Chapter 6 Hello, Leicester City!

For a Manchester United player or fan, red must be their most preferred color.

The hot red sparks make people's blood rush all the time.

On the contrary, if Manchester United fans were asked to choose the most hated color, there would be no doubt.

Must be blue!

Xia Xing's mother grew up in Manchester. Although her mother has been in China since he can remember, she has not forgotten to follow the home team he has loved since he was a child.

Manchester United.

Therefore, Xia Xing was able to sign a professional contract with Manchester United. For him, this was regarded as fulfilling his mother's wish.

Love red and hate blue, this has become a conditioned reflex in Xia Xing's football watching career.

At this time, looking at the blue eyes, Xia Xing found it quite interesting.

I never thought I would one day wear a blue jersey and compete.

The loan procedures have been completed, and Manchester United sent a special car to take the summer trip to Leicester.

It's very close to Manchester, just over an hour's drive.

Sitting in the car, Xia Xing stared at the blue city.

As the tenth largest city in the UK, Leicester is not only a famous city in the UK, but also famous in Europe.

Leicester is a large industrial city, but it is also a very famous environmentally friendly city in the UK. It is one of the five winners of the Sustainable City Medal in Europe and the only city in the UK to win this honor.

The characteristics of the temperate maritime climate, with cool summers and mild winters, make this city a good and livable city.

Located in the center of the UK, it is a major transportation artery in the UK. It is very convenient to reach anywhere in the UK from here. It only takes about an hour's drive to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield and other famous cities.

After coming to the UK, Xia Xing used his spare time to visit many clubs for trial training, hoping to embark on the path of professional football.

Among them is Leicester City.

A month ago, Xia Xing had already applied for the sports management major at the University of Leicester. Although he was still waiting for the admission notice, he received the contract extension from Manchester United and the loan contract from Leicester City in advance.

"After all, I really have a fate with Leicester City."

The car stopped in front of the hotel, and the driver helped Xia Xing unload his luggage.

"Hi, boy, good luck!"

The driver wearing a red casual jersey smiled and waved goodbye, and the car drove away, leaving Xia Xing standing alone outside the Leicester City theme hotel.

But soon, a waiter came over.

"Are you Mr. Xia?"

"Well I am."

"Hello, I'm here specifically to greet you. Please follow me."

As they walked inside, the waiter introduced the situation.

This hotel is a theme hotel under the name of Leicester City Club. It is fifteen floors high, has hundreds of rooms, is elegantly decorated, and has a strong football culture. Its main target audience is the visiting team fans who come to watch the game.

Xia Xing, who had just arrived here, was temporarily placed here by his new owner.

Pack up your gifts and rest for a day. The next day, you will be guided by club staff to make final preparations before signing.

Although it was just a loan, Leicester City was unambiguous and conducted strict physical examinations on Xia Xing.

Even if he has a good relationship with Manchester United, it is impossible to rent out a useless person with no ability.

After all, Leicester City's goal this season is to reach the Premier League and they need sufficient bench depth.

Xia Xing's physical examination report was immediately placed on the desk of recruiting director Steve Walsh.

Looking through the report, Walsh frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, I made two calls.

Soon, two middle-aged men came to Walsh's office.

"Jon, Nigel, you are here."

The two people who came were the team's director of football Jon Russ and coach Nigel Pearson.

Lars sat down firmly and looked at Walsh with a smile.

As the team's football director, Lars is a very calm and experienced character with rich experience in managing the team.

Compared to Lars's calmness, Pearson's character is more fiery.

As soon as he entered the room, he spoke directly: "Steve, I am studying the team's recruitment issues and I am very busy. I don't have time to come to your place to drink coffee and talk about Leicester comedy today."

Walsh smiled: "Oh, my dear brother, our Leicester comedy is a well-known art in Europe. Why don't you always look down on it?"

"I would rather spend more time studying football than studying comedy."

"Okay, you football nut."

Director of Football Russ listened to the two chatting with a smile and slowly said: "Steve, is that young man from Manchester here?"

"Hey! You are still a smart guy!" Walsh slapped his thigh, "You are really a smart guy. You guessed it right! He came to Leicester yesterday. Here, here is his physical examination report. "

Looking at the folder handed over by Walsh, Lars smiled and waved his hand: "I can guess the result without looking."

"Oh? Can you guess the result?"

"It should be that the results of the physical examination were not good."

"You can't say that. After all, his physical examination results have passed, and he is not someone who relies on his body to make a living..."

While Walsh was explaining, Pearson next to him snorted, with displeasure written all over his face.

"What did I say? In that exhibition match that you boasted about, you, a layman, looked good, but I looked no good at all!"

Walsh shook his head helplessly: "Don't say that..."

Pearson did not spare his face and expressed his dissatisfaction directly: "I don't think highly of him at all. Maybe his skills are remarkable and his speed is good, but his physical collision is too bad. He may be okay in leagues like Spain, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands, but he will never play in the English Championship!"

Walsh was speechless, and Russ hurriedly spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"After all, this young man passed the physical examination, and his skills and speed are really good. It's not bad to stay and be a bench player, and the weekly salary is only 3,000 euros, which is not much."

"But..."

Pearson wanted to say something, Walsh took out a team list and pointed to the names on it for Pearson to see.

"Midfielders Matthew James and Drinkwater, defender De Laet, these three players are our Leicester City's main players.

"Don't forget, they were all introduced by us from Manchester United.

"At that time, Leicester City was not the only team that wanted to sign them.

"Watford, Queens Park Rangers, Burnley...

"They were all very interested in these three players.

"In the end, it was only with the chairman's face that these three players were brought to Leicester City.

"Manchester United has been very good to us. This time they want to loan young players to us for training.

"I didn't even think about it and agreed directly!

"I am the team's recruitment director. I must consider the relationship between Leicester City and other teams!

"Especially the big giants!

"They don't care about giving up, maybe they will become the core of our team in the future!"
