Chapter 200 Captain Like You (Part 1)
Chapter 200 Captain like you (Part 1)
Journalists are always "enthusiastic". They raise all kinds of questions to make things difficult for interviewees. Some things that seem to be completely unconnected will be used by them as "you have to answer" questions.
Tang En's handling of these questions that made him feel uncomfortable was simple and crude - he refused them all.
After squeezed out of the airport, I got on the team bus parked outside. Two hours later, the team finally returned to Nottingham, which they were familiar with.
At the gate of Wilford training base, Donn announced the dissolution of the team and the players have two half-day holidays this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
When Donn left, Wood repeated to him: "Eight o'clock in the evening."
Tang En asked: "Have you invited Tang?"
Wood stood up and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Mom didn't say it, I think it shouldn't be."
"Oh, OK." Tang En nodded, "You go back early, don't let your mother wait in a hurry, I will come then."
Wood turned and left, cars in the parking lot drove away one by one, and the players left, some went home to enjoy the peace, and some went to spend time. Tang En stood alone in the empty parking lot and scratched his head.
Is this a dinner that only invited him?
Tang discovered that since he came back, Tang En was tidying up his appearance, taking a bath, shaving, combing his hair, changing clothes, and polishing his shoes.
He was very surprised that Tang En was not a person who was so particular about dressing.
"You're going out?"
Tang En nodded: "Oh, by the way. Tang, you have to solve it yourself tonight."
"Shania is back?"
Tang En, who was shining his shoes, stopped and looked back at Tang: "Why were you the first to think of her?"
Tang shrugged: "I don't know, don't you?"
Tang En shook his head and turned to continue shining his shoes: "No. It's Sophia, George's mother."
"Oh." Tang didn't say anything.
Tang En lowered his head and repeatedly wiped the shoes in his hand. Even though it was already shiny.
Why was Tang the first to mention Shania? The little girl should have returned to the UK from Brazil, right? She has not contacted her recently. When she left, she said she was calling and she didn't care about anything when she was busy. She wouldn't be angry anymore, right?
When Tang heard the sound of shining shoes became monotonous, he knew that Tang En was stunned again.
Tang En arrived at Wood's house a little earlier.
"Long time no see, Mr. Tang En." Sophia opened the door for Tang En with a smile.
"Yes, long time no see...You are in such a good spirit, madam."
After Tang En entered the house, he found that there was no one else in the huge home, so he asked, "Where is George?"
"He's out to buy things. He'll be back in a while." Sophia still looked at Tang En with a smile, which made Tang En feel a little embarrassed. He sat down and coughed.
"Do you add sugar to black tea, Mr. Tangen?" Sophia asked at the right time.
"no thanks. "
Sophia turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea for Tang En. At this time, a knock sounded outside the door. Tang En stood up to stop Sophia who ran out of the kitchen. "I'll go and drive."
He thought it was Wood who was back, so that he could relieve the embarrassment now. Unexpectedly, the first thing he saw when he opened the door was a child's face.
The child opened his mouth. But he made a mature man's voice: "Ah, boss! I really didn't expect to see you here."
With a strong Italian accent in English, Don En knew who came.
"Dimi!" He was very happy. Inviting Albertini to dinner was indeed a good way to help Wood untie his knot.
Albertini was smiling next to him, and the one holding the child was his supermodel wife Uriana; Capone. The beautiful former model smiled and greeted Don Eun: "Good evening, Mr. Don Eun."
"Good evening, madam. Please come in, George is going to buy something. Sophia is making tea, and I'm doing it for the master." He moved open the door and made a gesture of invitation. "Hello, little Albertini.
"Donn reached out to hook the Albertini's nose, causing the child to giggle in his mother's arms.
Albertini's wife, Donn, is no stranger to Albertini. Albertini transferred to the Forest team, and their family also came to the UK from Italy.
Although she is not very adapted to the bad weather in the UK, Uriana is still with her husband, and she will occasionally send her children back to her Italian grandfather's house. Usually, whenever there is a home game between the Forest Team, Uriana will definitely show up in the stands in the red jersey of the Forest Team to cheer for her husband.
This is a happy family of three.
Albertini was able to adapt to English football so quickly and adapt to Nottingham Forest, and his wife's careful care and unreserved support made an indelible contribution.
Sophia brought out a cup of tea from the kitchen and turned into three cups of tea. Everyone sat together and chatted casually. It looked like Tang En was more like the owner of the house...
Until Wood comes back.
In fact, it is dinner, and eating is not very important. What is important is chatting, women talk about topics that women are interested in, children play with each other, and men gather together to talk about their affairs - it is also the real purpose of this dinner.
The topic begins with Albertini's injury.
"How are your legs, Demi?" asked Donn, sitting next to Albertini with a cup of tea after the meal.
"Fleming told me if it goes well, I will be back on the court at the end of next month."
"What do you feel about it?"
"If I said I could go back to the stadium now, you wouldn't want to, boss."
The two of them laughed.
George; Wood helped his mother pack the tableware and sat down. In fact, he already knew why his mother suddenly thought of treating guests at home, and Albertini and Donne were invited.
Seeing Wood sit down, Donn glanced at him and then blinked at Albertini.
Of course Albertini knew what the real purpose of this dinner was. He looked at Wood and asked with a smile: "George, how does it feel to be a captain?"
Facing Albertini, Wood felt a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and did not answer.
Donn laughed from the side: "It doesn't seem good, Demi." He stopped laughing and said to Albertini, "This kid... always wants to imitate you. Am I right, George?" He looked at Wood again.
Wood raised his head and said to Donn, "You asked me to be the captain, I asked me to learn from Demi."
Donn did not reply, and Albertini continued: "George, tell me honestly, do you think you have something in common with me?"
This question made Wood stunned, and he thought about it carefully. Demi was enthusiastic. When he just joined the team, although he didn't speak much English, he let everyone in the mainland accept him in the shortest time.
He is always willing to help his teammates who are in trouble, regardless of whether they are in contact with each other.
He always had a smile on his face and was very polite to everyone. When he spoke in the locker room, everyone would involuntarily calm down... Perhaps this is Demi's unique personal charm.
And does Wood have these? Although he is not always stern, he does give people the impression that he is not easy to approach. Albertini spent a month to let his teammates accept him and like him, while Wood spent almost a year and a half.
He rarely goes out to play with others. After training every day, he rushes home to accompany his mother. He doesn't go out to drink, doesn't go to nightclubs to find beautiful ladies, doesn't fall in love, doesn't have any hobbies, and lives a simple life.
Wood shook his head: "No."
Albertini smiled and spread his hands: "Since we have different personalities, why do you still have to be a captain like me?"
Wood initially squirmed: "I think the captain... should be you..."
Albertini is George; Wood has been in contact with the captain for the longest time, so it is normal for him to have this idea.
