When Chen Hero knocked James to the ground, many people were stunned.

It's very common for players to collide on the field, especially when competing for a header. Because both sides are only watching the ball and don't pay attention to each other's position at all, the probability of such a collision is highest.

Similarly, the consequences of this collision are often serious. Because they are all jumping and fighting with all their strength, and then they are all in the air, the collision will cause them one injury, and losing their balance in the air and falling to the ground will cause them a second injury.

Everyone has seen this scene a lot.

But a player collides with the referee when fighting for a header... To be honest, this scene is really rare.

Even the chances of colliding with the referee on the ground are not high. You must know that the referee's running position is also a science, and it is a must for a referee to master. So referees themselves rarely appear on the path of the football's movement.

Unexpectedly, James made such a low-level mistake—James was actually dodging the football, which was correct. But because the football flew first and James moved later, this scene looked as if James was deliberately heading for the football. If it weren't for the bright yellow referee's uniform he was wearing, people would have thought he was an Everton player competing with Chen Hero.

So everyone naturally thinks that James's running position was wrong, and this mistake is very low-level for a young leader in the refereeing world like him...

Even the FA officials on the podium, who had been a little失态 (shī tài, lost their composure), calmed down after their anger. Although they intuitively felt that Chen Hero was doing it on purpose, they really couldn't find any evidence. Could Chen Hero control James's running position and make him run exactly to the landing point of the football?

Then Chen Hero shouldn't play football, but should become a religious leader.

When Chen Hero collided with James, many people couldn't help but close their eyes. Because the collision was too intense.

However, because of this, many people did not see clearly how the collision occurred.

Fortunately, the TV quickly gave a slow-motion replay.

In the lens, Chen Hero tried his best to jump up. In order to increase his jumping height, he also curled up his legs. In this way, his knees naturally aimed at the back of James's head.

However, Chen Hero's knee did not really hit directly. Otherwise, James wouldn't just be lying on the ground holding his head in his hands. Judging from Chen Hero's weight, his jumping ability, and his previous sprinting speed, if this hit was solid, James would most likely pass out directly. Whether he could retain his memory after waking up would be difficult to say.

When Chen Hero's knee was about to touch the back of James's head, it deviated slightly. Just this subtle movement allowed the knee to brush past the back of James's head.

After narrowly avoiding the back of James's head, there was still no way to completely avoid James. So his knee directly hooked James's eye socket, and blood officially flowed from that place.

Then his legs hit James's back, bumping him forward.

All of this happened in a flash. Without the help of the camera's replay, many people might not have been able to see exactly what happened.

After watching this replay, the commentators all sighed at James's good luck.

If Chen Hero's knee had made solid contact, it would be hard to say whether James could have survived...

Thinking that this worst-case scenario was almost a reality, many people instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Kicking a game and killing someone, that would really be serious...

Although the whistle did not sound, the football was still kicked out by the Liverpool players.

You can ignore the opposing players falling on the ground. But the referee is like this, it's really impossible to ignore.

Most of the Liverpool reserve team players are still relatively kind, so the Liverpool player who received Chen Hero's flick headed the football out of bounds immediately.

After Chen Hero landed, he looked back at the referee James who was lying on the ground. A look of horror appeared on his face, and then he jumped up, waving his arms to the sidelines, signaling for a stretcher to come up!

Looking at his appearance, it is completely impossible to imagine that he actually did it on purpose. What he showed was just an ordinary player who was panicked by an accident.

Only Chen Hero knew that he did this because he didn't want to leave any handles for certain people. You must know that阴人 (yīn rén, harming people in secret) also requires acting skills. James was suspended until the end of the season the first time because his acting skills were too poor. He realized this in this game, so his acting skills had improved. But it was still too clumsy, making it obvious at a glance.

He couldn't be as stupid as James. He knew that the huge success Liverpool had achieved had caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied. It is inevitable that a big tree will attract wind, but you can't leave "evidence" for the enemy yourself, that would be too stupid.

Some people are trying to weaken Liverpool, but they have always lacked an excuse.

Liverpool is not like Manchester United. Since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has quickly become the overlord. After more than 20 years of operation, the entire English football world is Manchester United's force. In England, there is a consensus—Manchester United does receive more care than other teams. For example, the famous English referee Webb is a Manchester United supporter.

