Chapter 23: Strength and Vulnerability
At the entrance of the school infirmary of Mingyang High School, all the members of Yuying Middle School were surrounded here. The school doctor www.biquge.info Pen&Fun&Pavilion diagnosed Zhang Shujie and judged it to be a traumatic injury, although the ankle was a little swollen, but it was not serious, it did not hurt the bones, and it would be fine after a period of rest.
An Rong asked, "How long do you need to rest?"
The school doctor said, "Judging from his injuries, he can walk like a normal person in about five days." ā
"What if you want to play?"
"If you play football, it can take almost two weeks. ā
This means that Zhang Shujie will not only not be able to play in the second half, but will also have to rest for the next game.
Zhang Shujie sat on the chair, saw that everyone's expressions were a little gloomy, and comforted: "It's okay, it's not just two weeks." Without me, I'm sure everyone would have won. ā
The words are light, but everyone knows that Zhang Shujie's absence will directly lead to the paralysis of the frontcourt firepower of Yuying Middle School, and it is still a question of whether he can score goals.
It's no wonder that everyone is worried, Yuying Middle School has played two and a half games, scoring a total of eight goals, Zhang Shujie contributed six, and there are two assists. From this string of data, it is not difficult to see what a terrible thing it will be once Zhang Shujie is unable to play.
An Rong looked at the players standing behind him, as a coach, he can't be as pessimistic as these young players, at least not on his face. He told everyone: "Don't worry too much, we're two goals ahead now, and the task in the second half is for us to stabilize the situation first and not concede any more goals. ā
Zhang Shujie also said: "Yes, as long as we keep the score, we can win." Don't forget, we have the defender Yan Tao here. In the next game, no matter who the opponent is, if you stick with it a little longer, I will be able to get back on the pitch. ā
Liu Fang, as the captain, should take the lead: "Everyone, no matter what, we can't lose this game, otherwise Zhang Shujie will be injured in vain, everyone must cheer up." ā
The three of you said a word, which also restored everyone's fighting spirit on the court, and they all said that they must repay Zhang Shujie with victory.
The school doctor in the infirmary, as a person from Mingyang High School, was inevitably uncomfortable when he heard these words, but he couldn't show it, so he had to say: "You can go down if you have nothing to do, and don't disturb the rest of the injured." ā
An Rong nodded and looked at Zhang Shujie: "You have a good rest, don't think about the game." looked at Wang Shihan again: "You stay with him, so that you can take care of him." ā
Wang Shihan said "um", but Zhang Shujie objected: "What about the news shooting in the second half? She is our accompanying reporter." ā
"News shooting?" An Rong said with a wry smile: "The biggest news of this game is that you are injured. Okay, don't say more, I've already decided, let Wang Shihan stay with you, if you want to buy water or something, she can also help you. ā
An Rong didn't wait for Zhang Shujie to speak, and said to the player: "Let's go, let's go back." ā
Everyone left one after another, and soon only Wang Shihan and Zhang Shujie were left. The school doctor was also busy with his own business after dressing Zhang Shujie with medicine.
Zhang Shujie looked at his bandaged right foot, stunned. Wang Shihan could probably guess what he was thinking, so he didn't bother him and let him think about it himself.
After a moment, Zhang Shujie sighed, and Wang Shihan asked, "What?"
"Nothing. ā
"Are you thinking that you can't play, a little regretful?"
"Can you guess that?"
"You're so obvious that anyone who isn't blind can see it. ā
"Really? I thought I was well hidden. ā
Wang Shihan smiled and didn't speak again. Originally, she wanted to show the photos she took to Zhang Shujie, but she felt that it was inappropriate. Zhang Shujie can't continue to play football in a short period of time, and if he sees a photo of him running on the pitch before, I'm afraid it will make him feel uncomfortable.
Wang Shihan sat across from him, wanting to chat with him to distract him, but he didn't know what to talk about. The two haven't known each other for a long time, and they don't know each other very well, so they can't find too many topics to talk about.
The scene began to fall silent.
