Tu Lei was overworked and caught a slight cold.
Fabregas, who should have been a substitute, happened to break the team's rules by staying out all night at a nightclub and was banned from a match.
David Silva got a chance to play.
But the outcome was tragic.
In the second half of the game.
Keane, with the team trailing, committed a violent foul and broke David Silva's right leg with a kick.
What kind of build does Keane have?
What kind of build does David Silva have?
The latter was almost totaled on the spot.
He was carried off on a stretcher in agony,
all the while sobbing heavily.
It wasn't clear whether it was because of the pain,
or because he knew he was definitely going to miss the European Championship that summer.
His chances of being selected were pretty good.
After all, he had the buff of being one of the "dark horses" of Spain. If Spain brought one, they would inevitably think of the other three.
Now, all was gone.
His future may have been gone as well.
