Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

2012, March 18, morning

""Woo!"

As the plane landed, Li Lei appeared at London Heathrow International Airport.

He shivered as he walked out of the airport. Spring had already begun in Barcelona in March, while London in March was still at the end of winter.

Looking around, he began to look for a bus to Leicester City. For him who had already gotten used to life in Europe, Britain was not unfamiliar either.

Two days ago, his supervisor Baron called him and said on the phone:"Li, congratulations on getting the opportunity to try out for Leicester City."

"Really!"The sudden surprise made him overjoyed, so Li Lei asked uncertainly.

"Of course, I have already confirmed this with Leicester City coach Mr. Pearson."

"The time is set for two days later, on the afternoon of March 18th."

"How about it, young man? Is the time okay? If there are any problems, I will discuss it with them."

"No problem, no problem."

Hearing this, Li Lei quickly agreed, his voice revealing infinite joy.

"Well, kid, I wish you good luck again, and be careful of the British, they are too barbaric"

"Thank you very much for your efforts."

After two days of preparation, Li Lei returned the house he rented in Barcelona, said goodbye to a few good friends, and boarded the plane to London alone.

After a bumpy ride, he finally caught the bus to Leicester City.

He has been excited since he woke up today. He has not rested well during the whole journey from Barcelona to taxi, plane and bus.

So he felt a little sleepy as soon as he sat down and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Make way, make way!"

"You thief! Call the police!"

"Let me go, let go."

He didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly he was awakened by a loud noise, and saw a burly, weathered-looking uncle sitting next to him. The previous noise had long been put aside, and this face was too familiar to Li Lei, this was the Vardy he had been thinking about day and night, the future golden thigh.

Vardy should be 25 years old this year, and should be an elder brother to Li Lei, a 20-year-old young man.

But it was difficult for him to call out this weathered face.

At this time, Vardy also found that the Asian guy next to him was staring at him, so he said jokingly:"Hey! What are you looking at, little guy?"

"Did you recognize me?"

After saying this, he winked at Li Lei, as if to say that he was very famous.

""Hey! Uncle, who are you?" Li Lei pouted and said, he didn't want to recognize him now, he couldn't lose his momentum.

"Me! Vardy, the big star who is about to join Leicester City in the English Championship!" Li Lei's behavior obviously angered him, and his voice couldn't help but get a little higher.

His action made everyone in the car look sideways to see which big star it was.

Seeing everyone's actions, Vardy couldn't help but shrink his neck and dared not say anything.

You must know that before this he was still in Fleetwood Town Football Club, belonging to a non-professional player, and it would be a miracle if anyone knew him.

This time, he was spotted by Leicester City and came for a trial, which made him feel unreal. It was also the result of his persistence over the years. Over the years, he has been working and playing football at the same time. To put it nicely, he is in a semi-professional state, and to put it bluntly, it is just a hobby.

"Nice to meet you! I am your future teammate, Li Lei"

"You can call me Li."

As he spoke, Li Lei extended his right hand and shook hands with the other party, officially getting to know each other.

""Ha! How old are you when you start playing football, little guy?" Vardy said to the kid in front of him who was said to be his future teammate.

Li Lei sneered at his words, rolled his eyes and said,"Uncle, you don't understand the world of geniuses!"

"What? Uncle! I'm only 25 this year! What position do you play? I'm a striker."Vardy said familiarly.

"Winger, wing midfielder, attacking midfielder are all fine"

"Then we can cooperate during the trial training later!"

When he heard that the opponent was not in the same position as him, Vardy secretly felt relieved.

He did not want to have too many competitors and was very nervous about this opportunity.

Since the opponent's position complemented his own, he might as well establish a good relationship now and let the opponent pass the ball to him more on the court.

"Little guy, this is your first time in the UK! I will take care of you from now on!"Vardy said with the mentality of an older brother

"Are you Korean or Japanese?"

"Chinese"

"Oh my god! You are amazing. The last time I saw a Chinese player playing football in the UK was Sun Yat-sen."

"Yes! He is indeed very strong, but I will surpass him."

"Little guy, you have ambition. To play football, you need to have this kind of unyielding mentality."

Time passed quickly as the two chatted. After several rounds of transfers, under the guidance of Vardy, a local, Li Lei finally arrived at Leicester City's training base.

This training base in Seagrave, north of Leicester, covers an area of 185 acres and is very modern and professional.

"This is where the players should be." Vardy said loudly beside him, and it seems that he was also conquered by this training base.

"" Yes!" The stunned Li Lei couldn't help but answer.

Just as the two of them were standing at the gate of the training base like two new bumpkins who had just arrived in the city, the security guard inside the gate came up and said,"I'm sorry sir, visitors are not allowed here."

"No, we are not here to visit! We are the players here."Vardy defended

"Why don't you let us in?"

"Impossible, I have never seen you! I know every player in Leicester City.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were unmoved, the security guard's tone began to become stiff.

"Sir, please don't get me wrong, I am a player here for trial, my name is Li Lei and his name is Vardy"

"If you don't believe me, you can go check it out."

Li Lei hurried forward to explain, otherwise the two of them would have to fight.

"Wait!"

After hearing what Li Lei said, the security guard couldn't help but hesitate. After all, the team has undergone major changes recently, and there are quite a lot of people coming for tryouts.

The security guard who came to the storage room picked up the phone and said,"BOSS, there are two players coming for tryouts at the door."

"what is it call?"

"Li Lei and Vardy"

"Yes, let them in and bring them to the training ground."

"Yes, Boss."

At this time, in the office of Leicester City's training base, a pale and short strong man put down the phone in his hand and picked up the player information on the desk to check it carefully.

"I hope you can give me some surprises!"

The information detailed the statistics of Li Lei and Vardy.
