Chapter 41 Confess
ion
When Tony Donn returned to Nottingham with the FA Cup, everyone knew what his next goal was. It was time to do so. If he didn't win the Triple Crown, it would be too sorry for the two previous championships.
Like the league, after winning the championship, Done gave the team a day off, allowing the players and coaches to relax. Then he prepared to face the strong opponent.
Tony Don, who won two championships, once again became the focus of media attention. The reporters were unwilling to give up every opportunity to approach him to interview him. Even if they were on vacation, there were still reporters who wanted to interview him.
Pierce Bruce is one of them. He has one more advantage over other reporters - he has Don't have Don't have a private mobile phone number, and he can contact Don't be any place or any time, while other reporters do not have such privileges. Don't have the media, although there is no one who has successfully been arrogant now, he just has no good face to the media. Therefore, other media want to interview Tony Don't alone, coach Don't have to submit applications through the club and wait for a reply. Usually their application will not receive a positive response, so Don't be called "the most difficult head coach in England" and is listed first in the "most unwelcome head coach for journalists".
Today, Bruce plans to contact Don Eun through his private phone to make an interview.
But he made three consecutive calls from 8 a.m., and Tang En's phone was turned off.
Bruce shook his head and puzzled. He thought for a long time and could only blame Tang En for being still sleeping with his wife or lingering, so he didn't turn on the computer.
It seems that it is really difficult to interview this person...
Bruce thought Done must be doing morning exercises with his wife. But in fact he was wrong.
At eight o'clock, Tang En drove out the door alone. And Xianya was still asleep in bed after a night of passion.
Even if Xianya gets up, Tang En won't take her with her. He doesn't want anyone else to disturb the place where Tang En wants to go and what he wants to do, even his wife, the most important thing in his life. In order not to let others disturb him, he even turned off his phone.
The place he was going to is south of Nottingham, near Clifton, where there was a large forest like the north. There was a church on a small hill, and behind it was a cemetery hidden in the woods.
Gavin Bernard, George Wood's first fan in his life, was buried here.
In fact, Tang En had just been here not long ago. Although he is a British, he has never forgotten some traditional Chinese customs. For example, he comes back here every year on Qingming Festival. Tang En will definitely take time to come on this day. If the team plays on Qingming Festival, he will come one day in advance or postpone it one day. People around him don’t understand why he chose to watch Gavin at this time. Because there is no such thing as Qingming Festival in the West.
After coming back more than a month later, Don En brought two good news to Gavin.
"League Champion and FA Cup Champion." Tang En stood in front of Gavin's tombstone and said to him, "Everyone is so happy outside. Do you know how many years has Not won the FA Cup in Nottingham Forest been? Fifty-five years, half a century. Hey. To be honest, I really didn't expect such a problem before the game. But after the game, I realized that we hadn't won the FA Cup for so long. Now, fifty-five years of resentment are over."
"Have you watched those two games? The league champion was so difficult, and I almost gave up... Let's be honest. I just said this to you alone, Gavin. No one else knows... I really planned to give up in the last three minutes. I even thought about how to deal with those annoying reporters. Eat the table? I eat the chocolate cake table casually, but I didn't say what kind of table it is anyway! Ha!"
Tang En laughed proudly.
"It's really tiring to be a head coach. I almost came here to accompany you. But I am a stubborn person. So many people hope that I will die, so I will never die. So I am still alive and continue to win you the championship. But..." Tang En thought about it. "There is something that has been buried in my heart for almost a year, and I didn't tell anyone, even my wife didn't know. Now I decided to tell you, because I know you won't talk nonsense... I will give them a big surprise then!"
Tang En turned his head to look around. There was no one else in this small cemetery except him. The wind in the forest passed through the cemetery, whisking the leaves and making a rustling sound, which was the only sound here.
Tang En knelt down on one knee and held the tombstone with his hand. It was as if he was stroking Gavin's little head. He lowered his head. He wriggled his lips next to the tombstone, but no sound was made.
