Godfather Of Champions

George Wood is injured! ! !

This is the headline of the sports edition of the Times. It is very eye-catching, and the three exclamation marks are even more frightening.

But no one expressed dissent and puzzled over such a title. All England fans should know the fact that George Wood has never missed a game due to injury in the twelve years since he joined the professional league. The only "injury" he has suffered before was bleeding from the forehead after a collision with Makelele in the 2007-08 Champions League final.

If it weren't for Tony Dunn's intentional rotation, George Wood could even set a Guinness World Record-a record that has never missed a game since his career. The Premier League may be the league with the most matches in a single season in the European League, because there are only two of them in the domestic cup and only one in other countries. And there is no winter break in the Premier League, and the schedule is intensive and long. Few players can play all the games throughout the season.

Lampard was born at Chelsea and became an iron man because he played all of Chelsea's more than fifty games that season, and he played 90 minutes in each game.

To achieve such results, physical strength must be good. This is the entire prerequisite. Secondly, there must be a stable state, and the most important thing is not to be easily injured.

Lampard did it in two seasons at his peak. And George Wood did it almost ten years ago.

No one has ever seen him cramping and exhausting his legs on the court, and no one has seen him leave the court due to injury and burst into tears. The biggest reason that can keep him from playing is the red card suspension.

In his twelve years of professional career, he kicked and broke the legs of several people, causing many people to be carried away on a stretcher. He stood as an alien creature.

Nottingham Forest does not believe that Wood will be injured. He is like the ancient Greek hero Achilles soaked in the water of the Styx. He is invulnerable and will not be injured at all. England fans believe that England's patron saint is the invincible embodiment, an undead victory. As a dragon slaying hero, "Saint George" was sprayed with dragon blood, and naturally also possessed the ability to be harmless and not die.

These legends fit Wood's personal image so much that everyone forgets that Wood is actually a living human being...

The picture of George Wood being carried off the court on a stretcher is in the most eye-catching position of the major media. Even if reporters and fans who are familiar with Wood are familiar with this picture, they must have seen this picture for the first time.

Under this photo, it is the original words of the forest team doctor Fleming during the interview:

"...The situation is terrible. He has a fractured right big toe...I don't know how long it will take to recover...He is emotionally stable..."

It's certainly impossible for Fleming not to know how long it will take Wood to recover, because he officially told Walker the three-month deadline.

However, he lied to the media because Dunn called him and asked him not to tell the time. At the very least, I cannot let the media know the desperate period of "three months" before I have an interview with Wood.

At this time, Dunn was sitting in the ward with Wood, while Sophia was cutting apples for her son.

"You are now the most famous person in England, George." Dunn smiled and said to Wood who was sitting on the hospital bed.

"Is it because I was injured for the first time?" It looks like Wood has recovered from yesterday's injury, and at least his eyes are no longer dull.

"Before I came, I read some media comments. Some people said that the news of your injury is comparable to the Queen's pregnancy. Haha!" Dunn laughed.

Wood didn't smile, just looking at Dunn, Dunn also felt a little boring, so he closed his smile and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Is it hurt? It hurts..."

"No, I'm asking how you feel about this matter now?"

Wood was silent for a while and asked a question that Dunn didn't know how to answer: "Do I still hope to participate in the European Cup?"

He must not know that his injury can heal at least three months.

In fact, this question is also the reason why Dunn came to Wood. George Wood is the most important piece of chess in his plan, anyone in England can do without it, but Wood is indispensable. Over the past two years, Dunn has continued to transform England, making this team accustomed to Wood as the core. Whether it is offense or defense, it is inseparable from his scheduling. George Wood is not the kind of midfielder that threatens the ball with the last pass, but he is the metronome of the team. The overall performance of the team is directly related to him. Just like Albertini at the beginning, Sacchi has said that "Albertini sneezes and Italy catches a cold." Wood now has the same effect on Italy as Albertini did.

George Wood was injured, and England's prospects in the European Cup were undoubtedly clouded.

From Dunn's hesitation, Wood read the answer to his question. Then he felt very unwilling. I have won all the honors in the club, but I have never gained anything in the national team. Now it’s 30 in a blink of an eye...According to the standard of an ordinary professional player, his career has begun to decline after the age of 30. He doesn’t know how many years he can play, but the World Series is held every four years, and he knows himself. Few four years can be wasted.

When he was young, he met McLaren and Eriksson, who didn't like him. In 2006, he didn't get any chances on the bench. In 2008, England didn't qualify at all. He was twenty-four years old when he was a blockbuster in world football in the 2010 World Cup, but it is a pity that England eventually stopped in the semi-finals. He participated in the 2012 London Olympics and the Poland-Ukraine European Cup. His amazing physical ability allowed him to cope with two important events in a row. However, the team's results were not satisfactory. The Olympic bronze medal and the European Cup semi-finals. It seems that the best result he can achieve in a national team game is third. In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, England did not even break into the quarterfinals this time. Because he was in no state and played abnormally, the team was eventually blocked from the quarterfinals. He also became the subject of verbal criticism from the English media after the game. Fortunately, his psychological quality was excellent and he did not sink into it.

