Chapter 122: The Head (Part 2)

The boss died? How is this possible? In May, I was drinking and chatting together, so why did I die if I die?

He was awakened by the whistle, turned his head to look at the team that was still training, and walked over.

"David." He waved to his assistant coach.

Chris Lack ran over and said, "Tony, what did Mr. Chairman ask you for yours just now?"

Donn did not answer Chris Lark's question. He looked at his assistant and looked at the players who were still training without knowing anything, his eyes wandering.

Chris Lack realized that except for his partner's abnormality, he turned his head to look at Tang En's eyes, and everything was normal.

"Tony, what's wrong with you?"

"Well... David, you will arrange your training tomorrow, I won't come."

"What happened, Tony?" Chris Lack felt even more strange, and he asked.

"I'm going to a private funeral, I think I have to..."

"Funeral? Whose..."

"Boss, Boss'... funeral."

When he heard Donn say this, Chris Lack was also stunned.

Just an hour later, with the help of the developed Internet and TV news network, news of Coach Brian Clauve's death spread throughout the UK.

Pierce Bruce stood in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by fellow journalists like him. Derbyshire General Hospital had just finished the press conference, and the scene was a little confused. At the press conference, the spokesperson of Derbyshire General Hospital not only informed the cause of Clauve's death, but was praising the work of her hospital through the mouth of Mrs. Barbara. "She was very grateful to all the medical staff in the hospital for their performance in accompanying Clauve's last time..."

But these are not what journalists care about.

It is not news that Claufe's health has been in poor health recently. He had a liver transplant a year ago and was hospitalized many times, but no one expected that this time he would be a true farewell.

"...He was diagnosed with gastric cancer after a liver transplant. But he himself refused to undergo surgery. We don't know what Clauve thought. Until now, he is the most special person in English football. Many things he has done and many things he has said are difficult to understand. But his status here is beyond doubt. It's a pity that this special person has left us forever..."

The BBC reporter next to Bruce is holding a microphone and making live reports to the camera.

Is it a "special person"?

Come with Pierce Bruce, the top reporter of the newspaper, James Robson, patted him: "Let's go, there's nothing good to watch here."

"Where are we going?" asked Bruce.

"Go back to write a report."

"But we haven't interviewed anything valuable yet..."

"What other valuable things do you think you can interview? Not only us. The media in England are the same - go back and read the video of the Forests game, find out the news reports related to Crowe before, and then write the man's memoirs." Robson shrugged, "When he was not dead, he was just a guy who liked to show off. Now he is dead, he is still very popular... The only most valuable thing here is - Brian Crowe, the founder of the Nottingham Forest Dynasty, and a legend in English football. Many people like it, and many people curse him why the Landman was not dead, and finally died."

Robson looked at Bruce and said, "You're surprised why I said that? Young man, when I was as young as you. The first interview task I completed was to report on Brian Crowe as the head coach of the Forests. If you watch how he led the Forests to the top like me and how to constantly fight the media, you will understand how I feel about him..."

The two walked towards the parking lot and got into the car. Then Robson started the car and slowly drove away from the chaotic hospital gate.

"Pearce, have you figured out how to summarize his life? Only one word is allowed."

While driving, Robson and Bruce continued the topic just now.

"Well...I think maybe he's a great coach? Or a successful... legendary..."

Every time Bruce reported a word, Robson shook his head.

"I can't think of it." Bruce surrendered.

"Do you know, Pierce. At your current age, stand in this era and look at Clauve. You will think he is a very successful, admirable coach. But people of our time don't think so. To the latecomers, he may be God, and to us old guys, he is alone. So if it were me, I would choose this word - unusual (remarkable)."

“Extraordinary?”

"Well.  " Robson nodded, "He is definitely not the greatest in English football history. The most successful head coach. But he is definitely the most unusual one and cannot be copied."

Hearing his senior comments on Brian Clauve. Bruce suddenly remembered Tony Donne. He always felt that there were many similarities between the two.

"Murinho and Tony Don are just coaches in another style than him. No one can copy Brian Clauve, no one..." Robson murmured as if guessing Bruce's thoughts.

The car drove past the home stadium of Derby County Club, Pride Park Stadium. There have been many fans who came to mourn outside the stadium. These people are old fans of Derby County. They still remember how Clauve led a team of Derby County to win the English League One Championship.

But because Clauve once used not very open measures to incite fans to protest in the streets in order to force the club to submit. So the old man has always had a bad relationship with the Derby County Club...

There seemed to be something flying in a corner of the car window, attracting Bruce's gaze. He looked over and realized that it was the Derby County Club's flag. It was usually hung high on the top of the flagpole and was not easy to see. But today, the Derby County Club lowered the flag of the old coach who had been carrying infinite controversy all his life.
