Chapter 79 Moratti

At the end of January, in the 16th round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced Bari, the bottom team in the league, at home.

For Inter Milan, which only has 18 points and ranks 12th in the league, this game is like a piece of pie from the sky, a timely help.

Game time is at [-] p.m.

In the evening, Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti, as usual, pedaled on his bicycle and walked through the ancient city of Milan to the Meazza Stadium.

Before the game, Tardelli had told him in a relaxed tone, just sit in the stands and wait for a big victory.

But Moratti didn't dare to be careless.

According to international practice, teams in the relegation zone are not easy to mess with.

However, after arriving at the stadium, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters.

"Wait, what did you say, Luca!"

The noisy voice made it almost impossible for Moratti to hear what many reporters were saying. He waved to everyone to be quiet, then pointed at a familiar face and asked.

Reporter Luca from Gazzetta dello Sport immediately said: "It's Ronnie. Just in the morning, Pita suddenly announced to reporters that Ronnie was preparing to go to the United States for another knee surgery. Massimo, Ronnie has Tell you? What’s going on? It’s been eight months. Isn’t his knee better?”

The 56-year-old Moratti's body trembled violently, like a bolt from the blue.

He couldn't figure out why he would know this kind of thing from a reporter.

At that moment, anger surged into his heart uncontrollably, but when he was about to turn into trash talk and blurt it out, Moratti forcibly took it back.

"I don't know, don't ask me, security guard."

A distraught Moratti called for security and forced his way through the dense crowd of reporters.

He had long forgotten about the game. He got away from the reporters and didn't even have time to stop his bicycle. He took out his mobile phone and called Branchini.

What on earth did these bastards do?
And why do we need another surgery? Is there something wrong with last year's surgery?

Too many questions lingered in Moratti's mind, making him extremely irritable.

It took half a minute for the call to be connected.

Before he could roar, Branchini's apology came over the phone: "Sorry Massimo, please listen to me first."

Moratti suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Say."

Although Branchini traveled across Europe and stirred up troubles, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of a real boss like Moratti. He considered his words and then said: "That's it. You should know that Ronnie's knee Recovery has been falling short of expectations.”

"I know." Moratti interrupted Branchini directly: "But I am willing to give him enough time to rest, and I have been thinking of a way. The day before yesterday, yes, just the day before yesterday, I just talked with Silvio , he also recommended me a Belgian doctor named Marcelman, who said he was particularly good at rehabilitation after injuries, so Giovanni, what are you doing? Where is Ronnie, where is he now? "

Branchini quickly recalled whether there was such a number one figure in Belgium, but he failed and had no impression.

To compare, Gérard Cy Young, who performed Ronaldo's knee surgery, is still a famous doctor in France.

"Massimo, here's the thing. Through my connections, I found a doctor in the United States. That guy was very good. He cured two top NBA stars. He examined Ronnie and said that if Ronnie was conservative With treatment, it is impossible to regain the previous athletic ability, and only another operation can completely restore health." Branchini carefully explained the reason.

"American doctor?" Moratti frowned. He knew that the medical level in the United States was much higher than that in Europe.

Branchini continued: "Ronnie also has great trust in Dr. Chen. The most important thing is that Chen told us that if another operation is performed, it will only take 10 months for Ronnie to return to the game in full health." , Massimo, you spent so much money to bring Ronnie to Inter Milan, you must also hope to have a completely healthy Ronnie, and then rebuild the glory of the great international era."

The words "Big International Era" calmed down Moratti's anger a lot.

That was something he had only dreamed of doing.

After thinking about it, Moratti said: "You said this American doctor cured two NBA stars. Who are they? Don't fool me with those ordinary players."

Hearing that Moratti's tone had softened, Branchini breathed a sigh of relief.

He knows that Moratti loves Ronaldo very much. As long as he uses a completely healthy Ronaldo to seduce Moratti, the old man will definitely agree.

