Chen Yu and Eriksson attended the press conference together to announce Owen's injury. A torn cruciate ligament confirmed his absence from the World Cup. This devastating news completely diluted the joy of England advancing from the group stage.
After the press conference, Chen Yu took Owen to Berlin. He didn't even bother going to Nuremberg to regroup with the United States Team. The United States Team had already been eliminated in advance anyway; once their final match concluded, they could pack their bags and head home. Chen Yu's presence wouldn't change the outcome.
For the foreseeable future, Chen Yu would be stationed in Berlin to provide comprehensive medical services for the teams entering the knockout rounds. Consequently, the first thing many teams did was relocate their headquarters to Berlin.
