Chapter 900 Volume Seven Lion Heart World Cup

When Tang and Tang Jing, who were far away in China, knew that Tang En had resigned from the Nottingham Forest Club, only one day had passed since the Forest Club announced the news. The developed network allowed them to know even in a remote town in southern Sichuan. What happened on the other side of the earth.
During this day, sports media all over the world reported this incident as a sensational news.
In Italy, the newscaster of Sky TV had a weird expression on his face when he reported the news. Obviously, he couldn't believe that the "Godfather of Nottingham Forest Champion" in his mouth would end his glory in the Forest team in this way. .
In Spain, the Spanish media, who were still accusing Nottingham Forest of "stealing" the Champions League by improper means, lost their voices collectively-they didn't know what to say when faced with this news.

A head coach who had just won the Triple Crown for the team suddenly resigned. I am afraid that this cannot be simply described as "very individual". How poor the vocabulary is.
In China, there was even a portal website dedicated to Tony Twain, and many people left messages.And China's CCTV Sports Channel also produced a 45-minute special program, comprehensively reviewing the ups and downs of Tony Twain's 11 years of coaching Nottingham Forest.
On the Internet, Nottingham Forest fans have long been stunned by the shock. Some people cried bitterly for Twain's departure on the forum, angrily denouncing the club's senior management for being ungrateful, hiding all the birds, and being cunning and dead... In order to show that they didn't follow the trend to like the Forest team because they liked Tony Twain, some people chose to stand with the club's top management, thinking that Twain left as soon as he left, and the world would go around without him. In addition, there were some rumors that Twain En was very dissatisfied with the annual salary offered by the club, and competed with Evan Dougherty for the same woman, so it was true that Tang En's character was not very good.
Fans of other teams expressed the most emotion is schadenfreude.For them, the most troublesome enemy finally got out, and the team they supported also regained hope of winning the championship.In addition, they are also very happy to see that the forest, which is usually arrogant and walks with its nostrils up to the sky, is now in a situation of internal strife against the fans.
In the UK, the news of Twain's resignation even overwhelmed the England team, which was preparing for the World Cup. As for the Triple Crown winner Nottingham Forest... it was even more pitiful. Can't find it.
Carl Spike obviously didn't expect that Twain would resolutely choose to leave the team at its most glorious time, which made him suddenly feel like he had lost the focus of his life - he would have no one to scold him in the future.How does his show stand out among so many football TV shows without swearing?
Later, in his special edition of BBC's Match of the Day, Lineker said: "I really don't know if it's good news or bad news. For some managers, this must be good news. Because their strong enemy has finally left. For others, this must be bad news, because the Premier League has since lost one of the most special landscapes..."
Many reporters and friends wanted to find the actor in the incident and listen to what he had to say, but whenever they called, they were always prompted to turn off the phone.This time, even Pierce Bruce, who has always been regarded as Tang En's queen reporter, did not get any first-hand information. As a result, he was scolded bloody by the editor of the newspaper. Feeling like a trainee reporter.So the storm intensified amid various rumors.
Until the end of the year, when the Associated Press selected the top ten sports news of the year, the news about Tony Twain's departure from Nottingham Forest was still ranked fourth, which shows how influential it was at that time.
One more example.When being interviewed by the reporters, Capello joked, "I should thank Tony Twain, he let you bother my team much less often."
……
When the storm blew everyone up and down, dizzy and at a loss, Tony Twain and his wife were enjoying all over Brazil. This time he really didn't touch football.You can see children performing ball skills or playing wild ball everywhere in Brazil, but as long as Shania is by his side, Twain can keep his eyes on him—just staring at his wife, as if in his whole world Just like wives.
Shania enjoyed this kind of treatment very much, so she didn't think about whether the sweet words that Tang En confessed to her many times along the way, "From now on, I will only accompany me until I grow old" are true, she doesn't care whether it is the truth or just A lie to make her happy.She just has to enjoy the time.
If it wasn't for the World Cup, Shania would like to play longer and crazier.In the 11 years since she met Uncle Tony, she had never been happier.Because she no longer has to worry about waking up one morning, Uncle Tony is gone, and then finds him lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital, leaving traces of tubes on his body. The doctor came close to writing "I'm sorry" directly on his face.
She often has such nightmares, especially when she is alone in the United States, she has very fierce dreams.Every time I was startled awake, and then gasped for breath in the dim light of the desk lamp, my whole body was already drenched in sweat.Shania used to sleep without turning on the light. Later, when Tang En got a heart attack, she developed the habit of sleeping with the light on, even when she was sleeping in Nottingham's arms with Uncle Tony. No exception.
This woman finally had a sense of security in her heart for the first time.Then she was content.
