Chapter 7

 In the hotel's top-floor gym, Xia Xing had just finished his afternoon training.

  Even in the early stages of the formal signing, Xia Xing still did not relax his strict requirements on himself.

  He is very aware that he has many shortcomings.

  His body is far inferior to the strong body of Europeans, which is a flaw.

  Since he had not received top-level football training since he was a child, some basic skills also needed to be strengthened.

  Now that he is 18 years old, he must work hard against the clock to get what he wants.

  After the indoor physical training in the afternoon and dinner, Xia Xing returned to his room as soon as possible.

  "Virtual Arena" on!

  Xia Xing will not waste a moment of the two hours of virtual arena time.

  In reality, he had already exhausted a lot of energy in the afternoon training, but here, he was full of energy again.

  He can feel himself improving every time he plays with Zidane and Henry.

  This is not a virtual improvement brought about by a system plug-in, but a real improvement of his own.

  Zidane's ball control and passing methods, Henry's dribbling and shooting skills have all made Xia Xing make great progress.

  And adjusting Zidane and Henry to the opponent's side made Xia Xing feel a strong sense of oppression.

  Is this the deterrent power of superstars?

  His physical fitness has been very good since he was little, and the "physical fitness score 90 points" marked by the system is very appropriate.

  He played at full capacity in the "Virtual Arena" for 120 minutes, with only a 15-minute break in between.

  Xia Xing was covered in stinky sweat and felt extremely refreshed!

  The pleasure of exercise is unparalleled!

  At the end of two hours, the "virtual arena" exited. In reality, only two minutes had passed.

  Take a shower, get into bed and lie down.

  It was still early and Xia Xing did not fall asleep early.

  He entered the system again and reviewed the previous game.

  Using the God's view perspective of the 360-degree playback function to look back at the passing routes and methods of Zidane and Henry just now.

  Looking at his running position again, he shook his head repeatedly.

  It's really bad, there are too many abilities that need to be improved.

  Entering the system training every night, and then reviewing the game from a God's perspective and conducting tactical analysis.

  This has become the rhythm of Xia Xing's current and future efforts.

  If you want to achieve inhuman achievements, you must persist in inhuman efforts.

  What's more, he still needs to work hard to make up for his previous shortcomings.

  This night, the lights of Leicester City are bright.

  No one knows that there is an Eastern boy who is doing his best, looking forward to breaking out of his cocoon and being reborn.

  At nine o'clock the next morning, Xia Xing received a call from Leicester City Club.

  Immediately he went downstairs, a car was already waiting.

  Leicester City treats players on loan from friendly clubs with high respect.

  After a ten-minute drive, the car stopped under the office building of Leicester City Club.

  Xia Xing followed the staff's guidance and came to an office on the third floor.

  He knocked lightly on the door, received a response, and stepped inside.

  Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. Although he was born and raised in England, he did not have the rigid appearance of an Englishman.

  "Hi, xia, nice to meet you. I am Steve Walsh, the director of ttransfer in Leicester City Club. You can call me Steve."

  Xia Xing smiled and said: "Well, nice to meet you sir."

  Walsh looked at the young man in front of him with interest.

  Although He had seen Xia Xing on a video of an exhibition match before, this was the first time he saw him in person.   

  As someone who has worked hard in the business world for many years, Walsh may not look at players with a flattering eye, but he looks at people with a very vicious eye.

  Just after watching one of Xia Xing's exhibition games, Walsh had his own judgment about Xia Xing's character.

  Although this young man looks low-key and calm on the outside, he is very competitive in his heart.

  Two circus-like traps and passes in that game won applause from the audience and earned him the opportunity to come off the bench.

  He then Seized the opportunity and go all out to show himself.

  This is a character that Walsh likes very much.

  Although Walsh allowed Xia Xing to call him "Steve" just now, Xia Xing did not.

  He still politely addressed him as "Director Walsh."

  This is not a blunt sense of distance, but a very polite way of handling such matters.

  After all, Xia Xing doesn't know what his personality is, so it's better to call him normally.

  From this point of view, this young man is not simple!

  Walsh nodded, asked his secretary to make a cup of Chinese black tea for Xia Xing, and then started signing the contract.

  Because it was just a loan contract, there was no signing ceremony.

  After signing the loan contract, Walsh smiled and patted Xia Xing on the shoulder.

  "Young man, Leicester City is a humane club and you will fall in love with it. If you can help the team succeed in reaching the Premier League, maybe our fate will last more than one year. Okay, I will take you to Ngirl, Go talk to him in your office, after all, he is the one who decides the future."

  Xia Xing knew that the Nigel that Walsh was talking about was Leicester City coach Nigel Pearson.

  It stands to reason that the head coach should show up at this signing ceremony.

  If something happens and he can't come, he should at least make a phone call or something.

  But it has been three days since Xia Xing came to Leicester City, and Pearson has not contacted him at all, including his team.

  Xia Xing knew that he must be in trouble.

  But it's useless to think too much. As long as he is strong enough, not to mention Pearson, even Ferguson and Mourinho will love him.

  Walsh sent Xia Xing to the corner of the second floor and pointed to the third office on the dark side.

  "Your new coach is right there, go ahead."

  "Thank you, Director Walsh."

  "I wish you good luck."

  Xia Xing quickly gathered his mood and walked to the office.

  "Dong dong dong!"

  "Come in!"

  The voice sounded impatient.

  Xia Xing pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see two people sitting in the room.

  He had done his homework before coming here. Although he had never met, he knew the two people in front of him.

  "Coach Pearson, coach Shakespeare, hello. I am on loan from Manchester United, my name is Xia xing. Please take care of me. "

  Assistant coach Craig Shakespeare stood up with a smile and said hello.

  He is slightly chubby and looks like an honest person who is easy to get along with.

  "Xia, hello, welcome to Leicester City."

  Unlike Shakespeare's enthusiasm, Pearson seemed very cold.

  The room he chose was on the dark side, and the room was filled with a cold atmosphere, as if he was not a living person, but a machine that only focused on football.

  At this moment, he looked carefully at the young man in front of him from head to toe, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be in a low mood.

  And the first words he spoke made Xia Xing's heart tremble.

  "Xia, I don't like beating around the bush, I just say what I want.

  "To be honest, I don't like you. "
