Chapter 120: First Show (Part 2)
Eggsy was so nervous that of course Ronaldo started to worry a little. He even became a chatterbox and stood in the player tunnel talking to Eggsy, trying to distract him but it had little effect.
C Luo gently patted Eggsy's face, pinched Eggsy's face maliciously, and was angry that Eggsy was too immature and nervous, but he couldn't bear to say anything, so he could only rub Eggsy's hair helplessly, and then said: "Remember to pass the ball to me."
Although Eggsy's mind was blank due to nervousness, he remembered what Ronaldo said when he pinched his face. He had to pass the ball to Ronaldo and feed him the ball. These two sentences were like an infinite loop in Eggsy's mind.
Modric on the other side was looking at Eggsy the whole time, and he knew that the kid was getting nervous when he saw his body stiff. But he didn't go forward to comfort him, and even stopped Ramos when he was about to go forward to comfort him.
"What's wrong?" Ramos looked at Modric a little strangely. Although Modric was holding Ramos, his eyes were still looking at Eggsy. Ramos didn't believe that Luca was not worried about the little guy.
Modric did not answer immediately but thought about it, then turned to Ramos and asked: "He was nervous because of the derby this time, what about next time, and the next time?"
Ramos understood Modric's intention by hearing this, and Modric continued: "Isn't that guy in Real Madrid carrying a heavy burden? Everyone has their own pressure. We can't stop him from facing these things just because he is with us."
Ramos smiled and nodded after listening: "You are right, but Luca..."
Modric looked at Ramos calmly. Ramos considered his words before speaking: "If he doesn't do well later, you must control your temper."
Luka, the pressure monster, Modric took a deep breath, then tilted his head, a little afraid to look at Ramos directly and said: "Okay, I understand."
"Try your best?" Ramos was obviously not so easily fooled.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Modric glared at Ramos, which made Ramos laugh. He hugged Modric and kissed his forehead.
Many people are used to seeing this kind of interaction between the two, even if there are cameras in the player tunnel. Now the referee and the linesman have come on the field, and the players from both sides have collectively appeared on the Bernabeu field.
Before Eggsy came out, he almost lost his balance again, but luckily he adjusted himself when he came out. It was much better than the first time he came out, at least he was not dazed or numb.
Ronaldo couldn't help but look back at him, and then couldn't help but touch Eggsy's hair. The interaction between the two people was directly transmitted to all parts of the world because of the live broadcast.
"This is the young player Eggsy, who was bought by Real Madrid this year. Well, his name is Eggsy." The host got the list of new players and of course introduced them responsibly. "He is 17 years old, very young, and the best midfielder in the Premier League this year. I wonder how he will perform in his debut."
However, as the host was chatting, someone naturally echoed him: "Eggsy is very young, but I have said before that he has a very good relationship with Real Madrid's Ronaldo, Modric, and Ramos."
"Yes, we went out together before, and there was some interaction between us in the player tunnel just now."
"Yes, now it's time for both sides to reconcile their accounts and draw lots."
Ramos came up with the captain's flag to guess the coin, while the other players started warming up on the side. Eggsy was just stretching his ligaments when Modric came over. Without even saying a word, the two of them started stretching their backs in tacit understanding.
"Atletico Madrid attack first!" Ramos came back with the team flag, shrugged, and stroked his hair. Then he touched Eggsy's hair when he passed by.
“Do a good job!”
Eggsy was a little overwhelmed at this point, but he still licked his lips and nodded.
That's all there was before the game. After the two sides shook hands, they began to take their positions. Eggsy looked at Modric at this time, and suddenly he felt that being able to run wildly on the court with the three of them was really worth it!
When the whistle sounded, Eggsy started to move forward quickly, and Modric and Eggsy exchanged glances and quickly followed. Real Madrid's fast defensive system made Atletico Madrid, who had just started running, encounter interceptions before even passing half the court.
At this time, Eggsy was looking at Atletico's midfielder Thiago. The Portuguese player didn't run very fast, but he had a strong ability to break through. At this time, Eggsy had only one thing in mind: Don't let Modric down! Don't let Modric down!
So in the 15th second of the game, Eggsy blocked Thiago. Are Atletico Madrid players so easy to intercept?
It can be said that if Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid really get into a fight, it will not be a game of football, but a fight to the death!
Therefore, Thiago did not give Eggsy any room to prepare to display his skills. He just broke through head-on and then engaged in physical confrontation!