After saying that, he stood up again with a smile on his face: "What do you think of this idea? I really look forward to seeing their surprised expressions. But I have to say sorry to you... Forget it, you won't be the chairman of Nottingham Forest Club anyway. If you can really do it, even if I am ninety-eight years old, I will continue to sit in that position. Sometimes I look forward to that day, and I feel excited when I think about it in my mind."
Tang En tilted his head, as if he was fantasizing about such a future.
"But..." He retracted his eyes and focused on the tombstone. "I can only think about it in my mind."
"The last champion is left." Tang En sighed, "I suddenly feel tired of running to the finish line. Do you feel this way, Gavin? After you experienced a marathon long-distance race, the finish line is about to come, but your body is not right - I don't want to run anymore, my legs are bored, I can't breathe, and I seem to stop. I'm tired."
Tang En simply sat on the ground and faced the tombstone.
"I really don't want to run away, but I can only talk to you and complain here. If I really fall before the finish line, I'll commit suicide. No matter what the next game will be, at least I can't give up before the end of the game. Did you know, Gavin? So many people are looking at me. My players, my colleagues, my boss, my supporters, opponents... Countless pairs of eyes are staring at you behind your back. You can't make mistakes. Your supporters will be disappointed if you make mistakes. Your opponents will applaud. You will definitely say why I'm going to fight against so many people, right? Who said I'm just such a bad temper? Good man... I really can't pretend, and my warm-hearted personality is not suitable for me. I'm so extreme. Either I die or they die... Forty-five-year-old, I'm still like a child."
"Well, I'm not that old..." Tang En coughed, and he felt uncomfortable when he said this age. "I'll tell you another little secret. This secret is that the people closest to me don't know. I... well..." He looked up and looked around, but there was still no one. "I came from another time and space. In that time and space, I'm not a land manager of the Forest Team. I'm not even a British. I'm very ordinary, and I don't know you either. If I hadn't come, you might not have lie here, right?"
Tang En shook his head, "I won't say this anymore. I will lose my fighting spirit if I say too much."
While he was still sitting on the ground chatting with Gawen, he turned around from the entrance of the cemetery.
George Wood bought a bouquet of flowers outside the church. He asked for a card and wrote it in a crooked manner: "Gaven, George."
Only "George" wrote the best, and this is what he has to do with signatures and practices for fans all day long.
When he wrote it on the card, he remembered again how Tang En laughed at him for his ugly words.
"Look at the words you wrote, you are not even as good as elementary school students!"
Wood inserted the card into the bouquet and picked it up and left the flower shop.
It was not until this time that the owner of the flower shop dared to whisper to himself: "It's George Wood?"
When Wood walked in, he thought he was blurred.
Wood didn't say much, picked a bouquet of lilies, asked for another card, and paid. He left like that. The whole process from entering the store to leaving the store was no more than a minute, and he only said a few words:
"Please give me a bouquet of lilies and a card."
"Thanks. "
Wood did not go out to wear sunglasses to cover up his identity, but he would not take the initiative to expose himself. The owner of the flower shop did not react at first because he did not expect George Wood to visit his small flower shop. He did not react until Wood left.
"What did he do here?" he murmured with a frown, unable to figure it out.
When Wood walked into the cemetery, he saw a man sitting in front of his destination, as if he was talking about something.
When he got closer, he recognized that the person sitting on the ground was the leader.
Tang En also found Wood who was leaning over. Neither of them was surprised to see each other here.
Done stood up and gave the position to Wood. Wood walked up and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. The bouquet was placed immediately before Done.
"Do you want me to leave some private space for you?" Tang En planned to leave first.
But Wood shook his head: "No. I have nothing to say."
"You are so heartless, George." Done joked with Wood.
Unexpectedly, Wood replied to him: "I don't know what to say."
Tang En was stunned for a moment. Then he waved his hand: "Then let's go, I'll drive you back."
Wood nodded.
The two of them glanced at Gavin Bernard's tombstone at the same time and turned around and left.
