Chapter 1028 Juan Yakumo, Light Wind, Uncrowned King (Continue to ask for monthly tickets and rewards~)

The media is full of news about Tang En's return to win big, and no one is tired of it.There's no denying that, whether it's his likes or his haters - he can't be ignored.

Putting all the praiseworthy words invented since human beings have writing on Tang En, this is what the media reporters like to do most these days.Tang En's popularity is booming now, only by saying good things about him can he attract more readers and viewers.

In contrast to it is another thing.After entering December, the British royal family issued an announcement announcing the list of people who will be honored by the Queen on January [-] next year.Tony Twain's name was impressively listed.

There are two honorary days in the UK every year, one at the beginning of each year on January [-], and one on the Queen's birthday.In order to commend those who have made outstanding contributions to the UK in various fields such as culture, sports, economy, etc., the Order of Knights is awarded.Many people in the football world have been awarded honors, which is not a very remarkable thing.

But surrounding Tang En, there has always been controversy about whether he should accept the honor.In fact, after Twain led Nottingham Forest to win the Triple Crown, someone suggested that Tony Twain should be awarded an honor in recognition of his outstanding contribution.One must know that the Scottish old man Ferguson was awarded the Knight's Order by the Queen after leading Manchester United to win the Triple Crown. As the most successful coach in England, how could Twain not be awarded the Order?
However, this proposal was opposed by many people at the time.The reason for the opposition is absurd-the opponents think that the Triple Crown is not enough for Tang En to be awarded the Knight's Order.In fact, this was simply an excuse. Ferguson was also awarded the Knight's Medal after leading the team to win the Triple Crown. Why didn't he achieve enough when he came to Twain?In fact, the real reason is not that Tang En's achievements are not worthy of the award, but because of dislike of his character and his stinky mouth. Many people think that it would be a shame to award the Knight Medal to such an outspoken person. detrimental to the state...

This statement sounds inexplicable, but it was supported by many people at the time.Even the then sports minister and the prime minister himself.This shows how unpopular Tony Twain is in this country.

Fortunately, Tang En himself was not interested in awarding honors. He never sang the national anthem while leading the national team, so what was an award worth?So the debate surrounding his eligibility to accept the title of "Jazz" continued, but he himself turned a deaf ear.After being awarded the Knight's Order and the title of Jazz, he can't make more money, and he can't completely recover from his heart disease overnight. There is such a false reputation, and there is no such thing.

Later, he led the England team to win the first European Cup in the history of the country, and the matter of the award was once again brought up by the media.The supporters think that the champion who makes history is always eligible for Twain to be honored, right?No, the opponents did not say that his achievements were too low this time, but directly said that Tang En's speech and behavior did not conform to the code of conduct of a British Empire knight.Didn't Tony Twain despise authority?Then we naturally don't need to award him the medal of authority...

The opposition was still strong, and Tang En himself didn't fight for it, so this matter became a mess again.

But Tang En's supporters were not reconciled.They even set up a group calling for honors for Tang En, called "Knights of Tang En", which appeared before the public from time to time, shouting for Tang En to be awarded honors.

After the 2018 World Cup, things finally turned around.

"If a person leads the club to win almost all the championships that club teams can win, and then leads the national team to win all the highest honors at the national team level, if he can't be awarded a knighthood by the Queen, then this must be a part of the British Empire. Big scandal!" The one who said this was not a certain media, but a member of the British Parliament.

These words opened the prelude to the third call for action to honor Tang En.

Three European Champions Cups, three Premier League Championship Trophies, one English League Cup, one FA Cup, two Community Shield Champions Trophies, two European Super Cups, one World Club Cup, one European Cup, one Confederation Cup, a World Cup.

The Notting Evening Post even published a special issue, which published photos of all the honors Twain received, and then questioned those who opposed him: "If these honors and contributions do not allow Tony Twain to be knighted title, how many people in the UK do you think are eligible to be honored?"

The Times also published an editorial pointing out that in today's British society, the value of honorary honors is getting lower and lower, and the gold content is getting lower and lower. The only use left is honor incentives. After a large number of entrustments every year, even the most basic intentions are becoming increasingly rare.Some people can even get a knighthood after donating a large amount of money to the government. If such a person wins a knighthood or a knighthood, it can only reduce the prestige of the British royal family and eventually become penniless.Under such a background, some people who have really made outstanding contributions to the government and the country cannot be awarded honors due to various reasons. This is really a great irony and sadness.

Although Tang En's name was not mentioned throughout the editorial, any fool could tell that they were on Tang En's side.Because this year, if you want to talk about outstanding contributions, Tang En will definitely not be able to escape.After he led the team to win the World Cup in Australia, it not only greatly inspired the confidence of the British people, but also greatly enhanced the reputation of the UK, and even stimulated the economic development of the UK.Such an achievement, but even being awarded an honor is subject to controversy, which really makes people feel inexplicable.

