champion godfather

Chapter 901 Volume [-] The Heart of the Lion King Calls from London
After England was eliminated, you can also comfort yourself: "We were eliminated by the champion!"

The host Brazil finally clinked glasses at their own gate, and Kaka can be regarded as fulfilling a World Cup dream-like Ronaldo before, he was only a marginal figure in the Brazil team when he won the World Cup for the first time.And this time, with his own efforts, as the core of the Brazilian team, he finally led the team to win the championship. For him, this championship is more valuable.

If you have to ask him what regrets he has in this World Cup, he will most likely choose George Wood, who has not won the best form.This made him feel that the gold content of the championship trophy was not enough...

Just before the World Cup was over, the England team had already heard news of a coaching change.

The contract between Capello and the English Football Association expired after the World Cup. In addition, England's performance in this World Cup is not satisfactory. The Football Association will not take the initiative to renew his contract.So after the expiration, Capello ended his work in England, returned to Italy, and officially announced his retirement.

Next, the Football Association will start the selection of a new head coach.

The media drew up a list of possible candidates.This list has not been officially recognized, but was fabricated by the media based on their experience.

Tony Twain, who had just resigned, was impressively listed, but he was the least likely.The reason is very simple. When he was the head coach of Nottingham Forest, he caused troubles for the FA. In the hearts of the FA officials, Tony Twain was a thorn in the side who was difficult to discipline.Another reason is that Manchester United and Twain are rumored to be in contact in private, and the two parties may have reached a preliminary agreement.

Mortensen, who finished his World Cup commentary work, also asked about this matter, mainly asking whether Manchester United really invited Twain to coach.Tang En nodded. He had indeed received a call from the top management of Manchester United, but he refused.He doesn't want to grab Martin O'Neill's job, and just as he told Allen, he still can't accept the fact that he is an opponent of the Forest team and the Forest team.

"What about the England team?"

Tang En shrugged: "The Football Association has never looked for me, don't stop the shortlist in the media, it's all made up by them."

Mortensen laughed: "Well, why don't you come to work on our BBC5 channel, explain the game or open a special program. With your eloquence and influence, you don't have to worry about the ratings at all."

Tang En declined Mortensen's kind invitation: "I just want to be with my wife."

Mortensen is not convinced: "Come on, I know you can't live without football."

Tang En touched his nose and asked curiously, "Why?"

"It's very simple. I can't imagine what else you can do without football..." Mortensen pouted. "Work is over, let's go relax?"

"I have to reunite with my wife." Tang En smiled apologetically.

"You..." Mortensen pointed at Tang En and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it!"

Tang En did not return to the UK with the people from the BBC, but left directly from Sao Paulo and returned to Rio de Janeiro to continue to accompany his wife.

Although he still cared a little about Mortensen's words, after being separated from Shania for more than 20 days, he wished he could fly directly to his wife with his wings.

Tony Twain who returned to Shania's side seemed to be more passionate than before the World Cup.This made Shania a little surprised, and then she just regarded it as "Xiao Bie Sheng is newly married".

Only Tang En knew that he was going to refute Mortensen's words with practical actions, and deny that thought that was scrambling in his heart...

This mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles is worth 500 million US dollars, and it is the joint property of Shania and Tony Twain.When Tony Twain and Shania decided to buy it a few years ago, when the financial turmoil was raging around the world, the 500 million US dollars was 450 million less than its original price. Even so, it was still very expensive...

Tang En didn't want to live in such a mansion. He didn't have the habit of hiring nanny and servants, so no matter how big the house was, he and Shania were the only ones, and occasionally used it to entertain friends from both parties.However, the only reason Tang En willingly bought this mansion was not that it was big enough, but because it was backed by the Pacific Ocean.

Standing on the balcony of your own home, you can enjoy the magnificent sea, and you also have a private beach. It is not wrong to spend 500 million yuan in such an environment.

Dunn likes this open environment, especially the sea.As a person who was born inland, he had never really seen the sea once in his previous life.So in this life, he wants to make up for this regret.

Another advantage of this house is that it is very close to the mansion of old friends Beckham and his wife in Beverly Hills, and it takes less than 15 minutes to walk there.It can be counted as a neighbor.

