Chapter 2 Joining the Team
The fact that Ranieri hired a man who had never played football as an applicant instantly shocked the entire Leicester City.
Among them, Kante, as an old player in the team, feels surprisingly bad about this new player who has already exceeded the lower limit before they even meet.
"I heard that this guy ordered all the delicious food in the cafeteria on his first day on the team."
Vardy and Mahrez, the backbone of the team, did everything they could to find out all the information about this new player.
"I heard that Mr. Ranieri paid for it. In my opinion, he is a gigolo."
"Yes, I heard that this guy used to be a model. Maybe he is used to living off women."
Mahrez found out a lot of information, and many players, including Mahrez, were scared by the previous head coach and the "non-professional" players who were stuffed in.
Even now, Leicester City players are still ridiculed by their peers, saying that they are engaging in group sex and that they are not professional.
For the players who are still staying in Leicester City, not only do they have little money to earn here, but they also have to be looked down upon by their peers. Who can stand this?
"A model?" When Captain Kant heard the news, his disgust was so obvious that he didn't even try to hide it. "Girlfriend?"
"Why would a model want to play football?" Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said angrily, "Anyone can play football now!"
Everyone in the locker room was indignant, feeling that someone was about to enter their locker room and ruin everything, but at this moment the locker room door opened and a guy in cleaning clothes walked in.
This person is Eggsy. He just went to his workplace in the morning and finished the last cleaning work for his boss. He came here in his work clothes.
As a result, as soon as he came in, he heard the new players' comments about him. Eggsy didn't say anything, but just came in silently.
These players who were just about to do some exercise happened to have functional drinks in their hands, and when they saw Eggsy in his cleaning uniform, they handed them to him without thinking.
"What are you staring at?" Vardy stuffed the drink bottle in his hand to Eggsy, "You can get this thing for 1 Euro each at the supermarket's recycling point."
Eggsy was really stunned. He looked at the drink bottle in his hand for a long time, and really didn't know what expression to make.
Faced with the unwelcome attitude of his new teammates, Eggsy had no choice. He was not Sterling, and he couldn't make everyone like him.
If everyone keeps hating him, there's really nothing he can do about it.
Holding a bag of drink bottles, Eggsy wandered aimlessly in the club, and he was soon attracted by the dazzling lights in front of the corridor.
When he walked over, he found that at the end of the corridor was a very large showroom.
The golden trophies, medals and certificates of honor shone brightly under the sunlight, and were displayed in transparent glass bottles dazzlingly.
This is Leicester City's Hall of Fame, but what is a bit speechless is that the largest medal currently is actually only silver, which was awarded when Leicester City won the third place in the Premier League in the early 19th century.
The worst thing is that this trophy is from more than 80 years ago. In other eras, Leicester City has won nothing except some small prizes and individual awards.
Eggsy had just arrived at the club, so he didn't really feel a strong sense of honor here. But just looking at the trophies, Eggsy stood in the exhibition hall for more than three hours.
And the longer he stood there, the more he felt that he might not be normal - his heart was extremely eager for those golden trophies, and he wished he could grab the fire hydrant next to him and smash the glass directly, so that he could hug those golden trophies and medals!
This is not normal, this is absolutely not normal!
Eggsy was so frightened that he ran back to his dorm. He sat on the floor for a long time, panting. When he regained his senses and calmed down, he found that his eyes in the full-length mirror opposite him had turned - gold?!
Eggsy was shocked. He originally thought that his luck had changed and he was able to join the football club. However, he would have discovered that he seemed a little abnormal on the first day in the club!
Eggsy was so scared that he could only think of hiding the matter. He also wanted to open his computer to check what disease he had.
My eyes turned golden, and I particularly wanted gold, especially trophies and medals. I had a deep desire to possess these things.
Eggsy wrote down all the things that he thought were abnormal about himself, and then started searching online.
Of course it is impossible to post various department examinations on the Internet. Eggsy could only look for a needle in a haystack on the Internet. You won’t believe it, but he actually found some clues for him.
"He likes honor and likes the trophy of honor, preferably made of gold. When he grows up, his eyes will turn golden when he gets excited. This is the Taotie mythical beast in Eastern legends."
