Chapter 85
Endrit's calmness did not last long. When he returned to the locker room, he learned the unfortunate news: Lampard had a strain on his right thigh and might need to rest for treatment.
"I felt a little uncomfortable during the last game, but nothing happened after the game so I didn't care..." Lampard's voice became smaller and smaller under Endrit's gaze. He couldn't help but lower his head slowly. It was not until he saw his feet that he realized something was wrong. He raised his head and said, "No, why should I be afraid of you? Even if I had checked after the last game, I guess nothing would have been found! The team doctor examined me at the time and said that I just needed to rest!"
Endrit stared at Lampard expressionlessly. Lampard sighed and covered his face with his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, I know. Next time I will seek medical treatment in time. I beg you not to look at me like this. It's too stressful."
"I haven't said anything yet," Endritt reached out and patted Lampard's shoulder. "It's inconvenient for you to walk now. Are you going to the awards ceremony at the end of the year in a wheelchair?"
Now it was Lampard's turn to stare at Endritt expressionlessly.
Endrit smiled slightly and raised his hand to indicate, "I can push you to the scene!"
England's winter transfer window usually opens on January 1 and lasts until the end of February or March. At the beginning of the new year, the English Football League Awards Ceremony, which has been held since 2006, will summarize the outstanding performances of football figures in the past year.
After the subsequent list was announced, several Chelsea players were on the list, including Lampard.
Endrit thought that Lampard was unlucky enough to face the new year with an injury, but he never expected that their opponent in this game, Newcastle United midfielder Barton, would have to spend the new year in prison.
Why? Because this guy was involved in a fight in the center of Liverpool after the game, he was detained by Merseyside Police until January 3.
Who wouldnât say this is outrageous?
On December 30, at the invitation of Ronaldinho, although Endrit did not go to watch Manchester United's last game of the year, he watched the match between Manchester United and West Ham United on TV on time.
In the 14th minute of the game, Manchester United midfielder Giggs made a cross, and Ronaldinho, who had been lying in ambush in front of the goal, jumped high and successfully scored with a diving header.
Endrit opened a bottle of Coke to cheer for Ronaldo, and then silently handed the Coke to him under the gaze of Mendes, "I'll open it for you first."
Mendes took the Coke, raised his head and took a sip before complaining, "I really don't understand you two. Why don't you go to the game? You have today off, right?"
"I'm a Chelsea player," Endrit pointed to the Chelsea home jersey he had put on before the game, "How can I go to the scene and cheer for other teams publicly? I can support them privately, but I don't think it would be good to go to the game publicly."
"Why is it not good?"
"What if Coach Ferguson thinks I want to transfer to Manchester United?" Endrit sighed softly, "You know, I'm not good at rejecting people. If Coach Ferguson sees me and talks to me on the spot, how can I reject him politely? But rejecting others is not a very polite thing to do, isn't it?"
Mendes fell silent, put the Coke on the table, and watched the first half of the game with Endrit in a trance. During the halftime break, he stopped Endrit and asked the question he had been wanting to ask recently, "You don't really want to play football for Chelsea for the rest of your life, do you?"
"Why not?" Endrit lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm already used to this place. If I change to another environment, I may need more time to adapt."
Mendes covered his face and sighed sadly. He waited until the second half of the game was about to start before he reached out to grab Endrit and said earnestly: "Don't say that you will only play for Chelsea in the future. I support your decision, but before that, we must first respect the pound. Do you understand me?"
Endrit nodded vigorously, "I understand!"
After all, who doesn't love money? If the love system had not allowed him to bind the football, he would probably have bound it to gold... Oh no, think about it carefully, if the love system had not agreed to let him bind the football, he probably would have ignored the system in the future.
The game on TV continued. In the 66th minute, a West Ham United player handballed in the penalty area and Manchester United got a chance to take a penalty kick.
Without any objection, the penalty kick opportunity was given to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had never missed a penalty since joining Manchester United.
"It looks like Manchester United will win 2:0."
Mendes gave his judgment while drinking a Coke, but before he finished his words, the football somehow brushed the left post and rolled out of the bottom line.
In the camera, little Ronaldinho looked like he was about to cry. He covered his face and sat down on the grass.
Endrit sat up straight and concentrated, "It's just a penalty missed. Manchester United is still leading. It's okay."
Five minutes later, looking at the score of 1:2 in the upper left corner of the TV, Endrit and Mendes looked at each other and then turned their heads silently to stare at the game still going on on TV.
How to say it, in the short five minutes just past, West Ham United scored two goals in a row and successfully reversed the situation.