Tonight, Dunn and Shania will host a banquet here for the Beckhams, Tom Cruise, and other Hollywood stars.

It was their second day in Hollywood from Brazil.

Shania, who was tired from the journey, was still lying in bed, and Tang En had already finished her morning exercises on the beach behind the house.He sat directly on the beach, letting the sea water wash over his body, looking at the sea in a daze.

The ocean that had slept all night was gently rippling in front of him, bringing a little fishy smell.He sniffed greedily.

It feels good not to have to wake up in the morning and think about how to command today's game.

Tang En thought so in his heart.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and Tang En was startled when he looked back.Shania came out wearing three o'clock underwear, still a little sleepy.She is holding something in her hand.

"It's so noisy, I can't sleep at all...I've called this number five times..." Shania handed the things in her hands to Tang En, then sat down beside him with her mouth pouted, and leaned her head against Tang En on the shoulders.

"Go back quickly, don't catch a cold." Tang En pushed her, then looked at the unresponsive phone. "Isn't this here yet?"

"It's so hot, it's so cool here." Shania coquettishly. "I promise there will be another one in less than five minutes."

As soon as the words were finished, the cell phone in Tang En's hand rang.

"Look!" Shania made a face at Tang En, and continued to nap on his shoulder.

"Hello, I'm Tony Twain." Tang En found that the phone number was unfamiliar and had never been recorded in his phone book. "But I don't care who you are, do you know what time it is in Los Angeles? Seven o'clock in the morning!" He was upset that the damn call disturbed his wife's dream.Since it is a stranger, there is no need to be polite.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang En. I didn't know you were in Los Angeles. I thought you were in Brazil." The caller was a man with a deep and hoarse voice. Although he was apologizing, he was neither humble nor overbearing. "I'm Sean Barclay. I believe you must know who I am?" The voice laughed.

The name Twain is not unfamiliar, because this is the current executive officer of the Football Association of England.Tang En's anger instantly subsided by half, because this person's call was too unexpected.What did he call himself for?
"That's right, Mr. Tang En. I have a plan here, and I don't know if you will be interested."

Tang En rolled his eyes, and he already guessed why Barclay called him.But he didn't say it, but quietly waited for the other party to say it.As a successful coach, he must have this reserve.But in his mind, the answer was already very clear.

"You know, Capello's contract with us has expired."

"Yes."

"We are now looking for the next manager of the England team. I think you will be the most suitable one."

Tang En pretended to be surprised: "Why? I think I should be far away from this position." Although the surprise was feigned, it was true.Dunn knew what his impression was from the FA. Did the FA find such a disobedient head coach to manage the England team?At least before this phone call, he felt suspended.

The number one figure in English football laughed: "Champion. Aren't the twelve championship trophies you won with the Forest team enough to prove your qualifications?"

Tang En snickered in his heart.This Mr. Barclay had not spoken of himself in such a tone before.

Not long after Sean Barclay took office, he was once asked about Tony Twain's evaluation at a party. He rubbed his temples and replied with a painful expression: "If he can control his mouth, I will Thank goodness for that.”

Later, Tang En often criticized the FA for being unfair, so he often received fines from the FA.Barclay's mind will firmly remember his name.It is said that someone within the FA asked Barclay what his impression of Twain was, and he even showed his humor: "Are you talking about the name that is always written on the ticket?"

It can be seen that the head of the FA doesn't have a good impression of Tang En.

Although this Mr. Barclay had improved his attitude towards him for the first time today, Tang En didn't want to accept this kind of favor.He said: "But you know, the club and the national team are completely different in nature, Mr. Executive. Success in the club does not mean success in the national team..."

Barclay's old fox heard Tang En's overtones. He didn't show disappointment or any other emotions, but said calmly: "Don't refuse in a hurry, Mr. Tang En. You can think about it seriously. Both the people and myself I believe that the next head coach of the England team should be an Englishman."

Now that the other side gave him face, Tang En didn't have to make enemies everywhere for the forest team, and he didn't have to attract all the firepower to himself.So he also gave the other side face: "Okay, I will think about it."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and looked down at his wife who was still leaning on his shoulder.

