Chapter 10 Getting Angry
Eggsy's goal really helped Leicester City turn the tables. They were already leading by 2 points in the first half, and it was not something that could be reversed easily.
Leicester City hasn't been so wealthy for a long time, especially when they were able to score two goals in the first half, which reduced the psychological pressure on all the players.
Of course, this does not mean that Leicester City can win, after all, there are many cases of overtaking in the second half.
Moreover, a big part of the reason why Leicester City was able to score unexpectedly in the first half was because Queen's Park did not take Leicester City seriously at all.
From the beginning of the game, they felt that Leicester City was already a twilight team. Although the players who came on were all main players and there were tactics, not many players felt that Leicester City could pose a threat.
So they didn't pay attention to Eggsy at first. After they knew how powerful Eggsy was, they wanted to pay attention to him but found that they couldn't control him at all! This guy was so slippery and when he ran with the ball, he was more slippery than a rabbit in the mountains!
Moreover, this guy's various defensive, offensive and dribbling movements are simply incredible. He seems to use everything he can to attack, using the inertia of running to tackle the ball, then running away immediately, or even stealing the ball from under someone's feet with his feet.
These moves are really...unheard of.
If the first two minutes were surprising because of Eggsy, then the next 38 minutes were a headache because of Eggsy's unexpected moves. It was not until he actually shot that he truly became Queen's Park's primary target of attack.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Queens Park started a counterattack. This time they really started a counterattack, and under this counterattack trend, Leicester City's defensive flaws were immediately revealed.
Although Eggsy has not played many games, he has watched a lot of videos during this period. He has also seen the defense of top giants and had one of the world's strongest midfielders give him lessons on the spot. It is estimated that there is no other experience like him in the world.
If we really talk about Leicester City's defense, it can only be described as terrible.
Defending him is not an individual matter, he is a manifestation of a defensive system, even if Leicester City has Huth, Morgan and Simpson.
However, Leicester City is currently missing one of their four defenders, and the player from the second team has replaced him, so their right line has always been a big shortcoming.
The players of Queen's Park were not stupid either, and they specifically attacked this weakness.
This means that Eggsy doesn't actually have to worry about the defenders' matters, but they can't just work hard to score goals in the beginning and then start to miss players in the end, right?
Therefore, everyone near the midfield has to return to defense more or less, which is equivalent to finding a side job for midfielders such as Eggesie, Mahrez, Kante and others.
When the defense starts, we must pay attention to returning to defense. Eggsy has been keeping an eye on Austin. As a striker of Queen's Park, he has always been the most threatening target.
But Austin is not stupid. The experience of having the ball intercepted by Eggsy with a sliding tackle was enough to make him be scolded in the locker room during the halftime break, so he would not be in a good mood when he saw Eggsy again.
When Austin attacks, he will use a lot of "body movements", either elbowing Eggsy in the face, or using his body to directly hit Eggsy's body.
Along the way, Eggsy was knocked around a little bit at the beginning by him, and Eggsy tried to avoid or dodge him carefully every time afterwards, but Eggsy still stood in front of him, which really made Austin furious.
He was anxious! He was anxious!
Of course, these body movements are inevitable in the game. As long as there is confrontation, such body movements will definitely exist.
Eggsy knew it, so he tried his best to protect himself and also stuck to Austin like a dog-skin plaster. Whether he was holding the ball or passing it, Eggsy didn't want to give the opponent a chance to shoot.
Seeing the time in the first half gradually disappearing and it was already the 41st minute, Austin no longer cared about so many things at this time. He rushed forward directly against Eggsy's defense.
Kanter has been keeping an eye on Eggsy, especially when he was guarding Austin.
When Austin attacked, Eggsy was still trying to intercept the ball, which made Kanter's heart skip a beat. He immediately gave up his defensive position and rushed forward to make up for it.
The first reason for doing this is that Austin is indeed important, and the other is that we are afraid that Austin will be forced into a corner and attack Eggsy!
The other players at Queen's Park were raising their hands, waiting for Austin to pass the ball, but Austin was entangled by Eggsy and couldn't pass the ball at all.
Especially every time when he wanted to pass the ball, Eggsy would always go around him and try to intercept the ball.
Austin couldn't pass the ball at this time. He wanted to attack the penalty area, but he encountered Eggsy, who was a weak opponent, and Kanter who was about to come on. He was really angry.
With time running out, Austin couldn't help himself. When he was trying to break through the blockade of Eggsy and Kanter with the ball, Austin swung his arm and directly hit Kanter's chest with his elbow!
Kante fell directly to the ground, curled up with his hands on his chest, unable to even scream in pain.
The linesman immediately signaled and the referee blew the whistle. Austin was about to raise his hands after he collided with someone, but was immediately startled by Eggsy who suddenly approached him.
“You did it on purpose!”
Eggsy almost grabbed Austin's collar and punched him hard!
If his teammates Shinji Okazaki and Vardy hadn't rushed over from behind and immediately grabbed Eggsy's arm and waist, his punch would have been in danger of hitting him.
