Chapter 1000
"Tony Twain announces his retirement!"

"This time it's a complete farewell!"

"It's unbelievable that he would choose to leave at the peak of his career..."

"His retirement is a great loss for English football!"

Even those media who were blacklisted by Twain after the final felt sorry for his departure at this moment.Although it was not news that Twain would resign as England's head coach after the World Cup, no one could have imagined that he would choose to bid farewell completely—retirement.

The news of England winning the World Cup only stayed on the headlines of major media for two days before being replaced by Dunn's decision.

There were many rumors about why he retired for a while, but none of them were trustworthy, because Tang En didn't further explain why he wanted to retire, instead of simply resigning.

※ ※ ※

"You actually resigned?" Shania widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Tang En who was sitting opposite her.

Tang En smiled and admired the expression on his wife's face, even if he was surprised, he was so pretty.

"Yeah, resigned! Are you upset? I think you're just surprised."

"Uh..." Shania didn't know if she was happy after hearing the news, or if she should be happy.

The two people today are not in the UK, but in Paris, France.Shania had a show here, and Tang En came to accompany her.

"I want to surprise you, do you like it?"

Tang En opened his arms, waiting for his wife to rush in.

But Shania didn't do this, she just tilted her head and looked at her husband carefully. "I'm thinking how many days you can last this time..."

These words made Tang En blush.The last time Tang En said that he would resign and would not come back again, and that he would be with Shania at ease, but he regretted it every month. After receiving a call from London, his heart started to move again.

"This time I'm retiring!" Tang En raised his right hand and swore, "I have nothing to do with football at all."

Shania just laughed, she was not a stupid woman who would believe anything a man explained.

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Tang En had no choice but to mutter "Let time prove all this" and give up.

Shania saw that he was in a low mood, so she went to snuggle into his arms: "You resigned again, what will George think?" The last time he resigned as the coach of Nottingham Forest, Wood fought a cold war with him for a long time. Shania is clear about one thing.

"Don't worry this time." Tang En patted Shania's back lightly, "I've communicated with him a long time ago."

George Wood received a call from Piers Bruce, asking him about "inside information" about Dunn's retirement.

"He said he wanted to rest." Wood's answer was as concise as ever.

"It's that simple?" Bruce couldn't believe his ears, how could such an important matter be decided so easily?
"Ah."

"How could this be...wait!" Bruce reacted, "When he told you, you didn't keep him?"

"I have, but it's useless." Wood was honest and didn't lie.

Bruce pondered for a while: "George, can you tell me the situation at that time in detail?"

"This..." Wood was a little hesitant, because he was not sure whether he should tell the media about that matter. Tang En didn't agree, but he didn't disagree either.

Bruce retreated: "If he won't let you speak out, then forget it, I won't make it difficult for you, George."

"No, he didn't say that..." Wood shook his head.

He thought about a month ago, on the eve of England's preparation to leave for Australia, Dunn suddenly called Wood to his hotel room, saying that he had something important to tell him.

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this matter before such an important event, but I believe in your psychological quality, and I'm afraid there will be many other things that will interfere with it, making it impossible for you and me to sit down and have a good talk like today " Tang En said straight to the point, "My contract expires after the World Cup, and I don't plan to renew it. You know that, right?"

Wood nodded.Not only he knew it, but all England knew it.After the Confederations Cup, England returned with honor.The media all speculated that the Football Association should offer Tang En a new contract, after all, there is only one year left before the World Cup.However, the FA didn't do that at the time. Instead, they said that they would wait until the World Cup was over and then decide whether to renew the contract with Twain based on the results in the World Cup. There was a lot of distrust in Twain's words.

Although Tang En did not lose his temper publicly, he lost trust in the FA because of that incident.He couldn't find a cooperative relationship between him and the Football Association. He knew that the two sides only had a relationship of mutual use-Barclay wanted to use his achievements in leading the team to consolidate his position, but he was unwilling to do it for him. His possible future failures will pay the bill.But Twain was only interested in the annual salary of 400 million pounds per year.

That being the case, it is better to stop thinking about the Football Association as soon as possible.So after entering the World Cup finals through the play-offs, Twain issued a statement, claiming that he would not renew his contract with the FA. Regardless of the team's record in the World Cup, he would leave his current position after the tournament.

At that time, the England team barely won tickets to the finals, and the public was actually not optimistic that England could achieve any good results in the World Cup, so they had no objection to Twain's statement.In their view, Twain was looking for a step down for himself in advance. In case the England team performed poorly in the final round - in their minds, this possibility is still very big - he can also leave It's more decent, at least not being kicked off the stage...

Seeing Wood nodding, Tang En said again: "However, this time, it is not a simple stepping down from the position of head coach of the England team, but a complete departure. Retirement, I have decided to retire."

Wood raised his head and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

"I'm not joking, George. I'm telling you because I don't want to hurt you again." Dunn was referring to the time he left without saying goodbye.

"Why retire?" Wood asked.

"In order to give my wife more time. I have been too tired and busy in the past few years, and I have not cared about Shania at all." The head coach of the England team may be the busiest head coach in the world, and in the paparazzi In the highly developed UK, there is almost no private life at all. Tang En's words are not exaggerated and hypocritical. "I'll be 50 next September. How much time can I spend with her?" Wood has an unusual relationship with him, so it's only possible for Twain to say such heartfelt words to him. The way of maintaining his image, he is not very open to people.

This sentence made Wood fall silent.He is facing the same problem as Tang En, his mother's health is getting worse and worse, why has he never had a girlfriend?It is because for him, maybe there is not much time for him to be with his mother.

