Chapter 72 The Days of Leaving Tang En

Since the World Cup, Kenny Burns Forest Bar has not been as lively as it is today for a long time.

Since the door opened at 11:00 noon, people kept pushing the door and calling a glass of beer, and then gathering together to whisper and discussing something.

When the skinny Bill appeared in the bar, the whispering voice finally turned into loud debates. The fans who were united in the past split into two factions at this time, and no one was willing to give in to the other side. Apart from not throwing cups and swearing, the atmosphere was not friendly.

Burns continued to wipe the cup that he would never wipe clean in his hand for the rest of his life, and had no intention of coming forward to stop him.

When John pushed the door open, the debate inside the house temporarily disappeared after seeing him.

John stood at the door and looked around the house. The fans in the bar stood clearly on both sides. There were few people on the left and many people on the right. Everyone was filled with a hint of anger, and the red color on their faces was fully revealed under the influence of alcohol.

"Bill, what are you doing?" John grabbed the main contradiction in an instant. He stared at Bill sitting on the right.

"It's nothing. I'm discussing how to 'welcome' Tony in tomorrow's game." Bill responded casually, shaking the whiskey in the cup.

"You can't let it go? Tony has Tony's freedom..."

The fat man's words were just started and he was interrupted by Bill rudely. He stood up suddenly, stared at John, and said with red eyes: "Bad freedom! Do you think he is still an ordinary head coach? Yes, no matter how many ordinary head coaches go, we don't care, because they are worthless to us! But Tony Donn is different! He spent eleven years proving that he only belongs to Nottingham Forest! Without him, Nottingham Forest is not the Nottingham Forest we like, and without Nottingham Forest... not the Tony we like!"

After John finished his yelling, he still said calmly: "You said you like Tony, but do you understand him? He is unhappy in his work, so at least he has the right to choose to leave, right?"

"Ahhh. He did something unpleasant, he had the right to choose to leave. So we also had the right to hate him!" Bill changed his tone and said sarcastically. "What should I do if he patted his butt and left us? And the players who followed him, those fans who trusted him and called him the King, have they ever thought about the feelings of these people when he left? Have he understood them? We regard him as someone who can make Nottingham Forest reach the peak, and he treats our expectations like this?"

John felt that Bill was already in a state of madness. He could not communicate with such a Bill, so he shook his head. He ignored the hysterical Bill, walked straight to the left and sat down, then raised his hand to ask Burns for a glass of wine.

The wine was delivered by Burns himself, but John looked at the wine glass and was dazed: "Disposable paper cup?"

Burns gave him a smile: "So I won't worry that someone will die when you fight in a while."

When John heard this, he suddenly felt in a bad mood. He used to watch the game with those people on the other side, and followed the Nottingham Forest's glorious footprints, returned here to celebrate the wine after winning the ball. He also returned here to drink and curse after losing the ball. No matter what happened, they had never had such internal strife like today, even when Michael left.

But unexpectedly, when Tony Donn left, they split. That person is really a demon, no one is there. The influence of staying can make former friends turn against each other. Tony, Tony, what should I say to you? What exactly did you think when you decided to leave the Nottingham Forest? And. Can you imagine what kind of treatment you will encounter in tomorrow's game?

John was not interested in sitting here and drinking, and he stood up, looked at Bill and shook his head, and walked out alone.

Those sitting on the left also left one after John left. Soon only Bill and his gang were left in the bar. They gathered together to continue discussing how to "welcome" their old friends tomorrow.

Burns continued to wipe his wine glass, as if he turned a blind eye to everything in front of him. His eyes had already passed through the door and drifted into the distance. He also didn't know what reason and psychology Tony Donn chose to leave. But he knew that Donn was not the kind of person Bill said, and an ungrateful person would not visit Gavin at least twice a year.

Some people are used to wrapping themselves in thick shells and are unwilling to let others understand their inner world easily. Tony Donne should be like this.

The day before the game, this scene happened in the Forest Bar continued to be staged elsewhere in Nottingham. The city was originally divided by two teams, Nordsshire and Nottingham Forest, but now it has been divided into three parts - Nottingham Forest fans are trapped in internal strife.

Tony Donn will bring England back to Nottingham in tomorrow's game. What should we treat him then? Thank him from the bottom of our hearts. Or should we greet him with boo, insult and middle finger?

They can't forget so many trophys and joys that "His Majesty the King" brought them. But they can't forget the impact that Tang En brought to themselves when they broke up with the Forest Team, and indescribably complex emotions surged into their hearts. The mixed with shock, disappointment, sadness and anger made their lives mess up. Don't think that football is not as powerful as this country and city, football has such energy.

