Chapter 286 First Arrival in Recife
The Chinese team and the Ukrainian team arrived in Recife on the same day. The training bases of both sides are in the suburbs of Recife. The Chinese team is in the south of the city, while the Ukraine is in the west of the city. They are far apart. The training base of the Chinese team has two training fields and a five-star hotel.
After coming to Brazil, many players have formed the habit of "talking on the phone" with their families to relieve stress. Now, everyone is not happy. They can only use the hotel phone to call home, but that is not as convenient as a mobile phone.
After learning that Li Qiao was injured, Li Shan immediately sent a text message to Li Qiao, asking him to call home.
"Hello, Dad",
"Your mother is here too",
"Oh, Mom and Dad", Li Qiao called very sweetly.
"How's your injury?"
"No problem, I can participate in individual training today, try training with the ball tomorrow",
"If you can't, don't be brave, you are still young",
"Haha, Mom and Dad, don't worry, our team doctor is super strict, it's impossible for your son to be brave."
"That's good." Li Shan's tone was much more relaxed.
"Did you know that every time there is a game, our house almost turns into a bar, and our relatives will come to watch the game. The excitement is very lively, but your mother is exhausted."
"How can it be like this, next time you finish watching, you lock the door, and everyone stays to help clean up before you are allowed to leave," Li Qiao said.
Mother Li on the other end of the phone burst out laughing.
"Mom, am I right"?
"Actually, I'm not tired, but I was worried when I saw you injured in the last game."
Even if Li's mother didn't say it, Li Qiao would know it. When watching the live broadcast, the relatives must be very anxious.
"Mom, I was injured for the country, it's very honorable",
Mama Li smiled cheerfully.
"Mom and Dad, are you really not coming to Brazil to watch my game live?"
"It's too far away, I really don't want to tire my old bones," Li Shan said.
Li Qiao could only smile helplessly, "Okay then, I'll bring a gift for you two when I return to China."
Suddenly there was a noisy voice on the other end of the phone, and everyone was talking, "I want it too, I want it too."
Li Qiao listened carefully, he seemed to be from a relative's family.
"So you are all here",
"Brother Li Qiao, you are amazing",
"Oh, so it's cousin Xiaodou, tell me, what gift do you want?"
"I want the game ball",
"This is easy, I'll bring you one",
One after another, the relatives all said what they wanted, only Mother Li, and Li Shan said nothing, Li Qiao's safe return would be the best gift for them.
*****
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiao looked at the scenery outside on the balcony of the guest room. Today's training is over, and there are no teammates on the training ground. Li Qiao looked at his right leg thoughtfully, "I don't know if I can recover in time"?
Just when Li Qiao was distracted, Qi Bing hurried in.
"Beauty. Girl is coming",
"Speak slowly, seeing that you are out of breath, what's the matter"?
"The beauty is here, now in the hotel cafe",
Li Qiao thought: "There is still a shortage of beauties on the streets of Brazil",
"Is this the first time you've met a woman"?
Qi Bing shook his head and said, "This time I'm looking for you."
"Find me"?
"yes",
"It must be the wrong person, I have no acquaintances in Brazil",
"She's not Brazilian, she's the one you picked up in Ukraine",
"Diana"?
"yes",
Li Qiao stood up and hit Qi Bing on the head, "You can just say it, you're kidding me."
Qi Bing said: "Mainly, she is also the goddess in my heart, I don't want to take the initiative to admit that she is your girlfriend."
Li Qiao waved his hand and said, "You're looking for a draw, aren't you?"
Qi Bing chuckled and said, "Go, she's been waiting for you in the coffee shop for a while."
*****
Li Qiao tidied himself up in the elevator in front of the mirror, "Not bad".
Walking into the coffee shop, there are not many people, because the hotel is full of staff from the Brazil World Cup, so there is no need to worry about privacy. With Li Qiao's reputation now, he needs to guard against the paparazzi when he meets someone.
Li Qiao walked up to Diana and sat down, "Long time no see, I miss you so much."
Diana chuckled and said, "I didn't miss you."
"Then you still come to see me"?
"I didn't come to see you, but the Ukrainian team came to Recife, and I'm with the team."
Li Qiao watched the news. Diana became popular during the World Cup. Now she is like "Susanna" in 98. She is considered a World Cup celebrity. Every time a Ukrainian game is broadcast, the director has to show Diana at least 5 shots.
"Oh, by the way, where are Ms. Eva and Eugene"?
"Mom is a little unwell, and she returned to China early, that fellow Eugene accompanied her back",
"It's a pity, otherwise I would still be able to meet them. To be honest, I really miss them," Li Qiao thought.
