Chapter 67

Endrit was a little sad, but he looked around and found that the people around him were actually quite happy.

Sheva came over and hugged Endrit, patted his shoulder and said proudly, "It seems that my comfort zone is not the Champions League, but the league."

After speaking, Sheva paused, held Endrit's hand and said sincerely: "If you want to pass the ball like this in the next game, remember to pass it to me. You know, we have practiced cooperation for the longest time!"

Endrit nodded silently, watched Sheva turn around and talk to other teammates, then turned to look at the coach beside him.

Mr. Mourinho, you must be different from them, right?

Mourinho noticed Endrit's gaze and frowned in confusion, "Why haven't you changed your jersey yet? Aren't you going to the post-match press conference after this game?"

Endritt made a joke, feeling that he had fully anticipated what the reporter would ask him.

Endrit shook his head and waved his hands. "No, I don't want to go today. Coach, please take Drogba and the others with you. Those reporters will definitely want to interview them about how they felt about scoring a goal."

Mourinho smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, if that's what you want."

Mourinho didn't say anything else. He patted Endrit on the shoulder and let him go. Endrit stayed in the locker room, changed his jersey and folded it aside. After putting on his own clothes, he sat in the locker room with his chin in his hand, thinking: Why is this happening? This shouldn't be the case...

The coach didn't even blame him for being too impulsive. His excuse that he was sure the opponent wouldn't steal the ball before he took the initiative to attack was useless...

"We were already five goals ahead at that time. What would it matter if you lost that goal?" Mourinho poked Endrit's forehead with his index finger in annoyance. "Anyway, we wouldn't lose."

"But if I concede that goal, wouldn't my clean sheet record be broken?"

"So what?" Mourinho said with a sigh. "Can you be blamed for this? If those reporters hadn't been shouting that you were the goalkeeper all day long, would you have been under so much pressure? It's good enough that I didn't ask them for compensation for mental damages."

Mourinho took a deep breath, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves in no time, as if he was going to have a fight the next second. "No, I have to argue with them when I do an interview recently. How old are you? You're not even the legal drinking age in England, but they put so much pressure on you..."

Endrit's eyes gradually widened and his mouth opened in shock. He looked at the person in front of him who was cursing, and he actually scolded the reporter who wanted to interview him the next day - the door to a new world opened for him.

Is this possible?

Can a person really live so freely?

Isn’t this the wonderful life that I have always dreamed of in my past life and this life?

Endrit: Coach! I want to learn this!

After a thrilling game that made Manchester City fans wake up in the middle of the night and curse "Why?", a video of Endrit walking out at halftime and assisting Sheva to score was circulated wildly on major media and television websites in various countries. Coupled with the title of "goalkeeper" that had been circulated before, the name Endrit finally broke the circle and became known by more and more people who usually do not pay attention to the sport of football.

When it comes to football and goalkeepers, people’s first reaction is the blond handsome guy Endrit who rushed into the penalty area with the football and cooperated with his teammates to score a goal.

As a result, before this trend could make the sports media in other countries red-eyed, the British media suddenly spoke out collectively: Please stop reporting on our future goalkeeper Endrit! Do you know how much pressure your media's extensive coverage of our family has put on him? No! You don’t know! You don't care! You only care about newspaper sales!

"Give Endrit some time to breathe freely. He still needs time to grow!"

Other media:? ? ? ?

Weren't you the ones who started bragging about this first? Do you have any shame?

The British media covered their ears to indicate that they did not understand. After scolding the foreign media, they turned around and appeared at Stanford Stadium with their guns and cannons, and began to look forward to the round of 16 of the English League Cup today, November 1st.

The English League Cup, a cup competition, is one of the so-called treble championships, and its value is only second to the Champions League and Premier League titles.

The teams participating in the first round of the cup are all the teams from the Championship, League One and League Two. After these teams decide the winner, the winner will face the Premier League teams in the second round.

Of course, Premier League teams that have to play European competitions on match days due to competition conflicts can join in the third round.

Today's round of 16 match is Chelsea's home game against the winner of the first round, Championship team Leicester City.

The winner of this game was naturally beyond doubt. Even Leicester City's most loyal fans had no expectations of defeating Chelsea, which was now in its heyday, and even began to make remarks like: As long as we don't lose 6:0 in this game, we will play better than Manchester City, and our team will definitely be promoted after the end of this season!

Manchester City fans:?

You'd better sleep with one eye open tonight!

The reason why a game with no suspense about the outcome attracted so many media reporters was not only because of Endrit's own popularity, but also because of the national team coach McLaren who finally appeared on the Stamford Bridge.

When Endrit was still called the Man in the Iron Mask, some fans called on the national team's McLaren to quickly bring Endrit to the national team to add depth to the bench.

When Endrit's name became more and more famous and everyone talked about him as a goalkeeper, the media began to question why the national team coach McLaren did not bring Endrit to the national team as the starting goalkeeper.

But no matter how the media nags, McLaren just ignores them and never talks about Endrit when facing interviews from reporters.

