Chapter 214 World Cup: Team Match
On the first day of physical and technical training, Eggsy's skills really stood out in the England national team. Whether it was positioning awareness, running, or dribbling, Eggsy could play 1v1 SOLO with anyone in the team.
Many people on the field looked at Eggsy with surprise and admiration in their eyes. They were surprised at the kid's youth and talent, and admired his abilities. But soon, many people looked at Eggsy's active figure and had some unsatisfactory thoughts.
Someone once said that if your ability is so strong that everyone is in awe of you, then others may not feel jealous, just like Zidane.
But Eggsy obviously didn't have the ability to make his teammates in awe, and he was not Zidane. Instead, after he occupied all the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson, some teammates were not so friendly to him.
At first, when Eggsy was resting, he was bumped by someone for no apparent reason. The other person just waved his hand and walked away without saying an apology. Eggsy was still in a daze, not knowing what the other person meant, but Vardy knew that he got angry immediately and started to verbally abuse the other person, but the other person just walked away with his middle finger raised.
Vardy was extremely angry. Looking at the dazed Eggsy, he could only suppress his anger and took Eggsy out, because there were already many people watching the fun around.
Vardy and Eggsy are both regular team members, and the one just now is a substitute whose ranking is still unknown. For them, if they get into a fight or a quarrel and pull Eggsy and Vardy down, it will be a win for them.
It was because Vardy knew this that he pulled Eggsy away. When he explained these things to Eggsy, the two of them were already sitting on the lawn of the training camp with water cups in their hands.
"...Unbelievable." Eggsy took a sip of water, but stared blankly ahead: "Just for the main position? Why do they have to be the main force of the so-called national team or the representative team?"
On the other side, also coming over with water cups were Leicester City's new player Maguire and Vardy's current Chelsea teammate Cahill.
The two Vardys have a good relationship, and they have no aversion to Eggsy, so they naturally get closer. During this morning's training, Maguire and Cahill also cooperated with Eggsy and the other two to make a breakthrough, so they are quite familiar with each other.
"If you make a name for yourself in the club's cups and leagues, then the World Cup is where you can prove your worth." Maguire handed a new bottle of water to Vardy.
"They come to the national team just to score more goals," Cahill said, "or to perform well. After all, this is related to their future."
Eggsy understood that he had become someone else's money, no wonder he was hated by others. But there was no hope for Eggsy to back down. Since you hated my excellence, I had to be even better.
After all, leaving such people far behind and pretending not to see them is what Eggsy wants most.
So at noon, a few of them were basking in the sun on the lawn, and they formed a small circle. Even if they didn't want to, the team's representatives were inevitably formed.
Just as they were preparing to go to the restaurant at noon, goalkeeper Pickford, striker Rashford, and Kane also came to Eggsy's table with plates and greeted him.
Eggsy may not have reacted at first, but halfway through the meal he suddenly realized why Rashford and Kane were still eating with them and talking about the same topic with everyone. It was because they expressed their position with other players.
The main players of the England team are all here, so there is no chance for Vardy and Eggsy to form small groups or exclude others. Moreover, this will effectively curb the formation of other small groups. After all, when the midfielders and defenders came later, everyone else greeted them politely.
Finally, in the cafeteria, almost all the main players gathered around the big table of Eggsy and the others, talking and laughing. Many veteran players even started telling some club jokes that they just knew, causing several players who were drinking drinks to laugh so hard that they sprayed water.
"…tear your sphincter during training?"
"Oh my God!"
"That's horrible... Is this a joke?"
Kane was talking to his teammates with great excitement, and he looked around to see their expressions. However, the midfielder Ali was not interested in this topic, but teased Kane who was talking with great excitement about chess.
"I heard your house was renovated?"
Kane probably didn't expect his teammate Ali to talk about such a personal matter. For a moment, he was unsure what Ali meant by this topic. He could only look at him warily and asked, "Why are you talking about this?"
Ali looked at Kane's alert expression and couldn't help laughing before he said what he was thinking: "Oh, nothing, I was just wondering how many trophies are missing from your trophy display room?"
Kane's face turned red as soon as he said this, and he kept waving at Ali, as if he wanted to drive him away. But the other players understood it immediately. Eggsy probably only understood half of it and looked at Ali on the left and Maguire on the right, as if he was still waiting for someone to explain it to him.