※ ※ ※
Good times are always short.Although this World Cup is being held in Brazil, Tang En can't always stick to Shania's side. If there is a game in Rio de Janeiro, Tang En can still stay with Shania every night and go to other cities, then it will be a big deal no solution anymore.It's a pity that only one of England's three group matches was played in Rio de Janeiro. If they want to continue to come back to enjoy the sunshine and bikini beauty of Copacabana Beach, they will have to reach the semi-finals in one breath.
When preparing for the World Cup, the English media finally remembered that they still had a team to participate in the World Cup, so they all predicted the team's prospects in the World Cup.It's no different from any previous one-"This is the best team in England's history, and it is the favorite to win the championship."
In the lobby of the hotel where he was staying, Dunn met his temporary colleague at the BBC, John Mortensen, for the first time, and this was the first time he had appeared in front of the media since that incident.
Mortensen looked at Twain with great interest, and only when he saw that he couldn't stand it anymore, he smiled and said, "It doesn't look like it's changed, it's the same as Tony Twain from before."
"Nonsense." Tang En was not polite, with a look of contempt. "You can see such a thing after looking at it for a long time?"
Mortensen's smile grew stronger: "Tony, Tony, you are really the number one monster in England's sports world..." He shook his head and patted Dun En on the shoulder. "When the whole world is crazy about you leaving the Forest team, you are traveling in Brazil with your wife. What can I say about you?"
"Then don't say anything, John." Dunn shrugged.The reaction of the media was within his expectations, and he was also very satisfied with the madness caused by him - even if I left that position, it would still make the world tremble three times!
"Maybe I should use my authority to conduct an exclusive interview with you..." Mortensen thought while pinching his chin.
"Don't think about it. The World Cup has begun. No one cares about how I am now. It's a pity, I'm already out of date." Tang En smiled and spread his hands, but he couldn't tell that he was sorry at all.
Mortensen snorted, "The paparazzi's nose is never out of date. They can smell something in you that attracts them. Then you'll have to face those reporters all day." He glanced sideways.
This is the news center of the World Cup. Media from all over the world will gather here to process the latest news from Brazil's various matches and training camps, and then send it back to China for presentation to TV viewers, newspaper readers and Internet users.
So this is also the base camp of the paparazzi, Tang En can really be regarded as "deep into the dragon's pond and tiger's den" this time.
He also noticed this, and there were already some reporters next to him with a gleam in their eyes when they saw him again. The gleam seemed to be something that burst out of the eyes of a vicious gangster when he saw a large box of gold.
Looking at these people, Tang En also snorted, and muttered a sentence in Chinese: "I'm afraid of hair! Soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them with earth!"
Hearing another sentence from him that he didn't understand what it meant but knew the language, Mortensen suddenly became interested in Tang En's language talent: "You speak Chinese so well, I heard that you are still in China There is a column in your sports newspaper, why no Chinese TV station came to you to explain the World Cup? Your eloquence is very good."
Hearing what he said, Tang En immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No way. I'm going to explain the game to them? They will replace me during the intermission."
Mortensen stared, as if he heard something very interesting: "Not free speech?"
Tang En continued to shake his head: "It's a cultural difference. Some words can be accepted by the British, but it doesn't mean that the whole world can accept them. It's like Europeans don't ask 'Have you eaten' when they meet, but the Chinese always use this to say hello. "
Mortensen clapped his hands, indicating that he understood. "It's like we always start our conversations with the weather."
Tang En didn't shake his head this time. He smiled and said another Chinese sentence: "Young children can be taught."
Mortensen didn't ask what this sentence meant. He patted Dunn on the shoulder with a smile and signaled them to leave.Work is about to begin.
The World Cup is about to start.
※ ※ ※
Brazil is a transition full of coquettishness, just like those hot girls who wear bikinis and go shopping on the street.When countries come here to report on the World Cup, they will choose to use this kind of customs as a breakthrough point.Tang En was not interested in these things, he and Shania had played them all before.
He seemed more dedicated than some of his other colleagues.It has been less than a month since he completely left football, and his life is full of football.And he discovered a very important problem - when he faced football again, his nuclear-powered heart was throbbing vigorously in his chest. He could clearly hear the beating of his heart.
That heart seemed to be silent when he was playing wildly with his wife, Tang En couldn't feel its existence.And now, it seems to be alive again.
This discovery surprised him like Columbus first discovered America, and at the same time there was a trace of trepidation in his heart.It was because he said that he would spend the rest of his life with Shania, but now he couldn't stand the temptation of his ex-lover, a fissure in his heart.
When he was explaining the game on the spot, he would be a little distracted when he heard the cheers and singing of the mountains and tsunami in the stands.The reviews are not so sharp anymore.Sometimes it will attract a suspicious look from his partner Mortensen.
In a trance, Tang En seemed to have returned to the small city stadium, standing on the sidelines, cheering for the team's goal with fists clenched.
He thought again of the big photo that had been hanging on the bedroom wall. He stood alone in front of the red sea of ​​people with open arms, as if he wanted to embrace the raging sea.He had been in Brazil for so long, and he didn't know how much dust that picture had collected.
