Chapter 165 Stolen Blood Sample
Vardy's action made Eggsy laugh, because this was what he often did to Vardy when he was in the Foxes. However, the two of them actually reversed their actions today, and Eggsy suddenly realized that this was Vardy's remembrance.
Is he still missing the days when they were together at Blue Fox?
Eggsy smiled and stroked Vardy's head, but Vardy arrogantly knocked it away.
"What are you doing! Don't touch my head. I'm not as tall as you."
“Hahahaha~~”
The two people playing around attracted a lot of attention, including Vardy's current teammate, Chelsea defender Cahill, and midfielder Loftus-Cheek. They were more or less a little surprised to see Vardy playing around with others like this, with a smile on his face.
Because when he was at Chelsea, Vardy always had a stern face, and he looked quite fierce, so few people who had just arrived at Chelsea dared to talk to him.
But now...
At this time, Chick cautiously approached his teammate Cahill and suddenly asked: "Aren't we going to play against Real Madrid tomorrow?"
"You said they were avoiding suspicion?" Cahill smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Eggsy was like that when he was in the Foxes. He could talk to anyone. His friends were all over the Premier League and La Liga. He was even questioned about whether he might be involved in a case because of his good relationship with players from Barcelona and Real Madrid."
Chick became curious and asked, "And then?"
Cahill smiled and said, "Now that person said Eggsy would cheat, he would be laughed at if he didn't avoid suspicion."
After hearing this, Chick couldn't help but look at Eggsy again. He really couldn't understand why others had to avoid suspicion, but why didn't this guy do that?
Cahill seemed to see Chick's doubts, and then said: "You can say it's a guarantee, or you can say it's charisma. If you have seen his game, you will know that his sincerity and truth can be shown in his technical movements, without any falsehood."
He only tackles the ball, does not make any other unnecessary moves when dribbling past the opponent, never commits fouls on his own initiative, and has no secret tricks to hurt people. If you say that such a player would fix a match, no one would believe it.
So no one mentioned this matter anymore.
But now, it seems to Chik that he really wants Vardy to introduce Eggsy to him. After all, in his opinion, this big boy with a sunny smile does make him feel a little good about him.
Of course, Cahill, as a defender, also had such an idea, but Jurgen Klopp, as a midfielder, was a little embarrassed. He actually had a good impression of Eggsy, but they might be competitors for the national team's starting midfielder this afternoon, and they would still be competitors in the club tomorrow. Could they still have a chat?
Chick was unsure, so he didn't rush to spend a thousand.
The physical examination has already begun, and all the players have focused their attention. According to the organizer's requirements, they did not eat or drink water in the morning to ensure that their bodies meet the requirements before the physical examination. Because there is also a blood test requirement this morning, everyone must strictly follow the regulations.
Eggsy and Vardy were chatting all the way, and the two of them went to the blood drawing site first. Eggsy watched very carefully, until he found that the blood drawn from him was a normal dark red color, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly and imperceptibly.
The nurses and staff at the blood test window were all wearing medical gowns and masks so they didn't communicate much. After drawing the blood, Eggsy and Vardy held the cotton that was used to plug the wounds on their arms and went out to continue with the next few projects.
By the time they came back from their busy schedule, it was already two hours later.
Eggsy thought he could go eat something with Vardy, but just as he was about to go, someone came over and asked everyone in the hall who Eggsy was. Eggsy and Vardy naturally heard it. Vardy was still wondering, and Eggsy also raised his hand to indicate that he was here.
"What's wrong?" Eggsy looked at Vardy beside him and asked, "What did we miss?"
The staff member came over and said, "The blood sample you drew earlier was lost. Please come with us to draw some more."
Although Eggsy was a little angry after hearing this, he was reluctantly ready to go with the other party. However, he was stopped by Vardy as soon as he took a step.
"Are you a staff member?"
The staff member who told Eggsy that his blood sample was lost was stunned, then took out his ID card around his neck and said, "It's me."
"What's wrong with you?" Vardy pulled Eggsy behind him and said, "How could you lose something like this? Drawing blood is not a trivial matter. Shouldn't you look for it carefully?"
The staff member looked at Vardy impatiently and said, "If Eggsy's blood sample is missing, there's nothing we can do. You don't want him to miss the game, do you?"
Valdi was stunned: "You mean, you lost the blood sample due to a mistake in your work, or did we interfere with your work?"
The staff member was still like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He gave up the debate with Vardy and turned to Eggsy and asked, "So do you want to do the blood test or not?!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you give up this blood test, it means you will also give up your qualification for the World Cup. I hope you will consider it for yourself!"
Vardy was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but Eggsy had already experienced this and became calm. It would be a lie for Eggsy to say that he was not angry when encountering such a thing, but he also knew how to protect it, so Eggsy made a phone call without saying a word.
Eggsy looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. He turned and walked to the corner. For a moment, no one knew who Eggsy was calling or what he was saying.
But the answer came soon, because before the minute was up, a man in a suit suddenly appeared. This man, about 40 years old, had a cold look on his face, as if he had been in a high position for a long time. As he arrived at the chaotic scene, all the staff on the scene dared not breathe.
