Chapter 22: Drivers and Journalists

At 9:45 a.m., Kirbine got up.

Breakfast was French bread, fresh jam, and black coffee.

He turned on his computer and read the news of the day.

The coziness and tranquility that a person needs most in the morning is not lacking in Kabine.

Every training session, although it is to maintain competitive fitness, Coach Corboni prefers to see the actual improvement of the players. As for yesterday's training in the rain, it was clear to Carbine that he seemed to be slowly finding the next staircase.

Training in the rain was a certain amount of effort, and the exertion of the body made Kirbine return home early after finishing his training yesterday afternoon. When he got home, Kirbine took three phone calls.

One was a call from Mr. Haas, who simply asked about Kabine's life.

One was a call from Van Khakit, the squirrel, inviting Kirbyne to go out for dinner, but was declined.

The last time was a phone call from Miss Tees, informing her that CarbinΓ© would have a visit today.

Yes, a visit wèn.

After discussing with Miss Tees, it was decided to accept a brief interview with the sports newspaper and pass the guΓ² newspaper to convey the message that he wanted to return to the old man.

After breakfast, I took a shower and changed into new clothes.

Kabine went out, still hailing a taxi and heading towards the training base.

Sitting in the car, Kirbine's mind was repeating what to say in an interview.

Is it a simple expression of respect for the elderly?

Or is it simply thanks to the old man for his encouragement?

Kirby said inwardly: It seems that he has to say some of both, which will make the old man feel that he attaches great importance to the letter.

Kabine bent his arms against the window, his chin propped up, and nodded silently, his face full of thoughts.

"Hmm~~ Sir! Are you Kabine, please? The taxi driver spoke suddenly.

The words distracted him, and Kabine came to his senses.

"Huh? Excuse me, what do you say? Kabine asked.

The driver looked at Carbine in the rearview mirror and said, "Sir, I'm asking if you are Carbine of the Granada team?" ”

Kabine smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, yes, I'm Kabine!" ”

The driver also smiled and said, "Ha! I was so lucky to have a star on board today! ”

Carbine laughed to himself: "I'm not a star, am I? ”

The driver said, "Even if it's not now, it will definitely be in the future." Believe in my vision, and please believe in yourself. ”

Kabine nodded, smiling.

As the driver drove the car, he asked, "I'm a big fan of the Granada team, can you give me an autograph later?" ”

"Of course no problem, I'd love to!" ”

When the driver heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and whistled.

There is no doubt that Carbine does want to be a star that fans all over the world know. But he despised his speed of fame and exposure, just as he neglected the most basic pursuit of life, thinking that everything was simple, and that only football in football was enough.

But in the world of football, it's not just football.

The taxi was about to drive to the training base, and the driver stopped whistling on his lips.

The driver said, "Hey, Kabine. As a word of caution, if you're out shopping or playing, don't go to Berry Street, because there are a lot of bars around there and it's also a gathering place for Granada fans, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of it. ”

Kabine asked, "Really?" The fans hate me? ”

The driver smirked: "You misunderstood! It's the fans who love you. Imagine if you go to Berry Street, guess what the consequences will be? ”

Kabine understood, and said, "The big deal is that the signature is soft!" ”

The driver said, "That's second, I promise, you don't imagine that out of control." ”

After listening to the taxi driver's reply, Cabine's first reaction was that the driver's words were exaggerated, because he felt that he had only played for Granada for 45 minutes, and the fans were so crazy about his affection.

Seeing that Kabine lowered his head and thought about something, the driver just added: "I believe that you will not question your own strength, but I also hope that you will not question your local fame." ”

Kabinet came back to his senses and simply said, "Thank you for your appreciation!" I'll do my best! ”

The taxi came to a steady stop and stopped at the entrance of the training base.

Fortunately, there was not a single drop of drizzle at the training base today.

The driver took out a notebook, turned to Carbine, and said, "This is the book I use to keep small accounts, so sign your name here." ”

Kabine smiled, smiling more kindly. Sign your name in your notebook carefully.

"That's right! Let's take a picture with my phone! The driver suddenly asked.

Kabine still smiled and nodded.

"~~~Click~~~"

Kabine and the driver took a group photo in the car, the driver held his mobile phone, looked at the photos inside, and smiled.

Kabine paid the fare again, but the driver flatly refused.

The driver waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay the fare, I'm the one who picked up the cheap today, ~~haha~~." ”

Still polite, Kabine said, "That...... Thank you! ”

Kirbine got out of the car, and the driver waved goodbye.

The two said goodbye.

As soon as Kabine walked into the training base, a receptionist from the base stepped forward and said, "Good morning! Carbine! Miss Tess is waiting for you, please come with me. ”

Carbine said, "Thank you! He followed the receptionist to Miss Tees's office.

Pretty Miss Tess again, and Carbine loved to see her.

