While the league is still going on, George. Wood's name has been making headlines repeatedly. For a while, everyone didn't care much about who would win the championship and who would be relegated. George. Wood's injury is the most important thing, and during this period, all kinds of news have come out, and all kinds of rumors are rampant.

Some say George. Wood's injury could affect him for the rest of his life and even lead to his early retirement.

Others say it's not a big deal at all, and a month at most will be fine. The person who said this also gave his own example. Because he had suffered a similar injury before, he could swim in ten days and run in two weeks.

Some experts say that Wood's injury will take three to six months to recover, while others have expressed a different opinion, saying that eight to ten weeks will be fine.

Today the media said that Wood would not qualify for the European Championship and England was in doubt about winning the title. Tomorrow the same media will surprise George. Wood is expected to recover ahead of the Euros.

England fans are on a rollercoaster ride and you never know if you'll wake up the next day with good or bad news.

Nottingham Forest has been forgotten and has lost George. Wood's men have certainly lost the ability to qualify for next season's European Champions League. But no one cares about their future these days. It's Evan. Dogetty to David. Chrislak made a verbal promise that he would not be simply and rudely dismissed because of this season's results, after all, no one expected Wood's injury......

Chris Lak did not believe the club's president's verbal promises. Think about how Flores left in the first place? In front of people, he said that the club's top management trusted the manager, and turned around and kicked him as a scapegoat. Chris Rac is not a fool, nor is he young and ignorant, he knows how deep the water is in this business, and he is ready to get out of class.

The media is hyping up and the FA has to deal with the same problem every day – "George. What exactly is Wood's injury? How long will it take for him to return to the pitch? ”

If this continues, it is obviously not conducive to England's preparations. So the FA found George. Wood, I hope he will give an interview and express some optimism to calm people's hearts.

Wood agreed, speaking to BBC television and said he was not frustrated by the injury and that he was actively cooperating with treatment to return to the pitch within two months.

As soon as his interview came out, the previous speculations were much quieter. The FA were pleased with Wood's statement, although they did not believe Wood could actually return to the pitch within two months. But how did they know that Wood was telling the truth?

Although Don had promised Wood that he would sign him up to Spain as soon as he could get better within two months. However, it was obviously unwise to put all his eggs in one basket, and Don was still making other preparations. If George. Wood's recovery was not satisfactory and he was unable to make the trip, so how could he adjust his tactics in England?

It's not as simple as swapping the right position. There are a lot of people in England who can play in the middle of the midfield, but it is not easy to find someone who can play the role of Wood.

Gerrard's experience and abilities can do the same, but he's too old. At the age of 35, he is unlikely to be the heart of England, with injuries and fitness both going to be a factor in his troubles.

Gareth. Barry is also thirty-four years old.

If it really comes to that point, Don may have to abandon the tactic of using a certain player as the core, and switch to a simpler style of play, and the role of the midfielder is more to intercept the opponent's attack, rather than organizing the attack.

He's going to be more youngsters than relying on older guys like Gerard and Barry. He will place more emphasis on the whole than on one individual. The role of the core is irreplaceable, but he can let eleven people share it.

In fact, Don is in a conflicted mood now, on the one hand, he hopes that Wood can recover as soon as possible and catch up with the European Championship, so that he can hope to win the championship. On the other hand, he didn't want to ruin Wood's career because of a European Cup.

Don admits that he is not a saint and that he is somewhat selfish. He felt that this European Championship was his best chance, and who knows what will happen in a few years? The chance to win the title was just around the corner, but Wood's accidental injury had turned it so elusive that he couldn't say he didn't care.

How did this happen? How can the invincible Iron King Kong, who has never been injured, say that he will fall when he falls?

It's a domino, and when a card falls, it creates a terrible ripple effect. For the first time, Donn felt that he did not have the confidence to tell the public that his goal was to win the championship.

Don't let that lead to the assumption that Donn is incapable and don't let that make it a question that the rest of England's players are rubbish.

