champion godfather

Chapter 879
When Tony Twain returned to Nottingham with the FA Cup, everyone knew what his next goal was.It's this time, if you don't win the Triple Crown, you will be too sorry for the two previous champions.
Just like the league, after winning the championship, Twain gave the team a day off so that the players and coaches could relax.Then prepare to face the strong enemy.
Tony Twain, who won two championships, once again became the focus of the media's attention. The reporters were unwilling to give up every opportunity to approach him to interview him. Even if he was on vacation, there were still reporters who wanted to interview him.
Pierce Bruce is one of them.He has one more advantage over other reporters - he has Tang En's private mobile phone number, and he can contact Tang En anytime, anywhere, while other reporters do not have such a privilege.Twain still hates the media. Although he would not be the successful and arrogant person without the media, he just doesn't have a good face towards the media.Therefore, if other media want to interview Tony Twain alone, they can only submit an application through the club and wait for a reply.Usually their applications would not receive a positive response, that's why Twain was called "England's Most Difficult Head Coach to Interview" and was listed at the top of the "Least Popular Head Coach by Reporters" list.

Today Bruce planned to contact Dunn via his private mobile phone to make an appointment for an interview.
But since [-]:[-] in the morning, he made three calls in a row, and Tang En's cell phone was turned off.
Bruce shook his head in confusion. After thinking for a long time, he could only attribute the reason to the fact that Tang En must still be sleeping or flirting with his wife, so he didn't turn on the phone.
It seems that it is really difficult to interview this person...
※ ※ ※
Bruce thought that Tang En must be doing morning exercise with his wife.But in fact he was wrong.
At eight o'clock, Tang En drove the car out by himself.And Shania was still asleep on the bed after a night of passion.
Even if Shania woke up, Tang En would not take her with him.Where Tang En was going and what he was going to do, he didn't want to be disturbed by others, not even the most important wife in his life.In order not to disturb others, he even turned off his mobile phone.
The place he was going to was in the south of Nottingham, near Clifton, where there was a large dense forest like the north, and there was a church on a small hill, and behind the church was a cemetery hidden in the woods.
Gavin Bernard, George Wood's first fan, is buried here.
In fact, Tang En had been here not long ago.Although he is British, he has not forgotten some traditional Chinese customs in his bones.For example, he comes back here every Ching Ming Festival to visit Gavin's grave.Twain will definitely find time to come on this day. If the team has a game on Ching Ming Festival, he will come one day earlier or one day later.People around him didn't quite understand why he chose this time to see Gavin, because there is no such thing as Ching Ming Festival in the West.
When he came back more than a month later, Tang En brought Gavin two good news.
"League champion and FA Cup champion." Standing in front of Gavin's tombstone, Tang En said to him, "The outsiders are crazy with joy. Do you know how many years it has been since Nottingham Forest won the FA Cup champion? 55 Years, half a century. Hey, to be honest, I didn't think of such a question before the game. But when the reporters asked after the game, I realized that we haven't won the FA Cup for so long. Now it's alright, 55 years of grudges are over."
"Have you watched those two games? It was so difficult to win the league championship, I almost gave up... To be honest, I only say this to you, Gavin. No one else knows... I In the last 3 minutes, I really planned to give up, and I even thought about how to deal with those annoying reporters. Eat the table? I can eat the chocolate cake table, anyway, I didn’t say what kind of table it is! Ha!”
Tang En laughed triumphantly.
"Being the head coach is really tiring. I almost came here to accompany you. But I am a stubborn person. So many people want me to die, but I will not die. So I am still alive and continue to win championships for you. But..." Tang En thought for a while, "There is something that has been buried in my heart for almost a year, and I haven't told anyone, not even my wife. Now I decide to tell you, because I know you won't mess around Said... I will give them a big surprise then!"
Tang En turned his head and looked around. There was no one else in this small cemetery except himself.The wind in the forest passed through the cemetery, and the rustling sound of the leaves was the only sound here.
Tang En knelt down on one knee, holding the tombstone with his hands, as if he was stroking Gavin's little head.He lowered his head and moved his lips beside the tombstone, but no sound came out.
