Chapter 91
Endrit didn’t know that Robert Downey Jr. was sitting in the stands at the moment. Mourinho did see someone, but he didn’t know that this person was the Iron Man he hated so much before.
"Olympiacos' offensive routine was the same throughout the first half. If you could open your eyes and take a closer look, you should know that every time Olympiacos attacks, Galletti starts the ball from the right and passes, so Tell me, why is no one watching Galetti?
"Because you are busy attacking? But why are there no players to respond when Drogba brings the ball to the bottom line on the right?
" ? ! Tell me, what are you thinking? This is a Champions League game, not for you to have fun!"
"Why do you still make mistakes when passing the ball? Think about it for yourself! "
Mourinho only let Ballack play for the game against Tottenham next weekend as the commentator thought. Before today's game started, he didn't even take this game to heart. because he felt that with the current strength of their Chelsea players, it would be very easy to win against Olympiacos.
but! The Olympiacos team showed no dark horse talent at all, and Olympiacos players made frequent mistakes throughout the first half. Chelsea actually tied with Olympiacos!
"If you still want to hear the fans booing in the second half, then you can continue to play like this."
Coach Mourinho slammed the door and left the locker room.
There was silence in the locker room.
…
At the end of the halftime break, the two sides exchanged venues and the second half of the game officially began.
"Welcome back! What you are watching now is the 1/8 match of the European League. It is the second half of the first leg between the Greek team Olympiacos and Chelsea at home."
"Both teams did not play after a ten-minute break . I'm afraid there was something wrong with the personnel adjustment, because both players made more than one mistake in the first half. "
I guess they were too nervous."
"Oh, of course! Could it be that they made intentional mistakes?" Playing so poorly in the first half creates a game effect?" Commentator Nickel shrugged, "In that case it is not a football game, but a performance."
"If Real Madrid plays at the Olympic Stadium every time . Obtaining good results is a positive feedback, but Chelsea, who played at the Kaliskakis Stadium today, received a negative feedback. The mistakes made by the players were too low-level. It is hard for me to imagine that this could have been made by Chelsea. Game."
After the second half started, Chelsea players, who had been scolded by coach Mourinho in the locker room, and Olympiacos players fought fiercely in the midfield.
Chelsea player Cole got a corner kick opportunity. Under the close attention of Chelsea fans, Cole took the corner kick with his right foot. Olympiakos midfielder Djojevic pushed the football out of the penalty area, and the football missed the goal again. And passed.
Four minutes into the second half, Olympiacos took the ball from the left and Galetti headed the ball towards the goal, but he jumped too low and failed to hit the football.
In the 6th minute, Drogba created a free kick in the frontcourt, and Chelsea once again had a chance to score. Although the free kick was a bit far from the goal, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Endrit thought so and looked up at Malouda.
Malouda served the ball, he accelerated all the way to the trot and rushed towards the football, then raised his right foot and kicked the football hard.
Endrit stood in front of the goal and watched with wide eyes as the football kicked by Malouda made a curve in the air and finally hit the Olympiacos wall.
"This goal," Conil felt that Chelsea was simply making things difficult for him today, "This goal didn't come up at all. What did Malouda do? His legs are so weak?"
Forget it, it's not coming back. If he continues to help Chelsea forcefully smooth things over, the ratings will be lost.
Damn it! What's going on with you Chelsea today? ! Everyone looks quite vigorous, but why do they all fall apart as soon as they take a shot? How about you just sleepwalk on the court and give the camera to Endrit, so that the ratings of their live broadcast will not drop again and again.
In the 9th minute of the second half, Ballack dribbled the ball through the middle, but when he passed the football to Drogba, he was blocked by the opposite player.
Cole took a few steps forward and quickly grabbed the football from the opponent's feet. He took the ball for a few steps and then passed down the right wing.
A few seconds later, the football rolled off the baseline.
"Oh my God," the commentator Nickel stretched out his hand to cover his chest and said sadly: "Why haven't you come to Kaliskakis Stadium yet? Why haven't you come to Chelsea quickly?"
