Chapter 104: Tottenham Hotspur (I)
On the other hand, Leicester City has been playing against either Manchester United, Chelsea, or Liverpool. This is a typical drama of a dark horse fighting against the Premier League giants. Even now, Premier League fans have not gotten tired of it.
Moreover, Leicester City is now stronger when facing strong teams and stronger when facing weak teams. This style of play is very exciting from the perspective of the game, but from the perspective of the players, it is a forced upgrade. Any player who is a little bit slow or can't keep up will definitely be replaced.
When Eggsy went shopping for the second time, he found that two defenders had been replaced on the back line. He saw them drop from the starting lineup of the first echelon to the substitutes of the second echelon. The defender watched them go shopping eagerly. He understood the other party's expectations in his heart, but reminded himself to seize every opportunity.
After that, Eggsy would give himself extra meals almost every day. Although double training could refresh his physical fitness and keep him in competition form, it was also boring. Whenever he was tired from training, he would read a book to relieve his physical fatigue.
This made Eggsy's grades strangely among the best in the grade, and even the homework he handed in was perfect.
Although the professors were suspicious of Guo Ta at first, wondering if he had hired a ghostwriter or something, Eggsy was the kind of student they didn't expect. After all, so far, no student would make a video call and start asking all kinds of questions with the questions or projects.

Everything is going on steadily, but the British media has entered a transitional stage regarding Eggsy. It seems that praising Eggsy now does not attract much traffic and attention, and people have to say something weird.
For example...
"... Judging from the level of enthusiasm between Eggsy and Real Madrid players, Eggsy must be interested in approaching Real Madrid La Liga players. The injury against Arsenal last time made Eggsy quite wary..."
Captain Morgan likes reading newspapers very much now, and he picks up a copy of various newspapers when he comes to the club every day. Then he likes to read the newspaper while doing body stretching or taking a break.
His hobby is reading things related to Eggsy. Sometimes when the tabloids write too exaggeratedly, the other players can't help but laugh.
"Oh~ my lovely Eggsy, are you scared?"
“Maybe I’m really scared, hahaha~”
The teammates laughed and didn't take it seriously at all. Eggsy also laughed speechlessly and said something fair: "I am still really scared, but I don't want to do it again."
The teammates smiled, and then Captain Morgan suddenly sat next to Eggsy and asked earnestly, "Hey, are you going to the club party this Christmas?"
This question made Eggsy stunned. What month is it now? It's still summer. Why is the captain asking this question now?
However, Eggsy is not the kind of confused young man. Since the captain can ask such a question, the question itself is probably not very important. What is important may be the meaning of the question.
It took only a few seconds for Eggsy to react. He smiled and whispered sincerely to Captain Morgan, "I haven't spent Christmas at the club yet. Of course I want to come."
After receiving Eggsy's answer, Captain Morgan smiled and nodded without saying anything more. However, Eggsy felt that the captain was asking such questions, probably because he had been too close to players from other clubs during this period, so he should be more careful in the future.
But just after finishing the small talk, Eggsy and his teammates had to get ready and start training.
After warming up today, Mr. Ranieri asked them to form groups of three and start training everyone's fighting ability.
The so-called resistance ability actually means letting the other two players constantly collide with your body while you are running, dribbling, and carrying the ball. This kind of training is actually to better adapt to the collision of the opponent during the game.
After all, the next team they will face is Tottenham, a veteran player known as the three-pronged team in the Premier League.
In the evening tactical class, Mr. Ranieri also gave everyone a tactical lesson on Tottenham. Tottenham's attack was indeed continuous, and their long forward line could score a goal as long as they could find a point and push the ball directly into the goal.
But this tactic of Tottenham is only suitable for fast attack, so Tottenham needs to quickly grasp the ball. The possession of the ball is the patent of the midfield, and compared with Tottenham's midfielders Eriksson and Eggsy, Eggsy's coverage and dribbling ability are obviously much better than the opponent.
Moreover, Tottenham’s biggest problem is that they cannot break through dense defense. When facing teams one or two levels lower, the team can still create opportunities through set-piece attacks and score goals with Harry Kane’s personal ability.