After finishing speaking, he stood up again with a smile on his face: "What do you think of this idea? I really look forward to seeing their surprised expressions then. But I have to say sorry to you... Forget it, anyway, you I will not be the chairman of Nottingham Forest Club. If you can, even if I am 98 years old, I will continue to sit in that position. Sometimes I look forward to that day, and I will think about it in my mind Feel excited."
Tang En tilted his head, as if he was imagining such a future.
"But..." He retracted his gaze and focused on the tombstone. "I can only think about it in my head."
"There is one last champion left." Tang En sighed, "I suddenly felt tired when I was about to reach the finish line. Do you feel this way, Gavin? When you arrive, your body is not right—you don’t want to run anymore, your legs are exhausted, you can’t breathe, and you seem to stop here. Tired.”
Tang En simply sat on the ground, facing the tombstone.
"I really don't want to run, but I can only talk to you here and complain. If I really fall before the finish line, I will commit suicide. No matter what the result of the next game is, at least the game I can't give up until it's over. You know what, Gavin? So many people are watching me, my players, my colleagues, my boss, my supporters, my opponents... countless eyes are on Staring at you from behind, you can't make a mistake, if you make a mistake your supporters will be disappointed, and your opponents will applaud. You must say why do I put myself against so many people No? Who told me that I have such a bad temper? Good old man... I really can't pretend, a personality like lukewarm water is not suitable for me. I am so extreme, either I die or they die... 45 years old, Still like a child."
"Cough, I'm actually not that old..." Tang En coughed, and he felt uncomfortable when he said his age. "Let me tell you another little secret. This secret is that the people closest to me don't know about it. I...um..." He looked up and looked around again, but there was still no one else. "I come from another time and space. In that time and space, I am not the manager of the Forest team. I am not even British. I am ordinary, and I don't know you. If I didn't come, you might You won't be lying here, will you?"
Tang En shook his head, "I won't talk about this anymore. If I talk too much, I will lose my fighting spirit."
While he was still sitting on the ground chatting with Gavin, a man turned in from the entrance of the cemetery.
※ ※ ※
George Wood bought a bouquet of flowers outside the church, and asked for a card, with it written crookedly: "To Gavin, your George."
Only "George" he wrote the best, and this is still done by autographing fans all day long.
When writing on the card, he remembered how Tang En laughed at him for his ugly handwriting.
"Look at the word you wrote, it's not even as good as a primary school student!"
Wood inserted the card into the bouquet, held it up and left the flower shop.
Until this time, the owner of the flower shop dared to ask himself in a low voice: "Is it really George Wood?"
When Wood walked through the door, he thought he was blind.
Wood didn't say much, picked a bouquet of lilies, asked for another card, paid the money, and left.The whole process from entering the store to leaving the store did not exceed 1 minute, and only two sentences were said:
"Please give me a bouquet of lilies and a card."
"Thank you."
Wood does not have the habit of wearing sunglasses to hide his identity when he goes out, but he will not take the initiative to expose himself.The florist didn't react at first, because he didn't expect George Wood to visit his small florist.He didn't realize it until Wood was gone.
"What is he doing here?" He frowned and muttered, unable to figure it out.
※ ※ ※
When Wood walked into the cemetery, he saw a person sitting in front of his destination, as if talking about something.
When he got closer, he realized that the person sitting on the ground turned out to be the leader.
Tang En also found Wood who was leaning over.Neither of them were surprised to see each other here.
Tang En stood up and gave way to Wood. Wood stepped forward and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, right next to the bouquet that Tang En placed earlier.
"Do you want me to give you some private space?" Tang En planned to leave first.
Wood shook his head: "No. I have nothing to say."
"You are so heartless, George." Dunn joked about Wood.
Unexpectedly, Wood replied to him instead: "I don't know what to say."
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "Let's go then, I'll drive you back."
Wood nodded.
The two glanced at Gavin Bernard's tombstone at the same time, turned and left.