Because after coming to Serie A from Barcelona, ​​facing the upgraded defense of Serie A, Ronaldo has been injured a lot in the past two years.

"Of course they are not ordinary stars. They are Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, and those two Jordan successors. This Dr. Chen personally repaired Hardaway's ligaments and meniscus. His medical skills are undoubtedly good." Now, Branchini can only praise Chen Yu to death.

Moratti doesn't watch basketball and doesn't pay attention to it, but the name of Jordan's successor is still very bluffing.

After thinking for a moment, Moratti said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Where is Ronnie? Is he still in Capbreton? I want to see him."

On the phone, Branchini was silent for ten seconds before whispering: "We have arrived in the United States. This was Ronnie's idea. I told him to report to you first, but you also You know, Ronnie is too casual, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Moratti breathed another breath and almost didn't come up.

It's a good one to cut first and then play!
Why don't you tell me after the operation?

But Branchini said it was Ronaldo who did it. What could Moratti do except curse in his heart? He knew Ronaldo too well, and Ronaldo was capable of doing such things.

Brushing away his scanty hair, Moratti said in a sharp voice: "Giovanni, I don't want you to be responsible for this."

Moratti knew that neither Branchini nor the two bastards from Brazil were good things.

What he was most afraid of was the evil intentions of these three guys during another surgery this time.

"Of course not." Branchini on the phone hurriedly denied: "We really just do it for Ronnie's good and hope he can return to the game in full health."

Moratti snorted softly, and then said: "In this way, you wait for me in the United States. I am going to the United States to see for myself how powerful this doctor you are talking about is."

After that, he hung up the phone directly.

I didn’t even watch the game and asked my assistant to book a flight.

"10 months."

Moratti recited one sentence, that is November this year.

This season, Moratti certainly does not expect Ronaldo to come back.

If we rest until November, we will lose half the season, which is acceptable.

Moreover, there are no national team games. Moratti has long been dissatisfied with the fact that Ronaldo is always called up by the Brazilian national team.

As far away as Phoenix.

"Chen, how do you feel?" Kalva asked Chen Yu with a smile.

Chen Yu raised his eyes and looked to the east and saw a small mountain peak, which he vaguely remembered was called Camelback Mountain. It was more than 800 meters high and was a popular place for people in Phoenix to hike.

The whole mountain was so dusty that there was almost no tree in sight, only low grass.

It is a desert area after all.

The location of the two of them was a nursing home at the foot of Camelback Mountain, 15 kilometers away from the city center.

Phoenix has plenty of sunshine and is a well-known retirement resort in the United States. There are a large number of retirement communities and nursing homes here.

The nursing home Cavani was looking for covers an area of ​​12 acres. In addition to a medical service building, there are several entertainment centers and even a golf training ground.

Of course, around the medical center, there are 15 residential units.

Chen Yu thought for a while and said: "Kalva, why do I feel like I am running a country club instead of a clinic."

Of course, the place is a good place.

And it probably won’t be cheap either.

Calva said: "You think it's like a country club. In my vision, in addition to providing the best medical services, our clinic is also you."

He pointed at Chen Yu and continued: "We should also provide recuperation services for customers. If we serve athletes, they often need several months of recovery. We can't stay in a cold hospital all the time. We should also provide services for athletes. They create a comfortable environment, so wouldn’t it be a good fit here?”

Chen Yu nodded, remembering that the sanatorium in Capbreton was indeed what Kalva said it should be.

"Okay, let's do it." Chen Yu is not a Moji person either.

This time, no matter how much the final investment is, Chen Yu, who has no money to spend, will own 20.00% of the ownership of this clinic.

Chen Yu is fully responsible for the medical aspect and has the power to recruit doctors and purchase medical equipment.

For daily operations, Kalva will find a professional manager to take charge of it on his behalf.

Of course, with this investment, the fees will definitely not be cheap.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands or even millions will be lost after one visit.

But they are facing professional athletes with astonishing incomes. As long as it can restore their health, they will be willing to spend more money.