"Aren't you planning to buy a car, George? You are a big star, and it's a big star without a car can make people laugh at it."
“Nothing is useful at the moment.”
"You have such low requirements for life...and don't plan to find a girl? How old are you, George?"
“Twenty-seven.”
"It's twenty-seven. You don't look for girls. Do you want others to say you're gay?"
"I love my mom."
Done turned his head and looked at Wood and said nothing.
The 27-year-old big star is still single, and it is incredible to say it, but it is natural and reasonable to put it in George Wood. His life seems to be able to accommodate only one woman, that is his mother. The mother-Olympian child can never imagine what it would be like to let another woman share his love. Even Don Eun deeply believes that if one day a woman who is not his mother is with Wood, the scene must be very strange...
When sending Wood home, Donn met Sophia.
Sophia was also very happy to see Tang En. Her face was even a little red. She wanted to keep Tang En here for lunch, but Tang En politely declined because he had to go home to accompany his wife. Shania must have prepared lunch and waited for him.
Sophia was a little disappointed, but her expression was quickly covered up.
Tang En didn't even enter the door. Every time he faced Sophia, he made him feel complicated. He knew Sophia's feelings for him. But he was a man with a wife, and he didn't think it was appropriate for him to be with Sophia. In order not to continue to give Sophia this delusion, sometimes he had to deliberately keep a distance. Of course, this would make Sophia a little sad, but it would be better than lying to her, right?
When Sophia tried to keep Donn for lunch, Wood stood by without saying a word.
Tang En thought of Wood's words and felt strange, so he didn't stop for much. He said goodbye to the mother and son directly.
In his heart, he only hopes that Sophia and George can live happily.
Pierce Bruce made a phone call all day long, and Tang En's phone was always turned off. He was confused, Tang En's phone rarely turned off. Even at two or three o'clock in the morning, you would call him. Of course, it would be no surprise that he would be scolded and hung up the phone after it was opened.
He thought about a lot of possibilities in his mind, but in the end he thought about it worsened, and he simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He didn't call Tang Endi until after nine o'clock in the evening.
When he heard the reminder over there, he was not reminded that "the user you called was turned off." But the prompt sound of waiting for the answer, he almost felt tears in his eyes.
"I've called you all day, Tony!" Bruce shouted excitedly on the phone.
"Do you want to pursue me? Unfortunately, I don't like men, Mr. Journalist." Donn joked with Blues.
"I want to ask you for an exclusive interview. You are a big celebrity now. I'm afraid that if you are too late, you will be snatched..."
"I'm not a cargo... OK, I promise you, but it's not now. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow... Until the final of the Champions League, I will not accept any exclusive interviews. I have rejected all the interview applications sent to the club, and you and I are no exception, even though our friendship is pretty good."
"Is it to prepare for the Champions League finals with peace of mind?"
"That's natural. Actually, I'm doing this to make you cheaper, Mr. Reporter. When I win the Champions League, it will be difficult for you to ask me for an exclusive interview." Tang En said seriously on the phone.
Don Eun is putting on airs, but Bruce doesn't care. As long as Don Eun promises him to accept the interview, that's fine.
"That's good. I'm here to confirm this... Uh, I won't bother you..." Bruce hung up the phone in a hurry because he heard Shania's laughter on the phone.
When Shania saw Tang En's serious look, she couldn't help laughing.
Tang En put down his cell phone and spread his hands to Shania.
Shania leaned up very obediently and snuggled in her husband's arms.
"Where do you want to go to play this summer, Shania?" Tang En asked gently sniffing Shania's hair.
"Aren't you very busy? BBC wants to ask you to explain the World Cup in South Africa again? When the World Cup is over, the team will be training again." Shania asked strangely.
Tang En smiled: "Who is the one who can tell the future exactly? Where do you want to go?"
Shania curled up in Tang En's arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed Tang En's caress, murmured: "You can go anywhere, just be with Uncle Tony..."