The Nottingham Evening Post used this title in the newspaper published on that day:

King or Judas?

It vividly illustrates the contradictory mood of the Forest fans.

"I will definitely go and hug the boss before the game." Pepe announced his decision in the locker room, attracting everyone's attention.

Some people in the locker room have a good relationship with Don Eun, such as Pepe. They still miss their kindness. Some people also disdain Tony Don Eun. For example, those new players who have just joined the team have never experienced the Tang En era and cannot understand why people like Pepe go crazy with a departed coach.

Brazilian central defender Thiago Silva, who just joined the team, is such a representative. He took over Kompany to Forest and was able to join a team that had just won the triple-champion. He was naturally very excited. He was eager to show off his strength here, and he didn't care about what happened to Forest before. He was also a little confused about someone in the locker room discussing a head coach who had left.

"Pepe, aren't you afraid of your superiors showing you a look?" Bell pointed to the ceiling.

"They don't have that much to do." Pepe looked contemptuous. He was the first player in the team to clearly express his disgust towards senior management. Anyway, if you really offend the club chairman, you can just leave by yourself. The boss is gone, what's the point of staying by yourself?

Some of the players envy Pepe for their courage to love, hate, and take action. Some people disdain for this. They don’t take it seriously, thinking that Pepe is just talking about it, and anyone can tell it.

It turned out that the united locker room was like a piece of iron plate, and cracks appeared quietly.

Bell looked at Pepe, then turned to look at Wood, "George..."

Wood looked at him without answering.

"You, uh... will you also hug the head?" In the team, everyone knew how good the relationship between Wood and Don Eun was. I'm afraid no one would object to the fact that Don Eun was Wood's father.

But today Wood did not give an answer that matches this relationship. He shook his head: "I'm not that stingy."

Bale felt Wood's indifference and stopped talking.                                                                                                                        �

He was busy with his own affairs in silence. The other players gathered together in groups of three or five and whispered, 80% of which were related to tomorrow's game.

Bell is no longer interested in their discussion.   There is anything to discuss, and I will know everything tomorrow.

Evan and Allen were in the club chairman's generous office. They looked at each other and no one spoke.

After this silence lasted for a while, Evan changed his posture and leaned back on the back of the chair. The leather back made a creaking sound, breaking the silence inside the house.

"It's such a coincidence." Allen laughed. "When I booked this game, I didn't expect him to become the English coach."

"Isn't this good? As far as I know, there are many people in Nottingham who are very dissatisfied with his sudden departure. This game may be a way for them to vent their dissatisfaction."

"Do you like seeing this?" Allen asked.

Evan spread his hands: "It's better than letting those people protest at our doorstep all day long?" He suddenly held a press conference and had this meaning - to hinder the main responsibility to Don En. Now, his goal has basically been achieved. Although there are still voices against the club, it is too trivial compared to those voices who dislike Don En.

It can be said that Tony Doneen’s personality and consistent image in the media helped Evan Doggety. If it weren’t for his bad temper and bad image, the public would probably not have been so easy for him to point his finger at Done.

If Tang En always appeared in front of others as a good man, with a gentle and low-key personality and did not have so many enemies, how could he fall into such a field? Character determines destiny, and this is true.

Allen stood up and said goodbye: "Tomorrow's game... is full of expectations. We made a fortune. It was originally just an ordinary friendly match, but because of Tony. Everything was different. The outside was blocked by the reporters. Be careful of them when you go out later."

Evan smiled: "Excellent free advertising. We should all thank Tony."

Allen didn't answer the conversation and turned around and walked out.

Since Donn became the head coach of England, the happiest person is not those Dunn subway fans, but Mr. Carlspike.

It was as if he had regained the center of his life, and he would greet everyone on the TV station with a smile. Everyone who knew him shook his head behind his back. Living for Tony Donne, I really don’t know what Spike would feel if he knew this.

After the World Cup, the football program fell into a downturn. Originally, the game between England and Nottingham Forest was not an important game. Nottingham Forest was to be used to test its new lineup, and England would definitely not send out the main players. Such a game has no value for attention. But now it is different, because Tony Donn has become England's head coach.

The person on this topic is the news machine. Wherever he goes, the news will happen. Carlspike no longer has to worry about what he says on the show. Now, looking at the previous episodes of the shows he did, he really stuffed his head into his crotch - dry and tasteless, and his most proud witty words were gone. When he spoke, his eyes wandered, as if he didn't even know what his mouth was squirming up and down. Without Tang En, he didn't know what he should say.

Now there is no need to worry about these things anymore. Whether it is scolding or sarcasm, there is a target tree in front of him.

