Almighty Coach

Knowing that the talented football boy in front of him turned out to be a dwarfism patient, Claude immediately showed a regretful expression. As a professional coach, Claude certainly knew that it was impossible for a dwarf to engage in professional football.

"Sir, my son does suffer from dwarfism, but his disease can be cured." Forlast said eagerly.

Claude nodded: "As far as I know, dwarfism does have the possibility of being cured. The main cause of dwarfism is the lack of hormones necessary for growth and development in the body. If growth hormone injections are given for a long time, it is possible Let the patient grow to normal height."

"Yes, my son has been receiving growth hormone injections for treatment!" Forlast responded immediately.

"Mr. Claude, as far as I know, Halles' epiphyseal line has been closed. This is a professional report given by the doctor." Raquero whispered to Claude.

"So that's the case." Claude nodded in amazement. He finally understood why the River Plate team would give up this talented football boy.

Injecting growth hormone to treat dwarfism will indeed cost some money, but compared with cultivating a talented player, this investment is nothing. The treatment of a dwarfism can cost tens of thousands of dollars at most, but for a talented player with potential, European giants clubs are willing to invest tens of millions of euros in transfer fees, which is thousands of times the return on investment, a little economical The team can count this account, knowing that this is a very cheap investment.

However, many teams in Argentina, including the River Plate, have chosen to give up this talented football boy. This is of course not because the manager of the River Plate team has no brains, but because the epiphyseal line of this talented football boy has been closed. .

In the human body, the cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis will appear as a wide light-transmitting band on X-rays in childhood, which is the so-called epiphyseal line. And with age, this light-transmitting zone will gradually become shorter. When the epiphysis is completely ossified with metaphyseal cartilage, the original light-transmitting zone becomes a tight seam, which means that the epiphyseal line is completely closed and the bone will stop growing.

After puberty in normal people, the epiphyseal line closes, and it is difficult for the long bones in the body to grow again. The legs and arms will not grow longer, and people will not grow taller through the growth of long bones.

However, although the long bones will not grow again, the spine and interosseous tissues will still grow, so there is a saying among the people that "twenty-three times go one way".

For football players, it is acceptable if they are a little taller, but if their legs are short, it is really unacceptable, so if the epiphyseal line is closed and the legs can no longer continue to grow, for Halls-Ferrell For Rust, a football genius, it was really a fatal blow, almost tantamount to a death sentence for his football career.

"If it was in Europe, such as Germany or the United Kingdom, with better medical conditions and better trainers, you might have a chance to save this child, but this is Argentina, and the conditions here are far inferior to those in Europe. Useless." Claude felt a little pity in his heart that an athlete with the potential to become a generation of football champions was wasted like this.

So Claude comforted him: "Actually, even if the epiphyseal line is completely closed, it is not impossible to grow taller. Nutritious diet, scientific training, and some treatments, this child still has the possibility of growing taller." of."

Claude's words sounded like a kind of comfort to everyone around him, but in Forlast's ears, this kind of comfort was more like a bright light, bringing him the fire of hope.

"Sir, what you mean is that you have a way to make Halls grow taller?" Forast asked.

In front of so many people, Claude was embarrassed to say that he couldn't do anything, otherwise he would appear to be too incompetent. As a top physical coach in Europe, face is still important. So he had no choice but to nod: "If you let me train, there is indeed such a possibility."

"Sir, then I beg you, take my child away! As long as he can grow taller and continue to play football, I can do anything." Forast said very earnestly.

"Sir, I think you understand that I am here on behalf of my club, so the decision to buy that player is also up to my club, and I have no right to take anyone away. "Claude shrugged, expressing that he was helpless.

Forrest also knew that his request was indeed a little too much, but he still looked at Claude with a look of expectation.

Claude also felt a little bit unbearable deep in his heart. As a coach, when he discovered a young athlete with unparalleled talent, he didn't want to see this athlete's talent buried.

Claude thought for a while and said, "Sir, I know a person whose training may be able to make your son grow taller. In terms of athletes' physical training and rehabilitation training, his level is higher than mine. ...I think if even he can't help your son, there is probably no one in this world who can help your son."

"Who is he? Is he also in Europe?" Forast asked eagerly.

