Chinese champion

Chapter 86 Waiting
"Hehe, it's okay. The doctor said it's just a small injury. You can resume training in half a month. Dad, don't worry about me. What? You and mom are coming? No, your visas are difficult to get , when you get the visa approved, I think I can play the game, it’s really no problem, don’t worry mom.” Pei Wei said with a smile, leaning on the bed in a local hospital ward in Mallorca.

Since the news of his injury came out, countless people called him, and the earliest one was Zhu Jun who was also in Spain. He got the news from the TV after Seville beat Las Palmas away, and immediately Call Pei Wei to ask about the injury, then Wu Qi, Hu Yong and others in Europe, and then Zhong Yan and others in China and He Jin, his parents are still late, they watched it the next day The sports news only found out about this news, his mother almost fainted from fright, but his father was calmer and called to ask about the situation.

The father handed the phone to the mother, and the mother was inevitably nagging and sobbing again, and Pei Wei hurriedly comforted her.

Pei Wei hung up the phone, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

What a blessing it is to have so many people caring about me when I was injured!

When I was injured just now, I really panicked in my heart. After playing football for so long, this is the first time I have suffered such an internal injury. affect your football career.

After going to the hospital for a doctor's examination, Pei Wei was relieved by the doctor's diagnosis. The meniscus was damaged, but it was not serious. Albelda didn't use much force on his foot, but he was injured due to inertia.

He already knew the result of the game. Although he felt a little regretful about the tie, he also knew that this was already a good result. In the away game against Valencia, one point was enough.

He was taken aback when he knew he had to rest for a while, not for anything else, and on December 12, 23 days later, Mallorca will play the last game of the first half of the season at home against Real Madrid team.

If I have to rest for a long time, won't I miss the same game with Zidane?
It wasn't until he knew that he only needed to rest for half a month that he was relieved.

It would be a pity for him if he couldn't play against Real Madrid.

In his opinion, Zidane is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder after Maradona. His dribbling, organization, and grasp of the situation on the field are among the best in today's world football.

Rivaldo may be the only one who can confront him now.

While Pei Wei was thinking wildly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and several people poured in. They were Eto'o, Ibagaza and Nadal.

The nurse who was following them said softly, "Please be quiet." Then she closed the door.

Pei Wei sat up and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Isn't it time for training?"

Etoola walked over to a chair and sat down. He said carelessly, "The old man gave us an hour off and let us come and see you. He said he was afraid that you would be bored in the ward by yourself."

"Thank you, come, eat some fruit!" Pei Wei hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.

Nadal smiled and said, "Don't move, lest the injury get worse and the coach blames us!" The captain was still steady, and he used honorifics when addressing Aragones, unlike Eto'o and the others who were younger, Knowing that the old man has a good temper, he always calls him "old man" or "old guy".

"It's not that serious." Pei Wei laughed.

"We were all shocked when you fell down, but you are luckier than me. Last time I rested for two full months, I heard that you can resume training in about half a month, right?" Yi asked Bagasa.

Pei Wei nodded, and Eto'o immediately took up the conversation: "However, the meniscus injury is sometimes very troublesome. If it is not completely healed, it may become an old injury. The old man said, let you heal your injury with peace of mind. During this period Don't worry about the game, there is me."

Pei Wei couldn't help laughing: "Did you add the last sentence yourself?"

Around Eto'o's black face, he couldn't help but show a trace of shy red, he smiled "hehe": "This...that's what everyone said...I don't want to..."

Nadal tapped him on the head: "Bragging is pretty good!"

Although Eto'o is Mallorca's top scorer, Nadal is the most prestigious player in the Mallorca team. In addition, he is stable and has high popularity, so Eto'o can only listen to him.

"You may miss the two games against Malaga and Betis, but you should be able to play against Real Madrid on the 23rd?" Ibagaza asked.

Pei Wei nodded: "Yes, I don't want to miss that game, Zidane... I look forward to playing against him."

Nadal smiled: "That Frenchman is indeed very good, but... I think if you can make it to that match, you should be facing another Frenchman."

"Another Frenchman?" Pei Wei was taken aback.

"Not bad." Eto'o said, he has stayed in Real Madrid for a year, so he is naturally familiar with Real Madrid's players: "Claude Makelele, one of the best defensive midfielders in La Liga, the French National team player, since the Argentine Redondo was sold to AC Milan by Real Madrid, he has become the main midfielder of Real Madrid. Above Dondo, he has always been the most troublesome opponent in the eyes of midfielders in La Liga."

"Claude Makelele..." Pei Wei muttered the name: "I will remember it."

Several people chatted for a few more words, and the three left one after another, leaving Pei Wei alone to pass the boring time.

In the constant recuperation and physical therapy, time passed quickly. A week passed, and the La Liga league did not stop because of Pei Wei's injury. On the 9th, the No.16 round started in full swing.

The nurses in the hospital all knew this young star who played for the local team this year. They tried their best to meet all Pei Wei's requirements, including adding a TV to his ward to pass his boring time.

Pei Wei lay on the bed and watched the match between Mallorca and Malaga at home. In this game, Gonzalez replaced Pei Wei. Since the opponent was an underdog, they knew they wanted to play in Malaga. It is very difficult for Lorca to win at home, so they used the most practical method, defensive counterattack.

