Chapter 39
Originally, when he pushed open the door, Endrit was not going to smile. Instead, as before, he informed them with a stern face that he was going to attend a meeting.
Why? Because his whole plan doesn't end here.
Unlike what the Chelsea players thought, Endrit was not angry at all. At the beginning of that day, he felt speechless and helpless, with only one thought in his mind: Why are you so childish?
But since his teammate wanted to play this prank on him, he naturally couldn't be so tactless as to turn his face away, so he started by speaking in an exaggerated aria, and then prepared to kick him out.
I swear to the greatest God of Wealth in the world that he had originally planned to just give a light kick that day to get rid of the prank, and then wait until the next day to ask Sheva whether he wanted to continue training.
But Michael and Makelele dodged, they pressed themselves against the wall like an arrow shot from a bow, and told him: This is just a little prank, it's not worth it.
I also emphasized to him: We just want to see if you really remember me?
At that moment, Endrit cursed "Fuck" in his heart. He instinctively knew that he couldn't let this matter go on in such an unclear way, so he snorted, indicating that he didn't want to talk to them for the time being, and then left.
After returning, Endrit thought about it carefully and realized what made him uncomfortable - if the people in the locker room today were replaced by his teammates from the youth team, the final result of this prank would definitely be that they all laughed together and finally decided to go out for dinner together.
And the person who first proposed the prank must pay the bill. Endrit would hook the other person's neck and say that he would rip him off today. But when they were about to leave, Endrit had already paid the bill and waved his hand, leaving a sentence: How can I let you pay when I'm here? What are you thinking about?
He is more tolerant towards his teammates in the youth team. One reason is that they are indeed still young, and as an old man, he always feels like he is looking at kindergarten kids when looking at them.
The other and most important reason is that they are already friends. They are not only teammates who play football together, but also friends who have lived together for several years. So even though the Iron-Man came from their mouths, Endrit was not angry with them.
Because Endrit knew these guys and could even guess what they were thinking.
But what about him and the players on the home team? Are they friends? Did he know what they were thinking?
No, neither of them, they are just teammates whose relationship is starting to get better.
They had not known each other for very long and had not spoken a few words to each other. Makelele's words, "We just want to see if you really remember us," were the starting point of their prank.
His teammates on the home team recognized him because of his strength, and because he could accurately call out everyone's name and talk to everyone, they were ready to accept him and make him a real member of the home team - not someone who was isolated from the team like Sheva, but a real part of it.
Normally, everyone would talk normally, train together, discuss the team's tactics together, have a meal together, and make private appointments to hang out together a few times, then the relationship would improve, and he would be considered to have truly integrated into the team.
But, they played a prank to test and confirm whether he really remembered them?
It's like when you enter a new company, your colleagues may not treat you very well at first because you were parachuted in. But when they find out that you are truly capable and qualified to join them, they will start to prepare to accept you.
Are pranks between coworkers allowed? Can.
But not at the beginning, because at the beginning such pranks are not simple jokes at all, but are to confirm your status after joining the team.
If you suppress your disgust and show that you don't care about the pranks and integrate yourself into the team, you will have to suppress it in your future work.
Because you accepted this prank indifferently, it proves that you are broad-minded and don't care about other things. If you care and become dissatisfied later, then you, who joined the team because of this prank, can you still be considered to have truly integrated into the team?
If you want to take a leading position in this team and become the core spokesperson from the beginning, you really can't let go of this prank casually.
Yes, he was parachuted in, but he didn't come here to just eat and wait for death. He has goals and abilities. He wants to be the captain in the future. Otherwise, why would he work so hard and waste so many brain cells?
He was racking his brains to think about how to make Mourinho use two lineups in the team, thinking about how to get some players who usually don't play but are indeed capable and just not suitable for the team's tactics, thinking about how to resolve the conflict between coach Mourinho and the big boss, thinking about how to make Chelsea really stabilize, but his future teammates or future friends are still confirming whether he really remembers them.
Well... I can only say that they are not on the same track.
To put it bluntly, he can play for any team after he is kicked out now. Which team doesn't need a strong goalkeeper?
But because he wanted to stay at Chelsea, he made these efforts - but if all these things he did failed and Chelsea still fell apart, then Endrit would betray his loyal Chelsea and follow Mourinho to another team.
It's not that he couldn't accept his teammates' pranks, and he had planned to just let it go at first, but they didn't seem to think so. They just wanted to play a joke, they just wanted to see themselves being scared or unable to tell the difference between the two people.
That is, they only consider the happiness after success, but do not consider what will happen after failure.
Even though they had witnessed his inaccessibility before, his teammates still treated him as a new player who had just joined the team and could let him carry their bags - yes, that's right, this is indeed an unspoken rule.
Yes, as a newcomer he should have been like this, but if Endrit really wanted to come here and pretend to be his grandson, then wouldn't he have lived in vain all these years?
If he really wanted to come here and pretend to be the grandson, then why did he go through so much trouble before? Can't you just bow your head and ask the boss to hold your thigh?
He didn't come here to pretend to be a grandson. He wanted to be the boss from the beginning. When you have the ability to become a big boss yourself, don't think about clinging to others, as that will only shackle you.
So when they couldn't even accept the light kick that hadn't landed yet, Endritt swore directly at Chelsea.
And he didn't need them to apologize at all, he just wanted to make it clear to them that he was not the rookie player they thought he was.
The reason why he came to call them to a meeting today was because in the past period of time, Endrit, who his teammates thought was hiding from Mourinho in his office, was actually surfing the Internet in Mourinho's office.
