On the afternoon of the 10th, the sky was like a wash, and the clouds rolled in leisurely. After completing the boarding formalities at Wuhan Tianhe Airport, Wang Frost, the star player of the Chinese women's soccer team, waved goodbye to her mother, relatives and friends, and embarked on a flight to Qingdao alone, restarting her road back to the team.
In the past three months, Wang Frost, who unfortunately suffered a foot fracture during the Asian Cup, has been undergoing rehabilitation and special physical training at the Hubei Provincial Sports Bureau Football Sports Management Center, where she has been challenging herself on the track alone. Thanks to the attentive care of the center's director Xia Qing, the guardianship of the professional team and the tacit cooperation of the three youth training teams, Wang Frost has gradually returned to the familiar track both physically and psychologically.
According to Cheng Yang, a rehabilitator at the Hubei Sports Science Institute, Wang Frost has been undergoing specialized physical training for six weeks. "Through test and evaluation data and team competitions, her physical condition has recovered quite well, and her cardiorespiratory function, lower limb strength, running and acceleration ability have all improved significantly." Cheng Yang commented.
Wang Frost also expressed satisfaction with her recovery. "I feel that I am recovering well, but I still need more time to rub shoulders with my national teammates and coaches. I believe I will soon be able to adapt to the rhythm of the national team and the tactical requirements of the coach."
These days have been both challenging and rewarding for Wang Frost. On top of the grueling training, she occasionally went home to be with her parents, coached young players to pursue their soccer dreams, and set up a special prize for the Hubei Provincial Youth Soccer Championship. At the same time, she also welcomed a new identity - aunt.
Amidst the joy of witnessing the birth of her niece, Wang Frost has been sharing photos of her little one and aunt and nephew together on social media from time to time. "It's been a different experience, and of course it took a lot out of me to have the opportunity to be at home with my family because of the injury." Wang Frost lamented.
Wang Frost's mother told reporters that this is the longest stay of Wang Frost in Wuhan, and this parting, when the next time to go home is still unknown. For this return, Wang Frost and her mother prepared two suitcases, one of which is as high as half a person, filled with clothes, daily necessities, tea sets and a few books.
It was a tearful goodbye as Wang Frost chatted with everyone, with most of the conversation centered around soccer. Her mother didn't say much, just silently slipped a new mask into Wang Frost's bag.
However, it was also a parting full of hope and fight. "There is a lot of anticipation and excitement inside, and I may need to control my emotions at first." Wang Frost told reporters with a smile.
On the afternoon of July 20, the Chinese women's soccer team will usher in the first match of the East Asian Cup in Japan, which is also Wang Frost's long-awaited return debut. "Every game we want to win, I will do my best to meet the coach's requirements, show my best form on the pitch, play at a high level and win the game."
After a break, Wang Frost sets sail again with the love and burning heart of her family. (End of full text)
