Chapter 39: Chelsea (5)
To be honest, in today's major leagues, any player who is good-looking and has good skills is a smart person. He has already wrapped himself up in three layers of protection, and it is impossible for him to lose his commercial value.
But Eggsy is different. This kid is like an unpolished jade. He doesn’t have too much image burden, nor is he well-packaged. Even his Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are all questions from high school textbooks. However, it is clearly written on them: I don’t know, please help me answer it.
(It is best to attach the problem-solving process and formula)
Fans: ...These days, if you don’t have some professional skills and a college degree, I’m embarrassed to be a fan of a player.
After all these things, fans now are not worried about whether Eggsy can play football or whether his grades are good, but why this innocent kid hasn't found an agent yet? Will the old monsters in the football club eat this kid up without leaving any bones?
Many fans are constantly asking about this, hoping to find a reliable agent for this child, otherwise they always feel that the capitalists in the club will ruin such a lovely child~
Such examples are not rare, and there are many clubs that use their players to waste!
But it’s good for fans to think this way. It would be even better if they could put down their mobile phones, cameras and camcorders. At least it would be more convincing.
During the halftime break, Eggsy soaked himself in water and exhaled heavily, suppressing his hunger and the feeling of having eaten something bad. He didn't notice that his clothes were soaked through, and the white jersey was designed to be tight and sweat-wicking, so his body was almost completely exposed.
To be honest, Eggsy had a nice figure, but it was nothing compared to the pale skin that was slightly revealed under the soaked white jersey.
Eggsy was so tired now that he didn't hear what Mr. Ranieri had just asked him to put on a big towel.
This beautiful scene ended only when Mahrez draped his big towel over Eggsy, and Eggsy just came to his senses.
"Are you okay?" When Mahrez put a big towel on Eggsy, he heard him breathing heavily and looking quite tired.
Eggsy wiped the water dripping from his chin with his arm. He didn't say anything at first. After he caught his breath, he opened his mouth and said, "Not bad."
How can you say that this state is okay? Mr. Ranieri obviously noticed that Eggsy's state was not good, so he looked at Eggsy with concern.
The look was very complicated, and Eggsy saw it. His guess was that Mr. Ranieri was thinking about replacing him. He hurriedly went up to the front, but because he was a little tired, he didn't know what to say, so he simply grabbed Ranieri's sleeve and looked at him eagerly.
The boy, who was so wet, was pulling his sleeve pitifully, looking at you with his beautiful golden eyes, and water was still dripping from his wet eyelashes. Although he was 190cm tall, Mr. Ranieri still knew something - he was pitiful!
"Eggsy, you are not joking." Mr. Ranieri couldn't help but soften his tone, hoping that Eggsy could understand that this was related to the overall situation.
Eggsy is certainly not the kind of ignorant child. He knows what the consequences will be if he forces himself to stay on the field due to lack of physical strength, but he did anticipate such a situation and has made follow-up plans.
More importantly, if he goes down the field, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not get any spiritual food at all!
You must not leave!
"I have a plan," Eggsy looked at Mr. Ranieri, looked at him very seriously, then quietly approached, looked around and said, "That's it..."
Mr. Ranieri immediately raised his eyebrows, thought seriously about what Eggsy said, and finally nodded reluctantly: "You have to remember that the last 10 minutes of the second half are the moment that decides everything."
Eggsy laughed immediately, and his eyes dimmed a little as he thought he was going to be replaced, but they brightened up immediately. Eggsy himself was also excited immediately, and his breathless look changed.
The captain, who was panting tiredly, and Kant, who was drinking water, couldn't help but envy: It's good to be young, you recover quickly.
Because of the great physical consumption in the first half, Leicester City did not return to the locker room during the half-time break, which was different from the past. This was also a signal to the Chelsea coaching staff: Leicester City's various tricks, lineups and tactics today were all prepared in advance, and Chelsea were really hit.
If Chelsea scored an own goal to Leicester City in the last minute of the first half, which doubled the pressure on the team, Mr. Ranieri will not go to the locker room to rest directly, which is a warning to the Chelsea coaching staff.
As long as they are on the pitch, the head coach will hardly do anything useless. Mr. Ranieri is no exception. He lets the players rest but does not let them sit down to rest.
On the one hand, it is to hide the fact that the players have consumed a lot of physical energy. On the other hand, they are worried that if they really sit down, the body will produce more acidic substances. Sitting down to rest may lead to poor excretion of lactic acid and accumulation in the legs, which will induce leg pain and is not conducive to blood circulation.
So most of the players were standing or leaning on the sidelines, drinking water in groups of two or three, and resting to recover their strength as quickly as possible. However, Eggsy was pushed by the assistant coach and asked to hide in the back to change his wet jersey.
Many fans with quick eyes and hands wanted to continue taking pictures, but now his teammates had learned their lesson and stood in a row blocking Eggsy's way so tightly.
The fans returned disappointed, Eggsy changed into his uniform, and when the time was almost up, they changed sides and continued the second half of the game.
After such a break, the players of Chelsea and Leicester City recovered their breath, but this time it was Leicester City that took the lead in attacking. This time Kante still followed the original tactics and started the attack with the ball, and when he encountered obstacles or surrounded, he immediately passed the ball.
The target of this point is naturally Eggsy.
But it was not easy for Eggsy either. Chelsea made adjustments in the second half. This time they did not pile up players in the midfield, but instead sent Hazard to organize the attack, while Fabregas and Oscar continued to keep an eye on Eggsy.
They thought that they could let Hazard continue to organize the attack, and someone else would organize the defense, and with Fabregas and Oscar on the side, Leicester City should not be able to do anything. But the facts were so unexpected!
