The next day at your job there wasn't really much to do. You had already organized everything in your office and had become familiar with players past injuries.
You decided to go out to the field and watch the team practice. When you got to the field you saw the guy from yesterday sitting there and you decided to go sit next to him.
"Hey how are you feeling"
"Oh hi, I'm doing a lot better, I can move my knee more and it hardly hurts, almost like I can play" he said looking at you with a smile, seeking for your approval.
"Ya te dije, no playing for 2 weeks, it's barely been 2 days"
His smile faded slowly hearing that again.
"Fine fine I get it, no playing for 2 weeks" he said mimicking your voice.It made you laugh the way he tried to mimic you.
The team was preparing for their game that was in 5 days and were working very hard. It was going to be here in Mexico but just at a different stadium than where the team normally practices.
The next couple days consisted of mostly giving the players ice baths and helping with their soreness, but no more injuries.
Game day arrived and all the players were prepared. You were in small office setting up stuff just in case someone did get hurt because at games you never know. There was also other trainers and medics set up around the field, and if needed they would take them off the field and bring them to you.
They were playing against Uruguay today, so there was an equal chance of either team winning.
About 20 minutes later, the whistle blew and the game begun. You weren't watching the game since you were stationed to be in charge of the trainers office in case someone was brought in.
First half had ended and the teams were tied 2-2. Edson had scored one and chuky another.
Then second half started and 30 minutes in you get a call through the walkie-talkie that someone had gotten injured and were being brought to you. You immediately set up a bed for the injured players.
You were getting other stuff while they were bringing him in and laying him down on the bed. When you were walking back, you stopped for a sec realizing who it was
Are you kidding me?
It was the same guy who you had told not to play for two weeks and here he was again. It had only been a week and he was already playing.
"What happened to not playing"
"I know but I was feeling bet-" he was cut off with the pain he was going through.
"You lied to the coach didn't you"
He looked away not giving you a response.
"Of coarse you did, okay but what happened"
"I was running and someone pulled my shirt back and my knee hyperextended and twisted too"
You wrapped his knee again, a bit tighter than the last time and placed ice on his knee.
"Ok well I need to actually write your report, and this time I'll tell the coach"
"Fine" he responded
"Ok so what's your name" you said
"Diego"
Hearing that made you stop and look up at him.
"Diego what" you questioned.
"Diego Lainez..."
