Chapter 64: Battle against Manchester United (I)
Manchester United is already a well-known top team, especially under the leadership of head coach Van Gaal. Under his leadership, Di Maria, Van Persie and Rooney have cooperated very well, and the current results are quite good.
In comparison, although Leicester City's results are good, their forward line is really too thin when compared with Manchester United.
Firstly, there is no tank like Rooney to lead the way in front, and Van Persie is assisting in the back, which is no worse than any 200 million takeoff.
Such a Manchester United is full of threats, whether they are attacking in two lines or working together as one. Their ability to fight and withstand attacks is really a nightmare for all defenders.
Leicester City and Manchester United have two different qualities in terms of forward line.
But when it comes to midfield, Leicester City is slightly better. Of course, the current midfield mobile turret Eggsy has become Leicester City's point-pulling item.
On the contrary, Manchester United has never produced any good midfielders. They have tried to train but just can't produce any good ones. But what's even more strange is that they can always win.
But there are even more weird things about Leicester City. A midfield with sufficient firepower and will not lose the ball no matter what, provides the best guarantee for Leicester City's defensive counterattack.
It can be said that the whole team depends on Eggsy for their survival, but now Eggsy is being benched.
To be honest, when they were in the player tunnel, the Leicester City players had gloomy faces and were nervous because they couldn't see their own players.
I don't know if the young midfielder who came on as a substitute can perform well. Although he seems very active now, he doesn't seem very reliable.
This young midfielder who was promoted from the second team is still talking to his teammates everywhere, but no one wants to pay attention to him, from the captain Morgan to Vardy who has the worst temper. But he is unaware of it and keeps jumping around.
Fortunately, the director didn't cut to the player channel for long, so it was not obvious that there was a huge hidden danger in Leicester City's current lineup. But Eggsy and Mr. Ranieri could see it, and they looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
Eggsy kept silent because he believed Mr. Ranieri could definitely handle the matter.
Mr. Ranieri didn't say anything because he did have his own plans, but it was obviously not convenient to talk about them now.
This is Manchester United's home ground. Who knows if there are a lot of oral masters squatting nearby, ready to watch their decision?
Eggsy was wearing a white sportswear today. Compared to when he was wearing a jersey, the boy now had a certain refreshing beauty. It just so happened that the shed in the rest area was transparent, and the sunlight shone through the shed and created the Tyndall effect on Eggsy, giving him a hazy and beautiful effect.
But at this moment, the director turned the camera towards Eggsy with a meaningful look, just in time to capture Eggsy's appearance at that moment, causing all the audience who saw this scene to feel a collective jolt in their hearts.
The tranquil beauty under the sunshine, coupled with the contrast of light, makes Eggsy as beautiful as the hazy morning dew in the paintings of painter Monet.
In the picture, Eggsy just happened to be supporting his chin with his hand and turning his head to look at the player tunnel, revealing his beautiful half-profile and slender swan neck. The faint presence of his Adam's apple gave off a neutral and pure beauty.
In addition, Eggsy's side profile perfectly highlights his long and thick eyelashes. At this time, the child's beauty is accompanied by a hint of sadness, and the sadness is hazy, which makes all the audience's hearts beat fast!
It’s not that they are straight men who have become gay, it’s just that Eggsy is too pretty!
"Damn it! I really want to keep my baby's beauty all to myself!"
"How can you fancy my kid!?"
"You who stole my cub! Draw your sword!"
The fans couldn't help but drool at his looks, and of course many careful viewers noticed that Eggsy was looking at something from the side the whole time.
But when the director changed the screen, he found that Eggsy was looking at the player tunnel!
After knowing the answer, looking at Eggsy's expression, the fans in front of the TV felt even more heartbroken!
"My kid wants to come out of the player tunnel, right? My kid wants to go on the court, right? Daddy/Mom understands you!"
Fans are feeling outraged at Eggsy's injustice, but they have no idea that this is not what Eggsy was thinking at all.
He just looked at the player tunnel and thought about his first meeting with Mr. Modric and what Mr. Modric said to him.
He has no idea that in the hearts of the fans, Eggsy has now become a complete pitiful person and is now looking forward to being able to get on the court.
When the director and the host saw the somewhat pitiful Eggsy in the camera, the director froze the frame for a long time, while the host was strangely silent.
The director wanted to increase the ratings by freezing the shot on Eggsy, but he didn't expect the host to suddenly go silent and say nothing in these few short minutes.
Is it that the host doesn't want to say it? Of course not. If the host really wants to say something, he can definitely say it in a grandiose way.
He was shocked by Eggsy's beauty at first, but then, like the fans, he thought Eggsy was sad that he couldn't play. So he couldn't bear to say anything about this kid, so he could only pretend to be quiet and let the audience enjoy the beautiful view.
