Chapter 34
After six club friendly matches, Zhou Liran kept clean sheets in every game. The English media outside has begun to praise him as a goalkeeper.
David Seaman almost cried. I have shed my blood for the Three Lions. I am also an Englishman. I have also kept many clean sheets against opponents. How come I have never been praised as the goalkeeper? Is it because I'm not standing high enough? Or is it because I'm not handsome enough?
Forget it! You still have to do everything possible to find me, who has retired, for an interview, and ask me what I think of the Iron Mask? The Iron Masked Superman...huh?
"Iron Man?" David Seaman suppressed his laughter. "He, um, Endrit is the Iron Man? Hmm... I think it's pretty good. My wife likes him a lot, hahaha... ..."
David Seaman couldn't hold it back because he had never heard such a funny nickname before.
"Well, what do you think of his future? Then I wish him the best to join the national team as soon as possible, but I think his data in only six club friendly matches is obviously not enough, so I still hope that he can continue to keep clean sheets and become a real player for us in England. "Goalkeeper."
Although he didn't stop laughing, what David Seaman said later was true. He really wanted England to have a real goalkeeper who would be famous all over the world, not just in England. The king's door god.
David Seaman looked at the recorders held by the reporters in front of him, took a deep breath and said seriously: "If Endrit can really keep keeping opponents like this in the future, then we won't always fail in the World Cup. "
Modern football originated in England, but English football... Alas, even if the Football Association wants to protect local players, if you can't stand up on your own, you won't be able to do it once you get to the Champions League and World Cup. Thinking about the World Cup in Korea and Japan that he participated in... Damn, rubbish stick, nmsl!
David Seaman, who was cursing in his heart, obviously couldn't curse directly, so he ended the interview early. The media did not continue to ask questions, and left very politely with the recorder. David Seaman suddenly felt better. Li: Look, although he has retired, his status is still there. When the media saw this year's new goalkeeper, didn't they immediately think of him as a meritorious goalkeeper?
…
After the six club friendly matches, the next game is the English Community Shield. This is a tournament organized by the Football Association every year. The opponents of both sides are the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion of last season. It is a historical match. A long-standing competition, held every year before the start of the new Premier League season, which is equivalent to the opening game of the new Premier League season.
It is worth mentioning that there is no prize money in the Community Shield. The winning team will receive a Community Shield, and all proceeds from the game will be donated to charity.
No one knows whether there was a discount for the final donation, but they are very active when selling tickets every year. When Chelsea was still playing a friendly match with Brondby, this year's Community Shield Cup was already publicized, and everyone was I know that the opponents in this year's game are Chelsea and Manchester United.
And on the night after the club's friendly match on August 1st, Mourinho looked at Endrit who was lowering his head to eat and asked abruptly: "I will still use the substitute lineup for the Community Shield this year. Can you hold on?" The goal?"
Zhou Liran almost spit out his food and looked up at Mourinho after swallowing the food in his mouth, "Ah?"
"Then I'll take it as your acquiescence."
"No, coach, the opponent is Manchester United..."
"What's wrong with Manchester United? What are you afraid of?" Mourinho sneered, completely ignoring the man who has dominated the Premier League for decades. "Even if we lose, I won't let you play without the ball. Remember Just stay."
"Oh." Zhou Liran said softly, but he was still a little confused, "Coach, what do you mean?"
Mourinho picked up the water glass and put it in front of Zhou Liran, "Drink some water. "Why are there so many problems with eating?"
Zhou Liran: ...
Zhou Liran returned to his home full of doubts and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Mourinho was going to do. However, after taking a shower, he put a towel on his head. On his head, he walked to the desk and took out a black leather diary from the black backpack placed next to him.
This was the first thing he bought for himself with the pocket money he got from his grandfather when he was very young. On it was what he wrote about his previous life when he was a child. At that time, he was very afraid that he would forget his previous life, that he would forget his name, everything he had been, and that he would make the same mistakes again, so he quickly wrote down whatever came to his mind.
After writing on and off for more than ten years, Zhou Liran discovered that his memory was very good, and he could recall everything in his previous life with just a few moments of recall.
So this notebook was hidden by himself, and he began to be afraid of recalling his previous life, which was a complete failure for him.
Zhou Liran took out the lighter he bought this afternoon from his pocket, found a basin, threw the diary into the basin, and lit it.
The blazing flames rose instantly. Zhou Liran looked away, took out the calendar from the side, took out a pen and circled Sunday, August 5, and annotated it with a line of small words below: Endrit's first official game.
Yes, Endrit.
He will no longer think in his heart that he has always been the Zhou Liran in his previous life. He will not regard himself as the loser in his previous life. He is Endrit Carter. The name Zhou Liran is just his Chinese name. He , is the future goalkeeper.
