Coach Mourinho walked into the locker room with his hands in his pockets and walked around before leaving. Not only did he not say a word about his thoughts about the game, he also walked up to Endrit and asked him why he didn’t have a tattoo today. .

Endrit subconsciously touched his collarbone, which had not been taped since yesterday. "It's useless to stick it on. I'd better just shout."

Mourinho nodded noncommittally, put his pocket in his pocket and left the dressing room. room.

"So what did the coach just come for?"

Everyone looked at each other and then skipped the topic in a tacit understanding. "Stretch a little more. The game will start soon."

Sheva silently walked to Endrit . , lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Does the coach think that I am more suitable for the Champions League? I am playing the starting position again today? The coach just looked at me specifically, do you know what that means?"

Endritt was a little suspicious of Murry. Coach Neo did it on purpose, just to let the president’s favorite players play to share the pressure in the Champions League when they might have to say goodbye to Chelsea if they lose, so that if they lose, it would be easier to blame... Ahem, but this It was just a guess of his own. Endrit definitely couldn't tell Sheva that.

"I should be motivating you. I hope you can score goals and get good results today."

Sheva was doubtful, "Really?"

"Of course," Endritt nodded and stretched out his hand towards Sheva, "Let's work hard together. "

After playing a very comfortable 451 formation in the Premier League for a few days, Mourinho immediately formed a more offensive tactical formation 433 when he came to the Champions League, with the three forwards Malouda, Drogba and Sheva representing. An extremely sharp arrow is pointing at the opposite goal of Schalke 04.

The luxurious midfield lineup composed of midfielders Lampard, Makelele and Essien made the Chelsea fans at the game extremely relieved. The starting lineup of defenders Bridge, Alex, Carvalho and Ferreira made Endritt feel a little flustered.

It is not that Mourinho deliberately did not let Ashley and John play in this game, but that these two people were injured one after another and would not be reimbursed for the season, but they would indeed be unable to play in the next few games. Endritt couldn't doubt that they were intentional, because according to the team doctor, it was surprising that these two were injured and unable to play for so long this season.

John Terry strongly agrees with the team doctor, because he is a player who is often injured, not because of poor physical fitness, but because he is the core of the team's defenders. In the past, when defending, the opposing players targeted him accurately, and no matter how physically fit he was, Good things are not immune to injury.

But things are different now. The forwards on the opposite side are all heading towards Endrit. John Terry is more than a little relaxed on the court. Although it always feels like Endrit is always cold towards him, John Terry is not at all. care. You’re even a little happy - you have a goalkeeper on the court to help you share the pressure, and you don’t have to worry about maintaining relationships and making friends off the court. There is simply nothing better than this in the world, right?

"But why is he in such a good mood recently?"

John, who was wearing a jersey to watch the game in the stands, bumped Ashley with his elbow. "Is it because he is more famous than before?"

"How do I know what he is thinking? ," Ashley looked up at his teammates on the court, "Why do you care about this?"

John wanted to say that he felt Endritt didn't like him a little, but it would be too pretentious and a bit idiotic to say it: We are here to play football, not to go on a blind date. Does it matter whether you like this kind of thing? Just score a goal.

"I want to be this happy too." John raised a smile, "Let's go to the pub together tonight?"

...

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, welcome to watch the third round of Group B of the 2007-08 Champions League group stage, the Premier League football Chelsea played against Bundesliga team Schalke 04 at home. "

Schalke 04's head coach Slomka arranged a 4213 formation for this game. The single attacking midfielder Gross Murray was relatively free in this game. The head coach gave It gives him a lot of room to play. Gross Murray can support his three forward teammates Asamoah, Larsson and Lowencrantz at any time. Whether to attack or defend depends entirely on his opponent Chelsea

. The double midfielders Ernst and Jones and the four defenders Rafinha, Westerman, Boden and Rodriguez formed the defensive lineup for this game. "

Chelsea's defense is completely behind in terms of numbers . For Schalke 04, because the latter has six defensive players, a single attacking midfielder can swing the position at any time. However, Chelsea's two main defenders cannot play due to injuries, both in terms of the number of defensive players and the fact that they can play at any time. In terms of quality, Schalke 04 is the better side."

"So Ellen, my good partner, you mean that you are very optimistic about Schalke 04's performance against Chelsea who have poor defense. " How many more goals did the fans score?"

"Oh no no no!" Allen quickly shook his head in denial, "I have to admit that Schalke 04 was really good in defense, but Chelsea's goalkeeper is Endrit!"

Although most people are not very convinced about Endrit's "future goalkeeper" title, they will naturally always believe in Endrit as the future goalkeeper until Endrit has broken the "zero seal record".

"The game is about to start, Schalke 04 serves."

