Chapter 0118, Hello, Van Gaal

The weather in Manchester is always like this, overcast.

Xia Xing didn't like this feeling very much.

Since he came to Manchester across the ocean, Xia Xing has completely understood.

Why did my mother like to stay in China so much at that time?

It's a thousand times stronger than here.

There is no affection for Manchester, but there is affection for Manchester United.

After all, my mother has been exposed to it for many years, and just listening to the familiar name, I also have a deep feeling.

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

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

The house was empty and lifeless.

At this moment, Xia Xing recalled the days of living at No. 17 in the dark blue villa area.

A strong sense of loneliness poured into my heart.

Forget it, let's look forward.

Grab a few casual bites at the fast-food restaurant downstairs and go home to clean up.

Seriously, cleaning your room is definitely a lot more tiring than playing football.

At night, lie in bed.

The room was quiet, and the sense of loneliness was even stronger.

Let's get down to business and distract ourselves.

Enter the "Virtual Arena" and play a game!

This night, Xia Xing slept in a daze, and at a certain moment he didn't even know where he was.

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

Whew......

Early the next morning, Xia Xing went to visit Sir Alex Ferguson with the gifts prepared in advance.

Sir Alex Ferguson's villa is on the outskirts, surrounded by greenery and exceptionally quiet.

Sir Alex Ferguson was overjoyed to learn of the arrival of Xia Xing.

β€œxia! 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 sighed with emotion.

"Xia, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a gifted young man.

"But I didn't expect you to progress so quickly.

'Playing in the professional league for one season, you're the best player in the Championship.

"And they also beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

"You know what, that shot of yours almost kicked my heart out.

"As much as I'm sad about Manchester United losing the title, I'm happy for your progress.

"You're great right now, amazing!

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

"Even if you don't have any Premier League experience at the moment,

"But you deserve a rotating spot,

"I believe it won't take a season to become the team's starter.

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

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

"Xia, the future is promising."

Listening to Ferguson's praise, Xia Xing's heart was happy.

Although he has received numerous accolades at Leicester City, he is still happy in the face of the old man's praise.

It's a good feeling to be praised by someone who leads the way in football.

Ferguson was in a good mood this morning, talking about his youth and talking about his past.

Xia Xing listened to it on the side, and he was also in a very good mood.

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

You know, even the biggest stars in international football may not get this kind of opportunity.

After saying goodbye to Alex Ferguson, he went to Manchester United in the afternoon.

After a year on loan, it's time to report back to the club.

Xia Xing was received by club staff to show recognition and respect for his year in the Championship.

It's just an ordinary middle-level manager of the sports department, and Xia Xing hasn't even met him.

This is a far cry from yesterday's farewell to all of Leicester's hierarchy.

How about next season?

The club staff did not give an answer.

Louis van Gaal has yet to officially arrive at Manchester United, and everything will have to be said after the World Cup.

Only when a new coach takes over can the fate of many people be decided.

Including summer trips, of course.

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

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

Especially when watching the game video to defend back, you can get a clearer insight into the players' running, passing and handling the ball.

This kind of improvement of God's perspective is a great benefit for Xia Xing's football road.

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

Get an up-close look at a World Cup.

In the passionate stadiums in Brazil, Xia Xing felt that it was too amazing.

In the last World Cup, Xia Xing was only a small role.

The family's money simply can't afford to go to South Africa to watch the World Cup.

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

And now, he has money.

Even some of the tickets are bought through scalpers, and it doesn't matter if the price increases.

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

This World Cup has seen countless classic games, countless classic moments.

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

Brazil, who were beaten 7-1 by Germany, lost face in front of the home fans.

Colombian talented midfielder James Rodriguez has shocked the world with his appearance.

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

This cup is a classic and impressive.

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

Because Louis van Gaal is their manager and the new manager of Manchester United.

A closer look at his style of play will be good for integrating into the style of play next season.

The Dutch team played well in this tournament, but a little bit of bad luck.

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 is over, and so is Louis van Gaal's career for the Dutch national team.

In the face of reporters' interviews, Van Gaal could not hide his disappointment.

'Our players were great, it's just a shame that we lost out to luck. Regretful. ”

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

In this game, Louis van Gaal fielded all substitutes.

For an inconsequential game, Louis van Gaal asked everyone to get on the pitch to get a feel for the game.

In the end, the Dutch team played one of their best games since the start of the tournament without pressure.

The course of the game even surpassed the 5-1 win over Spain.

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

The Netherlands' World Cup campaign is also over.

Van Gaal didn't go to the final, he wasn't in the mood.

He was ready to return directly to Manchester the next day.

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

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