Chapter 43 New Friends
"We all love football, so there's no turning back."
Eggsy couldn't tell what his mentality was when he heard these words, but he felt instantly overwhelmed by Fabregas' deep love for football.
He was rubbing his teacup and thinking about his original intention. He had indeed not considered football at the beginning. But what about now? Even if Eggsy really had no talent, he would probably like it, right?
Because football has brought him not only fun, money, and fame, but most importantly, he has been able to meet so many people, so many people who care about him and guide him. This is Eggsy's greatest wealth.
"I will continue playing too." Eggsy looked at Fabregas and said, "Because I like football."
Fabregas laughed when he heard the answer, but Eggsy didn't know why, when he looked at Fabregas' smile, he always felt a little sad.
Of course, it is sad, Fabregas's friends are all in La Masia, and they form one of the world's top clubs, Barcelona. And because Fabregas' position overlaps with his friends, Barcelona can only sell him out.
Fabregas also knew that he could only continue to play if he came out, so Fabregas said goodbye to his friends and came to Chelsea.
So when Fabregas saw Eggsy, it was like seeing himself at Barcelona, so he was willing to let himself, a traveler, chat with him on a lonely night.
"You will go further than me." Fabregas looked at Eggsy and smiled. He then poured Eggsy another cup of tea: "Aren't you sleepy after the game today?"
"I slept for a long time on the bus." Eggsy didn't say that he had a cold or a fever, but instead asked Fabregas: "You played very hard in the game today, aren't you sleepy?"
"I went to bed after the game," Fabregas smiled, "and then I was hungry."
"Hahaha, me too~" Eggsy smiled and took a sip of tea. Suddenly, the two of them started chatting a lot.
Eggsy told Fabregas about his time in the orphanage, and Fabregas told him about his relationship with a divorced mother who was 12 years older than him. The two of them really said everything they should and shouldn't say.
The two of them chatted as they ate, and luckily this Spanish tapas restaurant was open 24 hours a day, so they really kept chatting.
As a result, after ordering a dish, a pot of tea came, and the two of them talked and laughed while eating. In the end, they both felt a little sleepy. Fabregas looked outside and then looked at his watch. It was not yet 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Let me take you home!" Fabregas saw Eggsy couldn't help rubbing his eyes, so he said to him: "You do look sleepy."
Eggsy rubbed his eyes and didn't argue. He was much weaker than he thought after recovering. Fortunately, Fabregas drove here, so it wasn't a big deal to send Eggsy back to the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, Fabregas and Eggsy were still discussing some midfield techniques and moves in the car. Especially in terms of passing, Fabregas even said he wanted to teach Eggsy how to pass with his heel.
So when Eggsy got off the car, they exchanged phone numbers. Eggsy estimated that because of the big battle with Chelsea yesterday, Leicester City would not leave the hotel so quickly.
So Eggsy couldn't wait to arrange a place with Fabregas and exchanged cell phones, looking like he was going to have another big fight. But sometimes, man's plans are not as good as God's plans. Eggsy quietly returned to his room, thinking that he would do it perfectly, but when he opened the door, he saw Vardy and Morgan sitting opposite him.
Oh!
It's over.
Eggsy could only purse his lips, cough lightly in an attempt to ease his embarrassment, and then walked in obediently.
"Are you still awake?"
Vardy sneered a few times, and Captain Morgan asked directly: "Where have you been?"
Eggsy scratched his cheek with his fingers and said embarrassedly: "I went out for a walk and ate something." Then he took out the pie in his hand.
With food, at least Vardy's face looked better. His own cubs were not those heartless little ones who would eat alone. But Captain Morgan was still very worried and nagging for a while, and then let Eggsy go.
Of course, Eggsy was very considerate and gave the rest of the pie to the captain to take back. Captain Morgan finally said, "I won't tell Mr. Ranieri that you went out privately today, but don't do this next time. Go out alone in the middle of the night, okay?"
"Got it, got it." Eggsy answered without a trace of perfunctoriness. Since it was only a little after midnight outside, everyone ate something and went back to sleep.
He slept until noon. If Vardy hadn't called Eggsy, he would have probably slept until the afternoon. Then everyone saw the dazed Eggsy being led out of the dormitory by Vardy.
Mr. Ranieri looked at Eggsy who was still sleepy, and finally couldn't bear to say anything to him. He could only say dryly: "People tend to feel tired after being sick. Eggsy, you should finish your lunch and then go to sleep on the bus."
Eggsy nodded, but woke up the next second: "Lunch? Go to the bus after lunch? We are leaving?"
Ranieri obviously didn't want to explain it to Eggsy again, so Mahrez pulled Eggsy over and explained in a low voice: "Yesterday, the Chelsea manager invited us to stay here. Mr. Ranieri meant to treat them to a meal, and then we'll be even."
Eggsy nodded in sudden realization, then asked Mahrez: "So we're going back this afternoon?"
Mahrez looked at Eggsy strangely and asked, "You're going to pay for the hotel if we don't go back?"
Then the cute and confused Eggsy finally came to his senses and quickly took out his phone to contact Fabregas. If for nothing else, just because Fabregas promised to teach him the back-heel pass and header pass skills, Eggsy was already thinking about how to cancel this lunch.
