Chapter 167: Pixie's Gamble
On Monday, Lyrcher City held a pre-season press conference in the presence of new manager Claudio Ranieri.
Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, Lyicester City's two blockbuster news in the summer made the outside media not optimistic about their journey in the new season.
In five friendly matches, although the Lyicester City team won 4 wins and 1 draw, the team did not have a fixed start, and the play was chaotic, and the media questioned the ability of the Italian coach.
"Mr. Ranieri, congratulations on your return to the Premier League. It's been three weeks since you took over the team, what is your assessment of Lyicester City? ”
Ranieri smiled and said, "Great! ”
"And what are your goals for the new season?"
Ranieri said: "My task is to save the team from relegation. ”
Then he stretched out four fingers and said slowly: "I think we can get 40 points and we can reach the goal of relegation." ”
"40 points?" The reporter who asked the question was a little surprised, and there was even a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"Mr. Coach, the team created a relegation miracle last season and only scored 41 points, do you want to create a miracle this season?"
Ranieri shook his finger and said, "No, not everyone can do miracles. I just want to play every game and get 40 points for the team. ”
In the face of the old coach's low profile, the media will only think that he can only survive by "repairing" the lineup.
It is now unanimously agreed that Lyrcester City will be the bottom team in the league and Claudio Ranieri will be the first manager to be sacked in the new season.
"If it were you, I personally don't think it's hard to score 40 points."
After the media asked the question finished speaking, they sat down.
Everyone present knew in their hearts that this sentence was ironic.
Another meaning of "tinker" is also ironic that Ranieri will only make up for it, not use people.
This is evident from the fact that he has never won a top-flight title in his coaching career.
"You announced the first-team squad, which retains a lot of the main players from last season, what do you think about the new and old players?"
Ranieri said: "Obviously, it will be a little strange at the beginning, and it can be seen from these friendly matches that the tacit understanding needs to be cultivated. They're all professional players and I'm sure they can do well. ”
"This summer, Rossi renewed his contract with the team. What are your expectations for him in the upcoming season? ”
Ranieri shrugged and said, "Ronaldo's performance has always been world-class. He scored eight goals in just a dozen games last season. He will be in contention for the Golden Boot this season. ”
"What do you mean, that Rocan will compete with Sergio Aguero and Kane for the Golden Boot?"
Ranieri said without thinking: "Why not? If Ronaldo doesn't finish in the top five scorers this season, I'll tear up my coaching card. ”
Ahh
Rosie suddenly felt a chill and sneezed three times in a row.
"Luo, what's wrong, I didn't cover the quilt last night?"
In Pixie's villa, Rosie rubbed her nose and said, "I don't know, I suddenly feel cold." ”
After drinking a large glass of warm water, Pixie said with some loss: "Luo, you will be back in two days, accompany me to the concert tomorrow night." ”
At the weekend, the new Premier League season is about to kick off and Rossi must be back by Friday.
Attending concerts isn't a problem, but with Pixie's current popularity, it's inevitable that she will be the focus of the camera and the subject of interviews.
Seeing that Rosie was a little hesitant, Pixie was a little angry and said: "When you were playing, you confessed to me in front of so many people, and I didn't see you being a little embarrassed." ”
Rosie smiled dumbly, not afraid of tens of thousands of people, but also afraid of a few media?
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight."
Pixie clapped her hands happily and said, "That's settled." ”
She glanced at Rosie and said, "However, you have to change into formal clothes and dress handsome." ”
In the afternoon, the clothes were delivered, and Pixie had already taken his measurements.
"Wow, it's pretty cool to clean up." Pixie's eyes lit up and said, "Although you were attractive when you were exercising, you are very attractive now, and I don't dare to take you out." ”
Rosie undressed and said, "That's the best, I'll watch it live at home." ”
"You try!" Pixie pounced on him, suddenly blushing a little, "Luo, your chest muscles seem to be ...... again And a lot stronger......"
