Star Card System

Chapter 326 But I really can't give up...

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

When he opened his eyes, it was already dark.

Xia Xing suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

Is it time to finish his meal?

He just wanted to get out of bed, and with a little effort, he felt discomfort in his feet.

Oh, by the way, I'm injured.

Xia Xing continued to lie down and called for room service.

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

The meal service was quite fast.

Xia Xing said please come in.

Because he just told the waiter that he was injured in his foot, he asked him to bring the spare room card to open the door.

The door rang with a card swiping sound, and someone came in.

But it was not the waiter, but Ranieri.

"Coach, is that you?"

Ranieri smiled and closed the door, came to Xia Xing's window and sat down, and put the food on the bedside table.

"How do you feel?"

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

"Well, that's good, but you have to rest well, after all, it's an ankle sprain, don't let it cause any root of disease."

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

Ranieri didn't answer.

He motioned to Xia Xing to eat first, and Xia Xing nodded, holding the lunch box and gobbling it up.

After all, he didn't eat much at noon, so he was really hungry now.

Ranieri didn't say anything either, he didn't want to disturb Xia Xing's feeling of eating.

In this way, Xia Xing ate, and Ranieri stared out the window in a daze.

Ten minutes later, the meal was finished.

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

"Have you finished eating?"

"Yeah."

"Here's some juice, drink some."

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

"It's okay, it's okay to drink less, the sweetness can adjust your mood."

In the team, Ranieri, who always forbids players to drink juice before the game, now makes a break.

In fact, it's not a special permission, but in Ranieri's heart, Xia Xing is no longer in the "pre-game" state.

Xia Xing smiled and pointed to the window: "Is the scenery outside the window nice?"

Ranieri smiled and shook his head: "Not very good, but I think if I stare at you eating, you may not be used to it, so I won't bother you."

"Thank you, coach."

"How do you feel?"

"I feel much better after eating, hehe."

"That's good."

The two chatted intermittently, just like chatting about family matters.

But Xia Xing knew the other party's purpose.

Since Ranieri was cautious and concerned about his own feelings, he should start it himself.

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

"Yes, that's right. I don't want to hide your injury."

"I know it's not very good. I heard the conversation between the attending physician and you."

"It's very likely that you can't participate in the final. You..."

"I'm mentally prepared. Don't worry."

"Ah..."

Looking at Xia Xing's calm expression, Ranieri was the first to feel sad.

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

"I know this sentence is strange, but it's what I say from the bottom of my heart.

"Now there are only two of us, so I'll say some sincere words from the bottom of my heart.

"I won't admit that I said these words when I leave this door, haha.

"You are a genius, a real genius,

"Even Ronaldo and Messi when they were young were not as comprehensive as you,

"My evaluation of you is very objective,

"Compared with them, the biggest gap is the problem of starting point and platform,

"If you were in a big club, you might be eligible to compete for the Golden Ball Award now,

"I'm not exaggerating.

"Look at it now, if you hadn't been injured and led Leicester City to win the Champions League,

"You would even be eligible to compete for the Ballon d'Or this year, I'm sure of that.

"So, I'm always mentally prepared,

"That is, you could leave Leicester City at any time.

"Xia, you don't have to explain anything, it's meaningless, I was young, I've coached many talented players, I understand.

"I understand.

"This season is a near-perfect season for you,

"You've won almost everything, only missing a Champions League title.

"On the platform of Leicester City, it's great that you can do this, it's super great.

"In the future, when you go to a big club, playing in the Champions League will become commonplace, and playing in the Champions League final will also be common,

"You may even win more than one Champions League title, I have confidence in you.

"But for Leicester City and for me, there may not be many opportunities.

" "It is a great honor for this team to have a talent like you,

"There are also Mahrez, Kante, Vardy, Drinkwater,

"Now is the golden age of Leicester City,

"Let's talk about next season, I'm not sure how many people can stay in the team,

"But I'm sure that no matter how many more people are introduced, it will never reach the current height,

"I'm sure, I'm sorry.

"I'm so sad that you got injured in what may be my last Champions League final.

"But this is football, this is life.

"But I'm really unwilling..."

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

Xia Xing did not speak either.

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

But now, Ranieri showed a trace of sadness.

Xia Xing knew that this was because of his injury.

As an old coach, Ranieri's coaching career is indeed very difficult.

There are too many difficulties behind the name of "tinker".

And now, he finally has the opportunity to build a "pure gold pot", but the fire is half extinguished.

How can it not make people sigh?

Xia Xing sat up straight: "Coach, don't be too sad. Although I am injured, I am not completely unable to help the team."

Hearing this, Ranieri nodded vigorously, and his eyes glowed again.

"You are right. Even if you are injured, you are still an indispensable member of the team.

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

"With your understanding of football, your understanding of teammates, and your analysis of opponents,

"You will definitely be of great use to the team.

"Maybe we still have a chance, who knows?"

Xia Xing nodded vigorously: "That's what I mean."

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

Xia Xing paused for a moment, 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 and spoke slowly.

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