Chapter 30: The Uncrowned King

There is news in the media about Don En's return to victory, and no one is tired of it. No one can deny this, no one who likes him or hates him - he cannot be ignored.

Putting all the praises invented since humans have written to Tang En is one of the things that media reporters like to do these days. Now Tang En is very popular, and only by saying his good words can he attract more readers and audiences.

Another thing that complements it is another thing. After December, the British royal family issued an announcement, which announced the list of people who will receive the Queen's medal on January 1 next year. Tony Don't's name is on the list.

There are two awards in the UK every year, once on January 1st of the year, and once on the Queen's birthday. In order to commend people who have made outstanding contributions to the UK in various fields such as culture, sports and economy, the Knights Medal was awarded. Many people in the football industry have been awarded medals, which is not a great thing.

But around Don Eun, there has been a controversy over whether he should accept the award. In fact, after Don Eun led Nottingham Forest to win the Triple Crown, someone suggested that Tony Don Eun should be awarded a medal in recognition of his outstanding contributions. You should know that the old Scottish man Ferguson was awarded the Cavaliers by the Queen after leading Manchester United to win the Triple Crown. As the most successful person among the local coaches in England, how could Don Eun not be awarded the award?

However, this proposal was opposed by many people at that time. The reason for opposition was ridiculous - opponents believed that the Triple Crown was not enough to allow Tang En to be awarded the Knight Medal. In fact, this was an excuse. Ferguson also led the team to win the Triple Crown and was awarded the Knight Medal. Why did he not achieve enough when he came to Tang En? In fact, the real reason was not that Tang En's achievements were not qualified to be awarded, but because of his annoyance to his character and his stinky mouth. Many people think that if the Knight Medal was awarded such an unspoken person, it would be a detriment to the national health...

This sounds inexplicable, but it received support from many people at that time. Even the Sports Minister and the Prime Minister himself at that time. This shows how poor Tony Tangen's popularity in this country is.

Fortunately, Tang En himself was not interested in awarding medals. He never sang the national anthem to lead the national team. What is a merit award? So the debate over whether he is qualified to accept the title of "jazz" continues, but he himself turned a deaf ear. After being awarded the Knight Medal and the title of "jazz", he could not make him earn more money, nor could he fully recover from his heart disease overnight. The kind of false reputation is there, and there is no one.

Later, he led the England team to win the first European Cup championship in national history, and the award was brought up by the media again. Supporters believe that the champion who created history is always qualified to be awarded a medal, right? No, opponents do not say that his achievements are too low this time. And directly say that Don't speak of Don't his words and actions do not conform to the code of conduct of a British Empire Jazz. Didn't Tony Don't despise authority? Then we naturally do not need to award the medal of authoritativeness to him...

The opposition is still strong, and Tang En himself has not fought for it, so this matter is ruined again.

But the supporters of Tang Endi were not willing to give up. They even formed a group that called "Tang En's Knights", which appeared in public from time to time, waving the flag and shouting for Tang En's award.

Until the 2018 World Cup, things finally took a turn for the better.

"If a person leads the club to win the championship that almost all clubs can win, and then leads the national team to win the highest honor at all national team levels. If he cannot be awarded the Cavaliers Medal by the Queen, then this must be a major scandal in the British Empire!" The person who said this was not a certain media, but a member of the British Parliament.

This sentence kicked off the third call for the award of Don En.

Three European Champions Leagues, three Premier League Champions League trophys, one English League Cup. One FA Cup, two Community Shield Championship Champions League award plates, two European Super Cups, one World Club Cup. One European Cup, one Federation Cup, and one World Cup.

The Notting Evening Post even published a special issue, publishing photos of all the honors that Done received, and then questioned those opponents: "If these honors and contributions cannot be given the title of jazz by Tony Done, how many people do you think in the UK are qualified to be awarded the title of honor?"

The Times also published an editorial pointing out that in today's British society, Lords of Honor are becoming increasingly depreciated and their gold content is getting lower and lower.   The only use of Lords of Honor is left. With the large number of enfeoffments every year, even this most basic purpose is becoming rarer.    Some people can get the Knights' Medal after donating a large sum of money to the government. Such people can only reduce the prestige of the British royal family and end up being penniless.   In this context, some people who have made outstanding contributions to the government and the country cannot be awarded titles for one reason or another. This is really a great irony and sadness.

