"How's the recovery training going?"

At the dinner table, wife Sophia asked her husband what she cared about most.

"The coaching staff said that the evaluation effect was OK. They also said that I was a blessing in disguise, so that the knee that had been operated on before also got enough rest. So when I resumed training, I practiced with my knee..."

Maxi Carey replied.

"That's great." Sophia was obviously relieved. "Just go on like this, I believe you can return to the court soon!"

"It's not that easy, Sophia." Carey shook his head. "I have only just started to resume training. According to estimates, it will take a month and a half to resume training. After a month and a half, I can start training with the ball. As for when to practice with the team and when to play... If you do it before the game is over, it will be good.”

"Ah? Doesn't that mean that you basically can't play this season?" The wife was a little surprised and a little disappointed.

"So I don't think about when to come back now, just train..."

Seeing her husband say this, Sophia didn't know what to say.

Just then, the son and daughter ran off the table and picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table: "We're going to watch TV!"

"Animation! Animation!"

When they turned on the TV, as the screen lit up, the first thing that appeared was the voice of the newscaster:

"...Hu scored in the final game of 2027 to help the Pirates of Madrid beat Turias 3-2 at home. This goal brings his tally to 75 this year. It is An astonishing number..."

Although the son soon switched the TV channel to the cartoon, the news reached the ears of everyone present.

Sophia looked at her husband secretly, as if she was afraid that he would be stimulated.

During the time when her husband was injured, Sophia had already noticed that her previous arrogant husband was now quite passive and depressed.

The blow of two serious injuries in a row is really big.

The most important thing is that when he suffered serious injuries one after another, his competitor Hu Lai was making great progress all the way.

With such a stark contrast, it is no wonder that my husband has a "knot" in his heart.

She knew exactly what her husband cared about, the feeling of being needed.

With his bad temper, being able to stay in the Madrid Pirates for so many years and get along well with everyone is entirely because the Madrid Pirates really need him.

He is very important to this team.

He enjoyed the feeling of being needed so much.

Therefore, he is willing to devote all his strength to not disappoint people.

But this injury, coupled with Hu Lai's sudden rise, made him realize that the Madrid Pirates might not need him anymore...

The blow to the husband probably outweighed the severe knee and ankle injuries.

When he feels that the team does not need him, what value does he have to continue to work hard and struggle?

Knowing this, Sophia was careful not to mention Hu Lai's name in front of her husband at home during this period of time, so as to avoid all things related to Hu Lai appearing in front of her husband.

And this thing has to be done very covertly, not too obvious.

Otherwise, it will anger her husband and make him think that everyone else thinks he is afraid of Hu Lai...

Just now, her son was slow, and when Hu Lai's name was heard by her husband, Sophia neither reprimanded her son nor reminded him. But indifferent, as if it were a very common piece of news, a trivial matter.

She didn't want to stimulate her husband's fragile self-esteem.

But to her surprise, her husband took the initiative to mention Hu Lai to her today:

"In terms of goals, the kid is really close to the pinnacle."

"Ah?" Sophia didn't react, why did her husband suddenly praise this person he never liked?

"But he's still playing on instinct."

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief—the husband was the same husband.

Carey didn't know his wife's inner drama. He hummed to himself: "It's always easy to play football with instinct, it's nothing special. If I hadn't been injured, he wouldn't want to be so showy in front of me."

At the end, he said again: "If he continues to play like this, then this year will be his peak."

Sophia asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Carey sneered: "Because he still relies on his teammates to create opportunities for him, and he can create too few opportunities by himself. It's no wonder that the good man Parroti wants me to partner with Hu... He knows that the crisis of the team is what."

"What kind of crisis could there be? Isn't the team leading the standings now?" Seeing that her husband was rarely interested in talking about Hu Lai today, Sophia decided to strike while the iron was hot and guide him to talk more, maybe it would ease the "heart knot" to some extent. Woolen cloth?

So she put on the appearance of an elementary school student with a strong thirst for knowledge, and stared at her husband with wide eyes, expecting him to say more.

Carey didn't see his wife's careful thinking. He seemed to be really talking about it today. He scoffed at his wife's statement: "Leading the standings? You mean we have one more game than Catalonia and are six points ahead of them. thing?"

"Yeah, even if we say we have one more game than them, even if they catch up, we're still three points ahead."

"What is a three-point lead against an opponent like the Catalan United? We played the Catalan United away in the last round. If we only lead by three points, then it is entirely possible for us to capsize in the final round." Carey shook his head as he said that. . "If the league title is lost in the last round, no matter how popular Parroti is, this manager may not be able to do it well, right?"

"You're talking about the worst-case scenario, Maxi... We can't always be three points ahead..."

"Haha." Carey laughed, seeming to be amused by his wife's words, "It's really impossible, we might be behind the Catalan United or the King of Madrid without waiting until the last round!"

Sophia didn't speak any more. She didn't need her to talk anymore, and her husband could talk on his own. He was really chatting today:

"If the team continues to rely on Hu's goals, such a crisis will be inevitable. Because our attacking method is too single, and relying on Hu's excellent form in the first half of the season, our ranking is really good. But we can't always expect Hu's form to be good. Right? What if his state fluctuates? At that time, we will find that there is not even a backup plan. Hu's scoring method is single, our attacking method is single, single plus single, double single. If our opponent is in After the first half of the season, if they don't know how to defend, then they can all die! Are our opponents that stupid?"

Originally, she just wanted to induce her husband to say more, but after listening to what he said, Sophia also frowned, feeling that the team was indeed facing a crisis.

So she asked sincerely: "How to solve this crisis?"

Carey pointed to himself: "If you want to solve the crisis, you have to wait for me to come back from injury."

"What?" Sophia was surprised again.

Carey ignored her attitude and continued: "My skill and creativity can bring the change Parrotti wants to the team's offense. But I have to get my position back, away from the goal, and I can no longer be the finisher of the team like I used to be, I have to give the fire to Hu..."

Having said that, he suddenly fell silent again.

Sophia hesitated and asked cautiously, "You don't want that?"

Carey nodded first, then shook his head: "Yes, I don't want to do that. But the truth tells me that if I don't do that, my career may be over..."

"No, dear. It's not that bad..."

"Won't it be so bad? I can no longer play my characteristics on the court, I have no contribution to the game, I can only be replaced in advance. Then I gradually couldn't even make the starting lineup and became a substitute. Then I even lost the bench. I can't squeeze in, I can only go to the stands, or sit at home and watch the game, slowly being forgotten... When my contract with the club expires, I will leave here, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief - this It's the future of my career."

Carey looked at his wife and said seriously.

Sophia stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

At this moment, the daughter's immature complaint sounded: "Thank God, Mom and Dad, you finally stopped talking, we can't even hear what was said on the TV!"

Sophia quickly put on a smile: "Sorry~lightnovelpub.net~ baby..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw her husband suddenly get up, left the living room, and walked to the bedroom upstairs.

After Sophia coaxed the child and followed her upstairs, she found her husband standing in the unlit bedroom, looking in the direction of the neighbor's house through the window.

Seeing this, Sophia had nothing to say: "I drove past their yard today and found that the yard was empty, with no lights and no Christmas tree... They, the Chinese don't seem to have Christmas yet?"

But the husband looked over there, obviously not thinking about this.

He suddenly said: "Hu should have received an invitation to the FIFA awards ceremony at the end of the year..."

Sophia was taken aback, she heard the meaning of her husband's words and understood the weight of these words.