"Chelsea's formation can also be said to be 4321, Drogba is a single arrow, while Malouda and Sheva are cruising on both sides."

After the opening, the football was in Schalke Erke 04 made a circle in the backcourt and was passed long by Ernst in the midfield to teammate Asamoah, who rushed straight to the right side of the penalty area from a small angle.

Endritt immediately moved to the right side of the goal, staring at the football and preparing to save, but saw that the football missed the ball like a kite with a broken string during flight.

Endrit retracted his outstretched hand and stood silently.

The ball came to Chelsea's feet, and the football was quickly given to Lampard. The latter ran with the ball for a while and then passed it to Drogba. Drogba received the ball in the frontcourt and directly headed the ball.

Schalke 04 goalkeeper Neuer stared at the flying football and swung it left and right to determine the specific position. Malouda broke into the left side of the penalty area and dunked directly over the opposite side of Rafinha, raising his foot to catch the ball and shoot low.

The football flew low against the turf and rolled between Neuer's legs into the goal.

"1:0! Chelsea 1:0 in the first four minutes!"

Chelsea fans in the stands cheered loudly in celebration. The faces of the Schalke 04 players on the field turned darker and darker, and Neuer even kicked the lawn hard: Why didn't he see Malouda just now? Why spread your legs? ! It's over now. That goal he just scored will definitely become the background and be laughed at by the fans for many days!

Referee Frogger Fiedt gave Chelsea enough time to celebrate. This time also gave Schalke 04 players enough time to wake up. After the game restarted, Ernst got the ball and scored directly. A long-distance free kick into the penalty area.

Ernst prayed silently in his heart, but God did not hear his voice at all. The football went straight into Endritt's arms, as if Ernst was going to give the ball to Chelsea.

The football was thrown to the defender by Endritt. After several passes, the football reached the feet of Drogba. The latter tried to cross the ball at the edge of the penalty area, but the ball was intercepted by the opponent's defender.

So in an instant, the Schalke 04 player who was still in the half just now appeared in Endritt's field of vision. Endritt looked at Ernst running toward him with the ball and cleared his throat.

As one of the two defensive midfielders, Ernst launched a lot of attacks in this game. This seemed to give the goalkeeper some illusions, that is, Ernst would have shot the ball himself, but Endritt did not. There was no such illusion: because the guy did not stare at him, but turned his head and glanced at Grossmuller who was diagonally in front of him before "shooting".

Endritt took a step forward, and Ernst raised his foot to shoot. After kicking the ball in the air, he immediately retracted his leg and used his heel to pass the football diagonally in front of him.

"Alex! Carvalho! Keep an eye on Muller!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the football flew towards Muller's position. Muller took a step back to catch the football, but he was directly double-teamed by two defenders. Being able to watch the football being picked up not far behind him by Lampard.

Ernst took a deep breath, turned around and ran back with his head down.

In the 17th minute, Schalke 04 Rodriguez made a pass from the left. The football flew from the air. Asaamo jumped up and headed towards the goal with a header.

Endrit took a step to the left and was about to jump. He stared at the football carefully for a second and then stopped. He put one hand on his hips and tilted his head to look at the football. The next second, the football flew directly from the top of the ball frame.

Suddenly there were loud shouts from the stands. Mourinho stood on the sidelines and covered his face with a headache: This kid is a little too cheerful now.

In the stands, John Terry looked at Ashley in shock, "You can pretend like this?"

"Is this possible?" Ashley exclaimed, "How come he hasn't done this in training matches before!"

The game continued. The poor situation of not scoring a goal made the Schalke 04 players a little irritable. In the 34th minute of the first half, Schalke 04 midfielder Jones flew to tackle Chelsea from the wing. Defender Bridge fell to the ground with a plop. The referee came over with a whistle and gave Jones a yellow card.

This yellow card allowed the Schalke 04 players to calm down and did not do anything drastic in the remaining 11 minutes of the first half.

"Dududu..."

The first half of the game was over, and the players went back to the locker room to rest.

At this moment, in Los Angeles, more than 3,000 miles away from Chelsea, during the halftime break between the two teams, the staff in charge of publicity and distribution excitedly called the producer Jeremy.

"Sir, I finally found a point that can connect our Iron Man and the British Iron Man through football. In the game just now, Endrit stopped and looked at the football flying from the top of the goal frame very calmly. "But," the staff member was very excited. He seemed to have seen the produced promotional video for the popularity (deleted). "If you edit this video together with the video of Iron Man with his back to the Jellicle missile exploding, fans will definitely I'll love it very much!"

Jeremy agreed readily. After hanging up the phone, he began to hesitate about contacting Endrit's agent: What if he really agreed to cooperate with their publicity? After all, it was Endrit who said he liked Iron Man. Hmm, how about asking Robert Downey Jr. to mention it in an interview first and see how they react?
