Chapter 161 La Liga: vs. Real Sociedad (Part 3)
Now Real Madrid is being constrained by Real Sociedad at their home stadium of the Bernabeu. If this gets out, Zidane will probably be overwhelmed by the pressure of subsequent games, the questioning of fans, and the accountability from the management.
What's more, the player wearing the captain's armband on the field now is the 17-year-old Eggsy. This instability makes Zidane's heart pound!
Eggsy was standing on the court at this time, and he kept reminding himself to keep his mind clear and not get dizzy. He also looked at the entire lineup. When everyone saw him wearing the captain's armband, Eggsy raised his hand calmly.
"Everyone, try again and get one point!"
Eggsy looked at his teammates trying hard to raise their fighting spirit. Eggsy was quite tall but his face was still too childish, so when they saw Navas they just laughed, and then defender Carrasco also laughed.
Eggsy blushed as he looked at them and smiled. Carrasco and Navas smiled without any malice, and Navas even said with a smile: "Don't let the smallest player on our team think that you can't lift it when you come up!"
"Cherish the opportunity to be on stage today." Carrasco said seriously, "Otherwise, the loan list will not be far away."
I have to say these two sentences are quite thought-provoking. If there were still people in the second-line team who disobeyed Eggsy before, now they have to think about whether they want to be loaned out.
So Real Madrid was helped back into the car by three players and got back on track. However, Real Sociedad was in a more difficult situation than Real Madrid.
But Eggsy did not dare to be complacent, he knew that if he failed to nail Real Sociedad in the first half, the second half would be hard to predict.
In the end, he is young and can’t lead the team!
Eggsy can only try his best to break through Real Sociedad's defense now, otherwise he feels that he will not be able to hold on until the second half today and the situation will collapse first.
Of course, this is just Eggsy's estimate, and it is far from a real collapse. But Real Madrid's momentum is indeed not good now, and Eggsy has no time to mobilize because the game has already started.
Real Sociedad only had 10 players and started to charge, but this time Eggsy, like last time, started to press back and continued to play as a defender on the left. But Real Sociedad would not be so stupid this time to repeat the same trick and continue to attack Real Madrid's left.
But it was useless. Their forward kicked the ball to the half court, but was still blocked by the right back and center back. It was like an iron wall. It would be a waste of energy and time to continue attacking, so they could only go to the left back.
However, Eggsy was still able to defend them and they were unable to move. The most terrifying thing was that Eggsy tried very hard to intercept their ball.
It's really the kind that anyone with a discerning eye can see. Every time Eggsy kicks and steals the ball, it's very clean. It can be said that the fans know that he is deliberately avoiding places where he can hurt people. And if Eggsy fails to grab the ball, he will start rubbing his hair with both hands behind his head. It seems that the curly hair on half of his head is about to be bald because of himself.
"You can tell he really wants to score another point."
"Pressure, this is the pressure of the captain's armband."
The host was making fun of Eggsy, but Eggsy was really annoyed now. The first half was coming to an end. If he couldn't get a point in the first half to stabilize the situation, then...
Eggsy tied her hair up again and looked at the Real Sociedad in front of her with concentration and calmness. After receiving the ball from the defender, she started her charge.
This time Eggsy did not attack the wing immediately. He did not even run out of his own speed at the beginning. It seemed that he was attacking in a roundabout way. At this time, Real Sociedad was still afraid that Eggsy would pass the ball far away again, so this time there were three people keeping an eye on the new striker.
However, this time Eggsy did not rush to attack, but started to distribute the ball with several other wingers. It can be said that such a breakthrough made it difficult for Real Sociedad to succeed.
Eggsy definitely wants to attack, but the key is that Real Sociedad is not sure how he will attack. However, according to their data, Eggsy's chance of shooting is not high. It is said that he always gives shooting opportunities to the forwards because his shooting skills are not very good.
Besides, Eggsy can only shoot from close range; he has no chance from long distance.
But at this point, after Eggsy attacked the penalty area with the ball, he immediately started to pass the ball. This really dumbfounded not only Real Sociedad, but also Zidane.
What kind of trick is this?
At this time, do you still count on the No. 18 Mariano who just came on? He is being held down by three people and can't move at all! If you pass the ball to him at this time, it will be real...
Zidane was really nervous inside, but Eggsy's choice made him open his eyes even wider!
"Eggsy is speeding up!" The host's exclamation made the whole audience open their eyes wide and look towards the gate of Real Sociedad!
Eggsy had already made a diagonal cut into the center line, and just as he was about to approach the penalty area line, Eggsy kicked!
When Real Sociedad bet that this kick was a pass, they also reacted in this way. Several defensive players even stretched out their feet, trying to intercept the ball on its way, but Eggsy soon taught them what it means to face reality.
