Chapter 105

Endrit was stunned for a second before he immediately replied, "Next time, for sure. No, in my next life for sure."

"Next life?"

The topic spanned too much, and Gerrard was a little confused about Endrit's train of thought for a moment, "You will have to wait until next life to come to play in Liverpool?"

Endrit nodded seriously and said seriously: "If I can have another life, I can promise you to play football in Liverpool."

Gerard felt that Endrit was just trying to fool him, but Endrit's expression was so sincere when he spoke that he felt from the bottom of his heart that Endrit was telling the truth.

"How can this be true?!" Kuyt was so angry that he was spinning around on the spot. He stretched out his hand and poked Gerrard's forehead with a look of disappointment. "He is obviously lying to you! What's the next life? Do people have a next life?!"

"Endrit was rejecting you politely," Alonso stepped forward, patted Gerrard and Kuyt on the shoulders to comfort them, and then turned to look at Gerrard. "You should be thankful that there were no other Chelsea players around when you were talking, otherwise you might get beaten."

"This is Anfield Stadium," Reina came over unwillingly, "This is our home ground, and they still want to attack us in our home ground?"

Alonso groaned and turned his head to glance at Reina. "This has nothing to do with home and away games. If our goalkeeper is Endrit, then if anyone wants to abduct him, I will definitely beat him up without saying a word."

"Oh, right," Kuyt thought of something and quickly turned to look at Gerrard. "Aren't there always a few players around Endrit? When did you talk to Endrit alone?"

Kuyt swallowed the words "Were you really not beaten?" and looked at Gerrard with blinked eyes.

"He came back to see me on purpose and gave me candy." Gerrard tried to hold down the corners of his mouth. "I don't think he lied to me. If there is an afterlife, he will definitely come to play in Liverpool. We just don't have the fate to play in the same club in this life."

Several people near Gerard fell silent, then turned around to pack up their things, not wanting to talk to Gerard anymore: What did this kid just say? Is his brain broken?

After changing his jersey and packing up, Kuyt couldn't help but walk up to Crouch, bumped into the latter's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Is Endrit so evil? Gerrard has known him for a short time, right? Why do you trust him so much now?"

"What's so strange about this?" Crouch curled his lips, a little indignant at Kuyt's statement, "Ritter has a good personality and is a sincere person..."

Kuyt moved further away from Crouch with an expressionless face: My goodness, have these two England national team players been poisoned by a poison called Endrit?

The next morning, in an exclusive interview with the Dutch media, Kuyt couldn't help but complain to his own media about Gerrard and Endrit's agreement in the next life.

"I am really curious about their training content in the national team. Tell me, what kind of training content would make my teammates Gerrard and Crouch completely unable to control their affection for Endrit," Kuyt shook his head like a rattle, "I am really curious!"

The Dutch media quickly published the remarks of their footballer of the year in newspapers. After discovering this, the English media acted swiftly, welcoming Kuyt to become an English citizen, join their England national team, and experience the training atmosphere at St. George's Park training base.

The Dutch media were so angry after seeing the actions of the English media that they denounced the unscrupulous practices of the English media in their newspapers and shouted: "Kuyt will always belong to the Netherlands!"

English media: You Dutch people are too petty. Please respect the player's choice. He plays for Liverpool. If you round it up, doesn't that mean he is also interested in joining our England national team?

It would be fine if they just said he was narrow-minded, but the English media even went to interview Capello and asked him if he would welcome Kuyt to join the national team?

What else can Capello say when faced with this kind of question from the media? Of course I support Kuyt joining the national team with both hands and feet. It doesn't cost anything to say it anyway. It is not clear whether the other party will be happy if he welcomes them, but if he does not welcome them, the other party will definitely be unhappy.

While the English and Dutch media were spitting at each other, Endrit was holding up his phone and feeling the spit coming from the other end of the phone (bushi)

"Ferdinand is fine, but why do you and Rooney have such a good relationship? He often mentions you in the locker room, saying how you are doing in the national team. I am almost mad at him!"

Endritt was somewhat helpless. "He is a teammate of the national team after all. We must practice cooperation. But I didn't practice with him for a long time. I mainly practiced with Gerrard and Crouch."

"Gerrard?" Ronaldo's face turned even darker on the other end of the phone. "Is that the Gerrard who promised to play football with you in the next life?"

Endrit scratched his head. He remembered that Gerrard had been in Liverpool for 17 years, but Ronaldinho was not. He was even about to leave Manchester United.