Although the editorial did not mention Tang En's name throughout the editorial. But even fools can see that they are on Tang En's side. Because of this year, if you want to make outstanding contributions, Tang En will definitely not be able to escape Tang En. After he led the team to win the World Cup in Australia, it not only greatly encouraged the confidence of the British people, but also greatly enhanced the reputation of the UK and even stimulated the economic development of the UK. This kind of achievement has caused controversy even when awarded medals are controversial.

Someone even wrote to the Queen, begging her to award a medal to Don En.

It was precisely because of these people's efforts that Tang En's name appeared on the list of awardees, and it was said that the Queen himself made the decision.

But Tang En had no intention of understanding...

As early as after the first proposal for awarding a medal was rejected, Tang En knew that many people at the top of this country did not like him. But he had never liked this country. As a traditional Chinese mainlander who "living" in the body of the British, he was not interested in awarding a medal, nor did he think about fighting for this right for himself very enthusiastic.

The second time the award was rejected, it further strengthened Tang En's disdain for the royal family and his contempt for the so-called honorary Lord. Last century. Perhaps this Lord was a little attractive. Now he has become a random cat and dog who can be awarded a medal. So why should he be forced to go up with a shy face? Tang En has never been a person who likes to join in the fun.

This is the third time... his supporters finally pushed him on the list of awards, but he was bored with this farce.

"Do I have to call you Uncle Jazz in the future?" Shania teased her husband with the list published in the newspaper.

Tang En shrugged and gave her an unexpected answer: "You won't have such a chance, my dear."

"Huh?" Xianya didn't understand what her husband meant.

"I plan to refuse to award a medal."

"Ah..." Shania opened her mouth, surprised.

"This is not a surprise thing, right?" Tang En was amused by Shania's reaction. "More than 300 people in history have rejected the Queen's award. I am just one of them."

"I just don't know why." Shania pouted.

"If I were awarded the Knights Medal when I was awarded the first medal, maybe I would be happy to accept it in front of the queen and treat it as an honor like a championship trophy. But now my mentality is different. Now this medal is not an honor, but a gift for me. I don't want it." Tang En pointed to the list in Shania's hand and said disdainfully.

Shania smiled at Tang En's look. She is not a British person, so she naturally will not look at this issue from the perspective of British national honor. Anyway, it is just a "jazz" title after all. Since her husband said no, then don't.

"Anyway, it's the medal you give you, you'll do whatever you want." Xianya threw away the newspaper. She put her hands on Tang Endi's neck, looked at him affectionately, then pressed her body on, rubbing her gently on Tang En's chest. "Dear, I want..."

When Pierce Bruce received an email from Don En to him from the so-called "open letter", he was shocked. Then he immediately called Don En.

"Tony, what do you think?"

"Hmm?" Tang En seemed to have not woken up yet, and asked a question from his nose.

"I mean the matter of refusing to award merits... what do you think?" Bruce held the "open letter" that had just been printed in his hand, shaking as he spoke. A clatter sound was made.

"What do you think? I'm not interested in such a bad street Knight's medal. It's that simple, Pierce." Tang En turned over and got up from the bed. He turned his head to look at his wife who was still sleeping in the bed, covered her with a quilt, and walked out in his pajamas.

It was very cold in the early morning of December. When I walked to the terrace, the cold wind blew towards me made Tang En completely sleepy.

"The street is bad? Tony... don't you know the meaning of awarding a medal?" Bruce felt that this must be because Tang En was not awake yet and said nonsense.

"It might have been meaningful twenty years ago. Pierce. But now, it really doesn't make sense. The owners of chain fast food restaurants can be awarded the Knight Medal. I think in a few years, I'm afraid even babies in the newborn place can be booked? There are 2,000 places a year. How many people in the UK have not been awarded this thing? Besides... I am very grateful for your efforts to make me awarded me. But I don't want this kind of honor with the taste of alms. Isn't I a person who can't live without the Knight Medal and the Jazz title? Do you say that I have won so many championships, but still care about a little jazz title?"

"Uh..." Bruce was speechless when Tang En asked back. He knew that Tang En was a rebellious person, and this did not change with his age. But he did not expect that Tang En's rebelliousness would be used on the British royal family...

"Don't you feel sorry for it? Tony..." Bruce asked unwillingly.

"What a pity? At most, it is called 'Sir Tang'. I don't think those who did not respect me before would respect me just because I changed my title. I don't think those who used to like me didn't like me because I didn't become a jazz. I am still me, I am Tony Tang. "Tang En looked into the east, and a rising sun was rising slowly, and the sky and horizon of the east were red. The white mist rose and rolled in the forest. It was like a fairyland.

