In the 19th round of the China Central League, in the 37th minute, Zhejiang had a strong attack. Mu Xiekui jumped up in the air and tried to break the goal with a header, but unexpectedly collided with Liaoning Shenyang City player Yu Jiawei's head, and Mu Xiekui fell to the ground. Fans lamented Mu Xiekui's missed opportunity, but the collision not only interrupted the pace of the game, but also put Mu Xiekui out of action due to injury.
The examination results showed that Mu Xiekui unfortunately suffered a fracture of the zygomatic bone during the scramble. Considering the demand for treatment, the club decided to arrange for Mu Xiekui to return to Hangzhou to receive professional treatment.
As a 34-year old striker, Mu Xiekui has been almost fully active this season, however, he has been undergoing a long rest due to an old head injury at the beginning of the season. The long-term impact of soccer on the head has made Mu Xiekui's old injury a hidden problem.
Since the start of the league campaign, Mu Xiekui has shown amazing form as he leads the Central League scoring charts with 14 goals.
However, the injury has forced Mu Xiekui to take a temporary break. With a long recovery period for a fractured cheekbone, the team is looking forward to Mu Xiekui's early recovery to help the team stand out in the fourth stage of the Central League. Zhejiang will be facing strong opponents at the top of the rankings, and Mu Xiekui's experience and scoring ability will be crucial for the team.
However, in addition to the fourth stage, the third stage is also the key that Zhejiang team can not be ignored. Facing an opponent ranked outside the 10th place, it was originally a good opportunity for Zhejiang to grab points. However, the absence of Mu Xiekui has greatly reduced the team's attacking power. Frank and Matthews on the field of tacit understanding is not enough, no matter who replace Mu Xiekui, can not reach the threat of Mu Xiekui. In this game, although Frank had a wonderful moment of hitting the crossbar with a header, he failed to create more scoring chances.
After replacing Shao Renzhe and Gao Di, Zhejiang's offense gradually warmed up. Shao Renzhe scored his first league goal for Zhejiang in the 80th minute, helping the team equalize the score. In the absence of Mu Xiekui, should coach Qiaodi be more flexible in the use of foreign aid quotas, adjusting the lineup according to the opponent's situation in order to keep the team's offensive vitality?
For Mu Xiekui, Zhejiang fans have more expectations. At the critical moment of relegation in Dalian, Mu Xiekui played with an injury, scored 6 goals, and postponed surgery until the team relegation success before returning to Europe. Mu Xiekui's struggle on the field even once made him shock, but he woke up and still insisted on playing. It is because of this spirit that Mu Xiekui has won the respect of all Dalian fans. This time, "tough guy" Mu Xiekui may return to the game when his body allows, because he knows that the Zhejiang team needs him at the critical moment of the super - we will witness the "masked man" in the league! "Will we witness the return of Mu Xiekui in the league?
After the 19th round of the league, Zhejiang dropped from the third to the fourth place in the points ranking. In the face of this accident, Zhejiang must show the ability of "anti-fragile", and continue to grab points in the absence of Mu Xiekui, in order to maintain the initiative of the supremacy.
