Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 148 Tickets

    The hotel business in Madrid has gotten better, and it’s simply impossible to order an empty room at this time.  The main reason for this is Englishman.

    Since the first time the England National Team reached the finals of the World Series in 50 years, it has caused great repercussions in England. Many England fans who did not come to Spain's live-watching program have packed their bags and flew to Madrid.  Finals tickets have long been hard to find, but these Englishmans still want to be able to meet the refunders outside the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium Stadium.

    As for where there is no place to live? That's not a problem, in order to watch the ball, sleep on the street.  Many England fans carry tents with them, just like going camping in the deep forests.  The fanaticism of the England fans is evident.

    Due to the influx of a large number of England fans, the Madrid City Council had to issue an order to allow the parks to be open at night for camping for fans who did not book a hotel room.

    "I feel very happy when I see them!"In the seat of an open-air Pub, Slim Bill pointed to the row of spectacular colorful tents across the street, exclaiming.  "We don't have to sleep on the street, there are finals tickets!"

    His voice was a little bigger and immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.  John found that each of them had an eager light in his eyes. He knew that those people had no tickets yet, and that when they heard any tickets, they would become very sensitive.

    "Small voice, stupid! Do you want us to be besieged? ”John took a picture on Bill's head.

    “Ewww.”Bill curled his neck and bowed his head to drink.  But when he was not honest for a while, he stretched out again: "There are still five hours from the start of the game. Time is really hard…Why don't we go to the hotel in the England team like everyone else? Maybe you still have to sign the player…"

    John glanced at him: "Have you forgotten what kind of person Toni is? Don't say fans at this time, even the Journalist is driven far away by him. Do you think that you can get any gains? ”

    "Ah, also…Every time Nottingham Forest FC has finals.  This is the case.  Hello, do you say that Toni will be nervous? ”

    "tension?"Others are puzzled.

    "Yeah, although he is not the rookie coached on the first day, it is, after all, his first finals as National Team Manager, and it is the Euro Cup finals we have never won.  ”

    When Bill said this, everyone thought about it.  Someone muttered for a long while: "Who has seen Toni nervous?"

    He looked at everyone, and everyone turned back and shook his head.

    "I don't think Toni is afraid of anyone.  On the first day, I went to Burns's Pub and dared to fight with Michael, haha! To know that Michael is our famous fight! ”Someone laughed.

    But when it comes to Michael.  Everyone’s emotion suddenly sank.  They all remembered this old friend who had not seen him for a long time.  Today, he is working hard for his family business in the United States of America. I don't know if he is still paying attention to football. Do you know that the England team has broken into the Euro Cup finals.  Each of them is a fanatic fan, but the story that football brings to each of them is different, and the sadness that brought Michael was only once, but it was unforgettable.

    The person who spoke also realized that he had mentioned the name he should not mention. He laughed a few times and bowed his head to drink and cover up.

    "I know that Toni is playing the finals every time the team hits.  He will send a ticket to Michael.  Unfortunately, since he resigned from the Forest team, there is no such opportunity. I don’t know if this time will be the same. ”Fat John took the initiative to mention their old friends.

    John mentioned the past, but everyone is more and more silent.  It seems that I am thinking about whether the old friends on the other side of the globe have received tickets.

    Michael wears a suit at the door.  The briefcase is placed next to it.  It’s seven o'clock in the morning at United States of America, and he got to work.

    The wife took the child and sent him at the door.

    "If there is no entertainment at night, I will come back for dinner…"He kissed his wife but was escaped by his wife.

    "Today, you have to come back to eat anyway.  "The wife glared at him.  "You don't even remember the birthday of Shannon?"

    "Ahhhh…"Michael’s face showed a sorry expression.

    "What are you thinking about these days, Michael? Always absent-minded.  You can go to the temple when you eat.  The wife complained dissatisfied.

    "Sorry, the work is too busy.  Recently, the company seems to have some adjustments and pressure."Michael can only be comforted.  "When I am busy this time, I must take a few days off to accompany your mother and daughter to go out to play.  "When it comes to this, he squeezes the pink daughter's face that his wife is holding."  "Sorry, Shannon.  Dad forgot your birthday.  Don't be angry.  ”

    The three-year-old girl replied with a milky voice: "No—-"

    Michael laughed at his wife: "You see, our little princess is not angry.  ”

    "I really can't help you.  "The wife grinned helplessly, this time she took the initiative to send a kiss."

    After an affectionate kiss, Michael opened the door and went out.

    Sitting in his own Ford, Michael is waiting for the green light at the intersection.  With his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes caught the black briefcase on the front passenger seat.  My wife’s observations are so careful that he is really absent-minded these days, but not because of the pressure of work.  Busy is definitely busy.  But I have been so busy for so many years, and I have not seen him forget his son Gavin.The anniversary of Bernard.

    The reason for his uneasy feelings in the past few days is lying quietly in his briefcase.

    Michael looked up at the traffic lights in front of him.  This time the red light seems to be a bit long, and the traffic jam is normal at work.  He simply took the briefcase and pulled out an envelope from it.  The handwriting on the envelope is very familiar, and seeing the word is like seeing his face.

    Michael unpacked the envelope and took out the inside stuff – a ticket to the Euro Cup finals.

    American's enthusiasm for football is still very small compared to Europe. They are even more indifferent to the Euro Cup football game, which has nothing to do with United States of America. The news has rarely been reported on the news.  Some time ago, the media were paying attention to the total finals of NBA. The Lakers and the 76ers fight for you.  Let the world's basket fans be crazy, here and Europe are like two completely different worlds.