"You didn't refuse outright." Shania's words made Tang En's heart skip a beat. He was about to defend himself, but Shania continued. "Don't worry about me, the key is what you want to do."

She rubbed her head against Tang En's shoulder.

Tang En gently stroked her hair: "I won't agree. It's just that I don't want to embarrass Mr. Barclay too much."

Shania burst out laughing: "When did 'Mad Tony' become so gentle?"

"Who got this nickname?" Tang En narrowed his eyes.

"Marca. They still hate you." Shania raised her head with a smile.

Tang En noticed that she was folding her arms, so he picked her up and walked into the house. "Be careful not to catch a cold." As for what Marca said, he didn't care.

Although Twain thought he had rejected the FA, the media in England didn't think so.When Barclay was interviewed by the English media, he personally admitted that the Football Association had contacted Tony Twain, which pushed Twain, who had disappeared from the media before, to the fore again.

Within a day, the English media began to frantically hype the news that Tony Twain might take over as coach of the England national team.

Tang En didn't change his mobile phone, so he received a call from Pierce Bruce.Bruce wanted to ask him if it was true.Tang En admitted that Barclay had called him, but he did not agree to be the head coach.This made Bruce a little disappointed - he didn't know how lonely he was until Tony Twain left that circle.

"Actually, I think you can seriously think about it, Tony..."

"why?"

"I think you should be a football coach...I can't imagine you not doing that."

This was the second time Dunn heard someone say that to him.

"Then didn't you see it now?" Tang En snorted, then hung up the phone in a hurry.

Why the fuck is everyone saying that?I just want to be with my wife...

The banquet in the evening was held as scheduled. Celebrities from all walks of life in Hollywood dressed themselves carefully, and brought their partners to the banquet.Shania's popularity in this circle was pretty good, and many of the people who came were big stars that Twain could only see in movies.

Reporters from the United States and the United Kingdom gathered outside the mansion, most of them were entertainment reporters, and some of them were sports reporters.The sports reporters obviously came to pay attention to Tony Twain.Beckham retired early...

For this banquet, Tang En and his wife specially invited a team to take charge of it. They don't have to worry about everything from the chef to serving the dishes.The two of them just need to entertain guests.

The banquet was very lively, but Tang En's mood was affected by the incident in the morning.During the day, the words "England national team manager" will always come to his mind and haunt him.

Seeing Tang En's preoccupation, Beckham stepped forward and joked, "What, Tony? Are you jealous seeing Shania become the protagonist?"

Tang En glanced at Shania, who was surrounded by everyone and was able to deal with it freely, and shook his head: "Why am I jealous of her..." Looking at his good friend in front of him, the only one among the many guests who shared the same language as him, he A sudden movement in my heart: Maybe I can ask David?
"You seem to be worried, what's the matter?" Before he could open his mouth, Beckham had already taken the initiative to care.

"I, uh...David. I got a call from the FA this morning."

"The FA?" Beckham asked back, but he wasn't surprised.

Dunn nodded.

The heartthrob on the opposite side laughed: "It's expected."

This time it was Tang En's turn to be puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"If I were an official of the Football Association, I would call you too, Tony. Now they are looking for a new coach all over the world, how could they miss you?"

"But I have decided to leave football and only be with Shania."

Beckham squinted at Tang En.

"You don't believe it?" Tang En asked back.

"Do you think anyone believes that, Tony?"

Tang En wanted to retort directly: "Why not?" But he suddenly remembered that Shania, Mortensen, and Bruce had all expressed varying degrees of doubts about his thoughts.And compared to the two outsiders, Mortensen and Bruce, the worst thing is that they don't even trust their wives who sleep with them every day. This is a serious problem.

"Tony, I don't doubt your feelings for Shania. But I also don't doubt your feelings for football. You were born for football, and I can't think of how you would live without football." Beckham Put your hand on Tang En's shoulder and speak to him very seriously.

"But I'm still alive and well." Tang En spread his hands.

Beckham narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"You don't believe it?"

Beckham patted him on the shoulder and withdrew his hand. "Okay, don't think about that, enjoy this night, I'll introduce you to some new friends..."

He dragged Tang En to the noisy crowd, where the lights were brightly lit, and an intoxicating night had just begun.