Because of the same mood, Wood has no position to keep him.

"So it's because of this..." Bruce pondered after listening to Wood's story.

Tony Twain really deserved to be a controversial figure. Even if he led the England team to the world championship, his popularity was unparalleled for a while. His decision to retire still caused quite a bit of controversy. Not every fan understood his decision.If it is because of this reason, then I am afraid no one will complain anymore, right?
"I see, George. Thank you."

Bruce thanked Wood and hung up, and Wood wondered if he was doing the right thing in telling a reporter.

But he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought.If there is a problem, it is Tang En who should be troubled, not him.Who told Tang En to leave him again?

※ ※ ※

"After the show in Paris, do you have any plans?" Tang En asked his wife who was snuggling in his arms.

"I have a vacation." Shania heard the meaning of Tang En's words, "Do you have any arrangements, Uncle Tony?"

Tang En was silent for a while, as if he had made a big decision.He looked at Shania again and said, "Let's go to China to adopt a child."

This decision was really beyond Shania's expectations. She broke free from Tang En's arms and looked at her husband in surprise.As if I heard wrong.

"I'm sorry that I can't get you pregnant..." Tang En's tone was full of apology and guilt.Since he was reborn and traveled through time, he has been living a pretty good life. He is proud of his career and married a supermodel wife who is 21 years younger than him in life.But this was the only thing that made him very depressed.I don't know if it's the sequelae of time-traveling, maybe it's God's punishment for him to have a good career and love, or it's retribution for making too many enemies... He seems to have lost his fertility.

Shania covered Tang En's mouth with her hand to stop him from blaming himself: "The person I fell in love with was Uncle Tony, not a stallion. It doesn't matter if you don't have children, I love you, Uncle Tony." She Some worried that Tang En would think that there would be a crack in the relationship between the couple because of his physical defects, and she had to reassure Tang En.

Tang En, whose mouth was covered by Shania, was speechless. He could only stare into his wife's eyes, and Shania also stared at him. The two of them didn't say anything, but there was a tacit understanding in their hearts. Slowly float.

Tang En opened his mouth and bit Shania's hand lightly. Shania frowned and slapped Tang En lightly, then retracted her hand.

"Let's go to China to adopt a child." Tang En repeated his plan.

Shania did not express any objection.Since her husband wanted a child so much, how could she still object?Although she doesn't know why her husband is going to China to adopt a child.

Of course she wouldn't know. Tang En wanted to make up for his regrets - he couldn't be a Chinese in this life, and it would be nice to have a Chinese child.

"When are you leaving? I'll be fine the day after tomorrow. Do I need to apply for adoption in China?"

Tang En shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and have a look first. If you don't find a suitable one, don't adopt it." Tang En is very cautious about finding a child.

Shania watched Tang En's eyes roll. If Tang En decided to adopt a child, would he and herself still need to have frequent sex?Sex is also a part of love. To be honest, Shania really likes the feeling of lingering on the bed with Uncle Tony.Uncle Tony, who is almost 50 years old, is actually not old at all when he is in bed.

Tang En seemed to see what was on her mind, and suddenly picked up Shania by the waist, and then threw her on the bed beside her.Shania screamed in fright, but her lips were blocked immediately...

※ ※ ※

When Tang Jing received a call from Tang En, she was still a little surprised.Because Tang En rarely called her.If there is anything to look for, it is Tang, not her.

After Tang En told Tang Jing on the phone that he wanted to adopt a child in China, what materials he needed to prepare, and what qualifications the adopter should have, she was even more surprised.

Although he agreed without hesitation, he still didn't recover until he hung up the phone.Tang En and Shania have been married for so many years and have no children, which has long made people suspicious. There are rumors that Tang En is barren.So Tang Jing was not surprised by this, but that they would want to go to China to adopt their children.

Seeing that his wife was a little disturbed after answering the phone, Tang hurriedly greeted her with concern.Unexpectedly, it was Tang En's business.His wife didn't understand why Tang En went to China to find orphans to take in, but Tang knew the inside story.It's a pity that this kind of inside story cannot be told to Tang Jing.He couldn't tell his wife, "Your husband and Tang En exchanged souls. In fact, Tang En is a Chinese, so he wants to adopt a Chinese child."

At the moment, he just said: "Don't Tang En like China very much? Maybe he also has a soft spot for Chinese children?"

This explanation makes sense, besides, how can others be so elusive about other people's preferences?

Tang Jing was just a little surprised, and didn't take it to heart.On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic and called back to China to consult relevant information for Tang En.

※ ※ ※

Two days later, Tang En and Shania returned to the UK, looking for documents issued by the relevant British authorities to prove their age, occupation, marriage, health, property, and whether they had received criminal punishment, and contacted the British embassy and Chinese embassy for Prepared for adoption procedures.

In Britain, where the media is highly developed, how could their actions have been concealed from the noses of the paparazzi?
From a series of relevant materials prepared by Tang En, the media speculated that he was going to adopt a child. There have always been rumors that Tang En and his wife have been married for many years but have no children. Now this news is not surprising.

In China, it may be a shame for a man to be infertile, but it may not be the case in the UK.It is also very common for infertile couples to adopt orphans. Even fertile families will adopt children from other countries.

A reporter stopped Tang En outside the Chinese embassy, ​​and the question was not about adopting a child, but—"When you were at the peak of your career, you chose to retreat bravely. What is your reason?"

Being blocked by the reporters, Tang En was not angry. Instead, he showed his visa to China with great interest: "My wife and I are fighting to form a new family. This is what I will do now and in the future !"