Today's George. Under his construction, Wood is to England what Zidane was to France. Don't look at France that won the World Cup and the European Cup, a group of big-name stars in the team have unlimited scenery. As soon as Zidane was injured, no matter Henry, Wiltord and Trezeguet, they could not bring a victory to the French team, and the Golden Boot scorers of the three major leagues even collectively dumbed, did not score a goal, and finally were eliminated in the group stage and went home.

When Zidane was thirty-four years old, when everyone thought that the French team could rely on Henry, it was Zidane who sent the French team to the final of the World Cup in Germany step by step, although in the end he was sent off for headbutting Materazzi, causing the French team to lose the Gold Cup. But without him, the French team would not even have a chance to fight for the Gold Cup.

George. Wood and Zinedine Zidane have completely different styles of play, but their roles and positions in the team are the same.

Zinedine Zidane is irreplaceable, George. Wood too.

Donn was in telephone contact with Professor Wallace, the doctor in charge of treating Wood, and they talked on the phone almost every three days, with Wallace updating Donn on the progress of the treatment. The situation is not very rosy, and Wallace is worried that Wood's injury will not be completely healed before the start of the European Championships.

Now Don can't do anything but wait. Although this waiting made him impetuous.

Like him, there are many other England fans who are waiting with this feeling. The media said that Wood's recovery from the injury was going well, and then that the injury was repeated, and the prospects for recovery were not optimistic. So that the fans don't know who to believe.

In such a chaotic atmosphere, the 2015-2016 Premier League season is over. Lost George. Wood's Nottingham Forest have also lost their backbone, with the team's final league games up and down to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, leaving them to play in the UEFA Cup next season.

This result is actually not bad for most teams, after all, there are still European games to play. But for Nottingham Forest, who are used to winning, it was a complete defeat.

Since it failed, then someone must be held accountable for it.

Just the day after the end of the league, Nottingham Forest officially announced and David. Krislak was released from his contract and the club thanked Krislak for his contribution during the one-and-a-half-season and wished him the best of luck.

The breakup seemed friendly, but there was a chill in the thank-you speech, which was the usual practice.

No one cares where Chris Lack goes, because everyone is for George. Wood's injury progressed and went crazy.

On May 12th, a full month before the opening of the European Championship, George. Wood has been injured for less than a month.

When Wood appeared in front of the media cameras in slippers and on crutches, England fans were still worried about him, worried that he would not be in time for the European Championships, which start on June 10. That's the news that he left the hospital and went home.

Professor Wallace offered to say that they would do their best to get Wood on a flight to Spain, but he could not guarantee anything.

'I can't guarantee he'll be on the pitch in a month's time, and I can't guarantee he'll be in time for this European Championship. I don't want you to put pressure on our work. ”

While the rest of Europe's leagues aren't over yet, the focus of the English is no longer on that.

No Premier League team has reached the Champions League final this season, so the Champions League final on May 20 is not in the limelight. Don is very happy about this, the Champions League final is on May 20, and the European Championship is on June 10, the interval between is too short, if his players still have to play the Champions League final, then neither in terms of fitness nor coordination can reach the best state, which is not what Donn wants to see. He's happy that the internationals of other countries are fighting to the death in the Champions League, and he's so good at profiting.

But when I think of George. Wood's injury, he didn't have such a mind......

At this time, Don was sitting in George. Wood's home, face to face with Wood.

Sophia was busy in the kitchen preparing afternoon tea for the two. The rich aroma of tea and cookies wafted from the kitchen, making Don unhelp but loosen his nose. Shania wouldn't make him afternoon tea, because she didn't have the habit of drinking afternoon tea......

"You seem to be in good spirits?" Don said as he looked at Wood across from him.

"I've always been like this."

Don smiled. Wood seemed to be in a relaxed mood, and he was under a lot of pressure. Recently, he didn't dare to turn on his phone, and there would inevitably be countless calls to him to inquire about the latest news. Because he really didn't know how he was supposed to answer the media about George. Wood's question.