Some people even wrote letters to the queen, imploring her to honor Tang En.

It was thanks to the efforts of these people that Twain's name appeared on the list of honor recipients, and it is said that the Queen personally made the decision.

But Tang En didn't mean to appreciate it...

※ ※ ※

As early as the first proposal to be awarded an honor was rejected, Tang En knew that there were many people in the top management of this country who didn't like him.But he never liked this country.As a traditional Chinese mainlander who "dwells" in the body of the British, he is not interested in such things as awarding honors, nor has he ever thought about earnestly fighting for this right for himself.

The refusal of the second award further strengthened Tang En's disdain for the royal family and his contempt for this so-called honorary lord.In the last century, maybe this lord was still a bit attractive, but now it has become that any cat or dog can be awarded a honor, so why do I need to be shy and force myself to get up?Tang En has never been a person who likes to join in the fun.

This is the third time... His supporters have finally put him on the honor list, but he has no interest in this kind of farce.

"Do I have to call you Uncle Jazz from now on?" Shania teased her husband with the list published in the newspaper.

Tang En shrugged and gave her an unexpected answer: "You won't have such an opportunity, dear."

"Huh?" Shania didn't understand what her husband meant.

"I intend to refuse the honor."

"Ah..." Shania opened her mouth in surprise.

"Isn't this surprising?" Tang En was amused by Shania's reaction. "There are more than 300 people who have refused the Queen's honor in history, and I am just one of them."

"I just don't know why." Shania pouted.

"If I had been awarded a knighthood for the first time, maybe I would have been happy to go to the Queen to accept it as an honor like a championship trophy. But now my mentality is different. Now this medal To me, it's not an honor, but a charity. I don't want it." Tang En pointed to the list in Shania's hand and said disdainfully.

Shania laughed seeing Tang En's appearance.She is not British, and naturally she will not look at this issue from the perspective of British national honor.Anyway, in the final analysis, it is just a "Jazz" title. Since my husband said no, then let's not.

"Anyway, it's your medal, it's up to you." Shania threw away the newspaper, leaned forward and wrapped her hands around Tang En's neck, looked at him with affection in her eyes, and then pressed her body against Tang En's neck. En's chest lightly rubbed. "Honey, I want to..."

When Pierce Bruce received the so-called "open letter" email from Dunn, he was shocked.Then he immediately called Tang En.

"Tony, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Tang En seemed to have not woken up yet, and asked a question from his nose.

"I'm talking about the refusal to award an honor... What on earth do you think?" Bruce held the "Open Letter" that had just been printed out in his hand, shaking as he spoke, making a clattering sound.

"What do you think? I'm not interested in this kind of bad street knight medal, it's as simple as that, Pierce." Tang En turned over and got up from the bed. He turned his head to look at his wife who was still sleeping on the bed, and covered her with the quilt. He walked out in his pajamas.

The early morning in December was very cold. When he walked out on the terrace, the cold wind blowing in his face made Tang En sleepless.

"Rotten street? Tony... Don't you know the meaning of awarding honors?" Bruce felt that it must be because Tang En hadn't woken up and said nonsense.

"Twenty years ago, it might have made sense, Pierce. But now, it really doesn't make sense. The owner of a chain fast food restaurant can be awarded a knighthood. I think in a few years, even a newborn baby can be booked, right? Every year There are two thousand places, how many people in the UK have not been awarded this thing? Besides... I am very grateful for the efforts you have made so that I can be awarded. However, this kind of charity I don’t want the honor of taste. I’m not a person who can’t live without the knighthood and knight title? You said that I have won so many championships, do you still care about a little knight title?”

"Uh..." Bruce was left speechless by Tang En's retorted question.He knew that Tang En was a rebellious person, and this hadn't changed as he got older, but he didn't expect that Tang En's rebelliousness would be used on the British royal family...

"Don't you think it's a pity, Tony..." Bruce still asked unwillingly.

"What's the pity? At most, it's just being called 'Sir Twain'. I don't think those who didn't respect me before would respect me just because I changed my title. I don't think those who liked me before either People don't like me because I didn't become a jazz. I'm still me, I'm Tony Twain." Dunn looked at the east, and a round of morning sun was rising. The fog rises and rolls in the forest, like a fairyland.

Speaking of this, what else can Bruce say?Tang En was right, he was him, he was Tony Twain, so no one could change the decision he made.Even if he wants to go against the whole world, all you can do is choose to side with him or go against him.

"You must make the royal family feel very embarrassed..." Bruce muttered.

"This is the result I want, haha!" Tang En put one hand on his hip and laughed loudly. "Some people have tried everything possible to not want me to be knighted. Now they see this as a charity and a favor for me. I will tell them: To hell with your self-righteous pride!"

