The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

2005 9 Month 29 Day.

Inter Milan defeated Rangers at home in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

The match was relatively easy.

Recoba did not play this time and was placed on the bench by Mancini.

However, Lin Mu still managed to gain twenty experience points thanks to the excellent performances of other players.

He just hadn't figured out where to add it yet.

Marco de la Casa suddenly burst into the locker room with a newspaper in hand, shouting, "Milan has made it official!"

Lin Mu was still puzzled.

The transfer window has already closed, so what can Milan announce?

"Milan says Nesta has suffered a torn tendon in his left thumb and needs immediate surgery. He will not only have to retire from the national team but will also miss four Milan matches over the next month, including the Champions League!"

Marco de la Casar didn't keep us in suspense.

The locker room instantly became cheerful.

For Inter Milan players, any bad news from Milan is good news.

And that's Nesta.

Known as the Italian defensive master, the Milan defender turned defense into an art.

It can be said.

With Maldini aging, Nesta became the team's anchor at Milan.

Now that their city rivals are missing a key defender, the next month of the league will definitely be very difficult for them.

Perhaps they can use this opportunity to widen the gap between themselves and Milan.

"Is it really just from playing with Photoshop?"

Lin Mu was skeptical of this.

While it's true that holding the handle for extended periods can cause similar symptoms.

In medicine, it also has a professional name.

PS thumb or game thumb.

The thumb's flexor and extensor muscles are repeatedly rubbed due to the constant rapid pressing of buttons and the joystick.

The tendon first becomes inflamed, then fibrotic, thins out, and eventually tears.

But this requires at least 5-6 hours of intense gaming every day.

It's not something that can be caused in just one or two days.

Lin Mu recalled reading a report that Nesta had experienced wrist pain after a Serie A match a few days prior.

He continued to play matches despite his injury.

This could have caused his thumb tendon to go from a minor strain to a complete rupture.

"The Milan lab is probably trying to shift the blame."

Lin Mu thought to himself.

However, there are quite a few examples of fancy injuries in the world of football.

For example, before the 2000 European Championship, Buffon cut his finger ligament with the razor while shaving at home.

This tournament also cemented Toldo's legendary penalty shootout record.

In the same year, former Spanish goalkeeper Canizares was taking a shower at home when a bottle of perfume fell on his foot and broke his Achilles tendon, thus relinquishing his position as the national team's starting goalkeeper.

The most bizarre and tragic case is that of former Liverpool goalkeeper Stensgaard.

He suffered a serious shoulder injury while ironing shirts at home.

After two years of unsuccessful treatment, he retired in disappointment.

And then there's former England goalkeeper Seaman, who's a fishing enthusiast.

The Air Force has been in power for a long time.

He finally caught a fish weighing twelve kilograms.

But in order to pull the fish out of the water, he paid the price of a dislocated shoulder.

This is just the goalkeeper.

Defenders, midfielders, and forwards, and even more bizarre injury stories.

For example, Bielefeld's Halfa suffered a stress fracture in his thigh while turning over in his sleep and was forced to rest for two months.

Former England player Leroy Litta strained a muscle while stretching after waking up this morning.

Brazilian soccer star Ramalho had a toothache and received a prescription from his doctor. After swallowing a large pill, he stayed in the hospital for three days because the pill was for rectal administration.

Lin Mu almost couldn't hold back when he saw these reports.

......

Nesta's injury brought joy to everyone at Inter Milan for a few days.

October has arrived.

San Rafael Hospital.

"She's recovering very well." Lin Mu looked at Elena sitting on the hospital bed. A week had passed since the girl was discharged from the hospital, and her once thin cheeks had become rounder.

It must have been after her mother made her give up the audition for the Milan Ballet.

No need for extreme dietary control anymore.

Moreover, the more Lin Mu learned about the effects of the restoration bonus badge, the more remarkable he found them.

The badge upgrade quest just hasn't been triggered yet.

Lin Mu was getting a little anxious; a 5% recovery bonus was already that powerful.

What should that 10% be like?

"You can now do some simple ballet moves, but be careful not to bend your knees too much, and it's best to avoid jumping for now."

Lin Mu gave instructions.

Upon hearing this, Elena raised her delicate face, her eyes filled with surprise.

"When can I jump?"

She asked.

She loved ballet since she was a child, but as a widely circulated saying goes, when a hobby becomes a profession, the hobby slowly dies away.

And the heavy expectations of her mother.

It also made her feel suffocated. After countless dance practice sessions, she looked at herself in the mirror and asked herself these questions.

Do I still like ballet?

she does not know.

But during her days of rest, she seemed to have figured things out.

She still loves ballet.

I want to stand on the stage I've always dreamed of.

Not for anyone.

Only for myself.

"When you've completed these basic movements and feel no discomfort whatsoever."

Lin Mu answered patiently.

Elena looked down at her knee, at the scar that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

"Uncle Wood, if I could dance at La Scala, I would definitely invite you to watch." Elena looked up and smiled brightly.

"Then I'll wait for that day to come."

Lin Mu smiled too.

I helped Elena do some simple rehabilitation exercises.

Lin Mu received a call from Moratti.

It is said that the consultant for the psychological counseling center has been finalized.

Let these people meet first to discuss the specific work content and from which aspects to proceed.

Lin Mu said goodbye to Elena and drove to the restaurant where they had eaten last time.

I just pushed the door open.

What comes into view is a rugged man with typical Italian features.

What is most striking about him are his thick eyebrows and beard.

"Giuseppe Bergomi has made over 750 appearances for our international team and was previously the team's captain."

Moratti stood up and introduced the situation.

"Hello, Wood, you may not know me, but I know you."

Bergomi extended his hand warmly.

"where."

Lin Mu grasped Bergomi's hand, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Lo zio."

Bergomi paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Because of his eyebrows and beard, he is affectionately called "Uncle" by fans, which is the word Lin Mu just mentioned.

Only after retiring.

He had forgotten how long it had been since someone had called him that.

Lin Mu was not being polite either.

He really knew Bergomi.

In the 80s, the Italian national team, brimming with talent, even had a superstar like Baresi on the bench.

Bergomi, however, was different.

He has been a regular starter for the Italian national team since 1982.

What's even more interesting is...

When there are two excellent teams in a city.

Those legendary players were often fans of another team at the beginning.

Similarly, Bergomi initially developed a love for Milan from a young age due to the influence of his family.

As a result, he ended up at Inter Milan by a twist of fate.

The process of retiring was not pleasant; he was purged by then-Inter Milan coach Marcello Lippi.

At that time, Bergomi could have gone to other teams, but he ultimately chose to retire because he didn't want to wear another team's jersey.

Lin Mu originally thought that Moratti wouldn't be able to invite this big shot.