"By the way, your good friend, Prahimi asked me to greet you",
"Why didn't he come in person?" Immediately, Li Qiao realized that he was wrong. He was busy with the competition just like himself, so how could he come out.
"Oh, I was wrong, but there should always be a phone call"?
"The mobile phone signal there is not good," Diana said flatly.
"Hi, hello, Diana," Qi Bing said.
"When did this guy come out"?Li Qiao thought.
"We've seen it before, when we were kids, we used to connect to MSN," Qi Bing said.
Diana ignored him and just smiled.
"Get out of here." Li Qiao was not polite this time, but it made Diana burst out laughing.
"Let's catch up with old friends," Qi Bing said.
"Get out or not"?
No way, Qi Bing stood up and left, making faces behind Li Qiao's back as he left.
After recovering, Li Qiao said: "Forget it, see you on the court anyway."
Li Qiao's words caused Diana to frown, "You're hurt. Are you okay?"
In fact, Diana came to see Li Qiao for this purpose. If Li Qiao was fine, she would not come, she didn't want Li Qiao to be distracted.
"Actually, I'm not sure. It doesn't hurt anymore when I run, but the team doctor said that the muscles are still a little inflamed."
"Promise me, if you can't do it, don't force it, I don't want my boyfriend to become a lame",
Li Qiao was amused, "If you had seen our team doctor, you wouldn't be so worried. If he said I couldn't play, even Stan wouldn't dare to talk back to him."
Diana nodded, "That's good."
After drinking coffee, Diana was about to leave, and Li Qiao was a little bit reluctant, but now was not the time to flirt with each other, "If you see Prahimi, tell him for me, I'm fine, see you on the court."
"Be sure to bring it," said Diana.
*****
The next day, Li Qiao started training with the ball. The physical fitness coach fed him the ball. First, he did simple passing and then shooting training. After 10 minutes, Li Qiao still felt a little tight in his leg muscles. He went to the side to do some stretching, but the situation still did not improve.
In desperation, Li Qiao found Dong Zhou.
"Why the muscles don't hurt anymore, but they just feel tight",
"Because if the injury is not completely healed, the muscle will become fibrotic and lose its elasticity,"
"so serious"?
Dong Zhou nodded.
"Is there a cure"?
"No, it's as if a person is sleepy. No matter how much coffee he drinks, it's better to sleep for an hour. The same is true for muscles. As long as you rest and the inflammation disappears, there will be no problem."
"I understand the truth, but..."
Dong Zhou didn't let Li Qiao finish, "I'm a doctor, not a fairy, there's nothing wrong with it, if you want to recover, you have to rest."
"But there are still two and a half days before the start of the competition, so there is still time," Li Qiao said.
Dong Zhou just wanted to refute, but this time Li Qiao didn't intend to let him finish, "Before the game starts, let's not give up early, okay?"
Dong Zhou was moved, he had never seen such a persistent young man, "Okay, I promise you, but if your body is not up to the standard for the game, don't expect me to open the back door for you."
Li Qiao nodded vigorously, agreeing.
*****
The legs cannot be practiced and need to rest, so Li Qiao went to the gym to practice the upper body, and at the same time, he hired a physical therapist to massage the injured part.
The physical therapists of the Chinese team are different from those in foreign countries. They are equipped with physical therapists who understand Chinese medicine, so after the massage, the physical therapists will give Li Qiao acupuncture and moxibustion on the injured parts.
On the day before the game, when Li Qiao was in treatment, Stan came to find Li Qiao, "come and see you".
Li Qiao suddenly felt a little nervous, "Could it be that I was notified that I won't be able to play tomorrow"?
"How's it going, little tiger?"
"Hehe", Li Qiao laughed, Stan had never called him that before.
"Feeling good and ready to play",
"That's good, you're part of my plans," Stan said.
This sentence is so touching, "As long as it is your plan, I will respect it unconditionally, whether it includes me or not," Li Qiao said.
"That's good",
Stan looked at the physical therapist who was doing acupuncture and asked, "Does this thing really work?"
"According to the "Huangdi Neijing".",
As soon as Stan heard that he was going to quote the classics, he immediately made a "stop" gesture. Stan doesn't like other people's reasoning. I asked you if it was useful. Just tell me "yes" or "no".You talked for a long time, but in the end I still don't understand.
Li Qiao smiled and answered for him: "It's very comfortable."
Stan looked at it and thought: "I can do acupuncture like this, it's also a craft"?
"Okay then, you have a good rest, I still have something to do",
Li Qiao nodded and looked at Stan's leaving back, feeling a little lost in his heart, "Stan must be more entangled in whether to let me play or not."
"Why do you always get hurt when you shouldn't be hurt"?Li Qiao thought.
Today is the last day of 2015, thank you for your support this year, we will continue our football journey together next year
