Guardiola was a sharp man and could read between the lines. He immediately understood what Chen Yu wasn't saying.
"Chen, is there something wrong with Ronnie's knee? I remember you saying there were two treatment options."
Chen Yu nodded and explained the situation.
Guardiola understood immediately. Ronaldo had been injured for eight months, which had already taken a huge bite out of Blanchini and the others' earnings. So when Chen Yu proposed another surgery, followed by a ten-month recovery period, there was no way Blanchini would agree.
"So you're saying that if he doesn't have the surgery, he can recover, but his athletic ability will be nowhere near what it used to be."
Guardiola had seen many cases like this. His idol Baggio, for instance, had his meniscus removed at seventeen. Guardiola had always believed that if Baggio had possessed a healthy pair of legs, his accomplishments would have been far greater.