It is true that this ball was passed, but it was not passed to forward Mariano, but to Eggsy himself with 5 seconds left.
Although this move was very cool, it was the only way Eggsy could do. Eggsy wanted to break through the opponent's blockade in front of the penalty area, so he could only use this move. When he pushed the ball out with his inside foot, Eggsy expected that all the Real Sociedad players would go back to watch the game.
This way, no one would be watching him, and Eggsy quickly broke through the player who was blocking him. At this time, there was no defensive player between him and Real Sociedad, so he could only go straight in face to face with the goalkeeper.
And Eggsy didn't delay at all. He didn't even wait for the ball to land. The moment he rushed out, he had already decided to shoot and even knew the direction of the shot.
So when all the Real Sociedad players found that Eggsy passed the ball to them at an extremely fast speed, what they saw was Eggsy's volley and a beautiful shot with a straight ball from outside the penalty area line!
When Eggsy shot the ball into the goal, the whole audience seemed to be shocked at first. There was a silence for 2-3 seconds before they burst into cheers!
The Real Madrid players rushed up and hugged Eggsy, but Eggsy just breathed a sigh of relief at this time, then raised his hands high, one hand made 5 and the other hand made 2, which together made 7.
The only person related to 7 in Real Madrid is Cristiano Ronaldo. Eggsy gave this goal to Cristiano Ronaldo!
Others may not understand, but Ronaldo, lying in the medical room, saw the TV on the wall, which was broadcasting the game. When he saw Eggsy pass the goal to him, Ronaldo was moved and smiled.
Unfortunately, his ankle was affected, and he twitched again on the medical bed in pain.
The team doctor looked at Ronaldo holding his ankle with a bit of disdain and complained: "Why are you so excited? Don't you know you are injured now?"
At this time, Eggsy on the field had hammered the last nail in the coffin for Real Sociedad, with 10 minutes left in the first half. Eggsy and his teammates would not let Real Sociedad shoot even if they were blocking the goal, so the last 10 minutes were predictable.
When the first half ended, Eggsy bent down and took a breath, if for no other reason than that Eggsy had been the one directing the battle and encouraging his teammates for most of the first half.
Zidane then helped Eggsy to field a group of second-line players. Each of them was as weak as a frost-bitten eggplant, so when the halftime break was over, Eggsy sighed deeply.
Don’t be impatient, there’s still the second half.
After the halftime break, Zidane quickly gave Eggsy some lessons on captaincy. Cristiano Ronaldo, the fourth captain in the team, was supposed to be there today, but he was injured and retired. And according to the order at the time, there was no one left to hand over the captain's armband.
Ronaldo also considered that the midfield is the central nervous system that commands the entire team, so he gave his armband to the only midfielder in the starting lineup at the time, Eggsy.
Although this choice is risky, Ronaldo has chosen what he thinks is the best option. Zidane is only worried about Eggsy's age and leadership ability, but does not doubt his personal ability.
Fortunately, no other second-line players intend to "show off" themselves, and the starting lineup all supports Eggsy. For now, the ship is still stable.
At the beginning of the second half, Real Sociedad's attack became even more intense. The strength of this team is not high in the league, but they are willing to do their best to bring down Real Madrid.
Eggsy organized many defensive counterattacks in the second half, and shuttled back and forth between organizing offense and defense. Many times he went alone to assist his teammates in the offense.
However, Real Madrid's offensive power is not enough now. In these counterattacks, Eggsy has been the leader and even passed the ball to the wingers, but all of them missed.
That really made Eggsy's teeth itch!
How could the winger who made the mistake dare to look Eggsy in the eye? He could only lower his head and rush back to defense, but he felt that there was a sharp edge behind him and he didn't even dare to turn his head.
The hosts were all laughing: "In the first half, Eggsy was still strict with himself, and in the second half he was supervising his teammates. But compared to the first half when he was the only one doing it, it's obvious that he's getting more powerful now. His young players were so intimidated by him that they didn't dare to look at him."
"Although he's young, he's quite powerful. I guess they're also panicking. Eggsy has given up on defense and stopped feeding them. What should we do?"
"Hahaha, just coax him first! If that doesn't work...if that doesn't work, just go back to sleep!"
However, the game ended with Eggsy scoring 2 goals and 1 assist. Because in the last 3 minutes, Eggsy used his remaining energy to run a thousand miles, and a breakthrough shot scored a goal, which completely made Real Sociedad return home in disgrace.
At this time, someone in a dim room was watching the end of the game and the celebration of all Egg's Northwest teammates on the big screen.
And he pressed the remote control in his hand, holding the screen, zooming in, zooming in, and zooming in again...
Until I clearly saw Eggsy's arms stretched out when he cheered, they were clean. The wounds that were scratched and bleeding the day before yesterday were now gone.