Kanter did pass the ball to Eggsy, but Eggsy looked at the ball and just ran!
"Kante's ball, hiss... was it passed to the wrong position?"
The host dared to say this because everyone felt the same way. The point where Kante passed the ball was far enough away. It would be OK for Eggsy to run all the way there, but if he stopped the ball and passed it again, it would be difficult, right?
However, Eggsy really did run over, with Fabregas and Oscar chasing after him. They watched Eggsy running, totally not understanding why there was any value in chasing the ball, but they had no choice but to chase him, so they could only run as fast as they could.
Then, Eggsy jumped up at the same speed as he was running, stretched out his long legs that came with his 190cm height in the air, and passed the ball directly in the air without stopping it in less than 2 seconds.
"Oh my God! What is this!"
Eggsy didn't stop after landing, and continued to run forward! The person who received his pass was Mahrez, and Mahrez also ran quickly as if he knew what Eggsy was going to do!
Now the whole Leicester City became a running group, everyone was running. Eggsy even passed and distributed the ball directly while running, without even having to stop the ball. He even reorganized the attack several times and used the ball to divert Chelsea's defensive players. All of these were done by Eggsy passing and receiving the ball in the air.
"This, this, can you pass the ball like this!?" The host had never seen such a pass, and neither had Fabregas and Oscar!
How do we intercept this? How do we intercept Eggsy? This kid is running like the wind. How do we intercept the ball? They don't have the ability to pass the ball in a few seconds and see everyone's position!
How the hell is this done?
Eggsy runs and looks at the same time. Of course, his advantage is that he is tall, can see far, and can see clearly. As long as he runs and his teammates try to stay in the position he is familiar with, then Eggsy's instant pass will be fast!
Now Fabregas and Oscar wanted to block the opponent, but they couldn't catch up, and couldn't get the ball, so they could only run around the field with Eggsy. Their physical energy consumption was even greater than Eggsy's. In the first half, Leicester City's several attacks were fast attacks, which made Chelsea unable to catch up.
How to slow down? In the first half, they chased Eggsy half to death, and in the second half, they chased Leicester City's aerial passes? Sorry, they can't fly yet!
Leicester City's fast attack caught Chelsea's ball possession tactics off guard. Of course, Leicester City also suffered a loss of 100 because it hurt the enemy 1,000 times and hurt itself 100 times. Although the threat value to Chelsea was maximized, their attack accuracy was also low.
Chelsea's goalkeeper is no pushover, but no matter how good he is, he will eventually miss the ball after being bombarded like this.
The high frequency and speed of Eggsy's passing is really eye-opening. Many fans on the Internet say that this is a "water-dropping" pass that is shocking. How much reaction and vision does this require? And how accurate is the passing and control of the ball, as well as the organizational ability?
Of course, these words were also seen by the host, who immediately said: "Dragonfly-skimming pass? Too naive, this is a pass? This is simply a mobile turret!"
"Eggsy made good use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses. He used his height, long legs and high agility to combine them to make such an instant pass."
The host was so excited watching Eggsy's quick pass.
"This requires a good grasp of the positioning and tacit understanding of his teammates." Another host echoed: "Eggsy really tried his best to use his strengths and advantages."
This is absolutely true. Eggsy's passing style is really unstoppable. At the same time, Leicester City's quick attack with Eggsy as the fulcrum is so devastating that Chelsea cannot cope with it.
But everyone is worried, can Eggsy really finish the entire game like this?
Therefore, in the second half, whenever Chelsea got the ball, they tried to slow down the pace. On the one hand, they wanted to delay time for their coaching staff to find a way to break Leicester City's fast attack, and on the other hand, they wanted to allow their players to recover their strength.
But this was useless, because as long as Leicester City attacked quickly, they could not be stopped.
So the two sides raced at a fast pace in the second half until the last 10 minutes, which was also the last 10 minutes agreed upon by Eggsy and Mr. Ranieri.
At this time, Eggsy's clothes were soaked with sweat again, and his speed was no longer as fast as at the beginning. But it was useless. Fabregas and Oscar switched with Hazard and another midfielder, but they still couldn't outrun Eggsy.
Moreover, Leicester City's long-distance battle with Chelsea has exhausted their physical strength. Now both sides are exhausted. They want to rely on the possibility of a comeback in the last 10 minutes...
Chelsea is close to 0, but Leicester City still has a chance!
Eggsy now had no idea when he was resting. He was running madly and didn't dare to stop at all, for fear that if he stopped he would fall to the ground and wouldn't be able to get up.
The last 10 minutes were the personal shows of Leicester City's other forwards. They bombarded Chelsea fiercely and finally scored another goal in the 43rd minute.
Of course, Mahrez's goal was fed by Eggsy. His super-fast passing frequency still continues until now, and Mahrez also seized the last chance and scored with a header!
Eggsy finally got some minced meat at the end of the game to satisfy his hungry spirit and breathe a sigh of relief!
The excitement, happiness, and surprise of this mouthful of food really made Eggsy feel like a long-awaited rain. He felt his strength drained away in an instant and almost fell on the court!
Mr. Ranieri originally wanted to use the substitution quota to replace Eggsy, but seeing Eggsy insist on getting up even though his legs were weak, he couldn't bear it for a moment, because he knew that Eggsy wanted to play the whole game.
In the last 2 minutes, Chelsea knew that there was no hope of a comeback, but they still wanted to score a goal in this last minute. The crazy attack almost exhausted all the Leicester City players' last bit of physical strength!
