Chapter 35: Chelsea (1)
Chelsea's home stadium, Stamford Bridge, was packed today. Due to the media hype, the tickets for this game were sold out early, and many people bought scalper tickets at high prices to attend this event.
After all, Leicester City is now the dark horse in the Premier League with consecutive wins. You can tell whether this game against the newly-emerged rich club Chelsea will be interesting or not!
Even the VIP tickets for Stanbridge Stadium were sold out. Small cameras were installed in each box for easy recording, allowing people in the box to watch back and forth. No one wanted to miss the excitement of the game.
This time, the Premier League also specially arranged a TV broadcast vehicle to be on standby outside throughout the game. The big screen in the stadium can not only show the situation on the field, but also the situation in the player tunnel.
So everyone looked at the young Leicester City player with shiny and watery hair. He even showed off his full forehead, and his big watery eyes looked even more charming.
The expressions on the teammates' faces when they saw Eggsy's hair were hard to describe. If you say it's not good-looking, then it's impossible for that kid to not look good. Let's say it's good-looking...
Son, you know that the way you style your hair now makes it look like you stole your dad’s hair wax?
It's like a kid who wants to prove that he's grown up by wearing his dad's clothes to show off...
Only Kant asked Eggsy quietly: "Your hairstyle today... is quite unique?"
Eggsy obviously didn't hear the hidden meaning in Kant's words. He even reached out and scratched his hair. He looked at Kant very seriously, making Kant a little nervous. Then he said, "Someone I just met told me that this hairstyle will help the game go smoothly today!"
"real!"
Everyone: …
This answer was so unexpected that not only the Leicester City players fell silent, but also the Chelsea players who had just arrived and were eavesdropping fell silent!
Is this the guy who deceived such an innocent little cutie?! Doesn't your conscience hurt? ?
But Eggsy stroked his hair seriously, and then muttered, "Can this hair really last until the end of the game?"
Kant chuckled softly. He really wanted to tell Eggsy that of course it was impossible, but he decided not to say it. There was no need to let Eggsy waste his energy on such things and ruin his mood.
Soon, the two teams gathered in the player tunnel, and the caddies were sent up by the staff. At this time, the picture in the player tunnel was switched to the main screen, and the rosters of the two teams were also played.
When the camera scanned Eggsy's face, he was talking to Kant next to him with a bright smile, which made many fans at the scene and in front of the TV excited!
It goes without saying how charming the youth is. The host on the scene even introduced Eggsy, and of course did not forget to emphasize that the boy is only 16 years old, and his skills are just being practiced, but he has great talent.
"...Looking at the Premier League, it's rare to have players with such midfield skills in just a few months. Oh!" The host suddenly found that there was something wrong in the player's tunnel. He quickly gestured to the anchor to cut the screen over, and he didn't forget to speak here.
"Eggsy suddenly squatted down. Did something happen?"
At this time, almost everyone in the player tunnel was looking at Eggsy. Of course, it was not just the outstanding figure of this handsome boy, but what this kid was doing now.
And Eggsy didn't even notice that he had attracted everyone's attention. Instead, he focused all his attention on his caddy.
Eggsy had met caddies before, most of them were nice, and could quietly accompany him to complete today's performance. But today, the one Eggsy was assigned was a little boy, with a very cute curly hair.
Of course, if the other person is not sobbing, it would be fine if he or she just cries.
The little guy was crying like this. Originally, everyone could have ignored him, but he was so cute. He kept sobbing and mumbling, "Wuwu, Daddy, wuwuwu,~"
The other unmarried players didn't feel anything yet and just watched the little guy crying cutely with a smile on their faces.
The married players also tried to persuade her, but the little one ignored these tall and smiling "weird uncles" and continued to sob, looking so pitiful.
Only Eggsy knelt down on one knee, facing the sobbing little boy, reached out and touched his tears, then calmly and softly coaxed him: "What's wrong, tell your brother?"
“There are so many people~ I’m scared~”
Eggsy smiled and didn't say anything to comfort him. Instead, he patted the crying little guy on the back and coaxed him, "You are a great caddy now. When we go out later, I will need you to take me with you. If you are scared, your brother will be scared too."
After that, Eggsy pointed to the exit of the player tunnel. The caddy looked in the direction Eggsy pointed and gradually stopped sobbing: "Big brother, are you scared too?"
All the players in the stadium couldn't help laughing, but Eggsy smiled slightly and nodded seriously: "My brother is afraid too, so I'll rely on you to lead me~"
After hearing what Eggsy said, the caddy suddenly found the courage from nowhere, wiped away his tears, and said with great pride, "Well, then you have to follow me closely! I'll hold your hand and you won't get lost!"
All the players laughed, but their smiles were warm. The audience watching the episode couldn't help laughing. What kind of drama was this, where the big cutie tricked the little cutie? Did these two grow up eating cuteness?
When the players from both teams came out in a slippery state, Eggsy even bent down so that the little guy could hold his hand.
The little caddy was really excited. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He took Eggsy out seriously, for fear that he would lose Eggsy.
Everyone almost laughed to tears when looking at these two little cuties!
The host couldn't help but say: "Perhaps only those who have been treated warmly by others will treat others so warmly."
I have to say that this little episode did draw many people's attention to this young player from Leicester City, but the scene was not a charity event, but a competition!
After the players from both teams came on the field, they started shaking hands. Eggsy's eyes immediately caught sight of the man standing in the middle of Chelsea.
