Chapter 7 Plan
The players of Leicester City fought hard in this internal competition. The reason is very simple. The players of the second team want to stand out and join the first team. No one wants to waste their youth on the bench.
The players of the main team have used all their strength to defend their position in the main team. In such a place where strength prevails, if you don’t have the ability, it is only a matter of time before you are replaced.
But this competition is not just about the above two items for Eggsy. Eggsy is an amateur, but it is not pleasant for many people to be selected by Mr. Ranieri and promoted to the main team.
It wasn't just the players on the main team who were worried that he would hold them back. The players on the second team were even more dissatisfied when they knew that such an amateur had taken their positions.
Therefore, in the game, the players of the second team paid special attention to Eggsy. They all knew that as long as Eggsy came down, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
But Eggsy must seize this opportunity, so the intensity of this team competition can be fully anticipated.
From the beginning of the game to the halftime break, there were always at least two people surrounding Eggsy.
At the beginning, he still had the energy and space to imitate Modric's technical moves. But later, he had returned to his instinctive state, trying his best to use various moves such as dodging, avoiding, and even blocking with his back to the opponent.
The number of Eggsy's moves really stunned all the players, but because he was given special attention, Eggsy was really exhausted. It was only half a game, but his black hair was already dripping with water, and his movements were not as elegant, graceful, and smooth as before.
The physical trainer on the sidelines was a middle-aged man. He kept his eyes on Eggsy's condition, recording his condition under the impact from time to time, and then slowly curled up the corners of his mouth.
Ranieri saw the smile on the fitness coach's face and knew that his old friend had spotted a good talent.
In fact, Ranieri himself couldn't control the corners of his mouth. He looked at Eggsy and thought of several ways of controlling the ball in the midfield. He couldn't help laughing when he thought about the defensive counterattack with Eggsy.
However, after the half-time break, when he saw Eggsy looking a little out of breath, Ranieri knew that there was another meaning behind the fitness coach's smile: Eggsy needed very systematic and impactful physical training.
It is not good for a midfielder to be physically fit. For example, Eggsy's intensity in the first half was not enough for a big competition. If he continues to consume his energy like this, can he still maintain such a high ball possession rate and accurate long passes in the second half?
During the halftime break, the team's water boy saw him sitting on the sidelines panting, and it seemed that he didn't bring a towel or even water. So the water boy took a bottle of energy drink from his own team and handed it to him.
"Thanks."
Eggsy took the drink and smiled politely back, showing a small canine tooth on one side, which made the water brother feel cute. It just so happened that his baby son also had a cute little canine tooth. Eggsy's smile was very contagious, which made the water brother's heart tremble.
At this time, Eggsy didn't know that he had ignited the cuteness of a certain father, and officially won the second blood of his teammates' friendship. And the good-tempered Drinking Water Brother will soon let Eggsy know what it means to be a father fan who loves to take care of others.
After drinking the glass of water, Eggsy still felt exhausted. He held the ball for more than 27 minutes in the first half, and he was blocked for 27 minutes, without even a single minute of freedom.
Moreover, whenever he went to a checkpoint or appeared in a threatening area, the number of people watching him would immediately increase to two, or more than two. Eggsy now knew what a sandwich was, and this tactic that trapped him in place could only allow him to increase his running volume and running range to get rid of it.
This resulted in his running volume and range in the first half refreshing the tactical coach's data board, which was much greater than the previous Leicester City midfield running.
"Bishop, look." The tactical coach showed him Eggsy's data, which made Ranieri frown again.
Eggsy was clearly still inexperienced. He didn't know how to allocate his limited physical strength, and when he was trying to break free from defense and blockades, his body swings and speed were too consuming.
"Come up with a plan," Ranieri knew that before next week's game, Eggsy might need a systematic training to change his bad habits that he had not yet formed. "It would be best if he could start targeted training tomorrow."
The tactical coach nodded immediately and began to make a series of training arrangements in his data book.
But in the second half, Eggsy was given even more special attention. As long as he appeared in a threatening area and had the ball, he would be surrounded from all sides and unable to move.
"Eggsy." Ranieri couldn't bear it anymore and called out to Eggsy, then made some movements with his hands while shouting at Eggsy: "Pass the ball!"
Eggsy listened to Ranieri's shouting, and was stunned for half a second. Suddenly, he started to speed up, relying on his own running with the ball to open up the blockade circle, and then by passing the ball with his left and right feet and turning around, he actually found a way to break through.
This technique made Ranieri and other coaches laugh, and they felt that this little guy was quite smart and understood things at once. He also knew how to speed up to get rid of the blockade and interception, and then tried to use technical dribbling. When he saw Vardy arrive, he made a long pass without any delay.