He walked into his independent office with a brisk pace, raised his feet gently and closed the door. Then he turned around casually, as if he was dancing. He turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a dart on the table, and threw it towards the office door.

With a "puff", the dart pierced into the dart board. The dart board was very special. Because it was a photo of Tony Donn smiling.

The dart was pierced on Don't's teeth and looked a bit funny.

Spike also laughed like Done in the photo: "Long time no see, Mr. Done. The England team is harder to take than Nottingham Forest."

In the photo, Tang En was still grinning, holding a dart in his mouth. He did not answer him.

"Tomorrow's game is very popular, the reason is very simple - Tony Donn is back. This time he returns to Nottingham as a guest." BBC reporter said to the camera camera with a microphone in his hand. The background behind him was a red behemoth - the Crimson Field.

Although there is still one day before the game, the parking lot outside the Crimson Field at the home of Nottingham Forest in Xindi is already full of broadcast cars. Many media gathered here just to report the news that Don Eun "goes home" as soon as possible.

The reactions of the fans, the reactions of the Nottingham Forest players... These are what reporters are desperately trying to know.

Tickets were sold one week in advance in this game, and 50,000 tickets were sold three days ago. If it were placed in a big city like Manchester, Liverpool or London, it is estimated that 60,000 would have been sold out long ago.

"The fans are very enthusiastic." The reporter walked up to the fans who were queuing up to buy tickets and planned to do a street interview.

A thin man appeared in the TV camera and shouted excitedly at the reporter's microphone, "We will welcome Tony very, very enthusiastically! This game will definitely make him unforgettable! Ahha!"

The reporter reappeared in the TV camera, and he smiled and said: "It seems that Tony Donn's influence is still very strong, and these fans are still missing him. Tomorrow's game must be very exciting!"

After the training, the players walked out of the training ground and prepared to go home with their clothes. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time flocked to surround them and must let them talk about tomorrow's game.

"This is just an ordinary friendly match." Captain George Wood pushed away the reporter who was blocking him with a cold face. He squeezed out.

The reporters shrugged. They aimed at other players again. They basically couldn't get what they needed from Wood's mouth.

"I'm looking forward to a reunion with the boss!" Pepe said the things the reporters wanted. Especially the title, there is so much article to do. If Martin O'Neal heard this, what would it be?

"This is a bit strange... I never thought I could become a match with him before." The man said this was Gareth Bale, and he was a little more steady, "But that must be a very interesting experience." He said it was nonsense, and saying it was equivalent to not saying it.

Most other players are ambivalent and are unwilling to talk about tomorrow's game. They hurriedly left after dealing with a few words. Even when signing autographs to the fans, they seemed absent-minded.

When Martin O'Neal got off the training ground, the players were almost gone, and some reporters were gathering there, waiting for him.

"I have nothing to talk about." O'Neal knew what they were going to ask, and raised his hands in advance and signaled. "I understand why you media are so interested, but for me, this is an ordinary friendly match. I don't care how you hype it, provided you don't affect my players."

But the reporter didn't want to let him go. “Hey, Martin. Do you have a great impact on you when you work here?”

O'Neal pursed his lips and refused to answer. In fact, he had to thank Don Eun for not mentioning Nottingham Forest very much, otherwise the pressure would be even greater. Even so, the influence of the former head coach is still everywhere, which makes him very upset. He must have been dizzy when he promised to take over the team and actually ignored Tony Don Eun's influence.

"Just one question, Mr. O'Neal. Can you evaluate Tony Donn?"

O'Neal pretended not to hear.

The reporter refused to give in and continued to ask: "Is there any conflict between you?"

O'Neal dared not pretend to not hear this question. If the reporters interpret it maliciously, his silence will really become "Martin O'Neal is dissatisfied with Tony Donne", and such news will throw himself to the forefront. He is not Donne, he doesn't like to be a news figure who is overly concerned by the media.

"No." He stopped and smiled. "I have always had a good relationship with Tony. He is a very good head coach, and it can be seen from the fact that he has won so many championships. As the new coach of Nottingham Forest, I hope to continue this glorious tradition."

He was still forced to answer the first question and put himself in a low position.

After saying this, he quickly walked out of the reporter's encirclement and left without caring about the clamor of the reporters behind.

Pierce Bruce was also pestering O'Neal's reporters. Looking at O'Neal's back as he quickly fled, he thought of Tony Donn in his heart.

From beginning to end, Tang En never showed up and said a word about this game, but it made so many people go crazy. At the same time, was that person hiding in the dark and laughing endlessly at the scene? He must be very proud, right? He left, and his terrifying influence made countless people willing to go crazy for him.
