David Silva was half-lying on the bed, staring at the hanging right leg, a low look written on his face, and the pain and worry were evident in the corners of his eyes.

Thinking back to the moment he fell to the ground on the court, he felt like the whole world was dark.

Injury, the word is the worst enemy of all professional footballers.

Silva has also been injured before, but he has not suffered too serious injuries, most of them are small injuries such as sprained feet and swollen calves, and he can fully recover in a week or two, but this time it is definitely different, because he can feel that his leg injury is very serious.

The doctor has already been here once.

David Silva opened his mouth several times to ask about his injury, but in the end he didn't ask.

He didn't have the courage.

He was afraid that the doctor would tell the desperately bad news.

This kind of thing, often the player himself does not take the initiative to ask, and the doctor will not take the initiative to say it, so he has been stuffed in the hospital room, thinking about his leg injury, thinking that he will not be able to play for a long time, thinking that he will lose his form after recovery, etc., these thoughts make him feel even more desperate.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a figure in a crisp suit walked in, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and smiling with a good smile.

David Silva raised his head suspiciously, only to find that it was Wan Sheng who came, he thought that Wan Sheng should be in the stadium at this time, but he didn't expect to come to the hospital to visit him.

He was taken aback by Wan Sheng's arrival.

"How does it feel, David?" Wan Sheng asked with concern.

Silva hurriedly replied, "No, it's nothing, I just don't feel it here." He pointed to his dangling calf and said worriedly like a child.

Wan Sheng smiled, "Of course, the doctor gave you an anesthetic just now, and it still works!" ”

David Silva nodded stunned. Suddenly asked, "Then do you know how my leg hurts?" ”

"You don't know?" Wan Sheng asked strangely.

"I didn't ask." David Silva bowed his head a little embarrassed and added, "I don't dare ask." ”

He really wanted to know the specific situation of the leg injury, but he was afraid that the doctor would give a desperate answer, but seeing Wan Sheng's smiling face, he felt that it should not be too serious, so he had the courage to ask.

Wan Sheng looked at David Silva and nodded understandingly.

The Spanish boy in front of him is not as strong as he seems, and he can come to England alone. But that doesn't mean he can face the first serious injury of his career.

So Wan Sheng said seriously, "David, you have to be brave, just like on the court." Think about the last round against Chelsea, you were the best on the pitch, better than everyone else, and think about how many fans were calling your name at the time! ”

Thinking back to that game, David Silva also has some pride on his face.

"I dare say. You are a genius, but genius is not only talented, but also has perseverance, courage, and other personal qualities. That's true genius. Wan Sheng continued, "You have a lot of talent, you train weekdays, and now the only thing you lack is courage!" Yes. You need courage! ”

"You have to have the courage to face any game, any challenge, but also to have the courage to face some bad things. Like now, you're injured and you need to have the courage to face the injury because that's pretty much what any professional player has to deal with, you know what I mean? David? ”

David Silva didn't answer, just hesitated.

Wan Sheng said, "What are you worried about?" Say it! ”

Silva hesitated for a moment before saying, "But, boss, I don't know how long it will take to recover from the injury, and I don't know what kind of state it will be after recovery, I don't know if I can play well."

"You don't need to think about it that much!"

Wan Sheng slowly walked to the side of the bed and said seriously, "We have an ancient Chinese saying called 'Saiong loses his horse, and he knows whether he is blessed', which means that although he suffers a loss for a while, he can get benefits because of it, and it can also be understood that bad things may become good things under certain conditions, so we must be optimistic and don't think about bad things." ”

"Take your current injury as an example, you always think that you can't guarantee your fitness in the future, but how do you know that you won't be in better shape in the future? Maybe this injury is the beginning of your success. ”

"Professional players have to go through injuries, you have to go through experiences to grow, this is not only an injury, but also an experience, you have to go through it as a must, after the experience, you will have more courage, then you will perform better! David, I'm very sure of this because I'm very bullish on you and I'm sure you'll be the best! Wan Sheng looked into David Silva's eyes and said very seriously.

David Silva was somewhat moved.

He knew that Wan Sheng was comforting himself, but these words did make sense, and it also meant that Wan Sheng attached great importance to himself, so what else did he need to worry about?

It's enough to take care of your injuries and continue to play for the team when you heal!

David Silva then called the doctor and asked about his leg injury.

His injury is actually not as serious as imagined, just a misalignment of the calf muscles plus a little strain, and after a minor operation and two months of recuperation, he can almost heal, which means that he will be able to catch up with many games when he returns from injury.

This is also the reason why Wansheng feels relaxed.

Two months is a lot of time, but it's nothing compared to the whole season.

The games at the end of the season will definitely be very important and David Silva will be able to catch those games and he will have a lot easier, of course, which is nowhere near as good as Silva would have been without an injury, but the injury has been less than expected.

As he himself said, people should always be optimistic

But the optimism of the mentality is optimistic, and there is no way to be pessimistic when it is time to be pessimistic.

This is at the Manchester Stadium.

As it was the first FA Cup match, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the stadium was crowded, and in England, the FA Cup, the oldest and most traditional cup competition, has always attracted the attention of countless fans, even if this match was actually against Scumkelthau, an English second division (fourth) team.

The game was as fans might think, and Skemso was no match for Manchester City at all.

Facing a strong attacking Manchester City. Skentall could only defend passively, and then helplessly watched as the goal was breached again and again.

Although they defended aggressively and were praised by commentators and guests alike, effort was not an indication of strength, and they conceded four goals towards the end of the game.

