Chapter 168 Pixie's Big Gamble
On Monday, the Leicester City team held a pre-season press conference, attended by the new head coach Claudio Ranieri.

Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, Leicester City's two blockbuster news in the summer made the outside media not optimistic about their journey in the new season.

In the five friendly matches, although the Leicester City team achieved 4 wins and 1 draw, the team did not have a fixed starting lineup and played in a chaotic manner. The media questioned the ability of the famous Italian coach.

"Mr. Ranieri, congratulations on your return to the Premier League. It has been three weeks since you took over the team. What do you think of Leicester City?"

Ranieri smiled and said: "Great!"

"Then what are your goals for the new season?"

Ranieri said: "My task is to save the team from relegation."

Then he stretched out four fingers, and said slowly: "I think we can get 40 points, and we can reach the goal of relegation."

"40 points?" The reporter who asked the question was a little surprised, and there was even a trace of contempt in his eyes.

"Mr. Coach, the team created a miracle of relegation last season and only scored 41 points. Are you going to create a miracle this season?"

Ranieri shook his finger and said: "No, not everyone can create miracles. I just want to play every game well and let the team score 40 points."

Faced with the coach's low profile, the media will only think that he can only survive by "repairing" the lineup.

Now the outside world agrees that Leicester City will be the last team in the league, and Ranieri will be the first head coach to dismiss get out of class in the new season.

"If it's you, I personally think it's not difficult to score 40 points."

After the questioning media finished speaking, they sat down.

Everyone present knew that this sentence was meant to be ironic.

Another meaning of "Tinker" is also ironic that Ranieri can only mend, not employ people.

It can be seen from his coaching career that he has never won a top league championship.

"The first team roster you announced retains many of the main players from last season. What do you think of the old and new players?"

Ranieri said: "Obviously, it will be a little strange at the beginning. It can be seen from these friendly matches that the tacit understanding still needs to be cultivated. They are all professional players, and I believe they can do well."

"This summer, Rossi renewed his contract with the team. What are your expectations for his performance in the new season?"

Ranieri shrugged and said, "Ronaldo's performance has always been world-class. Last season he played only a dozen games and scored 8 goals. He will join the competition for the Golden Boot this season."

"You mean, Ronaldo can compete with Aguero and Kane for the Golden Boot?"

Ranieri said without hesitation: "Why not? If Ronaldo does not enter the top five scorers this season, I will tear up my coaching certificate."

A sneeze!

Rossi suddenly felt a chill and sneezed three times in a row.

"Luo, what's the matter, didn't cover the quilt last night?"

In Pixie's villa, Rossi rubbed her nose and said, "I don't know, but I suddenly feel chilly."

After drinking a large glass of warm water, Pixie was a little disappointed and said, "Luo, you're going back to Leicester in two days, please accompany me to the concert tomorrow night."

On the weekend, the new season of the Premier League is about to start, and Rossi must return to the team before Friday.

Participating in concerts is not a problem, but with Pixie's current popularity, it is inevitable that she will become the focus of the camera and the subject of interviews.

Seeing Rossi's hesitation, Pixie said angrily, "When you were playing football, you confessed your love to me in front of so many people. I don't see you being a bit embarrassed."

Rossi couldn't help but laugh. He is not afraid of tens of thousands of people, but how many media are he afraid of?
"Okay, I'll accompany you tonight."

Pixie clapped her hands happily and said, "That's settled."

She took a look at Rossi and said, "However, you have to change into formal clothes and look more handsome."

In the afternoon, the clothes were delivered, and Pixie had already figured out his size.

"Wow, you're pretty handsome after tidying up." Pixie's eyes lit up, and she said, "Although you were attractive when you were exercising, you are so attractive now that I dare not take you out."

While undressing, Rossi said, "That's the best, I'll watch the live broadcast at home."

"Try it!" Pixie threw him down, blushing suddenly, "Luo, your pectoral muscles seem to be... and much stronger..."