"Aren't you going to buy a car, George? You're a big star, and a big star without a car would make people laugh."
"It's useless right now."
"You don't want much in life . . . and you're not planning on getting a girl? How old are you, George?"
"27."
"You're 27, you don't even look for girls, do you want others to say you're gay?"
"I love my mother."
Tang En turned his head and glanced at Wood, but said nothing.
The 27-year-old big star is still single. It is unbelievable to say it, but it is only natural and reasonable to put it on George Wood.It seems that there is only one woman in his life, and that is his mother.The Oedipus child could never imagine what it would be like to share his love with another woman.Even Tang En deeply believed that if a woman who was not his mother accompanied Wood one day, the scene must be very weird...
※ ※ ※
When sending Wood home, Dunn met Sophia.
Seeing Tang En, Sophia was also very happy.Her face was even a little red.She wanted to keep Tang En here for lunch, but Tang En declined because he had to go home to accompany his wife. Shania must have prepared lunch and was waiting for him.
Sophia was a little disappointed, but that look was quickly covered up.
Tang En didn't even enter the door.Every time he faced Sophia, he had complicated emotions.He knew Sophia's feelings for him, but he had a wife, and he didn't think it was suitable for him to be with Sophia.In order not to continue to give Sophia such delusions, sometimes he had to deliberately keep a distance.Of course this would make Sophia a little sad, but it was better than cheating on her, right?
When Sophia asked Tang En to stay for lunch, Wood stood beside him without saying a word.
Thinking of Wood's words, Tang En felt weird, and he didn't stop there, and said goodbye to the mother and son directly.
In his heart, he only hoped that Sophia and George could live happily.

Pierce Bruce made phone calls all day, but Dunn's cell phone was always turned off.He was confused, Tang En's cell phone was rarely turned off.Even if you want to call him at two or three o'clock in the morning, you will get through. Of course, there is no suspense if you get scolded by him before hanging up the phone.
He thought about many possibilities in his mind, and in the end, the more he thought about it, the worse he thought, and he didn't dare to think about it.
He didn't call Tang En until after nine o'clock in the evening.
When he heard the "beep-beep-beep" waiting to answer prompt instead of "the user you dialed has turned off" that reminded him, he almost felt the urge to burst into tears.
"I've been calling you all day, Tony!" Bruce yells excitedly over the phone.
"Do you want to pursue me? It's a pity that I don't like men, Mr. Reporter." Dunn joked about Bruce.
"I want to make an appointment with you for an exclusive interview. You are a big celebrity now. I'm afraid you will be robbed if it's too late..."
"I'm not a commodity...well, I promise you, but not now, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow...I will not accept any exclusive interviews until the Champions League final. I have rejected all the interview applications sent to the club. , you and I are no exception, although our friendship is not bad."
"Is it to prepare for the Champions League final with peace of mind?"
"That's natural. In fact, I did this to take advantage of you, Mr. Reporter. After I win the Champions Cup, it will be difficult for you to ask me for an exclusive interview." Tang En said solemnly on the phone.
Tang En was putting on airs, but Bruce didn't care, as long as Tang En agreed to accept an exclusive interview, that would be fine.
"That's good, I'm here to confirm this matter... Uh, I won't bother you..." Bruce hung up the phone in a hurry, because he heard Shania's laughter on the phone.
※ ※ ※
Shania couldn't help laughing when she saw Tang En putting on airs in a serious manner.
Tang En put down his phone and opened his hands to Shania.
Shania obediently leaned forward and snuggled into her husband's arms.
"Where do you want to go this summer, Shania?" Tang En asked, gently sniffing Shania's hair.
"Aren't you going to be very busy? The BBC will ask you to explain the World Cup in South Africa again? After the World Cup is over, the team will be training again." Shania asked strangely.
Tang En smiled a little: "Who can say what will happen in the future? Where do you want to go?"
Shania curled her body into Tang En's arms, closed her eyes to enjoy Tang En's caress, and murmured: "I can go anywhere, as long as I'm with Uncle Tony..."
Tang En stroked Shania's hair affectionately, without saying anything.
