Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, what brings you here?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in the hospital, was unaware of his condition.

It wasn't until his family arrived that he realized the seriousness of the situation.

He turned to Deng Kai: "Kai, do I... have some kind of terminal illness?"

Upon hearing this, Ronaldo's family immediately burst into tears, with his mother and sister weeping uncontrollably.

The atmosphere of sadness was rendered to its extreme.

Deng Kai's words of comfort had no effect.

Finally, the doctor and Trigra appeared together.

At Deng Kai's insistence, everyone informed and discussed Ronaldo's current situation in front of him.

The collision was purely accidental; the violent impact caused Ronaldo's heart to stop and also resulted in a broken rib.

Thanks to Deng Kai's timely intervention, Cristiano Ronaldo suffered no lasting effects.

Of course, doctors have reason to suspect that Ronaldo's rib fracture was not caused by the impact, but by the excessive force used by Deng Kai during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

This situation can occur when hospitals are resuscitating patients, especially the elderly or those who are too frail.

But a broken bone is better than no breath at all!

Moreover, at Deng Kai's request, the hospital conducted another in-depth examination.

The results showed that Cristiano Ronaldo had a minor problem called "tachycardia," which had not been detected in previous examinations.

It's not serious, just a minor problem.

When most people go for a physical exam, they will be diagnosed with "sinus arrhythmia," and doctors will always tell you that this means there is no problem.

Cristiano Ronaldo's tachycardia is similar to this, and it won't have much impact on his career.

In fact, appropriate physical exercise is even more beneficial for Cristiano Ronaldo.

But... doctors always mention the worst possible outcome when they speak.

Your eye hurts, and it may go away on its own after a while, but you should ask a doctor, who will tell you that there is a risk of retinal detachment.

You might feel a little short of breath, which might be fine by the next day, but to a doctor, it could mean anything from bronchitis to lung cancer.

Can you say the doctor is irresponsible?

He just doesn't want to take responsibility, so he won't give his own judgment casually.

Doctors are no longer held responsible, but this pressure falls on the patients.

This kind of pressure can potentially lead to new illnesses for the patient.

According to statistics, 95 percent of anxiety patients believe they have a serious illness or terminal disease.

Some of these people developed anxiety disorder after seeing a doctor for physical discomfort.

Anyone who has been sick knows that physical pain is one thing, but mental pain can sometimes be even more devastating.

In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine in ancient times did a much better job in this regard.

Psychological comfort and reassurance are also essential courses in traditional Chinese medicine.

The reason I'm mentioning this is because doctors believe that, under extreme circumstances, an excessively fast heart rate could cause Ronaldo to repeat his condition from today.

No, it shouldn't be called extreme.

For a normal person, this is truly an extreme case and can almost be ignored.

But Cristiano Ronaldo is different.

He is destined to become a professional athlete.

Football is almost an extreme sport in both aerobic and anaerobic aspects.

There were many collisions, confrontations, and falls.

This greatly increases the probability of dangerous situations caused by Ronaldo's tachycardia.

Although it is still an extremely low probability event, it has changed from occurring once every fifty years to possibly occurring once every ten years.

This is dangerous enough.

Later, Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen suffered the same fate during a European Championship match. He was saved by the team doctor's best efforts, but his career was severely impacted as a result.

"So now we need to determine one thing, which is whether Ronaldo will have surgery to completely cure this condition," the doctor said.

"I won't do it!" Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to object, shaking his head frantically.

The fear of death is always felt only after the fact.

After Cristiano Ronaldo's incident, he was initially more relaxed than others.

But as he learned more about the situation, he saw the footage of Deng Kai trying to save him. He realized he had no memory of that time, and he panicked and became afraid.

He dared not close his eyes, for he feared that once he did, he would never be able to open them again.

The surgery requires general anesthesia.

He was also worried that the anesthesiologist might administer too much anesthetic, which could cause him to never wake up again.

A jumble of distracting thoughts occupied Ronaldo's mind.

Many of his guesses are unlikely to happen; they're not just low-probability, but rather the misunderstanding of someone's profession by an uninformed layman.

But there's no way to calm someone who has just died.

He can't do it!

"If I have surgery, what will happen to the team? The team will definitely lose." Ronaldo gave himself this reason.

"The team can accept losing," Triguera said, adding that he can withstand any pressure as long as Ronaldo is healthy.

"It's just an U17 match, I can lead everyone to play well on my own," Deng Kai said. "You should focus on your surgery. After you come back in a month or two, we're going to move up to the U19 team."

"Winning or losing in the U17 matches doesn't matter."

"You don't actually think the Portuguese U15 league champions really count as champions, do you?"

"In the future, these things will not be recorded in our encyclopedia entries at all."

"There won't be any UEFA Youth League titles, or even the UEFA U-16 Championship titles."

"The professional arena is just the starting point for a football player. Before the race officially begins, you can still do some preparation. But once it really starts, you'll never have that kind of time again."

"You don't want us to suddenly have to undergo this surgery when we're about to win the Champions League, do you?"

"If you don't do it now, you'll have to pay me back a Champions League title, you know?"

Cristiano Ronaldo was caught up in Deng Kai's blatant robbery: "Heh, does that mean if I have surgery now, you'll compensate me with a Champions League trophy?"

Deng Kai held up three fingers: "No problem."

Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Deng Kai's fingers: "Isn't 'no problem' the thumb and forefinger touching? That's the 'OK' gesture. What do you mean by touching your thumb and pinky? Are you messing with me?"

Deng Kai's lips curled into a smile: "Where we're from, this gesture is called 'I swear,' and it's even more effective than 'OK.' If you don't understand, you can ask, but don't pretend you do, okay?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, looking impatient, snapped, "Get out of here! Focus on playing well in the league first. If you can't even win a single game in the league, I'm afraid I'll be waiting for your Champions League title until I'm old and dying!"

Cristiano Ronaldo's mother slapped him across the face, saying, "Don't say such unlucky things!"

Cristiano Ronaldo covered his face, laughing and crying at the same time.

Deng Kai and Triguera then left the ward, giving Ronaldo and his family some time alone.

The doctors are also contacting specialists, and the surgery is expected to be performed within a week.

The heart is recovering quickly, and I expect to be fully recovered in two weeks after the surgery.

However, a rib fracture usually takes at least three months to heal.

Therefore, taking everything into consideration, it's best to rest as much as possible and discuss other things again in six months.

Triguera said no problem, he could even let Ronaldo rest for a year.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