In the team's pre-match training, the trainer intentionally asked Rossi to add some muscle to ensure that he could adapt to the intensity of the Premier League without affecting his body's flexibility.

Now in his ability value, his strength is 65→70, and his stamina is 65→70.

The concert started at [-] o'clock on Wednesday night, but Pixie started preparing from the afternoon.

So Rosie played football for two hours outside the dressing room and read for an hour and a half.

"Ro!"

The curtain of the dressing room was opened, and Pixie, who was wearing a wine red deep V dress, highlighted all the places that should be highlighted.

With blond hair like a waterfall, elegant makeup, and a silver flower diamond necklace on her white neck, she couldn't take away the light from her eyes.

"Wow..."

Rossi couldn't help but let out a burst of surprise.

With a shy smile, Pixie puffed out her chest, took Rossi's hand, and proudly said, "You just said I'm beautiful!"

"No!" Rossi denied.

"Yes, you said it indirectly!" Pixie insisted.

Welcome to Wigmore Hall, 36 Wigmore Street, London.

As a world-renowned concert hall, it is famous for its special "shoebox" shape roof design.

This concert hall, loved by many musicians, has excellent acoustics and a small audience area, making it the best place to enjoy comfortable chamber music and piano recitals.

Although Pixie is a pop singer, she has a strong interest in classical, jazz and other music.

She will also play a piece in this concert hosted by the audience and participate in audience voting.

Pixie came in third, and she played Beethoven's "Moonlight."

Having received classical music training in Italy since she was a child, she played with confidence and full of emotion. After the end, the applause continued for a long time.

"awesome!"

After the performance, Rossi whispered a compliment.

The concert ended successfully, and Pixie's performance won No.3.

As a non-professional, this ranking is already remarkable.

Although the relationship between the two has long been exposed, the two have never appeared in public.

The two attended the concert together and instantly attracted the attention of the media.

After the award ceremony, it was media interviews. After some compliments, the media quickly changed the topic.

"Hello, Luo, the preparations for the new season have begun. The outside world has always believed that several teams in London will sign you, but in fact you are staying in Leicester City. What do you think about this?"

This media directly targeted Rossi, implying that several teams in London looked down on him.

Pixie is a popular British singer, and Rossi is just a young player who has just debuted. Many media find it difficult to understand the relationship between the two.

Pixie heard what they meant, and was about to get angry, but Rosie patted the back of her hand lightly to calm her down.

"I don't know who the London team you are talking about is. But every club has its own signing plan. The best players are not necessarily the most suitable."

"Just like music, the same notes can be arranged and combined to form many beautiful pieces of music, instead of just mixing them all together if the note sounds good."

Pixie showed a proud expression, her boyfriend's answer was perfect.

But the media still refused to let go, saying: "Luo, what do you mean, Leicester City will keep you as a team that can compete with strong teams and compete for the championship?"

"Why not?" Pixie couldn't bear it anymore, this was obviously finding fault.

Many home media off the field laughed.

Leicester City wants to win the championship, this is the biggest joke in football today.

They were still fighting for relegation last season, and they want to win this season?

"Miss Lott, you probably don't know." A reporter said with a hint of sarcasm, "Among the winning odds given by the gaming company, do you know what the odds are for Leicester City?"

Pixie didn't pay attention to these odds and shook her head.

"It's 1:5000!" The reporter laughed and said, "Do you know this concept? It's equivalent to holding the World Cup in Antarctica."

For a while, Pixie was a little embarrassed. She knew that it would be difficult to win the football championship, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.

But the words have already been spoken, and there is no way to take them back, so I had to continue to say forcefully: "Isn't it 1:5000, I will buy it tomorrow, and Leicester City will be the champion."

Pixie stretched out five fingers and said, "I'll buy fifty thousand pounds."

Rosie's eyes widened, and she looked at Pixie in disbelief.

"Luo is my boyfriend, and I support him with £[-], what's wrong?"

Pixie turned her head, pulled Rossi away from the media, and left the venue.
