Lin Hai listened to Tao and sincerely apologized!

Ibisevic's injury was quickly diagnosed, it was a groin injury, and it was quite serious, not the kind that can be healed after two to three weeks of rest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis thing is a chronic disease, once it is entangled, it is very troublesome, and if not handled properly, it will accompany the player for the rest of his career.

The team doctor at Hoffenheim advised Rangnick and Ibisevic that the injury was best treated with surgery.

And if surgery is confirmed, it means that Ibyshevic will not be able to play for the rest of the season, because he will be rested for at least three months after surgery.

Now is a crucial time for the team to compete for the league title, and the absence of the team's strongest firepower will definitely have a huge impact on the team's strength, and it is not clear what kind of impact it will have on the team's future.

As soon as Ibisevic heard that he was going to have surgery, he quit. He hopes to treat conservatively, at least let him catch up with the last two rounds of the league against Bayern Munich and Schalke 04, after playing Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim can meet the strongest opponents are these two teams, in the 31st round Hoffenheim's home opponent is Cologne, in the 32nd round, Hoffenheim away to Bielefeld, both teams are not strong, according to Hoffenheim's strength, they should win easily. If Wolfsburg hadn't lost by then, and the two sides were still separated by just one point, the final two league games would be a decisive match.

As a catch-up, Hoffenheim's first thing to do is to make sure they don't fall behind, and only by winning all the time can they keep the pressure on Wolfsburg and then expect them to make mistakes.

Ibisevic knows how critical this period is, so he doesn't want to have surgery.

After thinking about it for a long time, Rangnick felt that it would be better to let Ibisevic have surgery, because Ibisevic did not only play for one season at Hoffenheim, and if nothing else, the team will definitely qualify for the Champions League, and Hoffenheim will still rely on Ibisevic's scoring ability in Europe next season. If injuries are always with the striker, the team will suffer as well.

It's just that the players have to nod their heads to do such a thing, otherwise the manager has no right to force Ibisevic to undergo groin surgery.

At this time, Rangnick could only turn to Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic for help, because these two people are good friends of Ibisevic, Chu Zhongtian knew Ibisevic in Metz, and the two became friends almost as soon as they met, and Salihovic was Ibisevic's teammate in the national team, and now he is charging in Hoffenheim, so the relationship is naturally not ordinary.

Rangnick hopes that the two men can persuade Ibisevic to undergo surgery, even if he does not win the league title this season, which is already a success for promoted Hoffenheim. There is really no need to lose another general.

Coming out of Rangnick's office, Chu Zhongtian said to Salihovic: "I said let's just go see Ibi together." ”

Salihovich turned his head to look at him: "Are you sure?" ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "What needs to be determined here." We're all going to go anyway, so it's better to go together. How about tomorrow afternoon after training? ”

Salihovich thought for a moment and did not refuse his offer: "Okay. ”

After the next day's training, Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic hurried back to the locker room after signing the fans, changed their clothes and came to the parking lot.

"Take my car......" the two men said in unison.

Then they looked at each other, Chu Zhongtian smiled, and Salihovic pouted.

"Let's take my car." Chu Zhongtian opened the car door, and his car was next to him. Salihovich didn't shirk either, walked to the passenger seat, pulled the car door and sat down.

*※※Ibyšević's hospital is the Heidelberg University Hospital, which has one of the best medical specialties in Germany. Hoffenheim, close to Heidelberg, is close to the water, and if their players are injured, they will be sent here for treatment. Wellington, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament, was operated on here, and if Ibisevic had to have surgery, he would have done it here.

Outside the hospital, Salihovich got out of the car, Chu Zhongtian drove straight to the parking lot, and then the two met at the door of the hospital building, and Salihovich had an extra bouquet of flowers in his hand.

After asking for Ibisevic's ward number in the lobby downstairs, the two men took the elevator to the corresponding floor.

After getting off the elevator, Chu Zhongtian was about to walk to the ward where Ibisevic was, but was stopped by Salihovic.

"How are we going to persuade him in a moment?"

Chu Zhongtian looked back at Salihovic: "Just persuade like that." ”

"How to persuade?"

"Do you still have to make a draft? When the time comes, play on the spot. Chu Zhongtian shrugged. Come with me, leave it all to me. ”

He remembered something from six years ago.

When he was playing amateur football at Wimbledon, he had a friend Russell who didn't play and didn't know. Russell was the most skilled player on the team at the time, the first coach to teach him skills, and Russell has contributed a lot to his own today. But it was such a player who said goodbye to the green field forever because of injury.

In fact, even if there was no Rangnick to ask him, Chu Zhongtian had already made up his mind to visit Ibisevic, chat with him, and tell him Russell's story.