Facing this man in a suit, everyone was not only surprised and shocked, but also looked at Eggsy in disbelief. After all, no one expected that such a thing would cause the regional chairman to suddenly intervene personally?
But in fact... the person Eggsy called was not the Chairman of the Football Association, because he called Cristiano Ronaldo. His original intention was to ask again what problems would arise if the blood test was missing from the physical examination for the World Cup, or if the blood test was not supplemented.
But he didn't expect that the chairman of the Football Association would personally take part!
When the chairman of the Football Association saw that the hall was not in its usual order, he frowned slightly and looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
Vardy immediately went up to the staff and told them that they had lost Eggsy's blood sample and now they were asking people to draw blood again. Drawing blood was not a big deal, but such a work attitude was really unsatisfactory!
The president of the Football Association did not answer Vardy immediately, but just glanced coldly, and someone immediately went to check. Not long after, someone came to report, holding a blood vessel with Eggsy's name on it.
The clerk who had just argued that Eggsy would be disqualified from the competition if he did not go for a second blood draw, said a word nervously with sweat on his face when the chairman of the Football Association came in.
Especially when he saw the staff dig out the blood vessel that he said was 'lost', his heart skipped a beat!
How could it be possible? He had already hidden it! In his briefcase - Eggsy's blood sample could be sold for 100,000 pounds on the black market now!
In fact, Eggsy himself did not expect that the Chairman of the Football Association would come. Of course, no one else expected it, including the staff member who secretly took Eggsy's blood sample.
This guy was not a very clean person to begin with, and he had experience in stealing and selling on the black market in his early years. So when he learned that someone was paying a high price for Eggsy's blood in the black market, he had already made up his mind, and he used the convenience of his job to hide a blood vessel.
However, the cameras in the entire physical examination hall will not lie. If the video is not deleted, it will be discovered sooner or later.
So the staff immediately said that Eggsy's blood sample was lost and asked for another one. Generally speaking, there would be no rejection during the World Cup physical examination, but this time Eggsy was alert, and the fearless Vardy helped out, so the matter was exposed.
But I never expected to be found so quickly! Could it be... that I was exposed?
The Chairman of the Football Association was just here for a routine inspection. After all, it was the much-anticipated World Cup player call-up. If possible, the Chairman would have asked the media to publicize it and highlight his achievements once again.
He never thought that such a thing would happen right under his nose. He did not listen to anyone's testimony but asked his managers to check it out immediately.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the manager quickly brought back his results. After looking at the odds of blood draw, he found that Eggsy's blood was drawn at the same time as Vardy's, so the supervisor directly found Vardy's blood sample and confirmed that Eggsy's was indeed missing.
So he took Vardy's blood vessel and wanted to tell the chairman that he had only found Vardy's, but he didn't remember to say it out loud. No one knew that it was this scene that made the staff member think that his behavior was exposed.
That's right, when he saw the supervisor holding the blood vessel, he thought it was Eggsy's blood vessel that he had found in his bag. He immediately turned pale.
This change made the chairman sweat profusely. He turned around and asked the supervisor quietly, "Did you check the surveillance?"
The supervisor immediately replied: "We are investigating and there will be results soon."
After receiving such an answer, the chairman immediately turned his attention to the staff member: "Come to my office."
Of course, there was also Eggsy, but the chairman's attitude in inviting Eggsy was much better than that of the staff member. However, Vardy still followed Eggsy to the chairman's office.
The treatment after entering the office was definitely different. Eggsvaldi sat down while the staff stood. The chairman didn't say anything and asked directly: "You're already here, why don't you tell me? OK?"
After that, the staff member still stood there with his neck stiff and didn't say anything, nor did he make any excuses. He turned around and the supervisor came over with the video, and said, "We've called the police."
The staff member's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground without being able to stand.
However, the chairman obviously didn't want to waste time talking to him, and directly asked the supervisor to take the man away. Of course, the supervisor came over before leaving, first put the blood sample he found on the table, and then apologized to Eggsy.
The chairman said to Eggsy: "We have found your blood sample and asked the staff to check yours first. If the blood sample is not contaminated, you can go to rest."
This means that if the blood sample is contaminated, it must be redrawn.
Eggsy stared at the sample on the table, his thoughts racing in his head.
Why would this person steal his own blood sample?
Thinking of this, Eggsy stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Just draw a new tube, but you have to give me this blood vessel. Also, if this person explains why he stole my blood sample, please ask other staff to let me know."
This request was fine from any angle, so the chairman naturally agreed. But Vardy on the side was full of doubt, but it was just doubt. Vardy certainly wouldn't say whether Eggsy's decision was wrong or not, he would only stick up for his brother.
But this did not prevent him from settling the matter with Eggsy. Later, he asked a question. What was he asking? He asked Eggsy why.
"Think about it, why would this person steal anything else? Why did he have to steal blood samples?" Eggsy and Vardy were sitting in the restaurant. Eggsy was eating fruit salad while he was trying to sort out everything for Vardy.
"I don't know...what can I do?"
Eggsy thought for a moment and said, "But blood is only used for testing, what else can it do..."
