Chapter 166 A Big Gamble
If today is a day that Eggsy feels has a lot of things to do, then the person who probably feels the same way is Modric.
Modric was training on the Real Madrid pitch, but something went wrong during the ball training this morning. He lay on the ground in a daze, unable to believe that he had tripped over himself. He sat on the ground with his eyes wide open, watching the ball rolling away from his feet, unable to react.
"I…tripped myself?"
The other teammates couldn't help but double over with laughter. Marcelo said the most outrageously: "Luca, why are you so distracted today? Is it because Eggsy is not here?"
Indeed, Modric was a little absent-minded when he came out to eat breakfast this morning. Normally, he and Eggsy, two people who like to get up early, would appear in the Real Madrid restaurant early every morning and the two would chat about something.
Modric, the old father, would also teach Eggsy some tips and listen to Eggsy's recent difficulties or puzzles. After answering, he would chat with Eggsy for a while, and then the two would go back to the training ground.
Igesi and Modric are both midfielders, and they are also a master-apprentice relationship. The same training program can almost guarantee that their training in the morning is almost the same. Only in the afternoon will Modric and Igesi separate to carry out their own targeted training.
But as soon as Eggsy left this morning, Modric felt uncomfortable. He couldn't eat in the morning, and now there is a problem with the training. Other teammates just laughed and thought Modric was not in good condition today.
But only Modric himself knew that his heart was beating fast. He even ignored Marcelo's jokes. Ramos came over and quickly pulled Modric up, and then looking at his expression, the smile on his face instantly turned cold.
"What's wrong?" Ramos immediately thought of the answer as soon as he said this: "Don't worry, Eggsy is very reliable now, nothing will happen to him."
Modric didn't say anything, but seeing his frown, Ramos couldn't help but continue to comfort him: "He just went for a physical examination, what's the matter?"
This made Modric start to think divergently. Modric looked at Ramos and whispered: "When you first joined the national team, did you encounter any obstacles?"
This made Ramos lower his head and raised his eyebrows a little embarrassed. The water of the national team is really deep, no matter how strong the national team is, especially in countries with developed football. As a strong team in the World Cup, Spain is naturally deep.
Ramos knew what was going on. For a moment, he was also worried about Eggsy, as Modric led him. In his opinion, that honest and innocent child would not be able to survive in such a big melting pot. Let alone conspiracy, at least the national team's policy of competition for positions, and the fact that the British team had so many midfielders...
"Shall I give him a call?"
Ramos was a little worried, but he knew that worrying was useless, but he still hoped to make a phone call to find peace of mind.
"Forget it," Modric stood up and thought for a moment, "He will grow up and will have to face these things alone sooner or later."
Ramos was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but imagine what Eggsy would look like when he grew up?
"Black hair, golden eyes, tall and good-looking..." Ramos thought of Eggsy's appearance in his mind. With his handsome face and good looks, Ramos stroked his chin and said, "He's probably a very popular handsome guy. I guess there are a lot of girls around him."
This description made Modric laugh, and the topic of the two people obviously attracted Kroos and Ronaldo. However, Kroos said very unceremoniously: "The girl is just revolving around him, right? I guess Eggsy doesn't have that intention at all."
Ronaldo looked back at this time and wondered: "What does this mean?"
Cross said as a matter of course: "Do you think he has ever been in a relationship now?"
All the fathers in the team, or those who have considered Eggsy a child in their hearts, were stunned. But Cross continued, "He's already 17, and he didn't have a boyfriend in high school. Now he has no time to study and play games. How many years do you think he will continue like this?"
Marcelo finally spoke up: "I heard that this university will last for 4 or 5 years. If Eggsy does well in his studies and wants to continue his studies... that's hard to say."
Although they were still discussing Eggsy, they did not neglect the ball training. However, everyone was concerned about Eggsy's academic and career progress, and thought about Eggsy's current obsession with academics and football career, and suddenly felt that what Kroos said might be true.
"Not necessarily," Ronaldo said at this time: "Conservatively speaking, even if Eggsy balances his studies and career for 8 years, 8 years of schooling should be enough, right? When he graduates, he will only be 25 years old, still very young."
After saying that, Ronaldo waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal.
But the next second, he was broken by a question from Kroos.
"Then when you were 25, you must have had an unforgettable love, got married, and had a child together?"
This is very heartbreaking. Ronaldo's son Mini Ronaldo doesn't have a mother yet~
“This is different!”