He's been talking to Professor Wallace on the phone, and in general there's less good news and more bad news. Professor Wallace has mentioned more than once that it is becoming more and more difficult for Wood to recover by June 9.

"Hey, George......" Donn asked, thinking about it, "you didn't think about what to ...... I mean, what if, what if you really can't get to the Euros? ”

Wood's answer was unexpectedly fast: "I didn't think about it." ”

Don rubbed his temples, and Wood was so relaxed. Anyway, I recognized the road in front of me and walked until I reached the black ......

"Uh, George. What do you know about your own injury recovery? Donn was worried that Wood was naïve enough to think that because he was physically strong, his injury would recover relatively quickly.

"It's not too good." I didn't expect Wood to understand it so clearly. "Wallace told me that even if I could recover by June 10th, it would hurt a lot to run and play football."

"Now that you know......"

"It just hurts." It looks like if it just hurts, Wood will insist on playing.

Donn was speechless.

Wood, sensing Don's intentions in coming to him, asked, "You're not going to come and tell me you're not going to keep your promise, are you?" ”

"Uh......" Donn felt a little embarrassed, he really thought so.

But when he saw Wood's face, he couldn't speak.

Sophia came out with tea and biscuits and relieved Donn. They no longer discuss injuries and football, but sit together and chat casually, talking about the trivial things of life.

Every time Don came, Sophia was very happy, her face flushed with excitement, and she talked more than usual.

Now Don can calmly face Sophia's enthusiasm.

After drinking afternoon tea together, Don decided to take his leave. As he was leaving, he stopped Wood and planned to talk to him alone.

Wood came to the door with Don on crutches.

Don lowered his head and thought about it for a moment before he looked up and said to Wood, "George, no one can say what the future holds. I hope that no matter what decision I make in the end, you will be able to understand me......"

Wood nodded: "I'll go to Spain." ”

Don felt a headache. "I hope so, but not everything works out that way. I want you to have a longer career, you're only thirty years old, and for others it's starting to go downhill at thirty. But it's different for you, I'm sure you're still on your way to the top. ”

Donn reached out and touched Wood's head, and it was as if he had made a decision in his heart.

Wood didn't answer him, and Don said goodbye to Sophia, who was standing behind him, and then pulled the door open and walked out.

After Donn drove away, Sophia gently hugged her son from behind and rested her chin on Wood's broad and strong shoulders: "George, are you really going to Spain?" ”

"Yes, Mom."

"But your feet ......"

"It's okay, Mom. It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay. Wood gently patted Sophia's hand around his waist and comforted her.

Don was still blocked by a lot of media at his doorstep. They all asked Donn to talk about George. Wood's question, if it is confirmed that Wood's injury will not be available for the European Championships, what will Done do? Now everyone knows George. Wood is the heart of England.

Donn refused to answer the questions, and he drove the car into his yard in embarrassment.

Shania came out to pick him up, and when she saw this formation, she couldn't help but whistle.

"You're going to George?"

Don nodded, "The training roster will be announced the day after tomorrow, and I need to confirm it." ”

"And what is the result of the confirmation?"

"No results."

"Huh?" Shania looked up at her husband. He frowned and looked distressed.

"I thought I had made a decision before I went, but when I went, I realized that I hadn't made any decision at all. To make a fruitless trip. ”

Shania took Donn's arm and walked back to the house with him, and the door closed, shutting out all the media's prying eyes.

"Then you can write George's first name, isn't it just right that he is healed? If the injury is not healed, change ......"

Don pinched Shania's ears, "How can you be so casual?" If the list is confirmed, there is no way to change it. ”

Shania rolled her eyes, she didn't know much about football, and it was a little embarrassing to say the wrong thing, but it didn't matter, she had a remedy.

Don wanted to continue to laugh at his little wife, but was gagged by a moist red lip from the other party.

"Hmm......"