"Do you think you already have it? After Endrit, have Chelsea spent all their luck?"
In the 12th minute, Olympiakos forward Kovacevic took a long shot, and the ball went straight to the goal, but Endrit took it directly.
The football bounced on the lawn and was caught by Carvalho. Endrit's eyes fell on the football and quickly looked back.
The offense of Olympiacos on the opposite side did not pose any threat to the goal. Most of their offenses were blocked by their defenders as soon as they reached the backcourt. And Olympiacos' defense is not very strong, and Chelsea's players can easily break the football from their feet.
Logically speaking, with such a big difference in player configuration between the two sides, Chelsea should have scored more than one goal. But I don’t know what happened in this game. His teammates couldn’t predict the force and angle of the shot when they shot, and they couldn’t kick a ball in.
Is it possible that Chelsea got some kind of debuff in this game? Why are there so many mistakes...huh? Why does that fan in the stands look exactly like Iron Man when he was young? This fan is so lucky, he looks like Iron Man...
Endritt stared at the football in the frontcourt, but his mind kept replaying the figure he had just glanced at in the stands: He looks like It looks so much like Iron Man when he was young!
"The Olympiacos team launched an attack from the right again, but their passing efficiency is still not ideal."
"Did Kovacevic just want to hit the wall with his teammates?"
"It looks like this. , but Kovacevic did not have time to catch up with his teammates. This may be because he is no longer young. He is 35 years old and has been running on the court for a full hour. "
"Chelsea is miserable. Olympiacos has figured out how to deal with Chelsea! When Chelsea players enter the 30-meter area, Olympiacos players will directly attack them, which greatly reduces Chelsea's scoring efficiency!"
Nickel turned his head. Clyde looked at him in shock, "Does this reduce Chelsea's goal efficiency? If the goal efficiency is 0, can it drop further?"
In the 21st minute of the second half, Olympiacos midfielder Djokovic Jevic passed the football to Stoltidis in the middle, who passed the ball and shot directly.
Endrit chose to take the initiative, ran forward three steps, jumped and then hugged the football directly into his arms. Afterwards, Endritt looked up at the opposite stand: he wanted to double-check whether he had seen it correctly.
On the sidelines, Robert Downey Jr. suppressed his desire to yawn, adjusted his sitting posture, and then turned his attention to Endritt again.
The movie "Iron Man" that will be released in the United States in May this year is not only a work that Marvel has high hopes for, but also Robert Downey Jr.'s hope to return to the film industry.
For this reason, Robert Downey Jr. has persisted in sitting until now even though this game makes him feel very bored.
To him, the outcome of this game is not important. All he needed to do was have a conversation with Endritt after the game. The latter's agent has agreed that Endritt will participate in the filming of Easter eggs in the movie, and he came here in person just to shoot this Easter egg, so that the movie can get more box office returns in England after it is released.
And Endrit...huh? Is Endrit looking at him?
The two people's eyes met from a distance, and Robert Downey Jr. immediately sat up straight and smiled at Endrit.
Endrit was stunned: This smile! This smile! He won't remember it wrong! This is Iron Man himself!
"Dudududu..."
Plauts trotted all the way to the Chelsea goal and blew the whistle to signal Endritt to serve quickly. If he delayed any longer, he would get a yellow card.
Endrit came to his senses, lowered his head and placed the football on the lawn, raised his right hand and placed it on his violently beating heart, then raised his leg and kicked the football hard.
The moment the football was kicked out, Endritt raised his hand and hit his head hard to regain his consciousness and focus on the game again.
He used a lot of force in the kick just now, but when he kicked the ball, he forgot to look at the position of the players in the frontcourt, and just rounded his legs and took the kick in a hurry.
But the problem is not big, even if the opponent player receives the ball, he will not let the opponent score... Huh? Did Drogba catch the ball? !
Great, after the game, he directly quibbled with coach Mourinho, saying that he actually judged the angle when playing football. Can the coach believe it?
