Chapter 59:

Mourinho was the first to notice the change in Endrit, but the reason why Mourinho discovered it so quickly was not because he was very sharp, but because Endrit opened the car door early the next morning. I sat in, fastened my seat belt, closed my eyes and took a nap.

"Coach, let me take a nap first."

Mourinho couldn't press on the accelerator anymore. "You didn't get any rest last night, okay?"

"No, coach," Endrit opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Mourinho. Rinho, "I'm not very sleepy, but I just want to close my eyes and be lazy."

Mourinho didn't know what to say, "Okay, okay, then just close your eyes and be lazy. Wait until it's time." I called you."

When the two arrived at the club and were about to part ways, Endritt didn't leave directly. Instead, he reached out for candy and said with an aggrieved face: "When I first joined the first team as a goalkeeper, you would do it every time. You gave me sweets, but now coach, you don’t give me sweets. Have you started to hate me?”

“What are you thinking about?” Mourinho raised his hand and his mind went crazy, “I was just busy and forgot.” "

Coach, your memory is not so bad..."

Mourinho bent his leg as if to kick someone, but Endritt waved his hand and ran away.

During training, the defenders discovered that Endrit, who was so serious yesterday, was not a limited-edition model. He was equally serious today. When they found that some defenders were not defending well but were eagerly preparing to attack, they would either grab them by the collar. Pull it back, or you won't throw the ball to the opponent again.

In addition, he would also stare sternly at the defender who was always trying to make him play a forward role. He would not say anything, just stare, and the latter would sneer and step back silently. step.

"You are too close to me," Endrit shook his head at Ben Haim, "You take a few more steps forward and try to expand the defensive area of ​​our defense."

Ben Haim nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood. .

On October 7, Chelsea went to the University of Bolton Stadium to challenge Bolton Wanderers. This is also a team that hovers in the relegation zone from time to time, but the number of people who came to watch this game was no less than the previous one.

Endrit was wondering if his popularity had not subsided yet, but after the game ended, he followed the coach to the press conference and learned a piece of news: the game that just passed not only ranked first in ratings, but also ranked first in ratings. It directly broke the TV station’s ratings record!

Could it be that there was something particularly exciting about the game that just passed? Endrit quickly recalled it, but couldn't find anything special.

Bolton put up 343 in this game, a very typical tactical formation that focused on offense and light defense. But because Mourinho very reliably deployed a more defensive 451 in this game, only allowing Kalou to take the forward position, so the goal guarded by Endrit in this game did not suffer from Bolton. Striker Kevin and other players were bombarded.

Several times they were stopped by defenders before they reached the goal. If you calculate carefully, he only saved seven goals in the entire game. And the seven balls he saved were all shot directly by him, without using any complicated saving movements at all.

And to say that the most exciting part of this game is probably the goal Kalou scored in the 43rd minute?

"Are you sure you can handle the tough questions from those reporters?" Mourinho's steps slowed down a little, and after Endrit walked side by side with him, he put his arm around Endrit's shoulders. "In this way, if we meet later If you can't answer the question, just look at me and I'll answer it for you."

Endrit nodded slightly.

Mourinho said no more, let alone asked why Endrit took the initiative to participate in the post-match press conference today: When a child grows up, he cannot always be protected under his wings. He will always have to Facing these reporters’ questions alone.

...

Since Endrit became the starting goalkeeper, he has almost never attended the post-match press conference, and rarely even accepts interviews from reporters. The videos about Endrit that have been circulated outside are basically all his game videos. The kind of video that doesn’t even include introducing yourself to the camera.

This is completely unbelievable to the media. They have never seen such a player before. You must know that the players they praised so much in the past lived under the flash of light almost every day. Endrit is good. Most of his private photos were taken by reporters carrying cameras. He didn’t talk to reporters at all in private. He was picked up and dropped off by Mourinho every day when he went to and from work. He didn’t have any private time to play outside. They happened to run into each other - does that make sense?

His agent Mendes has received so many advertising offers some time ago, but there has been no news about which one he has shot - is this reasonable?

Unreasonable, not reasonable at all!

Shouldn't he have come forward to accept interviews when the name of the Iron Mask first spread throughout England, become a frequent guest on TV and newspapers, go to nightclubs and bars, and have a drink with beautiful women?

But no matter what Endrit’s situation is, it’s true that they can’t interview anyone, so if someone can really interview Endrit, the bonus will definitely be a lot, but money is really hard to make, and the goalkeeper just doesn’t like being interviewed. They...huh? ! !

The moment Endrit appeared at the door, the entire hall lit up. It wasn't who turned on the lights, but the reporters quickly pressed the shutter at this moment. Before the host could speak, the person sitting below The media reporters started asking questions one by one, and the originally elegant and quiet press conference instantly became more lively than the vegetable market at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning.

Endrit sat next to Mourinho and looked at the reporters below, feeling quite happy.

Who hasn’t had a dream when they were young and frivolous? Once he couldn't do this, but now he has done it. This is a new, extraordinarily brilliant life that belongs entirely to him.

"Ritter, is it a lot of pressure for you to become a goalkeeper? Do you feel that you are already the number one goalkeeper in active service?"

Endrit touched his ears and thought that this reporter is quite familiar with him.

Mourinho glanced at Endrit with some concern, but saw Endrit pick up the phone with a relaxed expression and said hello.

After confirming that he could make a sound, Endritt began to answer the first reporter's question, "Actually, my dream is to become the world's number one forward, but I don't seem to have the talent in this area, but it doesn't matter. I heard that goalkeepers can also score goals. " Yes, I hope I can become the goalkeeper with the most goals in the future."

