Episode [187]: Follow-Up Visit Again, Murphy’s Law

Nice weather in Leeds, England!

The winter sun is warm and scorching, making people feel refreshed. But it still looked extremely cold under the dark shade of the trees, as if there were two worlds of ice and fire.

The breeze carried a slight chill, as if it was foreshadowing that the next snow was coming.

Leeds United's St. Loya training base is hidden under the shade of a tree and looks a bit cool. Fortunately, the training ground is open and can be covered by the sun. The players training on the training ground can indeed feel the warmth of the sun. .

Zhong Cheng, dressed in a suit, walked to Leeds United's medical center!

Today, Leeds United's injured Alexander Pato will return for follow-up consultation.

Zhong Cheng's brows were furrowed. Alexander Pato had been having more and more follow-up visits recently. Zhong Cheng didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Alexander Pato is a talented player, and Zhong Cheng doesn't want him to sink because of injuries.

Albertini followed Zhong Cheng closely and said directly: "Don't worry, boss, Alexander will be fine!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said: "With the technology and staffing of our treatment center, I am not worried about Alexander Pato's physical recovery. What I am worried about is Alexander's psychological problems!"

Yes, Alexander Pato is still very young, and he has suffered such a big injury now. Zhong Cheng doesn't know whether his immature heart can withstand such a big impact.

As the old saying goes, the human heart is the most complicated thing!

No powerful person can understand other people's thoughts!

The so-called mind-reading skills are bullshit!

Albertini was slightly startled when he heard this. Albertini had actually suffered serious injuries, and he knew that feeling very well. That sense of frustration and the unknown about the future are like the ultimate fear, making people involuntarily afraid and causing them to become uncontrollably depressed...

When he was injured, Albertini thought about giving up many times. That feeling was really, really grinding and heartbreaking!

He shuddered all over when he thought that Alexander Pato was still young.

Can Alexander Pato withstand such pain and suffering? Albertini didn’t know either, and he didn’t know either!

Albertini saw the frowning Zhong Cheng and immediately said: "Boss, don't worry. Alexander is a very strong child. I believe he can overcome injuries and fear!"

Zhong Cheng turned to look at Albertini, sighed and said, "I hope so!"

Then, Zhong Cheng walked into the medical center first.

Looking at Zhong Cheng's back, Albertini also sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then followed Zhong Cheng into the treatment center.

As soon as Zhong Cheng walked into the treatment center, he saw the busy medical scientists.

Some of these people are busy in front of the computer, some are writing down something by hand, and some are busy around a hospital bed...

Zhong Cheng walked in and saw Alexander Pato lying shirtless on the hospital bed. His body was filled with high-tech things on his abdomen, heart, chest, temples and wrists!

Zhong Cheng didn't know what these things were for. But Zhong Cheng knew that this should be testing some of Alexander Pato's physical data or something!

When Mark Pias saw Zhong Cheng coming, he immediately nodded slightly to Zhong Cheng.

Alexander Pato, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw Zhong Cheng arriving. He struggled to get up, but was immediately stopped by Mark Piaas.

Zhong Cheng also immediately stretched out his hand to signal Alexander Pato to lie down.

Zhong Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Alexander, what do you think?"

Alexander Pato immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, I think my condition is very good now, and I should be able to resume training in a week or two!"

Zhong Cheng stared closely at Alexander Pato. This guy was making great progress and his mental state was also very good. There was nothing decadent about him.

It seems that this injury did not have much impact on him!

Of course, it is impossible to judge this matter so easily. This requires long-term observation to know.

Zhong Cheng immediately said: "You take good care of your injuries. I will ask Mark to see the specific condition of your body. Of course, if your health is completely recovered, you will definitely return to the club immediately. Our club cannot live without you!"

Alexander Pato nodded firmly, indicating that he understood.

Zhong Cheng said: "Okay, you can take the treatment well!"

After speaking, Zhong Cheng signaled to Mark Piaas, and then the two of them walked aside.

Zhong Cheng immediately asked: "Mark, how is Alexander's situation this time?"

After hearing this, Mark Pias immediately turned his head and glanced at Alexander Pato who was lying on the hospital bed, and then said: "According to our data collection, his current physical condition is recovering very well. It won't take long, indeed. It’s time to resume training!”

Zhong Cheng felt much relieved after hearing this. This was much faster than previously expected.