The tactical coach was happy now, especially when he saw that Eggsy's ball possession time was reduced, his speed was increased, and the number of long and far passes increased. He was grinning from ear to ear!
Of course, the happiest person is probably Ranieri. He always has a friendly smile on his face when he sees everyone.
The teammates on the field, especially the blue team, should not be too happy today! Eggsy fed Vardy 3 cakes in one breath, and he had 8 assists alone! This kind of good thing that the ball falls from the sky for you to shoot is not every day.
And the ball was so accurate that Vardy felt he had endless energy to torture the goalkeeper of the red team. You know, he scored 3 goals in the first half today, and the blue team only had one striker today, and the two wingers were not very strong.
When Vardy thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Eggsy who was panting on the spot, and suddenly felt that this little guy was actually a little cute! ?
Especially when he feeds the ball to himself, he is so adorable!
When the game was over, the Blue Team won with 4 goals. Everyone on the Blue Team rushed to Eggsy as if they had agreed to do so. They all reached out and touched the black hair of the new player, and surprisingly felt that it felt good.
"Boy, not bad!" Vardy ignored his morning speech of "I don't want to have a good relationship with him" and now he actually pulled Eggsy's neck with his arm and rubbed his hair hard: "Good job!"
As for Eggsy, he just smiled softly at Vardy. That smile successfully bewitched the men, and suddenly reminded them that he was still a 16-year-old kid.
Seeing Eggsy looking at Vardy without daring to speak, Mahrez suddenly slapped Vardy on the head, and then rubbed Vardy's golden hair as if playing with him: "You shot our goal today, it was very happy!"
Vardy was hit on the head by his friend but didn't say anything and just smiled happily. But the next second Mahrez pulled Vardy closer and made him face Eggsy and said, "Vardy is not a bad person, he just misunderstood you. I also misunderstood you before, I apologize!"
Mahrez apologized to Eggsy directly in front of everyone, which made Eggsy a little bit at a loss.
The worst suffered was Vardy, who never expected that he would be sabotaged by his good friend. In panic, he wanted to cover Mahrez's mouth, but he was pushed out of the way.
While holding Vardy, Mahrez said to Eggsy: "He is just stupid, but he is not a bad person. If you are angry about what he said about you before, come on, hit him twice now."
Now all the players knew about Vardy and Eggsy. They looked at Vardy with a bit of disgust, as if to say: Why are you still bullying a child? Shame on you!
Vardy was very sad now, but he did say it and he had to admit it.
But Eggsy didn't hit him. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'm not angry. It's good that the misunderstanding is resolved." Then Eggsy said to Vardy seriously, "How can you shoot? Why can't I shoot accurately?"
This finally gave Vardy a chance to step down. He patted Eggsy on the shoulder and smiled smugly: "Why are you always shooting inaccurately, kid? It's probably because you don't understand the reasons why the ball changes due to the touch zone. Just ask your brother Vardy if you have nothing to do!"
Vardy even broke free from Mahrez, hooked Eggsy past him, and then said like a big bad wolf coaxing a little rabbit: "Come on, call me Vardy brother?"
"That's enough," Okazaki Shinji also started to make trouble, pushing Vardy away and said to Eggsy, "He just likes to make trouble. Basically, you just don't take what he says too seriously, Eggsy! Welcome to the team~"
Eggsy likes these teammates who speak their mind, at least he feels that they are not bad people. Moreover, these teammates are the ones he wants to compete for honor gold in the future, so he will not ruin his ultimate goal for such a small matter!
To be honest, because he assisted Vardy in scoring the goal, everyone cheered happily and celebrated together, and he felt that he had gained a lot of satiety. Now thinking about it, that is the satiety brought by victory and glory!
So Eggsy has made up his mind now - work hard! While practicing shooting, he also feeds the ball to his teammates!
——It feels so good to have a full stomach! QAQ
On the field, the players gathered around the new player Eggsy, and everyone was welcoming him to the team. But Ranieri and other coaches on the sidelines were not in this mood, as they were still busy sorting out the data of all the players.
Then that night, when they held a celebration for Eggsy, the home team players collectively received their new training plans. The home team players looked at the weekly plan in their hands and without exception, they all had a look of despair on their faces.
But they all understand that next week will be a life-and-death match for them, and this match against Queens Park Rangers will also determine their ranking in the standings.
We are already ranked last, and if we continue like this we will definitely be relegated.
A week later, when the sun began to become less scorching, the King Power Stadium welcomed the first game of their new coach.
Although new players were bought and many other players were replaced, the fans were still not interested. Only the die-hard fans in the South Stand were still fully armed and cheering for Leicester City and supporting their beloved team.
In the locker room, Eggsy sat on his seat, looking down at his hands, because at this moment, he was trembling slightly due to nervousness.
