Chapter 8 He doesn’t like me!
Before coming to see Pearson, Xia Xing had already anticipated that situation.
But if the new coach bluntly said he didn't like it, it would make Xia Xing a little embarrassed.
Seeing Xia Xing's expression change, Pearson didn't care at all.
"Xia, he doesn't like me, that's not true.
"But he must tell me that what he said he doesn't like is not related to football and has nothing to do with me personally.
"If they had met on other occasions, they might have become friends, maybe.
"But as the manager of Leicester City, he really can't muster the energy to like me.
"I hope I don't mind what he said.
"My body is too weak to resist, which is the main reason why he doesn't like me.
"He didn't think I would be able to cope with the intensity of the Championship.
"It is very likely that he has seen my resume. I have not received formal football training since I was a child, which is one of the reasons why he is not optimistic about me.
"He didn't think I could get along with my teammates, so I just didn't want to be wild.
"So in his team, it was almost impossible for me to get a chance to play.
"Is reality so cruel?
"So, in the new season, unless I make a big improvement and show a brilliant enough performance to impress him,
"Otherwise, I can just play football in the training matches of Leicester City's youth academy."
Pearson's words were very cold and blunt, which made assistant coach Shakespeare feel a little harsh.
He was worried that Xia Xing wouldn't be able to accept it, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Xia, I don't mind if Coach Pearson wrongly treats his players with higher expectations. Just ask me to train hard and improve myself, and I will have a chance."
Xia Xing nodded and didn't shut up.
Pearson no longer looked at Xia Xing, he once again focused on the lineup list on the wall.
Xia Xing no longer asked for trouble and politely turned around and left.
Shakespeare followed him out and whispered a few words of comfort.
"Xia, Coach Pearson is a very good coach.
"He was harsh on everyone, but he didn't fault me alone. I don't mind.
"On behalf of the coaching staff, he expressed his gratitude to me for coming.
"He had a hunch that I would definitely become a key member of the team's push to reach the Premier League in the new season.
"His premonitions are always very accurate, haha."
After a few words of encouragement, Shakespeare handed over the summer trip to the club's general management department to arrange life-related matters.
Leicester City has a special tradition where young people who newly join the team are arranged to live in fans' homes.
Those fans are core members of the Leicester City Supporters Association and can protect the living conditions of young players to the greatest extent.
This can help young players understand the history of Leicester City as soon as possible and integrate into the football atmosphere of Leicester City.
The club car drove to a villa area and parked at a gate.
Dark Blue Villa Area, No. 17.
That kind of small villa is not uncommon, and the residents are not wealthy. Most of the people who live in those three-story villas are red-collar workers.
Just now in the car, the staff had briefly introduced the family's information to Xia Xing.
The family consisted of two young people, a brother and a sister.
My sister’s name is Alyona, she will be 21 next year and is in college.
My younger brother Read (李德) will be 17 years old next year and is in high school.
I had the same experience as Xia Xing, the parents of the two siblings also passed away early.
Did the club take that into consideration before allowing Xia Xing, who shares the same problem, to stay at that hotel?
I wonder if that family is a fourth generation Leicester City fan.
The blue blood of Leicester City does not flow in his bones.
The staff reminded again: "Xia, the rent and living expenses for my stay there have been paid by the club, so I don't have to think about it too much. If there is no money problem, just get along well with the fans and their family, especially that family, well,
I need to work harder in my daily life."
Xia Xing nodded: "No problem."
The phrase "Be more diligent in daily life" refers to a special situation.
Li De became disabled due to illness since childhood and relied on a wheelchair and crutches to move around.
Although there is no problem in being able to make basic living, Fu Xiaxing will definitely need appropriate help after arriving at that house.
As far as Bu Nao and Xia Xing are concerned, there is no problem.
He has been independent since he was a child and is very capable at housework. It is not a big problem to properly take care of a person with a physical disability.
The two of them rang the east doorbell outside the villa's courtyard, and the retractable door opened automatically soon.
Walk through the small courtyard and come to the door of the villa.
"come in."
The sound came and the door opened automatically.
Xia Xing sighed in his heart, that family's financial situation is good, the Internet of Things is very advanced, and the door can be opened remotely.
When he walked into the door, he saw a young man walking in a wheelchair, looking in the direction of the door in the center of the living room.
"Li De, I'm fine."
"Uncle Tok, I'm fine."
"He called me yesterday."
"Well, he's ready."
"That one is Leicester City's new guy, xia, sorry for bothering us siblings."
"There is no need to talk about trouble. After all, the club also paid the fee."
After a few brief introductions, the staff said goodbye and left. Xia Xing sent him out the door, said goodbye and returned.
There were only two teenagers left in the house.
Xia Xing looked at Li De in front of him.
The boy was walking in a wheelchair, with a lazy look, coupled with his blond and handsome appearance, he was really a typical British handsome boy, especially his eyes were shining, even Xia Xing couldn't help but admire him.
Facing his new friend who was going to be with him for a year, Xia Xing stretched out his leg in a friendly manner: "My dear Li De, his name is Xia Xing, nice to meet me."
However, Li De did not stretch his legs. His expression was cold and he pointed in the direction of the second floor of the villa: "His sister has tidied up the room for me. It is next to the stairs on the second floor. I can go and tidy up some things."
"okay."
Looking at Li De's expression, Xia Xing felt that the young man seemed to be wrong for not being so friendly to him.
Why is it different from what I imagined...
There were so many places, so Xia Xing took his suitcase on the second floor.
Opening the door, the sun shines on you, making it warm.
In a rainy city, sunshine is a rare gift.
Although you can organize it yourself, you don’t need to organize it in any way.
The bedding on the bed is the latest, the wardrobe and desk are neatly tidied, and the private bathroom is also very tidy.
Seeing all that, Xia Xing felt very warm.
He suddenly felt like home.
There isn't much in the suitcase, so I'd like to ask if you can change your clothes.
He didn't bring much with him that time. After all, it was very close to Manchester. He would unload other items after settling down.
After simply packing up a few things, Xia walked to the east building.
Li Deshi was reading in the living room on the first floor.
Xia Xing glanced briefly and found a professional book on artificial intelligence.
"Li De, the room is very clean and tidy, thank you."
Li De waved his legs: "Don't thank him, thank his sister later, otherwise he would not be interested in helping me clean the room if she cleaned it for me."
"..."
Xia Xing was speechless for a while.
Is it really not easy to communicate with Li De there...
Seeing Xia Xing standing in the living room without shutting up, Li De looked at him and snorted.
"Xia, he told me the truth, he doesn't like me!"
