Chapter 375
Gaetalo didn't let Li Shiguang and Allen wait too long.
Li Shiguang had just called Rivaldo and asked him to take the players to train first, when Allen's phone on the table rang.
"Mr. Li, I have seen Kaka." Compared with before, Gaetalo's voice this time seemed much more relaxed, "The problem is not big. After the game yesterday, Kaka felt some pain in his groin. The team doctor checked and found some inflammation. After giving him medicine, the symptoms actually disappeared. Considering that this is a physical problem of the player, at Kaka's insistence, the national team staff still notified me this morning."
Gaetalo's words made Li Shiguang's hanging heart ease a little.
But he knew better than anyone that Kaka's groin definitely still had hidden dangers!
After all, after going to Real Madrid, Kaka's groin had developed into a chronic inflammation, and this injury was almost to the extent that it would accompany him throughout his career!
In fact, groin injuries are quite common in sports. This relatively fragile area needs to drive the thigh to exert force, and many actions in football games often require instantaneous force, such as sudden acceleration and violent long shots outside the penalty area. In addition, it is difficult to achieve obvious training effects through regular training for the muscles here and the closely related thigh adductor muscles, so groin injuries have become one of the most common injuries in football players.
And in Kaka, this injury has been most directly reflected.
Since Kaka debuted, his playing style has been significantly different from the traditional organizing front midfielder, and different from the traditional front midfielder, especially from Brazil. Kaka's footwork is not gorgeous, but the unrivaled ball-holding speed, strong secondary acceleration ability and excellent physical confrontation ability are Kaka's magic weapon. This unique shining way of playing also makes people watch Kaka play football with a completely different aesthetic feeling from other traditional front midfielders!
But there are gains and losses.
This way of playing also makes Kaka's body bear a higher burden than others for a long time.
If his young body could hold up when he was in AC Milan, then after he went to Real Madrid, the hidden dangers of this style of play became apparent.
At that time, Real Madrid had a tight schedule, and the re-appointed Fiorentino spent a lot of money to build the "second-generation Galaxy Battleship" in an attempt to compete head-on with the "Dream Three" Barcelona, which was at its peak. In order to cope with the game, Kaka also took conservative treatment on the advice of the Real Madrid team doctor.
The consequences can be imagined.
From the middle of the 2009-2010 season, Kaka not only did not completely solve the groin problem, but also began to hurt his left knee. After playing the club game, he was eager to serve the country and forced himself to participate in the 2010 South Africa World Cup with a closed face. After the World Cup, he underwent surgery on the meniscus of his left knee and then rested for nearly five months.
It was after this knee surgery that Kaka could never go back to his previous state.
After Kaka came to Leeds United, in order to reduce the burden on his body, Li Shiguang has been subtly changing Kaka's playing style.
When he was in AC Milan, Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation actually gave Kaka a lot of space to sprint in the middle. Although this has released Kaka's potential, as Li Shiguang thought, it also increased Kaka's physical burden.
So this season, Li Shiguang rarely uses this style of play.
Generally, when long-distance sprint breakthroughs are needed, Leeds United will pass the ball to the two wingers and let Bale or Ribery do this work.
More often, Kaka is still looking for some short-distance breakthrough opportunities in the middle!
What Li Shiguang didn't expect was.
Even if he had used Kaka so protectively, he still couldn't change his fate of groin injury.
Reminiscent of the scene of Kaka playing in the 2010 World Cup with an injury.
Li Shiguang's mood, which had just eased, suddenly tensed up again, and he quickly asked: "So what now? Can he return to England today? I asked Allen to arrange for someone in advance, and then check Kaka after he comes back."
"This..." Gaetalo obviously didn't expect Li Shiguang to be so direct, and he couldn't answer Li Shiguang's words for a while.
Just when Li Shiguang was about to ask more questions, Kaka's voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Boss, thank you for your concern, but we were tied by Peru in yesterday's game, so I think after the game with Uruguay the day after tomorrow..."
KakaBefore he finished, Li Shiguang interrupted him coldly: "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Boss... I just want..."
"Hey... I understand your feelings, Kaka." Li Shiguang sighed, but his tone was still firm, "But you are injured now, groin inflammation, as a professional athlete, I believe you also know that if you don't take good care of this injury, it will only get worse! I don't say that you have to be responsible for the club, but as your friend, head coach and boss, I hope you can be responsible for your future career, OK?"
"I understand..." Hearing that Li Shiguang regarded him as a friend, Kaka's mood also surged with a little touch. Although he was still a little entangled, his words were also eased a lot, "But in the qualifiers... I'm afraid they can't beat their opponents . "
"Kaka, the World Cup qualifiers have just begun." Li Shiguang looked at the schedule that Allen had just taken out from the computer, "With the strength of the Brazilian national team, can they not qualify in South America without you? I just let you play one less game! And I have decided that after you come back for a physical examination, no matter how serious your injury is, I will let you rest for at least half a month! You are only 25 years old, and you still have a long career! Listen to me, don't fight for the moment, after you get your body back, there are still a lot of games waiting for you to play!"
"I..." Faced with Li Shiguang's affectionate words, Kaka finally lowered his head, and agreed to Li Shiguang's request with both emotion and loss, "Hey... OK... Then I will discuss it with Mr. Carlos later. If he agrees, I will come back early..."
