Wood closed the door after Des Walker left. The first thing that he said to Twain was, "I hope you will play me in the match against Germany tomorrow."
Twain was not the least bit surprised after hearing Wood's words. He had expected Wood to say what he did.
"That's impossible, George," Twain replied to Wood with a serious expression on his face. "You have yet to fully recover."
"No, I've fully recovered." Wood performed a series of high knees before Twain to prove that he was saying the truth.
"You are lying, George."
"It's my own body. Why would I lie?" Wood asked.
Wood was not able to be as calm as Twain. He took a step forward and stood before Twain. "You told me to wait for three games. But what if we don't even manage to advance to the next round? What's the point in me waiting for three games then? I can't wait and don't want to wait any longer."
