David Silva was half lying on the bed, staring at the hanging right leg, her lowered look on her face, and there was obvious pain and worry at the corners of her eyes.

When he thought about the moment he fell on the court, he felt the whole world was dim.

Injury, this word is the biggest enemy of all professional players.

Silva has also been injured, but has not suffered too serious injuries. He was mostly minor injuries such as spraining his feet and swollen calves. After one recuperation, he will be able to recover completely in two weeks. But this time it is definitely different, because he can feel that his leg injury is very serious.

The doctor has been here once.

David Silva opened his mouth many times to ask about his injuries, but in the end he still didn't ask.

He has no courage.

He was afraid that the doctor would give desperate bad news.

Often, the player himself does not ask questions, and the doctor will not say it out loud. So he stays in the ward, thinking about his leg injury, thinking about not being able to play for a long time, thinking about losing his state after recovery, etc. These thoughts make him feel even more desperate.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a figure in a straight suit walked in. He walked in with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, with a smile on his face.

David Silva raised his head in confusion and realized that Wan Sheng was coming. He thought Wan Sheng should be on the stadium at this time, but he didn't expect to come to the hospital to visit him.

He was surprised by Wansheng's arrival.

"How do you feel, David?" Wan Sheng asked with concern.

Silva hurriedly replied, "No, nothing, it's just that I don't feel anything here." He pointed to his raised calf and said worriedly as if he was a child.

Wan Sheng smiled, "Of course. The doctor gave you anesthetics just now, and it still works now!"

David Silva nodded blankly and suddenly asked, "Then do you know how my leg hurts?"

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

"I didn't ask." David Silva lowered his head embarrassedly and added. "I dare not 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. However, when he saw 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 in understanding.

The Spanish boy in front of him is actually not as strong as he seems. He can come to England alone, but it does not mean that he can face the first serious injury in his career.

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

Looking back on that game, David Silva also had a little proud face.

"I dare say that you are a genius, but genius is not just talented. It also requires perseverance, courage, and other personal qualities. This is the real genius." Wan Sheng continued. "You have a good talent and work hard on weekdays. Now the only thing you lack is courage! Yes, you need courage!"

"You have to have the courage to face any game, any challenge, and also have the courage to face some bad things, such as now, you are injured, you need to have the courage to face injuries. Because this is something that almost any professional player needs to face, do you understand what I mean? David?"

David Silva did not answer. He just thought hesitantly.

Wan Shengdao, "What are you worried about? Tell me!"

Silva hesitated for a while before saying, "But, boss, I don't know how long it takes to recover from injury. I don't know what state it will be after recovery. I don't know if I can still play well."

"You don't need to think so much!"

Wan Sheng slowly walked to the edge of the bed and said seriously, "There is an old saying in China that "there is no blessing when the old man loses his horse." It means that although he suffers losses for a while, he will gain benefits. It can also be understood that bad things may become good things under certain conditions, so our mentality must be optimistic and not think about bad things."

"Take your current injury as an example, you always think that you can't guarantee your condition 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 must experience injuries, and only after experience can they grow up. For you, this is not only an injury, but also an experience. You have to treat it as a must-experience. After experiencing it, you will have more courage and your performance will be better at that time! David, I am very sure of this because I am very optimistic about you, and I believe you will become the best!" Wan Sheng looked at David Silva's eyes and said very seriously.

David Silva was a little moved.

He knew that Wansheng was comforting himself, but these words made sense, and it also meant that Wansheng attached great importance to him, so what else should he worry about?

Recover well and continue to play for the team when the injury is recovered!

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

His injury was not as serious as he imagined, but his calf muscles were misaligned and a little strain. After a minor surgery and two months of recuperation, he would almost recover. In other words, he could still catch up with many games when he returned from injury.

This is also the reason why Wansheng feels relaxed.

Two months are indeed a lot, but it is nothing compared to the whole season.

The game at the end of the season will definitely be very important. If David Silva can catch up with those games, he will be much easier. Of course, this is far from what Silva does not get injured, but the injury is lighter than expected.

As he said himself, people should always be more optimistic

But there is no way to be optimistic when it is time to be pessimistic.

This is at Manchester Stadium.

Since it was the first game of the FA Cup, it is not an exaggeration to describe the audience at the stadium as a crowd. In England, the FA Cup, this oldest and most traditional cup game always attracts the attention of countless fans, even in this game. Manchester City's opponent is actually Skenso, an English League Two (Fourth) team.

The game is like fans imagined, Skenso is no match for Manchester City at all.

Facing Manchester City with a strong attack, Skenso could only passively defend. Then he watched the goal being broken again and again.

Although they were very active in defense, many commentators and guests praised their efforts. But efforts did not represent strength. As the game ended, they still lost four goals.

Manchester City won 4:0 at home.

Although it was against a fourth-tier league team, winning 4-0 was nothing, but this was the best start of the FA Cup this season and it was worth celebrating. But at this time, Wan Sheng frowned very tightly on the sidelines. He looked at the player Nikola Anelka who was carried off the court with concern!

