Chapter 105 There Is only One Answer!
David Silva was half lying on the bed, staring at the dangling right leg, a low look written on his face, pain and worry clearly visible from the corner of his eyes.
Thinking back to the moment he fell on the court, he felt the whole world go dark.
Injuries, the word is the worst enemy of all professional players.
Silva has also been injured before, but not too serious. Most of them are minor injuries such as sprained feet and swollen calves. After a week or two of training, they can fully recover, but this time is definitely different. Yes, because he could feel his leg hurt badly.
The doctor has been here once.
David Silva opened his mouth many times to ask about his injury, but in the end he didn't ask.
He has no courage.
He was afraid that the doctor would come up with hopelessly bad news.
Often the players themselves don't ask about this kind of thing, and the doctor doesn't take the initiative to say it, so he has been bored in the ward, thinking about his leg injury, thinking about not being able to play for a long time, thinking about the loss after recovery. Status and so on, these thoughts made him even more desperate.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a figure in a neat suit walked in. He walked in with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, with a favorable smile on his face.
David Silva raised his head suspiciously, only to find that Wan Sheng was coming. He thought that Wan Sheng should be in the stadium at this time, but unexpectedly came to the hospital to visit him.
He was taken aback by Wansheng's arrival.
"How do you feel, David?" Wan Sheng asked with concern.
Silva hurriedly replied, "No, it's nothing, I just don't feel it here." He pointed to the slung calf and said worriedly like a child.
Wan Sheng smiled, "Of course, the doctor gave you anesthesia just now. It still works now!"
David Silva nodded blankly and suddenly asked, "Then do you know how my leg is hurt?"
"You don't know?" Wan Sheng asked strangely.
"I didn't ask." David Silva bowed his head a little embarrassedly, and added, "I dare not ask."
He really wanted to know the specifics of the leg injury. But he was afraid that the doctor would give a hopeless answer. But seeing Wan Sheng's smiling face, he thought it shouldn't be too serious, so he had the courage to ask.
Wan Sheng looked at David Silva and nodded understandingly.
The Spanish boy in front of him is actually not as strong as he seems. He can come to England alone, but it does not mean that he can face the first serious injury in his career.
So Wan Sheng said seriously, "David. You have to be brave. Just like on the pitch. Think about the game against Chelsea in the last round, you were the best on the pitch, better than everyone else, think about it, How many fans were calling your name back then!"
Looking back on that game, David Silva's face is also a little proud.
"I dare say that you are a genius, but a genius is not just a talent. It also requires perseverance, courage, and other personal qualities. This is the real genius." Wan Sheng continued, "Your talent Very good, training hard on weekdays, and now the only thing you lack is courage! Yes, you need courage!"
"You have to have the courage to face any game, any challenge, but also to have the courage to face some bad things, like now, you are injured, you need to have the courage to face the injury, because that's what almost any professional player needs to face. Yes, you know what I mean, David?"
David Silva didn't answer, just thought hesitantly.
Wan Sheng said, "What are you worried about? Say it!"
Silva hesitated for a while before saying, "But, boss, I don't know how long it will take to recover from an injury, and I don't know what state it will be in after recovery. I don't know if I can play well... ..”
"You don't need to think so much!"
Wan Sheng walked slowly to the bedside and said seriously, "We have an old saying in China called 'If you lose your horse, how can you know it's not a blessing?' It may turn into a good thing, so our mentality must be optimistic and don’t think about bad things.”
"Take your current injury as an example. You always think that you can't guarantee your state in the future, but how do you know that it will not be better in the future? Maybe this injury is the beginning of your success."
"Professional players have to go through injuries, and they can grow up only after having experience. For you, this is not only an injury, but also an experience. You should take it as a must experience. After the experience, you will have more experience. Courage, then your performance will be better! David, I am very sure of this, because I am very optimistic about you, I believe you will become the best!" Wan Sheng looked into David Silva's eyes, said very seriously.
David Silva was a little moved.
He knew that Wan Sheng was comforting himself, but these words really made sense, and it also showed that Wan Sheng took him very seriously, so what else did he need to worry about?
Take good care of your injury and continue to play for the team when you recover!
Next, David Silva called the doctor and asked about his leg injury.
His injury is actually not as serious as he imagined. It's just a dislocation of the calf muscles and a little strain. After a minor surgery and two months of recuperation, he will be almost healed. That is to say, he will be able to catch up with many games when he recovers. Contest.
This is also the reason why Wansheng feels relieved.
Two months is a lot, but nothing compared to the entire season.
The games at the end of the season will definitely be very important. David Silva can catch up with those games, and he will be a lot easier. Of course, this is far from being better than Silva without injury, but the injury is lighter than expected. Not bad.
As he said himself, people always have to be optimistic.
......
But the optimistic attitude is optimistic, and there is no way to be pessimistic.
This is at Manchester Stadium.
Since it is the first game of the FA Cup, it is not an exaggeration to describe the stadium audience with a huge crowd. In England, the FA Cup, the oldest and most traditional cup game, always attracts the attention of countless fans. In the game, Manchester City's opponent is actually just Skenso - an English second (fourth) league team.
The game is what the fans imagined. Skenso is no match for Manchester City at all.
In the face of the strong attacking Manchester City, Skenso can only passively defend, and then helplessly watch the goal being broken again and again.
Although they defended very actively, many commentators and guests praised their efforts, but effort does not mean strength. near the end of the game. They still conceded four goals.
