Chapter 400: Anterior Cruciate Ligament

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi said to Sercan, who was driving: "Please send me directly to Dortmund State Hospital, Mr. Sercan." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Okay. Selkan didn't say much, he had already heard the conversation between Zhou Yi and his friend, and of course he knew what was going on.

Mark Wagner's sudden injury is important news today, and he has long heard about the relationship between Zhou Yi and Mark from Schulzer's mouth.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, searching for news about Mark's injury.

He didn't have much effort, and as soon as he opened the official website of "Kicker", he saw a photo of Mark being carried on a stretcher.

He hid his face with his hands, but he could not hide his pain and disappointment.

This scene is all too familiar to Zhou Yi, and a player will only show such emotions when he is seriously injured.

Zhou Yi felt more and more that the situation was not good.

He continued to look down, and the text detailed how Mark had been injured.

“...... In the 62nd minute of the game, Wagner lost his balance and fell to the ground when he was fighting for a header in the penalty area, and then the Azerbaijani defender Melikov, who was also out of balance, landed on Wagner's body, and the part that carried this weight was his right knee...... As we can see from the slow motion of the game broadcast, because Mark Wagner's body position had not yet adjusted, when Melkov fell behind Wagner's knee injury, his knee joint was significantly twisted and deformed......

Wagner then fell to the ground and could not get back up. After the German team doctor came on the field to check on him, he was lifted off the field for a unit price and was put directly into an ambulance and driven off the pitch...... After the game, Germany coach Loew expressed concern about Wagner's injury, but there is no further injury report at the moment, so it is not known what the exact extent of Mark Wagner's injury is......

Zhou Yi looked at his watch, and it was half past eleven in the evening of September 7.

The match between Germany and Azerbaijan started at 8.45pm, and it is not long before the game is over, and it is normal that there are no further reports of injuries in the media.

But looking at the description of the media, Zhou Yi's mind was full of bad thoughts.

Thinking of this, he reopened his phone's browser and typed a keyword like "knee injury" into the search engine......

※※※

When the car arrived at the state hospital, Zhou Yi jumped out of the car and saw Schulze waiting for him at the door.

"How's it going?" he asked when he saw Schulze.

"Not very good...... Schulze whispered, looking tired. "The doctor said it was a torn cruciate ligament in the knee......"

Hearing this word, Zhou Yi's eyes widened: "How can this be?"

But he didn't stop, and the two of them walked inside as they spoke, and even forgot to take the suitcase he had put in the trunk of the car.

Serkan looked at the backs of the two people leaving in a hurry and shook his head, he didn't make a sound to remind Zhou Yi, he knew that Zhou Yi would definitely not be able to take care of it now, this box, he would help keep it for the time being......

"Mark's luck was so bad that when he was hit by the opponent, his knee was visibly twisted and deformed......" Schulze sighed.

If you don't get hit, or if the opponent falls on other parts, at most it hurts, and it won't be a big deal, you can get up and pat your buttocks, and you can continue to play.

But on the contrary, it was his knee that was the big guy who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed more than 85 kilograms......

"How is Mark now?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"In the hospital room, we've turned down requests from the news media to visit, so we're going to go this way......," said Schulzer, who led Zhou Yi around and to another elevator.

It was also the match that happened to be played at Dortmund's home stadium, the West**** Stadium, so Mark was sent to the local hospital in Dortmund after being injured.

Otherwise, Zhou Yi would have to fly to Berlin or Munich.

"What about Mark's emotions?" Zhou Yi was more concerned about this now.

"It's not high......" Schulze said honestly.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi stopped talking, and there was silence in the elevator, except for the low-frequency hum of the air conditioner, there was no other sound.

※※※

When Zhou Yi and Schulze came out of the elevator, they saw Cortana sitting outside the ward at a glance.

She sat there stunned, knowing that Zhou Yi and Shuerze walked up to her, she realized that there was someone in front of her, raised her head and looked at it, and then was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Zhou Yi glanced into the ward, but he didn't see anything, because the blinds were closed.