During the team's pre-match training, the trainer deliberately allowed Rossi to gain more muscle to ensure that he could adapt to the intensity of the Premier League without affecting his flexibility.
Now in his stats, he is 65→70 strong and 65→70 stamina.
The concert starts at eight o'clock on Wednesday night, but from the afternoon, Pixie prepares.
So, Rossi played a game of soccer outside the dressing room for two hours.
"Luo!"
The curtain of the dressing room was opened, and Pixie, dressed in a burgundy deep V dress, highlighted all the places that should be highlighted.
Blonde hair, elegant makeup, white neck, and a floral diamond necklace that sparkled with silver light could not take the light from her eyes.
“wow…”
Rosie couldn't help but let out a wave of exclamation.
With a shy smile, Pixie straightened her chest, took Rossi's hand, and said proudly, "You just said I was beautiful!" ”
"Not really!" Rosie doesn't admit it.
"Yes, you said it indirectly!" Pixie was unwavering.
Wigmore Hall, located at 36 Wigmore Street in London, welcomes the send-off.
As a world-renowned concert hall, it is known for its special "shoebox" shaped roof design.
This concert hall, which is loved by many musicians, has excellent acoustics and a small audience capacity, making it the perfect place to enjoy a comfortable chamber music and piano recital.
Although Pixie is a pop singer, she has a strong interest in classical, jazz and other music.
In this concert, she will also play a song and participate in audience voting.
Pixie was third in the show, playing Beethoven's "Moonlight."
Having been trained in classical music in Italy since childhood, she played with confidence and emotion, and the applause lasted for a long time when it was over.
"Great!"
After the performance, Rosie whispered a compliment.
The concert ended with Pixie's performance finishing third.
As a non-professional, this ranking is already remarkable.
Although the relationship between the two has long been exposed, the two have never appeared in public.
The two attended the concert together, which instantly attracted the attention of the media.
After the awards, there was an interview with the media, and after some hyped polite remarks, the media quickly changed the subject.
"Hello Rowe, the new season is ready to start, the outside world has always thought that several teams in London will sign you, but in fact you are staying at Lyicester City, what do you think about that?"
The outlet was very direct about Rossi, with the implication that several teams in London did not look down on him.
Pixie is a popular British singer, and Rossi is just a young player who has just debuted, and many media have difficulty understanding the relationship between the two.
Pixie heard what they meant and was about to get angry, but Rosie gently patted the back of her hand to calm her down.
"I don't know who you call the London team. But each club has its own recruitment plan, and the best players are not necessarily the most suitable. ”
"It's like music, it's all the same notes, and you can arrange and combine them into a lot of beautiful music, instead of the note being good, you just mix it all together."
Pixie has a tsundere expression, and her boyfriend's answer is too perfect.
But the media still didn't give up, saying: "Luo, then you mean that Lyster City will leave you behind, that is, a team that can compete with strong teams and compete for the championship?" ”
"Why not?" Pixie couldn't tolerate it anymore, it was obvious that she was finding fault.
Many of the media in the audience laughed.
Coming to the city to win the title is the biggest joke in football today.
They were fighting for relegation last season and want to win the title this season?
"Miss Lott, you probably don't know." With a hint of sarcasm, a reporter said: "Among the odds given by the bookmaker for the winner, do you know what the odds are for Lycester City?" ”
Pixie didn't pay attention to the odds and shook her head.
"It's 1:5000!" The reporter laughed, "Do you know the concept? It is equivalent to the World Cup being held in Antarctica. ”
For a while, Pixie was a little embarrassed, she knew that it would be difficult to win football championships, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
But the words have already been spoken, and they can't take it back, so they have to continue strongly: "It's not 1:5000, I'll buy it tomorrow, and buying Lester City will be the champion." ”
Pixie held out five fingers and said, "I'll buy fifty thousand pounds." ”
Rosie's eyes widened as she looked at Pixie incredulously.
"Law is my boyfriend, I support him with 50,000 pounds, what's wrong?"
Pixie twisted her head and pulled Rossi out of the crowd of the media.
