Chapter 27
When Rossi left the mall after a day's work, a car was waiting for him at the entrance of the mall.

"Mr Redknapp?"

Rossi was taken aback, he didn't expect that it was this famous coach who was waiting for him here.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I don't mind treating you to dinner."

Rossi thought for a while, then got into the car.

The restaurant is quiet and great for conversation.

"I'm treating you today. Congratulations on winning the championship." Lao Lei generously handed over the menu.

The price above is indeed not cheap, and Rossi ordered steak and noodles.

"Drink some? The wine here is good."

Rossi shook her head, "I don't drink, thank you!"

Lao Lei laughed and said, "Athletes drink less alcohol, which is good for their health. But it's not a problem to relax once in a while."

Seeing that Rossi didn't say anything, Lao Lei ordered two glasses of water.

"I'm on vacation, do you have any plans?"

Rossi said, "Work and earn money."

After hearing this, Lao Lei shook his head and said, "That's not okay. You're a player, you should spend some time training, otherwise you won't be able to bear it when next season starts."

It is still unknown whether he can enter the first-team list for next season. Rossi was worried about this, frowned slightly, and took a sip of water.

Lao Lei observed this detail and said: "If you participate in the Premier League as champions, all teams will not underestimate you. It is not as easy as imagined to avoid relegation."

For Lao Lei, who has coached the Premier League, his words are not alarmist.

And the facts have also proved that the task of relegation for the newly promoted team in the new season is very difficult.

Summer signings and quick adaptation to the rhythm of the Premier League are particularly critical.

"So, the pressure we face to relegation is very high. Under such pressure, how much playing time do you think the team will give you?"

Redknapp spoke calmly, but every word hit Rossi's vitals.

He is only a marginal player, because the team's strikers are tight, so he was transferred to the first team in an exceptional way.

With Vardy's return from injury, Nugent's strength, and the rise of Mahrez, Konokite, and Chris Wood have greatly squeezed his living space.

Moreover, it is not yet known what type of striker the team will introduce in this transfer window.

These are the spaces that threaten him on the team.

Redknapp said: "As far as I know, the chairman of your team is very ambitious and cares about the team's performance. Under such pressure, do you think you can be selected for the squad?"

These two consecutive questions made Rossi lose his appetite.

If you really can't choose, there are only two paths.

One is to be willing to sit on the bench and wait for an opportunity.

The second is to go to the English Championship or the League One team to exercise by means of loan.

"Then what do you mean today?"

Rossi already knew the purpose of Lao Lei's trip.

"Join my team and follow me in the Premier League." Redknapp's calm eyes suddenly became turbulent.

Rossi smiled and said, "Since you said that I am not even qualified to enter the team roster, why do you need a player like me?"

Redknapp's words were inconsistent and had to make Rossi suspicious.

Besides, the relegation task of the Queens Park Rangers is more difficult than that of the Leicester City team. What can they use to guarantee that they will give themselves a main position.

Redknapp said: "You are a talented player, you can have unexpected performances in the game, this is what attracts me."

In the league, Lao Lei's defensive strategy against Rossi has been perfected, but he is still miraculously performed by him, and the advantage that will be established will be wiped out.

"However, your talent has both advantages and disadvantages. If you use it improperly, not only will you not grow, but you will become more and more mediocre."

Redknapp drank his saliva and continued: "Nigel is a good coach, but his skills and tactics are not suitable for you, and the team's style of play is not suitable for you. Therefore, in the new season, even if you enter the first line team, but it’s hard to get a chance to play, even the roster is hard.”

What Redknapp said is by no means alarmist talk, but an objective fact.

"Since you think I have no chance in the team, what conditions will you give me?"

Hearing that Rossi was finally moved, Redknapp said: "If I promise you to start now, it must be a lie. However, you will enter my squad for the game and play in the cup. As for whether you can enter the league , depends on your performance."

Redknapp's words are very sincere and very real.

Not only will it give you an opportunity, but it will also let you know that this opportunity is obtained through your usual performance.

And these, the Leicester City team did not give.

Seeing a hint of excitement in Rossi's eyes, Redknapp struck while the iron was hot and said, "I'm old. In such a long coaching career, I have seen too many talented players, but I am alone, and my ability is limited."

"However, Luo, your appearance gave me confidence. You will become a great striker and a great player. I will definitely teach you carefully, and you need to wait no matter how much you have to wait. Don't be in a hurry."

Rossi believes that many of these words are from the heart. The best coach in the Premier League does not need to lie to himself.

"Sir, let me ask you a question, how is your old knee injury?"

Redknapp was startled for a while, not understanding what Rossi meant.

"Hehe, I'm always hurt, sometimes it bothers me."

When it comes to knee injuries, Lao Lei can't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

Rossi said: "Sir, your sincerity has moved me very much, and I am very grateful, but I still have to refuse you."

Disappointment was only on his vicissitudes of face, fleeting, said: "That's really a pity, I want to know what you think?"

Rossi said: "The current Queens Park Rangers team, you are the spiritual leader and the banner of the team. If one day, you no longer coach the team, you will not know what will happen to it."

Redknapp was a little surprised, and even felt a chill down his back.

Rossi said that he no longer coached the team. He was not fired because of poor performance, but because of his knee injury, he could not continue to coach.

As he got older, Redknapp suffered from knee injuries and his energy was not as good as before.

At the moment when the team beat Derby County and entered the Premier League, he couldn't support his knee anymore and fell down.

If assistant coach Ramsey hadn't been by his side, I'm afraid this fall would make him bedridden at home.

He originally wanted to lead the team well before retiring and gain a foothold in the Premier League, so he fell in love with Rossi and wanted to complete the best signing in his life at the end of his career.

However, at this moment he hesitated.

As Rossi said, the knee injury may make it impossible for him to continue coaching.

Then the promise I made to Rossi now will be in vain.

This is not a crime.

"Hehe, child, you are amazing." Lao Lei lost his spirit for a moment, like an ordinary old man.

"We're really out of luck."

Rossi is also a little sad. A coach who has a keen eye for him, exudes a personality charm that is really irresistible.

If it weren't for his injury, I would really follow him to London.

"Sir, thank you very much for your invitation. We have an ancient poem: If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with you, you won't be the same in the end. You are young."

"It roughly means that I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and go boating on the water with fine wine. But after all, it's not like the kind of spirit I had when I was traveling as a teenager."

Lao Lei smiled like a child.

Suddenly tears welled up in his eyes, and in the teardrops, the young faces were all children under his coaching, and their hard work on the field was vividly remembered.

"That's a good sentence, very appropriate." Lao Lei picked up the cup and said with a feeling of emotion: "Era always belongs to young people."

Although he failed to recruit Rossi, Redknapp was still happy to give him professional advice and technical guidance.

Rossi sincerely admires the ability shown by this famous coach.

Outside the restaurant, a black car parked for a long time, and a pair of eyes in the window stared at Rossi intently.