Speaking of this, what else can Bruce say? Done is right, he is him, he is Tony Done, so no one can change the decision he makes. Even if he wants to go against the whole world, all you can do is choose to stand on the side of him or go against him.

"You will definitely make the royal family feel embarrassed..." Bruce muttered.

"This is the result, haha!" Tang En put his hands on his hips. He laughed loudly. "Some people tried every means not to make me a jazz. Now they regard this as a gift and apology to me. I want to tell them: Let your self-righteous pride go to hell!"

Putting down the phone, Bruce looked at the open letter in his hand and sighed. He remembered a past event.

Before Donn, Nottingham Forest, although Brian Clauve led the Forest to win two championship cups and achieved remarkable achievements, he was not awarded the title of the royal family. There are rumors that Clauve himself rejected the invitation to award the royal family, and some say that the government was dissatisfied with the rebellious old man at that time. But no matter what. When Clauve passed away, people once again proposed to award him a medal, but gave up because the rules of awarding the Knights and the Lord of Honor were not allowed to be awarded to a dead person. In this way, Clauve missed the highest honor and award among British civilians.

Fifteen years later, Tony Tangen, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, also refused the royal family's award. Is it God's will?

Thinking about it further. Nearly a thousand years ago, a rebellious and despised authority appeared on this land. He led his friends to oppose the nobles and men at that time. He robbed the rich and helped the poor, and the Wushan Forest was so free.

Maybe this place is dedicated to such characters...

Whether it is Robin Hood, Claufe, or Tang En, they are all "chief thieves" who are disobedient and dare to challenge authority and advocate freedom.

No matter how the outside world views them, the dense Sherwood Forest will always be filled with their legendary stories. They are the heroes here.

A day later, the open letter written by Don En personally was sent to the Nottingham Evening Post, and immediately caused a sensation.

In the letter, Don En thanked the British royal family and those who were calling for the award for his own merits, but he clearly stated that he would refuse this award. As for the reasons for refusing, he did not say that the value and authority of the Lord of Honor are getting lower and lower, although this is something that even children know. His reason is much more exciting than this.

"...I know that many people don't want me to be awarded. They think I'm not worthy, and I don't want to express my opinion. I just want to say that I didn't want to get a Knight medal from the beginning - have you seen me say something to myself in previous arguments? No, because I don't want it at all. Are you disappointed by those who oppose me? Of course, I have to thank those friends who have called for me, but I don't want to go against my truest thoughts - I don't want to be called

For "Sir Done". I am not willing to sacrifice myself. Let myself look like a beggar who has been given a gift to satisfy others. I am me. I am Tony Done. Compared to a small Knight medal, I have a better reward - fifteen years of coaching career and sixteen championship trophys. I don't need to rely on Lords of Honor to show my value and glory. In front of these things, everyone will agree that I am England... No, the best football coach in the UK and even the world.

Based on the above reasons, I refuse to award medals.”

Although many people have rejected the British royal family's awards for various reasons, this is the first time that he is as arrogant as Tang En. His declaration in this letter was loud and he has caused a huge response throughout Britain.

People once again saw his unrulyness.

The Sun then commented:

"... After his comeback, he did not fight back. After losing the first game, he did not slap those who laughed at him. All of these made us think that the fifty-year-old Tony Don is old, he lost his sharpest teeth and claws, and he was docile like a cat.

But we were wrong. He just didn't meet an opponent worthy of his own attack.

Now, the British royal family has a very famous opponent and is qualified to be his opponent. So we meet the familiar Tony Donn, the guy who is used to being right with the world."

"Genius is always different from ordinary people." Leinker, Alan Hansen, Mark Laurenson said this when talking about this on the TV show. "I admit that the Lord of Honor's appeal to the public is declining year by year, but every year there are still many people who want to get such a reward. The quota of two thousand people still seems a bit insufficient. In this case, it is incomprehensible to Tang En's practice of giving up this honor. But it cannot be used for him.

The most common people's thinking is to understand.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The Nottingham Evening Post even gave Tang En the title of "King Uncrowned": "... Although I regret that I can't call Tang En the "King Uncrowned", I just said to Tang En himself: 15 years of coaching career and 16 important championship trophys, Tang En no longer needs to use a Knights medal to commend the glory he has achieved. He is the well-deserved "King Uncrowned"!"
