Now football is all-round football, all players are the same. The tackles are fierce, the physical confrontation is intense, and he is easily hit when running without the ball. When making a tackle, the ball should theoretically be tackled but not the person, but if speed is taken into account, it is highly likely that the ball and the person will be tackled at the same time. As for just shoveling someone and causing the opponent to flip over, it would be a foul at most. If it's too obvious, you'll get a yellow card. The Czech team had their clothes torn and was fine. Not even a piece of clothing was compensated, but during the confrontation, the muscle strength of the two players was at its highest point. The person with weak muscle strength may suffer muscle injuries. The confrontational nature of this World Cup is really full of tension. The test of physical strength and endurance is really enough to make weaker players sweat profusely. This makes the audience want to know what kind of major injuries the players may suffer.
If we look at the most obvious high-intensity competition, the players on the field range from teenagers to their 40s. Even the most intensive part is probably between 20 and 35. Think about it when you enter professional football and your opponents are just entering kindergarten. This difference in physical fitness may not be a big problem when the intensity of the competition is slightly weaker. However, the current intensity of the game and the temperature of the weather may have disastrous results for older football players. Therefore, leaving aside the systemic problems caused by hot weather, the most likely thing to encounter is "muscle strain". This is no longer predictive as there are several examples of this already happening. And all occur at low intensity.

Issues related to acceleration, the human knee joint is a very well designed structure. However, he has a fatal flaw. That is, the inner bearing capacity of the knee joint will be significantly insufficient when accelerating rapidly, especially when the knee joint is slightly bent and exerted force. Therefore, it is easy to produce the "three unhappy brothers" - that is, rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, rupture of the medial collateral ligament, and rupture of the medial meniscus. History has been scarred and countless. And this is only if no one is fighting against you. This chance is greater if tackled from the outside. Ronaldo and Neymar are the victims. As far as clinical examples are concerned, there is still no more damage than when fighting against the opponent. There were fewer tackles. But among middle-aged football players, Achilles tendon rupture is not uncommon. When someone is injured, there is usually no one within a few dozen meters, and you don’t know who to scold if you want to.
Confrontation-related injuries. Since tackles are the most common in football confrontations, we will also focus on the damage caused by tackles for discussion. The normal area where a tackle hits should be in the lower half of the calf or near the ankle joint. Most injuries are caused by rupture of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle, and in severe cases, they may cause ankle fractures. In the past, Marcelo of the Brazilian team once shoveled his opponent to the point of being scrapped. However, he caused his opponent's knee to dislocate. That is, multiple ligaments in the knee joint are ruptured, and the joint position is deviated from its normal position. If there is no posterior detachment, the prognosis for surgery is still good. But if it has detached, unless you are an experienced arthroscopist, the surgical results will be very tragic.
It's just that football injuries are an unavoidable part of professional athletes. If you get injured, you're injured. It's impossible to ask for compensation or tell the other party. Another common situation has to do with how you land after being tackled. Most athletes will roll when they land. But sometimes you don't have enough time to react and you land on your elbow or wrist, which can easily cause fractures. Even if you land on your shoulder, it often causes the acromion joint of the shoulder to be dislocated.
We all hope that players from all countries can play football healthily, shine gloriously, and eventually shine on the lintel. I hope no one will be injured and no one will die. This is what all fans look forward to.
