Chapter 119

  The weather in Manchester is always like this, overcast.

Xia Xing really didn't like this feeling.

Ever since he came across the ocean to Manchester, Xia Xing has understood everything completely.

Why did his mother like staying in China so much at that time?

It's a thousand times better than here.

He has no feelings for Manchester, but he does have feelings for Manchester United.

After all, he had been influenced by his mother for many years as she and her family were also generational Manchester United fans.

What's more, he is still a Manchester United player now.

After returning to Manchester, Xia Xing tidied up the house a little.

The house was empty and lifeless.

At this moment, Xia Xing recalled the days when he lived at No. 17 Spring Villa District.

A strong feeling of loneliness surged into his heart.

Forget it, let's look forward.

He had a quick bite at the fast food restaurant downstairs and then went home to continue cleaning up.

To be honest, cleaning the room is definitely more tiring than playing football.

At night, lying in bed.

The house was quiet, and the feeling of loneliness became even stronger.

He decided to do something serious to divert his attention.

He then Entered the "virtual arena" to play a game of football!

That night, Xia Xing slept in a daze, and at one point he even didn't know where he was.

Is it Manchester, or Leicester City? Or in China?

Huhuhu...

The next morning, Xia Xing went to visit Sir Ferguson with gifts he had prepared in advance.

Sir Alex Ferguson's villa is in the suburbs, surrounded by green trees and extremely quiet.

Sir Ferguson was very happy to learn of Xia Xing's arrival.

"Xia! Long time no see!"

"Teacher! I miss you so much!"

The two walked hand in hand.

Ferguson had already prepared black tea for Xia Xing, and the two sat down to talk.

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him again, Sir Alex Ferguson was filled with emotion.

"Xia, when I first saw you, I knew you were a talented young man.

"But I really didn't expect that you would progress so quickly.

"After only one season of professional football, he became the best player in the Championship.

"And also scored the winning goal against Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

"You know, that shot of yours almost made my heart burst out.

"While I am sad that Manchester United lost the championship, I am also happy for your progress.

"You are great now, really great!

"If I were still at Manchester United, I would definitely put you in the 18-man squad,

even if you don't have any Premier League experience now.

"But you deserve atleast a rotation spot.

"I believe that within one season, you can become the team's starter.

"After the FA Cup final, even Ryan praised you;

"Says you're even better than he was back then.

"Xia, the future is promising."

Xia Xing felt very happy listening to Ferguson's praise.

Although he has received numerous praises in Leicester City, he was still happy from the bottom of his heart when faced with the old man's praise.

It feels great to receive praise from his football mentor.

Ferguson was in a good mood this morning and talked endlessly about his youth.

Xia Xing was listening at the side and was also in a very good mood.

At noon, Xia xing stayed at Ferguson's home to have lunch with him and his family, and Xia Xing felt very honored.

You know, even the most famous stars in international football may not get this opportunity.

After saying goodbye to Ferguson, Xia Xing went to Manchester United Club in the afternoon.

After being loaned out for a year, it is time to report back to the club.

A Club staff received Xia Xing and expressed recognition and respect for his one year in the Championship.

But he was just an ordinary middle-level manager in the Sports Department, and Xia Xing had never even met him.

This is completely different from the situation yesterday when all the senior members of Leicester City bid farewell.

What about next season?

The club staff did not give an answer.

Van Gaal has not officially arrived at Manchester United yet, and everything will have to wait until the World Cup is over.

Only the arrival of a new coach can decide the fate of many people.

Of course, this includes Xia xing.

When he returned home in the evening, Xia Xing still entered the "virtual arena" to play football.

Since unlocking the SS-level star skill "Tactical Master" through Cruyff, Xia Xing's understanding of football has reached a new level.

Especially when watching game videos and returning to defense, he can get a clearer insight into the stars' movement, passing and ball handling skills.

This improvement in the insight of gameplay will be of great benefit to Xia Xing's football career.

Being bored in Manchester, Xia Xing simply bought a plane ticket and went to Brazil.

To watch the World Cup up close.

Xia Xing felt it was amazing to be inside the passionate stadiums in Brazil.

During the last World Cup, Xia Xing was just a minor character.

His family's money simply cannot afford to go to South Africa to watch the World Cup.

Sitting in front of the TV and watching football is one of Xia Xing's greatest joys.

And now, he has money.

Even the tickets for some games were purchased through scalpers, so he doesn't mind the price increase.

After all, in a season in the Championship, in addition to salaries, there are also various goal bonuses and championship bonuses, which can afford these expenses.

This World Cup has seen countless classic matches and countless classic moments.

The Netherlands swept Spain 5-1, surprising countless fans.

Brazil was completely defeated by Germany 1-7 and lost face in front of its home fans.

The Colombian genius midfielder James Rodriguez emerged out of nowhere and shocked the world.

Gotze's shot in the final broke the hearts of countless Argentine fans.

This cup tournament is extremely classic and amazing.

The team that Xia Xing has been chasing is the Dutch team.

Because Van Gaal is their head coach and also the new head coach of Manchester United.

Taking a closer look at his style of play will help him integrate it into his playing style next season.

The Dutch team played very well in this tournament, but they were just a little unlucky.

In the semi-finals, they lost to Argentina on penalties and were just one step away from the final.

Van Gaal's dream was shattered.

The game was over, and Van Gaal's Dutch national team career was over.

Facing the interview with reporters, Van Gaal could not hide his disappointment.

"Our players played great, it's just a shame we lost to luck. Shame."

In the third and fourth place final, the Netherlands defeated Brazil 3-0.

In this game, Van Gaal fielded all substitute players.

For an insignificant game, Van Gaal asked everyone to go on the field to feel the atmosphere of the game.

In the end, the pressure-free Dutch team played one of the best games since the start of the tournament.

The course of the game was even better than the 5-1 victory over Spain.

Despite the victory, the game didn't mean much.

The Netherlands' World Cup journey has also come to an end.

Van Gaal didn't go to watch the final because he was not in the mood.

He planned to return directly to Manchester the next day.

But unexpectedly, he met an unexpected person on the plane.

"Hello, Coach Van Gaal, I didn't expect to meet you here."
