Chapter 53: Luck
The season has just begun, but Leicester City has already ranked in the top five of the standings as a dark horse. This momentum is really scary.
While Leicester City is acting as a dark horse, they also do not want to give up their current good result in the standings, so naturally they have to seize every opportunity they get, allowing weak teams to score goals and strong teams to hide.
Therefore, Leicester City's obvious tactic was to maintain the 1-point gap at the start of the game. 1 point is very stable, 2 points are very good, and 3 points are not too many.
But this requires a lot of explosive power from the players. After all, not everyone has the ability to suppress the opponent at the beginning of the game.
Therefore, Leicester City players need to train their explosive power frequently, and usually they are divided into two teams with the second team to start training.
Today, Eggsy came to the training ground early to relax his brain which had been tortured by the exam season in the past few days.
Because Mr. Ranieri and the physical trainer asked Eggsy to warm up before starting training, Eggsy's first stop was still the gym.
Mahrez, who is always the first to arrive at the gym, arrived at the same time today, but unexpectedly found that someone else had arrived before him. When he saw who it was, he found that Eggsy was wearing headphones and dancing on the treadmill at high speed.
It's not really dancing, but the whole person is rotating 360 degrees on the treadmill. This rotation is not fake, but the body is really rotating with the rotation of the steps.
Eggsy didn't even seem to look at his feet. He first turned sideways and used his footsteps to ensure his movement and balance. Then he reached out to the control console and pressed the acceleration button. While speeding up, he turned around instantly and started running backwards with his back to the opponent.
Then increase the speed to the fastest, turn to the other side, continue to quickly alternate your feet to keep moving, and finally turn back to the front.
Mahrez was stunned, he had never seen Eggsy train like this, it felt really cool.
And Eggsy's running exercise is just a basic warm-up. The fact that he is wearing headphones and listening to Latin music speaks volumes - it's no big deal.
Mahrez watched from the side for a long time and was amazed by Eggsy's flexibility. Now when he thinks of how slippery this kid was on the court, he can imagine that his changes in direction and movement can indeed make people slippery.
Eggsy trained for 2 kilometers, which took him less than ten minutes, so he got off the treadmill and turned to the leg training equipment, intending to train his long, straight legs with well-proportioned muscles.
At this time, Eggsy saw Mahrez standing at the door secretly watching his training. Eggsy didn't mind at all, and his first reaction was to wink at him, then smiled, showing his iconic little tiger teeth again.
“Hey!”
Mahrez couldn't help but laugh, said hello to Eggsy, and the two of them went their separate ways.
Eggsy was about to get on the leg training machine, but when he turned around, he saw that there seemed to be black threads on Mahrez's body. He was stunned for a moment.
He had seen this black thread on Mr. Modric before, and he would help him pull it out without making a sound. Although the black thread would disappear every time he pulled it out, Eggsy didn't think much about it.
He never thought about why there were so many black lines on Mr. Modric's body, and thought that maybe it was the cat hair of the cat they had at home, or a thread on his clothes, or something else.
But when he saw it today from Mahrez, and even more obviously than from Mr. Modric, Eggsy clearly felt that something was wrong.
He did not rashly pull out the thread because an idea came to his mind.
'Could it be... something bad?'
In fact, if we really talk about superstition, there are all kinds of myths and legends and psychic stories in the land of Britain. The officially recognized supernatural events alone are enough to attract attention.
Not to mention, there are people who would directly publish curse advertisements in newspapers. The general public has no objection to such things.
With this in mind, Eggsy said to Mahrez: "Mahrez, there is a thread behind you."
Mahrez turned around immediately without any doubt, because he was wearing a white sportswear, so if there was a thread, it should be very obvious.
"Where?"
When Mahrez asked him where the thread was, he reached out and touched his back, but still found nothing.
But in Eggsy's eyes, this black line was so unreal that it even passed through Mahrez's hand that had just touched his back. This made Eggsy begin to doubt that only he could see this line.
To be honest, he himself didn't believe this kind of second-rate idea. Could it be that he had read too much recently and his brain was dizzy? ? ?
"I... saw it wrongly."
Eggsy pinched his brows and looked again, only to find that the thread behind Mahrez was still there. For a moment, he even wondered if he should go to the hospital.
Mahrez didn't care, he smiled and joked: "Have you read too much recently and your eyes are blurry? I'm serious, you read too late, go to bed early and don't strain your eyes."
After saying that, Mahrez did not start pulling the tire to practice the explosive power of his waist, abdomen and legs. Instead, he got on the treadmill that Eggsy had just turned around and ran, and then turned on the switch.
He started running. Eggsy didn't think about what Mahrez wanted to do. He just thought he was just doing some warm-up exercises. By the way, Eggsy was still thinking about when he would be free to get an eye check-up.
But the next second, Mahrez started to experiment with Eggsy's turning movement on the treadmill.
It was okay at the beginning. After all, Mahrez is an old player and he certainly has that flexibility. So there was absolutely no problem when he did this move.
Eggsy also just took a look and smiled, but then his smile suddenly froze.
