Chapter 152 A month is always shorter than a year
Dortmund's team doctor Dr. Braun came on the court. When he was treating Mark, Zhou Yi was standing next to him, and other Dortmund players also ran over one after another.
Mark has a good popularity in the team. On the one hand, he is a pure Nan stand, and on the other hand, he is low-key and kind, does not cause trouble, and has a good personality. Naturally, no one will be unhappy with him.
His injuries also touched the hearts of many people.
Captain Weidenfeller did not step forward, but stayed behind to protest to the referee that the Donetsk Miners had not performed sports ethically. He believed that after Mark was injured, the Donetsk Miners players should take the initiative to kick the football out, causing a dead ball so that Dortmund's team doctor could enter the field to treat Mark.
But the Donetsk Miners did not do this, and Zhou Yi had no choice but to hold his arms straight on his waist. Therefore, the referee should not be so strict with Zhou Yi and gave Zhou Yi a yellow card.
Zhou Yi didn't take the yellow card to heart at all now. He stood beside Mark with a frown, worried that the situation would be bad.
If Mark had just been seriously injured for more than a year and had just returned from injury after recovering from injury and was about to suffer another injury, Zhou Yi was very worried about Mark's future.
Unexpectedly, Mark was in a normal mood. Seeing Zhou Yi frowning, he smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "Are you saying goodbye to my body?"
Zhou Yi was very surprised. He didn't expect Mark to be able to make jokes...
"It's just a muscle strain. I know very well that Zhou Yi is no big deal."
After he finished speaking, Dr. Braun, who was checking next to him, also gave the answer: "Well, muscle strain. But it's not easy, Mark."
Hearing this, Mark shrugged.
Zhou Yi just stared at Mark in a daze, unable to understand why Mark was so calm.
The referee came up to ask Dr. Braun if he needed a stretcher. Dr. Braun originally wanted to nod, but Mark said: "No, I can walk by myself, just walk slowly."
Braun looked at him and said, "Then I'll help you down."
Then Mark got up from the ground with some difficulty, and limped off the court with the help of Dr. Brian.
Because Dortmund has used up all three substitutions and Mark is unable to return to the court, Dortmund can only play 10 to 11 next, but fortunately there is not much time left for the remaining game, and the Donetsk Miners are not able to take advantage of this opportunity to score another goal.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Dortmund tied the Donetsk Miners 2:2 away. They scored two away goals, and there was a great hope of advancing back to home.
But this result actually does not satisfy Dortmund's supporters, because everyone's original expectation was to defeat Donesque Miners away. Now, not only did they not win away, but the players were also injured.
Mark's injury is probably the biggest loss for Dortmund in this game.
At the post-match press conference, Klopp also answered questions about Mark's injury: "...We are not sure how serious his injury is yet. We will have to wait until we return to Dortmund to confirm the diagnosis. I hope it is not very serious..."
Klopp said this question with a haggard face. He must have known the specific injuries, but in front of the news media, he couldn't explain it too clearly.
But the reporters were not stupid either. When they saw his expression, they knew that Mark's injury might not be too light...
※※※
Sure enough, after returning to Dortmund, Dortmund Club officially announced that Mark Wagner had a thigh muscle strain in the game against Donetsk Miners and would be missing for at least one month of the game.
The absence of a month of games seems short compared to Mark's previous serious injury for a year, but considering that Mark has been in the rising period after returning from injury, the absence of this January can be seen as a basin of cold water poured on his head.
This injury is likely to interrupt his condition, and this injury has also made people worry about whether Mark Wagner, who has experienced previous serious injuries, will become prone to habitual injuries from now on?
Muscle strains are prone to become stubborn diseases, but what is more terrifying than muscle strains is that other injuries will also come to Mark, which eventually turns him into a "glass man" who is afraid of talking about by professional players.
Dortmund's local media are discussing Mark's injury. Compared with Mark's injury, it is not a problem for Dortmund to fail to defeat Donneske Miners away.
As a player from the South Stand, Mark is very popular among Dortmund fans. Dortmund fans all hope that Mark can succeed in Dortmund, and he embodies the expectations of countless Dortmund fans in the South Stand.
So when he was seriously injured for a year, many fans were heartbroken and crying.
He finally returned from injury and scored goals when he came back. He was in good shape next time. Although he was not a starter every game, he performed well and scored goals one after another.
Just as everyone was looking forward to him getting back on the road, injuries came to him again.
Such a thing really broke many Mark's fans' hearts.
Many people are worried that Mark will be depressed after being hit one after another.
Zhou Yi had the same idea, so before he came to Mark's house, he prepared a lot of words to enlighten Mark. Moreover, the name "Desler" must not be mentioned.
But when he knocked on Mark's door, what surprised him was that it was Mark himself who came to open the door for him!
"Huh?" He stood at the door in amazement, looking at Mark. "You...why are you here?"
"Don't I say this to you?"
"Uh, no, I mean...why are you here to open the door? Can you walk down the floor?"
"It's OK to use crutches." Mark took out his hand behind the door, holding a crutch on it.
Zhou Yi did not dare to let Mark Jiu stand, so he hurried into the house and sat down to speak.
※※※
"I was really surprised. It was you who opened the door for me..." After entering the house, Zhou Yi was still sighing.
Mark's mother, Mrs. Wagner, said, "I was going to open the door for you, but he insisted on doing it himself..."
Mark smiled and said, "I just don't want you to see a me lying on the bed with a dull look on my face - do you think you'll see that?"
Zhou Yi scratched his head, and it was hard to answer this, but he did have a picture like this in his heart: in the room with the curtains pulled, Mark was lying on the bed, without responding to his arrival, his head turned to one side, the dim light could not shine on his face, and the indoor air seemed to solidify, which was depressing and despair.
But after actually coming, Mark's house was clean and clean. Mark was sitting on the chair opposite him in his home clothes, with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the crutches at his hand, he wouldn't have seen that this was a person who had just been out of the situation for a month due to injury.
"I had prepared a lot of things to enlighten you, Mark. But now I think it may not be necessary..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.
"Yes, I missed a year of competition due to injury, and now I'm just resting for a month, and I don't think it's a big deal!" At this point, Mark laughed.
Zhou Yi paid attention to his expression, but he couldn't tell that Mark was trying to be happy, or it was really so relaxed.
So in the end, Zhou Yi didn't say anything that he prepared, nor did he continue to ask about Mark's injury. He had lunch at Mark's house and played football games with Mark in his room for a while in the afternoon.
Then he said goodbye to Mark's family at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Sitting in the car home, he was still carefully recalling Mark's performance on the day. He really couldn't find any trace of Mark's forced smile.
He hoped that Mark could face some setbacks in life open-mindedly, but when Mark was really so open-minded, he was a little difficult to understand. He couldn't figure out why Mark was so open-minded himself... Is this hairpin bend really so good?
Or maybe it’s a muscle strain and rest for a month, it’s really not a big deal. Don’t worry too much?
※※※
Back in the apartment, Zhou Yi didn't see Cortana coming back until she went to bed. She thought she should have gone back to her home after get off work.
This detail made Zhou Yi worry about Mark again. When Cortana went back to live, it was probably related to Mark's injury.
Thinking of this, Mark's injury doesn't seem to be easy...
However, what Zhou Yi can do now is very limited. Since Mark can figure it out himself, there is nothing to say.
