“How is the recovery training going?”

At the dining table, his wife Sophia asked her husband about her most concerned questions.

"The coaching team said the evaluation effect was OK. They also said that I was a blessing in disguise, and that the knees that had undergone surgery were given sufficient rest. So when I resumed training, I practiced with my knees..."

Maxi Carey replied.

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

"It's not that easy, Sophia." Carey shook his head. "I'm just starting to resume training now. According to expectations, it will take a month and a half to resume training alone. After a month and a half, I can only conduct ball training. As for when to practice with the team and when to play... If I can do it before the end of this game, it would be good."

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

"So I don't think about when I will come back now, I'm just training..."

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

At this moment, the son and daughter ran down the dining table and picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table: "We want to watch TV!"

"Anime! Cartoon!"

After they turned on the TV, as the screen lighted up, the first thing that appeared was the voice of the news announcer:

"… Hu scored a goal in his last game of 2027, helping the Madrid Pirates defeat Turias 3-2 at home. This goal has increased his goal count to seventy-five this year. It's an amazing number..."

Although his son quickly adjusted the TV channel to the cartoon, the news still reached the ears of everyone present.

Sophia secretly observed her husband, as if afraid that he would be stimulated.

During the time when her husband was injured, Sophia had already noticed that her arrogant husband was now quite negative and low.

The blow of two consecutive serious injuries was really big.

The most important thing is that when he was seriously injured one after another, his competitor Hu Lai made rapid progress.

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

She knew very well what her husband cared about and the feeling of being needed.

With his bad temper, he was able to stay with the Madrid Pirates for so many years and get along with everyone happily because the Madrid Pirates really need him very much.

He is very important to this team.

He enjoyed this feeling of being needed.

So he is willing to contribute all his strength just to avoid disappointing people.

But this injury, coupled with Hu Lai's sudden rise, made him realize that the Madrid pirates may no longer need him...

The blow to the husband may have surpassed serious knee and ankle injuries.

When he feels that the team doesn't need him, what value does he have in continuing to work hard and struggle?

Because of this, Sophia carefully ignored Hulai's name in front of her husband during this period, so as to prevent all things related to Hulai from appearing in front of her husband.

Moreover, this matter has to be done very concealedly and cannot be too obvious.

Otherwise, that would anger your husband, making him think that others think he was afraid of Hu Lai...

Just now, when the son was slowing down, and when Hu Lai's name was heard by her husband, Sophia neither scolded her son nor reminded him. Instead, she was indifferent, as if it was a very ordinary news and a trivial matter.

She no longer wants to stimulate her husband's fragile self-esteem.

But what surprised her was that her husband took the initiative to mention Hu Lai to her today:

"In terms of goals, that kid is indeed close to the pinnacle.":.

"Ah?" Sophia didn't react. Why did her husband suddenly praise this person he had never liked?

"But he is still playing football with instinct."

Valley/span>Sophia secretly breathed a sigh of relief that her husband was still the same husband.

Kairi didn't know his wife's inner scenes, so he hummed on his own: "It's always easy to play football with instinct, nothing great. If I hadn't been hurt, he wouldn't want to show off in front of me."

Finally, 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, there are too few opportunities he can create. No wonder that good old man Parotti wanted me to partner with Hu... He knows what the team's crisis is."

"What crisis can there be? Isn't the team leading the standings now?" Sophia saw that her husband was rarely interested in talking about Hu Lai today, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot and guide him to say more. Maybe it would relieve the "knot" of the heart?

So she looked like a primary school student with a strong desire for knowledge, stared at her husband with wide eyes, hoping that he could say more.

Carey didn't see his wife's little thoughts. He seemed to be talking about it today. He scoffed at his wife's statement: "Leading the standings? Are you referring to the fact that we play one more game than Catalan and lead them by six points?"

"Yes, although we play one more game than them, even if they catch up, we will still lead by three points."

"What is the lead of a three-pointer against an opponent like Catalita United? In the last round, we played Catalita United away. If we only led by three-pointer, then the last round would be completely likely to capsize." Carey said while shook his head. "If we lost the league championship in the last round, no matter how popular Parotti is, this head coach may not be able to do it, right?"

"You're talking about the worst case, Maxi... we can't always lead only three points..."

After Sophia coaxed the child, she followed her upstairs and found that her husband was standing in the bedroom without lights, looking through the window toward the neighbor's house.

Seeing this, Sophia had nothing to say and said, "I drove past their yard today and found that the yard was empty, with no colorful lights, and no Christmas trees... They, the Chinese, seem to be Christmas?"

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

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