However, Mr. Ranieri did not blindly think that Tottenham would not correct this mistake. In fact, he also gained a lot of experience from previous games. In the past, he had over-trusted the characteristics of other clubs' tactics in his tactical arrangements, which led to his own tactics being insufficient.
After learning this lesson, Mr. Ranieri became even more aggressive, and brought the coaching staff with him! Now he not only has to come up with a plan, but also two sets of plans, which is typical of trying to push Leicester City's human configuration to the limit.
For Leicester City fans, this Tottenham game is unusual. The first is that this is already the end of the season. Leicester City only needs two games at most to win the championship, so everyone wants to see whether this dark horse can win the championship trophy.
And all the players know that the odds of Leicester City winning the championship have become frighteningly high in the major black market casinos. At the beginning of this year, Leicester City's winning the championship was still the biggest upset, and the odds were also the highest.
Now Leicester City's handicap has already been locked, and now everyone is watching whether Leicester City can really win the championship.
However, there was no pressure on Leicester City, except that the club's security had been strengthened. Because Tottenham Hotspur were playing away this time, Eggsy and his team still wore their home blue uniforms.
"Eggsy," Mr. Ranieri finally looked at Eggsy, the 190cm tall boy, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Pace yourself in this game, and remember to conserve your energy."
Eggsy looked at Mr. Ranieri and nodded, "I understand sir."
"Okay," Mr. Ranieri patted Eggsy's shoulder vigorously. Although he tried to look serious, he couldn't help but wink at Eggsy. Then he clenched his fist and whispered to Eggsy, "Come on!"
Eggsy suddenly felt that Mr. Ranieri was really cute, so he couldn't help laughing, and then walked out with the other teammates.
At this time, Leicester City's home stadium was already bustling with people. All the fans were already excited by the host's warm-up and the music, and even more so when they saw the rosters of both teams.
Before this game, some media said that Eggsy might not appear in the starting lineup because he had a head injury before. These reporters actually dug out the news that Eggsy had a concussion from the relevant personnel in the hospital.
Therefore, these media will criticize some fans on the grounds that Eggsy will not appear in the starting lineup, saying that Leicester City will stop in the top three and will not be able to win the championship.
[Otherwise it would not be Leicester City's dark horse, it would be Leicester City's miracle! ]
This is how the media and the host of the live broadcast mocked it at the time, saying that the night in Istanbul was also a miracle, which means that Leicester City should not expect a miracle like Tottenham or the subsequent Manchester City massacre.
This news made many Fox City fans very angry, but they were also really worried that Eggsy might really have some physical injury and be unable to play.
In fact, whether you are a real fan or a fake fan, you can see that Eggsy is now the core of Leicester City. If Eggsy is not at the center of Leicester City, it would be half paralyzed.
"Number 19! Eggsy!"
When the long list really appeared, it was the host of Leicester City who discovered Eggsy's name faster than them. When he shouted out Eggsy's name passionately, the whole audience almost burst into screams!
Eggsy appeared in the player tunnel of the stadium at this time, and it was obvious that Eggsy's hair was cut short, revealing a lot of his smooth forehead. Because he heard everyone calling him, when he looked up at the camera in the player tunnel, the gold in his eyes really made everyone's heart beat violently.
"It's already now," the host's voice rang out on the court, "I get so excited when I see Eggsy's golden eyes!"
Hearing the host's words, Eggsy couldn't help laughing. He and Vardy were still talking about something, and then they both laughed at the camera in the player's tunnel.
The Tottenham players on the side couldn't help but laugh, but to be honest, they were also looking at Eggsy with anticipation. However, Eggsy just smiled a little shyly until Tottenham midfielder Eriksson came out and stretched out his hand, apparently wanting to shake hands with Eggsy.
Eriksen from Denmark is not a simple character either. He has been in the Premier League for such a long time. His grandfather knows that he is not as good as Eggsy in age and physical strength, but he may be slightly better in experience.
But this did not prevent him from admiring this young man, the more he came over and took the initiative to extend his hand, saying: "I hope we will have a wonderful game today."
Eggsy immediately reached out and shook the other's hand and said, "Okay, I hope so too."
When Eggsy said this, his eyes became even more golden. Ericsson looked at his slightly red cheeks and immediately knew that this little guy was probably a little embarrassed.
...It's kind of cute~
Ericsson thought so and laughed.