On the first day, I searched Bielsa on the Internet, a "crazy coach" with a high-pressure system and the ultimate all-out attack and defense.
The next day I searched online for Klopp, the coach who led Mainz into the Bundesliga for the first time in 2004 with his offensive football.
On the third day, Endrit typed in the search bar: How to be a good goalkeeper in an offensive football team.
Then on the fourth day, Mourinho grabbed Endrit's ear.
"What are you searching for? Offensive football? What? You want to change teams?"
Endrit quickly covered his ears. If he had not begged for mercy, he would have asked back: "Coach, do you want to play defensive counterattacks for the rest of your life? But you have me now, coach!"
"Didn't you say this in the interview before? You said that because I'm here, you can try an infinite number of possible tactics. So since I'm here, why doesn't the coach try offensive football?"
"With me guarding the goal, you can try more tactics, coach. Maybe you are good at more than these." Endrit swore to the God of Wealth, "Unless we meet two football kings to score, I will definitely be the last line of defense for the team and guard the goal. In this way, even if our team doesn't score a goal, we will still be tied."
"I want to be the greatest goalkeeper in the world, the greatest goalkeeper who can adapt to any tactics," Endrit looked at Mourinho with sparkling eyes, "Coach, don't you want to be the greatest coach in the world?"
The hook was straight, but the Murray took it.
In the following days, both Endrit and Murray were studying new ways of playing, and Endrit took the opportunity to unload some of the burdens he had been carrying: for example, when playing the team's usual tactics, he would let Cech start.
Although Chelsea fans are very happy that they have a goalkeeper who can keep opponents scoreless in the new season, it does not mean that they will forget Cech so quickly. Endrit has seen that a large number of fans are waiting for Cech to continue to overcome difficulties and create miracles in the new season.
…
"The coach wants us to go to a meeting?" John, as the captain, stood up first. "What meeting?"
"A tactical meeting," Endrit explained with a smile, "Hurry up, the coach is waiting."
Yes, he originally didn't intend to laugh, but continued to keep a cold face and wait for him to practice cooperation with his teammates who played offensive football with him for several games. After a few games, after Abu came to the team and delivered things himself, he would slowly get familiar with his teammates and finally become friends.
When he was in the youth team, his teammates thought he was a good person and knew that he would help with almost anything they asked of him.
But his teammates in the youth team do not regard him as a "goody-goody" or a "goody-goody", because he helps those who should be helped and does not help those who should not be helped. He will protect them but will never cover up for them.
This is how it is these days. You keep giving and playing the role of a good person. You think you are simple-minded and kind-hearted, but others just think you are stupid and make all kinds of demands on you. If you can't do it, then you are not a good person, and you may even be upgraded to a bad guy.
Being a good person also requires skills, and they will play football together for a long time. Endrit is not in a hurry at all.
But, think about what he heard at the locker room door! Oh my God, this... Endrit was speechless and even a little scared.
This group of future teammates seemed to be a little simpler than he had imagined?
"Ritter, I'm sorry." Makelele was the first to catch up with Endrit after leaving the locker room. "I didn't mean it that day. I hope you can forgive me."
Michael also came over and said, "I'm sorry, Ritter. I was such a jerk that day."
Endrit smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, as long as you don't mind the increased training volume in the future."
"well?"
Yes, the training volume increased. Chelsea currently does not have that many capable players to form two lineups, so many of the players in the two lineups are cross-used and reused - in this way, wouldn't the daily training volume of those players who are needed in both lineups increase?
It’s good that the training volume has increased, so that they don’t have the energy to play pranks after training.
"The two sets of tactics for the new season are basically like this, one for defense and one for offense." Mourinho is now at the top with his arms folded, with a serious expression, "I have prepared the content for your training for the next period of time, but because the next game is about to start, Ritter will temporarily train the players who will not play in the next game."
"Sheva, Paul..." Endrit stood up and read out a few familiar names. "You will start training with me from today. I have written down all the training plans. I will help and cooperate with you to complete the training."
After Endrit finished speaking, he sat down. Mourinho then made a few more conclusions and finally announced the disbandment of the team, asking everyone to go back early today and come to the team for training early tomorrow.
Mourinho left after he finished speaking, and soon only Endrit and other Chelsea players were left in the meeting room.
When Endrit finished organizing the training content and was about to leave, he found that they had not left yet.
"you……"
"Ritter, have you been busy with these things these days?" John Terry asked, "So you haven't been ignoring us on purpose these days?"
Endrit blinked, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've been too busy lately, but I did deliberately not talk to you."
"Please," Endrit put his hands together, his tone a little complaining, "I tried very hard to remember each of your names. I thought we had a good chat and were already good friends, but I didn't expect you to hate me."
"We don't hate you, Ritter."
"Yes! Ritter! We love you so much!"
Endrit laughed while holding the training plan, thinking that it would be nice if you could continue to think this way when you train tomorrow.
"That's right, Ritter." John reached out and patted Endrit's shoulder. "I'm the captain. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me directly. I will help you."
Endrit smiled and nodded, but the smile on his face quickly became stiff.
[Ding ding ding!] 】
[The host has triggered a special task: After the host sends the bound love object to John Terry, the "Ultimate NTR" achievement will be unlocked and 100 points will be awarded! 】
Endrit lowered his eyes and stared at John's hand on his shoulder, his eyelids twitching: What is this? What are these?
Damn!
Where is the simplicity you promised?