Instead of pushing the door open, he sat down next to Cortana, while Schulze sat on the other side of the bench with a good understanding.

"Mark is a good friend of mine. ”

"You're not in the national team ......"

"It's done, I've just come back...... Hey, where's my suitcase?" Zhou Yi realized at this time that he didn't take the suitcase at all.

He turned to look at Schulze.

Schulze spread his hands: "You must have forgotten in Otaka's car, I'll call him and ask ......"

With that, he pulled out his phone and walked to the stairwell.

Only Zhou Yi and Cortana were left in the corridor.

"You came straight from the airport?" asked Cortana.

"Hmm. Zhou Yi nodded, he found that Cortana's mood was not very high, which was understandable, his younger brother was seriously injured, who could be emotional? His own mood was not very good.

"How's Mark?" Although Schulze had been asked, Zhou Yi still had to ask Cortana.

"The cruciate ligament in the right knee is ruptured. ”

"Fracture?" Zhou Yi was taken aback when he heard this. Schulze told him it was a tear, but Cortana told him it was a tear. He still remembers when he had a muscle strain, and the things Cortana gave him science science were more broken than torn......

"They ran a drawer test on him and determined that it was a ligament problem. There were four ligaments in his knee, and he broke one - the anterior cruciate ligament. Cortana said in a calm tone, as calm as a professional doctor, accustomed to life and death. But looking at her eyes, it was as if she had lost the shell of her soul, and her eyes were empty and unfocused.

"Rely on ......" Zhou Yi could only say this sentence, of course he said it in German.

Even if you are not a professional player, as an ordinary fan, you can clearly understand what the concept of cruciate ligament rupture is. This is the biggest injury in professional football because it has so many superstars.

From Baggio to Piero, from Ronaldo to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

And in Germany, the most famous case of cruciate ligament injury was Deisler, the German football prodigy suffered the same injury as Mark today, with a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He underwent six anterior cruciate ligament surgeries over the course of six years, which eventually led to his early retirement.

So Zhou Yi knew how terrible this injury was for Mark.

"What about surgery?" he asked.

"It should have been done tomorrow. Cortana said.

In general, if the cruciate ligament is ruptured, surgery must be performed immediately without delay. Because there is a concern that the ruptured ligament will be absorbed by the interstitial fluid, it may be necessary to transplant the artificial ligament. For ordinary people, it may not have much impact, but for professional athletes, the impact is huge.

"Mark his spirit...... How?"

"See for yourself......" Cortana, tired of such a question, stood up and walked to the stairwell.

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at her back, and suddenly felt that her back looked helpless in the empty hospital corridor.

"Cortana. Zhou Yi couldn't help but call.

Cortana stopped, but didn't look back.

"In any case, don't lose hope, you're his sister. Zhou Yi said.

Cortana didn't respond to him and kept walking.

Zhou Yi knocked on the door of the ward.

"Please come in. A low, hoarse voice sounded inside, it was old Wagner.

Zhou Yi pushed the door and entered, and saw Mark lying on the hospital bed, and the Wagners sitting in front of the window.

Old Wagner looked back at Zhou Yi and was surprised-he thought that it was either Cortana, or Mark's agent Schultzer, or a doctor or nurse who knocked on the door, but he didn't expect it...... It's Zhou Yi!

He stood up from his seat in astonishment, staring at him with wide eyes, unable to make a sound.

Mrs. Wagner was so sad that she was bowing her head and sobbing, so she didn't see Zhou Yi.

Mark lay on the bed, turning his head to look out the window, motionless, like a dead man.

"Hi Mark. Zhou Yi, who walked to the side of the bed, called softly.

He could clearly see that Mark's body on the bed shook slightly as he made a sound.

Mrs. Wagner, who was bowing her head and sobbing, also looked up in surprise, with tears still on her face.

"It's so embarrassing, you ......," Zhou Yi looked at Mark and smiled.

"Zhou Yi ......" looked at his idol and friend, Mark finally couldn't help crying, "I...... It's over......"
