It used up a precious highlight card, but it was worth it.

Through this stunning performance, Rossi has received a different look from Craig.

A single goal, a striker can play.

But the essence before the goal is the "scorpion tail swinging" style passing, which plays the entire Wolves defense.

If it were to be played in any top flight, it would be a good top 10 goal.

After the game, Craig and the U21 manager had a long and enthusiastic discussion, and his eyes looked at Rossi from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Is Mr. Shakespeare looking at me?"

Cornell Glenn, who scored the only goal of the game, couldn't hide his excitement on his face, and grabbed Rossi's arm like a little daughter-in-law.

He is quite confident in his pace, even faster than Riyad Mahrez, who has been promoted to the first team.

Rosie picked him away in disgust and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you performed the best today." ”

But in football, it's useless to be fast, you have to know how to change the rhythm of the ball, otherwise Bolt can also play.

The reason why Glenn has been kept in the echelon is because there is only speed.

Craig spoke a few words to the Under-21 manager before heading towards the team's lounge.

Glenn was even more excited, and with excitement his toes gathered nervously, he whispered, "Mr. Shakespeare must have come to congratulate me on my goal, and then invited me to the first team." ”

Rosie looked at the straightforward teenager and thought to himself that it was rare to be narcissistic to such an extent.

"Congratulations, boys, on winning the game."

Craig's smile is very different from the serious Pearson, which has made many young players like the assistant coach.

He shook hands with the players one by one, and when he waited for Cornell Glenn, he praised: "Today's game was still the same as it was, and the goals were wonderful. ”

Glenn's spirit was shaken, and it was not difficult to hear from Craig's words, he often observed himself.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Shakespeare. ”

Glenn was so nervous that he was already stammering.

The echelon is the cradle of cultivating talents for the club, and it is not extravagant to expect a brilliant 92 class like Manchester United's youth team, only one or two talents need to be produced, even if it has been successful.

Especially for a team like Leicester City, the ability to promote players from the academy can save the club money and quickly integrate into the team's tactical system.

He also watched the weekend's game and learned that Jamie Vardy was injured and that the team was in desperate need of talent up front for the upcoming games.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Craig patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've been observing you for a long time, work hard, and the future is limitless." ”

Is this going to be lucky?

"I will."

Craig took his eyes off him and turned to Rossi, curious.

Two games, two assists, this is the report card handed over by Rossi as a center forward.

Most importantly, he was amazed by the change in Rossi's style of play.

When Rousey was recruited to the first team, he was a center forward who attacked the city.

In the Under-21 league, players are not yet fully developed, and a body like Rossi's is common among young players.

But when you get to the Championship, the intensity of the confrontation goes up more than a notch, and you have to face tall defenders who are several times stronger.

In the forbidden area where every inch of land is contested, the thin body is obviously not suitable.

Otherwise, Vardy's sudden injury would have given Rossi no chance to play.

However, in the game, Rossi did not fight with the opposing defender, but used his foot skills to complete the task of the center.

It's a very smart way to play.

"Luo, the game is over, I'll take you, let's go together."

Being invited by the assistant coach of the first team made the whole team look incredulous, and even revealed a hint of jealousy.

Cornell Glenn, who was still intoxicated just now, suddenly froze with a smile.

This...... Actually...... No...... I?

Rosie nodded, changed into a clean set of clothes in the locker room, and got into Craig's car.

In fact, he didn't sweat much, just politely.

"I'm just a little hungry, so I'll invite you to dinner."

While the two were waiting for the traffic light, Craig looked at his watch and extended an invitation to Rossi.

Rossi knew in her heart that she had something to say.

Anyway, it's free food, and if you don't eat it for nothing, you agreed.

Dinner was a nice restaurant and Rossi asked for a macaroni with cheese, fish and chips, burger and steak.

It's hard to eat a big meal like this.

"You don't usually eat at a restaurant like this, do you?" Craig squinted his eyes and smiled.

There are many players in the U21 team who work part-time like Rossi to earn living expenses.

Not just in Leicester, but also in the youth ranks of other teams, especially in the lower leagues, this is not unusual.

After all, there are not many teams with strong capital to improve the conditions of young players, and it costs a lot of money to run youth training.

