Chapter 22 Chapter 22: The Driver and the Reporter

At 45:[-] in the morning, Kabinet woke up.

Breakfast is French bag, fresh jam, and black strong coffee.

He turned on the computer and read today's news.

The comfort and tranquility that a person needs most in the morning can be found in Cabine.

Although every training session is to maintain a competitive state, Coach Coboni prefers to see the actual progress of the players.As for yesterday's training in the rain, Kabinet was very clear that he seemed to have slowly found the stairs to climb another floor.

Training in the rain is bound to be strenuous, and the physical exhaustion made Kabinet return home early after finishing training yesterday afternoon.After returning home, Cabinet answered the phone three times.

One was a call from Mr. Haas, just asking how Kabinet was doing.

One was a call from Van Cuckett, the mouse, who invited Kabinet out for dinner, but was declined.

The last time was a call from Miss Tees, announcing that Cabinet would have an interview today.

Yes, a visit.

Previously, Kabini received a letter from the old man, but unfortunately he did not have a return address and name. After discussing with Ms. Tees, he decided to accept a brief interview with sports newspapers to convey the message to the old man through the newspapers.

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

Kabinet went out, still stopped a taxi, and drove towards the training base.

Sitting in the car, Kabinet repeated in his mind what he should say in an interview for a while?
Is it simply to express respect for the elderly?
Or is it purely thanks to the old man for his encouragement?

Kirby said in his heart: It seems that he has to say something about both, so that the old man feels that he attaches great importance to the letter.

Kabini leaned on the car window with his arms bent, rested his chin in his hands, and nodded silently, his face full of thoughts.

"Mm~~ Sir! Are you Kabinet?" the taxi driver said suddenly.

The incoming words scattered his thoughts, and Kabini recalled it.

"Huh? Excuse me, what did you say?" Cabine asked.

The driver looked at Cabine through the rear-view mirror in the car and said, "Sir, I'm asking if you are the Granada team's Cabine?"

Cabine smiled shyly and said, "Well, yes, I'm Cabine!"

The driver also smiled and said, "Ha! I'm so lucky to have picked up a star today!"

Cabine laughed at himself: "I'm not a star, am I?"

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

Cabine nodded, smiling.

While driving the car, the driver asked again: "I'm a loyal fan of the Granada team, can you give me an autograph later?"

Cabine said: "Of course no problem, I would love to!"

After hearing this, the driver smiled with satisfaction and whistled.

There is no doubt that Cabine really wants to become a star known to fans all over the world.But he underestimated his speed of fame and exposure, just like he ignored the most basic pursuit of life, thinking that everything is simple, and only football in football is enough.

But in the world of football, football is not the only thing.

The taxi was about to arrive at the training base, and the driver stopped whistling.

The driver said: "Hey, Cabine. Just to remind you, if you go out shopping or playing, don't go to Berry Street, because there are many bars near there, and it is also a gathering place for Granada fans. Can't get out."

Cabine asked: "Really? The fans hate me?"

The driver laughed ghostly: "You misunderstood! The fans love you very much. Imagine you go to Berry Street, what do you think will happen?"

Cabine understood, and said, "The big deal is to be soft on signing and signing in!"

The driver said: "That's all, I promise, you won't imagine that kind of out-of-control scene."

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 just played for Granada for 45 minutes, and the fans loved him so crazy?
The driver saw that Kabinet was thinking about something, and just added: "I believe you will not question your own strength, but I also hope that you will not question your local reputation."

Cabine returned to his senses and just said: "Thank you for your appreciation! I will work hard!"

The taxi stopped steadily and stopped at the entrance of the training base.

Fortunately, the training base did not see a drop of drizzle today.

The driver took out a notebook, turned his head and said to Kabini: "This is the notebook I use to keep small accounts, you can sign your name here."

Cabine smiled, a more friendly smile.Seriously sign your name on the notebook.

"By the way! Let's take a photo with my mobile phone!" The driver suddenly proposed.

Cabine still smiled and nodded.

"~~~click~~~"

Kabinet and the driver took a group photo in the car. The driver held his mobile phone and looked at the photos inside, grinning from ear to ear.

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

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

Cabine still said politely: "Then...thank you!"

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

The two said goodbye.

Kabinet walked into the training base. As soon as he arrived at the reception counter, a base receptionist stepped forward and said, "Good morning! Kabinai! Miss Teess is waiting for you, please follow me."