Manchester City won 4:0 at home.
Although it is a match against a fourth-tier league team, a 4-0 win is nothing at all, but it is a good start to the FA Cup this season, and it is worth celebrating. But at this time, Wan Sheng's brows were furrowed. He looked worriedly at the player who was carried off the court -- Nikolai -- Anelka!
Anelka after completing the breakthrough. Suddenly fell to the ground. The way he covered his feet and bared his teeth and grinned, let people know that his injury was definitely not light.
Wansheng is worried about Anelka.
Anelka's character is a headache, but I have to say that he is a very talented player and the backbone of the team's striker. Darren Bent, who has just emerged, has performed well, but it is also difficult compared to his abilities. There are still some differences between the two.
Without Anelka, the team's striker line will definitely be worse.
The most frustrating thing for Wansheng is. The team has players injured in three consecutive games, first Sinclair, then David Silva, then Nicola Anekka, three games missing three generals, with the team's current bench Depth, really a bit stretched.
He was worried about the formation of the next game.
After the game, Wansheng went to visit Anelka and learned about his injury - he needed to rest for more than a month. From the perspective of recovery time, his injury is worse than that of David Silva. It's better, but one month plus the time to resume training is not too short. During this period of time, he will definitely not be able to participate in the competition.
The next day Wansheng put more emphasis on personal physical training. He required that each player must complete 100% of the training content before leaving. For this reason, he even reduced the time for tactical training.
He needs to use training to minimize the chance of injury.
Three generals were injured, and the impact on the team was already great. If anyone else was injured, Wansheng was not sure if he still had the confidence to guarantee the team's results.
At this time, there are already media in the outside world singing 'elegies' for Manchester City.
......
"For three consecutive games, three Manchester City players were injured, which shows the general physical condition of Manchester City players. Each of them should be careful about injuries. This may be related to Manchester City's tactics and training..."
The "Daily Mirror" attributed the injuries of the three to the tactics designated by Wansheng and Manchester City's training beyond the general team standard, "Manchester City's tactics require physical support, but this is an overdraft of the lives of professional players, they put in More physical strength than others, in exchange for physical weakness, which makes them more prone to injury than others..."
This statement suddenly sounds plausible, but when you think about it, it makes no sense at all.
Exercising more than others is overdrawing vitality? Then all professional players don't need training, just take a good rest... Of course, this is impossible. It can be said that the "Daily Mirror" said that for disgusting Wansheng.
I found the reporter's name, and it was very familiar... Brand, the reporter who had a grudge against Wan Sheng.
Maybe Wan Sheng has long forgotten that there is a "Brand" who has been making trouble for him, but Brand will not forget, he is determined to take revenge for the humiliation he received on Wan Sheng.
Manchester City performed very well before. He had no chance to do anything at all. Now, Manchester City is still the first in the league, but they lost three players in three games. What will happen next can be imagined.
So the 'Wansheng Opposition' headed by the "Daily Mirror" began to analyze from all angles that Manchester City was in an 'extreme crisis'. After reading their analysis, it would feel as if the Manchester City club would go bankrupt tomorrow. Yes, but in fact, Manchester City is still firmly occupying the top spot in the league, and has not wavered at all.
However, the big media is still not optimistic about Manchester City. After all, many teams, especially the small teams with good results in the first half of the competition, are easily defeated by injuries. There are countless examples in football history. It is not easy to predict that Manchester City's results will be affected, and it is not easy to continue to maintain the top spot in the league.
As the "Sun" said, "Whether it is Anelka, Sinclair, or the Spanish teenager David Silva, they are all players who often start, and three people are injured at the same time, Manchester City will definitely arrange the starting lineup. Affected, this may have become the most troublesome thing for Wansheng..."
This is the public opinion.
But in fact, Wansheng didn't have any headaches for the starting lineup at all, because he built all the positions of Manchester City. Button and a veteran Reina, Sinclair's injury will have a big impact, but Ivan Crewe came in the winter, he has been adapting to the team, and now it is almost time to get a chance, the frontcourt is It's simpler. Although Darren Bent is not as good as Anelka, there is no problem in replacing him during this time. In addition, Robbie Fowler and Andy Cole can also get more opportunities. They have always been in good shape.
After all, Wansheng doesn't need to think too much about arranging troops.
However, the three cannot play, and the team's strength is definitely affected. Wansheng only hopes that the players can play better, at least not to make any major mistakes.
Just like what he said to the players, "Before the warm spring comes the harsh winter, before the autumn is the harsh summer, and the dawn will come through the darkness before dawn, and now is our difficult time!"
"The dawn is ahead. As long as we can rush past, we can get what we want. If we stop halfway, we will get nothing."
"What kind of result do you want?"
The players didn't expect Wansheng to suddenly say these things about this question. They didn't know how to answer when they saw Wansheng waving his arms grimly and shouting, "Championship! I only need one answer, and that is champion!"
"We're going to rush! We're going to get what we're after, the championship is ours!"
Saying that, he pointed out the door and shouted, "Now, go out and kill them! Tell everyone with the score, what the hell is our situation!"
After listening to Wan Sheng's words, everyone in the locker room immediately filed out.
Recently, the outside world has been reporting bad news about them, and many of them are saying that their performance will decline very much, and they don't even have to think about competing for the league championship. These reports make them feel very angry, So they can't wait to prove something on the field.
That's what happened in the away dressing room in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic. (To be continued ~^~)
