Chapter 1029 Men, You Shouldn't Let Ladies Go Home Alone

Regarding Tang En's refusal of the royal honor, the media will definitely continue to hype it up.But Tang En didn't have time to worry about it. The most intensive schedule had already begun. If he and the players wanted to have a happy Christmas holiday, then they couldn't lose too much during this period...

Since Twain took office, he has focused on defense and physical fitness the most.McAllister neglected physical fitness in summer preparations, obsessed with his rich and varied offensive routine drills.In order not to completely collapse in the second half of the league, Twain could only help him make up for the homework he hadn't done.This is also the reason why Twain insisted on playing the game in the simplest way - he really didn't have the time and energy to do those fancy things to please the audience.

Since Sophia's death, Tang En has been very concerned about Wood's mental state.Judging from the past few weeks, Wood did not sink because of his mother's death, and he never mentioned "retirement" again.

Perhaps a song by Shania played a role... Tang En thought so.

It's just that Wood worked harder, more seriously, and desperately in training than before.He was using this method to try to forget the pain of losing his mother, but Tang En could do nothing about it.Time is the best medicine to heal trauma. I believe that with the passage of time, he will eventually get out of that kind of emotion... Of course, the help of outsiders is indispensable for this.

"Hey, George." During the training break, Dunn called Wood over.

Wood thought that Dunn was going to tell him some arrangements for the game the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect him to invite himself to his house for dinner at night. "Ask Shania to cook for you... What's that expression on your face? She has practiced her skills now...Okay, I will cook by myself. In fact, Teresa missed her brother Wood, you have the heart Make a beautiful and lovely girl sad?"

Wood hesitated and nodded.

Tang En looked at Wood's leaving back and shook his head slightly.This is the only thing he can do for Wood.Thinking of locking himself in that dark, cold and lifeless home after the training, Tang En felt uncomfortable, as if it was not Wood's home, but a gloomy, dilapidated ghost castle full of ghost legends.

If it wasn't for Wood's refusal, he even planned to take Wood into his home and live with him.After all, there is still a little "popularity" in my own home.

※ ※ ※

"Okay guys. That's the end of today's training. Let me remind you again that the busiest days start the day after tomorrow. If you don't want to spend Christmas in the Championship next season, then give me your best." The first goal..." Tang En raised his right index finger, "It is to get out of the relegation zone first, and I am always hovering outside the relegation zone, which makes me feel a lot of psychological pressure. Let's stop here, let's disband."

The players left the training ground one after another.Tang En stopped Wood.

"Aren't you going with me?"

Wood pointed to his sweaty training clothes: "I'm going home to change and take a shower."

Tang En looked at him: "George, you really don't think about my suggestion anymore? Just move in and live with us."

Wood shook his head: "No. That's my home."

Tang En sighed helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you, we will wait for you at home. Besides, you can come anytime you want."

"Thank you." Wood didn't just turn around and leave, but said thank you, which surprised Dunn a little.He thought that based on his friendship with Wood and Wood's awkward temper, he would not be able to hear this "thank you".

It seems... a little mature.

Tang En pinched his chin and smacked his lips.

※ ※ ※

Teresa was very excited when she knew that Brother Wood was coming, and after hearing the news, she sat upright in the living room and waited.Tang En and Shania were busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner.

But after they had prepared all the dishes, Wood hadn't come yet.

"Just take a shower and change clothes, it won't take so long..." Tang En looked at his watch, it was already 08:30 in the evening, and the team's training ended before seven o'clock.

"Does George have a car?" Shania asked.

"No."

"He won't come over?"

Tang En was taken aback by his wife's thought: "Come from Wilford? Don't be kidding, dear. He is not a fool."

"Then there must be some trouble..." Shania murmured, resting her chin on one hand and looking up at the ceiling.

"What kind of trouble can he encounter? It's good that he doesn't cause trouble for others..." Tang En also muttered.But he didn't know what to do. Could it be that Wood saw his mother's photo when he came home, and suddenly didn't want to come, and decided to stay at home with his mother?This is quite possible... But he should also call himself to explain.

Just as the two of them were thinking wildly, the doorbell rang outside.

"Brother Wood!" Teresa yelled happily, jumped off the sofa, and went to open the door. Tang En and Shania exchanged glances, and it seemed that their guest had arrived.

"Brother Wood..." Teresa, who opened the courtyard door on tiptoe, looked at the two people at the door with a puzzled expression.

"Hello, Teresa." George Wood, who was wearing a suit, greeted Teresa who was standing at the door looking up at himself and the person behind him.

"Hello, Teresa." The man behind him waved to Teresa as well.

