On May 28, the day before the Champions League final, Leicester's focus was not on the pitch, but in the hospital.

Ranieri once again handed over the team's training to Shakespeare, and he personally took Xia Xing to the hospital to check the injury.

On the way there, the expert of the team medical team whispered to him: "Xia's leg injury has really recovered, this is a medical miracle." If it weren't for the fact that the game is important now, I would have liked to bring him back to Leicester and study it. ”

Ranieri frowned: "Your medical equipment is not perfect, will the inspection results be biased?" ”

The expert from the medical team did not speak, but pointed to the hospital in front of him.

Let's see the results.

And the end result surprised Ranieri even more.

Pretty healthy!

The previous injuries and illnesses are all as if they never happened!

Even the attending physician a few days ago was sweating a little.

Could it have been misdiagnosed?

It shouldn't be......

In the end, under the eyes and expressions of countless doubts, Xia Xing was surrounded by the stars and returned to the hotel.

He didn't go to the pitch to warm up, Ranieri wouldn't let him.

Even though various medical images proved that Xia Xing had recovered, he did not have enough training with the ball and could not participate in the game.

But Xia Xing's eyes were firm, looking at Ranieri in front of him.

This made Ranieri really indecisive.

Shakespeare took advantage of Xia Xing's lack of sight, waved his hand and shook his head at Ranieri, signaling him to refuse.

However, in the end, Ranieri agreed.

It's not the starting line-up, though, it's the bench list.

Xia Xing went back to the room to rest satisfied.

Closing the door to the tactical training room, Shakespeare was a little disapproving: "Old man, we really shouldn't let Xia play." ”

Ranieri shrugged: "I just put him on the bench and didn't let him play. ”

"But this ......"

"If you think about it, wasting a substitute slot gives the team more energy and a glimmer of hope, isn't that good?"

"Oh!"

Everyone understood.

It seems that Ranieri did not intend to let Xia Xing play.

Indeed, at this stage of the team's back, tell them to hold on, it is possible to work wonders.

It's definitely a great spiritual boost!

Even if Xia Xing fails to appear in the end, this effect is enough!

On the evening of May 29, the lights were bright outside the San Siro Stadium.

In fact, for many fans, they don't think this is the San Siro, because this is their Meazza.

The two Milan teams share the same stadium, and even if it is an away match, fans on both sides are accustomed to taking a stand outside the stadium.

Leicester City's buses drove into the stadium, and countless fans applauded and cheered.

Most of them are Milan fans.

As a dark horse team, it is respectable enough to be able to come here.

There are even more fans supporting Leicester City today than Real Madrid.

After all, on the football field, most neutral fans still like to watch the show of the weak defeating the strong.

And when the Leicester players left the dressing room and ran onto the pitch, they were greeted with even louder applause.

Especially Xia Xing.

In the past few days, Xia Xing's injury has been known to the whole world.

And Xia Xing finally entered the squad, and the news of playing with injuries was known to the whole world.

This desperate ambition deserves everyone's respect.

Five minutes later, the Real Madrid soldiers arrived.

On the sidelines, Ranieri met Zinedine Zidane.

When Ranieri dominated the Premier League, Zidane was still a player.

Time has passed, and Zidane has become the manager.

He even stood on the stage of the Champions League final with Ranieri.

"Hello, old man."

"Hello, young man."

"I didn't expect Leicester City to come here, your level of coaching is really world-class."

'I thought Real Madrid would come here and your coaching skills are great.

"Well, is Xia's injury healed? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to inquire, I just care. ”

'It's all right, you can play in the second half, no problem.'

"That's good, I still want to visit in the past two days, but I don't think it's appropriate, so I haven't passed."

"Thank you for your concern, I thank you for xia."

"Hopefully today we can give the fans a good game."

"Definitely!"

The coaches of the two teams chatted on the sidelines of the field, and the players on the field were also communicating and chatting in twos and threes.

Especially the Real Madrid players.

They watched Xia Xing curiously to see how the Leicester City's number one star was recovering.

"Looks like he's recovering well." Marcelo observed for a long time and came to a conclusion.

But Bale shook his head: "He didn't fully recover, and he was a little unstable when he had the ball just now. ”

Ronaldo disagreed: "I think he's recovering well. ”

Bale shrugged: "My experience with injuries tells me that he definitely hasn't fully recovered. ”

Real Madrid have no one to refute it.

Big brother, you're right.

When it comes to injuries, you're the most experienced at Real Madrid.

They were discussing, but Ronaldo didn't care so much.

He walked straight over and came to Xia Xing, near the middle circle.

"Hey, man, how's your injury?"

Xia Xing had just received a pass from Kante, and the stop looked a little unstable, but it also stopped.

Hearing someone behind him, he turned to look.

If someone else came to ask, Xia Xing might think about it more.

Like Pepe, Ramos, and the like.

But looking at Ronaldo's sincere eyes, Xia Xing understood him.

"I'm fine, no problem."

"That's good."

"Will you be a little disappointed?"

"I don't care about others, I'm happy anyway."

"Oh?"

'To win the best of Leicester and then win the Champions League is what I want to see the most.

Looking at Ronaldo's firm eyes, Xia Xing nodded.

The two of them high-fived hard!

Have a good kick and go home with the championship trophy in hand!

At the end of more than half an hour of warm-up, both sides returned to the locker room.

There are no special arrangements on Leicester's side, as the main squad has been finalized in advance.

The only change is that Xia Xing entered the substitute list, but it has nothing to do with the first half.

And in Real Madrid's dressing room, Zidane had a serious expression.

He had just patiently listened to the players.

Especially about the analysis of Xia Xing's injury.

According to the players' descriptions and his own observations, he felt that Xia Xing's recovery from his injury was good.

Although there are still some small movements that are not so smooth, they are definitely at 80% level.

Even so, it is extremely threatening.

I thought it was a sure game, but now there are variables.

Looking at the players, Zidane's voice was calm, but his tone was firm.

"Before this fight, I ask you to play steady.

"After all, without Xia, Leicester City will definitely play defensive counter-attacks.

'We have to make sure we don't concede a goal and then wait for the opportunity to score.

"But my mind has changed now,

"We have to assume that Xia will come off the bench in the second half,

"Leicester City's tactics will definitely change dramatically.

"We're going to be under more pressure too,

"Therefore I ask you,

"Give it your all in the first half and step up the attack!

"Fight for the first half to seal the win!

"This game is a quick one!"