On the other hand, Chelsea's prince Figlisi is in a very good mood now. He had a meeting with a group of Chelsea managers last night. The post-processing of Chelsea's loss to Leicester City last night has been announced, and the current head coach must submit his resignation.
But they also have their own ideas about Chelsea's current situation. For example, in Chelsea's current lineup, there is indeed no young player like Eggsy who can fight three at once and can attack and defend, which really makes them feel good.
So the management team led by Fidelis really took a fancy to Eggsy, but now was not the transfer season, so even if they wanted to poach him, the timing was not right. But Fidelis wanted to establish a good relationship first, so that it would be easier to start.
Since his father took over Chelsea in 2009, Chelsea has always used this kind of relationship to consolidate its relationship with various players in the football world. In this way, every season, Chelsea can get a lot of good players from major clubs, many of whom are not needed by the system but have excellent personal abilities.
Leicester City has achieved good results this year. In addition to Vardy, there is Eggsy and the back line system. But compared with other people, Eggsy's youth has also become an important condition for him to be the first choice.
So today, when Figueres was preparing to attend the lunch, he specially asked Mr. Ranieri to wear all the players, intending to take this opportunity to get to know Eggsy and improve his favor.
This is typical businessman thinking.
Unfortunately, no matter how loud the calculations were, they were not as strange as the fact that Eggsy did not come at all. Eggsy was learning new skills on the court with Chelsea's midfielder Fabregas.
Knowing that he would leave in the afternoon, Eggsy connected with Fabregas via video in the hotel room and started new learning content.
Of course, Fabregas was also happy to compete with this 11-year-old player who made him laugh, and he also taught him some tricks.
"So, these are some of your La Masia techniques?" After practicing for a whole afternoon, Eggsy looked at Fabregas on the screen with a rosy face and smiled.
"Of course," Fabregas said without hiding anything. He looked at Eggsy with a smile and said, "Although it has a not-so-nice nickname, I think it is still the best football training institution."
Eggsy smiled, then said naturally: "Well, I don't have the chance to go~"
But this sentence woke Fabregas up. He suddenly smiled and asked Eggsy: "If in the future, I mean if, um... Barcelona invites you, will you consider it?"
Um?
Eggsy was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then he really thought about it for a while, while Fabregas on the opposite side was really waiting for his answer.
"I will consider it, but for now, I will not leave Leicester City." Eggsy said this with great seriousness, "Here are my mentors, friends, and teammates, and I also want to establish my own vision here, at least to have some achievements to show."
Fabregas nodded when he heard this, but he still gave a subtle advice: "Don't get too emotionally invested in the club."
Eggsy had obviously never heard such a sentence before, but he couldn't explain it for a moment, so he just nodded: "Okay, I remember it."
Fabregas nodded, feeling that as a senior, this was enough for him to say and there was nothing more to say.
Meanwhile, at the lunch, Fidelis was drinking wine with a polite smile on his face. But after looking at all the players around him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
How come everyone came except Eggsy? Did Leicester know something and deliberately didn't bring him?
So Fidelis had a lot of doubts during the meal, but Mr. Ranieri didn't know that he thought both the host and the guest were happy. Mr. Ranieri didn't know that Eggsy told him that he had a cold and felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to continue sleeping because he was going to learn new moves, and just missed the opportunity for the prince of Chelsea to poach him.
Both parties happened to have their own goals, and they missed each other perfectly. After the lunch, Mr. Ranieri asked everyone to pack their luggage and leave by bus in the afternoon.
Eggsy had a fruitful day today, looking through his phone, texting with Ramos and Momo, while keeping an eye on all of Fabregas' social media. He also watched some of Fabregas's action collections, which consolidated Fabregas's teachings to him today.
Ramos and Momo just came out of the gym and saw Eggsy's text message today.
':) Momo! Oh, and Mr. Ramos~
I met a very good midfielder today, he taught me a lot of tricks, not only fancy but also very useful. Especially in ball control and field control, his series of solid theoretical lessons stunned me.
Especially when it comes to penetration and defense, you all have rich experience, but I don’t know if you know it.
We will be back to Leicester City in the afternoon. The day of rest passed by so quickly. I hope you have a good time today too.
Your friend, EG.'
After reading the text message, Modric smiled, but Ramos didn't know why he suddenly felt very familiar with the player who was good at ball control and had many tricks that Eggsy mentioned between the lines.
Ramos: ...Could it be our neighbor next door?
On the other hand, Leicester City returned to their training base before dusk and just as they got off the bus, they received a notice that the next opponent they would play was Newcastle United, known as the 'Magpies'.
Mr. Ranieri just got off the car and was about to prepare for tactical arrangements and player training, while Eggsy was looking at the bright red sunset, but was still worried about the homework he had on his desk.
QAQ!!!
Especially on this summer afternoon, Eggsy grabbed his hair again in annoyance as he looked at his geometry and algebra problems. He was still calculating over and over again in his draft book, but when Brainless Lun couldn't get any results no matter how hard he calculated, he gave up.
Eggsy's method of showing off is to take out his mobile phone, open Twitter, Facebook, and INS, then take a photo and post it online.
Eggys: Who knows this question? Please explain it in detail! [Picture]
