Chapter 202 Champions League: Real Madrid vs Barcelona (I)
Although the weather in Madrid has been cold recently, today it looks sunny and many people are wearing thick coats. However, in stark contrast to the weather, the 4th floor of the Bernabéu is full of spectators.
Eggsy and his teammates started warming up as soon as they arrived at the locker room. To be honest, while everyone else was wearing jackets, the players' jerseys were not thick. When he first got the jersey, Eggsy thought his home jersey would be long-sleeved.
But when he saw that he was still holding a short-sleeved shirt, Eggsy took a deep breath. Modric, who was still adjusting his headband, turned his head and looked at Eggsy, who was shirtless and holding his jersey, as if in a trance.
As the captain, Ramos was still thinking about other things. He happened to see Eggsy when he passed by. To be honest, Eggsy's current state is indeed a little bit not right, because everyone else has put on the jersey, why is it just this kid who is staring at the jersey in a daze?
"Wear it? Why don't you recognize your jersey?"
Eggsy thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't recognize my jersey, it's just that I feel a little cold."
After hearing this, Ramos showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then looked at Ramos and asked: "How do you play in the UK?"
Eggsy's answer was straightforward: "It's not that cold if you wear a long-sleeved jersey, shin guards and socks."
Ramos understood at this time, and then asked Eggsy: "Does coming to Madrid make you feel cold?"
Eggsy smiled and said, "It's mainly because I'm used to the bright sunshine in Madrid." Eggsy no longer worried about whether the short-sleeved shirt was cold or not, and put it on directly and said, "Anyway, I won't feel cold as long as I run."
Just as Eggsy was about to leave, he was stopped by Ramos. Ramos sighed helplessly, then looked at Eggsy and said, "What can I say to you? Little guy, if you're cold, you must warm up. Otherwise, it will be more uncomfortable to run."
"This is not your first time as a player. How can you be so careless in taking care of small details like this?" Ramos said the words of blame, but in action he opened his locker, took out a pair of new sports gloves, turned around and handed them to Eggsy.
"You're about the same size as my palm," Ramos watched Eggsy take the glove which was still in its packaging. While Eggsy was still in a daze, Ramos reached out and grabbed his hair.
Fortunately, Eggsy's hair is not tied up yet, which is very similar to Ramos. After all, the current Shuiye's hair style is not done yet, and he only uses hair wax before going out to the player tunnel. So Eggsy didn't tie his hair either, and he also waited until he went to the player tunnel to tie it up.
So isn't this a bargain for Ramos? He kept rubbing it, and only walked away contentedly when he had enjoyed it enough. Eggsy was so shocked by Ramos's almost childish behavior that he didn't know what to say, but Ramos held his head high and walked away with a smug look on his face.
Modric looked at Eggsy with a doubtful look, and suddenly replied: "You know him. He may not be reliable in big things, but he is very careful in small things."
Eggsy thought about it, looked at the gloves on his hands, and suddenly realized. Ramos didn't have the habit of wearing gloves when playing football, so was this glove bought specially for him?
That's fine, I can even rub his hair until sparks appear~
Eggsy smiled, combed his hair neatly, then braided it, put on gloves, and chatted and laughed with Modric as he walked out of the locker room and toward the player tunnel.
Although the Bernabeu's player tunnel is a downhill staircase, it was specially divided into two halves this time to prevent some derby teams from having verbal conflicts with their own players. But for Barcelona, the attitudes of Real Madrid and Barcelona are very interesting.
Although the two of them played as hard as they could on the court, off the court...
"Ha ha, old man! Is your beard growing again?"
"Oh, don't mention it. My boyfriend is annoying me every day~"
When Eggsy and Modric just arrived at the player tunnel, Real Madrid players were greeting Barcelona players, laughing, scolding, hugging and patting their backs.
When Eggsy saw it, he was a little dazed for a moment, but Modric next to him had already greeted the player on the opposite side, and the two began to chat through the small hole in the partition of the aisle.
ah?
While Eggsy was in a daze, Pique suddenly reached out and rubbed the top of Eggsy's head, while Ramos beside him was still grinning. Apparently, the secret in the Real Madrid dressing room: the news that Eggsy's hair was very soft and very nice to touch had spread outside Real Madrid.
