Tao Weihong also imagined that his son would represent the Chinese team in the World Cup. But soon reality ruthlessly broke his dream.
After Tao Wentao turned 10 years old, injuries gradually caught up with him. As the most skilled player on the team, although he suffered the most violations, injuries were too frequent for Tao Wentao.
Sometimes, even during ordinary training within the team, he would get injured, and Tao Wentao's ankles became his Achilles' heel.
After repeated endless injuries, Tao Wentao's coach also gave up on him. The coach's final words to Tao Weihong were: "What a pity for this kid. But without a body, you can't play football."
Tao Weihong later spent money to take Tao Wentao to various teams for trial training. At first, many teams were very optimistic about this player, but soon his injury problems were exposed. After being rejected by the team many times,
, Tao Weihong decided to let Tao Wentao give up football.
This trial training was the last chance that the stubborn Tao Wentao asked his father to give him.
Zhang Sheng's words made Tao Weihong's face darken, and Tao Wentao's eyes also turned red.
The corner of Tao Weihong's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he sighed and said, "Sorry for bothering you." Then he and Tao Wentao stood up to leave.
Zhang Sheng stood up quickly and said: "Potter, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Jiang Peng also quickly got up and stopped the father and son, saying: "Potter, don't worry, since our coach Zhang invited you over for a trial training, it's not just to meet you once, he has his own plan."
Zhang Sheng also said: "Sit down first and wait until I finish speaking."
When Tao Weihong and his son were at the bottom again, Zhang Sheng said: "Our scouting department has mentioned this matter to me about Tao Wentao's injury. But from our professional point of view, this matter is still
There is a turning point.”
When they heard that there was a turning point, Tao Weihong and Tao Wentao's eyes lit up. Tao Weihong quickly asked: "What should we do?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Our team has a cooperative relationship with Tongji Hospital. Professor Xu's laboratory at Tongji Hospital has cured a similar player. This player is now playing in our team."
Hearing Zhang Sheng provided such news, Tao Wentao stood up immediately and shouted in surprise: "Is it true?"
Zhang Sheng said quickly: "Don't get excited. It's true. If you follow our Longteng team, you should know that our main right midfielder Huang Zongwei is often injured like you before. He also has an ankle. The defender is in Professor Xu's laboratory.
After the examination, we came to the conclusion that this is a rare disease. You should not engage in strenuous exercise, including in daily life. Therefore, I recommend that you go to Professor Xu’s laboratory for an examination."
Hearing what Zhang Sheng said, Tao Weihong said a little embarrassedly: "Director Zhang, thank you for providing the information, but generally the cost of such a disease is not small? Unfortunately, I have taken Wen Tao everywhere for trial training in recent years, and I have spent a lot of money.
, in the end it was a waste of time." After saying this, Tao Weihong gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Director Zhang, I have decided that this time we will help Wen Tao take care of this disease. Thank you very much for the information. We
Can you please meet Huang Zongwei?"
Zhang Sheng comforted: "It's absolutely okay. Besides, you don't have to worry about the inspection. We have a contract with Professor Xu's laboratory, and the injuries of the Longteng players are paid for by the club. If you are here
If you sign a good player contract with us, we can provide free examination and treatment."
Hearing what Zhang Sheng said, Tao Weihong couldn't believe his ears. He was a little shocked and said: "Is it true?"
Zhang Sheng nodded seriously: "Indeed, we have nothing to lie to you. I'm just very reluctant to let a player with such talent be buried."
Tao Weihong stood up from the sand, bowed deeply to Zhang Sheng, and said, "I don't know how to thank you. As long as the injury is healed, Wen Tao will do his best for the club."
Zhang Sheng said quickly: "I'm serious, I'm serious. I'll call Huang Zongwei over now."
Soon Zhang Sheng called Lao Xing, who was leading the team training, and asked Huang Zongwei to come to his office.
After Huang Zongwei came over and understood the situation, he quickly introduced his experience. Finally, he said: "I feel the same about this injury. But you must believe in Coach Zhang and Professor Xu, they will not break their promises."
Soon Zhang Sheng contacted Professor Xu. Professor Xu was very excited after hearing this: "This disease is very rare. I didn't expect to encounter another case. After I successfully treated Huang Zongwei before, I have been looking for the same patient."
Let’s recreate the treatment method using a case, but we haven’t been able to find such a patient, so that’s good. Let’s do this, I’m going to attend a seminar outside today, and I’ll go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow and let the patient come over tomorrow.”
Zhang Sheng said quickly: "Professor Xu, it's too hard for you. You will be tired when you come back tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. There is no rush in these two days."
