The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Silence fell in the locker room as Mancini took a few deep breaths and reviewed the first half of the game.

Lin Mu, sitting in the corner, still seemed a little lost.

Is this reality?

It was more fantastical than a novel; they started arguing without warning.

He was also a little angry; how could he not be upset when someone treated him like this out of nowhere?

But his professional ethics as a doctor told him so.

Inter Milan desperately needs a psychological counseling department.

The tension in the locker room is evident from the relationship between Adriano and Veron, not to mention the various factions.

Inter Milan has not won the Serie A title since 1989.

The anxiety of winning a championship has seeped into the very bones of players, fans, and coaches. They are afraid of losing again after losing, and they are also afraid of losing after winning.

It can easily collapse inexplicably.

With captain Zanetti absent, no one could control the players. Materazzi was easily angered, Adriano was under a lot of off-field pressure, and Veron and Cambiasso had poor stress tolerance.

All of these issues can be alleviated or even resolved through psychological counseling.

The Milan Lab, at the forefront of the times, has proven with facts just how much of a role a dedicated psychological department can play for players.

Lin Mu had another idea.

That is integrated psychological and physical therapy.

These two shouldn't be separated too clearly, especially in sports medicine.

Lin Mu closed his eyes and focused on entering the system interface.

Under the tree of sports clinical medicine.

Sports cardiology, sports endocrinology, sports psychology...

"Found it."

The interface changes.

Sports psychology: interventions specifically targeting competitive performance, stress and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addictive behaviors.

"Wood..."

After Mancini finished explaining the tactics and the players left the locker room, Mancini came over and interrupted Lin Mu's thoughts.

"Mr. Mancini, I think the club should have a dedicated psychological counseling center, similar to Milan's Mind Room. The team is already under a lot of psychological pressure."

Lin Mu also knew that Mancini was in a very difficult position.

We can't exactly make him apologize on behalf of Perón, can we?

"After the match, I told Mr. Moratti that I would definitely support your work!" Mancini also felt that what Lin Mu said made sense.

Inter Milan's psychological counseling system is completely unsystematic these days.

There is no dedicated psychological team; almost all the team doctors and coaches work part-time, and the only human psychological counselor is Rossi.

Moreover, she only chats with players occasionally.

Most importantly, she has no experience as a professional player.

Inability to empathize.

Lin Mu believes that the most important aspect of sports psychology is empathy.

Of course, he also lacked professional experience, so when recruiting, he decided to look for people with similar backgrounds.

"Proactive intervention will always yield better results than reactive intervention."

Lin Mu rubbed his temples.

I've been going back and forth between San Rafael Hospital and the club lately.

He was also exhausted.

We need to consult with the hospital before setting up a dedicated department.

It would be best to form a partnership.

After all, this isn't something he could do alone.

"I'll take a minor in psychology when I have time later." Lin Mu jotted down many thoughts and looked up to continue watching the second half of the game.

The conflict during halftime ultimately affected the game.

Veron was verbally warned by the referee after committing another foul.

"Santiago!"

Mancini pointed angrily at the substitutes' bench, "Stop warming up, warm up on the field first!"

The assistant coach immediately went to report to the fourth official.

When the stadium loudspeaker announced the substitutions and the fourth official held up a sign, the number on which Veron saw it.

He seemed to hear the boos from the Inter Milan fans.

Argentinians were also blinded by anger.

He even considered refusing to be substituted, but the last bit of reason in his mind told him otherwise.

If I refuse to play today.

That would mean the end of his professional career.

Today's football scene is not the future; star players act like divas, and coaches can't do anything about it.

The current head coach has absolute authority.

"We saw that Veron seemed very unhappy. He truly lives up to his reputation as a 'troublemaker.' He didn't high-five Solari and left the field directly into the players' tunnel."

Sky Sports commentators thought to themselves that there would be more news to dig up over the weekend.

Last season, Veron did something similar in the Champions League quarter-finals, and almost got into a fight with his opponent.

And the current captain of the Argentine national team is Sorin.

Perhaps next year at the World Cup, the talent-rich Argentine team will not have a place for Veron.

"If you ask me, we should send Juan back to Chelsea in the winter transfer window. I don't believe he would dare to do such a thing under Mourinho."

Marco de la Casar was very unhappy.

Lin Mu shrugged noncommittally and continued watching the game. After Veron was substituted, Inter Milan stabilized the situation.

The score remained unchanged until the final whistle blew.

Lin Mu was about to clap, but seeing Mancini's expression, he awkwardly withdrew his hands.

He learned about it from television that evening.

Mancini criticized Veron in the post-match press conference.

......

Noon the next day.

Dulini Avenue.

Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia.

Lin Mu looked around at this oldest two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Milan.

Its name comes from the founders, a husband and wife. If it were in China, it would be similar to "Wang Dachui and Li Xiaohua's Restaurant".

The shop is very small.

It can only accommodate fewer than 20 tables of guests.

He didn't expect Moratti to invite him to dinner here.

Given Moratti's high standards, shouldn't he be eating at a private chef's restaurant?

Lin Mu stood at the door for two seconds, and a middle-aged man in a dark suit came up to him: "Mr. Wood, Mr. Moratti is waiting for you in the private room."

When he was led to the private room, Moratti had already arrived.

"Wood, his restaurant serves authentic Tuscan food, and I'm quite familiar with Nadia, so I invited you here."

Moratti gestured to the waiter to serve the food, "What would you like to drink?"

"Champagne, please," Lin Mu said without ceremony.

"Okay." Moratti smiled.

Others were always too reserved in his presence, even Recoba, whom he favored, felt a bit distant from him.

But the trees are different.

It's like treating him as an ordinary friend.

When the sommelier brought the wine, Lin Mu glanced at the label.

Bellavista.

One of the best sparkling wines in Italy, it's just as good as the big brands from France.

Moratti's home is nestled among the lakes and mountains of their production area.

The Moretti family owns this winery.

Like the Moratti family, they are a Lombard family that started with real industries.

"Actually, I prefer Angel's Brew, but the Bella Vista family has a philosophy that they believe Italy can produce something that is just as good as anywhere else."

Moratti's tone was complex.

Because he, too, believed that Inter Milan, under his leadership, could be just as good as any big-name club.

But the reality is heartbreaking.

"By the way, Mancini told me that you want to set up a psychological counseling center. Tell me your thoughts."

Moratti is not one to wallow in sadness.

No matter how heartbreaking reality may be, he will persevere to the end.
