Chapter 56 Your Majesty Returns

May 24, 2009 was a special day for Nottingham Forest fans. A few days before this day, they were all excited. The tickets for the last home game of the season were stolen. As the team was destined to get nothing, the last game was still full, and countless fans were waiting for someone to sell the extra tickets.

It’s not that their team wants to return to the top of the standings on this day, nor that they will be relegated from now on.

The reason why these people are so excited is actually very simple - that person is coming back.

Although Tony Donn has been back to the team and started working for three weeks, this is the first time he has led the team to play at home.

In addition, there is another person who wants to say goodbye to Nottingham and the Forest of Nottingham.

He is David Beckham whose contract expires.

These days, Forest fans have always flocked to Wilford to watch Forest’s training, and then asked for autographs around Beckham. His popularity is even stronger than before.

The team also had a faint sorrow of parting. In fact, there was such sorrow of parting every season before, but because of the outstanding performance of the team in the past few seasons, everyone was thinking about celebrating the team's achievements, and this faint sorrow of parting was also diluted by the joyful atmosphere.

This year the team is relatively down and the mood of parting becomes more and more obvious.

Beckham is destined to leave, and some people are thinking about whether to leave in their hearts...

The surprise of the boss coming back did not last long.

Beckham is a player who is very good at having good relationships with his teammates, so although he is very famous and his light alone is enough to keep the whole team in his shadow, his relationship with his teammates is always very harmonious, which is related to his ability to be a human being.

However, before the last round of the league, everyone in the Forests was surprised to receive a small gift from Beckham to them.

Even Donn is no exception. His gift was specially delivered by Beckham.

"After playing tomorrow's game, this season is over. So this is a gift for you. Tony." In private, Beckham did not call Tang An "head", but called him by his name, which made the two feel close.

"Thank me?" Don En felt guilty. "When Albertini left, I gave him the best farewell gift. But when you left, I couldn't take out anything." He spread his hands and patted his pockets. "What else do you want to thank me?"

"Ha.  " Beckham smiled, "When I decided to join Nottingham Forest, I just hope to prove myself again in a place closest to the British public.   I never thought I could win a Champions League and League Championship trophy in the late stages of my career.  Is this gift not heavy enough, Tony?"

Tang En smiled and said nothing.

"Two years are not long, but I remember it deeply. Nottingham Forest is a good place, but unfortunately I can only stay for two years." Beckham suddenly sighed.

"I'll be content with you. David." Tang En felt that this was the best affirmation of his work. "You still want to go to the United States?"

Beckham nodded: "I won the European Super Cup, the English Charity Shield, the World Club Cup, the European Champions League. The Premier League champion... I have no pursuit in football anymore. I have signed a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy and play for another two years. But that's not playing football, but going to show." He shrugged.

It was boastful that he went to the United States to play football this time, saying that he brought green to the football desert, and that he was a big shot who could change the current situation of American football. It could make more Americans fall in love with football... In fact, these are nonsense. He knew very well that he had no such influence at all, and the Earth King like Bailey did not make the American football environment much better. How could he change the interests of a country by himself? He was just going to accompany his wife...

Talk about other wives. Tang En would also like to thank this woman who is famous for her specializing in fighting with the head coach. At least in the two seasons at Beckham for Nottingham Forest, Victoria did not cause any trouble for herself. It seems that Beckham really made great efforts to convince his wife. It is probably the content of the agreement to play in the United States for another two years. Perhaps there is another reason, that is, after all, there is some private friendship and I don’t want to make everyone’s relationship too stiff...Shaniya is also taken care of by her.

Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly asked: "Do you want to sell your villa in Nottingham?"

Beckham nodded: "I won't have much time to go back to the UK in the future. I have houses in Manchester and London. Victoria feels that Nottingham doesn't have to stay anymore."

Tang En clapped his hands: "It's just right, sell it to me!"

Beckham smiled: "You also think it's not good to live in the place you are now. Tony?"

