Chapter 034: The suicide of goalkeeper Enke
Robert Enke died, and he ended his young life in such a tragic way as lying on the rails.
Not long after Zhuo Yang fell asleep, he was in a daze and had not fully fallen asleep when he was woken up by a call from the mad dog Rand. The dog told him that something had happened to Enke and that he was dead.
In the bloody dusk, 32-year-old Robert Enke calmly walked onto the tracks after wandering aimlessly in his car all day. At 10 a.m., Enke left home alone after telling his wife, Theresa, that she was going to practice, but the AWD Arena never waited for their goalkeeper.
When the driver of the train from Bremen to Hanover spotted Enke on the tracks in the evening glow, it was too late. After receiving a call from the train driver, it took several hours for the Hannover police to confirm Enke's identity from the personal belongings of a car parked not far away.
The news quickly spread throughout Hannover and also to Barcelona. Zhuo Yang couldn't believe the sudden tragedy, and received a call from Enke before getting on the plane during the day, and made an appointment with him to go back next time to get together for a drink. Zhuo Yang suddenly realized that Enke probably had something to say to him during the day, but he rejected him, which made Zhuo Yang feel very guilty and even painful.
Enke is a friend of Zhuo Yang, and the two have known each other for about five or six years through the troll Gomez. Zhuo Yang is the kind of person who divides the circle of friends very clearly, and there is a clear line between friends and non-friends in him. But when it comes to Enke specifically, to be honest, he is not a very important friend of Zhuo Yang, far less than the Six Musketeers and old teammates of Madiburg and Milan, and even as good as the fan leader Big SB and the bald head Cleaver.
If Zhuo Yang is asked to count his friends, there will definitely be Enke among them, and if he is asked to rank his friends, Enke will be very far behind. Enke is the kind of person who gets along with friends very quietly, does not show off, does not rush to pay, and rarely even takes the initiative to ask friends to get together, and friends will often ignore him.
But Enke has a very rare and not easy to be noticed by others: he never shirks the invitation of his friends.
During Zhuo Yang's four years in Hannover, sometimes he was really bored and wanted to find someone to get together for a drink, but he couldn't keep things going on at home. Whenever this happens, it always gives him a great sense of loneliness and frustration, and at such times, Enke will definitely be fine.
This kind of companionship personality is very rare, such a friend will never shirk the appointment as long as the phone rings, Enke always quietly accompanies friends when they need to be accompanied, drinking a little wine and blowing a little.
But such a character will always be ignored by the friends around him, and he can't see his preciousness, and Zhuo Yang only realized these in this guilty sleepless night, thinking about it carefully.
The next day, Zhuo Yang's eyes were full of sleepless bloodshot and came to Gamble Sports City, and the Barcelona club had also received the news, and Enke's misfortune caused quite an uproar here, because he was a Barcelona player.
In the summer of 2002, Nke was recruited by Barcelona for his excellent performances at Benfica, Portugal, but he spent two dismal seasons here, including a year on loan at Fenerbahce in Turkey and Tenerife in La Liga. During his time at Barcelona, Nke only came off the bench once and caused the team to lose due to mistakes.
In 2004, Nke was brought back to Hannover 96 by Coach Linin, and it was only then that he really found his gloves. Enke brought Hannover 96 back to the first division with his outstanding saves and he himself was favored by Loew and selected for the national team.
After the aging of Kahn and Lehmann, the German national team goalkeeper faced a shortage of players, and Enke rose in time to fill the void. Previously, some media opinions believed that Enke is likely to become the starting goalkeeper of the German team at the World Cup in South Africa next summer.
However, Enke was unlucky for the national team, as he was replaced by Adler after picking up an injury during a pre-qualifying training session with Russia last November. After returning from injury this year, Rienke also went to China with the German team to play a friendly match in the summer, and was scored by Hao Junmin. Just last month, Enke was injured again while training with the national team, and was replaced by Adler ahead of the qualifiers against Russia.
Now Schalke 04 young goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has risen explosively, Enke feels the huge pressure from the national team, coupled with Bout and Wiese, Enke has no advantage, and the place in South Africa has become no longer secure.
.
Nke has not left much of a mark on Barcelona, and only veterans such as Puyol and Xavi have a slight impression of him in the current team. Even the then new chairman Laporta and then-coach Rijkaard had a vague impression of him. Because Enke was not only not good in the team at that time, but also too quiet and low-key.
The BarΓ§a people only pay attention to Enke out of professional football etiquette, and there is not much concern among them. Most of the unfortunate things that happen every day in this world are just the talk of irrelevant people, and they are not even known to outsiders at all.
But Zhuo Yang's depressed appearance was very abnormal, and when other people came to care and ask, he didn't want to pay attention to it, just waved his hand and said it was okay.
Pep Guardiola stared at him from the side for a long time before slowly walking over.
"Zhuo Yang, yes...... Enke? β
ββ¦β¦ Well, he ...... It's my friend. β
"You guys have a good relationship?"
"Well...... not bad." Zhuo Yang shrugged his shoulders, but his expression was still very dull.
Gua Shuai said, "That's it, Zhuo Yang." You go back to Hannover. β
Zhuo Yang looked up at Guardiola, his eyes still very tangled. "But, tomorrow...... There's a game tomorrow. β
"Go ahead, I'll give you a holiday." Gua Shuai said: "Go back and have a good night's sleep." We believe there will be a move on our side of the club soon, and Nke used to be a player here, he ...... He's a good lad. "When Enke came to Barcelona, Pep Guardiola had already gone to Serie A, and the two had not met.
Barcelona will face Mallorca at home tomorrow, but Zhuo Yang's current mental state is obviously not suitable for training, let alone playing.
"Oh well. Thank you, Pep. β
Guardiola smiled and patted Zhuo Yang on the shoulder.
.
In fact, Zhuo Yang was very emotionally complicated at this time, he felt guilty because he refused Enke's invitation, and he was afraid because of this guilt, he was afraid that his refusal was one of the reasons for this tragedy. And because he was afraid, there was still a trace of anger, but he didn't know who to be angry with.
Am I responsible for this death? What do you want to say when you call me? Why are you calling me? The entanglement of emotions even made Zhuo Yang a little annoyed.
Walking out of Hannover Airport, Zhuo Yang didn't know where to go. Go to Enke? He was now in the cold cupboard of the mortuary. Go to Rand who told him the news? And what to say to him? I went to find Koko, but today I came for Enke.
Just when Zhuo Yang was in a dilemma, a regional flight from Potsdam also landed in Hannover, and Joanna Reed, the main forward of the German women's football powerhouse Turbin, met Zhuo Yang at the airport.
Joanna and Enke are also very good friends, and it goes without saying that she came in a hurry for Enke. Seeing Zhuo Yang, Joanna lay in his arms and cried silently.