After completing the breakthrough, Anelka suddenly fell to the ground. He covered his feet and grinned naked, making people know that his injuries were definitely not light.

Wan Sheng is very worried about Anelka.

Anelka's personality is a headache, but I have to say that he is a very talented player and the pillar of the team's forward line. Darren Bent, who has just emerged, performed well, but it is difficult to compare with his abilities. The two are still a little different.

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

What made Wan Sheng the most helpless was that the team had players injured in three consecutive games. First it was Sinclair, then David Silva, and then Nikola Anecka. Three players were missing in three games. With the team's current bench depth, it was really a bit stretched.

He was worried about the arrangement of the next game.

After the game, Wan Sheng visited Anelka and also learned about his injury - he needed to recuperate for more than a month. From the perspective of injury time, his injury was better than David Silva, but one month plus the recovery training time was not short. He definitely couldn't participate in this period of competition.

The next day, Wan Sheng emphasized personal physical training more. He required each player to complete the training content 100% before leaving. For this reason, he even reduced the tactical training time.

He wants to use training to minimize the chance of injury.

The three generals were injured, and the team was already greatly affected. If someone was injured again, Wan Sheng was not sure whether he was confident to ensure the team's performance.

At this time, some media outside the world are already singing "elegies" for Manchester City

"Three consecutive games, three Manchester City players were injured, which shows the general physical condition of Manchester City players. Each of them must be careful of injury. This may be related to Manchester City's tactics and training."

The Daily Mirror attributes the injuries of the three to the tactics specified by Wan Sheng and the training that Manchester City exceeds the standard of the general team. "Manchester City's tactics require physical support, but this is the life of professional players. They invest more physical fitness than others, and what they will be physical weakness, which will lead to them being more susceptible to injury than others."

This statement suddenly sounds very reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is completely unreasonable.

More exercise than others means overdrawing vitality? Then all professional players do not need training, just take a good rest. Of course, this is impossible. It can be said that the Daily Mirror said so just to disgust Wansheng.

I found the name of the reporter and I was indeed very familiar with Brand, the reporter who had a grudge against Wan Sheng.

Perhaps Wan Sheng had long forgotten that there was a "Brand" who had been causing trouble for him, but Brand would not forget that he was determined to retaliate against all the humiliation he had received on Wan Sheng.

Manchester City had a very good performance before, and he had no chance to do anything. Now, Manchester City is still the first in the league, but they lost three players in three games. What will happen next can be imagined.

So the "Winning Opposition Party" led by the Daily Mirror began to analyze from all angles that Manchester City is in an "extreme crisis". After reading their analysis, it feels that Manchester City club will go bankrupt tomorrow, but in fact, Manchester City still steadily occupies the first throne of the league and has not wavered at all.

However, most media are still not optimistic about Manchester City. After all, many teams, especially small teams with good results in the first half of the game, are easily defeated by injuries. Countless examples in football history have proved this, so many media predict that Manchester City's performance will be affected, and it is not easy to continue to maintain the first place in the league.

As the Sun said, "Whether it is Anelka, Sinclair, or Spanish teenager David Silva are regular players. Three people were injured at the same time. Manchester City's even lineup arrangement will definitely be affected. This may have become the most troublesome thing for Wan Sheng."

This is what the public thinks.

But in fact, Wan Sheng didn't have any headaches for the lineup, because he built all positions in Manchester City. For example, David Silva was injured, so the midfield appearance could only be Morris, Joey Barton, and a veteran Renner. Sinclair's injury would have a significant impact. But in winter, Ivan Crew came, he has been adapting to the team, and it is almost time to get opportunities, and the frontcourt is simpler. Although Darren Bent is not as good as Anelka, there is no problem in taking the substitute during this period. In addition, Robbie Fowler and Andy Cole can also get more opportunities, and their condition has always been very good.

In short, in terms of troops and formation, Wan Sheng does not need to consider too much.

However, the three of them were unable to play, and it is certain that the team's strength was affected. Wan Sheng only hopes that the players can perform better, at least not make any major mistakes again.

Just like what he said to the players, "Before spring, before the warmth of spring, before the cool summer, before the autumn of farming, and dawn, it will only come when it comes to darkness, and now is our difficult time!"

"The dawn 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 results do you want?"

The players did not expect that Wan Sheng suddenly said this question. They didn't know how to answer it. At this time, Wan Sheng waved his arms with a ferocious face and shouted, "Champion! I only need one answer, that is the champion!"

"We want to rush over! We want to get what we pursue, and the championship belongs to us!"

As he said that, he pointed out the door and shouted, "Now, go out and kill them! Use the score to tell everyone what the hell is going on!"

After hearing Wan Sheng's words, everyone in the locker room immediately came out one after another.

Recently, the outside world has been reporting their bad news, many of which say that their performance will decline very well, competing for league championships, etc., so they don’t have to think about it. These reports make them very angry, so they can’t wait to prove something on the court.

This is what happened in the away team's locker room in the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester City and Wigan Athletics in the first leg. (To be continued)