Salihovic didn't know how Chu Zhongtian was going to persuade him, but he couldn't come up with a better way, so he could only take one step at a time.

The two of them walked to the door of the ward, Chu Zhongtian raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then heard Ibisevic's voice coming from inside: "Please come in, the door is not locked." ”

As soon as they pushed the door, the two men saw Ibisevic sitting on the hospital bed.

Ibisevic was also taken aback when he saw that it was not doctors and nurses who came in, but Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic.

"Is that you?"

"What, aren't you welcome?" Chu Zhongtian greeted Ibisevic with a smile, while Salihovic inserted the bouquet into the vase.

"Everyone misses you, but they can't all come, and the hospital will be very troubled. So let's just get the two of them. Chu Zhongtian sat on the edge of the bed and said to Ibshevic.

When Salihovic heard Chu Zhongtian say this, he turned his head to look at him. The real situation is completely different from this, and everyone does care about Ibisevic's injury, but they don't let them represent the whole team.

"We said we were coming to see you during training, and we came in a hurry, so we bought a bouquet of flowers. How does it feel? Chu Zhongtian continued to lie.

Ibisevic forced a smile: "Not bad, I think maybe I will be able to play next week." ”

Chu Zhongtian also laughed: "Don't be funny, Ibi." Now the media is rumoring that you may be reimbursed for this season. ”

When Salihovic heard Chu Zhongtian say this, he was so anxious that he glanced at Chu Zhong's angel on the side, how could he say such a thing? Doesn't this add fuel to the fire of Ibisevic's bad mood?

Sure enough, hearing Chu Zhongtian say this, Ibisevic couldn't even force a smile, the smile on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a depressed face.

Chu Zhongtian pretended not to see Salihovic's eyes, and he asked Ibisevic: "What do you think of yourself?" ”

"Well, I'm sure I'll be able to catch the game against Bayern and Schalke......" Ibyshevic rephrased.

"Are you sure?" Chu Zhongtian stared at Ibisevic tightly, and suddenly exuded that aggressive momentum.

Under this momentum, Ibisevic didn't even dare to look at Chu Zhongtian, he lowered his eyelids: "I try to ...... before the game with Bayern"

Chu Zhongtian interrupted him unceremoniously: "I have a story, do you want to hear it, Yibi?" ”

"Is there a story about a player who was injured and then kept playing and ended his career early?" Ibshevic was a smart man, and he guessed what Chu Zhongtian's purpose in telling the story was.

"No, it's a story of a player who was injured and told he wouldn't be able to play anymore." Chu Zhongtian said expressionlessly. "I used to play in amateur teams, you know that." He glanced up at Salihovic, who was standing across from the bed.

It's no secret that any player has a resume, and there's no shame in playing amateur football, so Hoffenheim's teammates know about it.

"I have a good friend there who is very technical, even at the level of professional football. But his physical fitness is not good enough to meet the standards of professional football, so he can only play amateur football. Chu Zhongtian began to tell Russell's story.

"He used to be a player in the youth team of a professional football club, but now he can only play amateur football. He loves football and dreams of becoming a professional player one day. Then one day, because of his excellent performance, he was eyed by a team in the fifth division, in England, the team in the fifth division is only one level away from the professional league, and if he is promoted, even if he plays in the professional league, he can be considered a professional player. He made an agreement with the head coach of that team to move after playing the final games of the season. ”

Ibisevic and Salikhovic had never heard Russell's story, and they soon listened to it with relish.

Chu Zhongtian continued, and he also followed his story back to the time six years ago, which was a very simple and beautiful time, although there was no money, but it was very pure.

'Then he got injured in a game, quite a serious injury. I went to see him in the hospital with his friend, just like I did to see you today, Ibi. I gave him his favorite chocolate and I thought he would be back on the pitch when he was well. We didn't expect to see him again to say goodbye to us, because his injury prevented him from playing anymore. ”

Chu Zhongtian said very calmly, but Salihovic and Ibisevic were surprised because of their devotion to listening.

"Then he went to the United States to study, and I went to Mace." Chu Zhongtian spread out his hand. "That's the story."

"That's it?" Ibisevic seems to be looking forward to what follows.

"Hmm." Chu Zhongtian nodded. "What else? He couldn't play anymore, so he chose to go the other way, and there are a lot of things like that, especially in the amateur league, where my former teammates and now a lot of people have found a job and lived a normal life except for playing Sunday league every Sunday afternoon. That good friend of mine was irretrievable. Ibi, but you have. Don't hurt your entire career for the sake of one season. ”

"But now is the sprint stage to win the championship, and it is very crucial......"

"Aren't we still there?" Chu Zhongtian pointed to himself and Salihovic, who had been silent. "Hoffenheim are a unit, what do you want the rest of your teammates to do, Iby?"