Previously, Mark Pias and others predicted that Alexander Pato would be reimbursed this season. Now it is only February, and Alexander Pato will recover. This is indeed much faster.

Zhong Cheng is very satisfied with the work of the medical center. These people have helped their team a lot.

It seems that the establishment of this high-tech medical center is very worthwhile!

Zhong Cheng asked again: "Did this serious injury have any impact on Alexander's psychology?"

Mark Pias immediately said after hearing this: "Is the boss afraid that this serious injury will cause serious psychological damage to Alexander?"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, this was his biggest concern.

Mark Piaas frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I know Alexander is a very strong child, I think there should be no problem. Of course, I can't say for sure, we were hurt by a period of Only observation over time can reveal the problem!”

Zhong Cheng had also asked about this before. Mark Piaas had also asked Zhong Cheng this way before. Unexpectedly, Mark Piaas still answered like this now. This made Zhong Cheng a little dissatisfied.

Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Didn't you discover anything these days?"

Mark Pias immediately said: "There is a little discovery, but it is not completely certain yet. We still need more observations now!"

Zhong Cheng also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he also understood Mark Piaas.

Zhong Cheng patted Mark Pias on the arm and said, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now and my attitude was a bit wrong. Don't take it to heart!"

Mark Pias immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart!"

Zhong Cheng then said: "Thank you, please pay attention to Alexander's recent status. If you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible!"

Mark Pias immediately nodded and said: "I know, don't worry, boss!"

Zhong Cheng nodded to Mark Pias, and then returned to the hospital bed to chat with Alexander Pato for a few words, asking him to heal his injury without any psychological burden. Leeds United Club is waiting for his return. Then Zhong Cheng said goodbye to Alexander Pato and left the treatment center.

Walking out of the door of the treatment center, Zhong Cheng looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart: "I hope nothing will happen to Alexander!"

After saying that, Zhong Cheng walked towards the training base!

━━━Separating line━━━

On February 7, 2009, Leeds United continued their away trip to Bolton Wanderers.

Here, Leeds United take on Bolton Wanderers!

In this game, Zhong Cheng did not make any rotations, and fought with all the main players. Now is the time when Leeds United need to grab points, they can no longer afford to lose.

The Red Devils, Manchester United and Liverpool are both making great progress, and Zhong Cheng doesn't want to fall behind halfway.

In the match played the day before, Liverpool played Manchester City at home. They drew one to one, which gave Leeds United a chance.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng hopes that the team can win the game and get three points.

In this game, the Leeds United players played very well, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in very good shape now. It's as if he has superpowers after winning the Double Footballer Award. His scoring efficiency is astonishing.

In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored again.

This was a direct free kick opportunity, Gareth Bale set a screen for Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Cristiano Ronaldo scored a direct elevator ball into the Bolton goal.

However, Leeds United finally lost this game!

The final result is one to two!

In the 39th minute of the second half, in the penalty area, Luka Modric, who was actively replaying, accidentally blocked the football into his own goal and scored an own goal, helping the opponent equalize the score.

In the 44th minute of the second half, Leeds United players inadvertently opened their arms in defense and the football hit their hands. Although it was unintentional, it affected the trajectory of football. The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick. Bolton Wanderers beat Leeds United at the last minute.

After losing this game, Zhong Cheng was really speechless. It was very, very heartbreaking!

After this round of games, Leeds United dropped directly to fourth place in the league. Zhong Cheng was truly speechless. The more he wanted to win, the more problems would arise.

After this round of games, all the main players of Leeds United left the team. The Premier League has entered a short offseason, and the international match day has arrived.

However, Leeds United's game is not over. In the following weekend, Leeds United ushered in the FA Cup match. Leeds United faced Middlesbrough at home. Zhong Cheng arranged the young players to play this game.

In this game, Leeds United went all out, and more importantly, the leader was not Zhong Cheng, but Albertini. Zhong Cheng gave Albertini the opportunity to coach the first team in this FA Cup match.

To be honest, Albertini's performance was still very good. In this game, Leeds United tied Middlesbrough one to one at home.

Because there is no overtime or penalty kicks in the FA Cup, the match between the two teams will be replayed the next day.

Not to mention, there were quite a lot of draws in this round of the FA Cup. Four games were all tied, and they all had to be replayed the next day.

Of course, Zhong Cheng doesn't care about these, he only has experience to pay attention to their own team Leeds United now.