Before Endritt even started brainstorming, the Olympiacos players in the Chelsea backcourt were already confused.
When Endrit held the ball in his arms, the Olympiakos players turned around and ran toward their own half, looking back to see where Endrit had passed the ball and wondering if they had a chance to pass it in the Chelsea half. The football was intercepted again.
But what they didn't expect was that England goalkeeper Endrit stood there holding the football without moving! Could it be that even England's goalkeeper couldn't escape the "mistakes" debuff in this game?
Endrit was slow to kick the ball off, and the Olympiacos players who were running toward their own half slowed down to see what Endrit was doing. And under their gaze, Endrit bent down and placed the football on the lawn. He stood up and kicked the football out? !
Why doesn't he even look at where his teammates are now? !
The Olympiacos players lowered their heads and cursed angrily, turned around and ran hard towards their own half. Before they came into contact with the football, Drogba, who had been going deep alone, successfully caught the football after a period of crazy running.
Olympiacos defenders Anchas and Pantos chased behind Drogba. But before they could catch up with Drogba, Drogba had already stopped and fired a blast at the goal.
Olympiakos goalkeeper Nikopolidis took the initiative. The football flew to the goal and fell rapidly. It flew past Nikopolidis' front and rushed into the goal while sticking to the turf.
Did this goal go in?
When referee Plauts stood on the sidelines and blew the whistle that the goal was valid, Drogba came to his senses. He turned his head and stared directly at the football in the goal, with a smile finally appearing on his face.
"The ball has gone in!"
The moment the football hit the goal, Nickel stood up excitedly, "The ball has gone in! Chelsea finally broke the deadlock! Ritter assisted Drogba and successfully scored!"
The TV began to play back the scene just now. Goal - although even without replays, those watching the game will know how the goal was scored.
The fans in front of the TV and at the scene did not miss the shot of the football flying into the goal, because when Endrit stood in front of the goal and made no move, people turned their attention to him. There was only one thought in their mind: fatal. , you Chelsea players, even if you make mistakes on the field, you have to pursue it neatly and not miss a single one? !
"Obviously, Endrit's failure to serve the ball immediately affected the judgment of the Olympiacos players. They, especially the backcourt players of Olympiacos, found out that Endrit did not serve the ball immediately, so they did not Eager to return to defense immediately."
"Through the slow-motion replay, we can see that Drogba did not notice that Endritt did not serve in time. He rushed towards the Olympiacos half as before."
" It was such a time difference that the defense of the Olympiacos players was useless. Drogba faced the goalkeeper and kicked the football into the Olympiacos goal. "
Clyde," Nickel turned to look at his partner, "You just said. Olympiacos has figured out how to deal with Chelsea, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Clay nodded, "When Chelsea players enter the 30-meter area of Olympiacos, Olympiacos players will directly attack them. "In the first half of the game, several of Chelsea's most threatening shots were destroyed by the close attack of Olympiacos players."
"Although this tactic is a bit biased," Conil marveled, "but the effect was immediate, and that was me. I’m a little confused, how did Coach Mourinho come up with this tactic?”
During the halftime break, the camera swept across the stands, and the commentator found Robert Downey Jr. sitting there.
When the game restarted, Sky Sports' live footage no longer showed Robert Downey Jr., after all, the latter is an American, and in the eyes of the people of England, this is still an America that is enjoying their popularity with goalkeeper Ritter. people.
Therefore, they did not find that Endritt was stunned because of the appearance of Robert Downey Jr., and Robert Downey Jr. himself did not feel that Endritt was temporarily stunned because of his smile. He and All the fans present thought it was a tactic.
He and the Chelsea fans next to him applauded the goal, and the Chelsea players on the field rushed up to hug Endrit and asked loudly in Endrit's ear: "When did you discuss the tactics with the coach? "
Damn it! You even lied to us!"
Endrit lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Coach Mourinho, who had been staring at him since the beginning. Got him.
Damn it, it seems that he can't save his ears today.
