Chapter 232 Back on Track
The Christmas Eve party lasted until after 3 a.m. the next day. Most of the players couldn’t drink much, so they had to rely on the hotel staff to send them home. Since most of them had gone to their families, their families would take care of them if they drank too much.
Of course, there are also singles, and some are even single with children, so they really can only rely on their teammates.
Eggsy originally wanted to send the drunk Ronaldo back, but how could Ramos and Modric be willing to let their kids take care of a drunk?
So Eggsy was sent back to his room and had to take a shower and go to bed.
After all, it is the second day, Christmas, and the Miliaccio family who came with us will go shopping and sightseeing tomorrow, while the Ramos and Modric families will go to Venice. The Ronaldo and Kroos families have agreed to take their children to visit places of interest.
They also called Eggsy, but Eggsy refused. It’s not that Eggsy didn’t want to go, but he felt that he also wanted to celebrate the holiday alone.
In the past, when they were in the orphanage, there was a group of children living with the nurses. As the eldest child, Eggsy had to cook, help out, and take care of the children. It can be said that he was very busy.
Now that he has his own career and life, I am really curious about the atmosphere of celebrating the holidays alone.
So he slept until he woke up naturally, and then went to enjoy an Italian breakfast by himself. He was so surprised by the yogurt that he ordered a second one.
After eating, Eggsy got up and went out. He had no particular purpose, so he just walked along the street of the hotel and looked at the dazzling array of shops and stores.
Eggsy would stop to take a look, and when he saw the beautiful stone bridge in Turin, he would go up and walk slowly.
The streets of Turin in winter really made Eggsy himself feel the slow pace. There was no cold or loneliness. After all, there were many people on the streets. Everyone was happily shopping, strolling, and visiting this beautiful city.
But as he was walking around, he saw so many people walking in pairs and Eggsy looked at them with a little envy, but when he thought about falling in love himself, he lost interest.
He has put his studies on hold for football, so how can he have time for a relationship?
Eggsy sighed, turned around and followed a group of people into a large store on the street. Many of his teammates' children came to the hotel today, so Eggsy had to buy some gifts.
So he entered a toy store and looked at various toys. Then he found a small area outside the toy store, where there were married adult men sitting with various shopping bags in their arms.
Eggsy swore that he saw exhaustion and despair in these people.
…I was definitely not in my right mind when I just thought about falling in love!
After walking around and looking at all kinds of toys, Eggsy probably didn't think of taking them back himself. Instead, he told the salesperson and planned to have the salesperson deliver them to the hotel later.
Eggsy bought a lot of various things, probably more than 30 items, which made the male salesperson next to him take a special look at him.
At first glance, he felt that Eggsy looked familiar, so the clerk who had originally just glanced at Eggsy actually looked up at Eggsy again. This time, it can be seen from his exaggerated facial expression that he recognized Eggsy!
But now the store was full of people, so the power supply did not shout out Eggsy's name, but suddenly laughed.
Eggsy looked at him and laughed, saying softly, "Merry Christmas."
Then Eggsy walked out of the store.
He had no choice but to leave. While the clerk was looking at him, someone nearby saw Eggsy. Even the men who were sitting in the store and looking miserable while shopping, as Eggsy saw them, knew what they had missed.
Eggsy returned to the hotel with a smile. He was bored being alone in the hotel room. He looked up and saw his computer on the table. Suddenly he had an idea.
Eggsy's social media accounts are all managed by Migliaccio, but that doesn't mean Eggsy doesn't know the password. Eggsy has nothing to do today anyway, so he's simply too lazy to go out.
So I opened my phone, ordered a bunch of Italian food I wanted to eat, then turned on my computer and started my live broadcast.
Imagine your boyfriend is in a hotel, wearing a white linen lounge suit, grey sweatpants, barefoot, and curled up on the sofa.
Eggsy was quite relaxed. He took the yogurt that had just been delivered, took a bite of nuts, and read a physics book that he had just picked up.
Eggsy was so casual because he saw that there was no one in his live broadcast room. But Eggsy was easily absorbed in reading. When he turned several pages and took a sip of water to look at the live broadcast room, he was surprised to find that there were already more than 100,000 people in his live broadcast room!
At first, it was weird enough that Eggsy was doing a live broadcast on Christmas Day. But when everyone came in, they found that Eggsy was wearing home clothes and was sitting by the fireplace, enjoying the heat and reading a book.
The electric stove imitated the crackling sound of burning wood in a real fireplace, which was so clear in the room where Eggsy was.
There was no other sound in the room except the sound of Eggsy flipping the pages of a book. The crackling of the firewood and the sound of Eggsy flipping the pages of a book were heard from time to time, which confused the fans who came.
"Eggsy? Reading for Christmas?"
"What is this operation?"
No one understood what Eggsy was doing, and people kept coming into the live broadcast room and asking in a strange way, "Just reading?"
“Will it be some kind of calming experience?”
"It's possible that you don't say it. Isn't there such a thing as reading together in silence?"
Just when everyone was about to accept this situation, Eggsy realized that there were so many people in the live broadcast room?
"Excuse me, everyone. Is this so crowded?"
Eggsy's voice has become deeper recently. If Eggsy's voice was a bit boyish when he first joined the Foxes, and a bit between a man and a boy when he joined Real Madrid, then now...
A cool male voice with a bass line.
This voice gripped the hearts of everyone in the live broadcast room, from middle-aged women to young girls.
When Eggsy started the live broadcast, he didn't even have time to read the subtitles on the screen. He just said to himself: "I could have gone out to play today, but suddenly I wanted to chat with you all."
"I really want to thank everyone for their love this year. I feel like I have learned a lot this year."