Tang En, who was still wearing an apron, and his assistant, Shania, came out of the house and was also surprised when they saw Wood standing outside the yard and... Vivian behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Tang En, Ms. Tang En." Vivien walked around in front of Wood and waved her hand to greet Tang En and his wife.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Tang En and Shania, Wood pointed to Vivienne who was standing beside him and said, "I didn't ask her to come, she insisted on coming."

"I wanted to go to George to have dinner with him. He said you invited him, so I followed. I hope I didn't disturb you." Vivienne said politely to the two hosts.

After seeing the performance of these two people, Tang En understood everything.So his face immediately changed an expression—he greeted both of them with a smile on his face: "Why bother us? We're too happy...you know, George never brings friends here Our family, especially..." He glanced at Wood, "female friends."

Shania also understood what was going on, and quickly welcomed her.She patted Teresa on the head: "Teresa, show Brother Wood and Sister Vivienne the way."

Teresa looked back at the two people step by step, and led them into the house.

Tang En and Shania intentionally fell behind.

"It was the nurse who took care of Sophia in the hospital until she died." Tang En said to Shania, "You should have seen her at the funeral."

"Well, she was still standing behind Wood at that time... When did they get together?" Shania also asked in a low voice.

Tang En grinned and laughed silently: "It seems that our wood has met a difficult character!"

"I think this is pretty good. The best way to forget a period of pain is to start a new relationship." Shania took Tang En's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Sister Sophia will be very happy too."

※ ※ ※

During the dinner, the focus of the topic focused on Vivienne, as if she was the one invited by Tang En's family, and Wood was just a foil.

Shania kept pulling Vivienne to talk, asking her about her work, her current situation, and asking when she and Wood developed enough to have dinner together...

Wood sat there, stuck like a log.

Vivienne seemed very natural and generous. Facing a legendary coach who had just caused a great controversy in the UK, and a Hollywood movie star and supermodel, she didn't feel nervous at all.This is a bit like her performance when she stopped Wood in the hospital.

Tang En didn't chat with Vivienne like his wife did, but only occasionally said a few words. At other times, he was observing Wood and Vivienne.He noticed that Vivienne always glanced at Wood intentionally or unintentionally, while Wood focused on eating his food without squinting.

It's really fun.

"As George's friend, he must have caused you a lot of headaches, right?" Tang En interrupted and asked.He knew that it was not easy to get along with George. He thought that only he and Shania could get along with Wood peacefully.Because outsiders don't know how they will offend Wood. He has a body as strong as a cow, but a heart as slender as a woman.

Speaking of this, Vivienne felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Wood who was indifferent beside her, and then said with a smile: "Actually... I gave George a headache..."

Both Dunn and Shania were taken aback.God!Is there anyone in this world who can give Wood a headache?

Looking at the surprised eyes of the two masters, Vivienne further explained: "I can feel that sometimes George is very angry with me, but he doesn't scold me or drive me away...but I think he must have a headache."

At this time, Wood, who had been silent by the side and looked like a wooden sculpture, also spoke: "She is right, I have a headache."

Tang En laughed, and then Shania laughed along with her husband.

Teresa looked at her parents curiously. Although she didn't understand what happened, her parents laughed, so let's laugh too...

At the dinner table, only Wood and Vivian were wondering why the Tang En family suddenly laughed.

Tang En managed to stop laughing, then looked at Wood and said, "George, George. I'm so happy, finally someone can control you again, haha!"

Vivian didn't understand why she made Wood feel angry, and she wouldn't be scolded.Tang En knew it very well, because Vivienne was the only one who accompanied Wood's mother through the last journey of her life. During the last two days of Sophia's coma, this young female nurse was always by her bedside.In Wood's view, this is a great favor.Of course he wouldn't swear at the benefactor who accompanied his mother and sent her off for the last time.

But Wood must not like Vivienne taking care of him, so he can only be helpless and have a headache.

Shania also understands the truth of this, so she is also laughing.People who can make Wood deflate can be counted with only two fingers in this world, and it just so happens that they are all at this table today.She turned to look at her husband, and found that he was looking at the two opposite people with playful eyes.

What did he see?
George's future?

Vivienne became a little embarrassed by Tang En's words, and Wood was even more embarrassed.

After dinner, Wood bid farewell.He didn't want to be taken as a joke by others.But Tang En didn't want to let him go.

"In two more weeks, it will be Christmas, George. Come to our house then. Shania is going to work again, you can't bear the two of Teresa and I to spend Christmas alone ?” Tang En was really good at making excuses.As soon as he used the lovely Teresa as his trump card, and then looked at Teresa's clear and bright eyes full of expectation, Wood swallowed his refusal again.

