Chapter 71

  This game was held at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City Club kindly gave Leicester City several nice private rooms.

  From this point of view, Manchester City was still very considerate.

  In addition to the private room for Leicester City's senior executives, there is another private room reserved for the players.

  Mainly for the players who did not make the 18-man roster, Pearson also asked them to come here to feel the atmosphere of the Premier League.

  And on the far right, there was a strange face sitting there.

  The club even sent a physical trainer to accompany him.

  It seems that he should be a more important person.

  This man looks to be in his early twenties, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and has a strong body. Thick hair, a beard, and an expression that seems a little arrogant. He doesn't look easy to approach.

  He didn't talk to other players in the private room, but occasionally talked to the physical trainer.

  "Riyad, what do you think of this game?"

  "I think it was a mistake for Leicester City to send all its main players to play in this game."

  "Oh?"

  "Because they don't have the strength to beat Manchester City, there is no need to waste time in the cup."

  "So you think the team should go all out to advance to the Premier League?"

  "That's right, there is no big highlight in Leicester City right now, and it is definitely not smart to be distracted by multiple fronts."

  The physical trainer curled his lips.

  Pearson, is this the person you like?

  I don't think he is smart enough.

  In the first half of the game, Leicester City was beaten, and the young man shook his head again and again.

  "The whole team lacks offensive coordination."

  "The technical level is too poor."

  "There is no desire to win."

  "There are no star players."

  He kept talking, and the physical trainer next to him was getting annoyed.

  If Pearson hadn't told him to fight for this young man, He would have ignored him a long time ago.

  He's arrogance seems off the charts

  Isn't he just a rotational player in the French second-tier league?

  Do he really think you are a talented player in the top five leagues?

  Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

  At the end of the first half, the young man shook his head: "If it weren't for politeness, I really want to leave now."

  Fitness coach: "Haha."

  Young man: "I really feel...."

  He didn't say anything.

  What he actually wanted to say was that he really felt that he was not suitable for Leicester City.

  What future is there with such a group of rookie teammates?

  Fortunately, he came to investigate before joining, otherwise he would have been fooled by the video recording of the goal highlights sent by Pearson.

  During the halftime break, the young man played with his mobile phone and looked at the information of several other teams interested in him.

  He must leave this winter to see where he would be more suitable.

  Anyway, it would not be Leicester City.

  The second half of the game started again. Leicester City got a little better, but there was still no qualitative change.

  Until Xia Xing started to perform.

  After Nasri's rainbow flick was intercepted, Xia Xing accelerated with the ball.

  Pass, pass, pass! Pass! Shoot!

  He went past four people in a row and successfully scored!

  1 to 3!

  At this time, the young man sat up straight from his chair, his eyes widened and he looked at the pitch, looking at the Leicester City player with an oriental face.

  "His name is Xia?"

  "Well, he is a player we loaned from Manchester United."

  The physical trainer talked about Xia Xing's story, including his background, why he came to Leicester City, and some of his experiences in Leicester City.

  The young man listened carefully, and after listening to all this, he nodded: "He is good, I like him."

  "Well, he is an important offensive player in our team now."   

  "He is not only an important offensive player, but also the absolute offensive core of your team now."

  The young man's eyes have been on Xia Xing.

  "His skills are excellent, but why did he keep defending in the first half?"

  "Maybe it was Coach Pearson's arrangement."

  "Pearson's arrangement is unreasonable."

  "..."

  The physical trainer curled his lips.

  Pearson, you think he is good, but he thinks you are not smart enough and that your tactical arrangement is unreasonable.

  The young man pointed at Xia Xing on the field: "I have a hunch that he can still create scoring opportunities."

  Sure enough, it was as he said.

  In the 72nd minute of the game, Xia Xing made a wonderful assist on the wing to help Vardy score.

  This time, the young man smiled and applauded: "Such teammates are worthy of me."

  The physical trainer wanted to refute something, but held back.

  Although the young man didn't say much in this game, his occasional predictions and comments on the field showed his true ability.

  It is obvious that he has a talent for understanding football, even better than him as a coach.

  If he has enough room to play and get some top league experience, maybe he will become a big star.

  As time goes on, the young man watched the game with interest.

  "If Manchester City keeps playing like this, they might lose."

  "It's mainly because Nasri left the field due to injury and Manchester City was one man short, so they showed their disadvantage."

  "Man, that's just one aspect. Leicester City's momentum has risen. That's right. No matter if it's Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern in front of them, what's so great about them? Just do it!"

  "..."

  The fitness coach shrugged.

  This young man is quite passionate.

  In the last period of the game, Leicester City also changed the positions of three people.

  Pearson adjusted the midfield players.

  The young man nodded again: "That's right. After all, we still have a chance now, so we should attack fiercely. This Pearson is still a bit good."

  Fitness coach: "I thank you for him..."

  In the second minute of injury time, Xia Xing broke through from the right again and made an accurate cross.

  However, Nugent, who came on as a substitute, hit the crossbar with his header and missed a good chance to equalize.

  The young man curled his lips: "This group of forwards are really not good. When I come to Leicester City, don't blame me for being too independent."

  The physical trainer was stunned: "Huh? So, you are..."

  The young man smiled slightly: "I have decided - I want to join Leicester City!"

  Physical trainer: "Okay!"

  The young man: "Man, be happy, I joinned Leicester City, which proves that Leicester City will definitely be promoted to the Premier League this season!"

  Looking at the proud expression of the young man, the physical trainer suddenly felt a little relieved.

  He is not young anymore, and has been in Leicester City for more than ten years.

  The team's desire to play in the Premier League is also his lifelong wish.

  Although this young man is a little arrogant and a little wild, he is talented enough and has enough confidence.

  This state of self-confidence is what Leicester City needs now!

  And with such a sentence, his mission today is completely completed.

  He smiled and stretched out his hand: "Young man, welcome to Leicester City, you will be proud you came to Leicester City!"

  The young man also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Man, I believe you will soon understand that you will be proud of me coming to Leicester City!"
