Walking off the court, Xia Xing was still thinking about what the young black player had just said.

"Maybe one day we will meet on a bigger stage."

can you?

It's hard.

But, it definitely will!

Xia Xing's eyes were bright, and he turned back to look at the green field again.

It seems that I can still see my all-powerful figure just now.

On the side of the court, Shakespeare warmly embraced Xia Xing.

"Xia, you did a great job today!"

"Thanks."

The Doubi trio also came up to hug Xia Xing.

"Boy, you are really good, your skills are top-notch!"

"Let me tell you, you are definitely better than that guy James."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't step on each one!"

The three of them talked and laughed.

Drinkwater muttered in a low voice: "We lost this game unjustly. Monaco is too strong. I think they can even reach the semi-finals of the Champions League or something with a little grinding for a season or two."

Jamest agreed: "First-team players are worth hundreds of millions, which is amazing."

De Laet has lingering fears: "Not to mention the members of the first team, even the young players who come on the bench are very talented. Those two forwards, named Mbappe and Martial, really need speed and speed. You have to have skills; and the Portuguese midfielder named Silva is also super strong.”

Xia Xing turned around again and looked not far away. Three young Monaco players were chatting easily and had already entered the locker room.

Geniuses, we will meet again one day!

Four days later, on July 31, Leicester City ushered in its third warm-up match before the season.

It's also the last one.

Three days later, the 2013-2014 English Championship season will officially begin.

This is the last mock test before the official exam.

The last opponent was very weak, Northampton, also from League Two, even weaker than York City.

Last season they were even close to being relegated to England C.

Pearson's purpose in this game was very clear, to let the players find confidence before the start of the game and score a few more goals.

But unexpectedly, the process made Pearson very unhappy.

Leicester City did their best, but at the end of the first half, the score was only 1-0.

And the only goal was a mistake by the opponent's defender, and Vardy stole a goal.

Looking at Leicester City alone, they have many opportunities, but their scoring ability is too poor.

After the start of the second half, Pearson directly replaced most of the players.

Especially young forward Chris Wood, whose performance in three games was poor.

A natural attacker, Pearson has high hopes for Chris Wood.

After he transferred to Leicester City six months ago in the winter, Pearson has carefully trained him.

The plan was to straighten him out this season, but his poor performance in friendly matches left Pearson disappointed.

This young man should hone his skills on the bench.

After the start of the second half, last season's starting forward combination Nugent and Conoket came off the bench.

But the performance of the two could not satisfy Pearson.

In the 70th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again got the opportunity to come on as a substitute.

As soon as he came on the field, he almost hit the goal with a wonderful long-range shot.

Two minutes later, a one-two from the wing almost led to Andy King's goal.

Shakespeare kept applauding on the sidelines, encouraging Xia Xing.

It was not until the 86th minute of the game that Leicester City finally expanded the score.

This time it was an opportunity created by the left wing!

Xia Xing took the ball on the left wing, accelerated with the ball, and rushed towards the opponent's strong midfielder!

But at the moment when his body was about to collide, Xia Xing suddenly dodged away!

The opponent's midfielder was about to steal the ball, but the ball disappeared!

Not at Xia Xing’s feet!

The moment Xia Xing approached the defensive player, he had already knocked the ball behind him!

The left back De Laet understood the idea and passed the ball over the defensive player's head!

Xia Xing received the ball steadily!

The cooperation this time was wonderful!

The two defensive players on the opposite side are flanking each other, and there are not many opportunities to pass the ball forward.

Xia Xing calmly chose to knock horizontally!

Drinkwater stepped in from the back, took two steps after receiving the ball, and shot directly!

A powerful and heavy long-range shot hit the net!

The ball went in!

2 to 0!

Leicester City finally scored again!

The three former Manchester United players hugged each other and team-mates came forward to celebrate.

Although it was just a goal in a friendly match, it was not easy for this game.

The coaching staff on the sidelines also applauded, happy for the goal.

Shakespeare sighed: "Sure enough, these former Manchester United players have a special tacit understanding after going through Manchester United's youth training. Especially Xia, even though he only played in the Manchester United youth team for more than a month, he still has many shadows of the Red Devils. This can be considered his advantage.”

However, Pearson's face was expressionless, without any emotion or anger.

A few minutes later, the referee's whistle sounded and the game was over.

What was thought to be a big victory ended up being a small 2-0 victory.

The future of Leicester City in the new season is really hard to say.

Despite this, the fans still gave the team the greatest encouragement.

The King Power Stadium burst into applause, dedicated to their hero.

"host!"

Several people walked out of the player tunnel, and the coaching staff around them greeted them respectfully.

This is Vichai, the chairman of Leicester City, surrounded by his family and friends.

As the chairman of Leicester City, Vichai can win the respect of the club, not because of his identity, but because of his character and sincerity to Leicester City.

In the club, he is very kind to everyone, which is related to his personality.

In the club's business activities, he never hesitates to invest, manages professionally, and never interferes with the coaching of teams he is not familiar with.

Pearson, who is usually serious and cold, also smiled when he saw Vichai.

"Chairman."

"Nigel, the new season is about to start, how do you feel?"

"I am confident that I can succeed in the Super League!"

"Haha, good, good."

The two exchanged a few words, and Vichai also came to the players, greeted them with concern, and chatted for a few words.

When he came to Xia Xing, he stayed there for a longer time.

"Xia Xing, hello."

This sentence was said in Chinese.

Xia Xing felt very cordial when he heard his mother tongue in a foreign country.

"Hello, Chairman."

"I heard that you grew up in China?"

"Yes, although I am a British citizen, I have lived in China since I was a child."

"I also have Chinese blood, so we are half compatriots."

"It's my honor."

"I admire your skills very much. I believe you will find your value and future in Leicester City. Come on."

"Thank you!"

Vichai turned and left. The young man standing next to him also stepped forward and shook hands with Xia Xing with a smile.

"The Chairman is my father. My name is Xu Shengyuan. It's nice to meet you, Xia Xing. I have a hunch that we will become good friends in the future."
