Chapter 326 But, I'm Really Not Reconciled...

Today Xia Xing lay in the room all day and had a good sleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark.

Xia Xing suddenly felt like a world away.

Is it time to finish eating?

He was just about to get out of bed, but when he exerted a little force, he felt discomfort in his feet.

Oh yes, I was hurt.

Xia Xing continued to lie down, and called for the meal delivery service.

Just 5 minutes after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

Catering service is pretty fast.

Xia Xing said please come in.

Because he just told the delivery man that his foot was injured, just ask him to come up and open the door with a spare room card.

There was a card swiping sound at the door, and someone came in.

But not the delivery man, but Ranieri.

"Coach, is that you?"

Ranieri closed the door with a smile, came to Xia Xing and sat down by the window, and put the food on the bedside table.

"How does your body feel?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, that's good, but you also have to take a good rest. After all, it's a sprained ankle. Don't let the root of the disease fall."

"Don't worry, coach, I'll be able to return to the training ground after a few days of rest, and I'll definitely be able to catch up with the game then."

Ranieri did not answer.

He motioned for Xia Xing to eat first, Xia Xing nodded, holding the lunch box and devouring it hungrily.

After all, I didn't eat much at noon, so I'm really hungry now.

Ranieri also didn't speak, he didn't want to disturb Xia Xing's feeling of eating.

In this way, Xia Xing ate, while Ranieri looked out the window in a daze.

In 10 minutes, the meal was finished.

Xia Xing put the lunch box aside, and Ranieri looked back when he heard the sound.

"already ate?"

"Ah."

"Here's some juice, drink some."

"Juice has too much sugar, let's forget it, I'll just drink water."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you drink less, the sweet taste can adjust your mood."

In the team, Ranieri, who has always banned players from drinking juice before the game, is now lenient.

In fact, it's not considered a license, but in Ranieri's heart, Xia Xing is no longer in a "pre-match" state.

Xia Xing smiled and pointed in the direction of the window: "The scenery outside the window is not bad?"

Ranieri smiled and shook his head: "It's not good, but I think you may not be used to staring at you for dinner, so I don't bother you at all."

"Thank you coach."

"How's your body feeling?"

"It's much more comfortable when you're full, hehe."

"That's good."

The two chatted without saying a word, just like chatting about family affairs.

But Xia Xing knew the other party's purpose.

Since Ranieri is cautious about his own feelings, he should start by himself.

"Coach, do you want to come and talk to me about the Champions League final?"

"Well, it's like this. I don't want to hide your injury."

"I know, the situation is not very good, I heard the conversation between the attending physician and you."

"There is a high probability that you will not be able to participate in the finals, you..."

"I'm mentally prepared for this, don't worry."

"Ugh……"

Seeing Xia Xingping's peaceful expression, Ranieri became sad first.

"Xia, your injury may be more sad to me than you.

"I know it's a weird statement, but it's from my heart.

"It's just the two of us, so let me speak from the bottom of my heart.

"After a while, I will not admit that I have said these things, hehe.

"You're a genius, a real genius,

"Even Ronaldo and Messi when they were young are not as comprehensive as you.
"My evaluation of you is very objective,
"Compared with them, the biggest gap is the starting point and platform.

"If you're at a big club, you might be eligible for the Ballon d'Or by now,

"I'm not exaggerating.

"Look at the moment, if you don't get injured and lead Leicester to the Champions League,

"You could even be in contention for the Ballon d'Or this year, I'm sure.

"So, I always make a mental preparation,
"That is you could leave Leicester at any moment.

"Xia, you don't need to explain anything, it doesn't make sense, I was young too, I also coached many talented players, I understand.

"I understand.

"This season has been a near-perfect season for you,

"You've won almost everything, only one Champions League.

"With Leicester's platform, it's great that you can do that, fantastic.

"In the future, when you go to a wealthy club, playing in the Champions League will become commonplace, and it will be common to play in the Champions League final.

"Even to win more than one Champions League, I have confidence in you.

"But for Leicester, for me, maybe there aren't many opportunities.

"It's an honor to have a talent like you on this team.

"And Mahrez, Kante, Vardy, Drinkwater,
"It's a golden age for Leicester City,
"As for next season, I'm not sure how many people will stay on the team,

"But I am sure that no matter how many people are introduced, it is impossible to reach the current height,

"I'm sure, I'm sorry.

"I'm so sad for what could be my last Champions League final and you're injured.

"But that's football, that's life.

"But, I'm really not reconciled..."

Ranieri sighed and looked out the window, speechless for a long time.

Xia Xing didn't speak either.

Ever since he met Ranieri, his impression has been gentle, humble, low-key and optimistic.

But now, Ranieri showed a trace of sadness.

Xia Xing knew that it was because of his injury.

As an old coach, Ranieri's coaching career is indeed not easy.

There are too many difficulties behind the title of "Tinker".

But now, he finally had the opportunity to create a "pure gold cauldron", but the fire was half-extinguished.

Why not embarrassing?

Xia Xing sat up straight: "Coach, don't be too sad. Although I'm injured, it's not that I can't help the team at all."

Hearing this, Ranieri nodded vigorously, and the light appeared in his eyes again.

"You're right, even with the injury, you're still an integral part of the team.

"I have already discussed with the coaching staff. I will give you the best wheelchair tomorrow and let you join the coaching staff temporarily.

"With your understanding of football, your understanding of your teammates, and your analysis of opponents,
"It will definitely be of great use to the team.
"Maybe we still have a chance, maybe?"

Xia Xing nodded vigorously: "I also have that intention."

Ranieri smiled: "That's great! Let's work together and continue to create miracles!"

Xia Xing paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Coach, I have a request, I hope you can agree."

Ranieri patted his chest: "No problem! As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help you achieve it!"

Xia Xing paused again for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"If I can get fit before the game, I hope you can give me some playing time."