"No, he's in the United States. His name is Dai Li." Claude replied.

"Li Dai, this sounds like a Chinese name." Forlast said subconsciously.

"Yes, he is a Chinese. He opened a physical training center in Los Angeles. If I tell you his name directly, you may not know him, but if I tell his identity, you will definitely know him." Claude paused After a pause, he continued, "I wonder if you paid attention to the Olympic Games a few days ago. The US team won 27 gold medals in track and field, and this Coach Dai Li is the head coach of the US track and field team."

"It turned out to be him!" Forrest suddenly thought of some news media reports.

As far as Li Dai's achievements in the Olympic Games are concerned, no one will doubt his coaching ability, let alone everyone knows that an excellent track and field coach must be an excellent physical coach.

Claude took out a business card, handed it to Forlast, and continued, "I have worked with Coach Li Dai before, so if you go to the United States to find him, it can be said that I introduced him." , show him my business card, I think he will meet you."

...

Los Angeles, USA.

A special guest came to Dai Li's training center. He was the Olympic triathlon runner-up, British athlete Hanson Brown.

"Mr. Brown, you are very welcome to visit my training center." Dai Li looked at Brown with a smile on his face. At the same time, Dai Li wondered why Brown came all the way to America to find his own training center.

After the Olympic Games, with Li Dai's fame, Li Dai's training center has become the undisputed No. 1 physical training center in the United States. There are countless outstanding athletes who come here, and many of them are the world's best in various sports. top athlete.

In the sport of triathlon, Hansen-Brown is definitely the world's top athlete. So far, he has won two Olympic bronze medals and the runner-up of two Ironman World Championships.

However, as a British athlete, there is absolutely no need for Brown to come to the United States for training, because the training conditions and level of training in the United Kingdom are very good, at least in the triathlon, it is not inferior to the United States at all.

Triathlon has always been the strength of white people. White people have better talent in swimming than black people, and better talent in long-distance running than yellow people. Moreover, white people generally have longer legs, so they are more likely to lose weight in cycling. Strength, so the triathlon is simply a tailor-made project for Caucasians.

There are many excellent triathletes in the United States, Australia and Europe, and this sport is also very popular in these three regions. In addition to professional athletes who specialize in this project, there are also a large number of amateurs, so In European and American countries, many triathlon competitions are often held.

In Europe, the most powerful country in triathlon is the United Kingdom. There are hundreds of thousands of athletes officially registered by the British Triathlon Association, and even more unregistered amateurs. In the UK, triathlon is a billion-pound industry, and this is only counting running shoes, wetsuits and Participating equipment such as bicycles and related expenses for participating in the competition do not include sports nutrition used by athletes.

In terms of the proportion of the population participating in triathlons, the triathlons in the UK are even stronger than in the United States.

If a certain sport in a country is strong, its training level must also be very strong. With the British triathlon training level, there is no need for Brown to make a special trip to the United States.

What's more, Hansen-Brown himself is the Olympic runner-up, and the training he received in the UK must be the world's top training. From this point of view, there is no need for him to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and across the entire United States to come to Los Angeles to find Lee. Wear for training.

Li Dai still has self-knowledge. Although he knows that he is very famous now, he still doesn't want athletes like Hansen Brown to spend so much money to find him.

"Mr. Brown, I'm curious. What is the reason why you flew all the way from London to Los Angeles to find my training center?" Dai Li asked directly.

"Coach Li, I don't know how much you know about me. Let me introduce myself first. I was born in a sports family. My father is a cyclist, and my mother is a long-distance runner. My My uncle is a swimmer, and my brother and I practiced swimming with him since childhood. We also wanted to be swimmers."

"When I was ten years old and my brother was twelve, we were introduced to the sport of triathlon for the first time, and my brother and I felt that this sport was more challenging and suitable for us, so we both Switched to triathlon. Under the guidance of my father and mother, my brother and I became the best triathletes in the UK in no time."

"My brother and I have participated in many competitions, including world-class competitions such as the Triathlon World Championships and the Olympics, and have won many honors. The name 'Brown Brothers' has become the endorsement of triathlon. In the UK, everyone who mentions triathlon will talk about us brothers."

