Chapter 74 New reinforcements are in place!
In January 2014, Leicester City won a good victory against Millwall.
The whole team also had a good rest for two days.
Jiedong has reached a critical stage of the sprint, and the players must ensure sufficient physical strength.
Although the team was on holiday, Fu Xiaxing still did not relax in training.
During the two days off, he went to the club to train every day.
And not even a minute is wasted in the system’s “virtual arena”.
Xia Xing made rapid progress by training with the superstars for five hours a day.
I'm a little confused. The current training cannot be loaded because all the cards are activated.
There are two tasks, but they are almost impossible to accomplish.
[Task 1: Defeat Premier League teams five times in a row this season.]
[Task time: Conditions for completing the task before the end of the season.]
[Mission reward: Johan Cruyff card, SS level.]
[Task 2: 1. Make the first appearance in the British Championship; 2. Score a goal; 3. Defeat Manchester City.]
[Task time: In this season’s competition, complete the 3 conditions in the task at the same time. 】
[Mission reward: Kevin Keegan card, S level.]
After missing the match against Manchester City and losing, Keegan's card is gone.
And being eliminated from the EFL Cup, five wins against Premier League teams in a single season is basically out of the question.
In order to achieve that task, we must have a winning streak in the next FA Cup match.
Leicester City has now beaten only one Premier League team, and that was Fulham in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
Then came the East, winning four consecutive Premier League teams from the East in the FA Cup.
That goal is really too difficult and almost impossible to achieve.
Just waiting for new tasks to appear.
For the current Xia Xing, the current strength is enough to cope with the Championship level players.
In addition to the increase in skill points, star skills also make Xia Xing very profitable.
The star's skill "Heavy Cannon" often helps Xia Xing hit the wrong goal with long shots.
In the game against Manchester City, the star's "king's dominance" also played a role.
After Xia Xing scored the first goal, his teammates gathered around him. Xia Xing encouraged his teammates loudly and boosted the morale of the whole team.
I wonder if Xia Xing had never been so prestigious and intimidating in the past.
That has a lot to do with the "king's domineering spirit".
Now Xia Xing's status in the team has also undergone great changes.
Because he was given the identity of the core of the offense, Xia Xing was a highly sought-after member of the team.
Quite a bit, his temperament has changed, and his teammates have gained more trust and expectation from him.
That was completely different from the previous rookie period.
If outsiders looked at Xia Xing's performance in the team, they would even think that he was the team's second or third captain.
After the two-day holiday after the New Year, the whole team regrouped at noon in January and April.
Everyone discovered that there was a new face on the court.
"Who is that guy?" James asked, pointing to the court.
De Laet shook his head: "Is this the team's new coach? Is he too young?"
Drinkwater glanced at the two of them disdainfully: "We guys are too ignorant. Haven't you heard that the team has recently introduced new players?"
"No."
"Haha, let's just play football and don't worry about other things..."
"Tell me, tell me."
Looking at the gossipy looks in their eyes, Drinkwater cleared his throat and lowered his voice.
"I heard that Pearson was paying attention to that young man a year ago.
"It seems that he is from the French second league and is the perfect main player of the team.
"Well, he is a genius.
"I heard that I asked to leave because of the turmoil in the team.
"It seems that the transfer fee is not high, only about 1 million.
"He doesn't know much about other information either.
"He should be the most informed person on the team..."
Drinkwater was chatting, and James poked him: "Let me see."
"What is he looking at?"
"He seems to have more information about Coco than me..."
Drinkwater looked back and saw Xia Xing chatting in front of the newcomer.
The two of them actually know each other?
Not only was Drinkwater puzzled, but other teammates also didn't expect it.
Maybe, do they know each other?
If we don’t know each other, then we have a one-sided relationship.
Xia Xing walked into the stadium and immediately saw a strange yet somewhat familiar figure.
Was he the person who greeted him that day?
After missing the Manchester City game, I had a few words with myself about him.
I don't know who he is.
Judging from the situation, there is a high probability that he will be the team's new player.
Xia Xing also heard about it and heard that new players were joining the team.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected.
"Hi." Xia Xing walked in front and greeted warmly.
The man also saw Xia Xing and took the initiative to give him a high-five: "Xia, nice to see me."
"I should be the team's new player."
"Um."
"He didn't know my name."
"Haha, don't ask too much, just ask me to understand his skills."
Xia Xing shrugged.
He is truly a boy with character.
Head coach Pearson came over, and the players all lined up to wait for the pre-training speech.
The young man stood aside and waited.
Pearson greeted everyone as usual, with a few simple words and no formalities.
"Guys, he wants to introduce us to a new partner tomorrow.
"Riyad, I'm coming.
"The young man's name is Riyad Mahrez, their new winter signing.
“He comes from Le Havre Football Club in the French second division and is a very talented young man.
"I hope we can get along well with Jie Donglai. I believe Riad will definitely bring them something different."
Pearson briefly introduced a few words, then stepped back slightly to let Mahrez say a few words.
Mahrez looked at his new Leicester City teammates with no smile on his face and was very peaceful.
"He's Riyad Mahrez, we can call him whatever we want.
"He is 22 years old, Algerian and has French nationality, so he does not occupy the team's non-EU player quota.
"He often plays as a winger and attacking midfielder. He is very good at controlling the ball and dribbling, and his shooting skills are also good.
"Well, that's all."
The Leicester City players were stunned for a moment, but Xia Xing took the lead in applauding. Only then did everyone react and applaud to show their welcome.
James whispered: "That boy looks quite proud."
De Laet poked him: "He is good at controlling the ball and dribbling. He often plays as a winger and attacking midfielder. It seems that my main position is no longer guaranteed."
James: "How come a new player comes and I say his position is not guaranteed?"
De Laet: "If you don't agree, I'll just convince you otherwise."
James: "He...submitted."
Draett: "Maybe that guy is as powerful as Xia."
James: "No, where can he meet so many geniuses?"
It turns out that James' words came true...