Tang En touched his nose: "Hey. Actually, I am the only one, you can live anywhere. But from now on, two people will live together, so you still have to have a better house. Now is not the time to say goodbye, David. Come to Brazil during the holiday after the season ends!"

Beckham was a little surprised: "Brazil?"

"Hey, don't you know?" Tang En also felt strange.

"What do you know?"

"Shania and I are getting married, and we are on the summer vacation..."

Beckham's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Hey, you don't have to make such an expression, right?" Tang En curled his lips.

"This is the first time I heard that you are going to get married this summer..." Beckham was also very aggrieved. His good friend was going to get married. But he just heard it. How did he prepare a gift?

"Huh? Shania didn't tell Victoria?"

Beckham shook his head.

"Didn't the paparazzi find out?"

Beckham continued to shake his head.

Tang En smiled happily: "This little girl has done a good job in keeping secrets!" He guessed that Xianya was so strict about keeping secrets to give the media a big surprise. So that she could see how these media reacted after learning the shocking news. Just like what she said herself - that must be fun!

"Okay, David. You should be happy now. You are the first person in the world to know the news except Shania and me, and her parents! I was going to send an invitation to the whole team after the game." Done patted Beckham's arms.

Beckham also smiled: "It's time for me to congratulate you. Tony. You and Shania are really a perfect match. Victoria and I have talked about your relationship in private. It's not easy to get to this movie... What prompted you to make up your mind in the end?"

Tang En remembered the back of the man who made up sesame paste for himself in the hospital ward. “David. What would you feel if one day when you thought you were going to die and struggled to open your eyes and see the first person you saw was the one who was taking good care of you?”

Beckham didn't answer the question because he knew Tony wasn't asking him at all.

"I want to thank the heart disease, although it has caused the team's performance to decline. But we can make a comeback next season. I'm grateful for it, just because it has allowed me to find the person I love the most." Tang En shrugged. He said this kind of stingy words now without any psychological barriers. The people he still wants to thank may also be among the people he has to thank. Because as she said - admitting love is not a shame.

When Beckham saw his head coach with a happy look on his face, he touched his chin and said, "Oh, what wedding gift should I give you, Tony?"

"Don't think about it, you'll sell it to me cheaper."

"No problem, Tony. Deal!"

The hands of the two people are held together.

Before leaving, Donne told Beckham about the arrangements for tomorrow's game: "David, you are the starter. This is your farewell match for the Forest team... You don't have to prove anything anymore. Just enjoy the cheers of the home fans."

Beckham nodded and turned around and walked away.

Watching his back leave the office, Tang En sighed softly.

More and more people are familiar with him.

One day, when he stands in front of the coach's seat on the city stadium, all he can do is to have a person who can only have a lifetime of memory. Can he still be friends with players like this?

The main news of Nottingham media in the past few days is all about two people.

The return of Tony Donn and the departure of David Beckham.

The Nottingham Evening Post has made a special topic. A detailed review of Beckham's two seasons with Forests, which helped Forest win Manchester United to the Premier League throne, and also fell into the injured mud as the team fell together. But none of these matters, he was about to leave. The "heartthrob" will not belong to Nottingham Forest from now on. Forever. It is said that after the Manchester United club is planning to retire Beckham, he will serve as Manchester United's global ambassador and take over Bobby Charlton's class. After all, he is still a Manchester United player.

There have also been several famous stars in Nottingham Forest history, but the club itself has not continued its glorious tradition, so it cannot cultivate these stars' infinite loyalty to the club, nor can it allow those stars to serve as global image ambassadors after retirement. This is the regret of all Nottingham Foresters.

Although Jero has played for Forest, he only has feelings for Real Madrid. Albertini was once the captain of Forest, but after he retired, he insisted on returning to Italy. Returning to Milan. Now it is David Beckham's turn. In the near future, it is foreseeable that such people will also have Van Nistruei and Van der Sar.