Ibisevic also realized that he always felt that the idea that he couldn't play without the team was wrong, and he lowered his head.

"Don't worry about the surgery, and then heal the injury, we are waiting for you. Leave it to us this season, you just have to think about next season and then we'll go to Europe, this time it's not the UEFA Cup, Ibi. It's the Champions League, there will be stronger opponents, and we won't be without you when the time comes. Compared with those strong teams in Europe, the opponents of the Bundesliga, we are enough to deal with, haha! ”

Chu Zhongtian patted Ibisevic's shoulder.

After Ibisevic heard Chu Zhongtian say this, he was silent.

Chu Zhongtian didn't continue to talk about this issue, he knew that what he needed to say had already been said, and he couldn't control what Ibi would think.

He and Salikhovich sat for a while, then got up and took their leave, and outside the window it was already golden, and the setting sun was hanging in the western sky.

"After four league games, wait for our good news, Ibi." Before leaving, Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to Ibisevic.

※※※On the way home, Salihovic asked: "What is your best friend who said goodbye to football doing now?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't know, there is no contact anymore......"

yes, today's events suddenly reminded him of Russell again, and he didn't know what that kid was doing now...... In the United States or back in the United Kingdom? Took over his father's business? Or is it to be at ease somewhere where with beautiful women? Is he saying goodbye to football for good?

Suddenly remembered that the group of friends of the crazy gang had not been in touch for a long time. He's had a busy season, and he's been so desperate to prove his choice right that he's forgotten to contact his former friends. I don't know if I will be scolded for being unkind...... Now he makes more money and is more famous, but he neglects to keep in touch with his former friends, and even if he is really thought so, he can't refute it.

The season went all the way forward, and with only four league games left to go, he realized that he had missed a lot along the way. It wasn't like that when he was in Metz, football was good, life was just as good.

He was thinking that even if he was going to play in the Champions League next season, he wouldn't rush forward with his head buried in this way, he would have to enjoy his life to the fullest.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Chu Zhongtian opened up his impression. A German song rang out.

This is the German singing superstar Javier. The Road (dieser_weg) by Nadeau (xavier_naidoo). This song was recommended by Beck in the team after Chu Zhongtian came to Germany. I liked it as soon as I heard it, so the album of this song has been kept in his car stereo and is a repertoire.

Nado's soul-like singing rang out in the closed carriage.

"I'm on this long road, and this road leads to myself. The song you sang last night echoed in my heart. It only took a few steps for me to get there. The key to open this door is in my hands......"

"Can we really win the league?" Salihovich, who was listening to the music, suddenly asked another question.

Chu Zhongtian hummed softly along with the music while driving, and when he heard Salihovic's question, he nodded: "Yes." The answer was crisp.

"Wolfsburg are still one step ahead of us, and Bayern and Schalke 04 are not easy to play."

"Bremen and Stuttgart are not easy for Wolfsburg either. Everyone has a chance, it's up to who can make it to the end. ”

"I thought you were comforting Victor to say that......"

"Nope." Chu Zhongtian turned his face and gave Salihovic a smile: "I'm serious." I've never made a joke, whether on that TV show or at the German Sports Awards of the Year or at Ibisevic's bedside today. ”

Salihovich didn't say anything more, while Chu Zhongtian continued to hum his song.

“…… Some trample on you, some love you, some give up on yourself for you, and some bless you. When the storm roars at sea, don't lower the sails you are going...... It's not an easy road, and it's going to be a difficult and rubble ride. There will be no one to walk with you, you will go on your own road, but it is in this way that life will be richer...... This road, such a road, will be difficult and rubble-strewn on the way. There will be no one to walk with you, you will go on your own road, but it is in this way that life will be richer......"

In the midst of the song, Chu Zhongtian's car drove on the highway in the direction of Sinsheim.

*※※Three days later, Ibisevic underwent groin surgery at the University Hospital Heidelberg. The operation went well, and if nothing else, he will be recuperated for three months.

Although the race for the Bundesliga title is in full swing, his 2008-2009 Bundesliga season has ended early.

Ibisevic's surgery also means that he will definitely not be able to play for Hoffenheim this season, as the team's top scorer and the current top scorer in the Bundesliga, it is unclear what impact his absence will have on Hoffenheim.

The next round against Cologne is a good opportunity to observe. After the absence of the most powerful player, will Hoffenheim really fall into a quagmire or even a total collapse after Ibisevic's injury, as some media have speculated?

The next league fixture is the 31st round of the Bundesliga season, with Hoffenheim hosting less favourable Cologne and Wolfsburg away to Stuttgart, who are currently fifth and have a strong chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