"Next life is too vague. The main thing is that he will not leave Liverpool and I will not leave Chelsea," Endrit paused, "So, in the later stage of your career, you can consider playing for Chelsea."

"I'm not thinking about that now," Ronaldinho didn't want to talk about it, "I just want to know, what's your relationship with Rooney like?"

"Nothing was said in private," Endritt made an appropriate assumption. "I feel like he was deliberately trying to piss you off."

"He said he had your phone number..."

"Tsk," Endrit shook his head, "It's hard to judge. He must be trying to piss you off on purpose."

The two chatted for a while, and after the phone call was hung up, Endrit got up, disguised himself, went out and took a taxi to the hospital to see Lampard.

Lampard wasn't sick, his mother was. After eliminating Fenerbahce, Lampard kept going to the hospital when he was not training. His condition had improved and Lampard was very happy. Although his condition in the game was not as good as before, everyone believed that Lampard's condition would soon improve.

However, after the game with Liverpool, bad news suddenly came from the hospital. Lampard drove directly from Anfield Stadium to the hospital secretly after the game and has not left until now.

Lampard didn't want to be disturbed by the media, so Endrit didn't drive his car that was already very familiar to the media.

"You're here again?"

Endrit handed the fruit in his hand to Lampard and said, "I'm just sitting here doing nothing. How are you today? What did the doctor say?"

Lampard shook his head, lowered his head and fell silent.

Endrit sat next to Lampard and patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay. It'll be okay."

In the face of illness, too many words seem pale. If everything is fine, then everything is good.

But now, watching Lampard and his son crying bitterly, Endrit squatted beside them and wiped his tears silently, unable to say a word of comfort.

He...didn't know what to say.

Parting is just for a better meeting? No, most of the time, after we say goodbye to each other, we never see each other again.

…

April 26

In the 36th round of the Premier League, which is also the third to last round, Chelsea faced Manchester United at home. The Stamford Bridge was crowded with Chelsea fans, who were looking forward to today's game with great excitement: If Chelsea beat Manchester United and got three points, then Chelsea would lock in the 07-08 Premier League championship in advance!

"A year ago, in the penultimate round of the Premier League, Chelsea played against Manchester United at home, but at that time, Manchester United had already won the championship in advance, so Chelsea players could only stand at Stamford Bridge to welcome the arrival of the championship."

"But now! If Chelsea beat Manchester United in today's game, it will be Manchester United's turn to stand and watch Chelsea be crowned the champions!"

"No, not just the Premier League title, if Chelsea win tonight, then Chelsea will be the double champion!"

The scene was very lively. When they started warming up, the Chelsea players on the field could win cheers from Chelsea fans with just the slightest movement.

The Chelsea fans, who were beaming with joy and thinking about the double championship, did not notice that there were not many smiles on the faces of the Chelsea players on the field today.

When the camera was turned to Chelsea players, the commentator noticed the difference. "Every Chelsea player is very serious today. They don't want to disappoint the Chelsea fans at the scene."

"The second leg of the Champions League semi-final is coming up. Manchester United and Chelsea have both reserved this match for the Champions League. Coach Ferguson directly gave Cristiano Ronaldo a rest, and Evra and Scholes were not even included in the match list."

"It's clear that Manchester United are determined to beat Barcelona."

"Coach Ferguson lined up a 451 formation for this game, with goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Silvestre, midfielders Giggs, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson and Nani, and striker Rooney."

"Manchester United's bench includes Kuzak, Hargreaves, Ronaldo, O'Shea and Tevez."

"Mourinho also specially adjusted the starting lineup for the Champions League. Lampard, like Evra and Scholes, was not included in the squad."

"Chelsea still has a 433 formation, with Endrit as goalkeeper, Ferreira, Carvalho, John Terry and Ashley as defenders, Ballack, Essien and Mikel as midfielders, and Cole, Drogba and Kalou as the three forwards."

"Chelsea's substitutes are Cudicini, Makelele, Belletti, Bridge and Anelka."

"The referee for this match is Willy."

As the referee Willy blew the whistle to start the game, Endrit's eyes fell on Rooney, and he felt a little amused.

When he met Ronaldinho just now, this guy not only did not tell him that he was a substitute in this game, but also provoked him right from the start, saying that if he, as the goalkeeper, could not stop the striker's shot in this game, then he, Ronaldinho, would not admit that Endrit was the goalkeeper standing in front of Chelsea's goal.

Endrit, who almost lost his name: ...

What's going on? What stimulated this?