When will we have legendary figures in our club's history? Many of the players who once fought with the old man Brian Clauve now become famous coaches, but they are scattered everywhere, and their connections with Nottingham Forest are pitifully few. In today and in the future where business and money make football more and more impetuous, may there be Albertini, his own Yero, and his own Beckham appear in Nottingham Forest?

This problem needs to be linked to Tony Donn. The Forests fans firmly believe that as long as their Tony is there, the Forests will not collapse. But now, there is a problem with Tony Donn's heart. Who can guarantee how long he can still work in this position?

One year, two years, or three years, five years? Can he sit in this position for eighteen years like his predecessor, Brian Clauve?

If just prayer can make a person healthy. All Nottingham Forest fans will pray for Tony Don before three meals a day. I hope he is healthy and his heart is running well. Life is a hundred years old.

On the day of the competition, the weather was beautiful and the sky was clear.

Starting from noon, fans came to the court one after another. Before the game started, everyone had already taken their seats. The city stadium, which can accommodate up to 30,000 people, was packed and filled. The special significance of this game to the Forest fans is to welcome Tony Donne to the return of the King and bid farewell to Beckham.

Donne gave his last speech to the players in the locker room.

"Our first official game this season was the Community Shield Cup, and the opponent in that game was Portsmouth. Now the opponent in the last round of the league is still Portsmouth. What a coincidence. Isn't it? This is great, this bad season requires a good end. We beat Portsmouth in the Community Shield Cup, and now I hope you will also say goodbye to this season by defeating Portsmouth and seeing David off. You all received his small gift, and this gift is not for nothing!"

Everyone laughed.

Although the team's final ranking is not ideal. But as long as the leader comes back, the team will get angry. All problems seem to be no longer a problem, because no matter how big the problem arises, there will be leaders behind it.

"The current situation is that we have no desires. Portsmouth still has hope to compete for the entrance to the next season of the League Cup. Look, what a good opportunity..." Don Ng smiled, "It has almost become our tradition to deteriorate others' good things. In fact, it's not our intentional bad things. It's really just that opportunity... Last time it was Liverpool, this time it was Portsmouth. Nottingham Forest never acts as a stepping stone just to help his opponent succeed! Those who thought they could step on our bodies to get on the top!

All opponents have to pay a heavy price for thinking this way! Liverpool is not the first. Portsmouth is not the last! Tell Portsmouth with practical actions how stupid it is to make some cheaper things and profit from Nottingham Forest! They think we are tigers that are about to starve. We must let them know that the terrible tigers at this time! Who do the bastards in Portsmouth think we are? We are Nottingham Forest! Nottingham Forest that covers the sky!!”

When Tony Donn and his colleagues, as well as the substitutes came out first and walked towards the coach's floor, he was startled by the deafening cheers.

When he realized it, he realized that everyone was shouting at his name.

"Tony! Tony! Tony--"

"Welcome to our King--!!" the live broadcaster shouted loudly in the roar.

"Welcome back, Tony!!" Fatty John shouted with his guys.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty the King--!"

"Tony! Take care of yourself!"

"We love you! Tony!" This is a group of crazy beautiful fans. They were wearing three-point clothes, with single subtitles written on their plump breasts in colorful paint, and arranged in order exactly "We love Tony".

The sound was connected and resounded through the sky.

Don and Chris Lack walked past him. As if they hadn't seen this scene, the substitutes also covered their mouths and walked towards the bench with a smile. Don En was kept by himself, and he stood on the sidelines and looked up at the packed stands.

Everyone stood up from their seats, and they raised their arms and made a bow. Just like the treatment he received at this venue after the end of last season. Thirty thousand people shouted one person's name in unison, and it was endless and deafening.

This is his personal glory.

This is the life he wants.

He raised his arm and waved upwards.

The roar went to a higher level.

Tianxianya in the private room saw this scene. She curled her lips: "I'm going to be jealous..."
To be continued...
