Chapter 118 Jacket, you old boy cheated on me!
Robbins looked at Shen Xiao, who was hurriedly heading towards the locker room to "pee and escape", with a very complicated mood.
Because the better Shen Xiao is, as the head coach of Coventry City, Robins' heart becomes more excited.
As the head coach, how could Robbins not guess Shen Xiao's current thoughts?
From the beginning of this game, he knew that Shen Xiao was not going to play.
Because it was an ordinary English League One match, Shen Xiao also wanted to see how far Coventry could play without him.
Due to the "provocation" from the Portsmouth coach before the game, Shen Xiao asked to go on the field to fight back in the first half.
In the second half, Shen Xiao's teammates fought hard against their opponents on the court.
In the second half without Shen Xiao, they still relied on their overall strength to defeat their opponents with a score of 3:1.
Robbins is very satisfied with this result.
Robbins also believed that Shen Xiao was very satisfied with this result.
Because Robins knew what Shen Xiao was thinking, Shen Xiao wanted to know if his "home team" could continue to be so strong after leaving Coventry?
Fortunately, the result is positive!
However, Robins is still a little sad, because the team currently has three games and Coventry's season is over.
Of course, this means that Shen Xiao is very likely to leave soon.
At this time, Robbins felt extremely melancholy when he thought about this.
Just as Robbins stood there in a daze, a big hand gently placed on his shoulder.
"What are you thinking about, Robin?"
"Your team just beat us with 9 goals. Why do you seem to be more unhappy than me?"
At this time, Jackett said to Robbins with a smile.
Jackett's face at this time didn't look like the look he had after losing a big score.
"Alas! What else can you think of that could trouble me?"
"He's not the 'golden pimple' of our team yet. Time will fly soon..."
When Robbins saw that it was his old friend Jackett, he sighed at him with great melancholy.
"Oh? This thing! It's really annoying!"
"How about this, Robin."
"How about we both take the initiative to talk to him now and let him stay?"
"After all, he is still young, so what if a player like Shen Xiao can train in a lower-level league, right?"
At this time, Jackett said to Robbins, and then his eyes rolled quietly.
"Talk to Shen Xiao? Let him stay on his own initiative?"
"I said, old man, can this be done?"
"With Shen Xiao's strength, I don't think he should stay, so I never told him such a thing."
"But...if Shen Xiao can really stay, I will still be full of joy..."
At this time, Robbins' eyes lit up and he said to Jackett with some excitement.
"It's a very high possibility. If you didn't tell Shen Xiao, how do you know it's impossible!"
"So, I think we should go talk to him now! Really!"
At this time, Jackett continued to tease Robbins' nerves.
"Okay then! Old man, you have to help me keep Shen Xiao here for a while!"
Robbins was moved by what Jackett said, so he looked at Jackett with trusting eyes and said.
Jackett also gave Robbins an encouraging look.
At this time, Shen Xiao, who used "urine escape" to avoid the opponent's players from exchanging jerseys, was quietly staying alone in the locker room.
Because at this time, the players of the Coventry team, which had won a 9-goal victory, were showing off on the court "proudly".
Wherever there are more reporters and cameras, they will move closer.
Such a "face-y" thing, and since Shen Xiao is not on the court yet, Coventry's players should have a good time.
Therefore, in the Coventry locker room at this time, only Shen Xiao was left alone in the locker room, silently admiring his handsome appearance in the mirror inside.
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who is the most handsome man in the world?"
At this time, Shen Xiao looked into the mirror and asked with great narcissism.
"Of course it's you, handsome guy Shen Xiao!"
"Ha ha!"
At this moment, Robbins and Jackett pushed in the door and answered Shen Xiao with a smile.
"Oh, how embarrassing!"
Seeing the two Robbins come in, Shen Xiao's heart shivered and his cheeks turned slightly red.
"Haha, hahaha, am I just looking out for myself?"
"Two coaches, do you have any advice now...?"
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Shen Xiao quickly asked the two Robbins.
"Hahaha, Shen Xiao, long time no see, it feels like three autumns have passed!"
At this time, Jackett took the initiative to walk towards Shen Xiao, and then gave him a big hug.
Shen Xiao looked at Jacket hugging him in surprise. He didn't understand why this guy suddenly became so friendly.
Moreover, what Shen Xiao wanted to tell him was that we had only seen each other for a few minutes.
Besides, that’s not how idioms are used. If you, a foreigner, don’t understand, don’t deliberately say it like this just to trick someone.
Shen Xiao quickly and helplessly separated Jacket from his arms.
Robbins, who was standing aside, looked at his old friend Jackett with a moved expression.
"Old Jack, you are really interesting. You actually work so hard for my sake. I will definitely invite him to tea later!"
In his heart, Robbins was very grateful to Jackett.
After a while, Jackett and Shen Xiao sat down face to face.
"Shen Xiao, I came to see you today. I really have something to discuss with you!"
At this moment, Jackett said to Shen Xiao very solemnly.
After speaking, Jackett and Robbins looked at each other, and then they both nodded slightly.
"Coach Jackett, what's wrong?"
"Uh, and Coach Robbins, what are you two blinking at?"
Shen Xiao sat upright on the chair, and then asked the two of them very doubtfully.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. What I'm thinking is, Shen Xiao, can you continue to stay after this season?"
"Look, you are still very young, not yet 20 years old. You can still train in a low-level league."
"Next season, you Coventry... and our Portsmouth, although we lost this game, we have basically locked in our place in the English Championship!"
"Coventry won this game and are currently tied for first place with Rotherham, and we, Portsmouth, are third..."
"If you, at the age of 20, had another year of training in the English Championship, or directly brought the team to the Premier League, wouldn't it be very exciting?"
"So, Shen Xiao, I invite you to join our Portsmouth team next season!"
"As long as you can come, our team will formulate tactics around you, and we will also buy some strong teammates for you, how about that?"
"I believe that with you joining us, our Portsmouth team will have no problem returning to the Premier League!"
At this time, Jacket looked at Shen Xiao in front of him expectantly.
Shen Xiao: "..."
Robbins: "..."
"Haha, haha, Coach Jackett, are you really, really not kidding?"
At this time, Shen Xiao said to Jackett with great embarrassment.
Robbins became angry and shouted angrily at Jackett.
"Jackett, you old boy actually tricked me!"