The tiger’s opponent made Mallorca at a loss. After a period of onslaught, not only failed to succeed, but was hit by a beautiful counterattack by the opponent in the No.30 minute. The striker broke through Mallorca’s defense and shot. Nino Stretching out his feet to block, who knows, the ball bounced off his leg, Franco couldn't make a save, and the ball flew into Mallorca's gate.

"Isn't it?" Pei Wei opened his eyes wide: "Own goal?"

Vice-captain Nino covered his head, and couldn't believe what happened before his eyes.

"It's okay." Nadal comforted Nino, "We'll get the ball back right away!"

After being quiet for a while, the fans continued to cheer even more frantically. They shouted loudly: "Mallorca, go!"

Inspired, Mallorca launched a counterattack immediately. Eto'o's breakthrough resulted in a free kick on the left side of the penalty area. Ibagaza took the ball, and Nino made up for it with a header. A header relay to tie the score!

"Wow! No way, even the captain scored a goal?" Pei Wei couldn't believe it. You know, as he gets older, in order to save energy, Nadal basically doesn't assist. In this game, he scored a goal for the first time!

After scoring the goal, Nadal also received unprecedented welcome from his teammates. His defender partner Nino threw him down, and then other teammates pressed up one after another...

Nadal was very angry when he stood up: "Damn, is it easy for me to score a goal? I don't want to celebrate by myself, you little bastards are too much, woohoo, my image..."

Aragones smiled and looked at the quarrelsome disciples on the field. He was worried that Pei Wei's injury would affect the morale of the team, but it seems that there is no need to worry now.

Although it was a draw, he had no doubt that his team would win the final victory.

Sure enough, the Mallorca team, which had been attacking all the time, scored again in the second half. Ibagaza made a precise cross after breaking through from the wing, and Eto'o headed the ball in with a header he was not good at The corner of the goal!
This is his tenth goal of the season, and it also proves that Mallorca's 450 million euros were not unjustly spent!

After taking the lead, the Mallorca team continued to attack, but they were unlucky. Several shots were either high or wide. When the final whistle sounded, the Mallorca team had a small victory at home and continued to rank second.

Pei Wei watched the summary of this round in the evening. Barcelona continued their nightmare December. After two consecutive losses, Barcelona returned to the home court and took a deep breath. In the second and No.12 minutes respectively, the Gabriel and Saviola each scored a goal. They were leading by two goals and saw victory in sight. Who knew that in the last 409 minutes, the situation changed suddenly. After Sergi accidentally scored an own goal in the No.10 minute, he saw the hope of a draw The Celta team launched a fierce attack, which made Barcelona's superstars mess up. Finally, in the No.704 minute, Addo's strong shot allowed the Celta team to go home with a point, and also made Barcelona winless for three consecutive rounds.

Their old rivals Real Madrid continued to advance triumphantly. In the away game, they relied on the goals of Erguera and Figo to take Tenerife lightly. In another strong dialogue, the Deportivo team at home stopped. In the downturn, Tristan's penalty helped them beat Valencia with one goal, and Vereron squeezed out Djaminha to become the main force, and performed well.

Sevilla lost a good game at home. The goal conceded in the last minute made them lose three points. Zhu Jun scored a goal in this campaign and assisted Reyes to score the third goal.

When Pei Wei's injury gradually improved, he heard a bad news.

As a guest, the Mallorca team lost at Betis's home court. They shot [-] times but failed to score. Instead, they were conceded by Betis' Spanish teenager Joaquin in the final stage of the first half. Nine unbeaten rounds ended.

Although Mallorca still ranks second after the defeat, No.3 Valencia and No.4 Barcelona both won this round, and they are only one point and two points behind Mallorca in points respectively. Real Madrid The defense of this season's La Liga title seems to be a certainty after a home win over Real Sociedad has already knocked Mallorca down by six points.

Finally, when the Mallorca team returned from Betis, Pei Wei got the doctor's permission and he could be discharged from the hospital.

When Aragones knew that Pei Wei was recovering from injury, the depression caused by the loss was swept away.

In the past half month, he deeply felt the difference between Pei Wei and without Pei Wei. When Pei Wei was there, Mallorca could sweep Deportivo at home and draw with Valencia away. Without Pei Wei, the home game against Malaga was only a small victory, and the away game lost to Real Betis without temper. The last game before Christmas, the home game against the defending champion Real Madrid on the 23rd , It's great news that Pei Wei can play!

But Aragones knew that haste makes waste. He was very careful not to give Pei Wei a lot of exercise. He only asked him to do some slight warm-up exercises for several days. It was not until two days before the start of the game that Pei Wei and the main force The team practiced together.

The team members didn't have any objections, and now Pei Wei's importance to Mallorca is self-evident.

Pei Wei recovered very well. Whether he was catching the ball or running, his feet were as healthy as they were before the injury.

Aragones saw it in his eyes and was delighted in his heart. He knew that a heavy weight had been added to his victory balance.

The 23rd came quickly, and nearly 3 people flooded into the St. Moise Stadium again, not only because this game will be the last game of the year, but also because the opponent is the world-famous Real Madrid!

Chairman Alemani's heart once again withstood a severe test, and he vowed to expand the size of the stadium, but he seemed to forget that he had made countless vows like this, but he never realized it once.

In the lounge of Mallorca, Aragones didn't say much, he just said: "We are facing the most powerful club in the world, they have the most luxurious lineup, they have won Countless honors... We have nothing, but we have fighting spirit! We have all the citizens of Mallorca as our backing, no matter what, we will never be afraid!"
