, and the Manchester United players slowly walked over to check on Martínez.
Tang Ye frowned.
The collision itself was no big deal. The problem was that Capoue had stepped on Martínez's ankle—his left ankle, at that.
Tang Ye remembered that Martínez's left ankle had already been injured.
"This is a bit bad..."
Tang Ye sighed quietly. Cristiano Ronaldo merely covered his mouth with his hand and said nothing at first.
Beep, beep, beep!!!
"Xuuu!!!"
"Fuck you!"
Capoue not only received a yellow card, but was also singled out by the home fans.
Tang Ye crouched down and asked the team doctor about the situation. "How is it?"
"No."
"..."
Tang Ye stood up and waved toward the bench together with Marcus Rashford.
"Hiss... Martínez probably can't keep playing."
"Then this is really bad!"
"Manchester United have lost a key starter right at the beginning, and Mason Greenwood also couldn't start because of certain issues—he is under police investigation for domestic violence."
Just like that, Manchester United were down two key starters. The difficulty had suddenly ramped up.
"It's fine, it's fine!"
Clap clap!
Tang Ye encouraged his teammates on the pitch, telling them there was no problem.
"We're leading now. It's fine!"
Manchester United quickly began making their substitution.
Varane was still out injured, so veteran Eric Bailly could only come on