The Chelsea player wearing the blue jersey number 4 is Fabregas. This guy known as a versatile midfielder is Eggsy's biggest target today.
Of course, Fabregas noticed Eggsy as early as in the player tunnel.
He had done his homework before the game and had also watched the little guy's midfield performance. After just a few minutes of watching, Fabregas was sure that Eggsy was a talented player with a nose for midfield.
To put it bluntly, this kid is born to shine in the midfield. Although he still can't avoid bumps and bruises now, that's just due to lack of experience.
Fabregas looked at Eggsy's technique, breakthrough and dribbling ability and knew without thinking that if Chelsea wanted to beat Leicester City, then Eggsy would be the opponent that Fabregas needed to pay most attention to.
Midfielder versus midfielder, today was destined to be a contest between midfielders, and it was destined to be a game of constant struggle for control of the midfield.
However, when Fabregas saw Eggsy in the player tunnel today, he felt like he had seen this kid before, especially that hairstyle... Why did he look so much like the one from Real Madrid?
Hiss, Fabregas shuddered on the spot, and the memory hidden deep in his body began to attack him! In addition, this time they were playing at Chelsea's home ground, Fabregas was wearing a blue jersey, while Leicester City was wearing a white away jersey.
The more I look at it, the more they look alike!
Xiaofa's DNA moved on the spot, but he kept comforting himself in his heart that it shouldn't be what he felt, it must be an illusion.
When they shook hands, Fabregas took another look, - this was simply imitating the gesture, right?!
This strange feeling made Fabregas feel more and more like he was back in Barcelona, playing against their arch-rival, Real Madrid!
Fabregas shook his head and refocused his attention on the game. Because the team had the first chance to attack, Fabregas was waiting for his teammates to pass the ball and prepare to start the attack.
The whistle sounded, and Fabregas attacked forward with the ball, but in an instant, as if out of nowhere, Eggsy appeared in front of him!
Fabregas had some understanding of Eggsy's defense and knew that this kid could only fight physically, so when he faced Eggsy, he had already thought it through and planned to use his speed and skills to break through Eggsy's defense.
But in the next second, Fabregas felt something was wrong! Eggsy had already targeted Fabregas at the beginning of the game, but he still kept a little distance from Fabregas.
After intercepting Fabregas's ball, Eggsy ran after the ball. He didn't know that his kick had revived Fabregas' memory. Looking at him, it was as if he saw the No. 7 defender running on the Real Madrid stadium back then.
Fabregas was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately chased after him, but during this period of time, Leicester City seized the opportunity. Chelsea's pass was hijacked and went directly to Kante's feet.
Chelsea's home stadium was bustling with boos from the Blues fans. They lost the ball just a few minutes into the first half? Who was they playing?
However, Leicester City did not attack immediately after holding the ball. Kante immediately started looking for Eggsy after getting the ball. Eggsy immediately ran and completed the attack and defense switch. He just glanced at the position on the field and then began to stretch out his hand to ask.
The pass was made along the midfield line, and Eggsy did not rush to attack, but kicked the ball back and forth a few times. In this way, he used the ball to quietly pull apart several layers of Chelsea's defense, thus creating opportunities for Mahrez and Vardy.
Eggsy started to attack with the ball, but Fabregas and Oscar who were defending him were entangled by Eggsy's various fake moves and dribbling back and forth. This flexible movement and various fake moves made Fabregas dazzled again.
He even had a little illusion again, this illusion was: the little player in front of him was no longer an imitation of Ramos, but now an imitation of Modric!
Chelsea's defensive lineup was compressed and approached again and again, and Chelsea's back goalkeeper almost wanted to park a bus in front of their own goal! However, Eggsy did not attack blindly at all. As a result, he used several back passes and field positioning to stretch Chelsea's defensive lineup again, which made Chelsea's head coach so angry that he cursed fiercely on the sidelines!
It’s not going to work for Eggsy to park the bus in front of the goal, he has to change his tactics!
Leicester City seized the opportunity from the beginning. Their midfielder Eggsy's flexible movement actually made it impossible for the defenders to stop him. It was like he set up camp on the central axis, directly threatening the safety of Chelsea's goal. The defenders were afraid that he would suddenly receive the ball and shoot, so most of the defenders were paying close attention to him, ready to prevent Eggsy from long shots from midfield.
This gave Vardy and Mahrez an opportunity. The two of them relied on Eggsy to attract firepower, accelerated all the way, made various fancy moves, and followed flexibly all the way into the penalty area.
"It's only been 6 minutes in the first half and Leicester City are already in Chelsea's penalty area!"
The host couldn't believe the situation in front of him. How many media had advertised before? They said that Leicester City, a relegation team, could not be compared with the newly promoted giants Chelsea.
Now what?!
Chelsea was like a poor little bully, being pressed at the doorstep by Leicester City. Who could have imagined this? It was as if the two teams had the script reversed!
"All the players of Leicester City have entered Chelsea's penalty area under the tactical offensive arrangement of Eggsy. It's unbelievable," the host's commentary was very emotional. "How old is Eggsy? He is only 16 years old, but I see a tactical and organized offensive midfielder. He is really talented!"
The guests around the host were now sighing: "It's only been less than ten minutes in the first half, and Chelsea, with such a luxurious lineup, is helpless?"
"It is undeniable that Chelsea is still thinking of parking the bus in front of the goal to play against Chelsea, which is a failure!"