Putting down the phone, Bruce looked at the open letter in his hand and sighed.He remembered a past event.

Before Twain, Nottingham Forest had the same controversial head coach, Brian Clough. Although he led the Forest team to two Champions Cups and achieved remarkable achievements, he was also not awarded a knighthood by the royal family.There are rumors that Clough himself rejected the invitation of the royal family for honors, and some people say that the government was not used to the rebellious old man at that time.But in any case, when Clough died, when people proposed to honor him again, it was dismissed because the order of honors did not allow knighthood and honor to be awarded to a dead person.In this way, Clough missed the award representing the highest honor among British civilians.

And 15 years later, Tony Twain, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, also refused the royal family's honor. Was it God's will?

Thinking further, nearly 1000 years ago, there appeared on this land a rebellious and despised grand-rogue. free.

Maybe this place is dedicated to such characters...

Whether it's Robin Hood, Clough, or Twain now, they are all "Grand Thieves" who disobey discipline, dare to challenge authority, and advocate freedom.

No matter what the outside world thinks of them, the dense Sherwood Forest will always live their legend.They are the heroes here.

A day later, this open letter written by Tang En himself was sent to the "Nottingham Evening Post" and immediately caused a sensation.

In the letter, Tang En thanked the British royal family and those friends who had campaigned for him to be awarded the honor, but he made it clear that he would reject the award.As for the reason for the refusal, he didn't say that the gold content and authority of today's Lord of Honor are getting lower and lower, although even children know this.His reason is much more powerful than this.

"...I know that there are quite a few people who don't want me to be decorated. They don't think I deserve it. I don't want to comment on it. I just want to say that I didn't want to get any knighthood in the first place-you have Has anyone seen me say a word for myself in previous debates? No, because I don’t want it at all. Are those who opposed me disappointed now? Of course I want to thank those who called for me Friends, but I don't want to go against my truest thoughts - I don't want to be called 'Sir Dunn', and I don't want to sacrifice myself to look like a handout beggar to satisfy others. I That's me, I'm Tony Twain. Compared with a small knightly medal, I have a better reward - 15 years of coaching career, [-] championship trophies. I don't need to rely on the honorary medal to show myself The value and the honour. In the face of all this, everyone will agree that I am the best football coach in England... no, the best football coach in England and the world.

Based on the above reasons, I refuse to award the honor. "

Although many people had rejected the British royal family's honors for various reasons, it was the first time for someone as arrogant as Tang En.In this letter, his proclamation was loud and resonant throughout the UK.

Once again, people saw his wildness.

The Sun later commented:

"...After his comeback, he faced many doubts from the media. He didn't open his mouth to fight back. After losing the first game, he didn't slap those who laughed at him. These make us think that the 50-year-old Tony . Dunn is already old, he has lost his sharpest teeth and claws, and is docile like a cat.

But we were wrong.He just didn't meet an opponent worthy of his own shot.

Now, the British royal family, this opponent's name is loud enough, and he is qualified enough to be his opponent.So we met the familiar Tony Twain again, that guy who habitually goes against the world. "

"Genius is always different from ordinary people." Lineker said this when talking about this matter with Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson on a TV show. "I admit that the current Lord of Honor's appeal to the public is decreasing year by year, but there are still many people who hope to receive such an award every year, and the quota of 2000 people is still not enough. Under such circumstances, Tang En gave up this award. Honor's approach is incomprehensible. But he cannot be understood with ordinary people's thinking. After this incident, the most relevant comments I heard were "why", "why did he refuse" and "why did he write Then a wildly arrogant open letter "Why did he refuse in such a high-profile way"... a lot of "why". In my opinion, it is very stupid to ask Tang En "why". He never needs a reason for doing things, if If I have to find a reason, then I can only say that he is in a bad mood, or that he is in a great mood..."

"Nottingham Evening Post" even gave Tang En the title of "Uncrowned King": "...Although I feel sorry for not being able to call Tang En 'Sir Tang En', I would like to say to Tang En himself The same: 15 years of coaching career, [-] championship trophies in important competitions, Tang En no longer needs to use a knight medal to recognize the glory he has achieved. He is a well-deserved 'uncrowned king'!"

※ ※ ※

PS, although Twain did not become a jazz, it is a bit regrettable.But for someone with Tang En's personality, it might be wrong if he accepted the award honestly.Unconventional people naturally have unconventional behavior and temper.The most individual and successful head coach in England history told those mortals a truth with his practical actions:
I am me, I am Tony Twain.

He doesn't need anyone's acknowledgment and any kind of proof because he has already proven himself

Ordinary people are still clinging to that kind of false name, but he has already stepped over the mountain of those false names.This is the temperament that a king who has experienced storms and rainbows should have.I am very happy that the character Tony Twain has become more and more plump and real in my writing.
