31 31: Request!

In a blink of an eye, four days passed.

Leicester City ushered in the game again.

It's just that this game was a matchup in the League Cup, and Leicester City played against a team from League One, Bury F.C.

Faced with such a team, Ranieri almost rotated the entire team.

He sent all the substitutes and the players of the U23 team out to face this game.

Players like Vardy and Okazaki Shinji did not appear on the bench.

Not to mention Rocky, whom Ranieri regarded as a baby.

It happened that Rocky had been busy as people coming from India to make documentary on him. With a big wave of his hand, he gave the main players of the first team a day and half leave to let them have a good rest.

And the result of this game naturally did not overturn.

At Bury's home, Leicester City won the game with a score of 1-4 and easily advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

The only thing worth mentioning was that Kante, who could only play off the bench before, started this game and played the whole game.

With his small stature but strong physicality, he almost dominated the entire midfield.

Of course, unlike Rocky, who ruled with his own passing, Kante ruled with his one interception, tackle and defense.

This made Ranieri, who was standing on the coach's bench, thoughtful.

He began to ponder the possibility of both Rocky and Kante starting.

Rocky feeds and passes the ball in the frontcourt, and Kante acts as a scavenger in the backcourt to protect him.

If such a midfield combination really can be achieved.

Leicester City even has the possibility of hitting the top four in the Premier League.

....

On August 29, the fourth round of the Premier League.

Bournemouth played against Leicester City at home. In this game, Ranieri did not use the partner of Rocky + Kante, but was conservative and continued to use the original starting lineup.

Anant Tyagi, Mayanti Langer, Seema Jaswal, and the rest of the filming staff also dipped in Rocky's light and followed him into the dressing room of Leicester City.

They even filmed the scene where Ranieri arranged tactics and lectures, which made Anant excited.

Of course, all this was with the consent of the Leicester City club.

After all, the owner of Leicester City, as a native of Thailand, naturally knows how huge economic strength India has.

But, the main reason was to give Rocky a face infront of his countrymen, though he never ask for it.

However, the score of this game was not ideal.

Leicester City had their first draw of the season.

The 1-1 score was maintained until ninety minutes, and Leicester City stopped its winning streak.

Bournemouth's goal came in 35 minutes, with their striker Wilson scoring a goal through a corner.

On the Leicester side, in the 60th minute of the second half, Rocky assisted Drinkwater to score a long-range shot, but there was no success after that.

This made Anant, who was sitting in the stands, feeling depressed. When he didn't come to Leicester City before, Leicester City won consecutive battles.

Why did Leicester City get their first draw after coming to Leicester City?

But Langer and Jaswal didn't think so much.

What they care more about was the love and support of Leicester City fans for Rocky.

From the beginning of the game, the Leicester City fans had been shouting Rocky's name.

In addition, when Leicester City scored a goal, Leicester City fans sang their team song.

Then, the interview session at the end of the game.

They interviewed Leicester City fans of different ages, genders, etc.

But without exception, they all consider Rocky to be their team's most valuable asset.

The best signing of the season.

Especially after these fans learned that the young and beautiful reporter in front of them was actually doing documentary on Rocky.

They all gave thumbs up.

"Rocky!"

"Thank you all!"

These brief thanks or compliments were all spoken in Hindi by Leicester City fans.

Hindi. National Language of India.

This made Langer and Jaswal feel incredible.

Mainly Leicester City fans, they basically know a thing or two about Hindi.

I'm fact, this is something trivial. After all, there are many Indians in England.

This was the first time they have seen that a star from India can make such a big impact in the biggest sport, Football.

Sunil Chhetri who was known as Messi of India, won't worth a penny here in international leagues.

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During the month, Rocky played four more matches.

With three league games and one League Cup, Rocky helped the team achieve a four-game winning streak.

In four games, Rocky provided two assists and one goal.

Although it looks like Rocky's numbers had dropped.

But these were the stats that Rocky had been focusing on in every game, even with all kinds of violations and fouls.

According to the data, in these four games, Rocky accumulated 30 fouls and 43 violations.

After every game, Rocky's blue jersey will definitely be stained with grass juice or mud.

This makes fans feel distressed and proud.

Now Rocky had obviously been treated by a first-tier star.

"Today is our last day of filming."

"Just to film your tough match against Arsenal."

"However, Rocky, it's been so long, but today, I've something to ask of you."

"Will you ever play for the national team?"

In Rocky's house, Anant, who drank a few more glasses of wine, looked at Rocky and asked a sensitive question with hopeful eyes.

"....."