Cabine said, "Thank you!" and followed the receptionist to Miss Tice's office.

It was pretty Miss Tees again, whom Cabinet loved to see.

When Miss Tees saw Cabine, she stood up, stretched out her hand, and said, "Good morning! Cabine!."

Kabini reached out, shook hands with Tees, and said, "Good morning, Miss Teese!"

The receptionist backed out, and Kabinet and Miss Tees were already sitting on office chairs.

"Well, I've arranged the interview to be held in the reception room for foreign guests in 10 minutes from now. Is there any problem?" Miss Tees spoke quickly.

"Well, no problem!" Cabine quickly replied.

"Well, as you tell me, the old man is from Madrid."

"Yes! The old man said it himself."

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

"Thank you for your careful arrangements, Miss Tees."

"Did you know? Kabinet. There are many sports newspapers out there who want to interview you." Miss Tees quickly changed the subject.

"Really? A lot?"

"There are about eight sports newspapers!"

"So much?" Kabiner looked slightly surprised.

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

After listening to it, Kabini felt as if an electric current surged all over his body, and he was numb.

He didn't understand that just a 45-minute performance could elicit such a big response?

In the world of football, is football really not the only thing?
Miss Teess continued: "Today's theme is not purely about football interviews. I hope you can grasp the rhythm well."

Kabini was still numb all over, and said again: "Yes, I understand. I will focus on the old man."

Both nodded in satisfaction.

"~~咚~~咚~~" There were two gentle knocks on the door.

Knock on Miss Teese's office door.

It turned out to be Miss Teese's secretary, she said: "Miss Teese, the reporters are ready."

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

The secretary stepped back, quickly.

Miss Tees got up and said, "Well, let's go."

Cabine also stood up, and followed Miss Teess to the reception room for foreign guests. He kept thinking along the way, thinking about what he would say during the interview.

The two came to the reception room for foreign guests, and Kabinet walked in.

The interior is clean and simple. There is a large carpet of soft and fine hair on the floor. There are two sofas made of fine leather in the middle, which are placed in an L shape. There is a low table made of half glass in the middle of the sofa. With a coffee pot and some paper cups.

The two reporters who had been sitting stood up when they saw Kabinet and Ms. Teess coming. They shook hands several times and introduced each other.

Then the four sat down together, and one of the reporters said first: "Miss Teess has expressed the subject of this visit very clearly, but we still want to visit Kabinet for some other questions, is that okay?"

Cabine and the two reporters looked at Tice at the same time.

Miss Teess said, "That's all right."

He was very happy to see the reporter like that. He sorted out the documents in his hand and prepared to visit.The other reporter took out the recording pen and prepared to record.

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

The reporter's first question was not about the old man, which surprised Kabinet, but he still replied:
"Yes, the coaches and teammates here are very friendly, everything is very used to it."

The reporter asked again: "Up to now, you have only played for Granada for 45 minutes. How do you evaluate your performance?"

After listening to Kabini, he felt that the question seemed to be off topic. He looked at Miss Tees, and saw Miss Teese nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem, and it would be fine to answer these questions first.

So Cabine replied: "Well... I think it's unfair to judge me in 45 minutes. The season is long. I just hope that my performance will get better and better."

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

Cabinet shook his head, almost unable to bear it anymore. Before he spoke first, Miss Teess said:

"Please clarify the topic of today's interview, please?"

The reporter defended: "I understand this. We will get into the topic later, but we want to ask about the game first."

Miss Tice said, "You can ask questions about the competition, but first visit today's topic."

Miss Teess vowed not to give way, the reporter was very embarrassed.

The reporter said: "Okay, let's visit today's topic first."

Cabine said, "Okay! Then I'll start!"

"Let's get started," said the reporter.

Then Kabinet carefully recounted the encounter with the old man on the plane, the encouragement given to him by the old man, and the letter sent by the old man.

After listening to the reporter, the reporter asked: "Is there really no return address and name in that letter?"

Cabinet replied: "Yes, I have searched carefully on the letter paper and envelopes, and it is certainly not there."

The reporter asked again: "Even if we publish your interview, will the elderly see it?"

Cabine replied: "I believe so. The old man is a fan and reads football newspapers every day."

The reporter said: "I didn't expect you to be so persistent. Do you have to call the old man?"

Cabine's tone and eyes were equally firm, and he said, "Yes! Be sure to come back!"