"Nothing is different~" Chris smiled and waved his hand: "If you can't do it yourself, don't expect your children to do it."
Then Kroos said something very provocative: "At least Modric, Marcelo and I walked in normal steps~"
Modric was about to say, "You're getting off topic. Weren't we talking about Eggsy's love history? Why are you talking about marriage and having children now?"
"Hey, what's the point of you saying all this?" Zidane, who had been standing by, suddenly spoke up: "Should we introduce Eggsy to someone when he wants to date, or should we arrange a wedding for him?"
Zidane crossed his arms when he said this, and it was obvious that he was quite impatient. He looked at the players around him and saw that they had all shut up. Then he said, "Gentlemen, I know you are worried about the lives of your young players, but before that, can you please think about your wages?"
"Otherwise, I promise that when you pick up Eggsy tomorrow, I will tell him everything you said!"
"Hey!!"
"Oh! You can't do that!"
"Okay, gentlemen, why don't you run?" Zidane suddenly clapped his hands and kept urging them, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Run! You will see your Eggsy tomorrow. No one wants to be embarrassed in front of that little guy because they can't start, right?"
So even though the people on the field said they were a little unconvinced, their bodies were still honest and they ran faster.
Guti, who was standing by, came over with a tactical board and said with a smile: "Huo, you still have a solution."
Zidane raised his eyebrows handsomely, took the tactical board from Guti and said, "One by one, I haven't even told you when Eggsy is going to fall in love, but they are so anxious!"
After saying this, Zidane snorted, leaving Guti next to him speechless and covering his face.
He just forgot that the head coach beside him was not a serious person. After all, in his eyes, Eggsy was just the youngest child in their family. If anyone had any intentions towards him...
Guti was speechless, blinking his eyes and thinking about waiting for them to meet Eggsy tomorrow. He didn't know what these "Dad fans" would do.
The next day, they all rushed to England as quickly as possible and met Eggsy in the hotel. Zidane only gave everyone half an hour to prepare, and half an hour later he held a tactical meeting in the hotel's conference room.
When Zidane's tactical board was really posted, all the starting players were dumbfounded!
"Am I... seeing this correctly?"
Ramos saw the tactical board at this time. Everyone had nothing to say about Zidane's tactical arrangement. At present, it was a standard 4:3:3. However, when the tactical instruction diagram came out, everyone really saw the clues.
According to Zidane's tactical arrangement, the core of this battle actually became... Eggsy? !
Now even Eggsy himself widened his eyes in surprise, especially when he saw the looks of his teammates in front, behind, and on both sides of him, he suddenly felt helpless.
"You may find today's arrangement a bit strange," Zidane said, looking at the players below, some of whom were whispering to each other, and some of whom were frowning in thought, "but my arrangement is not random."
The reason why Zidane held a tactical meeting so early was because he knew that his arrangement might confuse everyone, so he also prepared Chelsea's information. When he analyzed and released the information, several people who just felt that the arrangement of making Eggsy the core player was unreliable stopped instantly.
Chelsea's current season performance is considered successful, and its success is based on Kong's 343. The essence of this system is to hold on to the three stars of the central axis - Hazard, Kante and Luiz.
At the same time, he changed his forward system. When Vardy joined, Chelsea's lineup had stronger breakthrough power. At the same time, coupled with Fabregas and the overall defense of the defenders, it can only be said that Chelsea is now quite difficult to deal with.
In addition, the next game is the Spanish home game in La Liga two days later. Zidane probably can't let some players play the whole game and must protect the manpower. In this way, Real Madrid's offensive and defensive strengths are here, and the situation on the field really depends on the midfield.
From this point of view, Modric is more suitable than Eggesi. But Zidane really needs someone to take charge of the subsequent games, so Modric will not play the whole game even if he starts.
But Real Madrid also has to consider its own breakthrough problem, and turned to think about who has played against Chelsea and knows their forwards, midfielders, and defenders very well?
It could only be Eggsy.
Vardy, the forward, is his good friend and former teammate. Fabregas, the midfielder, is his good friend and former opponent. Kante, the defender, is his good friend and former captain.
Eggsy knows all about these people's technical habits, playing methods, and even their breakthrough habits. As for Eggsy...
Zidane is confident that under his special training, Eggsy is no longer the Eggsy of the past. And tomorrow will be a big gamble!