After discussing the decoration of the medical center and what equipment to purchase, Chen Yu returned to the arena.

Today is the last day of January. There is a game against the Grizzlies at home.

It is also the first home game after a long six consecutive away games.

There is nothing wrong with the team. Chen Yu just needs to gain experience and train step by step.

But there are a lot of things going on here in the alliance.

The day before yesterday, Stern made a special call to Chen Yu and mentioned one thing, which was the All-Star Game that would be held in Washington soon.

Voting for the Eastern and Western Conferences has ended long ago, and the All-Star Game roster has been released.

In the Eastern Conference, Carter was originally the vote leader, but after Hill came back, he powerfully crushed Carter and Iverson and rushed all the way to the Eastern Conference vote leader.

Again, he is not called the son-in-law for nothing. In the entire NBA, there are not many stars who can make it out of the circle. He is one of them, and his popularity among ordinary Americans is really too high.

So Hill was not only the top vote-getter in the Eastern Conference, but also the top vote-getter for the entire All-Star Game, with a total of 190 million votes.

In the West, O'Neal won the top vote with 150 million votes.

Hardaway was injured and had already been determined to miss the All-Star Game, so it was Kidd who took the lead and determined the starting point guard position in the Western Conference.Stern contacted Chen Yu. On the one hand, Chen Yu would serve as the doctor for the Western Conference team.

Then there are injuries.

Chen Yu was surprised to learn that Mourning had not retired yet and had been selected into the All-Star Game. Stern said that the Heat were planning to let him come back after the All-Star Game.

It's just nonsense.

In Mourning's situation, playing on the field is like carrying a bomb. You don't know when it will explode and endanger your life.

Riley wants Mourning to come back, but he will never let him pass anyway.

Although he was selected, since he would not play, Mourning's position was replaced by number man center Theo Ratliff.

However, just in the past two days, he fractured his right wrist and was out for the season.

He can only be replaced by Antonio Davis.

This is east, then west.

O'Neal, the top vote-getter in the Western Conference, was diagnosed with arthritis in his big toe and is expected to rest for a month. He will definitely not be able to make it to the All-Star Game.

Then there is the other member of the OK group, Kobe. He has injuries to his right shoulder and hip. The most troublesome thing is his ankle sprain.

Chen Yu had reviewed this before and agreed to let the Lakers treat it themselves. Unexpectedly, it has not been cured yet.

Because of these injuries, Kobe did not want to play in the All-Star Game for fear of delaying the second half of the schedule.

But Stern had no intention of just letting them go.

This time the All-Star Game is being held in Washington, D.C., with everyone watching. It's a bit too much for the two of you who won the first and second place votes in the Western Conference to not play.

So Stern contacted Chen Yu and wanted Chen Yu to help. No matter what, he had to ensure that the two of them played in the All-Star Game.

The bottom line is to make sure one person plays.

So after today's game, Chen Yu is going to Los Angeles to see what's going on with these two guys and whether it's possible to play in the All-Star Game in half a month.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu went out early and drove to the arena.

Chen Yu asked Torrence to rent a house for him.

As for the car, I also bought one temporarily. Chen Yu had already asked Lexi to sell the broken car in Miami.

Now that he has a lot of money, Chen Yu bought his favorite Ford GT40.

This car really shocked the United States when it competed with Ferrari in the Le Mans endurance race.

When he was a child, the little owner who sold tractors next door had one and would wash the car in front of the garage whenever he had nothing to do. Chen Yu was deeply impressed.

The car roared and quickly arrived at the arena.

The parking lot of the arena is underground, and the entrance is on the north, and only internal vehicles can drive in.

Usually when players come to the arena, they enter from here.

Therefore, reporters often squat in this location and take photos.

If something big happens, these reporters will block people.

When Kidd committed a crime, reporters often blocked him here, forcing Kidd to ask Robinson to drive him in.

As a reporter with such great powers, he would naturally know which car belongs to Chen Yu, but no one would block Chen Yu.

The team doctor cannot be interviewed.

