Chapter 485
"One kick, I only used one kick, and he went home!"

Costa patted Li Chuanqi's hand, "Heal with peace of mind, we will win the next two games!"

Teammates came to the hospital to visit Li Chuanqi, Ramos and others left soon after, Atletico Madrid players stayed, and Costa talked about how he "punished" Pique.

"Xavi and Iniesta should know that this is their last World Cup. If they want to achieve good results, they can only endure it. If..."

"They haven't done anything until now, which means they should want to get grades!"

"Why do Harvey and the others have opinions? This is because Pique is ruining his own future. You can see the reaction of the fans. It is said that Pique's house in Barcelona was almost burned down by the fans..."

The Spanish coaching team assessed the impact of Pique's departure.

Regarding the fact that Pique "accidentally" stepped on Li Chuanqi's foot, and Pique immediately left Brazil "due to injury", the media in other countries widely reported that this was a manifestation of the internal strife in the Spanish team.

The president of the Spanish Football Association quickly came forward to put out the fire and told the media that Pique's kick was indeed "accidental". As for Pique leaving Brazil due to injury, this was also an accident!
The Spanish media quickly de-escalated the matter and focused their reports on other places.
