"Ha..." Li Ang's eyes widened with disbelief. It was already midnight, and there was a knock on his door. After opening the door, Li Ang was shocked.
The boy standing in front of him was smiling, as if he was very happy that he had scared Li Ang.
Carlos?!
How could this kid appear in front of me?!
Isn’t this guy supposed to be accompanying his wife Lily and their newborn daughter in the hospital in Milan right now?!
That's right, Carlos's child has been born. Just after the entire Inter Milan team arrived in Barcelona and the night they stayed at the hotel, he received a call from Alice. Lily Bianco gave birth to a baby girl for Carlos.
This boy has officially become a father.
Carlos, who should be taking care of Lily Bianco and their newborn daughter in the hospital at this time, now appeared in front of Li Ang.
"Uh... when did you come back?" Li Ang was surprised.
"Just arrived at the hotel." Carlos said with a smile.
"Nonsense, you should stay in Milan to spend time with your family now," Li Ang said.
"But I think the team needs me now." Carlos said.
"Do you think you can't win without the team?" Li Ang said with a frown.
"Of course I don't mean that, but I feel that I am still very important to the team." Carlos said unceremoniously.
"Go, go! Go back to the room and rest." Leon waved his hand. He saw assistant coach Banderas hurried over with the room card in his hand. He should have gone to open a room for Carlos.
***********
"It seems that Juan is really eager to participate in this game." After Carlos left, Banderas said, "He is very dedicated."
"This kid." Li Ang rubbed his temples, "I have a headache now."
"Isn't it a good thing that Carlos returned to the team in time?" Banderas was very puzzled. With Carlos, Inter Milan's midfield defense will be upgraded to a higher level. This is very important for facing a team with strong offensive ability like Barcelona.
It is very helpful to the team.
"Do you think this kid is suitable to play in the game in his current condition?" Li Ang shook his head and said.
Banderas was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. Carlos had been staying in the hospital to accompany the childbirth, waiting anxiously outside the delivery room without rest. He was probably very tired both mentally and physically. It depends on the situation.
As soon as the child was born, Carlos rushed to Barcelona non-stop. It can be imagined that Carlos's physical condition is now very bad.
In this case, it can indeed be said that it poses a problem for Li Ang. Should he start with Carlos or not?!
"This is your job, only you make the decision." Banderas was greeted with a smile.
Li Ang shrugged and said nothing.
He really needs to think about it carefully.
***********
Carlos slept until almost noon.
When this kid suddenly appeared in the restaurant for lunch, the other players were shocked. They didn't know that Carlos had arrived overnight.
After being surprised, everyone happily sent congratulations to Carlos, congratulating him on his daughter. Last night everyone knew about the birth of Carlos' daughter.
Li Ang glanced at Carlos's dissatisfied red bloodshot eyes and shook his head subconsciously. With Carlos' current physical condition, it seemed that he was not suitable to start in such a fierce game.
However, after lunch, Carlos took the initiative to find Li Ang and expressed his request to be placed in the starting lineup.
"This is impossible." Li Ang refused directly, "Your current physical condition does not meet the requirements of the game. Let alone starting, I am hesitant to even put you in the substitute lineup."
Upon hearing this, Carlos became anxious. He didn't even stay with his newborn daughter for a while, and rushed to Barcelona. Wasn't it just to catch up with the game?!
Now, Li Ang actually said that he would be considered as a starter, not even as a substitute. How could he not be anxious?
"I think I'm in good condition in all aspects now," Carlos said, "There's no problem at all." As he said that, he made a bodybuilding fist-clenching motion.
"Look at the red bloodshot eyes, you look tired." Li Ang said bluntly.
"I'll just rest for two more hours and get some sleep," Carlos argued.
"Do you think you are a robot that can be resurrected with full health after two hours of charging?" Li Ang said flatly. In order to participate in this competition, this kid opened his eyes and told a joke.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Lucatelli to check me out this afternoon." Carlos argued, "If he thinks there is nothing wrong with my body, you can let me start."
Li Ang glanced at the kid and knew that if he didn't agree, the kid wouldn't give up. He didn't believe that he only needed two more hours of rest to be alive and well and resurrected with full health, so he nodded and agreed.
Carlos didn't care about Li Ang's perfunctory attitude. Anyway, as long as Li Ang agreed, then the kid ran back to the room as if his butt was on fire. He wanted to seize every moment to rest.
***********
"What do you want Juan to do?" Banderas glanced at Carlos who ran back to the hotel room in a panic and closed the door.
"He wants to start." Li Ang shrugged.
"You agreed?" Banderas asked.
"How is that possible?" Li Ang shook his head, "However, this kid said that he would be resurrected with full health after resting for two hours."
Banderas was stunned.
"He asked Lucatelli to check him out at that time," Li Ang added.
Banderas shook his head. Obviously he didn't think Carlos could recover so quickly. The boy had been awake for almost a long time. Coupled with the psychological pressure and worry, it was not only physical but also physiological.
tiredness.
"Really let Lucatelli examine him?" Banderas asked.
"Of course, otherwise this kid wouldn't give up." Li Ang said.
***********
"So, Carlos can play?" Li Ang asked the team's doctor Lucatelli with a surprised expression.
"Yes." Lucatelli pushed up his glasses, "Judging from the examination results, although Carlos is still far from his best condition, I think he is still capable of playing the game."
Li Ang glanced at Carlos, who looked proud.
"Okay, get ready for the game." Li Ang nodded. Since the team doctor said Carlos can play, he had nothing to say.
Afterwards, Li Ang returned to the room. He needed to think again about some details of the game. As for Carlos, anyway, Carlos returned and was able to play, which is a good thing for Inter Milan.
Carlos also went back to the room excitedly. As long as he could play, he would be happy.
"How far is his current physical condition compared with his best condition?" Banderas stayed and asked team doctor Lucatelli, who was very interested in this.
"Let's put it this way." Lucatelli made a metaphor, "Carlos at his peak was G-CUP, and Carlos now is D!"
Banderas' mouth opened wide. He had never expected that the team doctor would make such a comparison. Who would have thought that Lucatelli would be an experienced driver who would drive whenever he disagreed.
"Ahem!" Lucatelli smiled awkwardly when he saw this, "It's just a metaphor."
In the evening, when the entire Inter Milan team gathered in the hotel lobby and prepared to set off for the Camp Nou stadium, Banderas subconsciously glanced at Carlos's chest, tsk, he's so muscular, he's really quite impressive...
