Chapter 144 Li Qingqing, Don't Cry!
Three days after playing Yunshan Caiyun at home, on Sunday afternoon, Anton Shining Star ushered in another powerful team, Chuannan Chongshan at home.
Although it was a home game, the Flash Star players were very tired because of the double matches in the previous three weeks, and they just played 1:1 with their opponents with all their strength at home.
Considering that Chuannan Chongshan is the second-ranked team, it is already very good for Shining Star to get a draw at home despite the team's poor state.
Hu Lai scored the only goal of Flash Star in this game, which is the biggest contributor to helping the team draw with the opponent at home.
This goal also continued his excellent state-he has scored in each of the last three league games, and scored five goals in three games. The state is really good.
On the following Wednesday, May 3rd, Shining Star will go away to play Wuzhou Dongshan.
The opponent in this game will be much weaker. Even if it is an away game, even if it is a mid-week game, I believe that the strength of Shining Star can win the opponent.
After this game, the league will usher in a two-and-a-half-month offseason. In order to make way for the next Asian Cup, the Chinese Premier League and Super League are all suspended, and they will restart after the Asian Cup is over.
Of course, in addition to the Asian Cup this summer, there is another football event, but the attention is much less.
That is the Women's World Cup.
※※※
Cheers came from the stands of the stadium. As a women's football super league, the number of fans present today is quite large. At least half of the people are sitting in the south stand of the stadium facing the coach's bench. They put the front half of the stand Portions were almost filled.
Because today's game has Li Qingqing.
Most of them came to watch Li Qingqing play football.
Someone in the stands held Li Qingqing's posters and light signs to cheer her on.
As soon as Li Qingqing catches the ball, they will stand up and cheer.
Watch her dribble, dodge, pass, shoot...watch her laugh and run to her teammates and hug them.
The lighting of the stadium seems to be able to automatically track the target, giving people the illusion that she is playing under the spotlight.
She was the only protagonist on the entire court, and everyone else was hidden in the darkness where the light could not shine.
Yang Mingwei sat on the sidelines on the coach's bench, admiring Li Qingqing's performance.
This is the last round of the Chinese Women's Football Super League before the Women's World Cup. After the match, Li Qingqing and her teammates will go to the capital to gather for training and prepare for the Women's World Cup in England in June.
This is the first time for Li Qingqing to participate in the World Cup. Yang Mingwei believes that the whole world will see Li Qingqing's strength for the first time and be impressed by her talent.
After the World Cup is over, the country will not be able to keep her. It is meaningless for her to stay in China. She must go to a bigger stage, go to Europe where women's football is more professional, grow there, and release her talents to the fullest...to win more attention for the Chinese women's football team.
This is the blueprint that Yang Mingwei had been looking forward to in his heart after many phone calls with Li Ziqiang.
A female football player with a good image and ability like Li Qingqing, going to play in Europe will definitely bring everyone's attention to women's football to a new level, which will also help the further development of women's football in China.
The power of idols is infinite.
In Yang Mingwei's opinion, Li Qingqing is the best football idol.
He looked at Li Qingqing who caught the ball and turned to wipe away the defender, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
But at this moment, the perfect football idol in his eyes had just thrown the football out and was about to speed up the sprint when he suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground!
The goddess who should not be stained in everyone's mind was rolling on the turf, the jersey and body were covered with mud and grass clippings.
※※※
Luo Kai, who was watching the Women's Football Super League broadcast in front of the TV, stood up suddenly from the sofa when Li Qingqing fell to the ground.
He stared closely at the pained Li Qingqing in the TV broadcast,
Unaware that he was stunned and panicked.
He wanted to rush out the door, but stopped as soon as he turned around—where was he going when he rushed out?
This game was played in Shanhai City, and he is now in Lingnan City, the two are separated by thousands of miles, separated by high mountains.
He sat down again, praying that nothing would happen to Li Qingqing.
On the TV, the commentator's voice was surprised: "...Li Qingqing suddenly fell down without physical contact, as if she was injured!"
※※※
Hu Lai only found out about Li Qingqing's injury when he came back from playing a football game with Wang Guangwei in Zhang Qinghuan's room.
Wang Guangwei, who was still swiping his phone, told him.
"Fuck me, Li Qingqing was injured?!" Wang Guangwei exclaimed at that time.
Hu Lai was still joking: "Old Wang, don't keep talking like this next time, it's easy...what the fuck are you talking about?"
It was only halfway through the joke that he realized that Wang Guangwei had just said that Li Qingqing was injured.
"Didn't you keep talking..." Wang Guangwei protested.
Hu Lai ignored him, took out his mobile phone, and originally wanted to ask Li Qingqing directly on WeChat, but glanced at Wang Guangwei who was standing next to him and looked at him, so he opened the "Goal" website again.
Sure enough, as soon as I clicked in, I saw the news on the home page.
"Suddenly! Li Qingqing suffered a muscle strain during the game and couldn't persist in the game!"
He froze.
※※※
"Dad, don't worry...it's been checked, everything's fine..."