Professor Xu directly answered the question on the phone: "It's okay. It's not urgent if there are cases. When will it be urgent? We agreed that we will come on time at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Zhang Sheng had no choice but to agree to Professor Xu's request.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Sheng informed Tao Weihong and his son of the good news. Tao Weihong and his son were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
Next, Zhang Sheng and Tao Weihong, father and son, signed a player contract. In the contract, Tao Weihong insisted that if the injury was not treated well, the contract would be revoked to prevent the club from wasting money.
Seeing his persistence, Zhang Sheng wrote this clause into the contract. However, since Tao Wentao is a player summoned by the system, there is nothing that cannot be cured, it is just a matter of the length of time.
Next, Zhang Sheng told Tao Weihong and Tao Wentao about the time agreed upon with Professor Xu, and asked the club staff to accompany the father and son there.
The next day, when Tao Weihong and his son went to Tongji Hospital for examination, the club and Wei Zhimin also signed a player contract.
At Zhang Sheng's request, the coaching staff began to adjust Wei Zhimin's defensive issues, especially his defensive mentality. This will also be a long process.
During the following period, Zhang Sheng continued to train Wu Qin Minghao and Li Yun's tactics, and brought Yu Bo, Zhou Zhou, Ma Yongli and Zou Weijia, who had been on the substitute team, into the main team for training. Although these players followed the first team
They have been training for a lot of time, but when competing within the team, they are always assigned to the substitute team. This time they are assigned to the main team, mainly to strengthen the coordination between them and the main players.
Of these four players, Yu Bo and Zhou Zhou are still in the period of uncertainty about their potential. Yu Bo switched from goalkeeper to left midfielder, and Zhou Zhou switched from midfielder to full-back. Ma Yongli and Zou Weijia are very orthodox central defenders and midfielders.
Forward. However, Tai Bo's ability index has exceeded 5o, and Zhou Zhou has also reached 53. The two of them can greatly improve the ability of substitutes in these two positions.
The day before the home game against Shaanxi Laochenggen, Zhang Sheng received Professor Xu’s diagnostic report.
The report confirmed the cause of Tao Wentao's illness. His illness was more serious than Huang Zongwei's before. Long-term repeated injuries during the growth stage of the body not only had a certain impact on Tao Wentao's physical fitness, but also deepened his own symptoms.
Few. According to Professor Xu’s treatment plan, if the treatment is carried out in China, it may only guarantee Tao Wentao’s normal life in the future. If he wants to further eradicate and reach the level of professional athletes, more advanced instruments and more
Scientific treatment plan.
In the report, Professor Xu clearly mentioned hospitals or universities that have the ability to handle such diseases. The hospital he chose was the Affiliated Hospital of The Ohio State University, followed by the Affiliated Hospital of the University of South Florida. And Tongji Hospital and the Ohio State University
Universities have cooperative relationships. Professor Xu’s last rare disease research was with them.
After Zhang Sheng got the report, he thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the hospital affiliated with Ohio State University because Professor Xu was there, so he could be more secure.
After confirming the plan, Zhang Sheng contacted Professor Xu. Professor Xu also agreed with Zhang Sheng's idea and mentioned that this rare disease is funded by a specialized rare disease research institution, but it may require certain medical treatment after surgery.
Cost. Zhang Sheng doesn’t care about money, as long as the disease can be cured.
Soon Zhang Sheng contacted Tao Weihong and his son. Tao Weihong was a little worried when he heard the information about going to the United States. After hearing Zhang Sheng's explanation, Tao Weihong felt relieved and started to go through the procedures for Tao Wentao to go abroad.
While Tao Wentao was waiting for the visa result with anxiety, Zhang Sheng led the Longteng team to meet the challenge of visiting Shaanxi Laochenggen at home.
As the knockout round of the second division league, the fans were still very generous. The Wuchang District Stadium, which can accommodate 12,000 fans, welcomed nearly 8,000 fans. At the same time, Jiangcheng TV station also broadcast the game.
Amid the cheers and cheers of the fans, the Longteng team easily defeated their opponent 3:o.
The TV commentator also happily explained the game. The summary at the end of the game was a true portrayal of the game: "The Longteng team won very easily this time. In fact, the score of 4:0 in the away game had already been conceded.
There was no suspense in this game. After hiding the two core players Qin Minghao and Li Yun, the team easily won a 3:0 victory under the leadership of Xu Mingyu. We also wish the Longteng team better and better games.
good."
After the game, Zhang Sheng gave the team a day off, and then continued to let the team strengthen tactical training with Xu Mingyu as the core.
On October 16, Tao Wentao, accompanied by club staff, boarded a plane to the United States.