When Miss Tis saw Carbine, she stood up, stretched out her hand, and said, "Good morning! Carbine!. ”

Carbine reached out and shook hands with Tess, saying, "Good morning, Miss Tess! ”

The receptionist withdrew, and Carbinay and Miss Teese were seated in their office chairs.

"Well, I scheduled the visit to Wèn in twenty minutes and in the reception room for foreign guests, is there a problem?" Miss Tease was quick to talk.

"Well, no problem!" Kabine was quick to reply.

"Well, according to you, the old man is from Madrid."

"That's right! The old man said it himself. ”

"Well, in fact, I specially arranged for a local sports newspaper in Madrid to do an interview for you this time, mainly to ensure that the old man can see the report."

"Thank you for your careful arrangement, Miss Tess."

"You know what? Kabine. There are a lot of sports newspapers out there that want to visit you. Miss Tiess changed the subject.

"Really? Is it a lot? ”

"There are probably eight sports newspapers!"

"So much?" Kirbine's appearance was slightly surprised.

"Don't be surprised, I haven't counted a few foreign sports newspapers."

After listening to this, Kirbine felt as if an electric current was rushing all over his body, and he was numb.

He didn't understand that just a forty-five-minute performance could elicit such a big repercussion?

In the world of football, is it really not just football?

Miss Teese continued: "Today's theme is not pure football, I hope you can master the rhythm. ”

Kirbine, who was still numb all over, said, "Yes, I understand. I'll focus on the old man. ”

Both nodded in satisfaction.

"~~Knock~~Knock~~" knocked softly on the door twice.

Knock on Miss Tess's office door.

It turned out to be Miss Tess's secretary, and she said, "Miss Tess, the reporter's side is ready." ”

"Okay," said Tice, "we're almost ready to go." ”

The secretary stepped back, and retreated quickly.

Miss Tess stood up and said, "All right, let's go over." ”

CarbinΓ© also stood up and followed Miss Tess to the reception room for foreign guests, and as he went, he thought about what he had to say during his visit.

The two of them came to the reception room for foreign guests, and Kirbine walked in.

The interior is clean and simple, with a large soft and fine wool carpet on the floor, two leather-made couches in the middle, arranged in an L-shape, and a half-glass table in the middle of the sofa, on which a coffee pot and several paper cups are placed.

When the two reporters who had been sitting saw Carbinay and Miss Teese coming, they stood up, shook hands several times, and introduced each other.

Then the four of them sat down together, and one of the reporters said, "Miss Tis has made the theme of this visit very clear, but we still want to visit WΓ¨n Kabine with some other questions, is that okay?" ”

Kabinay and the two reporters looked at Tess at the same time.

Miss Toughs said, "Absolutely. ”

He was very happy to see the reporter like that, and he straightened his hands in Chinese and prepared to visit Wèn. Another reporter took out a voice recorder and prepared to record it.

The reporter asked: "It's been a while since you joined the Granada team, are you used to it?" ”

The reporter's first question turned out to be not about the old man, which surprised Kirbine, but he replied anyway:

"Yes, the coaches and teammates here are very friendly, and they are very used to it."

The reporter asked: "So far, you have only played for the Granada team for 45 minutes, how do you evaluate your performance?" ”

After listening to this, Cabine felt that the question seemed to be off topic, and he looked at Miss Tease, only to see Miss Tess nodding slightly, indicating that there was no problem, and that it would be enough to answer the questions first.

So Kabine replied, "Hmm...... I feel like it's unfair to me to rush to a verdict in 45 minutes, the season is long and I just want my performance to get better and better. ”

The reporter nodded and asked again: "Then what kind of results do you hope the team can achieve this season?" ”

Carbine shook his head, as if he could not bear it any longer, and he did not speak first, but Miss Tess spoke first:

"Could you please be clear about the topic of today's visit?"

The reporter defended: "I understand this, we will get into the topic in a moment, but we want to ask about the game first." ”

"You can ask questions about the competition, but first visit WΓ¨n's topic for today. ”

Miss Rice vowed not to give way, and the reporter's face was so embarrassed.

The reporter said, "Well, let's visit today's topic first. ”

"Good! Then I'm here to go! ”

The reporter said, "Let's get started." ”

Then Carbine carefully recounted the encounter with the old man on the plane, the encouragement the old man gave him, and the letter that the old man had sent.

After listening to it, the reporter asked: "That letter really doesn't have a return address and name?" ”

"Yes," replied Kabine, "I have carefully searched for it on letterheads and envelopes, and certainly not. ”

The reporter asked, "Even if we publish your visit, will the old man see it?" ”

"I'm sure so," replied Carbine, "the old man is a football fan and reads football newspapers every day. ”

The reporter said: "I can't imagine that you are so persistent, do you have to call back to the old man?" ”

Kabine's tone and eyes were equally firm, and he said, "Yes! Be sure to go back! ”