"Wang Shihan. Zhang Shujie suddenly shouted.
"Well, yes. Wang Shihan responded.
Zhang Shujie asked: "I have a question that I am a little curious about and want to ask you." ā
"Okay, you ask. ā
"Why do you watch football as a girl?"
"Girls can't watch football, there are a lot of female fans, right?"
"I know that. I often know some female fans in major forums on the Internet. ā
"Then why are you still asking such stupid questions?"
"I've only seen it on the Internet, and I've never encountered it around me. ā
"Didn't meet any of them?"
"No, from childhood to adulthood, none of the girls I know watch football. In their eyes, football is just a boring game of 22 people grabbing a ball. ā
Wang Shihan smiled: "It's just a personal hobby. For example, some of the boys around me have a lot of people who like football, and there are many people who don't like football. ā
Zhang Shujie also smiled and said: "Yes, it's just a hobby." It's like when I got to high school, I actually met two girls who watched football, and for you, it's just your hobby. ā
"Yes, I watch football because I love football. ā
"Actually, that's enough. ā
"Hmm. And a lot of kickers, they look good. ā
"I know that, I play football myself. ā
"Eh, you don't think I'm talking about you, do you?"
"That's what I thought. ā
"Stinky beauty!"
"Haha!" Zhang Shujie laughed. Wang Shihan said: "To be serious, I really appreciate the release of those players on the field. ā
Zhang Shujie didn't understand: "Release, release what?"
"I don't know how to explain it. In the early days, I didn't like to watch football, and I always felt that I couldn't score a few goals in a 90-minute game, and it was very boring to watch. But slowly, under my father's influence, I realized that I had all the wrong ideas. ā
Zhang Shujie became interested: "Can you tell me more carefully?"
Wang Shihan nodded and said, "Yes." I think a man who plays football should be a person who belongs to two extremes. ā
"Extreme?" Zhang Shujie was confused: "What do you mean by 'two extremes'?"
Wang Shihan explained: "I think footballers are the strongest people, but at the same time, they are the most vulnerable people. ā
"What do you mean by that?"
"You should know that injuries are a common occurrence for footballers. Many players were injured so badly that they broke bones, torn ligaments, or even splattered blood on the spot, but they didn't cry out in pain, let alone shed a single tear. At Euro 2000, there was also the case of Stam getting stitches on the spot without anesthetics. Are these athletes strong, you say?"
Zhang Shujie touched his chin and agreed with her in his heart: "It makes sense." And what about fragility?
"It's simple. The victory or defeat of a crucial game, a ticket to the World Cup, a wave of goodbye can bring tears to the eyes of a dignified man. They are not afraid of injury, they are not afraid of pain, but when they lose a game that they can't lose, when they can't participate in the World Cup, when they stand on the pitch for the last time, how many don't shed tears?"
After listening to Wang Shihan's words, Zhang Shujie didn't know how to reply for a while.
He never thought of it, he played because of his obsession with football, he liked the feeling of putting the ball in the opposition goal, it was hard to put into words. Only the person who scores the goal knows what that feeling is.
As a girl, Wang Shihan only watches the ball but does not play football, and the ball game she watches may not have Zhang Shujie. But it is such a girl, but she can understand such a deep meaning in this man's sport, Zhang Shujie himself is a little ashamed.
"Ha!" Zhang Shujie laughed dryly: "I didn't expect you to say so much truth, I didn't expect so much." ā
"It's normal, boys are usually very aggressive, especially boys who love sports, and their minds are no more delicate than girls. ā
Zhang Shujie smiled again: "You see that I am also a strong person, right? ā
Wang Shihan smiled: "Yes." Hopefully you can keep winning and don't let me see when you're vulnerable. ā
"No, no, I'm going to win all the time! I'm aiming for the national competition, but I'm trying to know what is at hand. ā
"What's the problem?"
"The problem with the game! the second half should have begun, right?"
Wang Shihan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "It's almost there, there are still three minutes." ā
"Let's hope they can hold on to the 2-0 scoreline. ā
"Isn't there Yan Tao?"