4-0 at home, Manchester City won completely.

A 4-0 win against a fourth-tier team is nothing at all, but it's a great start to the season in the FA Cup and one to celebrate. But at this time on the sidelines. Wan Sheng's brows furrowed very tightly, and he looked worriedly at the players who were carried off the field - Nikola Anelka!

Anelka suddenly fell to the ground after completing the breakthrough, and the way he covered his feet and bared his teeth showed that his injury was definitely not light.

Wan Sheng was worried about Anelka.

Anelka's personality is a headache, but it has to be said that he is a very talented player and the pillar of the team's forward line, and now Darren Bent is just emerging. Although the performance is also good, it is difficult to compare with his ability, and there is still a gap between the two.

Without Anelka, the team's forward line will definitely be a little worse.

What makes Wansheng most helpless is. Three games in a row have had players injured, first Sinclair, then David Silva and then Nikola Anecoca. With three fewer big players in three games, it's a bit stretched with the team's current bench depth.

He was worried about the lineup for the next game.

After the game. Wan Sheng went to visit Anelka and also learned about his injury - he needs to recuperate for more than a month, in terms of recovery time, his injury is better than David Silva, but a month plus the recovery training time is not short, this period of competition, he will definitely not be able to participate.

The next day, Wan Sheng put more emphasis on individual physical training, and he demanded that each player must complete 100% of the training content before leaving, and for this reason, he even reduced the time spent on tactical training.

He's going to use training to minimise injuries.

The three generals are injured, and the team has been greatly affected, and if anyone is injured again, Wansheng is not sure whether he has the confidence to guarantee the team's results.

At this time, the outside world is already singing 'lamentations' for Manchester City

"Three players have been injured in three games in a row, which shows the general physical condition of the Manchester City players, and each of them has to be careful of injuries, which may have something to do with City's tactics and training"

The Daily Mirror attributed the trio's injuries to the tactics specified by Wan Sheng and City's training beyond the average team standard, "Manchester City's tactics require physical support, but this is an overdraft of the lives of professional players, who put in more physical energy than others, in exchange for physical weakness, which will cause them to be more vulnerable to injuries than others"

This statement suddenly sounds plausible, but when you think about it, it doesn't make sense at all.

Exercising more than others is overdrawing vitality? Then all professional players don't need to train, just rest well, of course, this is impossible, it can be said that the "Daily Mirror" is just to disgust Wan Sheng.

found the name of the reporter who reported it, and sure enough, he was very familiar with Brand, the reporter who had a grudge against Wan Sheng.

Maybe Wan Sheng has long forgotten that there is a 'Brand' who has been making trouble for himself, but Brand will not forget, and he is determined to take revenge on Wan Sheng for the humiliation he has suffered.

Manchester City had a very good record before, he didn't have a chance to do anything, now it's good, Manchester City are still top of the league, but they have lost three big players in three games, you can imagine what will happen next.

So the "Wansheng opposition party" led by the "Daily Mirror" began to analyze Manchester City from all angles in an 'extreme crisis', and after reading their analysis, it will feel as if Manchester City Club is going to go bankrupt tomorrow, but in fact, Manchester City still firmly occupies the first place in the league, and has not wavered at all.

However, the big media is still not optimistic about Manchester City, after all, many teams, especially small teams with good results in the first half of the competition, are easily crushed by injury problems, as evidenced by countless examples in the history of football, so many media predict that Manchester City's results will be affected, and it will not be easy to continue to maintain the top position in the league.

As the "Sun" said, "Whether it is Anelka, Sinclair, or Spanish teenager David Silva, they are all players who often start, and if all three are injured at the same time, Manchester City's starting lineup will definitely be affected, which may have become the biggest headache for Wansheng"

That's the popular opinion.

But in fact, Wansheng actually didn't have a headache for the starting lineup at all, because Manchester City's various positions were built by him, such as David Silva injured, then the middle can only be Morris, Joey Barton plus a veteran Reina, Sinclair's injury will have a big impact, but in the winter came Ivan Crewe, he has been adapting to the team, and now it's almost time to get a chance, and the front court is simpler, although Darren Bent is not as good as Anelka, But there is no problem coming off the bench during this time, and Robbie Fowler and Andy Cole have been in great form as well.

In the end, in terms of arranging troops, Wansheng doesn't need to think too much.

However, the three of them will not be able to play, and the strength of the team will be affected, Wan Sheng only hopes that the players can play better, at least not make any big mistakes.

As he said to the players, "Spring is a harsh winter before the warm spring, a hot summer before the agricultural autumn, and the dawn will also experience darkness before it comes, and now is our difficult time!" ”

"The light is ahead, as long as we can rush through, we can get what we want, if we stop halfway, we will get nothing."

"What kind of outcome do you want?"

The players didn't expect Wan Sheng to suddenly say this on this question, and they didn't know how to answer, when they saw Wan Sheng waving his arms with a hideous face and shouting, "Champion!" I just need one answer, and that's the championship! ”

"We're going to rush over! We want to get what we are after, and the championship is ours! ”

As he spoke, he pointed out the door and yelled, "Now, get out and kill them!" Use the score to tell everyone what kind of situation we are! ”

After listening to Wan Sheng's words, everyone in the locker room immediately rushed out.

Recently, the outside world has been reporting bad news about them, and many of them are saying that their results will drop very badly, and they don't even have to think about competing for the league title or something, and these reports have made them feel very angry, so they can't wait to prove something on the field.

That's what happened in the away dressing room in the Carabao Cup semi-final, the first leg between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic. (To be continued......)