"Eggsy!"
"Little guy, don't be impulsive!"
Vardy immediately pulled Eggsy behind him, but Eggsy still wanted to rush over and kept saying to Vardy and Okazaki Shinji: "He did it on purpose! I saw him hit Kante on purpose!"
Vardy and Shinji Okazaki looked over immediately. The pressure of being glared at by three people made Austin immediately raise his hands and step back, even intentionally retreating towards the linesman.
The other Queen's Park players quickly came over and separated Austin, and the Leicester City players did the same to separate Eggsy, who was still glaring at Austin and looked aggressive.
During the whole process, Shinji Okazaki held Eggsy's jersey from behind, for fear that Eggsy would rush up and beat the opponent.
Then Vardy and Mahrez came to coax him, one on the left and one on the right. Vardy even put his arm around his shoulders and advised him, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just score a few more goals against them!"
"Little guy, you will get a yellow card if you continue. Now they are committing a foul in the penalty area and we are serving the ball from the backcourt!"
The way Eggsy rushed out just now scared Vardy, who originally wanted to get angry with Austin.
He thought his temper was bad enough, but he didn't expect the little guy to be even worse than him!
"Your temper is hard to tell." Vardy rubbed Eggsy's head, and then he said earnestly: "If we don't hold you back, you won't really beat us up, right?"
Eggsy was still a little angry now, and looked at Vardy very seriously and said: "He went too far, ... Is Kante okay?"
Vardy nodded immediately, and then coaxed: "It's okay, look, he's fine now."
Eggsy looked up and saw Kant rubbing his chest not far away, making an OK gesture to him.
Vardy, however, was earnest in his words, as if he was educating a child: "He did it on purpose, so you must remember that you must not hit anyone at this time, otherwise both you and him may get a yellow card, understand?"
Eggsy saw that Kante was fine, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Vardy.
But when he thought of what happened just now, he glared at Austin angrily, and then whispered: "I just can't stand someone disregarding honor and doing this to the people around me."
Vardy was stunned by these words, and suddenly felt that Eggsy was really simpler than many people he knew.
Thinking about how ferocious the kid looked just now, as if he was about to show his teeth, he suddenly couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and reached out to rub Eggsy's hair.
"Go ahead, the game isn't over yet, we have plenty of time to settle the score with their goal!"
When Eggsy left, Vardy patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly he felt a sense of relief as if his own son had grown up.
He didn't know that Eggsy was really angry. As an orphan, he naturally valued the people around him. When he saw someone deliberately hurt Kant, he would naturally protect Kant.
This behavior changed the eyes of other Leicester City players. It was like their own little puppy was about to rush out and fight with the other person when he saw that he was hit. It was particularly heartwarming, and for Eggsy who was so sincere...
It's like the kind of care one would give to one's own kid or younger brother. I always feel like I have to keep an eye on this child.
Mr. Ranieri on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He originally thought that it would be the hot-tempered Vardy who would rush forward, but he didn't expect it would be Eggsy.
It's fine if Vardy rushed, but how old is Eggsy and why did he rush? It's like releasing the most ferocious little puppy in the family...
When he saw Eggsy trying to grab the opponent's collar, he almost cried out. Vardy and Shinji Okazaki ran fast and grabbed the little guy, otherwise he would be in trouble for a yellow card in the midfield.
The assistant coach at the side said without complaining, "I really didn't expect Vardy to go back and persuade Eggsy. Isn't he the one who never listens to advice in the past?"
These words gave Ranieri a headache. Thinking about the tempers of these two people, he probably had to find someone to keep an eye on them.
Looking back at the game, Austin's foul was in the penalty area, which was booed. The defending team originally served the ball from the backcourt, but Huth immediately passed the ball to Eggsy.
At this time, Eggsy exchanged glances mysteriously with Mahrez who was standing on the left line. Mahrez actually understood what Eggsy meant at a glance, and suddenly smiled and made a gesture to show that he understood.
So, this time Eggsy started attacking the right with the ball, while Mahrez started to advance from the left.
The sudden development of both fronts made it difficult for the midfielders and defenders of the women's park to cope with the situation.
Moreover, it seemed like Eggsy and Mahrez did it on purpose. If Eggsy held the ball and attracted most of the defenders, then Eggsy would pass the ball to Mahrez before the opponents surrounded him.
Mahrez also did the same thing, the two of them passed back and forth three times. The players of Queen's Park finally realized that these two midfielders were seriously playing tricks on them!
But even though you know she's playing a trick on you, you still have to chase her! I wonder if you're angry!
Vardy and Shinji Okazaki in front also attracted most of the interception force because of the back and forth passing, so they quickly positioned themselves successfully and entered the penalty area directly on two lines!
At this time, all the fans in the stadium and the rest areas of both teams began to get excited, because it was the last 44 minutes of the first half. Would Leicester City have a "countdown kill"?