After Dunn became the head coach of England, George Wood also ushered in his most glorious period in the national team, even though he was 28 years old after that. He became the captain of England and became the core of the England team. He was going to show his fists at the peak of a professional player at the age of 30. When he won his first honor in the national team under the leadership of the boss, he was injured two months before the start of the European Cup. .

Really good luck...

All his ambitions became a joke at the moment of injury.

Not being able to win honors in the national team has always been Wood's heart disease. He is really unwilling to stay away like this, perhaps the best opportunity of his career.

When Dunn was still considering how to answer Wood's question, so as not to irritate him, Wood had already spoken.

"I made a decision."

"Ok?"

"I want to participate in the European Cup." Wood said in a calm tone.

Sophia, who was concentrating on cutting apples for two people, raised her head slightly and looked at her son.

"Huh?" Dunn didn't react. "After four years, you will be thirty-four years old...well, with your physical condition, I believe you will have no problem playing until you are forty-four..."

"It's not the European Cup in four years, but the European Cup in June this year." Wood said.

"Your injury..." Dunn pointed to his right foot.

"I think two months should be fine."

"You have no experience of injury, I have to listen to the doctor." Dunn shook his head. "I'll talk to the doctor in a moment."

"Then shut down." Wood made another suggestion.

"Blocking is not a cure, it just makes you less painful. That would be worse..." Dunn continued to shake his head and denied this suggestion.

"I don't care, I must go to Spain!" Wood was a bit arrogant and unreasonable.

"George, how do you talk to Mr. Dunn?" Dunn just opened her mouth, and Sophia on the side preempted to teach.

"It's okay, ma'am..." Dunn smiled at Sophia. This beautiful woman's aging appearance fell in his eyes, and it really hurt him. How amazing it was when I saw her in the slums, as if the whole world had lost its color because of her... Uh, it was far away.

Dunn returned his attention to Wood. "I understand your feelings, George. But you have to think about it in the long run. Your career is still very long, and I don't want to ruin it for a European Cup."

"I'm thirty years old, isn't it about to start going downhill at this time?"

"With your physical condition and living habits, I guarantee you can play until at least forty, George."

Wood leaned his upright body a little later and leaned on the bed: "I won't think about the future."

Seize the day?

Dunn thought to himself that this kid Wood was as stubborn as himself. Ten horses may not be able to pull back. I'm afraid it won't work to refuse directly.

"Well, George. I have to talk to the attending physician first to find out how your injury is, and then decide... I assure you, as long as there is hope of recovery within two months, I will definitely take you Go to Spain. What do you think of this?"

Saying that Cao Cao had arrived, and as he was talking, the attending physician Professor Wallace knocked on the door and entered.

He greeted the people in the room with a smile on his face, then greeted Wood, and began to check him.

Dunn gave up the space in front of the bed and watched the other party finish the examination. Then he winked at Professor Wallace, and the professor clearly followed Dunn out.

※※※

"George's injury is okay?" Seeing this famous professor in academia smile from the door to the door, Dunn's heart moved. This person is the former chairman of the British Sports Medicine Research Association. His expression is calm. Maybe Wood is fine, but Fleming's estimation is wrong?

"I don't think it's good for you, Mr. Dunn." Professor Wallace smiled and shook his head.

"I see you have been smiling..." Dunn was puzzled.

"Generally speaking, Mr. Dunn... If you see my face collapsed, it means that some unlucky man is about to amputate his limbs." The smile on Wallace's face was still there, but Dunn felt cold on his back.

"Well, this is really good news..." Dunn mumbled. "How long will it take to recover?"

"At least three months." Wallace showed three fingers.

Like Fleming's prediction, Dunn's brows wrinkled. He hesitated, intending to ask a question. But the opponent blocked his mouth first.

"I know what you want to ask, Mr. Dunn. Although I am an England fan and a Nottingham Forest fan, I want to tell you that it is impossible." He shook his arms to strengthen his tone. "George Wood must It is impossible to recover before the European Cup. He will never participate in this European Cup."

Dunn glanced at the door of the ward, worried that Wood would hear what the doctor said. Then he gestured to Wallace to continue walking: "Can we go further?"

Wallace nodded and agreed readily.

After the two people walked to the end of the corridor, Dunn made sure that George Wood would never hear what they were talking about, and then said to Wallace: "Two months, is it possible?" He held up two fingers.