If you really want to block Chen Yu, you might as well go to the hospital to block him.

But today, there were many reporters gathered around the parking lot. When Chen Yu drove over, no one knew who shouted, and then a crowd of people rushed over.

Chen Yu braked suddenly and almost hit someone.

Just as he was about to get out of the car angrily, Chen Yu realized something was wrong again.

There were twenty or thirty reporters, some blocking the way in front, and a large number of reporters crowded around the driver's seat. The clicking cameras kept filming Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was a little confused. This was probably the case when Kidd had a violent quarrel at home.

The key is that nothing serious seems to have happened to me.

Or is it that something big happened to the team?

Originally, Chen Yu wanted to blow the horn and drive in directly, but when he thought of this, he rolled down the window.

Then a large number of recorders and microphones were thrown in front of Chen Yu.

Not far away, there were still a few reporters who had not moved.

"What are they doing?" One of the reporters from Phoenix TV asked in confusion.

"I don't know. Why are you interviewing Chen? Chen won't answer any questions."

"Are any Suns players injured? I haven't heard about it."

"It doesn't seem like they are domestic reporters. I just listened to them and I couldn't understand them. They might be foreign reporters."

"Foreign reporters, what's going on?"

At this time, Chen Yu kept honking his horn, and the security guard at the entrance of the parking lot also noticed the situation here and rushed over to drive away the reporters, allowing Chen Yu to drive through the crowd smoothly.

The reporters who were driven away looked at each other with regret.

Several local reporters looked at each other and squeezed past.

When asked, several people became even more confused.

"Football star?"

"Is Chen going to operate on some football star?"

Several reporters had question marks on their faces, and then they realized that these reporters were all from Europe. The reason was that Chen Yu wanted to perform an operation on a reporter named Ronaldo.

"Who is he, a hockey player?" a reporter said uncertainly.

Football really has no market in the United States.

Americans fundamentally don’t like team sports, they just like stars and extreme individual heroism.

Coupled with the mentality of "I am the boss of the world", apart from American sports, who would care about foreign sports, even if it is the most famous sport in the world.

A reporter said: "I know Beckham, but Ronaldo, I have some impression, is he the one who plays football in England?"

Another reporter from the Arizona Republic couldn't laugh or cry: "You don't care about football too much. This Ronaldo is very powerful, okay? He is a two-time World Footballer, even more powerful than Beckham. It's really strange. How can he Will you ask Chen for surgery? Are you injured?"

Everyone looked at each other and were about to inquire again, when suddenly their eyes lit up.

Kidd's car is here.

Several people immediately forgot about Ronaldo and rushed over.

In the parking lot, Chen Yu parked the car and was in a good mood.

It seems that guy finally made the right choice.

Then the next step is surgery.

I have ligament repair technology, but the effect is limited.

It has to be curative, at least it has to be gold level or higher.

There are also the curative effects of rehabilitation and drugs. From now on, there will be more and more patients, and they all have to be treated.

You have to find a way to gain more experience.

Just going to the hospital is not enough. Hospitals have limited patients.

We have to follow the example in Orlando and face a large number of ordinary people.

Although it was tiring, I also had a lot of experience.

While he was thinking about it, Chen Yu saw Brian walking by not far away.

"Brian."

Chen Yu stopped him and asked him if he had any community care activities recently.

Brian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, the schedule is quite intensive recently, so I don't have time to do it."

To engage in community activities, players must have free time.

Chen Yuna: "In that case, can we organize a free clinic for ordinary people in the city? This can also reverse the negative image of our team."

If you hold a free clinic in your own name, a lot of people should come.

If you cooperate with local hospitals and perform surgeries like crazy, you won’t be able to get the results you want.

"Chen, will it be too hard for you to do this?"

Brian suddenly felt a bit sore in his nose. Knowing that the team had a lot of negative news, Chen Yu actually took the initiative to sacrifice his time and energy to gain a good reputation for the team. He was so moved that he wanted to cry.
