Long Shute seemed to have had a very long dream.

The dream was pitch black, with no light to be seen, and no sound to be heard.

He couldn't even feel his own breathing, as if he had merged with the darkness.

Until a long, long time later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The dazzling white filled his vision, and the faint smell of disinfectant lingered in his nostrils.

He twisted his neck, but only felt a piercing pain.

He wanted to speak, but only made an inaudible hoarse sound:

"what……"

"you're awake?"

There was a voice in the room, it was a young female nurse:
"Don't move, I will inform the doctor and family members!"

Long Shute's mind was in a state of confusion, but he could barely hear what the nurse said...probably in American English?
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and Long Shute heard a familiar voice:

"Darling!"

His breathing suddenly became a little short:

"Emma?"
-
After a brief exchange, a doctor in his 40s came to the bed:
"Do you remember what happened before you fell into a coma, Mr. Long?"

Of course Long Shute remembered clearly:

"I was playing in the World Cup and I was hit from behind... It's not a serious injury, is it?"

For some reason, he didn't seem to feel the system that had accompanied him for nearly ten years, so he couldn't determine his physical condition in the first place.

The doctor's expression didn't change much:

"You have been lying in bed for a whole week. If you count the previous treatment in Brazil, it should have been more than ten days."

"how is this possible?"

Long Shute showed an expression of disbelief.

He subconsciously wanted to move his body, but he couldn't feel the existence of his legs!

Even... He can't even feel his own waist and butt?

"Amputated?"

He couldn't help but lifted the thin quilt, and the intact legs appeared in front of his eyes, but because of lack of exercise, they seemed a little thin:
"What does that mean? Why... I don't feel anything?"

Emma took his hand gently, but couldn't speak.

It was the same doctor who said:

"You were hit by a vertebra and injured a nerve. This is a very serious injury. We are actively contacting famous doctors in the United States and Europe. We will have a second intensive consultation in two days, and then we will study it as soon as possible. Come up with the least risky treatment plan..."

The muscles on Long Shute's cheeks jumped a few times involuntarily:

"I want to know, what's the worst outcome? Paralysis for life?"

The doctor did not answer him directly:
"Relax, Mr. Long, things haven't reached the worst yet, what you have to do now is to wait patiently, and then actively recover..."

Long Shute couldn't help closing his eyes.
-
"Brazilian state television reported: In yesterday's World Cup group match, a tragedy occurred. Chinese team captain Long Shute had a fierce collision with Colombian defender Zuniga during a fight for a header. It caused the former to go into shock on the spot..."

"CNN report: The Chinese football superstar Long Shute, who was hit hard before, has been transferred to a famous hospital in the United States for expert treatment. It is reported that his injury is not optimistic..."

"CCTV Sports Channel reported: The World Cup in Brazil is in full swing. The 16 teams that have entered the knockout stage have been released. The Chinese team has won the group with the result of a draw with Greece in the final round. However, the spiritual leader of this team is still Did not wake up..."

"Exclusive report from The Sun: According to insiders in the hospital, although China Dragon has just woken up, his career is likely to end there, and even his daily life is difficult to take care of himself..."

……

With the awakening of consciousness, Long Shute also gradually knew what happened during this period.

After he was injured, Colombia took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, but because there was too little time left, they only scored a goal in stoppage time and still lost 2-3.

The Chinese team, which had won the two rounds, still put on an iron barrel in the third game. When they wanted to defend, the weak offensive Greek team couldn't let them concede the ball. In the end, the two sides shook hands 0-0.

The Chinese team, which lost its core and soul, did not create miracles. They were defeated by Uruguay, which also lost its core players, 2-0-Suarez once again exposed his devilish nature in the third game, and he opened his mouth in a meaningless retreat. Biting Italian defender Chiellini was severely punished by a four-month global ban...

The subsequent games and results were not much different from history. Neymar was also knocked into the hospital by Zuniga. The Samba, which lost its core, was humiliated by the Germans 7-1 at home. Klose broke Ronaldo's World Cup scoring record. The triumphant German chariot beat the Pampas Eagles in overtime, and Messi still failed to get the championship trophy within reach...

When the German fans fell into a carnival, Long Shute had already undergone the second operation.

"The operation was successful, and the rest will depend on the recovery," the famous medical experts looked at the world-class star on the hospital bed with relief. "If everything goes well, there should be no problem in normal life."

"Where are you playing football?"

Long Shute only cares about one thing.

The doctors were suddenly at a loss for words:

"...it will be difficult to continue to engage in vigorous sports..."

Long Shu nodded:
"Thank you, Doctor."
-
It is absolutely impossible to hide the injuries of superstars like Long Shute and Neymar, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

The pervasive media got a copy almost within four hours of the diagnosis, followed by all kinds of embellished speculation and reports.

"Shocked! Golden Ball three times in a row will fail for life!"

"It's a pity! Emma, ​​the little witch, just got married and will be a widow!"

"Keff! A mysterious curse from the British Isles! The Eastern Ball King suffered a kidney explosion!"

"Despicable! Murderer Zuniga deserves to be cut to pieces!"

"What's the reason? He was also hit on the waist, and Neymar only needs three months to recover from his injury, but Long Shute still has no time to come back?!"

……

Of course, the media reports will not affect Long Shute, but he has to face pressure from other aspects.

The leaders of the Football Association and the General Administration organized a special group to visit him after he regained consciousness. They highly affirmed his great spirit of dying for the country and encouraged him to recover from his injuries.

Li Yonghong, chairman of the AC Milan club, also took Han Li to visit him many times, but they were not as free and easy as the leaders of the Football Association.

Long Shute is the soul of the Milan club and the key force for them to make a lot of money. If he cannot continue his career because of this, Milan's performance and stock price will definitely fluctuate greatly!

They spent 1.2 million euros to buy players, if they only played good football for one season, it would be too cost-effective!
——Although the good goals of this season are enough for the Milan club to earn back the investment, what's more, when negotiating with Bayern, Milan still paid in installments, and now it has only paid 8000 million euros...
-
"I thought it was miserable that I was suspended for four months, but..."

The one who came to visit him today was Suarez, an old friend of many years.

He wanted to tell Long Shute a joke, but he couldn't.

"It's okay, Louis," Long Shute smiled, "You don't have to worry about me too much, because after I recover, you will never have such a chance again!"

Suarez scratched his head:
"You are optimistic, do you feel your legs now?"

Before Longshut answered, Kaka and Shalawi pushed open the door, and Ram, Muller and Badstuber were still standing outside the door.

"Gentlemen, there are too many visitors..."

A little nurse wanted to stop them, but Long Shute called in.

"Uh, Long, I wish you a speedy recovery..."

Muller, who was originally a pistachio, looked at his old teammate lying on the hospital bed, but couldn't find words that could make him happy.

"Put away your comforters."

Long Shute suddenly laughed, and then let out a long breath:

"I will return to the green field that belongs to me!"

Just now...he suddenly felt a strange wave in his brain!

He reconnected with the weakest system in history!
