Chapter 139: Chapter 122: Football has never been a competition of value. The teams that can win championships all possess a certain spirit! _2

Podolski’s calf muscles are excessively fatigued, showing signs of cramping after consecutive matches.

Main forward Icardi has a fracture in the joint of his right little toe, which has troubled him for half a year, and conservative treatment has been adopted all along, though surgery may be required at the end of the season.

As the head coach of Inter, Mancini is more aware of the team’s injury situation than anyone else in the coaching staff.

The reason he still asked Comby during the meeting was to have this chief team doctor explain to everyone.

Mancini said to Comby, "I know Icardi’s little finger has been hurting, has it developed into a fracture now? What’s Icardi’s attitude towards this?"

"Mauro is quite tough, saying that he can play with it even if it hurts, but I think this surgery can’t be delayed anymore; otherwise, his right little toe might become disabled, which would be very disadvantageous for his future development."

Comby looked solemn, paused, and said in an even heavier tone:

"What’s even more crucial is that among the three goalkeepers configured for the Inter First Team, the second goalkeeper Cazzoli will be bedridden for a long time. This means that once the starting goalkeeper Handanovic is unable to play due to injury, we can only use the third goalkeeper Berni."

"Although I’m a doctor, I also know what a stable, high-level goalkeeper means to a team. Can Berni serve as a starting goalkeeper? What do you all think?"

Comby also mentioned Tang Long’s situation. Thankfully, Tang Long also feels muscle fatigue, but he is very young, only 18 years old, and there’s no major issue, though he should also pay attention to rest.

In short, the situation is already very severe.

Despite Comby and his medical team providing high-level medical assurance to the players with the most scientific and rigorous attitude.

At the season’s end, whether a large-scale injury wave will erupt is uncertain.

After all, the fatigue accumulated over the season might very likely erupt in the end!

The collapse of a dam often happens in an instant.

Comby graduated from the medical program at Bologna University and earned his medical degree at Duke University in the United States.

He served long-term as the team doctor for the NBA Lakers, providing medical guidance for top basketball stars like Kobe, Gasol, and Fisher.

Being poached by Inter Milan from abroad with a high salary.

Comby holds a very high status within the team.

Although his salary among club personnel is far below Mancini’s, it’s much higher than the majority of the First Team coaches!

The Inter First Team coaching staff has always been very respectful towards Comby, respectfully calling him "Dr. Comby."

His medical judgments play a very important role in Inter Milan’s tactical formations.

After all, no matter how good the tactics are, they need people to execute them, and if players are injured, how can their competitive state be ensured?

After he finished speaking, everyone remained silent, with their minds made up.

Comby’s conclusion seemed to put an end to this debate.

Mancini, oh Mancini, it’s not that we don’t want to charge forward.

It’s just this injury situation, which makes it really hard for us to push forward~

You can’t go back to playing yourself.

Everyone silently looked at Mancini, expecting him to make the appropriate compromise.

After all, whether the KPI targets set at the beginning of the season can be met affects the performance evaluation of everyone present and is directly linked to their salaries.

Mancini still remained noncommittal, just looking at everyone nonchalantly.

The crowd also couldn’t grasp it; the boss isn’t deaf or mute, so what’s the meaning?

They all turned their gaze to Herrera, seemingly saying: you’re the assistant coach, quickly persuade the boss, this concerns the money in every one of our pockets!

Herrera tentatively asked Mancini, "Boss, you see, everyone’s opinion is to forgo the UEFA Europa League and Coppa Italia, focusing on the top three in the league. Should we maybe just..."

At this moment, the video analysis coach Chiwo, who had kept silent, unexpectedly spoke.

"Actually, we can still make a push. If we can fully exploit the potential of the substitute players and increase rotation, there’s still hope to win a trophy," Chiwo, who hadn’t spoken till now, suddenly said.

Mancini’s eyelid twitched, looking towards him.

These words stirred great waves, instantly making the members of the Inter First Team coaching staff at the long table flinch.

Everyone turned unfriendly looks towards Chiwo.

"Christian, do you understand what you’re saying?"

With a mocking tone, Herrera said to Chiwo, also pointing at his own head, "Are you speaking without thinking, or has water gotten into your head?"

"Of course, I understand what I’m saying, I take responsibility for every word I say."

Chiwo smiled, evidently full of confidence.

"Alright, then tell us what your reasons are? Do you have sufficient theory to overthrow what we said before, go on, say it, say it then!"

Herrera spread his hands, finding Chiwo completely indefensible,

This is not the time for you to show off!

Don’t assume that just because you represented Inter Milan in achieving the treble in 2010, that you can soar to the skies~

This is the Inter coaching team, you need to look at issues from a coach’s perspective, not charge recklessly!

"I’m saying you guys are too cowardly; let’s not talk about the UEFA Europa League, as there are too many variables, but we’ve entered the Coppa Italia final, with only one match left, if we beat Juventus, we can win the championship. Do we really want to give up? The final is in May, and possibly by that time we’ve already secured the top three, what do you say?"
