42 42: A parent's sacrifice!

"Rocky, you're training so hard in England, why didn't you tell your parents?"

"Be sure to pay attention to your body and have a good relationship with your teammates!"

"The documentary mum watched with your dad, and played well in England."

Just after the documentary ended, Rocky received a call from his mother, Ritika Das.

Her tone was caring, although she still spoke to Rocky in a commanding manner.

He's only 18 years old.

At this age, I don't how many people are roaming in search of girlfriends, while some others are doubting the meaning of life.

But Rocky never minded her tone at all. He felt extremely familiar and warm.

He had been in England for almost three months.

If you say that you don't want to be at home and don't want to be with your parents, it's definitely a lie.

And because of the time difference, plus both parents were worried about disturbing him.

They haven't spoken on the phone for a long time.

Basically, we communicate on WhatsApp.

So, hearing his mother's voice, he was full of nostalgia at this time.

His mother said a few words, and then handed the phone to his father.

Abhishek didn't said too much. He said a few words of encouragement, and then hung up the phone.

Rocky looked at the interface for ending the call and couldn't help laughing.

Yes, his father said that they'll be returning to their hometown day after tomorrow.

They came to Delhi because of Rocky. His father was a lawyer and mother, a housewife.

His father continued his job in Delhi since he had that qualification. The reason why he never left Odisha because he had to take care of his family since he was 17. He had to look after his only brother and sister and grief-stricken mother after his father sudden demise.

Now, all of them have grown up, had their own job, can handle the home, but he still did his duty as being the eldest.

Until he saw Rocky's enthusiasm for football, his hardwork and dedication over the years made him a little emotional since unlike him, Abhishek was a good cricket player. Too bad, he couldn't follow his dream. So, he made up his mind to support his son follow his dream.

Maybe...one day it become a reality.

It's been 5 years since they left for Delhi.

They were originally from Odisha and Rocky had a joint family.

For his son, Abhishek didn't hesitate and agreed to come here since football environment in Odisha is too bleak. He gave up his promotion to higher level by choosing to transfer.

Who would have expected that the water here is more complicated than there?

Fortunately, Rocky awakened system or I'm afraid I've no face to face my parents.

...

Rocky just hung up the phone.

The WhatsApp messages of Lima and Langer followed one after another.

At first, they all came to praise Rocky's documentary.

But then it evolved into other chats.

October 4th.

Ranieri announced that the entire team will be on vacation for 10 days.

This was also something that can't be helped. If possible, Ranieri doesn't want to take such a long vacation.

The main reason was that the national match day had begun, and almost half of Leicester City's main players have to leave the team and report to the national team.

The entire Premier League had also been suspended for ten days until the end of the national game day.

Yesterday, Leicester City challenged Norwich away from home. In the end, Vardy scored twice to help the team beat Norwich with a score of 1-2, allowing the team to maintain a proud record of eight unbeaten rounds.

Although at the post-match press conference, the old man Ranieri humbly said that our goal for Leicester City was to get 40 points to avoid relegation.

But everyone knows that Leicester City was a dark horse.

Now in the whole Premier League, no one will regard Leicester City as a weak team.

If anyone still thinks Leicester City is a weak team, I am afraid Arsenal will be the first to refute.

Therefore, in the eyes of the small teams and the big teams, the international break is an opportunity to weaken Leicester City's strength.

After all, the most serious and most troublesome FIFA virus is the team like Leicester City, which is strong but has no background.

They rely on a few main players. Once the players are tired or injured, their strength will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Rocky was expelled from the national team, and he was one of the few players in the team who does not need to worry about the FIFA virus.

This also made Ranieri breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was even more grateful to Indian Football Team's wonderful operation.

They were really good people.

Did they know that even with Rocky, they wouldn't get good grades, so they just fired Rocky so he could play professional football wholeheartedly?

Ranieri wondered in his heart.

...

The team's next game was on October 17.

That is, thirteen days later.

In the face of the sudden ten-day vacation, Rocky suddenly seemed to have nothing to do.

The coaches in charge of the team's training also went to accompany their families to enjoy the holiday.

There was no way for Rocky to train by himself.

It's not that he didn't want to go home, but his parents refuted.

In their words, it would take two days to travel back and forth, and it would not take long to stay at home, and at most would have to leave in a week.

It's better to let him stay in England honestly and wait until the end of the season to let Rocky go home.

Although they said that, Rocky knew that his mother and father were still a little distressed about the airfare, so they refused his request since they're in Delhi now.

So, during these few days of vacation, he was seen either doing light excercise in the gym every day, or going out for a run, while brushing the traffic rules in England.

After all, it's been almost two months, and the driver's license had not yet been obtained.

Rocky looked at the Ferrari 488 in the garage, and if his heart wasn't itchy, it would be fake.