âBeep, beep, beepâŚâ
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game and the score remained at 1:2, Endrit turned to look at Mendes with a complicated expression, "Tell me, who is the crow's mouth between the two of us?"
Mendez opened his mouth but Endritt continued, "You drove here, right? How long does it take to get to Manchester from here?"
Mendes thought he had misheard, "What?"
"He's definitely going to cry," Endritt said, pulling out his phone, "I want to take more ugly photos of him crying!"
Four hours later
Mendes sat on the single sofa and looked at Endrit who kept whispering to comfort little Ronaldinho. He took out his mobile phone and silently took a picture, then looked back at the door with disgust.
He also said that he came here to take ugly photos of little Luo. Bah, who are you trying to fool? Is the friendship among children always so hard on the outside but soft on the inside?
Oh, no, Ronaldinho once boasted to him that Endrit was his fan, so this attitude is not surprising.
In that case, what Endritt said just now about being afraid that Coach Ferguson would ask and he would be embarrassed to refuse was completely false. It was obvious that he was afraid that Ronaldinho would ask and he would be embarrassed to refuse, right?
ăHost~ă
The system jumped from the coffee table into Endrit's arms and turned into a rose. [Currently, humans have a very high degree of favorability towards you. Host, do you want to change your romantic partner? Because the favorability of humans is high, you will be upgraded directly after binding with this love object! ă
Endrit glanced down at the rose in his arms, his eyelids twitched a few times, and then he pulled up the system with a dark face and threw it to the ground. Then he reached out and pressed Xiao Xiao Luo's eyebrows to make the latter raise his head.
"What's wrong?"
Endrit didn't say anything, but reached into his pocket, took out his cell phone and took a photo. After being stunned for a second, Xiao Xiao Luo suddenly jumped up, and he became energetic all of a sudden.
"Endrit!"
"You said you were my fan! How can a fan take ugly photos of their idol?"
"Delete it for me! Delete it!"
Endrit held his phone high up, dodging Xiao Xiao Luo's hand that was trying to grab the phone. He even gave Xiao Xiao Luo a thumbs up and said, "Very good, very energetic!"
Ronaldinho was very sad before, not only because he missed the penalty, but also because tomorrow, December 31st, is coach Ferguson's birthday. Losing the game on the day before the coach's birthday was really not a happy thing.
But that was in the past. Now Xiao Xiao Luo is not sad. He just wants to snatch Endrit's phone and delete the photo!
December 31
Mendes got up early and bought newspapers. Not surprisingly, most of the news reports were negative about Ronaldinho.
"Manchester United's No. 7 turned from a hero to a sinner, Ronaldinho missed his first penalty and could not escape the tragedy of being a superstar"â
"Ronaldo scored a header but missed a penalty, Manchester United suffered a reversal within five minutes due to bad luck"âĄ
"Ferguson's 66th birthday was overshadowed by his most proud disciple's missed penalty kick"
At first, Mendes didn't expect that the English people had such a good memory. They still remembered the World Cup even after such a long time. Ronaldinho's outstanding performance on the field would not make the headlines, but Ronaldinho's failure in the game would definitely be reported.
Mendes had wanted to change the bad public opinion environment against Ronaldinho, but he could not find any favorable factors. After all, Ronaldinho had a bad temper and had offended a lot of media. It is estimated that only when Ronaldinho leaves Manchester United and Manchester United's performance declines, and Manchester United fans begin to miss the team with Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho's reputation in England can be slowly reversed.
But now - Mendes took out his mobile phone and smiled triumphantly, and posted the photos he took yesterday on the Internet, with the caption: Ritter said he had to rush to Manchester to take ugly photos of Ronaldinho, but the latter was too upset to lose the ball, so he had to comfort him a little
This photo was not widely forwarded until the afternoon. The print media were shocked after seeing the photo. Ronaldinho also called Mendes and asked him to delete the photo immediately.
"If Ritt saw this, he would definitely post an ugly photo saying that he did take it!"
Endrit was indeed tempted to do something, but considering the long-standing friendship he silently suppressed the idea.
On January 1, 2008, Chelsea played their first away game of the year against Fulham.
But before Chelsea had the chance to get off to a good start in the new year, bad news about Makelele came.
The day before yesterday, when the team was on vacation, McClay was rushed to the hospital because he had problems with his balance and had difficulty keeping his balance when walking.
After a long period of examination and treatment, it was finally determined that there was a problem with Makelele's ear. Yesterday, the hospital performed surgery on him.
The rest of the Chelsea players only learned of the unfortunate news after arriving at the team this morning.
"The operation was successful, but he needs to rest for at least three weeks." Mourinho looked at everyone, "I think you should know that in today's game, you didn't just play for yourself."