Before Li Qingqing finished speaking, he took the phone away from his ear, grinning his teeth, and his father's growling voice came from the receiver of the phone: "The muscle in the back of the thigh is strained, tell me it's okay." ? Are you pulling a muscle or a brain?!"
"Dad..." Li Qingqing was very helpless, as soon as Dad became anxious, he would talk nonsense. "It's really no big deal, at most it's just a month and a half of rest, if you're lucky, maybe a month will be fine..."
After she finished speaking, she immediately put the phone away, and sure enough, her father's roar came from the receiver: "What a fart! Next is the national team training camp, and then the World Cup... At this time, the muscle is strained, and it is the muscle in the back of the thigh. Injury, are you still going to the training camp? The World Cup is still..."
Roaring and roaring, Li Ziqiang's voice on the other end of the phone quieted down. He seemed to realize that it would be useless for him to get angry here, so he sighed: "Alas——"
"dad……"
"Does it hurt?" Li Ziqiang asked suddenly.
"It doesn't hurt." Li Qingqing said with a smile.
"It doesn't hurt!" Li Ziqiang's voice rose again. "A muscle strain doesn't hurt, you think I don't understand anything?"
Then he quickly lowered the volume again, and said in a soft tone as much as possible: "Don't think about the World Cup, do you hear me? Don't rush to come back just because you want to play in the World Cup. If you don't recover from an injury like a muscle strain, there will be endless troubles... …I can’t play this World Cup, and there will be another one. But if you don’t recover well from the strain this time, it will be very troublesome…”
"I know, Dad, don't worry, I won't force myself."
Li Ziqiang sighed: "Injury is a professional player's partner, Qingqing, don't be too depressed..."
"Dad, I think you are more depressed than me?" Li Qingqing smiled.
"stop laughing?"
"Didn't you tell me not to get too upset, Dad?"
"..." Li Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, then sighed again, he sighed a lot today. "Okay, you have a good rest."
After hanging up the phone call with her father, Li Qingqing lay on the bed and looked at the direction of her right leg. The injured leg is now suspended. This is also one of the treatment methods. Immediately after the strain, apply cold compresses and elevate the affected limb.
It's not good that Dad is a professional, and he can't be fooled. It's impossible to make him not worry.
How can a muscle strain not hurt?
The strain on her right leg hurts like hell right now.
At the moment of the strain, when I think about it now, it seems that there was a buckle on the back of the thigh, and suddenly there was a click, and the buckle opened, and then she lost her entire right leg, and then there was a heart-wrenching pain. pain.
In fact, Li Qingqing is used to the physical pain now, but when she thinks that she may miss all the pre-World Cup training of the national team because of this strain, and may miss this World Cup because of this, her heart hurts more than her body.
How can a person who likes football be indifferent to the World Cup?
She has been preparing for this World Cup for so long, so she looks forward to standing on the stage of the World Cup and showing herself to the world... Now, there is a snap.
Li Qingqing felt very wronged, why did he get injured in the last league game before the World Cup? Dad was right, injury is the partner of a professional player, but this partner has just finished the East Asian Cup a few months ago, Li Qingqing would not be so sad.
She will patiently follow the instructions of her father and doctors, take a good rest, recuperate, and receive physical therapy. She will never take the risk of playing until her body fully recovers.
but now……
When Li Qingqing felt that the pillow on the side of her face was wet, she realized that her tears flowed out at some point.
When she realized this, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, but she just wiped them from one side to the other.
Li Qingqing, don't cry!
She said to herself in her heart.
Don't cry!
You swore before your mother's spirit, don't be a crying girl again! Don't let Dad worry about you anymore!
She tried her best to hold back the tears, but it was in vain. Her body was shaking slightly, but the tears still couldn't stop pouring out.
Don't cry! don't cry...don't cry...
Li Qingqing bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched until her knuckles turned white.
It really hurts, Mom, it really hurts...
At this moment, the mobile phone on the bed suddenly rang loudly!
※※※
Hu Lai seldom calls Li Qingqing, because he thinks it is more convenient to use WeChat to contact Li Qingqing. After all, there is no way to post emoticons on the phone, right?
Now he felt that it was far better to call Li Qingqing directly than to find Li Qingqing on WeChat, because he could hear her voice.
But the phone he dialed was hung up by Li Qingqing.
He stared at the phone in a daze for a few seconds, and rarely called Li Qingqing, but was hung up after one call?
Just when he was about to call again, a new WeChat message popped up.
Li Qingqing: "Someone is here, wechat said."
He flicked his fingers quickly and typed on the virtual keyboard: "Where are you now?"
"In the hospital. Did you see the news?"
Almost at the same time as she sent this news, Hu Lai's second sentence also jumped out: "I saw the news."
Then came the third sentence: "Is it painful?"
Li Qingqing looked at the words that popped up one after another, hesitated for a while, and chose an emoji with a smile on her face from her saved WeChat emoticons and sent it out: "It's okay!"
Then she typed again: "The doctor checked and said that it will be enough to rest for a month and a half at most. It's nothing serious. It's a common strain."
"Retreat for a month and a half before the World Cup begins, right?"
"That's the worst case. What if I recover in a month? Can't I catch up with the World Cup?" Li Qingqing comforted Hu Lai, and he was also comforting himself.