    Michael is not a basket of fans, not before, not now, and it is not expected to be in the future.  But he hasn't cared about football for a long time.  Now that I see this ticket, he knows that Tony Twain will lead the England team to the Euro Cup finals.

    This is a happy thing, after all, the England team has not scored any finals in the world competition for 50 years.  However, this ticket has evoked more memories, and it does not belong to England at all.  It is also not a memory of the Euro Cup.

    His commitment to his wife was still obeyed, so in the current two years, when Twain no longer sent him tickets for finals, his life had nothing to do with football.  Like any ordinary person, he works hard every day to promote and support his family.  Three years ago, his wife gave him a daughter, and the family’s focus shifted to her daughter.Bernard.  He loves his daughter and devoted all his love.  I don't want Gavin's story to happen to Shannon.  The wife also loves her daughter very much. Every time she sees her daughter's innocent smile, she can forget the pain of losing her son.

    However, after a lapse of two years, a ticket from the mainland of Europe made Michael think of the years when he was crazy about football.

    He began to seriously consider the noon break, there is no place to let him watch a ball without being disturbed.

    The harsh horn sounded awakened Michael in his memory.  He discovered that the signal light in front had turned green, and the back had long been blocked into a long dragon.  The whistling sound of the whistle is urging the bastard in front.

    Michael put the ticket back in the envelope and moved the car out of it.

    Chrislake stands alone in a quiet cemetery.  There are very few people here, and the thick shades cover the sky.  The temperature is one or two degrees lower than the outside, and occasionally there are a few birds singing, and no other creatures can hear the sound.

    This is only his second time, the first time in Gavin.Bernard's funeral.  All members of the Nottingham Forest FC were present, and even the old Club Chairman, who was old and frustrated, sent his assistant. His Green Youth Team coach was naturally absent.

    He has never been here since then.  For some people, the child who died that day was one of the most important people in their lives, but for David Chrislake.  He doesn't feel that way.

    Two days ago, Chrislake, who was on vacation at home, suddenly received a call from Twain.  On the phone, Twain asked Chrislake to do him a favor, because Twain used to do it himself, but now Twain is far from Spain, he can't drop the team and fly back to Nottingham, only in Nottingham. My friend helped.

    The next day Chrislake received an express delivery with a ticket.

    Today  He came here to give Gavin .Bernard sent the ticket.

    Well of course!  He did not forget to buy a bunch of flowers, this is not Twain's request.  Since you are looking at Gavin.  Then sending flowers is a necessary etiquette.

    When the flowers were carefully placed in front of the tombstone, Chrislake also noticed the small print below the tombstone.

    He suddenly felt that things were impermanent.  Nottingham Forest FC's most loyal fans have been sleeping here, and he has left the Forest team, which has been working for more than a decade, and is still at home.

    Twain doesn't know if he will come back, but maybe the time that belongs to Nottingham Forest FC in his life has come to an end. He has to seriously consider the invitations of several other clubs.

    "Gavin.  I was still chatting with you for the first time. I didn't expect this to be the case.  Chrislake smiled and laughed. "Toni asked me to give you a ticket. I also want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to you."  Thank you for your support of the team, but you are sad to see the current Nottingham Forest FC? I tried my best, but it’s a pity…This is also good, at least we still stay in the Premier League.  Think about fourteen years ago, we are still struggling in the first division.  Perhaps this is the positioning of Nottingham Forest FC. No team can win and win. No team can always rule European Football.  We have done it before, there is nothing to regret.  ”

    He pulled the ticket out and ignited it with a lighter according to the method Twain said, waiting until the flame burned to the tip of his finger.  The ball that burned into a black ash floated down and fell on the flowers to complete the ashes.

    "It’s good to be a fan simply…Goodbye, Gavin, remember to look at finals.  ”

    Chrislake waved to the tombstone and turned to the cemetery exit.

    A gust of wind behind him, blowing the flowers in front of the tombstone, also blew the black ashes, the dense woods made a rustling sound, as if to say goodbye to Chrislake.

    Tang Jing sat on her husband's legs and spoiled. Their son had just been taken back to China's hometown and handed over to his grandparents.  The couple can enjoy the world of two people.  In her plan, she wants to have a romantic candlelight dinner with her husband tonight, and then put on the newly bought lingerie, and her husband is lingering in bed.

    However, her plan was blocked by her husband without saying anything.

    "At the end of the game, I can finally be undisturbed.  "Tang holding Tang Jing suddenly came to this sentence, Tang Jing's heart suddenly cooled."

    "It’s not a Chinese Team game. What do you think?"

    "I am a football coach. I have to master any football-related information.  "Tang is also very surprised why Tang Jing asks questions that are not level."

    Tang Jing gave him a look.  "But people are tonight…"She wants to say something, and Tang must know what she means.

    Sure enough, Tang knew it, but the reaction made her very angry.

    "That can be every night, Euro Cup finals only once in four years…"

    Tang Jing was so angry that he was so angry that he had to admit that the sentence itself was fine.  It is true that sex can be done every night, and the next Euro Cup finals will have to wait for four years.

    "You…You can't watch the video! ”

    "The video will of course be seen, but the live broadcast is also very important…"Tang still insists on his own principles – football is more important than sex in this evening.

    Tang Jing stood up angrily from Tang's thigh and never forgot to squat on Don's shoulder.  The painful squeaky look of Tang’s pain did not alleviate the resentment of Tang Jing’s heart.

    She has decided to interfere when watching the game in Tang.

    For the simple Tang, tonight is the night of football.  But for Tang Jing, this evening is the battle for her to compete with her football for her husband. She wants to see if she is more attractive or more attractive.

    And the old lady grabs the man? I want to make you look good, football!