Although he came from the Premier League where his skills were a bit rough, Eggsy didn't expect Atletico's breakthrough to be so brutal! Not only was he knocked over, but the linesman didn't even blow the whistle!
"Oh~~~" The host looked at Eggsy's failed interception on the court and said bluntly: "You are too young! You are still too young."
Another host said directly: "Eggsy is still inexperienced. He is too young and has no blood. His true colors will be revealed in another league. He is too well protected in the Premier League and relies on his teammates to support him. Now he has hit the rookie wall."
Although Eggsy immediately got up and started chasing, the left line where he was left out had already given Atletico a chance. Atletico's striker Correa took the lead and started running wildly, ready to receive the ball from Thiago!
This was Eggsy's mistake alone, as Real Madrid's goal was attacked by the opponent within just 2 minutes of the opening!
While Eggsy was chasing, he could hear the boos from the Real Madrid fans around him!
From the first match till now, Eggsy had never encountered such treatment before! He immediately gritted his teeth and ran wildly to catch up with Tiago to save this negligence!
But Atletico Madrid will not let go of this mistake. Thiago ran as fast as he could and then passed the ball directly to Torres who was also running!
"Torres! No. 9 Torres has re-entered the Real Madrid penalty area!"
Even if Eggsy ran at his fastest speed, he couldn't catch up with Torres, and defender Ramos was rushing over, and Marcelo on the other side was also approaching quickly to intercept the ball!
Torres knew that once he was entangled by the Real Madrid defender, it would be more difficult to score this goal, so he had to quickly increase the frequency of his steps. While running at a high speed, he also looked at the Real Madrid goal. When he just crossed the penalty area line, he took the right step and shot!
"WORLD WAVE!!!!!"
The host's shout made Eggsy, who was chasing madly, feel a little nervous. He saw Torres' ball heading straight for the goal, and goalkeeper Navas rushed out to try to intercept it. Unfortunately, there was a certain error in the direction he estimated!
Just when everyone in Real Madrid was helpless, a fast-attacking figure suddenly appeared. When Modric rushed out, he even stood in front of the goal line with Navas. He watched him fly out and kick the ball out with his foot!
"Beautiful! Modric! Modric blocked the ball beautifully!!"
Just as the hosts were praising him, they saw Modric, who had already fallen into his own goal on the field, quickly got up and yelled at Eggsy who was rushing over!
"Can you do it? This is a competition! Not playing house!"
Eggsy was frightened by Modric's roar and froze on the spot. The other players who were rushing over saw Eggsy's behavior and immediately came over to help pull Modric away.
To be honest, Eggsy had never seen Modric so angry. He was completely frightened, his eyes were wide open, and he looked full of grievance.
But Modric didn't show any mercy to the little guy's aggrieved look. He directly shook off his teammates, rushed up and grabbed Eggsy's face, and used brute force to make Eggsy stick to his forehead. Modric glared at him angrily and said, "What are you doing?! Are you awake?"
At this time, Eggsy's originally light golden eyes quickly turned black. He looked at Modric and said with a trembling voice: "I just... don't want to disappoint you."
After hearing this little voice, Modric suddenly walked to his position angrily. In fact, with Modric's character, if it were someone else, he would probably be scolded again, but now he has controlled it.
In order not to scold Eggsy, he tried hard to control his emotions and turned around and left!
But this made Eggsy think that he had completely disappointed Modric.
Eggsy's eyes turned red, tears welled up in his eyes but he didn't want to cry on the court, so he bit his lower lip, took a deep breath and started running back to his position.
Zidane, who was watching on the sidelines, was also looking at Eggsy. There was no longer the previous laughter or friendliness on his face. Instead, after Eggsy passed by, he said something in a voice that Eggsy could hear.
"If you do that again, I'll replace you."
Eggsy didn't know what to think at this moment. He endured it, forced himself to run, forced himself to look back at his own serve in the direction of the goal, and then ran over quickly.
"Modric got angry." The interaction on the court could not be concealed at all, and the host and some fans who were closer heard his roar. But for the host, this was not surprising: "Modric seemed to change once he was on the court, and he was quite serious."
"It is precisely because of his seriousness that he can achieve good results." Another host echoed, "But their new young player did make a big mistake this time. I don't know if he can adjust."
"Oh, Real Madrid has started to attack." The hosts looked at Eggsy, who was wearing the No. 14 white jersey, and said half-jokingly, "Let me wait and see the revenge of this young player?"