After she finished speaking, Hu Lai did not respond. Li Qingqing waited for more than ten seconds, but there was still no news.
She sighed softly, as expected, even Hu Lai couldn't be fooled by such nonsense...
Then she complained again in her heart: Oh, you pretended to be deceived, and just follow my words, can't you?
Li Qingqing was about to put the phone aside, when there was a ding dong, and Hu Lai threw a long sentence over: "Uh, it's like this... I happen to have a bottle of ointment here that can help the recovery of muscle strain , It was formulated by an old Chinese medicine doctor. I knew him when I was young. We have a very good relationship, which can be called a friendship. He knew that I played professional football, so he contacted me and sent me a bottle of this ointment... He It is said that this ointment is very effective. As long as it is applied to the injured area and massaged every day, it can greatly shorten the recovery time of the injured. Although I have never used it, I especially believe him, because I used to have any headaches. He cured me. So I want to give you this ointment, maybe it can help you recover before the World Cup?"
Li Qingqing laughed after seeing such a long paragraph of words. Although there were still tears on her face, she replied with a smile on her eyes: "Hu Lai, your method of comforting people is really unique, and you even make up stories..."
"It's not making up a story! It's true! I really have an old Chinese doctor who never made friends with me! Of course he's retired now and doesn't like to show his face, but his medical skills are really superb!" Hu Lai explained.
"Okay, thank you, Holly!"
"Accept this ointment and thank me, otherwise I won't accept it!"
Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai's words on the phone, not knowing how to answer him.
But Hu Lai continued: "I'm serious, Li Qingqing! This ointment is really effective, and that old Chinese doctor is really powerful! Besides, it's always right to try it? It won't make your situation worse. Get worse?"
Seeing Hu Lai's resolute words, she hesitated and replied, "Okay, but how will you give it to me? Send it by express?"
"No, I'll send it to you."
"send over?"
"Well, this ointment is very small, and it's very rare, so I don't worry about sending it by express."
"You want to come?"
"Can't you?"
"But how did you come here..."
"I've seen it. The next round of our league is to play Wuzhou Dongshan away. Wuzhou is next to Shanhai. We have to fly to Shanhai and then take the high-speed train to the away game. After the game, I will ask Director Zhao Fake, just turn to you." Hu Lai obviously had a plan.
"Wednesday afternoon, after the Wuzhou Dongshan fight, I will come to you and give you the ointment."
Li Qingqing stared at Hu Lai's plan, her red eyes widened from crying, and the tears on her face were reflected in the light, shining brightly.
※※※
Hu Lai put down the phone and looked at a thing in his hand that looked like an ointment.
[Recovery Ointment]: Applying the ointment to the muscle strain can slightly reduce the sequelae of the muscle strain and greatly shorten the recovery time.
Note: Use one bottle at a time, the effect cannot be superimposed. Can be used by others.
This is the "miracle medicine" that Hu Lai decided to mix and make for Li Qingqing's mysterious grandfather.
It is one of the rewards for completing tasks after winning the East Asian Cup.
In addition to this ointment, there are 100,000 points, ten bottles of [Physical Strength Potion], two [Intermediate Training Scroll: Shooting] and two [Intermediate Training Scroll: Strength], and two bottles of [Strength Potion of Wisdom].
[Potent Potion of Wisdom] He used up a bottle when he returned to the club, and the six-month validity period has not expired yet. He kept the remaining bottle as useless, and decided to use it immediately after the effect of this bottle disappeared.
Anyway, he still has a training scroll, which can also improve the training effect.
And the remaining bottle of [Strength Potion of Wisdom] is just for precaution.
Hu Lai always does this. He didn't rush to use the [broken giant bear leg guard] after he got it, so he put it in the warehouse. Didn't it come in handy in the East Asian Cup match against South Korea? ?
If he had used it up early, he might have been seriously injured in that game.
It was also for this reason that Hu Lai just put it in the warehouse after seeing the never-before-appeared [Recovery Ointment] rewarded by the mission.
Didn't expect this to come in handy.
After knowing that Li Qingqing had a muscle strain, he immediately thought of this bottle of [Recovery Ointment] which happens to be effective only for muscle strain. Originally, I kept it for myself to be prepared, but now I don't need to keep it, I just give it to Li Qingqing.
He didn't know how much this thing could shorten the recovery period after a muscle strain, but the adjective "significantly" was obviously not something the system casually said. Just like the "extremely large" in the description of [Broken Giant Bear Legguards], Hu Lai personally verified that this "extremely large" can directly eliminate a serious injury that may cause him to be absent for more than half a year. up.
Thinking about it, even if the "substantial shortening" of [Recovery Ointment] can't allow Li Qingqing to use it the first day, she will be alive and well the next day, as long as it can speed up her recovery period, even ten days and a half months earlier, it would be a good thing.
If you can catch up with the tail of the last training camp before the World Cup, you will be able to catch up with the World Cup.
Hu Lai has seen many cases of missing the World Cup due to injuries, and he does not want Li Qingqing to become one of these embarrassing examples.
Go to the World Cup!
That is the World Cup that countless people dream of!
