Chapter 0682, Goodbye, Chairman

Dybala's brace helped Juve overtake the game.

Until the end of the game, although the two sides continued to attack fiercely, they could not continue to score goals.

In the end, Manchester United lost 2-3 at home to Juventus, widening the gap with Juventus at the top of the table.

With one win, one draw and one loss, Manchester United's Champions League group stage journey this season is difficult and dangerous.

When he left Old Trafford, the home fans once again gave Ronaldo a round of applause, which made Ronaldo's eyes well.

Xia Xing patted him on the shoulder and pointed to his No. 7 jersey handed to Ronaldo.

"Okay, you come back, I'll give it back to you on the 7th, haha."

Maybe it's a joke, or maybe it's true.

Ronaldo looked at Xia Xing in front of him, nodded slightly, applauded and thanked the fans, and turned to leave.

Looking at Ronaldo in front of him, Xia Xing suddenly felt envious.

If you leave Manchester United one day and come back, you should have this kind of treatment, right?

Think about the overwhelming applause every time I return to King Power Stadium, probably like this.

Speaking of the King Power Stadium, Xia Xing suddenly had a trace of heart palpitations for some reason.

It's as if something bad is happening.

Three days later, that hunch came true.

On October 27, 2018, a piece of news shocked the international football world.

Just after Leicester City's 1-1 draw with West Ham in the Premier League, the helicopter in which Leicester City boss Vichai was travelling crashed a few hundred meters from the King Power Stadium!

Vichai was killed!

The sound of a helicopter crash could even be heard on the BBC's game broadcast, while Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who left the pitch late to go home, even witnessed the crash.

The preliminary investigation should be the accidental tragedy caused by the failure of the helicopter.

But no matter what, Vichai left this world forever, which is a cruel fact that cannot be changed.

Outside the King Power Stadium, a memorial corner spontaneously created by fans has quietly emerged.

Vichai's large color photo leaned against the stone steps, and in front of him were flowers, jerseys, and scarves sent by countless fans.

From morning to night, countless fans have come here to pay their respects and forever miss the owner who brought miracles to Leicester City.

For Leicester City, Vichai is everything to them.

Although there are five crowns, there is Leicester Miracle Night, there is the Golden Ball Mr. Xia Xing who came out of the Foxes, there is the best back in the world, there is N'Golo Kante, there is civilian miracle striker Vardy, and there is winger Riyad Mahrez......

However, in the history of this team, Wichai will always be the greatest member, always.

The old man, who just turned 61 this year, regards Leicester City as his favourite.

Since buying the team, he has helped the team inject money and bring great vitality to the team.

And the team has also climbed up step by step to the top.

In the end, the five-time crown honor made the greatest "Leicester miracle" in international football.

There's no one in this club who doesn't like him.

Following the confirmation of Vichai's death, countless Leicester City players took to social media to express their condolences.

Striker Jamie Vardy: "I can't find the right words, but for me you are a legend and the soul of Leicester City. Thank you for all you have done for me, my family and our club, I will miss you, rest in peace. ”

Defensive stalwart Harry Maguire: "Words can't describe how I feel, a truly great, kind, lovely person who will always be missed by everyone. I will never forget the chairman's support, not only when I was playing for Leicester City, but also when I was playing in the World Cup. ”

Captain Wes Morgan: "It was heartbreaking, devastating, he was loved, adored, and respected by all of us. My remembrance and prayers. ”

Midfielder James Maddison: "Life isn't always fair, and such a wonderful person just left us. ”

Genius Ben Chilwell: "He's got us together and we're going to try to comfort him. ”

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel wrote a long letter of remembrance, which was deeply moving.

"We are all well aware of how much you and your family have invested in this team. But you're doing so much more than that.

"It's not just the club that you care about, you care about the whole society.

"You have made a huge contribution to Leicestershire's medical and philanthropic causes.

"And I have always seen you as my guide, my father, one of the most important people in my life.

"You changed football, forever!

"You gave everybody hope, you told themβ€”

"Not just our fans, but people in any sporting event around the world:

"The impossible is possible!

"You made my dream come true.

To my heartbreak, when I warmed up early and walked into the locker room,

"But I can't see you anymore, I can't talk to you as I always do.

"And you can't laugh with other players anymore and pass on your smile and enthusiasm to us.

"I am so honored to have been a part of your life."

Because of the accident, even the Carabao Cup match between Leicester City and Southampton was postponed a few days later.

Battered players will receive psychological treatment to heal their injuries.

The day after learning of Vichai's death, Xia Xing asked Mourinho for leave and drove to Leicester City.

He was accompanied by his friend Mahrez.

On the way to Leicester City, the two barely talked.

The silence in the car is stressful.

And Xia Xing looked sideways, and Mahrez had been gently wiping away tears.

Xia Xing patted him on the shoulder.

At this time, Mahrez slowly spoke.

"Xia, although we have experienced a wonderful season for the Leicester Miracle together,

"Although we have all left Leicester City,

"But at this moment I suddenly felt an indescribable guilt.

"After you and N'Golo Kante left, Leicester City were in trouble,

"It's impossible to get back into the top four, let alone fight for the title again.

"Then Drinkwater left, and we were even relegated the following season.

"I wanted to leave too, but Vichai left me,

"He asked me to help the team, and I said yes and stayed.

"But seeing you all win the championship, I can't stay any longer,

"I ended up leaving Leicester this summer.

"In order to help me get better conditions, my transfer fees have been lowered a lot.

"You know, many teams have even made me offers of more than 80 million.

"In the end, Vichai still made me choose the Manchester City I wanted to go to.

"He'd rather have a smaller transfer fee and give me an ideal future.

"On the last day before I left, after signing the paper, he personally escorted me out of the club.

"To this day, I can't forget the inseparable look in his eyes."

"Xia, that miracle season we're all still around,

"I really miss it now......" (end of chapter)