"Dudududu..."
The game restarted. The Olympiacos players, who were one point behind, desperately wanted to tie the score, but their forwards' physical strength was even worse than before. After running with the ball for a few steps, the ball was intercepted and the ball was intercepted. Quan came to Chelsea again.
In the 25th minute, Makelele passed the ball from the center and the football was passed to Malouda on the left side of the penalty area. Malouda hit the goal with his left foot at the top of the penalty area, but the angle was slightly higher and the football flew over the crossbar.
In the 36th minute, Olympiacos launched another attack. The newly replaced Olympiacos player tried to pass the ball, but after the football flew through the middle, it continued to fly diagonally forward: the ball was kicked wide.
"Olympiacos did not pose any threat, and their speed could not rise. Chelsea, who had scored a goal, were no longer anxious to attack, and the rhythm of the game suddenly slowed down." In
the 42nd minute, Olympiacos tried to attack again, They are really anxious. But in a hurry, their main forward Kovacevic could not catch up with the speed, and the football was stopped before it even reached the Chelsea backcourt.
"In the ongoing match between Liverpool and Inter Milan next door, good news came from Liverpool again. Gerrard scored twice to lead the team 2:0 ahead of Inter Milan."
"And Lampard didn't do anything in today's game. On the field, it seems that coach Mourinho has made a choice between Lampard and Ballack."
Three minutes later, referee Plautz blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Chelsea came away from the Kaliskakis Stadium with a very difficult victory.
The Chelsea fans who traveled with the team shouted wildly at this moment to vent their emotions.
Mourinho took a step forward with a sullen face, raised his hand and was about to call Endrit over, when he saw Endrit running from the goal to the opposite stand and waving vigorously.
A question mark slowly appeared on Mourinho's forehead, and Robert Downey Jr., who was greeted by him, stood up in surprise. He responded to Endrit, who reached out and pulled off his jersey and pointed at Robert Downey Jr. Shouted: "Want to change clothes?"
Robert Downey Jr. looked down at his suit, then looked up at Endrit, "Okay!"
Endrit was the last to return to the locker room, and his jersey had already been given to him. He was wearing Robert Downey Jr.'s suit, and he went into battle in a vacuum. The suit was a bit short, which made his abdominal muscles feel a little cold, and it looked a bit unsightly from the back.
But Endritt was very happy and walked into the dressing room humming a song. But great joy brings sorrow. The next moment, his ear was grabbed by coach Mourinho.
"Godfather!" Endrit quickly knelt down and apologized. "I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time!"
"Godfather, I can explain it! Really!"
Mourinho let go of his hand and said coldly. : "Say."
"Everyone made a mistake," Endritt said while stepping back. "If I didn't make a mistake, wouldn't I be incompatible with them? We are all on the same team, even if we make mistakes, we must be neat. This shows that we at Chelsea are united. And I also assisted Drogba to score a goal, Drogba, don't you think so?"
Drogba looked up blankly, and Mourinho shouted with a dark face. Endrit! "
...
In yesterday's game, Liverpool 2:0 Inter Milan, Arsenal 0:0 AC Milan, Lyon 1:1 Manchester United, and Chelsea 1:0 Olympiakos.
Whether it is from the perspective of team reputation, game content or team record, there should be more news headlines about Liverpool 2:0 Inter Milan, but in fact, the news headlines on February 21st Totally Chelsea.
Whether it was the many mistakes Chelsea made in the game or the tactic they thought was a mistake but ended up successfully scoring a goal, they all made headlines: Seeing these mistakes, do you dare to believe that Chelsea actually won the game?
After the game, Endritt exchanged clothes with Robert Downey Jr., which also attracted the attention of the United Kingdom and the United States. The attention of the English media was entirely on Endritt's upper body exposed due to the change of clothes, while the headlines of the United States were It was "a successful meeting between two Iron Man".
In Germany, the news headlines on the 21st were very correct, because the local media put forward a reasonable guess: Is there a possibility that it was not a tactic, but that Endritt really made a mistake?