At this point, Eggsy took a sip of the yogurt beside him, then licked the milk stains at the corner of his mouth a little embarrassedly. His relaxed posture, which no one had ever seen before, stunned everyone for a moment, and the entire barrage of comments paused for a while.
How to put it, Eggsy looked very relaxed, but the collarbone that was exposed from time to time and the milk stains on the corners of his mouth really shocked the audience in front of the computer.
Pure and seductive?
Handsome and cute?
Not to mention the female fans, even the male fans left messages saying what Eggsy said, "I can do it!"
No matter how they could do it, Eggsy didn't understand. Of course, he didn't ask what was possible, but instead chatted with the fans.
"Are you lonely because you're spending Christmas alone?"
After reading the message, Eggsy was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Really not."
"There were a lot of people when I was in the orphanage before. Today, my teammates also invited me to spend time with their families, but I don't really want to go."
Eggsy smiled and took out a piece of cucumber-flavored potato chips, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to eat with a crunch. "It's a rare Christmas for me to enjoy being alone."
"What are you eating?"
Eggsy looked at the potato chips in his hand, and after a pause, he said, "I bought them from a nearby grocery store. I liked the taste when I went to the grocery store. It has a very refreshing cucumber flavor."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I think the first thing is to go all out in every game," Eggsy said as he took another sip of yogurt. "The main reason is that the club is fighting on two fronts this time. To be honest, personally, I really want to see what this trophy looks like."
As soon as these words came out, all the fans started to get excited. The subtitles were scrolling very fast, but Eggsy still saw the content in the subtitles that were sliding by quickly.
"Real Madrid is already in the top four of La Liga. After Christmas, it will be the final four?"
After reading the fans' words, Eggsy exclaimed happily, then suddenly stood up as if he thought of something, and walked to his luggage and kitchen outside, poured himself a cup of coffee, and then took his brand new jersey and returned to the computer.
"I'm back, I'm back." Eggsy put sugar and milk in his coffee while greeting his fans and watching them scrolling through the subtitles quickly.
"I just went to pour a cup of coffee and suddenly I wanted to drink it."
The barrage was full of messages saying "Drink it, Bao".
"Aren't you surprised to know that Real Madrid has entered the top four of La Liga?"
Eggsy suddenly laughed when he saw this question: "Isn't it normal for Real Madrid to enter the top four? But to be honest, I really hope to see the trophy this time~"
Speaking of this, naturally some people started to make a fuss and said they wanted to see the Golden Boy Award trophy that Eggsy just won.
Of course, Eggsy didn't hide it, he took it out and placed it in front of the camera: "Look, my name is on it!"
The fans were amused by his unconcealable smug look.
Eggsy chatted with the fans for about an hour, but the fans didn't think it was too much. Eggsy felt his throat was about to smoke from chatting, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out his new jersey and said he would start a lottery, which completely ignited the heat.
It was really strange that all of a sudden, when everyone was celebrating Christmas and there were Merry Christmas activities everywhere, the hot topic of Eggsy giving away jerseys suddenly emerged.
Eggsy continued broadcasting for a while, selected a lucky viewer, got the other party's address, and promised to send it before closing the live broadcast.
After chatting with fans for nearly an entire afternoon, he was really a little hungry, so he went to the hotel restaurant at sunset and enjoyed a full Christmas dinner. Eggsy was particularly satisfied with the meal.
Then we went to the rooftop to watch the Christmas fireworks show on the other side of the river until late at night.
Eggsy has been enjoying life leisurely these days. But when he was lying in bed, thinking about Real Madrid entering the top four and about to win the trophy again, he was even more happy.
This happiness lasted until Eggsy woke up the next day. This time he got up early and washed up quickly. While everyone was still asleep, he had already gone to the hotel swimming pool.
Yes, swimming pool.
Eggsy thought that now that the holiday was over, it was time to start his training.
Eggsy, who did not relax at all, first warmed up by swimming, then changed his clothes immediately after getting up, ran to the hotel gym, and got on the treadmill directly.
Without slacking off at all, he started the physical fitness and balance training that he used to do every day.
When he was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked with sweat, Eggsy still did what he had to do. However, Eggsy was no longer a dull novice. Every training session made him feel that the sweat he shed was worth it on the field.
So he practiced like this until noon, and soon other skaters came, but when they saw Eggsy, they all looked surprised.
At this time, Eggsy could choose to leave the gym, go to the room to take a hot shower, and then prepare to go back to the club. After all, the distance to Real Madrid is not important at this time. What is important is the tactical video that Real Madrid has been squatting for so many years.
Speaking of which, Eggsy also specially checked the situation of his opponent, and when he saw the end, he had a certain understanding of Eggsy.
Bayern is a team that excels at all-round and fast attack.
In the past, Real Madrid and Bayern both lost more often, and Bayern's ability to control the game was quite terrible. Eggsy was still worried about the tactical board and had no idea what to do.
Little did he know that besides himself, there was another person who was also worried, and that was Zidane.
Looking at Bayern's fast or slow attacks, Zidane thought about various tactics in worry, but in the end, every one of them was rejected by him.
Bayern is a very strong opponent. We are facing them right after the group stage, and we don't know whether it will be good or bad.
Of course it’s good to win, not only does it let us understand the opponent’s tactics, it also gives the players a lot of confidence.
Lost the fight...
Losing is not a bad thing, but I am afraid that if we meet the top six or top four again in the future, it will be really hard to say.
At that time, the psychological pressure on the players will only be greater. Who can say for sure whether such a record will affect the overall performance?
Zidane thought about it for a long time and decided to go back to the club first. After all, the club has the most comprehensive information on Bayern's game videos, collected tactical analysis, and player reports.
So when Zidane saw Eggsy in the club's database, the mixed feeling of surprise and joy really made him quite confident about Eggsy's future.
