Chapter 117
The last World Cup qualifier in 2008 was against Belarus. After Endrit came on the field, he and his national team teammates took away three goals from the opposite home court.
"I finally know where the gap between me and you is."
On the way back in the car, goalkeeper David James sat next to Endrit and sighed. "If I were the goalkeeper in this game, the score would probably be 1:3, but you are the goalkeeper, so the score is 0:3. Although both of us will win, I can win because the opponent is not that powerful, and you can win because the opponent has no threat to you. "
Well. Derit crossed his arms and remained silent. This question was not easy to answer. It felt like nothing was right, so I had no choice but to reach out and pat David James on the shoulder.
"I'm not sad. I think I'm lucky to be the goalkeeper of the same era as you." David James turned his head and looked at Endrit, "One day, I will catch up with you and surpass you!"
Endrit smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Time passed by. Endrit's birthday this year was sandwiched between two games. On the 23rd, he tied with Everton under coach Mourinho. After having a happy birthday, the black-faced man ushered in another game with West Bromwich Albion. This time, Chelsea easily defeated the opponent 2:0, and coach Mourinho finally had a smile on his face.
As the new year enters the winter transfer period, major clubs have contacted Chelsea to make offers for Endrit. Boss Abramovich once again introduced the interview and emphasized that Endrit was not for sale to their club, and Chelsea would not accept any offer from the club for Endrit.
But this attitude did not stop the active clubs. Every time they called, they were thinking: What if, what if Abramovich lost his mind?
Endrit's popularity has also had some unfavorable effects on the club's signings. For example, every time Mourinho asked the club to sign a player, the other club would openly say to use Endrit. Come and change.
Mourinho: Are you thinking about peach!
In this winter window, Mourinho only signed two experienced veterans. The main one was to deepen the thickness of the bench and let the veterans teach the young guys some practical tricks he summed up by crawling around on the court. experience.
After the short holiday, Chelsea entered the second half of the season. Chelsea first ushered in the Champions League round of 16, played two games with their old rival Arsenal, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a record of 1:0 and 0:1. War begins in Liarreal.
Except for Villarreal, none of the remaining teams did not envy Chelsea's luck, because Chelsea almost defeated Villarreal in a crushing manner and easily advanced to the semi-finals. At the same time, Porto, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern and others were still fighting, and finally four teams, Manchester United, Barcelona, Liverpool and Chelsea, entered the semi-finals.
The English media are once again collectively excited: This year's Champions League will be another civil war in England. Hey hey~
The dream of the English media was overturned by Barcelona. The two teams in the final decisive battle this year are Barcelona and Chelsea.
In addition to Barcelona fans, most Spanish fans also support Barcelona to win the championship. After all, the gap was forged during the European Cup last year. This year, the two teams will show off at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Spanish fans must not miss this revenge. It's a good time, Barcelona will definitely be able to... eh? Bridge beans sack! Why is Chelsea's posture exactly the same as last year's European Cup finals? ! Why did they all rely on penalty kicks to win? !
Damn it (a dirty word!)
Mourinho felt that he was wronged. He did not have a bus in front of the goal like Chelsea, but this game focused more on defense than before. And isn't this a sign of respect for Barcelona? In the semi-finals, their Chelsea players were all flying around the field, bombarding the opposite goal without paying any attention to defense.
Last season, Chelsea won four crowns. This season, Chelsea won four crowns again. Abramovich almost smiled crookedly. He has been pursuing the championship. He thought it would be far away from him. Who knew that this thing would be so within reach.
Chelsea fans feel like they can look at other people's noses when they go out. They have never been so happy. They feel like they are stepping on cotton and everything is like a dream.
The fans of the other clubs simply couldn't stand this terrible thing for them, but when they saw Endritt appear in the World Cup qualifiers during the summer break, these frontcourt players suddenly felt that Endritt was not good enough. So annoying.
The England team, which was placed in the sixth group, played against Belarus in the final group match. After an easy 3-0 win at home, the England national team officially qualified first in the group. At this point, the England national team does not need to participate in the competition for the time being. After the third season is over and Chelsea is officially crowned as a dynasty, Endritt ushered in the first World Cup of his career.
Fortunately, the England team was placed in Group C. They played the United States in the first round and narrowly won 1:0 at home. The second round was against Algeria. Endrit played normally and his teammates also played normally, but they failed to score. The game ended with a score of 0:0. In the third round against Slovenia, England once again won by one goal.
In the end, the England team successfully advanced to the quarter-finals with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points. At this point, it has broken the record of the English team in history. At that time, the England team was eliminated because the goal difference was much lower than that of the United States. England fans could not find any excuse for themselves at that time: American football is very strong, so it is excusable for us to lose the game?
This time, Portugal and England both advanced to the quarter-finals. England's match with Ghana came first, while Portugal's match with Spain came last. But after England got off to a good start with a 1:0 victory over Ghana, Portugal failed to keep up three days later and stopped in the quarterfinals.
Endrit only had time to make a phone call to say hello. He was busy training the rest of the time and had no extra time to chat.
On July 2, England met Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Uruguay's players attacked very fiercely and frequently threatened the goal with shots. However, with Endrit guarding them, Uruguay failed to go further.
With five minutes left in overtime, England successfully scored with a long pass from Crouch to Gerrard. England advanced to the semi-finals and will face semi-final opponent the Netherlands four days later.
During the European Cup that year, the two teams met. The Dutch team's only impression of the England team was that the goalkeeper was very powerful. No matter how hard they shot, they could not score. The Netherlands met England in the World Cup this year. After deepening their impression once again, they watched England advance to the finals with one point in the penalty shootout.
At this time, their final opponent, the Spanish team, looked at the England team's lineup and couldn't help but feel sour from top to bottom: Damn it, why did they meet this England team again. They are undoubtedly stronger than the England team, but they can't stand the England team's good luck! They actually randomly received an SSR card.
They pressed the England team throughout the game, but couldn't score. The football flew into Endritt's arms as if it had eyes. They fought hard for a full 120 minutes, and finally lost a goal in less than a minute. points, losing the championship.
Spanish Team: Can we really ban Endrit?
When he went on stage to receive his Golden Glove Award, Endrit felt relieved. He finally got the trophy he wanted most, and he didn't have to be so tired in the future.
Well, let’s start by going to bed early tonight and no longer entering the imagination space to train ~
"End"
