Chapter 40 Ibrahimovic recovers from injury and is about to return

Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans gave another round of warm applause before leaving the stadium with a sense of reluctance, looking forward to the next game.

For football fans, watching a football game has become an indispensable entertainment activity in their boring lives.

certainly.

If you are beaten by your opponent every time, no matter how much passion you have, it will be exhausted.

At the side of the court at this time.

Koeman's expression was a little dull, all his pre-match ambitions disappeared, and he even felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

He will not lose to all the Premier League Big 6, right? This summer, he spent 150 million pounds on signings and firmly established Sigurdsson's tactical position in Everton.

If the league results are a mess, I'm afraid we won't even have to wait until Christmas and will have to pack up and leave.

After shaking hands with Mourinho, Koeman looked numbly at the back that he once envied so much, and fell into deep self-doubt.

At this time, on the bench, Rooney handed his jersey to Chu Feng and gave him some encouragement as a senior.

to be honest.

He was actually a little envious of Chu Feng, not because of his excellent skills.

Because he once had those things, but he envied the youth and vitality that would never be regained once they were gone.

Chu Feng took the jersey humbly.

The two men walked towards the player tunnel while talking until their backs gradually disappeared.

Half an hour later, the post-match press conference took place.

Faced with the sharp questions from reporters, Everton head coach Koeman's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he only began to answer after calming down his anger.

"In the first half, the opponent started pressing from the back. We changed our formation to achieve the desired effect and had chances to score, but unfortunately we failed to seize them."

"And a small defensive mistake cost us the ball."

"I don't want to blame the players because everyone makes mistakes."

"In fact, judging from the situation on the field, we didn't play very badly, and this score doesn't mean anything."

“I hope everyone can be patient enough.”

The reporters in the audience almost laughed when they heard this, thinking that Koeman is indeed eloquent and that if he were given a few more minutes, he would probably be able to reverse the score.

And another press conference room.

Mourinho faces a more relaxed environment because the English media never fights against the wind and always waits until Manchester United loses before questioning.

"On the surface it looked like we won easily, but in reality it wasn't. The process of the game was much more difficult than the score."

"We still have players injured at the moment, so this performance is far from enough in my opinion."

"Moreover, the relatively loose environment of the league and the wide gap in the players' individual abilities make it easy to create false impressions."

The Guardian reporter raised his hand and asked: "Mr Mourinho, it is expected that Ibrahimovic will not return until 2018, so he has been excluded from your plans?"

"No, no, no, I can tell you responsibly that Zlatan recovered quickly from his injury and he even participated in team training before."

“And we’ve re-signed the contract for an extension.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will appear in the starting lineup in October, using facts to counter those who think that injuries have greatly reduced his strength."

Mourinho finished speaking and prepared to leave.

Another reporter quickly asked: "Why would Manchester United choose to renew the contract with an injured player?"

A smile appeared on Mourinho's face and his voice was full of anticipation.

"Because we believe he is still a strong man."

At this time, the Manchester United players had returned to the Carrington training base and were discussing an important matter.

Welcome back Ibrahimovic.

In the Europa League match between Manchester United and Anderlecht in April this year, Ibrahimovic sprained his right knee when he jumped up to compete for the header and landed, almost deforming it inward.

After the game, it was diagnosed that he had a severe torn cruciate ligament in his knee. Not only did he bid farewell to the 2016/17 season early, but he was also paralyzed in bed for a long time.

So most people thought he would choose to retire.

But after scientific rest and physical therapy, his recovery speed miraculously became faster and faster, which seemed to have defied the normal laws.

He even participated in Manchester United's internal assessment some time ago and practiced Taekwondo with Chu Feng.

Now he is very close to recovery and is just waiting for the last treatment to be completed today.

The Manchester United players took out the gifts they had prepared long ago, packed up, and then drove to Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Martial took a deep look at his teammates who had already left, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart. A sour feeling surged to his nose and stayed there for a long time before he turned around and left silently.

Not long after.

Everyone arrived outside the ward and eavesdropped on Ibrahimovic's interview with the media.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Am I worried about returning? No, lions don't recover like humans."

“And I will come back better and stronger, that’s my goal.”

"Because when I set my mind to something, nothing can shake me."

Ibrahimovic ignored the noise outside the ward, held out a finger in front of him, and continued domineeringly: "For example, I said I would dominate Sweden, I have done it at breakfast, I will dominate Europe at lunch, and the world at dinner."

"It has to happen. There is no other way."

"As for the game? I'm playing with my brain, and my knees just have to follow."

Chu Feng, who was outside the door, smacked his lips after hearing this, thinking that Da Fengxian's personality really hadn't changed at all, and he couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

But perhaps it was precisely because of this determination that he was able to return to Milan from the MLS in the future and win the league championship.

After the reporters left, people rushed in and the ward became chaotic.

Ibrahimovic hugged every player to express his gratitude.

When it was Lukaku's turn, he seemed a little embarrassed, and a faint blush could be seen on his dark face.

"Actually, when I joined the team last year, I wanted to wear the No. 10 jersey."

"But it originally belonged to Rooney, a legend and a man who deserves respect. But now he has moved on, so you don't have to think otherwise."

Ibrahimovic patted the other's shoulder vigorously and said nonchalantly.

Then he walked to Chu Feng and gave him a warm hug, "I've watched all the recent games. You did a great job. My efforts were not in vain."

"Zlatan, you have to hurry up and recover. I have already scored two goals."

Chu Feng made a joke.

"Tsk, just wait, I can surpass you in one game."

Ibrahimovic curled his lips and pretended to be disdainful.

In fact, he was secretly shocked by Chu Feng's growth rate. He thought it would take at least half a season for him to enter the starting lineup, but who would have thought that it had only been more than a month.

However, this also aroused his strong desire to win. He absolutely could not lose to the younger generation, otherwise his pretense would not be convincing.

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone left together.

When the hospital staff saw this, they couldn't help but sigh.

"The atmosphere in Manchester United looks good."
