Chapter 353 New No. 7!
"Manchester United's new number seven!"
On the front page of the Manchester Post, a photo of Xia Xing wearing jersey No. 7 occupied half of the page.
And that newspaper has already been sold out at major newsstands.
The number seven jersey, that means a lot.
Does Manchester United’s No. 7 inheritance have a historical tradition?
Eric Cantona, the former king of Manchester United.
David Beckham, the former genius midfielder of Manchester United, is the top football idol in England and even the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a Ballon d'Or winner at Manchester United, is the leader of a new era.
Those famous names, just thinking about them, will make fans excited.
In the following seasons, players wearing the No. 7 jersey were somewhat questioned.
Michael Owen, who has suffered injuries many times, Valencia, who has mixed reputations on the right wing, Argentinian winger Leah, who stayed for just one season and left, Memphis Depay, who failed to realize his talent in Van Gaal's leg...
…
These players have all worn the No. 7 jersey, but have they never become superstars?
Especially with No. 7 Depay, and with the support of fellow coach Van Gaal, he was unable to achieve success, and he sadly left on loan.
Mourinho also felt that he was wrong. If nothing else happens, he would not come back after the loan ends.
Mourinho even left his No. 7 jersey in the East and gave it to Xia Xing.
The expectation and respect are evident.
In fact, Xia Xing prefers the No. 17 jersey. Since Bu Nao is there, the significance of No. 7 is extraordinary, so he naturally accepted it happily.
Manchester United’s new No. 7 is in place!
A transfer fee of 50 million euros was not a big deal in European football that summer.
Especially considering that Manchester United has just spent 105 million euros to buy Pogba, and Xia Xing's transfer fee is not even half of the French midfielder.
But even so, he is still the team's hottest star in recent times.
Especially if Mourinho failed to meet his expectations more than any other player.
When the transfer was in progress, Mourinho personally used his connections to help Xia Xing find a suitable residence.
His goals are absolutely right and they cannot stop for a while, but they can serve for a long time.
This is not what Mourinho wants to see, nor is it what Xia Xing expects.
Previously, Xia Xing found a satisfactory residence in a villa area 30 kilometers away from the Carrington training base.
In fact, there are some interesting stories there.
That house was actually bought by Beckham. As a real estate investment, it is not considered a new house since he has not yet owned it.
Hearing that Xia Xing was looking for a house, Beckham took out the house and sold it to Xia Xing for 3 million euros.
This is almost a deviation from the market price.
Using an optimized price in exchange for the friendship of a supernova, is Beckham a good businessman?
An interesting thing about that house is that it is in the same villa area as Sir Alex Ferguson.
It takes five minutes to walk to Ferguson's residence.
That also made Xia Xing very satisfied.
As Manchester United's top boss, Ferguson's influence is extraordinary.
Even though he has retired, he still has a great say in Manchester United.
Living next to him brings many conveniences.
Moreover, he was not brought to Manchester United by Ferguson, and the two have always had a good personal relationship.
Every time he returned to Manchester United from Leicester City, Xia Xing would visit Ferguson.
It's completely convenient now.
I went to visit Ferguson at his home, but it was in vain.
Ferguson went on vacation with his family and was not at home.
It’s best to call and visit in advance during your summer trip.
"Xia! It was a mistake for me to come back! After he comes back in Dongyue, he invites me to his house for tea!"
Ferguson's voice is still cheerful, and it can be heard that he is in good health.
Xia Xing was very happy.
Mourinho took Xia Xing into the new house, which was already packed.
The outside of the house is clean and tidy.
Mourinho smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "He knows that I like Chinese style, so he didn't arrange for anyone to furnish the furniture. I will do the rest myself."
"thank you!"
"You're welcome, if you go back and score a few more goals, he will be happy, hahahaha!"
Mourinho is in a good mood.
A few days after arriving from the east, Xia Xing began to clean up the house.
He invited big-name designers to design the entire house.
It is worth mentioning that the young female designer is of Chinese descent and has a very similar experience to Xia Xing. Although she is young, she has won many international awards and her strength cannot be underestimated.
According to Xia Xing's wishes, the entire room was decorated in Chinese style.
It's antique and has a heavy feel, but the designer added a lot of small decorations, not only for Feng Shui considerations, but also to add some interest to the room.
After all, the owner of the house is very young. The house can be thick and heavy, but it must not look too old-fashioned.
A three-story villa, with a living room and a few guest rooms on the first floor, the main living area on the second floor, and a gym, movie and television hall and some functional rooms on the third floor.
It includes a large yard and a swimming pool in the yard, all of which are beautifully decorated.
Even the patterns and layout of the exterior walls of the houses are full of oriental design.
Xia Xingcuo was very satisfied with this, and the previous remuneration directly increased by 20%.
The design company is also very happy.
Of course, individual red envelopes for designers are also very generous.
After the decoration work was completed, Xia Xing invited designers from the design company and several engineering staff to have dinner.
After dinner, others left first, and the young female designer invited Xia Xing to walk around her home and talk about Eastern culture.
Even if it’s time to catch up with fellow villagers.
But Fu Xia Xing refused.
From the affectionate eyes of the young and beautiful female designer, Xia Xing understood some emotions.
But no, he decisively refused.
Because he already has his heart set on belonging.
After bidding farewell to the disappointed female designer, Xia Xing drove back to the villa alone.
The three-story villa was large and fully functional, but Bu Nao looked a little lonely walking alone in the living room on the first floor.
At that moment, he suddenly missed his home in Leicester.
Since coming to England, he has rarely recalled his home in China.
Occasionally I think of my parents.
He was sent out to play football since he was a child and didn't spend much time at home.
After arriving in Leicester, he finally had a home he could go back to every morning.
He can cook, has a family, and has someone to leave a light for him on the morning of the competition month.
That feels so good.
After a tiring day of decorating, thinking about the feeling of home, Xia Xing fell asleep lying down on the soft sofa.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn the next day.
What woke him up was a knock on the door.
Because it was under renovation, Xia Xing did not close the courtyard door.
The visitor did not ring the doorbell outside the courtyard, but came directly to the door.
Needless to say, it must be an acquaintance.
Is Mourinho looking for himself?
Isn’t Sir Alex Ferguson back?
No other friends?
Xia Xing stood up and opened the door.
I didn't see anyone, so I heard the sound first.
"I'm so happy. His name is Li De. Nice to meet me."