[The Curse of Kaliskakis Stadium: Chelsea players made low-level mistakes one after another! 】
Before the news and opinions of the German media spread, Schalke 04 head coach Slomka stepped forward and took the initiative to accept an interview with reporters this afternoon.
"If this happened to another team, then I would definitely agree with the media's view that Endritt really made a mistake. But this happened to Chelsea, to Chelsea coached by Mourinho. Endritt made absolutely no mistakes. This was all Mourinho's conspiracy! "
Do you think Chelsea players are really stupid enough to make such low-level mistakes frequently in the Champions League? No!" It was Mourinho who made his players deliberately make mistakes. The purpose was to paralyze the Olympiacos team and make them, everyone and all the teams misunderstand that Chelsea's recent game state is not good, so that we underestimate the enemy. Let us lose the game."
Slomka laughed very contemptuously, "But I have to say, maybe it was the conspiracy he used when playing with us Schalke 04 before that Chelsea won easily, so Mourinho. Oh, he's so ambitious. He not only wants to win Olympiacos once, he also wants to win more teams using this method!"
"He can obviously make Chelsea players score goals easily. But he deliberately allowed Endrit
to make a mistake and assist his teammate to score. Yes, that was intentional. If this was not done in advance, how could Drogba rush to Olympiacos' penalty area so coincidentally? Roba: Can't it be my sense of smell in front of the goal?
On the 22nd
, Mourinho noticed his wife Matilde looking at him strangely when he woke up in the morning.
"What's wrong?" Mourinho ran to the mirror and took a look at himself. He didn't find anything wrong. "Is there something on my back?"
Matilde shook his head and leaned towards Mourinho. Neo came up and asked, "Um, was that goal that Ritter assisted Drogba the day before yesterday a mistake?"
"Yes," Mourinho nodded. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his back hard. Moo Ya said , "This kid has been thinking about Iron Man all the time. When he saw that man on the court the day before yesterday, he was stunned. Today, he has to go to shoot that movie Easter egg with the Iron Man crew."
"You said it's the day after tomorrow . Even during the EFL Cup final against Tottenham, he was still thinking about other things. Is this appropriate? I think he is in his rebellious phase. He used to be very well-behaved, but now..."
Matilde said in the morning He silently took down the delivered newspaper, reached out and patted Mourinho on the shoulder and said softly: "But Ritter looks like a child now. I think it's good. Football is very important to you and Ritter." "It's important, it's all the things you put first in your life, but you can't just have football in your life."
"Isn't it good to have some preferences of your own without affecting your competitive status?"
Mourinho sighed, waved his hands and said nothing more.
"Where are today's newspapers?" Mourinho searched around the dining table. "Hasn't it been delivered yet?"
"It has been delivered." Matilde sighed softly and took it out from under the table. Newspaper, "There are some messy things written in it. I don't think it has much reading value."
"Really?" Mourinho reached for the newspaper and said, "Let me take a look."
[Slomka: I have seen through it. Mourinho's conspiracy! 】
Mourinho frowned, thinking what is this old man doing? Have you seen through his conspiracy? What conspiracy could he have? It was the same in the last game. He was said to be insidious for no reason...
Mourinho read the news report quickly and was stunned for a few seconds. He lowered his head and read it again.
"No, what is this written about?"
"Is Slomkata sick?"
On February 23,
the Iron Man movie officially released a trailer of only ten seconds.
At the beginning of the scene, Howard Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., appeared at a dinner party chatting with a beautiful woman. In the next moment, Stark stood in the desert with a Jericho missile exploding behind him.
The scene transitioned, and Stark appeared in the cave. A group of people rushed in with guns in hand. The scene darkened, and a burst of fierce gunfire rang out. In the black screen, Stark was wearing a suit and the entire screen lit up again.
The screen flashed again, and Stark appeared at the press conference wearing a black suit.
"I am——iron man."
"Huh? Who called me?"
Endrit appeared on the screen, holding the football and raising his head in confusion.