Then Eggsy's dazed behavior let the new teammates know on the first day that they had a little cutie, a little cutie who knew nothing but playing football.
Don't you have to protect it well? What if someone bullies you?
Therefore, during the collective training in the afternoon, the main players quickly left a deep impression on the other players, and the divisive trend that had just emerged was immediately subsided.
The afternoon training happened to be a group training, and the main players' behavior of sticking together at noon was obviously a good flame retardant for the afternoon match. So in the afternoon team match, the main players faced off against the substitutes. Both sides were just dissatisfied with Eggsy's middle finger-raising in the morning, so they started looking for trouble now!
Kane and Rashford exchanged glances. Ali passed the ball directly to Eggsy after getting the ball. The two full-backs, Dale and Henderson, also started running. It was obvious that they had received the signal. They gave Eggsy a look that clearly said: Run! Brother is following you!
So, before Sir Alex Ferguson gave any instructions, Eggsy started running... Well, England actually started a well-organized attack, and the rhythm was completely controlled for a while. And once the forwards and midfielders ran out, the defenders instinctively began to follow.
At this time, Eggsy, who was holding the ball, turned his head and took a look. Oh my god, what is this... Hey? Didn't Sir Alex Ferguson tell them about the tactics? Why didn't he tell me?
At this time, all the main players pressed forward, and everyone was looking at Eggsy. Eggsy was soon blocked by the substitute group, but he didn't want to fight hard with the opponent, so Eggsy just accelerated and made two fake moves to bypass the opponent, and passed the ball directly, causing the substitute who was blocking him to slip and almost fall to the ground.
It's not that Eggsy's fake moves are so deceptive, but that Eggsy's set of moves consists of two fake moves, and the whole process does not exceed 5 seconds, which makes the opponent unable to react and fall directly to the ground.
Then Eggsy didn't stop, and immediately started to rush forward after passing the ball. Kane was a little stunned when he received the ball...
How to say it, Kane suddenly had a flash of imagination in his mind at this moment, and he felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, the delicious food was delivered to his mouth, just like the sweet spring water was handed to him as soon as he wanted to drink water.
As soon as I took a step forward and ran a few steps, the ball rolled to my feet without any hindrance. It was so comfortable!
Kane was thinking at this moment, no wonder the Blue Fox players spoiled this little guy like nothing when he came to the Blue Foxes. Now he is the favorite of the group in Real Madrid~
That pass alone is worth it!
Kane and Rashford on the opposite side started passing the ball to each other. This kind of interspersed attack and method naturally completely slipped away the substitute defense line. The defense line was completely disorganized and became a complete mess.
After that, Rashford passed the ball to Kane. When Kane scored a goal with a powerful kick in front of the penalty area, he really felt extremely happy!
Then Kane raised his hands and cheered. Eggsy, who was running back to defend, was hugged by Kane around the waist and gave Kane an unexpected lift.
Eggsy: "Ah! Ahhh?"
Kane smiled and picked up Eggsy, and when he put him down, he twisted his face. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid's face is really elastic~
Eggsy was lifted up high by Kane, twisted a bit, and then put down. He was completely confused, covering his face with a question mark on his face.
When Rashford ran over, he put his arm around Eggsy's shoulders and said, "He's playing well now~"
Eggsy: ??? It would be fine if you just kicked me, but why did you pinch my face?!
Vardy also walked forward with a smile, and then took his arm around Eggsy's shoulders. He looked at Eggsy very seriously, which made Eggsy feel that the good brother in front of him was really like what others said, and looked a little fierce when he was serious.
"You...speak?" Eggsy became a little nervous when he was looked at by Vardy.
Vardy looked at Eggsy, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Remember to pass the ball to me next time. My position was pretty good just now~"
Eggsy: ...
Then Eggsy really didn't expect that all the subsequent forwards, including the center forward and the attacking midfielder, said hello to their own team: Pass it to me, I can block it better~!
The game was still going on, and Sir Alex Ferguson was also full of questions on the sidelines. Although he watched the entire game from beginning to end, he was also puzzled when he saw the tactics.
Sir Alex was thinking: Who gave them this quick pass to attack the middle? I didn't give them any tactics!
So Sir Alex Ferguson looked at the other coaches on the coaching staff, and he could feel that they were also looking at him with confusion...
Wow, this little guy Eggsy is really good at leading people with tactics!