As a result, this video has become the most popular video in major media outlets recently, especially with various self-media adding titles such as the most beautiful talented player in the Premier League, making the name Eggsy completely famous because of this video.
"Leicester City's away game against Manchester United is about to begin," the host was already in place, and his passionate voice suddenly made the originally quiet atmosphere in the stadium boil. "Let's take a look at the lineups of both teams!"
The starting lineups of the two teams appeared on the big screen, but of course Eggsy was not on it, which made many viewers boo. Of course, the boos were not for Eggsy, but for the management of Leicester City.
Then the two sides of Leicester City started to draw lots. Mr. Ranieri stroked his chin and looked at the field, watching Morgan holding the team flag to draw lots to decide who would attack first.
In the end, Leicester City was lucky enough to get the first chip, but just as they started to attack, Eggsy couldn't help but turn his face away...
We can't say there was anything wrong with the young midfielder from Team 2. He passed the ball when he should have passed it and intercepted the ball when he should have intercepted it, but - there was just something not right. Once compared with Eggsy's previous dribbling, passing, and even interceptions, there was a world of difference.
The new midfielder obviously didn't have enough time to adapt to the other players, so he kicked the ball hesitantly during the game.
In terms of passing alone, Eggsy may be more penetrating, and after other players see Eggsy's pass, they can obviously know what Eggsy's next move will be.
After changing to this position, Leicester City's attack was aborted just 3 minutes into the first half. Then in the second half, when Manchester United attacked, the midfielder failed to retreat in time, which caused a loophole in Leicester City's defense and almost let the ball slip!
Not to mention Mr. Ranieri on the sidelines, even his teammates on the field looked a little grumpy. It can be said that the poor midfielder's momentum made Leicester City's overall offensive very unsmooth. Such an attack, let alone breaking through Manchester United's defense, would be difficult for them to defend themselves.
"Leicester City is not in good form today." The host couldn't help but complain after watching the back-and-forth situation: "The passing is a bit weak in offense, which leads to the sluggish offense. Now Manchester United is attacking - Rooney and Van Persie's attack today is a pincer attack. How will Leicester City respond?"
On the field, when Leicester City's defense was constantly being pushed back by Manchester United, they still relied on Vardy and Mahrez to grab the ball to ease the situation.
But this would not work in the long run. Eggsy looked at Mr. Ranieri anxiously and found that he did not seem to be in a hurry at all.
"gentlemen…"
Eggsy never doubted Mr. Ranieri's strategy, but seeing his team playing like this, Eggsy became a little anxious.
Ranieri was sitting next to him at this time, and he seemed very calm. So Eggsy didn't dare to say anything further, and could only continue to remain silent.
"Fortunately, Vardy and Mahrez cleared the ball in time," the host continued to explain, "otherwise Leicester City would be in trouble this time."
"Leicester City is now following Manchester United's rhythm, which is very dangerous!" The guest of this episode is a well-known football commentator. After seeing Leicester City's struggle, he couldn't help but say: "The team's progressive tactics are completely broken, which leads to Leicester City's overall slow attack."
"This just hits Manchester United's strengths. Manchester United is very good at fast breaks, so they can block Leicester City's deadly attack and chase them relentlessly."
"Oh, Leicester City captain Morgan made a successful interception! Beautiful, this time he continued to pass the ball, Okazaki Shinji took the ball and went around one, what a good pass."
Shinji Okazaki on the field already knew that the new midfielder was unreliable, so he didn't dare to pass the ball to the opponent and could only rely on himself to break through.
But can Manchester United break through so easily? Okazaki Shinji was intercepted just after passing the midfield, so they had to pass the ball.
But the midfielder was intercepted just after he received the ball and turned around! ! !
"Leicester City made a mistake!" The host shouted at this time, waking up the sleepy fans who were supposed to be watching the ball going back and forth!
Now Manchester United's Van Persie has the ball on the field, and Rooney in front of him is bumping into other players, becoming a tank that clears the way for Van to enter the penalty area!
All Leicester City fans were terrified after seeing this, fearing that they would lose the ball after struggling on the field for 7 minutes!
But Van Persie was still blocked by Leicester City's defense, so Van Persie immediately passed the ball to Rooney, trying to let Rooney score from close range.
However, Leicester City goalkeeper Kolo Toure really tried his best and rushed towards the ball, grabbing the ball before Rooney. It was really thrilling.
Just when Eggsy was relieved, Mr. Ranieri, who had been watching the game, suddenly asked, "Eggsy, do you want to play?"
"From now on, when you see through Manchester United's tactics, you will be allowed to play."
Mr. Ranieri's tone was too firm to allow Eggsy to refuse.