Ah, no, people outside are already saying that he is the door god~
Endrit reached out and touched his face, and let out a light tut: Human beings really only care about their faces.
[Ding~]
[After testing, the main system determined that the host has not changed, and the unbinding failed]
The smile on Endrit's face froze, and he grinded his back molars: "System?"
Good guy, he put this aside Say goodbye to the past and embrace a new life. This broken system is trying to unblock him by leaving him with a stuck bug!
...
After a dreamless night, Endrit, who was in a good mood after embracing his new life, came to Chelsea the next day and finally understood why Mourinho suddenly and inexplicably said those words last night.
At this moment, all Chelsea players were standing in the locker room. Mourinho had just announced the starting lineup for the Community Shield on August 5, and it was still a shocking substitute list.
"I know many of you are very dissatisfied with what I said before, that Endritt will always start as long as he can keep a clean sheet. But why, until now, no player dares to stand in front of me and ask me why he can Do you have such a privilege?" Mourinho's voice was not loud, but his words made many people lower their heads unconsciously.
I was really dissatisfied at the beginning, especially when Lampard was played directly in the first game of this season. Many players, even the direct players of Mourinho, were very dissatisfied with Endrit, thinking that he was an airborne soldier. The existence of them has lowered the overall evaluation of these people.
But from the beginning of the second game, they didn't think so. Looking at Mourinho who was extremely strict with Endrit, some players present couldn't help but wonder: Did Endritt offend the coach? ?
But why did the coach say this at this time? Is it because they are dissatisfied with them for "isolating" Endrit? This must be the case, it's been almost a month, and Endrit probably doesn't even know everyone yet.
But it’s not that they don’t want to get to know Endrit. It’s that Endrit is either training or on his way to training. Let’s get to know each other after the training. But they are still lying there to rest. Endrit He was already standing on the court alive and well and continuing to practice throwing balls.
How do they know each other? Where did you know him from?
"I have been waiting for you to tell me your dissatisfaction, so that I can tell you, I am happy to give you all this privilege! As long as you are like Endrit, tell me that whenever he loses a game, he will not If you will stand on the court again, then I will give you this privilege!"
Endrit:? !
WTF? No, you... no wonder he said those words to me last night. So he wanted to provoke his teammates so much today? Hmm...it seems to be helping him integrate into this team.
If Mourinho said this, his teammates would be more accepting of his previous "privilege". He would think that it is not because he is special that he has the privilege, but because he works hard enough to have this privilege. During this period, Mourinho arranged so many trainings for him, and he could not stop every day. This is the best evidence.
"Now, stand up and tell me, who still wants this privilege! As long as there is someone who can do what Endrit says, I can help you train like I helped Endrit. As long as you can do it, even in this world Everyone is opposed to this, and I will keep you in the starting lineup!"
There was silence, and the entire locker room was so quiet that you could even hear breathing.
Endrit felt that many people's eyes were on his face at this moment, as if they were trying to observe his expression - but they were destined to be disappointed, because Endrit had long ago learned to face whatever happened. The skill of expressionless, he was just shocked that Mourinho had no expression at all when he said something.
"Before August 5th, what I said will always be valid. You can come to the office to see me at any time."
Mourinho glanced at everyone and stayed on each person for a few seconds before turning around. Left the locker room.
As soon as Mourinho left, Endritt left and was surrounded by his teammates: Cech, who had been staring at Endritt expressionlessly these days, also came over and said in a surprised tone, "You really said that? You If you can't keep a clean sheet, you won't continue to play?"
Of course, Endritt would not vent his anger at this time. He nodded lightly, "Yes."
John Terry coughed slightly and pulled away. Cech then looked at Endrit, "Why did you do that? I'm not questioning you, I'm just a little surprised, because with your current ability, you will succeed no matter which team you go to, right?
" Want to give a reason? Did you notice something?
"My father is a Chelsea fan, and I am also a Chelsea fan. Coming to Chelsea's youth training is the greatest decision in my life," Endrit paused, remembering a sentence from Shakespeare, "My life can end; The reputation will last forever." Endrit raised his hand and pointed out the window, "One day, I will let
my statue be erected on the Stanford Stadium."
"Okay, the time has come, I'm going to train."
There was silence in the locker room. Everyone opened their mouths silently and turned to look at the people around them. They were relieved when they found that the other person was also surprised.
Help, why is this kid so scary?
They thought this, and then subconsciously looked at Cech. Cech immediately stared back, "Look what I'm doing? I don't have such an idea!"
Cech scolded him back, but in his mind he had to talk to his agent when he went back. , I just don’t know if the promise Boss Abu made to him before still counts?
