After absorbing Henry's cards, Xia Xing became even more desperate.
In the following period, he spent all his training time accumulating hours on the Zidane card.
Seeing the progress bar moving forward, Xia Xing was full of expectations.
He trained and cooked every day, His life quite uneventful.
Finally, the day came for the players to return to the team.
At nine o'clock in the morning on July 15, the entire Leicester City first team appeared on field No. 1 of the Seagrave Training Center.
Xia Xing was the first to come, not only today, but he also showed up on time for training every morning for more than a month unshakably.
The second person to come was the team's top striker, fast forward Jamie Vardy.
"Xia, I'm so happy to see you! I have a hunch that we will become very good friends!"
Vardy seemed to have a natural affinity for his sunny and cheerful oriental face.
Xia Xing's hard work and grassroots status always remind Vardy of his own experience.
He also had not received top youth training since he was a child. Only he knows the hardships He has experienced along the way.
From the eighth tier of England all the way to Leicester City in the English Championship, Vardy has created a wonderful story for amateur players.
And now, the story continues.
The third person to come to the team is captain Wes Morgan.
He is a stern person. The first thing he said when he saw Xia Xing was: "Xia, your body is too weak. I hope you can strengthen your physical strength so that you can appear on the court wearing a Leicester City jersey. Come on , young man! "
In this team, Morgan, who is as strong as an ox, has extremely high prestige and status. He is the anchor of Leicester City.
Although he is strict, he is sincere and friendly to Xia Xing and is a trustworthy big brother.
The three players who then came to the training ground can be said to be Xia Xing's "mother's family".
De Laet, Matthew James, Drinkwater.
These three players are all current Leicester City starting players and are of good quality.
It is worth mentioning that they all transferred from Manchester United.
The three of them were very happy to see the little brother from Manchester United coming.
Drinkwater: "Xia, I've heard you're coming a long time ago. I saw your performance in that exhibition match. You're quite handsome, and your skillfullness is second only to me!"
Xia Xing: "This..."
De Laet: "That's right, we are in need of a good midfielder like you right now. Once you come, James can sit on the bench."
Matthew James: "Stop talking nonsense! Xia Xing will definitely defeat someone else, definitely not me! "
The three former Manchester United players have a very good relationship, and they love each other and fight each other all day long.
But not everyone is very friendly to Xia Xing.
As an ordinary player on loan, many people just nodded politely.
But for Xia Xing, this is secondary.
Only by improving his abilities as soon as possible and helping his teammates to the maximum extent can he gain the respect of the whole team.
Including the coach.
The whole team gathered, and Nigel Pearson showed up on time.
"Is anyone late today?"
Shakespeare counted the number of people: "No, everyone is here!"
"Okay! Then today's punishment of running laps will be waived. Start warming up!"
Drinkwater whispered to Xia Xing Said: "Pearson is super strict and has a strong sense of time. You must not fall into his hands."
"Understood." Xia Xing nodded.
Xia Xing has already experienced Pearson's harshness.
Not only was he harsh, he was also indifferent to himself.
But it doesn't matter, we'll see on the training ground!
Shakespeare whispered something in Pearson's ear. Pearson frowned, glanced at the team, and spoke a little reluctantly.
"By the way, let me tell you something. We have a new player on loan from Manchester United this season, named xia xing. I hope you all will get along well."
Xia Xing walked out of the crowd, and three former Manchester United teammates took the lead in applauding vigorously to express welcome.
Xia Xing wanted to say a word of thanks, but Pearson didn't give him a chance.
With a wave of his hand, the lap started!
Xia Xing silently retreated to the end of the group and ran laps with the large group.
After running for five laps, everyone was in good condition, and there was no physical strain after returning from vacation.
Pearson nodded.
It seems that the players still remember the painful lesson of failing to reach the Premier League last season and have not relaxed their management of their bodies.
"You are all in pretty good shape, a little better than I thought. Next, we will conduct passing and receiving training, and after 20 minutes, we will play a match!"
"OK!"
the players responded loudly.
After 20 minutes, the match began.
They were Still divided according to the main lineup and substitute lineup from last season.
Pearson called captain Morgan to his side: "When he is on the court, you must make a lot of physical contact with him and let him experience confrontation at the British Championship level."
"Understood!" Morgan took the order and ran to the court.
Shakespeare next to him frowned: "Nigel, is this a bit cruel to Xia? You must know that Morgan's physical strength is at the top level of the British Championship. Letting him fight against Xia, isn't that crushing?"
"Hmph? , I want just this effect," Pearson said with an expressionless face, "Let that kid know the cruelty of the British Championship, so that he can avoid being whiny and dissatisfied on the bench."
Shakespeare felt sorry for Xia Xing.
Based on Pearson's attitude towards Xia Xing, he was afraid Xia xing won't have many opportunities to even sit on the bench this season...
On the field, the match began.
Xia Xing was temporarily included in the substitute lineup and placed in the left midfield position.
Compared with his teammates who have a tacit understanding, he is far behind.
There are some flaws in his techniques, and he has not received formal European youth training experience and has no actual combat experience.
This match was very difficult for Xia Xing.
He could only strive to become the team's holding midfielder and help his teammates pass the ball, that's all.
And when Xia Xing wanted to advance with the ball or look for a shooting opportunity, Morgan came up.
In this game, Morgan frequently attacked, seeking physical confrontation with Xia Xing.
The continuous collision caused Xia Xing to be knocked to pieces.
After being knocked down for the third time, Matthew James on the opposite side helped him up and looked at him with sympathy.
"Xia, your body is relatively weak and you do have some problems. But don't give up on yourself, because the captain's body is definitely the best in the world. Not to mention in the English Championship, even in the Premier League, he is super strong."
Xia Xing smiled bitterly.
After absorbing Henry's card, his strength value became "58+2", but even so, he could not shake Morgan at all.
If Morgan's data can be seen, it is estimated that his strength value can exceed 90...
Pearson shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Stand up quickly, Chinese boy! This is a physical confrontation at the British Championship level. You are knocked away by the opponent and it is not even a foul! This is not a Manchester United youth training camp, nor is it an amateur field. If you want to gain a foothold here, you are still far away!"