“It feels really good, ahahaha~”
"Yes, what I said is definitely true~"
Eggsy looked at the two childish ghosts and didn't know what expression to make for a moment. Of course, the interaction between the three of them was broadcast on the big screen without any cover-up. When Eggsy made that helpless face, the whole audience smiled knowingly~
The broadcasts of various countries did not cut this part, and the hosts more or less explained the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the recent personnel situation. When Ronaldo and Messi also appeared in the player tunnel, smiled and shook hands with each other, the atmosphere of the whole game was really at its peak.
The cheers in the full Bernabeu stadium were terrifying. People outside thought it was a national derby, and it was unusually serious. Now the players in the tunnel are actually having fun? And Real Madrid coach Zidane and Barcelona coach Valverde even touched each other on the sidelines, and it seemed quite friendly?
No, you have to at least live up to our nervousness and excitement!
Eggsy was wondering, and then he saw Navas in front of the team with his hair tied up. Navas had dressed himself up well today, with hairspray on his hair, which looked shiny and smooth.
But Eggsy didn't dare to say: After all, there is a slip~ Naye can't listen to this~
But he dared to look at Navas. Navas saw that his little guy was staring at him, so he thought that Eggsy's braids were not done properly, so he directly took the rubber band from Eggsy's hand, intending to tie his hair.
It was fine before, but now this interaction is really funny no matter how you watch it ~ It feels like a father with a slicked-back hair braiding his inexperienced son.
"Oh my~ It's only been a few days and Eggsy is already picking up a parent in the locker room again~"
Although this statement is a bit ambiguous, it is actually pretty much the same. However, after the braids were tied up, Navas didn't say anything to Eggsy, he just pushed him and said, "The referee is here, take your caddie and we're leaving."
The audience was excited to see the players file out of the player tunnel under the guidance of the referee team. At the same time, the starting lineup of the day was announced on the big screen.
This time Real Madrid actually used a 4:3:3 lineup, which is quite different from the 4:4:2 lineup that most media and commentators said before. Because the opponent is Barcelona, Real Madrid should have adopted a 4:4:2 lineup that is more defensive.
But what is Zidane planning today? He actually used this trident attacking lineup. Is he trying to hedge against Barcelona?
After meeting with Zidane, Valverde was also wondering, so when he walked back to his rest area, he kept looking at the situation on the field.
Barcelona's lineup today is 4:2:3:1, which is the lineup that Barcelona has been using recently, but in the booth, Busquets returned to the starting lineup, Alba stood at the center back position, and Iniesta and Messi were on the front line, of course, still standing in the front.
Real Madrid not only let Modric, Kroos and Eggesie slip out of the midfield today, but also put Kovacic and Casamiro in the defensive midfielder position. It seems that Real Madrid's focus today should be on the middle. But their defense should also be in the middle.
Because Barcelona's middle road, which is Messi's offensive middle road, is also the most handy. But Real Madrid Kovacic's road is placed here to block the road.
As the saying goes, fans watch the excitement while players watch the tricks. Everyone can feel that Real Madrid and Barcelona are desperately building up their defense, and it is obvious that they do not want to let the opponent break their defense in the game.
Zidane also saw the intention of the opponent Barcelona, but he just had the same plan in mind, with the purpose of wearing down Barcelona. After all, compared with their own bench, Barcelona's current lineup is more likely to replace substitutes.
Without Neymar, Barcelona's offensive forwards seem to be lacking in offensive power.
After all, Zidane still has some talent. When he accepted the coaching position at Real Madrid, the first thing he did was to let Ronaldo play as a center forward. In this way, Ronaldo's ability to score goals, which he has always loved, was brought to the extreme by him, so Real Madrid did not need to worry too much about the coordination in the middle.
Not to mention Modric and Eggesi who organize the attack. Their ability to organize the attack and break through on the left and right lines provide protection. This allows Benzema and Bale who follow Ronaldo to also get some benefits at the same time, ensuring that Real Madrid's three offensive lines blossom.
Even when facing Barcelona, when their defense is particularly difficult to beat, passing the ball to Ronaldo can guarantee a goal~
The game started and Barcelona attacked first.
But Barcelona did not seem to be in a hurry. Iniesta started to dribble the ball, and Messi was constantly testing the front. It seemed that he was rushing forward on the left for a while and then looking for a position on the right. He was obviously a free man throughout the court.
But as soon as Iniesta passed the ball to him, a white figure immediately rushed in front of Messi along with the ball. And when this person stood in front of Messi, Messi was obviously stunned for a moment, because the shadow of the other person who was high above him completely covered him.
Number 14, Eggsy!