Liverpool has been in decline for many years, and its foundation is completely rotten. Naturally, it has no ability to compare with Manchester United.

People who can't stand Manchester United can't bring down Manchester United, but they can still attack Liverpool.

Seeing Chen Hero like this, those who were still in a daze suddenly realized, and the Everton team doctor rushed up immediately.

After all, the Liverpool team doctor is also a Liverpool supporter, and has a deep aversion to James, so the reaction speed is naturally slower.

In fact, after the initial surprise, they felt very relieved after seeing Chen Hero knock James down!

So they wouldn't run to treat James屁颠屁颠地 (pì diān pì diān de, happily wagging their tails). Anyway, with such rich and developed medical methods now, James will definitely not die.

After the Everton team doctor came up, he quickly checked James's injuries.

His left eye socket was cut open, and blood was gushing out. At the same time, he also had a brief shock.

But he had already woken up under the treatment of the team doctor.

After waking up, he was mentally dazed, unable to concentrate, and his vision was blurred.

These are not good news.

Because it means that he will not be able to continue to referee this game...

While the Everton team doctor was examining James, Chen Hero also squatted beside him with concern, waiting for the results.

After hearing the result, he lowered his head deeply.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Hero is still quite conscientious. After hitting the referee, he is still so guilty. Actually, it has nothing to do with him... This is just an accident, an accident that no one wants to encounter.

No one knew that Chen Hero, who lowered his head, was grinning.

After so much effort, if I can't get you down, I won't be called Hero!

Then he got up and walked out of the crowd.

At this time, the expression on his face had returned to normal.

No one knew how happy and gratified he was inside.

Those who offend me will always be punished. If you don't believe me, just look back and see who I have spared over the years!

James's blood-covered appearance was a little scary. It made people think that they were not watching a football game, but a news clip of the Middle East war.

He was carried off the field on a stretcher, his face pale, lying on the stretcher, motionless.

Even if the Everton team doctor didn't say anything, everyone knew that James would most likely not be able to continue refereeing this game...

The FA officials on the podium finally remembered this time and did not behave too失态 (shī tài, lost their composure) in public, otherwise it would cause a lot of speculation.

They sat in their seats, but cursed Chen Hero madly in their hearts.

All kinds of vicious words were added to Chen Hero's head, without restraint.

Because of Chen Hero's collision, he shattered their most anticipated future...

If it weren't for the lack of evidence, they would almost really think that Chen Hero did it on purpose.

Just look at his performance after knocking James down, he was so concerned and anxious... It didn't seem like he was faking it.

They were confused.

James, lying on the sidelines, finally woke up. He had not forgotten his mission. He struggled to return to the field to referee the game.

This scene fell into everyone's eyes.

The commentator also sighed: "James is really a serious and dedicated referee! He's so badly injured, but he still wants to return to the field! This is really admirable!"

James, who was stopped by the Everton team doctor, roared frantically in his heart: "What are you stopping me for! Don't you know that you can only win the game if I'm on the field! You bunch of idiots! Have you all forgotten that 1:1 draw?!"

The Everton team doctor couldn't hear James's roar in his heart, so he did his duty and didn't let James return to the field to referee the game. Given James's current physical condition, he really couldn't continue to referee the game.

As for James, he couldn't directly say what he was thinking, otherwise he would really be finished...

It must be said that his mind is indeed clear now.

The Everton team doctor insisted on not letting James return to the field.

After the fourth official checked James's condition, he also agreed with the Everton team doctor's decision.

He had to make a decision as soon as possible.

An injured referee is not like injured players. If there is one less player, the game can still continue. If there is one less referee, how can the game be played?

So since he was injured, the game has stopped, and everyone is waiting for the final result. Either James returns to the field, or someone replaces him.

In the end, the fourth official made a decision - he would replace James and referee the game.

James was furious at this decision, but he had no way to tell his referee partner, because this was indeed not a glorious thing.

He can only use practical actions to prove that he can do it.

So he struggled to get up from the stretcher.

"I can, I have no problems, I feel great! A simple hemostasis is all it takes. If you don't believe me, look..." After saying that, he tried to run to show them, to prove that there was nothing wrong with his body.

But just after running two steps, he veered to the left and fell to the ground!

Causing another burst of exclamations from the surrounding people.

Okay, there's no need to say anything else, James really can't continue to referee this game...