"I told you just now, Mr. Dunn. It's absolutely impossible."

"Is there really not a trace?" Dunn stared at each other.

Wallace did not shy away from this aggressive look: "The toe is a very complicated part. He is not a sprain, but a fracture. Generally speaking, it takes three to six months for such an injury to fully recover, even if it is faster. Zhou, he can’t perform recovery training at all in these two months, and his muscles will shrink naturally. If you want him to return to the court, you need to arrange more time for him to perform recovery training. After he can play, The European Cup is also over... There needs to be frequent touches. It is not good at all, because a second injury may occur, and the situation will be even more troublesome. So I don't recommend that you force him to come back early."

These words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the last gleam of hope in Dun En's heart. "But George hopes to participate in this European Cup. He is thirty years old..." He muttered, not so much persuading Wallace as he was talking to himself.

Seeing Dunn's head down and slumped, Wallace, who has always adhered to his professional ethics, suddenly felt a little soft. He said: "Perhaps...well, two months is not impossible. George's body has always been strong. This may be helpful to his recovery. But if it can be done, you need to pray for a miracle, Mr. Dunn."

Dunn raised his head abruptly, he didn't see the smile and shiny eyes on the other side. Wallace shrugged to him: "I don't guarantee that you will get the news you want in two months, Mr. Dunn. I can only do my best. In addition, I have to pray that everything goes well in his recovery."

"Of course!" Dunn nodded excitedly, this was the best news he had heard today.

※※※

He sent Professor Wallace away and returned to the ward. Wood did not ask Dunn what he had talked with the doctor, and if there were any results. Dunn didn't tell him that, he just chatted with two people casually, ate the apple that Sophia handed him, and got up and left.

The reporters who had been blocked by security guards saw Dunn walking out from inside wearing sunglasses, and they surrounded him. I want to hear what he has to say.

"How is George, Mr. Dunn?"

"Will his injury affect his participation in the summer European Cup?"

"Do you have anything to say about Wood's injury, Mr. Dunn?"

"George Wood is already at the core of England, do you have a second plan, Mr. Dunn?"

"Tony! Hey, Tony..."

"Mr. Dunn, Mr. Dunn, please answer my question!"

In the noise, Dunn couldn't even hear what questions the reporters asked. Under the protection of the security, he squeezed hard to get to his car. After pulling the car door, he turned around and said to the reporters: "I can only tell you that neither George nor I gave up the hope of letting him play in the European Cup. "

Then he got into the car and walked away.

Wood’s injury attracted the attention of the whole of England overnight. Various media are tirelessly reporting the news of his injury. The major media have tried their best to buy doctors, nurses and even cleaners from the Royal College of Medicine Hospital of the University of Nottingham, just hoping to know something. George Wood's recent situation.

While the Spanish defender Enrique who shoveled Wood repeatedly claimed that he didn't mean to, and called Wood to apologize after the game, the angry Englishman did not want to let him go. Even Newcastle fans ran to the training base to protest his crude foul, and the media were holding on to this issue, and they wanted to portray Enrique into a "national enemy" posture.

The media also raised this foul to the height of a "conspiracy." Think Enrique must have been instigated by some people in Spain. Even Spain’s own media have admitted that Enrique’s shoveling of Wood will be very beneficial to Spain’s European Cup game, because the England team that has lost Wood will greatly reduce the threat to Spain to win the championship.

In his column, Tony Dunn lashed out at Newcastle head coach Kinnear, criticizing him for his lack of professional ethics and for indulging his players to deliberately injure opposing players during the game and do whatever they can to win. At this time, Carl Spike couldn’t risk the world’s disgrace and satirize Dunn how he didn’t remember how he did it before...Because at this time, if he helped the Irish coach of Newcastle to speak, it would be tantamount to setting himself up. The opposite of the whole of England, he will wait to be attacked by rotten eggs and tomatoes at his door.

Poor Kinnell weakly defended himself, claiming that he did not arrange for players to deliberately target George Wood. It was just an accident on the football field. Such accidents often happen. It cannot be because the injury is the core of the England team. Just verbally criticize yourself.

But who cares about him so much? Many people who originally had hope and longing for England's European Cup prospects seemed to be poured from start to finish by a basin of cold water. Wood was badly injured. What about England? Our hopes of winning are gone, who is responsible?

It's that Kinnear! And Enrique!

This incident even drew in the Spanish media. His players were insulted in England and the Spanish media were also very upset. The media on both sides officially started war.

William Hill made some adjustments to the original odds. England's odds to win the championship changed from 1 to 7 to 1 to 9. They don’t do this often, which only shows that George Wood is too important to the England team now...

When the outside world was getting messy, the guy who was worried by countless people was lying on the hospital bed and went to sleep quietly.

He has made his own decision, and there is nothing to worry about after this. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
