Champion’s Heart

Chapter 152 One Month Is Much Shorter than One Year

Dr. Braun, Dortmund's team doctor, came on. When he was treating and examining Mark, Zhou Yi was standing next to him, and other Dortmund players also ran over one after another.

Mark has good popularity in the team. On the one hand, he is from a pure South Stand background. On the other hand, he is low-key and kind, does not cause trouble, and has a good personality. Naturally, no one will be unhappy with him.

His injury also touched the hearts of many people.

Captain Weidenfeller did not step forward, but stayed behind to protest to the referee that Shakhtar Donetsk had not shown enough sportsmanship. He believed that after Mark was injured, Shakhtar Donetsk players should take the initiative to kick the football Go out and create a dead ball situation so that Dortmund's team doctor can come in and treat Mark.

But Shakhtar Donetsk did not do this. Zhou Yi had no choice but to directly hug his waist. Therefore, the referee should not be so harsh on Zhou Yi and give him a yellow card.

Zhou Yi didn't take the yellow card to heart at all now. He frowned and stood beside Mark, worried that the situation would be bad.

Mark had just been seriously injured for more than a year. If he suffered another injury just half a year after recovering from injury, Zhou Yi would be very worried about Mark's future.

Unexpectedly, Mark's mood was normal. Seeing Zhou Yi's frown, he smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "Are you saying goodbye to my body?"

Zhou Yi was surprised. He didn't expect Mark to be able to tell jokes...

"It's just a muscle strain. I know very well, Zhou Yi, it's no big deal."

After he finished speaking, Dr. Braun, who was examining next to him, also gave the answer: "Well, it's a muscle strain. But it's not easy, Mark."

Hearing this, Mark shrugged.

Zhou Yi just looked at Mark blankly, unable to understand why Mark could be so calm and composed.

The referee came up and asked Dr. Braun if he needed a stretcher. Dr. Braun originally wanted to nod, but Mark said, "No, I can walk on my own, I just need to walk slower."

Braun looked at him and said, "Then let me help you down."

Then Mark got up from the ground with some difficulty, and limped off the court with the help of Dr. Brian.

Because Dortmund has used up all three substitutions, and Mark cannot return to the court, Dortmund can only play ten against eleven. Fortunately, there is not much time left in the game, and Shakhtar Donetsk does not Couldn't take advantage of this opportunity to score another goal.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Dortmund tied Shakhtar Donetsk 2:2 away from home. They scored two away goals and had great hopes of advancing at home.

But this result actually did not satisfy Dortmund supporters, because everyone originally expected to defeat Shakhtar Donetsk away from home. Now not only are there no wins on the road, but players are also injured.

Mark's injury is probably Dortmund's biggest loss in this game.

At the post-match press conference, Klopp also answered questions about Mark's injury: "...We are not yet sure how serious his injury is. We will not be able to confirm the diagnosis until we return to Dortmund. I hope it is not serious. serious……"

Klopp looked haggard when he talked about this issue. He must have known the specific injury to some extent, but it was difficult for him to explain clearly in front of the news media.

But the reporters were not stupid. Seeing his expression, they knew that Mark's injury might not be too minor...

※※※

Sure enough, after returning to Dortmund, the Dortmund club officially announced that Mark Wagner strained his thigh muscle in the game against Shakhtar Donetsk and will miss at least a month.

A month's absence from the game seems short compared to Mark's previous serious injury for a year, but considering that Mark has been on the rise after returning from injury, then this January absence can simply be regarded as a mistake. A basin of cold water was poured on it.

This injury is likely to interrupt his form;

And this injury also made people worry about whether Mark Wagner, who has experienced serious injuries before, will become prone to habitual injuries from now on?

Muscle strain can easily turn into a stubborn disease, but what is more terrifying than muscle strain is that other injuries will also come to Mark, eventually turning him into a "glass man" that professional players talk about with disdain.

The local media in Dortmund are discussing Mark's injury. Compared with Mark's injury, Dortmund's failure to win Shakhtar Donetsk in the away game is not a problem at all.

As a player from the South Stand, Mark is very popular among Dortmund fans. Dortmund fans all hope that Mark can succeed in Dortmund, and he has the expectations of countless Dortmund fans in the South Stand.

So when he was seriously injured for a year, many fans were sad and shed tears.

I finally came back from injury, scored goals when I came back, and was in good form after that. Although I didn't start every game, I performed very well and scored goals one after another.

Just when everyone was looking forward to him getting back on the road, injuries caught him again.

This kind of thing really breaks the hearts of many Mark fans.

Many people are worried that Mark will become depressed after suffering such successive blows.

Zhou Yi also had the same idea, so before he came to Mark's house, he prepared a lot of words to enlighten Mark. And the name "Deisler" must never be mentioned.

But when he knocked on Mark's door, what surprised him was that it was Mark himself who opened the door for him!

"Huh?" He stood at the door dumbfounded, looking at Mark. "You...why are you here?"

"Isn't this what I should say to you?"

"Uh, no, I mean... why are you opening the door? Are you able to walk?"

"You can use crutches." Mark took out his hand from behind the door, which held a crutch.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to let Mark stand for a long time, so he quickly entered the room, sat down and talked.

※※※

"I'm really surprised. It was you who opened the door for me..." Zhou Yi was still sighing after entering the room.

Mark's mother, Mrs. Wagner, said from the side: "Originally, I was going to open the door for you, but he insisted on doing it himself..."

Mark smiled and said: "I just don't want you to see me lying on the bed with eyes blank - did you think you would see that?"

Zhou Yi scratched his head. It was hard to answer this question, but he did have a scene similar to this in his mind: In a room with the curtains drawn, Mark was lying on the bed, showing no reaction to his arrival. His head was tilted to one side, and the light was dim. His face could not be illuminated, and the air in the room seemed to be frozen, making it depressing and despairing.

But after actually arriving, the windows of Mark’s house were bright and clear. Mark was sitting on the chair opposite him in home clothes with a smile on his face. If it weren’t for the crutches at hand, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that this was a man who had just been injured. Someone who's been out for a month.

"I originally prepared a lot of words to enlighten you, Mark. But now I think it may not be necessary..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.

"Yeah, I once missed a year of competition due to injury. Now I'm just resting for a month, and I don't think it's a big deal!" At this point, Mark laughed.

Zhou Yi paid attention to his expression, but he couldn't tell whether Mark was pretending to be happy or if he was really so relaxed.

So in the end, Zhou Yi didn't say what he had prepared, and he didn't continue to ask about Mark's injury. He had lunch at Mark's house, and played football games with Mark in his room for a while in the afternoon.

Then I said goodbye to Mark and his family at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Sitting in the car going home, he was still carefully recalling Mark's performance that day. He really couldn't find any trace of Mark forcing a smile.

He hoped that Mark could face some setbacks in life with an open mind, but when Mark was really so open-minded, it was a little hard for him to understand. He couldn't figure out how Mark could be so relaxed and open-minded on his own... This hairpin bend was really Is it getting better?

Or maybe it's a muscle strain and I need to rest for a month. It's really not a big deal and I don't need to worry about it too much?

※※※

Back in the apartment, Zhou Yi didn't see Cortana come back until she went to bed. She probably went back to her home directly after get off work.

This detail made Zhou Yi worry about Mark again. Cortana went back to live, most likely because of Mark's injury.

Thinking about it this way, Mark's injury doesn't seem to be easy...

But what Zhou Yi can do now is very limited. Since Mark can figure it out by himself, there is nothing much to say.

Physical injuries can be cured, but just be afraid of psychological injuries. He really doesn't want Mark to become the second Deisler. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