Vardy, one of the main players of the team, is still playing in an amateur team at the age of 24, football is not his main business, and he usually has to work in factories to earn living expenses.

It wasn't until he moved from Felitwood to Leicester City for 1.2 million euros that he officially became a professional footballer.

Rossi certainly knew what the smiling assistant coach wanted to say to him.

"Thank you very much for dinner, Mr. Shakespeare."

A decent thanks, deliberately revealing a little excitement.

In Craig's view, encouragement for young players is nothing more than material encouragement.

The best way to get them out of the current situation is to get them out of the situation.

Of course, Rossi knew his intentions, but he couldn't show too much excitement, so it was easy to fall into the "trap" set by the other party.

"Luo, you did a perfect job today, and I think Mr. Pearson will be very happy to see it. As long as you do well in the echelon, you will have a chance to be promoted to the first team next season. ”

Next season?

Does that mean that you don't have a chance for the rest of the season?

Rossi doesn't want to continue like this, his ability stats are low, how can he improve if he doesn't have enough starts?

Instead of sitting on the bench for a long time, it is better to go directly on loan, or go to another team to seek development.

But he also knows that the team's forward personnel are seriously bloated, and it is the critical time to win the championship, and the head coach will definitely not reuse himself.

When the team competes in the Premier League next season, the club will definitely spend a lot of money to bring in players to strengthen the forward line

For a young player like himself, there is no decision on whether to leave or stay.

How long will it take?

That's why Craig invited Rosie to dinner.

Painting cakes seems to be reused, but in fact they are used.

The reason why you work hard and enjoy it is for an illusory first-team spot.

"Thank you very much, I'll try."

And Rossi's attitude has always been calm and calm, without too much excitement, which makes Craig a little incomprehensible.

is so calm, is there already a way out?

Now that the network is developed, Rossi's performance in the Championship will immediately attract the attention of scouts from other teams.

And today's performance in the game is also amazing enough, if he doesn't get a chance in the team and his contract is ready to expire, he will definitely move to another team.

'Taylor and Kevin are old, we are a Premier League team next season and we need fresh blood like you.

The 33-year-old Tyler Fletcher is already struggling to play, while the 40-year-old Kevin Phillips will retire this summer, which is undoubtedly giving the youngster a chance to compete.

Rossi is also aware of the situation of the team, and it will be a difficult task to establish himself in his first season in the Premier League.

The team's financial situation does not allow for the purchase of many talented players, and they have to be promoted from the academy.

But who knows what the future holds?

At least one thing is certain, the assistant coach has his eye on himself, at least for now, otherwise he wouldn't have spent his tongue here to paint pie.

Seeing that Rossi didn't say anything, Craig continued: "We have a lot of players who are playing in the Premier League for the first time, and that's how lucky it is. ”

"Mahrez, who was on the same team as you, will be the main player next season. That's what the manager said. ”

In the last sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice, which seemed very mysterious.

The stage of the top league is the dream of every player, and he doesn't believe that Rossi is not impressed.

And to use Mahrez as a living example, this is where all the Under-21 players can relate to it.

Rosie was indeed moved, but he still couldn't show it, he didn't want the other party to know what was in his heart.

That's the initiative.

"I wish I was one of the lucky ones."

Rosie has always spoken in a calm tone, and he is neither humble nor arrogant about the interests thrown by Craig, so that he can't find a breakthrough at all.

I thought that this meal, the young man in front of him would be grateful and swear allegiance.

But it is not difficult to see from the current few sentences that Rossi is not very concerned about the conditions he throws out, and is even a little cold.

As a player playing in the Under-21 league, it's obviously very abnormal.

If it was usual, he would have finished the meal as soon as possible and went straight home.

But Rossi's performance made him feel that the young man in front of him must have some plans.

And he had a faint feeling that he was being led by the nose during this conversation.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

What bad intentions can a 20-year-old have in mind?

"Thank you, Mr. Shakespeare, for having me. It's not early, I'm going to go back early, and there's something else going on tomorrow. ”

Craig was stunned, the hole cards were all gone, why did this kid still look like this.

Something else?

A bad thought arises spontaneously.

It's not good, there must be a team that touches this kid, and he can't just be poached.
