Wang Shuang returns to the national team after recovering from injury

  On the afternoon of June 10, on the light blue sky, the clouds were curling up.

After checking in at Wuhan Tianhe Airport, Chinese female football player Wang Shuang bid farewell to her mother and close relatives and friends, and boarded the flight to Qingdao alone, embarking on the journey of returning to the national team.

  In the past three months, Wang Shuang, who had a fractured foot during the Asian Cup, has been undergoing rehabilitation training and special physical training at the Football Sports Management Center of Hubei Provincial Sports Bureau, competing with herself on a separate track.

Thanks to the careful care of the center director Xia Qing, the guarantee of the professional team, and the cooperation of the three youth training teams, Wang Shuang gradually regained the familiar feeling physically and psychologically.

  According to Cheng Yang, a rehabilitation teacher at the Hubei Institute of Sports Science, Wang Shuang has been transitioning from rehabilitation training to special physical training for 6 weeks.

"During this period, judging from the test evaluation data and the weekly team competition, her physical ability has recovered well, and her cardiopulmonary ability, lower body strength, running distance, and acceleration distance have improved significantly." Cheng Yang said.

  Wang Shuang also felt good.

"I think the recovery is not bad, but it will take some time to adjust and adapt with the teammates of the national team and the head coach. I believe that I can quickly adapt to the rhythm of the national team and the technical and tactical requirements of the head coach."

  For Wang Shuang, this time was both exhausting and precious.

In addition to the day-to-day training, she can occasionally go home to accompany her parents, go to the stadium to guide the children in their dreams, and set up special bonuses for the ongoing Hubei Youth Football Championship.

In addition, she has a new identity: aunt.

  Wang Shuang, who witnessed the birth of his niece in his hometown, "showed off" pictures of children and photos of his aunt and nephew on social media every now and then.

"This is a very different experience. Of course, the price is quite high. Because of the injury, I can have such an opportunity to accompany my parents, brother and sister-in-law at home." Wang Shuang said.

  Wang Shuang's mother told reporters that this is the longest period of time Wang Shuang has stayed in Wuhan in more than ten years, and this time she left, she did not know when she would return home next time.

For this journey, my mother and Wang Shuang prepared two suitcases together.

One of the boxes was half the height of a person, and it was packed full of changes of clothes, daily necessities, tea sets and a few books.

  This is a farewell that will be hidden in the heart.

Wang Shuang chatted with everyone casually, mostly on football-related topics.

Mother didn't talk much, and silently stuffed a new mask into Wang Shuang's carry-on bag.

  It was also a parting with high expectations and high fighting spirit.

"My heart is full of anticipation and excitement. I might have to try my best to control my emotions when I went to the early stage." Wang Shuang told reporters with a smile.

  On the afternoon of July 20, the Chinese women's football team will usher in the first match of the East Asia Cup in Japan, which is also Wang Shuang's long-awaited return debut.

"Every game on behalf of the national team, we want to win. I will try my best to fulfill the coach's technical and tactical requirements, show a good spirit on the court, play well and win the game."

  The rested Wang Shuang, with the love of family and friends, with a fiery and burning heart, set off for her return journey.
