Chapter 23 [Three new tasks]
Before coming to Leicester City, Xia Xing got to know the basic situation of Leicester City in advance.
Especially management.
In the summer of 2010, Thai tycoon Vichai spent 39 million euros to buy Leicester City Club.
The businessman who was ranked fifth on the Thailand Rich List and 388th on the Forbes World Rich List was only 52 years old at the time.
Unlike some laymen who use football to develop business, Wei Chai Wrong Football has a special passion.
Even his son is very passionate about football and has even received professional football training since childhood.
After coming to Leicester City, Vichai spent two years turning that shaky team into a powerhouse in the British Championship.
If they hadn't had bad luck during the season, they might have been in the Premier League.
In addition to the chairman and shareholders, the club's management is also full of talents.
Recruitment director Steve Walsh is a key figure in the club's recruitment process.
He was the team's number one scout and was entrusted with an important task by Vichai and promoted to recruitment director.
Countless talented players were discovered by him and brought to Leicester City, which is also the key to Leicester City's rapid improvement in performance.
In the summer of 1994, Steve Walsh's blast sent Leicester City into the Premier League.
Tomorrow, twenty years later, he will do his best to help the team go further.
Director of Football Jon Russ, who manages the team very professionally, is someone whom Vichai trusts very much.
Coach Nigel Pearson and assistant coach Craig Shakespeare, not to mention the foundation for Leicester City to achieve good results, have an excellent relationship and put all their efforts into the team.
How can such a united and progressive team not achieve success?
In addition to football, Vichai has a deep relationship with China.
His grandfather was from Fujian, China, and he had the blood of China flowing through him.
And his son Ayawat even has the Chinese name Xu Shengyuan.
So when they met Xia Xing, they felt special kindness.
Having such a Chinese connection has also brought Xia Xing and Leicester City closer together.
After playing the last friendly match, the team took a day off in August and January to take a good rest.
In August and March, they will usher in the first game of the British Championship.
All players used that first day to adjust their state and mentality.
After experiencing the pain of failing to surpass the Super League at the beginning of the season, they are already ready for the new season and look forward to a big fight.
For Xia Xing, he had almost no so-called rest time.
Even if the team is on holiday, he still gives himself extra training every month.
And cooking for Aliona and Li De siblings every day, and having dinner with the three of them, has become the most relaxing moment for him.
Xia Xing's varied Chinese dishes amazed the siblings.
Li De munched on the braised pork: "That one is delicious, that one is delicious."
Ali pointed to the sweet and sour pork: "That tastes so good."
Seeing the siblings enjoying their meal, Xia Xing also developed an appetite.
The food he prepared for himself was boiled chicken, fish and brown rice.
Occasionally, I will eat a little bit of Chinese food, which is enough to satisfy me.
He must control his diet to keep his body in the best condition.
Aliona looked at the electronic time board on the wall: "Tomorrow will be August and January, so fast."
Xia Xing also nodded: "No, he has been in Leicester City for more than a month."
Aliona: "Without the English Championship the day after tomorrow, will I have a chance to play?"
Xia Xing refused to shut up, but Li De jumped in and said, "Sister, why don't I ask him first if he can be included in the squad."
Xia Xing: "My words are really hard to hear."
Li De: "Then can I be included in the squad?"
Xia Xing: "No."
Li De: "That's fine."
Xia Xing: "There are 46 games in the English Championship season, so why be in a hurry."
Aliona shut up at Xia Xing: "No, everyone wants a transition period, don't worry, Xiao, he is sure that after a while, I will have a chance to appear, and I will definitely become the team's starter.
"
Li De: "Sister, my comforting words are a bit fake..."
The three of them were chatting and laughing, talking about the future.
Compared to Aliona and Li De's studies, Xia Xing's work is indeed more topical.
After the meal, the three of them went their separate ways. Xia Xing also returned to his room, entered the system, and started the two-hour "virtual arena."
During that time, he played with Zidane and Henry, and he felt that he had improved a lot.
The attribute data of the system is one thing, but the improvement of personal mental power is invisible.
Facing players of the caliber of Zidane and Thierry Henry, Xia Xing can make moves with ease.
This is one of the reasons why Xia Xing performed well in friendly matches.
He is a player with a big heart and is not afraid of any situation.
As an amateur player a few months ago, he feels that every moment now is a gift from God and he does not regret it.
After two hours of training, Xia Xing left the "virtual arena" still unfinished.
It would be nice if I could have more time to train.
Look back at previous prompt messages.
[The "Virtual Arena" follows the level of the host, which is also C level. Outside the arena, the host can perform football sports that are completely equivalent to reality, and the physical and technical improvements obtained will also be brought back to reality. 】
[You can log in once a day, and the usage time is up to two hours. The number of logins, usage time and number of competition types will increase as the host level increases. ]
If your level increases, the usage time of the "Virtual Arena" will also increase.
And there is a "number of competitive types"?
What is that?
Bu Nao must be very good!
If you want to improve your personal level, you must improve your own level and strength.
At this time, the Qida wild card is on the side, and the translucent progress bar information is displayed.
[(unit hour) Qidawai: 80/100.]
Qida’s wild cards are about to be integrated!
Really looking forward to it!
Just when Xia Xing was about to log out of the system, a new message suddenly popped up.
【You have three new tasks, please check them!】
[Task 1:1, First appearance in the English Championship.]
[Task time: Complete 1 condition in the task.]
[Task reward: Nicky Bart card, Grade A.]
[Task 2: 1. Score the first goal in the British Championship; 2. Help the team win. 】

[Task time: In a game, complete 2 conditions in the task at the same time. 】
[Task reward: Patrick Vieira card, S level.]
[Excuse me, host, do you accept the mission? 】
Xia Xing’s eyes lit up!
The new mission is finally here!
In those two days, he was thinking about how he would get new cards after the fusion of Qida's wild cards was completed.
Now, new tasks are coming, and new cards are coming soon!
There were three stars in the three missions, one A-level and two S-level.
Ok, Ok!
Those three players are all famous big shots!
