The excitement of the World Cup gradually came to an end as France won the Hercules Cup...
Football is indeed the world's largest sport. Even though the World Cup in Russia has ended, everyone is still discussing the "most valuable golden boots in history", "the world's best midfielder", and Mbappe who is under 20 years old...
Sometimes Li Yuang also thinks that if short track speed skating can have the influence of football, I believe his fame should surpass Mbappe...
Football is always just a tonic for Li Yuang, short track speed skating is his life, so he continues to work hard this summer.
…
The members of the Chinese short track speed skating team, which ended their summer training in the United States on August 15, returned to BJ's training base.
After returning to the dormitory and packing his things, Li Yuang went to the team doctor to inquire about Xu Hongzhi's injury.
During the summer training in the United States, Li Yuang learned from the WeChat group that Xu Hongzhi had returned to the base and was recuperating in Room 208 of the rehabilitation center.
In fact, before the offseason, when he just came back from Montreal, Li Yuang wanted to visit Xu Hongzhi, but the team doctor told him that Xu Hongzhi had surgery in Germany and would not be back for half a month.
After participating in "Dream Life", Li Yuang also asked the team doctor about Xu Hongzhi's condition. The answer he received was that Xu Hongzhi's condition was a bit relapsing and he might have to stay in Germany for a while before returning.
Before going to the United States, he specifically asked Xu Hongzhi when he would come back, but there was still no exact time.
I learned from the team doctor that Xu Hongzhi's injury is not optimistic and it will take at least a year for his body to return to the state before the injury.
After Li Yuang bought some supplements, he came to the rehabilitation center alone. He hesitated a little while standing at the door of Xu Hongzhi's ward.
At this moment, Li Yuang hesitated. He didn't know how to face Xu Hongzhi, let alone what to say and write.
"Come in with the door unlocked."
In the room, Xu Hongzhi saw a figure moving at the door and said casually without paying attention. He just returned from Germany last week. In the past two days, his former teammates and coaches have been visiting him one after another, and he is used to it.
Li Yuang pushed the door open and entered. Xu Hongzhi was the only one in the ward. He lay on the bed and looked sideways at Li Yuang.
"Carp... came back from the United States?"
"Um……"
"Hey! Seeing that your body is obviously in good shape, it seems that this summer training is going well." Xu Hongzhi said easily as his mentality was not affected by the injury.
Li Yuang nodded and did not continue on this topic. He just kept staring at Xu Hongzhi's waist.
Summer hospital gowns are relatively thin, and Xu Hongzhi's waist clearly shows signs of being restrained by protective gear...
Xu Hongzhi noticed his gaze, patted his waist with his hand and said, "The operation was successful. If I lie down for another month, there will be no problem."
"I'm sorry..." After saying that, Li Yuang lowered his head.
Seeing Li Yuang's appearance, Xu Hongzhi sighed to himself: He is still a child!
"carp……"
"Um?"
"Thank you!"
Li Yuang raised his head and looked at Xu Hongzhi with a puzzled face, wondering where this thank you came from.
Xu Hongzhi looked at the bedside drawer and said, "Open it. There is a box inside. Take it out and open it."
Following Xu Hongzhi's request, Li Yuang opened the box and saw a gold medal inside!
Li Yuang also has this gold medal. It is the gold medal for the 5,000-meter relay at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics!
"Thank you for giving me this gold medal."
"Brother Xu Zi, this is what you earned with your hard work..."
Before Li Yuang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Hongzhi: "No matter how tiny the light is, it is still light, and no matter how ordinary a person is, he has his highlight moment! My highlight moment was standing on the podium of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. that moment!"
"Whether you admit it or not, without you and Da Jing there would be no gold medal, but I know that your role in that game is irreplaceable! Thank you for making my life shine. "
"actually, I……"
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Li Yuang wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Xu Hongzhi smiled and said: "Carp, do you know? From the first time I saw you skating in the national training team, I knew you could stay in the national team. At that time, you were only 13 years old, but your ice The feeling is absolutely top-notch.”
"As expected, your kid stayed, and through his own efforts, he stayed in the first team. Later, he went to be a sparring partner for the women's team, and then came back. I'm afraid no one expected that your kid's talent is so terrifying. He is less than 16 years old. He started to shine in the Winter Olympics. It’s really enviable!”
As he spoke, the smile on Xu Hongzhi's face became even wider, and his eyes became a little brighter...
Li Yuang's family knows his own affairs. If there was no system and no Dundun'er, he would not have come forward so early!
But it is only a matter of time before he slips out. Maybe in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, he can only do nothing, and he will not be so outstanding in the World Championships. There is a high probability that he will have to wait until the BJ Winter Olympics to start to realize his talent.
At this point, Xu Hongzhi was silent for a while before continuing: "Carp, I'm retiring... I originally thought I could do something more for the national team... Now I can't do anything."
"Instead of occupying a position, it is better to give it to you young people as soon as possible."
"Brother Xu Zi, didn't the team doctor say that he can recover in a year at most?"
Hearing Xu Hongzhi's decision, Li Yuang was a little anxious. He didn't want Xu Hongzhi to retire so early. If possible, he hoped to do it again in four years just like he said after winning the 5000-meter relay!
"Carp, I am 28 this year. I have been working hard for short track speed skating for 20 years since I was 8 years old!"
"Perhaps the physical condition can be improved in a year, but what happens after that? Will it take a year for the technology and positive state to recover?"
"Age is a very real issue..."
Looking at Xu Hongzhi's melancholy look, Li Yuang said again: "I'm sorry, if there was no accident at the World Championships, we could still fight side by side."
"This is my own decision and has nothing to do with you or the accident. I had this idea during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, but I just didn't want to give up the national team uniform."
"The World Championships was just an accident. No matter what my current result is, it is my own decision. You don't have to worry about it."
"If so, then go to the ice rink and train hard!"
"Carp, four years is enough for you to improve yourself and fully realize your talents!"
"Your sister-in-law Wang Meng can become the devil of short track speed skating, why can't you?"
"South Korea can produce Ahn Hyun-soo, why can't China produce Li Yuang?"
"Carp, I am a soldier, and my mission is to be the champion... I am not able to complete it due to my limited strength... but I believe you can do it!"
Looking at Xu Hongzhi's fiery eyes, Li Yuang patted the national flag on his T-shirt with his right hand and said: "I will not become Wang Meng's second, I just want to be Li Yuang!"
"Brother Xu Zi, just wait and see, the BJ Winter Olympics is destined to see the birth of a legend!"

Thanks to "Piaomiao Zhiye" and "Shui Muyu" for their monthly votes!
Fans of Xu Zi, please don’t scold me. When I first started writing, I didn’t know much about the members of the national team, so I buried such a hole! Feel sorry!
