Chapter 899 Traces of the Heart Wind of the Seven Lion Kings
The soap opera from last night was being replayed on TV, but no one watched it.The TVs in the bar were on just to create a little atmosphere, and business here was mediocre in the afternoon, especially after the end of the season.Burns leaned on the bar counter and wiped the row of glasses on the counter, while John and Bill gathered in a corner, drinking wine to pass the time.

"It's so boring without football...heh—" Bill stretched his waist and yawned, tears streaming down his face.

"You look like a drug addict, Bill. And you're so skinny... Ha!" someone teased him.

"To be addicted is also to be addicted to football!" Bill glared at the other party, and continued to lie on the table, scratching the glass with his nails. "The end of every season is the hardest time for me..." he moaned weakly.

"Fortunately, the World Cup will start soon. Does anyone have a ticket?" John asked next to him.

"I!"

"I have!"

"Full set!"

Everyone raised their hands.

John looked at them and laughed: "That's great, we can spend this summer together again! Haha!"

"Maybe we can meet Tony again." Someone said that suddenly, and everyone froze for a moment and agreed.

"That's right, he's also commentating games in Brazil!"

"Oh, it's contradictory now... I want to go to the scene, but I don't want to miss listening to Tony's commentary..."

A group of people chatted and chatted about Tang En.

At this moment, the image on the TV screen suddenly flashed, and then changed from a fierce gun battle on the streets of London to a news studio, where a male anchor wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting in danger.

"Now insert a piece of news we have recently received..."

Bill was lying on the table, looking around boredly, and happened to catch a glimpse of this change on the TV.He became interested and simply raised his head to see what the announcer was going to say.

The screen changed again, to a place he was very familiar with - the city stadium.

A reporter holding a microphone stood outside the gate of the city stadium, pointed to the building behind him and said to the camera: "Just now Nottingham Forest Club held a press conference. Club chairman Evan Dougherty announced at the press conference The contract extension negotiations between Nottingham Forest and Tony Twain have officially terminated. After the contract expires, Twain will no longer be the head coach of Nottingham Forest..."

Bill stood up abruptly, kicking the cock behind him and knocking over the beer glass on the table.Crashing, the people sitting next to him were startled, for fear that the wine would drip on their pants.

"Hey! Bill! What are you doing?"

"Did you drink too much?"

Bill didn't react to that, just stared at the TV with wide-eyed eyes and opened his mouth as if frightened.

John looked back at the TV. Except for one or two people who were still worried about their crotches, everyone else looked up at the TV.

The scene of the press conference just now is being replayed on the screen.

Evan Dalgety sat on the stage, facing many microphones, and said expressionlessly: "...We regret to announce this news. Since we did not reach an agreement on contract renewal with Mr. Tony Twain , the two sides decided to terminate the negotiation. After the contract expires, Tony Twain will no longer continue to serve as the head coach of Nottingham Forest. We thank him for all his contributions to the club in the past 11 years, and thank him for leading the team to win the Twelve trophies. We wish him the best of luck."

The bar suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the TV was very clear.Burns also stopped what he was doing and looked up at the TV screen.

The beer on the table dripped onto the crotches of the people who were still sitting, and got wet, but these people didn't realize it.

George Wood was walking with his mother in the sun in the garden outside when his cell phone rang.

It was the agent Wooks calling: "Good afternoon, George, what are you doing?"

"Take a walk with mother." Wood looked at his mother who was snuggling beside him.

"Well, it seems that you haven't watched TV. I have some news to tell you." Wux paused for a while before continuing, "Tony Twain has resigned."

What this meant didn't come to Wood at first, because the concept never crossed his mind.But then he came back to his senses and asked, "What?"

"In the news just now, the contract renewal negotiations between the Forest team and Twain failed, and the two parties did not renew the contract. So after June [-], he will no longer be your boss."

Wood stopped, and Sophia noticed his son's strangeness, and stopped to look at him.

Wood didn't speak any more, and hung up silently after listening to the call.

"George?" Sophia whispered. "What happened?"

Wood looked at his mother, hesitated before saying: "The boss left the forest team."

Sophia let out an "ah" in surprise, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes still wide open.

"Mr. Dunn..."

Wood nodded.Mom must find it incredible, but why does my heart feel empty?It seems that something very important has been lost...

The Premier League is over, and the Championship is naturally over.At this time, Tang did not stay in the UK, but flew back to his hometown in Sichuan with his fiancée. He wanted to tell his parents the most important decision in his life in person, and it was absolutely impossible to make a phone call.

Tang Jing rested her head on Tang's shoulder, admiring the green scenery of southern Sichuan along the way.The two of them were sitting on a long-distance bus from Chengdu to their hometown.As the head coach of a Championship team, Don is not as well known here as any normal guy in the car.

In his previous life, Tang never thought that he would get married one day, and with a Chinese woman at that.He felt that he had to thank one person for being able to have what he is today——Tony Twain, the former self, and the present him.Although Tony achieved success in his career, he gained family and love.He thinks it's a good deal, and he may have taken advantage of it...

So Tang decided to tell his parents about the news of his marriage with Tang Jing, and then go to visit Tang Jing's parents. He called Tang En and invited them to his and Tang Jing's wedding this summer—he didn't notify Tang in advance. Well, on the one hand, it was because Twain was very busy at that time, busy leading the team to sprint for the Triple Crown.On the other hand, he also wanted to surprise Tang En.

The happy couple, who are about to embark on a new life, don't know what's going on on the other side of the world at this time.But I'm sure they'll find out soon.

The Champions Cup was over long ago, Chen Jian didn't call Tang En, and he didn't hear from Tang En again.However, he felt that he already had a plan in his heart, especially when he saw the Forest team win the championship, his blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he couldn't help being a member of it.

