Chapter 1 Feeding
Leicester City has been unlucky recently. Their new head coach has obviously treated Leicester City as his own home and stuffed all kinds of people in. From the forward line to the logistics department, there are a lot of people who just eat and wait for death, and there are not many who can really play football.
This makes Leicester City's performance in the first half of this year described as terrible. To be honest, this year's Leicester City fans even doubt whether their home team is heading for relegation. Otherwise, how could they achieve the point where they lose whoever they play against and win whoever they fight against?
In the end, it was the players of Leicester City who were suspected of group sex that touched the nerves of the media and fans. Seeing that the first half of the season was already halfway through, the club could no longer tolerate it and fired the head coach. For no other reason, it was because the head coach was the father of the group sex players.
Although it is not uncommon for a club to fire a head coach, it is definitely unprecedented to fire one's own head coach in the middle of the season.
The result of such a desperate move was chaos throughout the team, and even instability in morale, which led to many players secretly looking for new clubs. At the start of the summer transfer season, half of Leicester City's main lineup was gone, which could be described as a supermarket sale at Leicester City.
Such a club simply breaks the hearts of the fans. Even the comments from fans on the official website say that they dare not watch the home team's games anymore. They feel that buying a package ticket to the King Power Stadium this year is simply challenging their own hearts.
So it was under this circumstance that Ranieri took over the mess of Leicester City, and he himself had just been kicked out by the Greek team. The club and the head coach were simply a match made in heaven, and both sides were extremely unlucky.
I just don't know if when these two meet, it will be a positive outcome or they will just be in the same boat.
No matter how unlucky it is, life still has to go on and games still have to be played. It's only half a season! So Leicester City announced a new head coach 12 days later, and Ranieri started teaching.
Just go to class. When Ranieri received the class notice, he almost slapped his head off! How should he explain to the management team of Leicester City that he has no assistant coaches or players? How should he teach this class?
It's like when school starts, the teacher finds out that more than half of the students have transferred to other schools, and the teachers for each subject haven't arrived yet, and there are no books, but the school still keeps asking you to hurry up and attend classes. What are you thinking about? Are you going to class to be lonely?
Ranieri was at his wit's end. He had been idle at home for eight months. You asked him to find players to fill the starting lineup? It would be better to hang a sign at the entrance of Leicester City Club to open it to the public.
So Leicester City actually did so, but there were a few professional players from other youth training camps. They saw the amateur players this morning and even fell down while running with the ball.
Seeing this scene, Ranieri took off his glasses in despair, wishing he was temporarily blind.
"How many more people are there?" Ranieri felt like he was about to become an emo. He rubbed his face and forced himself to raise his head, looking at the staff who were looking troubled.
"Not many left." The staff member said with difficulty: "Actually, it can't be said that there are not many left. There is still one left, but he probably made a mistake in the location of the application..."
Ranieri felt that his ability to understand might be a little problematic. He listened to the staff calmly and then asked in disbelief: "You mean, there is another applicant? But he came to the wrong place?"
The staff member knew this was ridiculous, but nodded anyway, and then added a special explanation: "Today's application also includes a physical examination, so we also specially prepared some food for the applicants to prevent them from being hungry... After hearing that there was food, he insisted on completing today's application test."
Ranieri certainly knew about the recruitment test. In fact, every applicant had to go through exercise and physical examination on an empty stomach, so it was not difficult to understand why the club would prepare food for everyone. But he certainly didn't expect that this would actually attract those who were just trying to get a free meal.
"And then?" Ranieri continued to ask with a bit of disbelief.
The staff member emptied himself and said with a look of despair: "He is the only one left. Should we test him?"
Although Ranieri was a little bit unbelievable, he finally said: "Since he is here, let him try it. Remember to give him a lunch when the time comes."
To be honest, although Rust City is a bit unlucky now, it is still a serious club after all. Its recruitment test is not just a simple dribbling test, and the club even invited several sparring partners to chase and intercept the applicants.
Ranieri looked at the information in his hand and found that the boy on the resume was only 16 years old, but he was already 187 cm tall, and his previous physical fitness test results were also very good. But when he really saw the person, he immediately doubted whether this kid was originally a print model, after all, he was too handsome.
“Can you introduce yourself?”
The young man who came in was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "My name is Eggsy, I don't have a last name, I'm an orphan."
Ranieri was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he looked up at the child in front of him. He had a bright smile on his face, as if he really didn't care at all that he was an orphan. He scratched his head embarrassedly and blinked his shiny black eyes.
"Um...why don't I start now? I'm kind of hungry."
Ranieri was a little speechless looking at the child's straightforward nature. He just nodded to signal Eggsy to prepare for warm-up, but Eggsy suddenly rushed out with the ball under his feet!
Just behind Ranieri, there were a few professional players who had performed well and were waiting for the results. When I saw Eggsy, I asked him about him, but knowing that he was a pure amateur with no football experience, I didn't have much expectation.
Now seeing that Eggsy actually started to attack actively after holding the ball, I felt that the opponent might have lost his brain.
