The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 71 Isinbayeva's Lunch

"Wood, long time no see. You look tired. Did you come back from China and haven't rested yet?"

Isinbayeva noticed that Lin Mu's eyes were a little dark and puffy and asked with concern.

"I like to get everything done before I rest."

Lin Mu didn't pretend; he rubbed his face and asked, "Have you ordered?"

I don't know if it's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He always felt like he had something left to do and couldn't sleep.

Isinbayeva nodded. "I ordered a few of their signature dishes. Now see what else you'd like to eat."

Lin Mu took the menu.

"Potato salad, and a soup too, something light."

Lin Mu rubbed his stomach.

I'm used to eating Chinese food in Yanjing.

Switching back to Italian food all of a sudden is a bit hard to get used to.

But thinking about it, it must have been pretty great back home.

Zhang Xin treated him to excellent hospitality, serving him a variety of dishes, including roast duck, hot pot lamb, and braised sea cucumber with scallions.

Especially in the dead of winter, eating hot pot with mutton.

Paired with sesame paste and Sichuan peppercorn oil, one bite is incredibly comforting.

"It seems your trip back to China has given you a lot to think about?"

Isinbayeva sensed the complex emotions in the trees.

"Yes, I've seen a lot of people and things, but speaking of which, what do you think of the 'materialism' theory put forward by those people?"

Lin Mu didn't want to talk too much about his own affairs, so he changed the subject.

"Oh!"

Isinbayeva scoffed. "Only jealous people say things like that. Do you know the American long jumper Bob Beamon?"

Lin Mu nodded.

As a sports medicine doctor, he had some knowledge of various famous athletes in the sports world.

"Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 meters at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, a record that wasn't broken until 23 years later by Mike Powell in Tokyo, who jumped 8.95 meters."

"For Bob Beamon."

"Did he ever come close to achieving that result, which at the time seemed like it was obtained with God's help?"

Isinbayeva took a sip of soda water.

His proud eyebrows arched slightly, his eyes blazing with fury. "I don't want to become like him, leaving behind a magnificent leap that was, well... how to describe it?"

"A fleeting moment of glory," a Chinese idiom.

Lin Mubang racked her brains and found a descriptive word: "It is often used to describe something beautiful or a prominent person who appears and then quickly disappears."

"right!"

Yelena Isinbayeva snapped her fingers, "I will always be the most outstanding flower!"

"So what's your current limit?"

Lin Mu realized it was inappropriate as soon as he asked the question; it seemed he was truly exhausted. "Sorry, never mind."

"What's wrong with that?"

Yelena Isinbayeva gave a confident smile. "They predict I can jump a maximum of 5.15 meters, but I think I can jump 50 centimeters more, or even more."

As she said this, she turned her head and looked at the clear blue sky outside the restaurant.

"No one can predict my limits, and I don't want to set limits for myself. I just want to jump higher... higher."

Yelena Isinbayeva seemed to be glowing at that moment.

Lin Mu was a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses. Top athletes are very confident, even a little blindly so.

The two chatted about other topics for a while.

Lin Mu discovered that Isinbayeva seemed quite wild.

I like to drive fast.

Previously, I drove a test model sports car and reached a speed of 220 kilometers per hour.

What does that equate to?

Many family cars have a speedometer limit of 220 km/h, and most of them may not even be able to reach that limit.

If a collision occurs at this speed...

Yelena Isinbayeva also enjoys extreme sports such as skydiving.

But it's just a liking.

As an athlete.

She often finds herself unable to do what she wants, unable to act as she pleases.

of course.

This is also related to the fact that Isinbayeva regarded high jump as the most important thing in her life.

"Wood, what do you like?"

Isinbayeva asked curiously.

She always felt that Lin Mu was shrouded in mystery.

I can't see through it.

Therefore, I always want to know more, like a cat scratching at my heart.

"Me?"

Lin Mu took a bite of the refreshing salad. "I like curing patients and seeing how they are. I also like cars and watches. I like quite a few things."

"No wonder you're a doctor."

Isinbayeva was amused by Lin Mu's straightforwardness.

The meal was quite enjoyable.

After the two separated.

Lin Mu will continue his medical career.

Isinbayeva, on the other hand, has her sights set on the Birmingham Indoor Athletics Grand Prix in February of the new year.

......

Lin Mu slept for a full fourteen hours after returning home.

He arrived at San Rafael Hospital the next day.

After undergoing examinations, Asamoah, the black player from the German national team, was officially discharged from the hospital.

Based on the estimate of the forest.

Asamoah will definitely be fit for the World Cup, and may even return to the club in April.

Lin Mu, however, had some doubts.

Will Asamoah be selected for the German national team this year?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu tapped his cheek with his index finger.

Following the original trajectory, Italy was the eventual champion of this year's World Cup, held in Germany every four years.

I have now treated the injuries of many football players.

Looking solely at the national teams the players belong to.

Because he was in a hospital in Italy.

He also works part-time as Inter Milan's team doctor.

Therefore, the largest number of patients are players from the Italian national team.

Secondly, Argentina, Spain, and others.

Could it be that Italy will ultimately win?

Lin Mu became curious.

Once the World Cup starts, he wants to ask Moratti for a few tickets so he can see for himself the history he has changed.

Will Zidane headbutt Materazzi again?

Lin Mu found it increasingly interesting.

He then went to the vascular surgery ward and found Materazzi, who was there for a follow-up appointment. "How are you feeling?"

Materazzi immediately gave Lin Mu a warm hug upon seeing him.

Those days at the Turin hospital.

He learned from the doctor that if Lin Mu hadn't treated him in time, he might have died on the field.

Although he had actually thought that way when he was a child.

He gave his life for the football he loved.

But those are just fantasies of immature teenagers.

Now he is a husband, a father, and a player for Inter Milan and the Italian national team.

There are too many responsibilities to bear.

"Dr. Luca said I would recover in eight weeks, but considering my age, the recovery period was extended by a month. Now I feel fine."

Materazzi slapped his thigh as he spoke.

The movements were very gentle.

The femoral artery ruptured.

He still remembers how scared he was back then.

"Then we should be able to play in February, which will be just in time for the Champions League knockout stage."

Lin Mu laughed.

The Champions League knockout stage draw took place in mid-December.

Inter Milan were quite lucky.

They were drawn against Dutch giants Ajax, avoiding stronger second-placed teams like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Chelsea.

Lin Mu also got a general understanding of the situation.

Ajax is also very strong this season. In the past, in the 1971-72 season, they won their second European Cup title with a brace from Cruyff against Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