He nodded.

"Do you want to spend time with your parents, Miss Vivian?" Tang En turned to ask Vivian again.

"No... They have already booked a ticket to Barcelona. Taking advantage of Christmas to go on vacation, this is their plan since the beginning of the year." Vivienne shook her head.

"then you……"

"And I have to work overtime, so I can only stay in Nottingham." Vivian gave Tang En a smile.

"Then..." Tang En turned to Wood, looked at him and said, "Don't forget to bring Miss Vivian with you, George."

Wood looked up at Tang En who was smiling in surprise.

And Vivienne also looked at Dun En in surprise, but soon she turned her gaze to Wood, as if she was waiting for his answer.

Vivian was not the only one waiting for his answer.Both Dunn and Shania were looking at Wood, waiting for his answer.

Wood hesitated and nodded.

Tang En smiled, Shania smiled, and Vivian also lowered her head and smiled.

"Okay, then this is the end of today." The Dunn family sent Wood and Vivienne out of the yard.Then Tang En said to Wood: "Send Miss Vivienne home first, and then you go back."

Wood looked at him.

"Man, you shouldn't let a lady go home alone." Tang En put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"If you're concerned about getting home too late, I can allow you to be 15 minutes late for training tomorrow morning."

※ ※ ※

On the second day of the training session, Wood was not late. He was still the first in the team to come to the training base, the first to change into training uniforms, and the first to appear on the training ground.

Two days later, in the first game of the Christmas Devils schedule, Wood led the team to beat the visiting Wolves.Then news came from Paris, France that George Wood won the European Golden Globe Award for his outstanding performance in this year's national team competition.On the same day, Wood also won the World Football Best Player Award selected by the British World Football Magazine.In addition, this year's Lawrence Sports Awards for the best male athlete award is still waiting for him.

More than a week later, five days before Christmas, Wood and Twain flew to Vienna, the capital of Austria.In the golden hall, Wood took over the World Footballer's trophy from FIFA President Aston Villa.

Although the performance in the club team is not very good, but this year is the World Cup year, the selection criteria for major awards only look at large-scale events such as the World Cup.Twain's England team is a team that emphasizes the whole. As the core and captain of the whole team, Wood is naturally the key figure in the team's final victory in the World Cup. He deserves his title as the World Footballer of the Year without controversy.

At the awards ceremony, Wood seemed a bit dull, but his brief acceptance speech made Tang En, who was sitting below smiling and ready to applaud, get wet.

"All my honor belongs to my mother, and this one is no exception." He held up the gold cup in his hand. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Mr. Dunn."

This is the first time Wood has won such an honor, and his career has reached a peak.I hope his life will start a new journey from now on...

And Tony Twain won the best coach of the year once again by leading England to win the World Cup.This is nothing new. Tang En once appeared on this stage to accept awards when he led the team to win the first European Champions Cup, defend the European Champions, and win the Triple Crown.

This is the fourth time in his coaching career to accept the award.

"I hope you won't get bored." Tang En's first words made the audience burst into laughter. "Seeing my annoying face again is definitely not a pleasant thing. But it's okay, you can breathe a sigh of relief." When Tang En said this, he faced the officials of FIFA and UEFA, "I only do this one season, so I say goodbye to you in advance." He waved his hand. "It's a real farewell this time, and I won't be coming back. You can sleep well in the future, guys."

Then, amidst the stunned expressions of the senior officials, Tang En walked down slowly holding the trophy.He was greeted with a standing ovation from the entire audience.

Although there are many opponents who are his enemies, but off the court, facing a person with so many honors, this is a necessary respect.

No matter how much you hate him, hate him, those championship trophies will always remind you that you must face him squarely.

In the Golden Hall of Vienna, the top hall of classical music, Tony Twain, a hall of fame, has also stepped into the top hall of football. He has been respected by everyone including his opponents.Since then, no one dared to question his status.

※ ※ ※

PS, it's a pity that football doesn't have a Hall of Fame like the NBA, otherwise Twain would definitely be inducted into the Hall of Fame.Now I can only let him be crowned symbolically in the golden hall~~ But to get a standing ovation from everyone including the opponent, it must be very exciting to think about it, right?

He did offend a lot of people, but it was all for victory.In the face of championship results, these details are insignificant.His character may still be controversial in the future, but his achievements are beyond doubt.This is the reason why those colleagues will stand and applaud collectively-in the field of professional football, after all, results must be used to speak for themselves, and only the strong can win the respect of the world.

PS2, continue to ask for monthly tickets and rewards~~~~~~~~!
