Chapter 123: Clauf II? (Part 1)

This is the second time that Tang En attended the funeral after he arrived in the UK. But compared with the first time, Tang En did not feel sad. The person of the head always makes him feel very complicated, like, respect, and a little dissatisfied... he is intertwined, so he cannot have tears on his face like the head's family.

This was indeed a private funeral, very, very private. Apart from Clauve's family, there was only Tang En, the "outsider". He was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, standing behind them with his head down, and silently attended the funeral.

Except for the initial meeting with Ms. Barbara, she comforted her a few words—although she seemed to need comfort—he didn't say a word throughout the funeral, nor did the ceremony process arrange for him to make any speech.

Others... Ianboyer, Deswack, Stuart Pierce, Martin O'Neill, Trevo Francisco... None of these people invited them, but he, the junior who knew the last one with the boss. Don't want to attend this very private funeral, would it be the boss's meaning?

After the funeral, a group of people walked out of the cemetery behind the church silently. Tang En didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to remain silent. Not far ahead was everyone's car, and it seemed that the funeral was about to end here. Tang En thought he should rush back to Nottingham to meet with the team. At this time, Ms. Barbara in front stopped and turned to look at Tang En.

Tang En knew she had something to say to her, so he stopped.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Tang, I'll let you come at this time." Barbara said with her head down.

Tang En waved his hand quickly: "No, I think I should come. It is my honor to invite me."

"In fact... Brian didn't say who could attend his funeral. He was always in a coma in the last few days. I discussed it with the children and decided to hold a private funeral. Brian used to not like the media, but still doesn't like it now, so we don't want to be disturbed by people we don't know. And you, Mr. Don... do you know what Brian was interviewed after Arsenal tied the Forest team?"

Tang En nodded.

After the Forests tied with Arsenal, Arsenal set a new record of unbeaten. The media interviewed Brian Clauve specifically for this, hoping to hear his view on Arsenal's new record. Faced with these media, Clauve satisfies them very well. He praised Arsenal's football as wonderful as seeing Marilyn Monroe in his dream, "If anyone can break that record, it must be Wenger's Arsenal."

Then he talked about the new Chelsea coach Mourinho, who is also very popular recently. He calls the Portuguese his heir, whether he is handsome when he was young or his coaching style.   When he is a coach, Crowf is a very eye-catching head coach.   He is always able to attract the attention of the media. He expresses his views unscrupulously, and he often speaks those "quotations" that will be regarded as classics in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                 �

So the media began to call Mourinho "Clauve Second". Instead, they ignored the fact that they had always used Tony Donn and Brian Clauveby.

Clauve also said nothing about Tony Donne when he was interviewed.

——Who is my favorite coach? Of course it’s Wenger, he is my idol.

——Who is the coach who looks the most like me? Of course it is Mourinho, because he looks as handsome as when I was young.

"But you know who the person he mentioned the most at home?"

Tang En shook his head.

"It's you. Mr. Done." Ms. Barbara pointed at Done. "He always tells us about your Forest team. When you beat Manchester City, he was so excited in front of the TV that he looked like a young man... Can you imagine, Mr. Done, an old man jumped up from the sofa with his fists?"

Tang En continued to shake his head, he really couldn't imagine it. When he was fighting Manchester City, the boss's health shouldn't be very good...

Ms. Barbara smiled, but the smile disappeared quickly. “He always tells us about you, so the kids and I both feel as if we have known you for a long time.”

Tang En was surprised by everything Barbara said: "I don't know the boss...well, he never talks about this with me."

"You have to know, Mr. Tang. Bryan is such a person. Sometimes you think he is arrogant and extreme, but in fact he is just covering up himself. He rarely praises this person in front of someone. So it always makes people feel a little cold. I think Bryan probably won't have the chance to say this to you. Thank you, Mr. Tang. You made Brian's last two years have a pleasant life."

After Ms. Barbara said goodbye to Tang En, she left by car. Tang En stood alone outside the church, slowly reminiscing about the words she had heard just now.

He still clearly remembers the scene when he first met Brian Clauve. The aggressive old man couldn't answer his questions for the first time he met.

"Boy, what do you think the head coach does?"

"Lead the team to win..."

“That’s just part of the work.”

A car horn sounded awakened Donn. He saw Pierce Bruce, the reporter sitting in the jeep, looking at him.

"Why are you here, Mr. Reporter?" Tang En was a little surprised.

"Uh..." Bruce scratched his head, "Although Mrs. Crowff said that this funeral was private, you know that we the public wanted to know something...but I didn't see anything." He shrugged, "I ran almost all the churches in Middlesbrough before I found it. Seeing you here, I knew I was looking for the right place, but obviously I was late."

"No, you're not late, on the contrary, you're here at the right time." Tang En shook his head and said, "because I just happened to need a car to take me back to Nottingham."

Pierce smiled: "Get in the car, Mr. Coach."

On the way back to Nottingham from Middlesbrough, the mainland broadcasts were almost always talking about the death of Brian Clauve, and the honors he had won in Nottingham Forest were also mentioned again.

"He is one of the best coaches in England!" Bruce said to Don while driving, with a very affirmative tone. "But he can only rank eighth on the list of the best coaches in Britain! Ramsey, who ranked above him, just led England to win a World Cup championship. But in the minds of Nottinghams, he is the best coach, better than Passley! What a pity... he retired too early because of alcoholism."

Bruce sighed.

"Tony, you should drink less alcohol too..."

"Um..." Tang En looked out the window and responded absent-mindedly. The radio has become a big discussion on who is Brian Clauve's successor. Many listeners said that Mourinho, the Portuguese, is obviously influenced by the media, and some people think that Tony Tang En is.

But Tang En himself is not interested in this kind of argument. He doesn't want to be his heir and his second life. If Mourinho is willing, let him do it. I want to be Tang En I!

"In our last interview with us during our lifetime, Brian Crowf said that Chelsea coach Mourinho is the person who looks the most like him. But let's not forget, before Mourinho came to England, who is the coach who we talked about the most? Tony Donne! For the Nottingham Forest's home game against Chelsea tomorrow, the two Crowf's successors will be the match. Let's hear what Coach Tony Donne thinks. "

The gate of the city court appeared in the TV screen. The originally deserted place was surrounded by flowers and candles, and the iron gate railing was covered with red forest team scarves. Many fans mourned silently in the square in front of the gate. They presented a bouquet of flowers and hung the scarfs they had worn for countless years.

This is the scene in front of the city court in the afternoon. Then, Donn appeared in the TV camera, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, and apparently had just returned from the funeral in Middlesbrough.

"...I think it is inappropriate to discuss who is the leader's successor at this time. But I know that your media likes to do such inappropriate things, so I am used to it. What do you ask me about this? I think it's good. Mourinho is Clauf's successor. There is no doubt that I think so too." Don Eun in the picture did not forget to mock the reporters who made him dislike at this time, "I respect the leader very much, and because of this, I don't want others to say that I am his heir or something. And I firmly believe that the leader will not want me to be the second him. Of course, if Mourinho is very happy with this title, then you might as well change the word "Clauf II" in the future, instead of "Morino."