But Yuan Hong, the captain of Mingyang High School, didn't play in the first half, so I don't know if he will play in the second half. Although we have Yan Tao, if Yuan Hong plays, Yan Tao will still have a little hard work. ā
Wang Shihan glanced at him: "Are you all decorations for other team members?" Okay, let's not talk about that, you can take care of your injuries." Do you want to drink water? After all that, you're thirsty, right?"
Zhang Shujie pursed his lips: "A little." ā
"Then I'll go buy it, what kind of water do you want to drink?"
"Mineral water will do it to quench your thirst. ā
Wang Shihan bought him water, Zhang Shujie took it, unscrewed the cap, and drank a third of it in one go.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shihan felt that chatting with Zhang Shujie could really only talk about football. They go from stars to teams, from the Euros to the World Cup. Zhang Shujie found that Wang Shihan knows a lot about football, in addition to some football history in the fifties and sixties, she basically knows the records of big-name stars and major well-known teams in recent years.
Wang Shihan tried not to talk to Zhang Shujie about this game, so as not to make him worry about his inability to play. The teenager and girl talked for about 20 minutes, and Zhang Shujie gradually became a little restless.
Wang Shihan saw that something was wrong: "Is your foot very painful?"
Zhang Shujie shook his head: "No." ā
"Then why do you keep moving around?"
Zhang Shujie opened his mouth to speak, and Wang Shihan asked: "If you need help, just say it." ā
"You can't help me with that. ā
"If you don't tell me, how do you know I can't help you?"
"I ......" Zhang Shujie said a word, and then stopped talking.
Wang Shihan said: "A big boy, how can he talk and spit out? ā
"IāI want to go to the toilet. ā
As soon as Zhang Shujie's words came out, Wang Shihan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It's really hard for her to help.
"You...... You are...... Hmm......" Her expression was a little strange, and Zhang Shujie looked at it for a while before she understood what she wanted to express.
"Oh, I'm peeing, not big. ā
Such a direct answer made Wang Shihan even more embarrassed, she was thinking, it would be nice if the school doctor was a man.
Zhang Shujie also knew that she was very embarrassed, and he was not reluctant: "In this way, you can help me ask a boy to help me outside." ā
Wang Shihan pointed to the playground: "Do you see anyone outside?"
Zhang Shujie poked his head out and looked over, the playground was empty, not to mention people, there was not a single ghost.
"It's a strange thing, isn't there a class in PE?"
"It's Saturday, where is the PE class? Even if there are other boys on the playground, they will know that we are students of Yuying Middle School when they look at your jersey, do you think the people from Mingyang High School will help us at this special juncture today?"
Zhang Shujie scratched his head: "It's really indifferent." Forget it, I'll go myself. As he spoke, he stood up.
Wang Shihan got up and helped him: "I'll help you go, what should you do if you fall?"
Zhang Shujie pouted: "I will actually have today, let a girl help me go to the toilet, or go to the men's toilet." ā
Wang Shihan asked the location of the school doctor's toilet, and helped Zhang Shujie to walk out cautiously. Because he was worried that he would not have enough strength and would not be able to hold him steadily, he put Zhang Shujie's arm on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to wrap around his waist, so that he would not fall.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Shujie said to the sky in the distance: "God, please testify for me." ā
Wang Shihan didn't understand why he said such a clueless sentence: "What testimony?"
"Let God prove that I didn't mean to take advantage of you! But I don't know if you deliberately took advantage of me. ā
"You ......" Wang Shihan didn't know what words to use to describe this boy, but said: "Look at your majestic appearance on the court, it turns out that you are also a flamboyant guy." Who did you learn this from?"
"This still needs to be learned, it's the nature of men!"
"Well, if you dare to show your 'nature' in front of me again, I'll leave you here and leave you alone. ā
"Don't, don't, what if you throw me here and I can't hold back my pants?"
Wang Shihan couldn't say anything about him: "Don't be poor, let's go." ā
Zhang Shujie smiled, and with the support of Wang Shihan, he slowly walked to the bathroom.
