What to fear, what to come, the more you worry about injury, the more unavoidable!
In the European Football League rematch after the epidemic was suspended, the problem of player injuries has always been the focus of attention from the outside world, and less than three weeks after the start of the Chinese Super League, many players have been injured or even seriously injured:
Guoan midfielder Park Sung and Shenhua forward Jin Xinyu suffered two minor injuries in the match, which actually caused them to be reimbursed early in the season.
The hot weather has already tested the players' physical fitness, and the intensive schedule has also led to worrying conditions in some venues in Suzhou and Dalian. This is an important cause of extensive injuries to players .
Park Sung broke the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.
The turf problem is serious, Park Sung and Kim Shin-woo are reimbursed for the season
On August 6, in the 10th minute of the match between Beijing Guoan and Tianjin Teda, Park Sung fell to the ground while dribbling the ball out of Liu Yang's defense in midfield. The injury did not look serious this time, but a stretcher with a protective device for the players entered the field soon. Inside, Park Sung was fixed on a stretcher and lifted off the court, and everyone was aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Park Sung was immediately sent to the hospital for examination. That night Guoan officially announced that according to the MRI results, Park became a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee joint. Next, the club will arrange for him to return to Beijing for expert consultation and formulate subsequent treatment plans.
Jin Xinyu's situation is very similar to that of Park Sung. During the match between Shenhua and Dalian, the South Korean forward was injured without confrontation. On the afternoon of the 12th, Jin Xinyu was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the distal tibia of his right foot. He will also return to Shanghai for surgery immediately.
The injuries of Park Sung and Kim Shin-woo are directly related to the venue.
In the process of preparing for the Super League, the Suzhou Division was affected by the yellow plum sky and rainy days in the south of the Yangtze River. Coupled with the high temperature that followed immediately after the plum blossoms, the relevant people of the Chinese Football Association working in Suzhou had been worried about the turf problem at the beginning of the league.
According to relevant sources in Guoan, before the game against TEDA, the situation of the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center was not very good, and it felt "hard". Park Sung was injured during dribbling, which has a certain relationship with the bad situation.
In fact, the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center had to play the Hebei China Fortune and Chongqing Lifan the next day. Later, the game was changed to the Suzhou Sports Center. Obviously, the turf of the Olympic Sports Center could no longer bear. High-load competition intensity.
In the Dalian Division where Shenhua is located, the grassland of the Dalianers Football Youth Training Base is in very good condition. The first round has played two games within six hours, and the grassland of the Dalian Sports Center, which is the home of Dalianers in previous years, is also in good condition. But the third venue, the turf situation of the Golden State Stadium, is a bit worrying.
When Shenhua and the Dalian players stepped on the field the day before the match, the Shenhua players felt that the ground was as "hard" and uneven as concrete.
After the game began, it was clearly shown from the TV broadcast that the ball could not run close to the ground in many areas, but bounced around. Regarding Jin Xinyu’s injury, Shenhua said, “Maybe stepped on the pit when landing, causing injury. Up."
In fact, not only the competition venue, but even the training venue has encountered some problems.
According to the news reporter of The Paper, there are a total of 8 venues in the Suzhou training base, and each team uses one venue in rotation. Among them, the condition of the 8th venue is very bad, and it can no longer undertake normal training tasks.
Muscle strain has become the norm?
In addition to the hardware facilities of the stadium, the injury that will inevitably occur in the intensive schedule is muscle strain.
After the announcement of the second round of SIPG and China Fortune’s starting list, Hulk, who started the first round and was in good shape, suddenly missed the list. SIPG coach Pereira revealed that Hulk suffered from a muscle strain during training. The Brazilian star has missed the team's three games.
In the second round of the league, in the first half of the match between Suning and Luneng, Suning midfielder Xie Pengfei also suffered a muscle strain. After that, he was absent from the team's games with Dalian and R&F. Suning coach Olaroyu revealed that Xie Pengfei needs at least two weeks of truce.
In the third round, in the second half of the match between Wuhan Zall and Shijiazhuang Yongchang, Zall’s foreign aid Evra was injured and fell to the ground. When he left the field, he grinned and showed a very painful expression... and after entering the Suzhou division, Zall’s Brazilian foreign aid Rafi Er strained his thigh muscles during training.
The Shenzhen foreign aid Mali was rushed to the hospital.
In the fourth round, Shenzhen Kaisa lost 1-2 to Henan Jianye in the second half of the game. Shenzhen foreign aid Mali was injured and replaced by Bifuma. He then put on protective clothing and was taken to an ambulance.
Mali, who opened the record for the game, was diagnosed with a slight strain on the right thigh muscle after examination. Fortunately, there is no symptom of muscle tear. Gao Lin, who assisted him, also suffered a thigh strain.
"How to avoid injury is a brand new topic for many teams under this year's tournament system. The schedule and weather have had a great impact on the team. In previous years, like strong teams, they have had a week of double-match experience."
An industry insider told The Paper that many midstream and downstream teams are basically used to one game a week, "For these teams, how to achieve quality training and ensure the physical recovery of players requires a process of adaptation. This This includes the possible risk of player injury."