"My pressure mainly comes from this aspect," Endrit frowned with some distress, "My defender teammates are thinking about scoring goals, so I can only do that." I have to defend with all my strength for fear of missing the ball, and I don’t have any extra time and energy to think about how to score goals. If being the number one goalkeeper can allow my teammates to defend well, then I would still like to be the number one goalkeeper."

A reporter stood up to ask a question. I didn't expect to get such an answer at all. I wanted to ask again, but the second reporter who was called had already stood up and asked a question.

"Ritter, what you want to say is that you are very talented as a goalkeeper, right?"

"I'm not sure, but if I have to say it, maybe it's because I'm more like Iron Man." Endrit sighed softly. With a sound, the corner of his mouth raised, "I know many people have given me the nickname Iron Man, but this is not accurate, because I am just like Iron Man in Marvel superheroes, my whole body is made of iron."

"This may be related to my preference for eating celery and spinach since I was a child. These two vegetables are high in iron." Endrit paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and immediately sat upright, looking at the camera very seriously: "Iron element It is an essential trace element for the human body, so it is not good for the body to eat too much, but it is not good for the body if it is not eaten. "

Mourinho didn't understand, and always felt that Endritt. This kind of speaking tone is immediately followed by the sentence "Kids, do you remember?" But fortunately, Endrit stopped talking here and even put down the microphone and turned to look at him - is this? No more answering questions?

Mourinho coughed slightly, picked up the phone and acted as Endrit's mouth substitute. The reporters really wanted Endrit to answer on his own, but the latter just smiled at the camera and didn't respond.

At the end of the press conference, Mourinho sent Endritt to his door. He hesitated and stopped him, "You said at the press conference today that you wanted to be the goalkeeper with the most goals in the world. You meant it." "I'm talking nonsense ," Endrit

waved his hand, "They asked random questions, so I'm just talking nonsense."

What is it? The new nickname you gave yourself?"

Endrit replied with a smile: "I don't like the nickname Iron Man, Iron Man can accept it."

He took the initiative to participate in this new post-game press conference. That was the purpose. It was really hard to force the first question into the nickname. The second question finally achieved its purpose. Naturally, he would not continue to answer questions: he just ran away after the purpose was achieved. Who is willing to answer these reporters? A bunch of trap questions?

"I've never heard of it." Mourinho was a little surprised. "I thought you never read these things."

"Then you will hear about it later, coach~"

Mourinho thought Endritt said it. In the future, this name will become famous along with Endrit, but what Endrit actually wants to express is that when the Iron Man movie is released next year, the whole world will know the name "Iron Man".

This time, he hit a big one!

After taking a day off after the game, Endritt turned over and went back to sleep instead of getting up early when he heard the alarm clock ringing.

But unfortunately, this lazy sleep didn't last long before Mendes came to the door and brought news: the Champions League Organizing Committee issued a statement this morning.

"Has it anything to do with me?" Endrit raised his finger and pointed at himself, "What is it?"

"They denied the possibility of match-fixing and filed a lawsuit against some fans."

"Fake match?"

Mende followed. As Si eloquently explained, Endrit finally understood what had happened: the reason was because the British media published Endrit, who could become a goalkeeper at a glance, and the whole world publicized that they had a goalkeeper in the Premier League.

But the British media is full of misdeeds. Ten thousand fans of the club who once paid high transfer fees and suffered heavy losses because they believed in the "genius" they called it, still don't believe it even if the game video captures their faces.

The British media must be bragging again! Did he really save so many goals? This game looks so fake! At first glance, it looks like they are playing a fake game!

Radical fans reported to the organizing committee one after another and cursed the organizing committee for being stupid. The remaining foreign tennis fans were riding on the wall, believing one side for a while and another for another.

The outside world had previously thought that the organizing committee would remain the same as before, refusing to respond to such controversial topics in order to increase the discussion of this year's Champions League. However, they did not expect that this morning the organizing committee would directly deny the fake match.

"They also released a video collection of your matches from the Chelsea youth team to the current starting goalkeeper of the first team under the official account. Of course, there are also some videos provided by me." Mendes opened the laptop he brought over. "Do you want to take a look?"

Endrit asked, but immediately turned to the comments section.

"dvsndw": Damn, this is really true!

"scfwe": This is incredible! He seems to be improving all the time!

"vevw": I think the British media are right this time, because Mr. Endritt is indeed a goalkeeper.

“nvuwb”: Why is the Premier League so lucky? It was Beckham before, and now it’s Endrit, why? I am now a little worried about the World Cup in two years' time.

"buw": I just watched his interview! He said he was the Marvel superhero Iron Man! This is great! I love Iron Man too!

"hrf": Spider-Man is the best!

"mijo": Superman is the most powerful! Why didn't he say he was Superman?

Mendes poked his head over and asked after seeing this comment: "Yes, why don't you say Superman? Superman is the most famous. The Man of Steel is not very famous abroad. "Like this, it is said that they have already made a movie and are preparing to release it next year. You are very famous now and will be favored by the crew."

Endrit's eyes lit up, "If the crew of Iron Man contacts you, Please tell them that I really like Iron Man and ask them if they would like to invite me to attend the premiere."

Mendes was very puzzled. Isn't this just trying to share his popularity with others? But looking at Endrit's shining eyes, Mendes could only sigh softly, "Okay, I understand. If they contact me over there, I will mention this matter."