Dai Li nodded: "That's right, in the last five or six years, the Brown brothers have dominated the triathlon. In the just-concluded Olympic Games, the media also referred to the triathlon as 'Brown brothers' performance' .”

"But I have never defeated my brother!" Hansen-Brown became emotional.

Dai Li knows Hansen-Brown's elder brother, his name is Tyre-Brown, he is two years older than Hansen. Compared with his younger brother, Hansen-Brown's achievements are more dazzling. He has won two triathlon world championships Championship, and two-time Olympic triathlon champion. In the just-concluded Rio Olympics, in what the media called the "Hansen brothers' show", his younger brother Hansen also won the runner-up, while his older brother Tyre Brown won the championship.

I only heard Hansen-Brown continue: "In every competition before, as long as my brother and I competed at the same time, I was always the runner-up, and he was always the champion. I have never won him. I used to think that this It's all because I am younger than him and my body is not as mature as his, so I lost to him, but now, we are all adults, but I still lost to him!"

Hansen-Brown's tone became excited, and he said jointly: "I want to win, I want to beat my brother, I don't want to be the runner-up all the time, so I train harder, but it doesn't work, isn't it just in Rio de Janeiro , in the Olympics, I lost to him again."

"I knew I needed to make some changes. Over the years I've been training with my brother and we've been doing the same thing. What he does, I do, and what I do, he does. , so I realized that if it continued like this, I would never be able to beat my brother."

"So you found me? You hope that I can provide you with a training method different from your brother's, and you want to beat your brother Tyre Brown with this?" Dai Li asked.

"Yes!" Hansen-Brown nodded with certainty.

Dai Li frowned, and began to think seriously.

He has already detected Hansen-Brown. Hansen is an A+ level athlete, and his personal ability value is close to 900. It can be said that he has almost reached the limit of an A+ level athlete. In other words, the current Hansen-Brown has almost no room for improvement.

As for his elder brother Tyre Brown, although Li Dai has never met him, judging from the fact that he can beat his younger brother Hansen every time, Li Dai guesses that Tyre is at least an S-level athlete, and may also be an S-level athlete. Athletes, maybe even S+ level athletes. After all, Thiel-Brown has almost never lost in the competitions he participated in. It can be said that since Thiel reached the peak, he has indeed dominated the sport of triathlon and can show his dominant strength in a certain sport. There is a high possibility that they are S+ level athletes.

"Judging from Hansen's ability value, he has almost reached the limit of what an A+ athlete can achieve, but even so, he still can't beat his brother Thiel. It seems that it will be difficult for Hansen to beat his elder brother Thiel in this generation. gone."

Li Dai didn't tell Hansen-Brown his conclusion, he didn't want to hurt Hansen-Brown's self-confidence, but he didn't reject Hansen-Brown, but said: "Mr. A targeted training program can make you better, but I can't guarantee whether you can beat your brother Tyre Brown in the end. The only thing I can guarantee is that as long as you believe in me, after a period of time, You will be stronger than now!"

"I believe in you!" Hansen-Brown nodded solemnly: "You can lead the US track and field team to create miracles, and I believe you can also make me create miracles."

After sending Hansen-Brown out of the reception room, the receptionist at the front desk hurried over.

"Boss, there is someone out there who doesn't have Yu Yuan, but wants to see you." The receptionist said.

"No appointment? No. If he insists on seeing me, make an appointment for him." Dai Li said.

"Boss, he handed me a business card, saying that you will see him after reading this card." The receptionist handed the card to Dai Li.

Dai Li took the business card and saw Toby Crowder's name on it.

"It's Claude!" Dai Li felt a sense of joy in his heart as he met an old friend in a foreign land.

When he was in the Dingtian Club, Claude took good care of Li Dai in many ways, and finally recommended Li Dai to join Harman's team, so Li Dai is still very grateful to Claude.

But Li Dai thought about it again, Claude has his own phone, if he wants to find him, he can just call directly, why bother to find the receptionist and hand over a business card.

"So the person from outside is not Claude! But he should have something to do with Claude." Dai Li made a judgment immediately.

Thinking of this, Dai Li said, "Invite that guest to the reception room!"
