Chapter 241 Red Forest Clover II?

This was the second time Tang En attended a funeral after arriving in England.But compared to the first time, Tang En didn't feel sad.The boss always makes him feel very complicated, like?Respect?Some dissatisfaction... intertwined, so he couldn't have tears on his face like the leader's family.
This was indeed a private funeral, very, very private. Apart from Clough's family, the only "outsider" was Tang En.Wearing a black suit and sunglasses, he stood behind them with his head bowed, and silently attended the funeral.
Except for a few words of reassurance when he first met Lady Barbara - though she didn't seem to need it very much - he didn't say a word during the whole funeral service, and the ceremony program didn't arrange for him to make any speeches. .
Others...Ian Bowyer, Des Walker, Stuart Pierce, Martin O'Neill, Trevor Francisco... None of these people were invited, but he was invited to meet the boss The latest descendant.Tang En wanted to attend this very private funeral by himself, could it be the boss's intention?
After the funeral, a group of people silently walked out of the cemetery behind the church. Tang En didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent.Not far ahead is everyone's car, and it seems that the funeral is coming to an end.Tang En thought it was time for him to rush back to Nottingham to join the team.At this moment, Ms. Barbara in front stopped in her tracks, then turned to look at Tang En.
Tang En knew that she had something to say to him, so he also stopped.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Tang En, I still asked you to come at this time." Barbara said with her head lowered.
Tang En quickly waved his hand: "No, I think I should come. It is my honor that you can invite me."
"Actually... Brian didn't say who could attend his funeral. He was always in a coma in the last few days. After discussing with the children, I decided to hold a private funeral. Brian didn't like the media before, and he still doesn't. I don't like it, so we don't want to be bothered by people we don't know. And you, Mr. Twain...you know about Brian's interview after Arsenal drew with the Forest team, right?"
Dunn nodded.
After Forest and Arsenal drew, Arsenal set a new unbeaten streak.The media interviewed Brian Clough for this purpose, hoping to hear his views on Arsenal's new record.Facing these media, Clough satisfies them very well. He praised Arsenal's football as wonderful as seeing Marilyn Monroe in his dream, "If anyone can break that record, then it must be It's Wenger's Arsenal".
Then he talked about Chelsea's new coach Mourinho, who is also not weak in the limelight recently. He called the Portuguese his heir. resemblance.When he was a coach, Clough was a very eye-catching head coach. He was always able to attract the attention of the media. He expressed his opinions unscrupulously, with a flamboyant personality, and often said things that would be regarded as classics in the future. "Quotes".And these characteristics, the current Mourinho also has.
So the media began to call Mourinho "Second Clough", but ignored the comparison between Tony Twain and Brian Clough.
Clough also didn't mention Tony Twain in the interview.
——Who is my favorite coach?Wenger of course, he is my idol.
——Who is the coach most like me?Of course it was Mourinho because he was as handsome as I was when I was young.
"But do you know who he mentioned the most at home?"
Tang En shook his head.
"It's you, Mr. Tang En." Ms. Barbara pointed to Tang En. "He always told us about your Forest team. When you beat Manchester City, he was excited like a young man in front of the TV... Can you imagine, Mr. Dunn, an old man raised his fists from the sofa Like jumping up?"
Tang En continued to shake his head, he really couldn't imagine it.When playing against Manchester City, the boss's health should not be very good...
Lady Barbara smiled, but the smile faded quickly. "He's always telling us about you, so the kids and I feel like we've known you for a long time."
Tang En himself was surprised by what Barbara said: "I don't know the boss... Uh, he never talks about these things with me."
"You have to know, Mr. Tang En. Brian is such a person. Sometimes you think he is arrogant and extreme, but in fact he is just hiding himself. He seldom praises this person in front of a person. So it always makes people feel that he is a little indifferent. I don't think Brian will have the chance to say this to you, thank you, Mr. Tang En, you made Brian's last two years very enjoyable."
After Ms. Barbara bid farewell to Tang En, she left by car.Tang En stood alone outside the church, slowly recalling what he had just heard.
He still clearly remembers the first time he met Brian Clough, that aggressive old man couldn't answer his questions the first time he met.
"Boy, what do you think a head coach does?"
"Leading the team to victory..."
"That's just part of the job."
The sound of a car horn woke Dunn up. He saw the reporter Pierce Bruce sitting in the jeep and looking at him.
"Why are you here, Mr. Reporter?" Tang En was a little surprised.
"Uh..." Bruce scratched his head, "Although Mrs. Clough said that the funeral is private, you know we as a public want to know something...but I didn't see anything." He shrugged, "I almost I searched all the churches in Middlesbrough before I found this place. Seeing you here, I knew I was in the right place, but obviously I was late."
"No, you didn't come late, on the contrary, you came at the right time." Tang En shook his head and said, "Because I just needed a car to take me back to Nottingham."
Pierce smiled: "Get in the car, Mr. Coach."
On the way back to Nottingham from Middlesbrough, the radio in the car was almost always talking about the news of Brian Clough's death, and the honors he had achieved at Nottingham Forest were also brought up again.
"He's one of the best coaches in England!" Bruce said to Dunn while driving, his tone very affirmative. "But in the list of the best coaches in the UK, he can only be ranked eighth! Ramsey is only on top of him because he led England to a World Cup championship. But in the eyes of Nottingham people, he is the best. Good manager, better than Paisley! It's a pity... that he retired prematurely because of alcoholism."
Bruce sighed.
"Tony, you should drink less wine too..."
"Hmm..." Tang En looked out of the window and replied absent-mindedly.The radio has turned into a big discussion on who is Brian Clough's successor. Many listeners said that Mourinho, the Portuguese, was obviously influenced by the media, and some people thought that Tony Twain was the only one. yes.
But Tang En himself was not interested in this kind of debate. He didn't want to be someone's heir or someone's second.If Mourinho is willing, let him do it, I will be Tang En I!

"Brian Clough, who just passed away, said in his last interview with us that Chelsea coach Mourinho was the person most like him. But let's not forget that before Mourinho came to England , who is the coach like Clough that we talk about the most? Tony Twain! For Tomorrow's Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea at home, the contest between the two Clough successors. Let's listen to Coach Tony Twain How do you see it?"
The gate of the city stadium appeared on the TV screen. The originally deserted place has been surrounded by flowers and candles, and the railing of the iron gate is covered with red Forest team scarves.Many fans mourned silently in the square in front of the gate. They came to present a bouquet of flowers, and then hung up the scarves they had worn for an unknown number of years.
This is the scene in front of the city stadium in the afternoon.Then, Tang En appeared in the TV camera, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, obviously just returned from the funeral in Middlesbrough.
"...I think it is very inappropriate to discuss who is the successor of the boss at this time. But I know that your media likes to do such inappropriate things, so I am used to it. You ask me what I think about this issue ? I think it's pretty good. Mourinho is Clough's successor. There is no doubt that I think so too." Tang En in the picture did not forget to satirize the reporter he could not understand at this time, " I have a lot of respect for the boss, and because of that, I don't want people to say that I am his heir or something. And I firmly believe that the boss will not want me to be the second him. Of course, if Mourinho is happy If this is the title, then you might as well call him 'Clough II' instead of 'Mourinho' in the future?"
Tang En's words were not friendly to Mourinho.