McLaren was a proud and stubborn person, and there was a reason why he had ignored this side before: he won two games in a row in the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, which dealt a heavy blow to those media who were not optimistic about him, so he naturally stood up straight.

But the situation soon changed. First, they drew 0:0 with Macedonia on October 7 last month, and then lost 0:2 to Croatia five days later. The media and fans' saliva almost drowned McLaren, and his position as the national team coach was in jeopardy.

McLaren finally panicked. He waited for Endrit or the media to pass him the ladder again, but no one mentioned it anymore - they were all busy discussing Endrit's amazing performance in the Champions League and the little golden lion.

The media had so much news that they couldn't write it all, so they had no mood to deal with McLaren, who always had a sour face and asked them to make up news to find highlights after every interview.

But McLaren is the kind of person who can't come down without a ladder. On October 13, England's 3:0 victory over Estonia finally gave him some confidence. Four days later, the 2:1 away loss to Russia immediately destroyed him. Beckham's life-saving straw was obviously not enough for him. He urgently hoped to grab another life-saving straw.

On days without matches, McLaren watched Endrit's game videos almost every day. The more he watched, the more he got excited. He wished he could pry Endrit away from Chelsea the next second.

While waiting for the cup match, a reporter finally came up to him and asked why Endrit had not been brought to the national team. McClaren almost couldn't wait to say: I will appear at Chelsea's cup match.

McLaren was sitting in the stands at the moment. He could feel the reporters tapping him constantly, but he didn't care at all. His eyes were fixed on Endritt on the field.

Six minutes into the game, after seeing Endritt steadily block a shot from Leicester City player Macaulay that he thought was very threatening, McClaren couldn't help but stand up and applaud loudly.

In the 20th minute of the game, McClaren had a dull expression when he saw Lampard, who was already a player of his national team, score a goal. It was not until nine minutes later when Lampard scored his second goal that the national team coach applauded.

In the 70th and 73rd minutes of the second half, after Endritt saved two sure-shot goals, McLaren stood up excitedly and shouted: Endritt!

The reporter sitting next to McLaren was almost busy. After taking a lot of photos of Endrit, he quickly took several photos of McLaren. He lowered his head and quickly wrote the title on the paper: Premier League goalkeeper conquers the national team coach!

Just after writing the title, the reporter frowned, feeling that the title was not very good, so he crossed out and rewrote a line before nodding with great satisfaction.

[Endrit, the messenger of the sun god on earth, shines brightly in the stadium, and the national team coach McLaren exclaims that he has seen God! 】

What? Endrit said he was a lion and not a sun god?

Reporter: I don’t want to know what you think, I want to know what I think! (Holding a cigarette in a domineering manner)

McLaren took a deep breath, patted his excited heart and sat down. He turned his head and glanced at the reporter next to him. When he saw the headline written by the latter, he couldn't help but curled his lips.

When he recognized the reporter who was giving him a way out, he tried to sell him a piece of news: "That's a good headline. I plan to recruit Ritter into the national team when I return. Maybe you can see him on the stage of the European Cup."

McLaren said this, but he had only one thought in his mind: he must, must let Endrit appear on the European Cup stage, and he absolutely could not lead the team to lose to Croatia. If they lost, not only would he be fired immediately, but he would also be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life!

The reporter sitting next to McLaren's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly wrote a new title on the paper and then blocked the paper tightly, not wanting McLaren to even take a second look at the title.

McLaren didn't care. He focused his attention back on the court and his mood gradually became relaxed and happy.

Shortly after the cup match ended that day, McLaren couldn't wait to call up Endritt.

the next day

While waiting for Endrit's reply, McLaren picked up the newspaper and held his tea, with a slight smile on his face - Endrit is the goalkeeper, he will definitely not let him down, right?

Definitely not, Endrit is a goalkeeper.

McLaren's hand holding the tea began to tremble slightly, his eyes fell on the huge newspaper headline, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

[Endrit, the messenger of the Sun God, shines brightly in the stadium, and McClaren kneels down and begs the Lion King to come to the Three Lions! 】

McLaren: ? ? ? ?

I kneel down? Still crying and begging?

McLaren turned the page of the newspaper with a wooden face, and then found that Endrit was also on the back.

[Endrit talked about his heroic plot after the game

It is reported that Iron Man, the superhero from the famous comic book Marvel, is Endrit's favorite hero since childhood. After the Iron Man movie is released next year, he will book a theater and invite fans to watch the movie.

Endrit confessed affectionately, saying that his mother Liz was the first hero in his life. Because of his mother, he could sit here and accept interviews from reporters...

"Although I seldom say it out loud, I have actually said this countless times in my heart: I love you, Liz. You are the most important person in my life."

…

For Endrit, Portuguese Mourinho is the second hero in his life. Because of Mourinho, Endrit has learned a lot, football, life...

"Wherever the coach is, I'm there. Coach, I will always be your player."

……】

McLaren put down his tea, picked up a pen, and wrote Endrit's name in the goalkeeper position of the national team's starting lineup.

Very good, he, McLaren, is Endritt's next hero.
