Chapter 84: Entering the starting list
On the third day of the U20 echelon, Shi Hao sprained his ankle in a scramble during the group confrontation in the afternoon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Medical Director Mr. Comby informed Under-20 coach Cody and technical director Monty. Shi Hao's deltoid ligament contusion and fluid accumulation in his ankle will be absent for 7-10 days, depending on the body's ability to recover.
Monty was also quite helpless. Now is the critical period of Shi Hao's trial, and he is about to make an important assessment of Shi Hao, and Shi Hao's injury will make his assessment less precise.
Surprisingly, they saw Shi Hao reappear on the training ground the next day, and he walked without the slightest effect of injury.
"Hell," Cody yelled at Shi Hao, "can't you understand the team doctor?" 7-10 days of rest, what do you not understand about this sentence? No matter how unwilling you are, don't do this kind of thing that jeopardizes your sports career! A professional footballer must know how to protect his body! ”
"But sir," Shi Hao shrugged, "my wounds are healed. ”
Cody was a little angry, he had witnessed Shi Hao's injury, and in his experience, with the physique of a yellow race, he had to rest for at least half a month after suffering such an injury: "When do you get the report of the medical director approving your resumption of training, you will come here again." Now, get back to rest! ”
Shi Hao shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly turned around and walked towards the medical room.
An hour later, he appeared in front of Cody again with a certificate from Combi that he could resume training: "Sir, I have passed the inspection. ”
Cody took the report in shock. He believed that Shi Hao would not dare to fool him about this kind of thing, and that Combi would not be without professional ethics, but the words on the report did seem like a fantasy.
He had to force himself to read word by word in order to understand the meaning.
After just one night, the injury, which was originally estimated to take 7-10 days to recover, was gone.
Yes, completely gone, as if never injured, the deltoid ligament is normal, the effusion is gone, and the state of health can be given full marks.
"It's ...... It's ......" Cody looked at the report and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
If the injury is estimated to be 10 days and then recovered in 5 days, he can be considered to be a talented athlete; But it is estimated that the injury will be 10 days and the recovery will take one night? He felt that he should advise the Italian Academy of Life Sciences to dissect the man and investigate the cause of his anomaly.
He put Shi Hao aside and hurried to the infirmary, wanting to find out the truth from Combi himself.
……
"The truth is," Comby said as he stared at Cody from under his thick glasses, "maybe I made a mistake in my diagnosis yesterday, or maybe this guy is recovering amazingly, or maybe he's been dropped by aliens." Which truth are you willing to accept? ”
"Is that a misdiagnosis on your part?"
Comby pulls out an MRI picture from a drawer and throws it in front of Cody. "Look, he took it yesterday afternoon."
Cody frowned and looked at the photo and put it back on the table: "I will make the same judgment as you." ”
"And then this was just shot."
Cody looked closely, not missing a single detail. "That's right, it's been restored. It's incredible! ”
"I've heard stories like this before, and I've always thought it was just a legend." Comby shook his head, his eyes shining under the thick glasses, "I suggest signing this young man, and I will personally follow up when he is injured again in the future to understand his miraculous recovery ability." ”
"Magical restorative abilities?" Cody muttered to himself, "yes, it can only be described as magical." If Ronaldo had this resilience back then......"
"Then we won't have to wait until this year to win the treble."
In fact, Shi Hao was nothing more than a bottle of primary healing potion after a custom simulation match.
……
After this episode, Shi Hao was allowed to continue training with the team.
After the afternoon training, Cody couldn't wait to ask Shi Hao from the physical trainer Niccollet to report Shi Hao's physical condition data in the past few days.
Skimming over the curves and stats he couldn't understand, he jumped straight to the conclusion: "Physical fitness C-, training potential A-." ”
Physical fitness C- means that Shi Hao's current comprehensive physical fitness evaluation can barely be based on the professional league, but it is impossible to survive the high-intensity games and training throughout the season; Training potential A- means that Shi Hao still has a lot of room for growth, and can be improved through scientific training in a short period of time.
During the coaching staff's discussion, Cody read the report out and announced that he was ready to start Shi Hao in the Under-20s against Cesena two days later, on December 21.
"I agree, the Chinese guys are making rapid progress, and I have never seen anyone grow so much in three days." Bonazzoli was the first to vote in favor.
"I also want to see how well he distributes his fitness and uses his body wisely in official competitions." Nicolai said.
Assistant coach Sousa said: "Although there are still problems with his team-mates, I think he has adapted to our tactical system and is able to execute basic tactics. ”
Of course, the fact that these coaches approve or not does not affect Cody's decision, and the head coach has absolute authority over the line-up.
However, the unanimous approval of the coaching staff still gave Cody a reassurance. Although his fate is determined solely by his performance, as is the case with first-team managers, the main criterion for judging his performance is the success rate of his young players; But the results of leading the team are also related to his resume and future job opportunities.
In training on the morning of December 20, Cody arranged a 60-minute intra-team match and put Shi Hao on a yellow vest.
This signal is so obvious that Shi Hao's heart is full of joy, scoring a goal and an assist in the match, proving that he is fully worthy of this yellow vest.
At the end of afternoon training, Cody announced the squad for the next day's game, and Shi Hao really appeared in the main list. The U20 team continued to use the 442 formation of the first team, which is to allow the youth team players to have a good connection with the first team.
"Goalkeeper Wade. Belek, left-back Cristiano. Brigi, left centre-back Luka. Caldirola, right centre-back Davide. Faranori, right-back Donati, left-back Dennis. Alibec, right midfielder Allen. Stefanovic, midfielder Sebastian. Carlson and Daniel. Besa, striker Mattia. Destro, it's good. ”
"It's Shi Hao, sir," Shi Hao raised his head and corrected despite being excited to hear his name, "My name is pronounced Shi Hao." ”
Cody looked nonchalant: "I'm sorry. But I don't have a good memory, and only when you're good enough in training and in competitions will I remember the correct pronunciation of your name. In the world of professional football, everything speaks for itself. ”
"Yes, sir." Shi Hao didn't understand anything about it, but he still understood "speaking with strength".
Cody went on to read the next seven substitutes: "Alberto. Garineta, Christian. Daminuta, Phyllis. Natalino, Konas Murna, Lucas. Spenderhofer, Milan. Irasek, and Diam. ”
Players who are not in the 18-man squad are naturally frustrated, and players such as Natalino and Ilasek, who rarely appear in the squad, are elated by the possibility of playing.
Every teenager in this training camp dreams of playing and becoming famous, and they all came here after breaking through the countless football teenagers of their own age.
Only 10 per cent of the young players who have been trained at Inter Milan's 'football school' have made it to the Facchetti camp.
Only 20-25% of the players from the province of Milan who trained at the Facchetti camp made it to the Under-20 squad, only 30-35% of the players from Lombardy did make it to the Under-20 squad, and only 20-25% of the Italian players from outside the Lombardy region.
But the cruel thing is that, despite all the eliminations, less than half of them will actually become professional footballers, and the probability of becoming a top star is negligible.
Shi Hao just wants to compete with such a group of people, and when he can stand out, he can get a professional contract.
