Chapter 181: Chapter 152: Stapler stitches on the brow bone, a face full of blood, a testament to his charge!

Tang Long, who rushed into the net along with the football, felt a moment of dizziness.

The loud crashing sensation from hitting the goalpost reverberated in his mind.

"Boom!!!"

A huge stabbing pain started to spread throughout his body, following his cranial nerves.

A warm stream quietly trickled down his forehead.

It was blood silently flowing, like a thin red stream, tracing a shocking path across Tang Long’s pale face.

He felt his consciousness gradually drifting away, as if countless golden stars were swirling crazily before his eyes, like being caught in a dark vortex, unable to extricate himself.

He clenched his teeth and summoned the last bit of strength to open his eyes.

In his blurred vision, the only thing he was sure of was the football lying quietly in the net, like the sole witness after the storm.

However, this persistence was only temporary. Soon, his vision gradually darkened, and everything was engulfed by a hazy darkness.

In that instant, Tang Long suddenly thought of Chiwo.

Is my skull fractured too?

Damn it, am I going to die on the field?

At that moment, Tang Long felt truly heroic.

For an equalizing goal, he even disregarded his own safety and rushed out.

During that moment, his mind was only focused on scoring, nothing else!

Thankfully, didn’t lose to Juventus away; Inter held on till the end.

With my header, I’ll equalize against you damn bastards!

Don’t think of taking three points from Inter!

The last image in Tang Long’s vision was Berni’s towel.

Uncle Berni squatted down, waving the towel with a terrified face, shouting something loudly.

He could only vaguely see the uncle’s bald head and his exaggeratedly changing mouth shape.

As for the sound, Tang Long couldn’t hear anything at all...

Before anyone could react, when Tang Long ghostly appeared at the back point and scored with a header.

The referee immediately blew the final whistle according to the original plan!

Thanks to Tang Long’s stoppage-time equalizer, Inter leveled with Juventus away in the 95th minute, the last moment of injury time!

At Juventus Stadium, Tang Long defended the honor of the Blue-Black Corps!

Despite being down 10 men against 11, the Blue-Black warriors endured to the end.

The Juventus players were all dumbfounded.

They stood like wooden stakes, dazed on the spot!

How did Chiellini mistime his jump?

Why did the ball strangely slip to the back point?

Why did Tang Long suddenly appear there?

Why didn’t we mark him?

Big question marks hung on the faces of every Juventus player on the field, and also on the bench.

They were equally reflected in the eyes of Juventus Manager Allegri.

I was about to swing a fist in celebration, and then you pull this on me?

Messing with me!

The most frustrated was the original left-back defending Tang Long, the Swiss player Lichtsteiner.

He wasn’t neglecting to mark Tang Long.

When Hernanes took the corner, he was marking Tang Long;

When Inter’s goalkeeper Handanovic flicked the ball from the front point, he was marking Tang Long.

But just when the ball flicked from the front point to the back, arriving in the central area under teammate Chiellini’s control—Lichtsteiner got careless!

He thought his teammate would steadily clear the ball out of the penalty area.

Using a clean and decisive central defender header clearance, to put a perfect end to the match victory!

This is Chiellini, Italy’s national team main central defender, also Juventus’ veteran, the most reliable link in the entire Juventus defense!

When Lichtsteiner just arrived at Juventus, his headers frequently mistimed.

It was Chiellini who taught him hand-in-hand how to improve.

How come at this critical moment, you mistimed the header yourself!

It was precisely due to Lichtsteiner’s carelessness that led to such a huge mistake.

When Chiellini jumped, Lichtsteiner completely let down his guard.

He relaxed his marking of Tang Long, "Haha, it’s steady! We won!"

The result!

Not only did Chiellini mistime his jump, but he also just managed to flick the ball to Tang Long at the back point!

Wait a minute—

Lichtsteiner looked at Tang Long, lying on the ground and surrounded by anxious Inter players, and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

"He was just in the midfield, why did he suddenly rush towards the back post? Could it be that he already knew Chiellini would miss the header and inadvertently flick the ball towards the back post???"

It’s unscientific!

Juventus fans were equally dumbfounded, and their bewilderment quickly turned into towering anger!

The 40,000 home fans at the Juventus Stadium unleashed a torrent of curses like a tidal wave!

The whole stadium was filled with their overwhelming rage.

The duck in hand has flown away, aren’t you furious?

Juventus fans initially wanted to thoroughly humiliate Inter!

However, with one less player and barely securing a point, the Inter players, who left with their bodies intact, had no mood to celebrate whatsoever!

Everyone was surrounding Tang Long, each one as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Because Tang Long was lying spread eagle on the ground, eyes closed, motionless, as if—he was dead!

Blood had already seeped out from his forehead.

"My God, this kid isn’t going to be dead from the collision, is he?" Berni was jumping in anxiety!

Icardi even pulled up his jersey to cover his horrified face.

As a forward, he understood all too well how dangerous Tang Long’s goal attempt was!

During the last corner kick, Icardi clearly saw from the penalty area.

The football was about to fly past the goal line, skimming towards the rear post.

The ball was moving fast, and for Tang Long to head it in, he had to throw himself at it!

His head would probably hit the goalpost!

This is a thick iron pillar, not something to joke about.

In past matches, Icardi instinctively abandoned such situations.

He was good at headers, and his head was hard, but still no match for the goalpost!

Getting too close to the post for a header could easily result in a bloody head, a dreadful sight.

The thing Icardi feared most finally happened to Tang Long right in front of him today.

When Tang Long’s skull thudded heavily against the goalpost.

Icardi felt his head tighten suddenly, hissing...

"Move aside! Everyone move, don’t just stand around idiotically, spread out!"

Inter’s head team doctor, Dr. Comby, wearing soccer shoes and carrying a medical kit, sprinted from the sidelines to the scene of the incident.

Overly tense, he accidentally slipped while approaching the crowd, performing a slide tackle that knocked Icardi directly to the ground.

The unprepared Argentine striker, taken down by his team’s doctor, fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his ankle in agony~

The head team doctor Dr. Comby had no mind to care about Icardi.

All his attention was on Tang Long’s head!

The sound of the skull hitting the goalpost was like a monk striking a bell, a "Duang" sound, shocking Comby to his core.

He parted the crowd and squatted next to Tang Long.

Tang Long’s head covered in blood made the materialist medical doctor, Dr. Comby, pray silently: "Oh God, let him live!"

After checking his pupils and breathing, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief, "Luckily, he’s not dead, he’s still alive."

Comby began examining Tang Long’s head.

In front of dozens of eyes, Comby, wearing gloves, carefully turned Tang Long’s head.

"Hmm..."

Comby paused.

He suddenly laughed.

Then gently slapped Tang Long twice.

"Wake up, young man, you just have a cracked brow-ridge, lost some blood, no big problem, your skull’s fine."

"Mmm..."

Tang Long, groggy, felt two slaps across his face and, in a daze, opened his eyes, his awareness gradually returning.

A circle of teammates’ heads hovering above him, smiling down at him.

Under Comby’s support, Tang Long stood up.

Comby took out a medical stapler and clicked twice on the crack in Tang Long’s brow-ridge!

Tang Long felt a scratch on his brow and then his skin suddenly tightened, stopping the blood flow.

"I’ve stopped the bleeding for now, you can get it properly stitched up later; it’ll be fine in a week, no big issue."

Just like that, after a physically exhausting 90 minutes.

Thanks to Tang Long’s two goals and an assist, Inter walked away from the Juventus Stadium intact, securing a valuable point on their path to third place.