Vardy smiled and said indifferently: "What else can we do? Well, I have seen people use blood or hair to do DNA tests to see if the child is their biological child. As for the others... Could it be that there are perverts..."
Vardy hadn't finished his words yet. Eggsy was a pervert, as he had already confirmed when he was in the Fox team.
However, this sentence seemed to wake up Eggsy. He lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly he thought of something and felt shocked by his own thoughts!
"What's wrong?"
Vardy was also shocked when he saw him like this and quickly asked.
Eggsy suddenly thought about it, took out his phone with one hand, and motioned to Vardy to be patient. After quickly sliding the phone on the phone, he immediately found the name of the person he was looking for, his agent, Miss Amansha. After telling her about her suspicion, Miss Amansha immediately said that she would use all her strength to check. And for other matters related to participating in the England representative, she would be fully responsible for everything that could be done on his behalf.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest. You can focus on the game." Emmansa immediately wrote down Eggsy's instructions not to accept any advertisements, endorsements, or programs for him during this period. On the other hand, she also reminded Eggsy on the phone: "You should also pay attention to your own safety and don't go out alone. In addition, if you need to go out, please contact me and I will arrange a bodyguard for you as soon as possible."
Eggsy was about to say that bodyguards were no longer needed, but then he remembered that his blood samples all had human heads, so he took the words back.
Vardy, who was standing by, watched Eggsy hang up the phone and whistled, "Your agent listens to you in everything? That's great. I see that many of my teammates' agents often get endorsements for them. These endorsements are intertwined with their training and games, making them miserable."
Eggsy put down the phone and smiled. "Emansha and I agreed that, in addition to helping me review contracts and handle my legal affairs, and helping me get endorsements, advertisements, and programs no more than 6 times a year, she won't bother me much."
"But she will be responsible for all my media and will be responsible for maintaining my image outside. She also helped me negotiate the previous dispute between me and Blue Fox. She looked through the contract that Blue Fox gave me and found the clauses. Blue Fox paid a lot of money before they gave up."
Hearing this, Vardy couldn't help but laugh: "I can tell that it's quite professional. Such an agent is really good and won't bother you too much."
"Not really. I don't have many contracts to begin with, so she doesn't worry too much."
Vardy was quite emotional when he talked about this. His agent is his father. Sometimes he has to see his father's opinion whether he accepts endorsements or advertisements. And it was his father who helped him to sign the contract from the Foxes to Chelsea. Sometimes Vardy himself feels that it is not a good choice to let a family member be his agent.
However, Vardy knew that it was not a good choice to talk about these things at this time, so he simply said nothing. After enjoying lunch with Eggsy, Vardy was about to return to Chelsea. He had a Champions League match against Eggsy's Real Madrid tomorrow. Although neither of them would disclose the tactics of their respective clubs, some things were better left out in the open.
So Vardy did not hide the fact that he met Eggsy from the club, and he will definitely not miss the club's training camp this afternoon.
Similarly, Eggsy also obediently called Zidane and told him about his dinner with Vardy today, and of course the fact that his blood sample was almost stolen.
Zidane on the other end of the phone would not doubt him. Instead, his frank statement to Eggsy made Zidane start to worry.
"Are you saying that your blood sample was stolen?" This was not Zidane's first time participating in the World Cup, and he was even more familiar with the physical examinations of the World Cup. Such an exaggerated and unbelievable thing still made the head coach feel like it was some kind of cheap joke.
"Yes, and we even called the police." Eggsy rubbed his face, feeling that the whole day was a mess. He thought that as long as he played football, everything would be fine, but there was no peace every day.
Zidane thought about it calmly, and then said to Eggsy very seriously: "Be careful, the World Cup is not so clean."
The current Real Madrid head coach didn't say much, but it did remind Eggsy of how Zidane retired and became a head coach, of course because of the overhead incident.
However, Eggsy didn't think too much about it. He turned around and said that he had just called Chelsea's boss, and the other party was on good terms with him and asked him to help find out why someone would steal his blood sample.
Zidane also smiled and said to Eggsy: "You are too careful."
"You have to be careful." Eggsy has matured a lot now. He is so careful because he doesn't want to drag down the people around him. "You just said that the World Cup is not clean!"
"Haha, our little guy has grown up~" Zidane smiled and clicked his tongue a few times on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry about other things internally, take a good rest today, and we'll see you tomorrow."
Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, Real Madrid will check into the hotel and play against Eggsy. Tomorrow night, Real Madrid will play away against Chelsea.
Now, Zidane is still looking at the tactical board in front of him with a headache. Pay attention! The tactical board in front of him is blank! No player's name is posted on it. You should know that the box next to Zidane has the name tags of all the team members. It can be seen that he is now having a headache for tomorrow night's tactical arrangements~
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Zidane finally made his move. He first took out Eggsy's nameplate and pasted it directly on the center of the midfield circle, then took out Kroos and Modric's.
After posting the midfield, Zidane took out a marker and drew a five-pointed star next to Eggsy's name tag. This means that Eggsy will be the core of Real Madrid in tomorrow's game against Chelsea.