The person on the other end was a scholar from a well-known university. After receiving Eggsy's inquiry email, he immediately replied with detailed information and his own opinions.
Seeing the professor's confident declaration about Taotie, Eggsy was so excited!
He looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief. He had the most ordinary black hair and the most common black eyes. In the first 16 years of his life, he had accepted that he was an ordinary Asian. Apart from being a little handsome, there was nothing else that stood out about him.
Now his body suddenly began to change, and his eyes would turn golden when he was excited. He felt that his worldview of 16 years was gradually collapsing.
Eggsy prepared himself for a long time to accept the result, but he still kept reading the following text without giving up. He found out that the blogger was an expert in Oriental studies, and in the email he sent, he explained in detail the difference between ordinary gluttonous beasts and mythical beasts.
Compared to the evil beast Taotie, which eats everything and prefers flesh and blood and will not stop there, the divine beast Taotie is a completely kind species and especially does not like honor.
They even collect trophies and medals made of gold. In history, there was a story about an Eastern emperor using gold to keep the Taotie mythical beast in captivity. Because as long as the Taotie mythical beast was there, the country's fortune would become prosperous and the people would be safe and secure.
After Eggsy finished reading these stories, although he didn't want to admit it, the habits of this gluttonous beast were exactly the same as his own, which made him want to believe it no matter what.
The worst thing is that the professor also said that the Taotie beast cannot live without honor and gold, otherwise it will die.
This news shocked Eggsci for a long time. Finally, he took advantage of the dead of night to sneak a look at the golden trophy in the exhibition hall. He immediately felt his eyes shining with excitement.
OK, it’s confirmed.
He still found it hard to accept the fact that he was not a human. Although he wanted to doubt it, he strangely accepted from the bottom of his heart that he was a Taotie.
What should I do now? Go and tell Mr. Ranieri: I'm sorry, sir, I lived for 16 years and thought I was an individual, but I didn't expect that I was not - can you let the beast play football here? I can bless your team with great luck!
"Forget it..." Eggsy covered his face speechlessly. He felt that if he really said that, he would probably be taken to a mental hospital tonight.
So on his first day in Leicester City, Eggsy suffered from insomnia. His mind was filled with the trophies in the exhibition hall, and every cell in his body was filled with the cry of "want".
After a sleepless night, Eggsy did not feel depressed but felt more energetic. All he could think about was: How can I get a trophy and a medal? I want a gold one!
So he quickly ordered a pair of contact lenses that could cover his eyes online, and also quickly checked which position a football player plays in order to win a trophy.
…
After the summer transfer window, the players returned to the club one after another, with captain Morgan being the first to arrive.
He habitually comes to the football field early in the morning, makes some preparations on the field and then reports to the coaching staff, and determines the day's training content and training focus together with the physical coach, training coach, and head coach Mr. Ranieri.
As a result, he saw the ball covering the entire court, and Eggsy practicing dribbling, sprinting and passing in the morning sun.
Of course Morgan had heard of this amateur newcomer, but he never thought that this guy was so hardworking. His first impression of him changed immediately. He even stood behind Eggsy and watched him train.
Eggsy glanced behind him and knew that the strong man was Captain Morgan. He saw the trophy about him in the showroom yesterday. For such a capable, honorable, and gold-earning person, Eggsy really likes to get close to him!
"Hello." In the morning light, Eggsy looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, but he looked particularly refreshed and dazzling.
Morgan, as the captain, didn't say much, but after seeing O'Agosi's efforts, he calmly accepted his first impression of this kid, so he stepped forward and kicked the ball with his feet, while warming up, he waved to O'Agosi: "Come on, break through me and let me see how good your skills are."
After 16 years of ups and downs in life, Eggsy has already developed a strong willpower. He is much more mature than his peers and knows better how rare opportunities are.
So when Morgan practiced with him for an hour, many players arrived at the stadium one after another, and then they were all quite surprised to see the new amateur player who was able to surpass their captain, who had always been known as the "door panel" in central defender, in terms of technology and ability.
When Vardy and Mahrez saw that Eggsy was dribbling faster than ever, they only thought: "Is he really an amateur?"
Little did he know that Eggsy's mind was full of next week's game, because he found that what he should be thinking about now was not the trophy, but how to keep Leicester City in the Premier League!