Because the black threads on Mahrez's body suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and they were no longer threads, but like mist, covering his back. This scene immediately made Eggsy's whole body tense!
At this time, Mahrez was still sitting on the treadmill, doing the same thing Eggsy had just done, and he even put his hand on the acceleration button.
Eggsy, who didn't know what was going to happen, was watching Mahrez's operation at this time. He had no evidence and didn't know how to remind him, so he simply got off the leg training machine and walked to the treadmill.
Mahrez thought Eggsy came here to provide free action guidance, and was thinking about turning around and running backwards to say something to Eggsy.
Suddenly, the treadmill under his feet shook violently, and it accelerated rapidly as if it had gone crazy. Mahrez, who was standing on it, was unable to stand at all, and after speeding up his pace, he was thrown out!
Behind him was a wall. If it was just a wall, it would be fine. At most, he would get hurt and spend the whole day in pain. But there was a rack of dumbbells in the corner!
If Mahrez really hits it, the injury will definitely not be a minor one. At most, it will be fatal!
In Eggsy's eyes, Mahrez was really about to hit headfirst! Even if Mahrez held his head with both hands to evade, it was in vain!
So Eggsy, who was standing aside, almost instinctively stretched out his hand and pulled Mahrez hard. In this pull, Eggsy used almost all his strength, causing Mahrez to crash directly into him.
The next second, the whole gym was filled with noises of falling and things hitting each other, and two people fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Several teammates who were changing clothes at the door heard the noise and rushed in.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Should we call the team doctor?"
"Go quickly!"
His teammates worked together to help Mahrez float up, because Eggsy was pressed down by Mahrez and couldn't catch his breath, and he coughed several times.
He had just used a lot of force to grab Mahrez, which resulted in Mahrez hitting him with a lot of force.
The teammates wanted to help Eggsy up, but Mahrez stopped them.
"Call the team doctor first! Check it out," Mahrez stopped his teammates, and then quickly asked Eggsy who was lying on the ground: "How are you?"
Just now, two people fell to the ground together. I don't know where Mahrez hit Eggsy, but his cheeks were bruised and scratched, and even the corners of his mouth were scratched, and he immediately spit out blood.
"Eggsy!"
"Yeah, it's okay."
It was not until the team doctor came running over, checked and found that Eggsy was fine that he was allowed to get up.
Of course, Eggsy's face was covered with a lot of medicine. He didn't know where the child's face was hit, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were all broken. But Eggsy didn't care at all, and looked like he was distracted.
Just now he discovered that the fog behind Mahrez did not dissipate due to this accident, but became even bigger! After realizing that this black line and fog were probably bad luck, Eggsy quickly reached out and patted Mahrez's shoulder calmly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
When he said this, Eggsy had already grabbed the black mist with his hand, and then the mist behind Mahrez disappeared instantly. Eggsy himself felt that the feeling of fullness that had just accumulated was gone.
Mahrez also felt a little relieved, thinking it was because Eggsy said he was fine...
Half an hour later, when Eggsy came out of the medical room, he immediately called Ramos who had returned to Spain.
Although what he wanted to ask was about Modric, he did not call Modric, but Ramos.
Remember that Eggsy helped Modric pull the threads several times before?
Eggsy suspects that if this represents bad luck, then just like Mahrez today, if Eggsy helps Modric get rid of the bad luck, good things should happen to him.
The call was connected soon.
"...I'm still a little worried about his old injury. You know I don't dare to ask him personally, so I have to ask you first."
Ramos certainly knew about Modric's situation, and he was happy that Eggsy cared about his friend!
"It's healed, he's recovered well." Ramos was also working out at the moment, and he did stop to reply to Eggsy: "The doctor said he's recovered well, he's very lucky."
As soon as he heard this, Eggsy understood that things were just as he thought. However, things were far from being that simple.
At this moment, Eggsy suddenly thought of the information he had read about Taotie: the mythical beast Taotie was in charge of luck, and he also had a certain understanding of why he could never get enough to eat.
His sense of fullness comes from the luck transformed from his accumulated happiness, excitement, and excitement, but every time he pulls the thread, he is using his luck to eliminate other people's disasters.
When he thought that he could help people around him change their fortunes, Eggsy couldn't help but feel happy. But he also secretly made up his mind not to use it indiscriminately, because he would be really hungry after using it up! QAQ
After the treadmill failure in the gym today, the club conducted a comprehensive inspection of all sports equipment that evening.
During this period, Mahrez couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if Eggsy hadn't pulled him back.
While feeling scared about the consequences, he also felt guilty for getting Eggsy involved, especially when he saw the broken corner of the cub's mouth, he felt even more distressed.
The injury lasted until two days later, and they were unable to recover from the match against Wolves. As a player who has been in the spotlight recently, Eggsy is naturally the topic of all broadcast media and hosts before the game.
But when the camera was really in the player tunnel and filmed this handsome midfielder, everyone noticed the scratches on his face and the wounds at the corners of his mouth. They immediately took out their mobile phones or used the remote controls to frantically film and press pause!
"Holy crap! Battle damaged version! So hot!"