He thinks he should dedicate himself to this team in the future.

But one day later, Mr. Xia kept pouring cold water on him.Let him not be blinded by impulse.Nottingham Forest is not what he can dream of now at all. Winning the Triple Crown will only make them more inclined to buy famous stars instead of cultivating players themselves.Chen Jian won't get any benefits from going to that kind of place. After sitting on the bench for several years, he finally realizes that he made a wrong choice and leaves sadly. This is his future.

He decided to pack up his things and go back to Sichuan, to be with his family, which might calm his wavering heart.

In the past few days, Mr. Xia kept calling Tang En's mobile phone, and all the feedback he got was "the user you dialed has turned off the phone".He was very annoyed and left Chen Jian alone to fly to England. He must catch Tang En and ask him face to face what his plan was.

Chen Jian returned to China alone.

When he was waiting for the flight at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with a big bag on his back, he suddenly received a call from a stranger.

"Hi, Chen Jian." Tang En's Chinese accent was a little strange, but it was not easy for a foreign devil to be able to speak Chinese so fluently, so the small difference in the accent was nothing.

This call was from Tang En.

"Where are you now?" Tang En was a little noisy on the phone, as if there was a radio.

"The airport, the airport in Amsterdam." Chen Jian replied.

"Ah, ready to go home? Can you tell me about your future plans?"

Chen Jian was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I think, I want to renew my contract with the club..."

Tang En gave a soft "ah" over there, but then said: "I suggest you don't do that."

Chen Jian was very surprised. Could it be that the other party was not the head coach of Nottingham Forest, Tony Twain?Otherwise, why doesn't he speak for the team?

"You haven't read the news these days, have you? You haven't paid much attention to Nottingham Forest, have you?" Tang En smiled. "I resigned."

Chen Jian's hands trembled in fright, and the phone almost fell to the ground.This thing is incredible... It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Tang En could guess how Chen Jian would react at this time.It was too sudden for me to leave the forest team, and the difference between leaving just after winning the championship was too big, which was indeed unacceptable to ordinary people.

"You know, Chen Jian. I was the one who decided to sign with you at the beginning, because I was optimistic about you. But who would have thought that it would become like this?" He was naturally referring to his departure from the Forest team. "I don't know who my successor will be, and I haven't recommended it to the club. So I don't know how the new coach treats you. I don't even know if the team will renew your contract. Yes. If I were here, I would definitely give you a contract, but it's a pity that you didn't sign it before, and you don't have to sign it now." Tang En said with a smile. "Your agent is right, Chen Jian. Clubs like Nottingham Forest are very utilitarian. They don't have the patience to let a young man grow up slowly, unless you show a very, very amazing talent from the beginning."

But I have no such talent.Chen Jian said in his heart.He is still very self-aware.

"Your ideal is to play professional football, so where to play? I don't think it's time for you to go to Nottingham Forest. Like your agent said, going to a small team will help you step by step. Bigger."

"You mean .

"I heard that there are teams in the Netherlands and Belgium that you are interested in. Although it is not the top European league, it can still train people."

This suggestion made Chen Jian a little discouraged. He finally mustered up the courage to face the new challenge in Nottingham Forest.

"Even if you renew your contract with the club, you will still be out on loan. You can't play for Forest without a work permit. If you don't play, your best time will be wasted. So my suggestion is to transfer to the right team. The team you are interested in can guarantee you the number of appearances, make sure you get exercise, while waiting for the call of the national team, gain experience and fame, and the number of times you play for the national team..."

Chen Jian interrupted Tang En: "If I don't plan to play for the forest team anymore, what do I care about the number of appearances for the national team, Mr. Tang En?"

"Good performance, what if other Premier League teams are interested in you? For example, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc... If you are not qualified to apply for a labor certification when people come to you, then what's the matter? What a pity?" Tang En explained with a smile.

Chen Jian thought about it in his mind, and always felt that it was a fantasy.However, he did not refute Tang En.

"In short, from your own point of view, Nottingham Forest is not suitable for you at present."

Chen Jian fell into deep thought. Everything he heard today was too shocking.Tony Twain actually resigned, and even called him to persuade him not to stay in the forest team... He even suspected that what he saw and heard a few days ago were all illusions and lies.

The world is crazy...

"I...uh, let me think about it again, Mr. Tang En."

Tang En smiled again: "You don't need to tell me that, I don't care about those things now... You can make your own decisions and be responsible for yourself. I'm just a suggestion, and I don't ask or order you. You Think about it slowly, anyway, there is still one year before the contract expires. The path you have decided for yourself, you go on your own."

After saying this, Tang En closed the line.

Chen Jian sat on a chair with his mobile phone in his hand, lost in thought.He was still chewing those words of Tang En in his heart.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, his future would undergo yet another earth-shaking change.Since he decided to leave school, leave the motherland, and leave his hometown to pursue his dream of professional football, the road under his feet has not been smooth.But he didn't regret it, and regretting was useless.He can only go on like this.

Chen Jian didn't think about it for too long this time. When the airport announcement reminded him that his flight was about to start boarding, he called his manager, Mr. Xia.

"Uncle Xia, there's no need to go to Mr. Tang En. I've made up my mind. If the Belgian or Eredivisie teams are interested in me, I should contact them. I have to get on the plane, so be it, Uncle Xia. I have something to do." Call me when I get there."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, got up and pulled up his carry-on suitcase and walked to the boarding gate.

A loud roar came from outside the window, which caught his attention.Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, under the blue sky, a plane just took off, and soon disappeared into the blue sky, leaving only a white trace.
