Chapter 0021, Hello, Chairman
Walking off the court, Xia Xing was still thinking about the words of the black young player just now.
"Maybe one day, we'll meet on a bigger stage."
Will it?
Hard.
But, definitely!
Xia Xing's eyes were like torches, and he turned his head to look at the green field again.
It seems that you can still see the figure of yourself just now.
On the side of the court, Shakespeare warmly embraced the summer walk.
"Xia, you did a great job today!"
"Thank you."
The trio also came up to hug Xia Xing.
"Boy, you're so good, your skills are top-notch!"
"I'll just say, you're definitely better than that guy James."
"Hey, hey, don't hold one and step on the other!"
The three of them talked and laughed.
Drinkwater muttered: "We didn't lose unjustly in this game, Monaco is so strong, I think a little grinding for two seasons, they can even get into the Champions League semi-finals or something." ”
James agreed: "The first-team players are worth hundreds of millions, which is amazing. ”
Delaette was apprehensive: "Not to mention the first-team members, even the young players who came off the bench were very talented. Those two strikers, called Mbappe and Martial, really need speed and speed, technology and skill; There is also the Portuguese midfielder named Silva, who is also super strong. ”
Xia Xing turned his head again to look not far away, where the three young Monaco players were chatting lightly and had already entered the locker room.
Geniuses, we will meet again one day!
Four days later, on 31 July, Leicester City played their third warm-up game of the pre-season.
And the last one.
Three days later, the 2013-2014 Championship season will kick off.
This is the last mock test before the official exam.
The last opponent is weak, it is Northampton, also from League Two, and even weaker than York City.
They even came close to being relegated to League League 3 last season.
Plzeň's purpose in this game was clear, to let the players find confidence before the start of the game and score a few more goals.
But unexpectedly, the process made Pearson very unhappy.
Leicester City were at their best, but at the end of the first half, the score was just 1-0.
And the only goal was a mistake by the opposing defender, who was stolen by Jamie Vardy.
Looking at Leicester City alone, there are many chances, but the ability to score goals is too poor.
At the start of the second half, Pearson replaced most of his players directly.
Young striker Chris Wood, in particular, has been poor in all three games.
A natural attacker, Pearson has high hopes for Chris Wood.
After he moved to Leicester City six months ago in the winter, Pearson nurtured him carefully.
I wanted to straighten him right this season, but the poor performance in the friendly match disappointed Pearson.
This young man, let's hone and hone on the bench again.
At the start of the second half, last season's starting striker duo of Nugent and Conokette came off the bench.
But the duo's performance could not please Pearson either.
In the 70th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the opportunity to come on as a substitute again.
As soon as he came on the field, he almost blasted the goal away with a wonderful long-range shot.
A one-two on the wing two minutes later almost led to Andy King's goal.
Shakespeare clapped incessantly on the sidelines, encouraging Xia Xing.
It wasn't until the 86th minute of the game that Leicester City finally extended the score.
This time it was a chance created by the left wing!
Xia Xing took the ball on the left side, accelerated with the ball, and rushed to the opponent's strong back!
But at the moment when his body was about to collide, Xia Xing suddenly dodged away!
The opponent's back is about to break the ball with his foot, but the ball is gone!
And not at the foot of Xia Xing!
The moment Xia Xing approached the defender, he had already knocked the ball behind him!
Left-back Draete understands and picks up a pass over the head of the defender!
Xia Xing received the ball steadily!
This collaboration is wonderful!
The two defenders on the opposite side were caught between them, and there were not many opportunities to pass the ball forward.
Xia Xing's calm choice is knocked horizontally!
Drinkwater plugged in the back row, took two steps after receiving the ball, and shot directly with his feet!
A powerful long-range shot that hits the net!
The ball is in!
2 to 0!
Leicester City have finally scored again!
The three former United players hugged each other and their team-mates came forward to celebrate.
Although it was only a friendly goal, it was not easy for this game.
The coaching staff on the sidelines also applauded the goal.
Shakespeare sighed: "Sure enough, they have gone through Manchester United's youth training, and these former Manchester United players have a special tacit understanding. Especially Xia, even if he has only played in Manchester United's youth team for more than a month, he has a lot of shadows of the Red Devils, which can be regarded as his advantage. ”
However, Pearson was expressionless and did not show any joy or anger.
A few minutes later, the referee's whistle blew and the game was over.
This was supposed to be a big win, but in the end it only got a small 2-0 victory.
The future of Leicester City in the new season is really hard to say.
Despite this, the fans still gave the team the greatest encouragement.
The Stadium of King Power thundered with applause and was dedicated to their heroes.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman!"
A few people walked out of the players' tunnel, and the coaching staff around them greeted them respectfully.
This is Leicester City's chairman, Vichai, surrounded by his family and friends.
As the chairman of Leicester City, Vichai can win the respect of the club, not because of who he is, but because of who he is and how sincere he is to Leicester City.
In the club, he is very kind to everyone, and it has to do with his character.
In the club's business activities, he never hesitated to invest, and managed professionally, and never interfered in the coaching of a team that he was not familiar with.
Pearson, who is usually serious and cold, smiled when he saw Vichai.
"Chairman."
"Nigel, the new season is about to start, how do you feel?"
"I'm confident that I'll succeed!"
"Haha, good, good."
The two exchanged a few words, and Vichai also came to the players, greeted them with concern, and chatted a few words.
When he came to Xia Xing, he had obviously more time to stop.
"Xia Xing, hello."
This sentence is spoken in Mandarin.
Hearing his native language in a foreign country, Xia Xing felt very cordial.
"Hello Chairman."
"I heard that you grew up in China?"
"Yes, although I am a British citizen, I have been living in China since I was a child."
"I also have Chinese ancestry, so in this way, we can be regarded as half compatriots."
"It's my pleasure."
"I appreciate your skills and I'm sure you'll find your value and future at Leicester City, come on."
"Thank you!"
Vichai turned to leave, and the young man standing next to him also stepped forward to shake hands with Xia Xing with a smile.
"The chairman is my father, my name is Xu Shengyuan, it's a pleasure to meet you, Xia Xing. I have a hunch that we will become very good friends in the future. ”