"No way, he actually wants to take the initiative to attack?"
The whole audience was somewhat amused by Eggsy's proactive attack. You know, their test today was dribbling, and it was three professional players from Leicester City who were blocking the applicant! It was a 1v3 interception!
The previous applicants either relied on their speed to get by alive, or relied on accurate long-range shots to avoid breakthroughs, but this Eggsy was actually thinking of taking the initiative to attack when the opponent had far more people than him?
Isn't this funny?
"Is this the speed?"
Several professional players on the sidelines couldn't help but speak with sarcasm in their tone. In their opinion, Eggsy's speed with the ball was not very fast. If it was faster, it might be interesting. But now... they were treating Eggsy as a joke.
Although the three professional players on the opposite side were not optimistic about Eggsy, they still did not underestimate the enemy. They blocked Eggsy's three attacking positions from three different defenses, basically blocking all his attack routes.
It can be said that now everyone in the audience is waiting to see Eggsy's helpless situation, and no one has any expectations for him.
But no one expected that when the opponent stretched out his leg to hook the ball away from his feet, Eggsy's whole body center shifted slightly to the right for a moment, just like performing magic!
Ranieri, who was standing on the sidelines, saw his eyelids twitch, and then he stared at Eggsy's movements with eyes wide open!
It seemed that Eggsy didn't use any strength. He just lightly pushed the ball to his right and perfectly avoided the interception of the opponent's outstretched foot.
This deviation allowed him to perfectly make an arc in front of the three people, and in the process, caused the first person who attacked him to lose balance and fall to the ground due to Eggsy's movement.
In Ranieri's opinion, the moment Eggsy made a move with the ball, the football seemed to come alive, and under Eggsy's feet it was like a puppy spinning around his legs. The remaining two sparring partners now put all their energy into blocking Eggsy in the middle.
What about Eggsy? Facing the double-sided attack, he didn't panic at all. He suddenly tightened his left and right feet to directly clamp the ball, followed by a jump and directly passed the opponent, and directly shook off the second person who intercepted him like a juggler!
"What, what is that?"
"Passing?"
The players waiting for the result on the sidelines were all shocked! Was he jumping up and dodging with the ball between his legs? This move was amazing, I had never seen it before! Where did this Eggsy come from?
Was he kidding when he said he came in through the wrong door to apply for the job?
At this time, not to mention Ranieri, the staff who brought Eggsy in were also dumbfounded! If the first time he knocked someone down was a coincidence, then the second time undoubtedly surprised everyone present.
Those moves that Eggsy did just now didn't seem to be anything special, just picking up the ball, hooking the ball, and clamping the ball. It looked simple and the speed wasn't very fast, but why did it feel like I couldn't touch the ball when I stood opposite him?
"It's impossible for him to have a third one..."
Before he could finish his words, the only remaining professional player just met Eggsy, and then Eggsy suddenly picked up the ball, and passed the defensive players in two directions with the ball, easily bypassing the opponent's defense line.
This time, not only Ranieri saw it clearly, everyone present saw Eggsy's action clearly from beginning to end! Eggsy didn't even let the opponent touch the ball, and he easily broke through three people with the ball. After he completed the breakthrough, he shot the ball without any hesitation and scored without any suspense.
“…”
Everyone in the audience felt it was incredible, and those with profound Taoism were even surprised beyond words.
Of course, it wasn't just Eggsy's dribbling moves, but even veterans like Ranieri could see that Eggsy's moves had not been trained at all, and every move and every dribbling move was an instinctive reaction!
His movements and body reaction speed are simply astonishing, he is definitely a talented player!
At this moment, the staff member who brought Eggsy in seemed to suddenly remember something. When he brought Eggsy in, the other party asked him a question.
"What is your standard for dribbling past an opponent? I have never played football, so I don't know."
The staff was in no mood to explain too much to him at the time, so they just said vaguely: "Don't let anyone touch your ball, and then you just have to shoot the ball into the goal frame."
It sounds simple, but I didn’t expect that Eggsy could do it... It seems quite simple too?
"…What did you say your name was?"
Ranieri looked at Eggsy, his eyes almost glowing.
"Eggsy, sir." Eggsy trotted forward, blinked his eyes, looked at the gray-haired Ranieri and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Can I go eat?"
"Oh, go ahead." Ranieri couldn't control his joy at this time, and his face was almost covered with chrysanthemums. He watched Eggsy run to the restaurant with a happy face, and he shouted to Eggsy: "Tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and it will be charged to my account."
"Thank you, sir!" Eggsy's pair of black pearl eyes almost sparkled with little stars after hearing what Ranieri said.
The staff watched from the sidelines. Ranieri, who never paid for anything, actually treated them to a meal? The staff suspected that the head coach next to them might be fake, but they still asked, "Are you really going to sign him, sir?"
Unexpectedly, Ranieri was already grinning from ear to ear. He nodded seriously, feeling that today's mood was particularly sunny and bright. He said to the staff: "How can this be a dinner treat? This is talent feeding him!"