Maybe... There are some things in my bones that can't be quit so easily...
Tang En sighed softly in his heart, feeling that he was really worthless.After only a few World Cup matches, the originally firm idea in my heart turned out to be a little unreliable.
Perhaps it was because of Brazil, a country full of charms, that their football made Twain feel hot.
Brazilian women are good-looking, and Brazilian football is even better...
In the end, England lost again at the feet of the Brazilians four years later.This time their results were worse than last time.Last time they were in the top four, this time they didn't even make it to the top eight.
In the sixteenth final, England unfortunately met the host Brazil.After the game, the English media complained that the Brazilian team took full advantage of the "host advantage", which is to accuse the referee of a problem in disguise.But the Brazilians don't care so much, how can the winner care about the complaints of the loser?
However, in Twain's view, the reason why England did not reach a higher level in this World Cup and made it to the finals was not because they met the hosts ahead of time, nor was it because Capello was getting old as some did not say.It's simple, but it's also incredible-George Wood's condition is not good.
After coaching Wood for ten years, this is the second time Twain has seen him in poor form. The first time was when Eastwood retired.
Mortensen was wondering why Wood was in a bad state, and Dunn was also wondering why.The media all over England are wondering.Dunn even wondered if something happened to Sophia.
Capello likes and trusts Wood, and he has the intention of letting him take over Gerrard's class.Unexpectedly, George Wood's performance in Capello's last World Cup was really disappointing, and he completely lost the domineering and fierceness he had in the club team.Facing Kaka of the Brazilian team, he was so teased that he could hardly find his way.Kaka also wondered why Wood, who has always been fierce, seemed to be a hypnotized sheep during the game. He ran after his ass several times but did nothing and let him go.If it was before, I am afraid that it would have been a back shovel. Although he received a yellow card, it can make the opponent feel fear and shock, and the next defense will be much easier.If you meet a ruthless character, then fight to the death with the other party and see who is more ruthless in the end.
Accustomed to this kind of George Wood, Kaka really can't adapt to the soft George Wood.So in the opening 20 minutes, the Brazilian core did not perform very well.At first, the reporters in England thought it was George Wood's credit, but then they realized something was wrong.By the time Kaka and Brazil react, England will be finished.
Wood is England's first line of defense, just like the human immune system.Now that the first line of defense has collapsed, even if England is a strong man weighing two hundred catties, he will fall when the wind blows.
At the end of the 10-minute game, there were tears in the eyes of the teammates around him, but George Wood's eyes were a little confused.On the big screen behind him, the score of the game was displayed: 0:3.
Known by the English media as the strongest England team in history, facing the third place in the last World Cup, their heads were shaved and they were completely defeated.
Dunn didn't care about England's failure, but some of the colleagues around him had already wiped away their tears.For them, the once-in-four-year dream has come true again.Tang En watched with cold eyes, but he was thinking in his heart that these people can still dream about life and death every four years, but how many years will it take for Chinese fans to dream about it once?Is it really like the 2002-year walk in 40?
Thinking of this, his cold eyes turned into a sneer.
You bastards who were born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed.
He didn't feel sad or cared about England's exit. What kept him brooding was the state of George Wood.Although he is no longer the head coach of Nottingham Forest, he still thinks of himself as a member of the forest in his subconscious mind. As the captain of Nottingham Forest, he is also a genius cultivated by himself, and his performance is so bad. His face There is no glory on it.
He is not in the state of commentary for the World Cup this time, and the frequency of witty remarks that are usually very popular is not high, which has something to do with Wood's absence.
But why Wood was out of form, Tang En didn't know at all.He didn't ask, because he was no longer someone from Wood, so there was no need to care about everything about this person.He just hoped that this bad state wasn't because of Sophia.
England was eliminated, but Twain's work was not finished. He was still responsible for partnering with Mortensen to commentate until the final.
After England was eliminated, the English media blamed two people for the loss, one was George Wood and the other was Capello.So the combative Tang En devoted himself to protecting these two people in his column. In fact, it was mainly Hurwood, but he didn't want to make this kind of thing too explicit. Scolded bloody.He doesn't make much sense and doesn't analyze the data. Anyway, everyone in the circle knows that even if Tony Twain is reasonable, what he talks about is irrational. People who are more rational don't quarrel with him, and neither do the people who quarrel with him. Fools, they have other plans.
After such arguing, the pressure on George Wood gradually lessened - Dun En is still protecting the calf.And Capello doesn't care, what kind of storm hasn't that old fox seen?Still need to decompress him?
Twain's only regret is that because of his poor performance in the World Cup, although George Wood won the Triple Crown, he is doomed to miss out on this year's European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year.
As a defensive midfielder, how precious is the opportunity to obtain these personal honors...
Thinking of this, Tang En gritted his teeth, feeling quite resentful.
Dog day George, why are you out of shape!
