Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 29—Long live your Majesty

    "At this time, there are still people asking for votes…"In the camera lens, outside the Crimson Arena, there are a lot of Forest fans who hold the "I need a ticket" brand.

    "It feels like a world Cup finals.  ”

    "Just to see the return of Tony Twain, and a ticket is hard to find…Although leaving the Forest team for more than four years, Twain's popularity has not lost.  ”

    "If it wasn't for the achievements of the Forest team in those years, it would be too bad. Maybe people who want him will not have so much.  ”

    "You sound a bit sour.  You have to think so, if it weren't for his departure, the Nottingham Forest FC in these years will definitely not be a big joke in the English Premier League.  He is the guarantee of Champion and the trophy.  This is why we have chosen this game as a national broadcast. With him, there is a rating.  ”

    The staff of the two bbcTV stations are sitting in the OB van and watching the monitors chat.

    In front of them is a monitor wall, and dozens of monitor windows show every corner of the Stadium.  In the monitor showing the Stadium doorway and the square, the person seeking the ticket can be seen everywhere.

    Inside the Stadium, there are already fans who have entered the game more than an hour in advance.  They are hanging slogans on the Robin Hood stand to prepare for the game for a while.

    Pierce .Bruce found a situation.

    Since he became the sports journalist of the Nottingham Evening Post, he has not missed every home game of Nottingham Forest FC.  But today, this situation still makes him feel very special, because he saw a lot of white-haired old fans in the fans who entered the market.  Most of these fans are old guys who have followed the Forest team for decades. They have witnessed the most brilliant years of the Forest team and the darkest time of the Forest team.

    However, with the increase of age, they have rarely seen them come to watch the game in the past few years. Although every season ticket is bought, there is really no energy to go to the scene.  The place full of noise and blood.  It is the enemy of the health of the elderly.

    But today, he saw so many white-haired fans at the door.

    One of the media from London was interviewing at the door, and they apparently noticed the white-haired fans who came together.

    "At your current age, should you watch the game at home?"A young female journalist took a few of the old men and handed the microphone up.

    A few old guys looked at each other and grinned, revealing a gap.

    "We are looking at old friends.  "The oldest man, the tallest man, replied.

    An old friendFemale journalist feels weird.  She is not a Nottingham, and there is really no way to understand the feelings of Nottingham Forest FC fans about Twain.

    See her doubts.  A chunky chunky old fan smiled at her: "Beautiful Miss, are you not a local?"

    Female Journalist shook her head: "I am a London man…"

    "You must not be a fan of Nottingham Forest FC, ha! Nottingham Forest FC fans Old friends in addition to Toni, who else? ”

    Looking at the expression of this female journalist, several old guys licked each other's shoulders and sang the songs written by Nottingham Forest FC fans to Tony Twain, and entered the entrance channel.

“……We have a robot man, he has the heart of nuclear power! Never tire of tiredness.  Absolutely not convinced…He is very hateful, but we love him! Because he can bring us Champion, the enemy hates him, hate him! ……Toni Toni! People love and hate the bastard, hahaha! ”

    "This song sounds weird…"Female Journalist frowned and muttered.  "Not at all.  Just come out…"

    "It was like this.  A man next to her answered her question.  "It was just the things that the fans had picked up in the stands, and they added some melody."  Fans think that no melody is worthy of Toni, so they simply express their emotions in the simplest way.  ”

    The female journalist looked puzzled at this uninvited guest.

    The other party is generously reaching out to the female journalist's doubtful eyes: "Pierce.Bruce.  The Journalist of the Nottingham Evening Post is the best person in the media who knows Tony Twain.  Pleased to meet you.  Beautiful Miss.  ”

    If Twain knows that Bruce is actually carrying his own banner to pick up the girl, the expression on his face must be wonderful.

    Now he has no thoughts to consider other people, so that he only has his own home game.

    Is he nervous? No, but his heartbeat is indeed a bit faster.  But that is because of excitement.

    Just like a wanderer who has been away from home for decades, he finally has to go home.  This is his first time as the Nottingham Forest FC Manager, where he directed the competition at Crimson Arena.  Previously, I was in the Crimson Arena competition as the England team manager. Although the fans at that time also gave him a lot of support, the feeling is not the same as it is now.

    The England team only occasionally borrowed Crimson Arena.  The real home is the new Wembley Stadium.

    The current Crimson Arena is his home, his home.

    For the purpose of this Stadium, he tightened his belt for several years. He searched the cheap players from all over the world, and then sold his excellent players who worked hard to get the club in exchange for funds.  However, when the new Stadium was built, he did not lead the Forest team to play a game here. It must be said that it was a pity.

    Now this regret is about to be made up.  He will lead the team in this Stadium, which has been soaked in his hard work, until the season ends.

    "We should set off.  Head.  Eastwood stood next to Twain and yelled.  He noticed that Twain has been in a state of ecstasy since the beginning.  What did he think of?

    ‘Ah –? Oh…the players are all down? ”Twain looked up at Assistant Coach Eastwood in front of him.

    "Yes.  They are all in the car.  ”

    Twain stood up and put his coat on his body.

    "Let's go, Freddy.  ”

    "Tony Twain has boarded the car.  The car slowly drove out of the hotel…Driving to Crimson Arena…We will continue to follow the story for the audience…"The television journalist waiting outside the hotel said to the camera with great excitement that behind him was the Reds bus that was leaving the hotel, which was the bus of Nottingham Forest FC.

    The distance from the hotel to the Stadium is only ten kilometers away.  However, on this road, the police car cleared the way, and there were car tracking shots of the journalists.  This scene has not been seen by the Forest team players for several years, and they all know who the focus of these journalists is.

    Sitting in the front seat of the bus, Twain is chatting with Chrislake and Eastwood.

    Through the window on the left, they can already see the ceiling of Crimson Arena The Reds.

    "Welcome home, head!"Eastwood pointed to the front of the Crimson Arena and said to Twain.

    Chrislake next to him also laughed, and he was home.

    When the Reds bus arrived in the square, it caused a commotion. The police officers responsible for maintaining the order of the scene were almost unstoppable.  Those fans who have not yet entered the market.  The fans who are still waiting for the tickets flocked to the bus at Nottingham Forest FC, and they shouted loudly the name of Tony Twain.

    "Toni! Toni! Toni! Toni! ! ”

    "Welcome back, Toni!!"

    "Or go home, okay? Toni? ! ”

    "Toni, I love you!!"

……

    "It’s a long-lost madness…"Eastwood looked at the excited fans outside, muttering.

    Thiago Silva looked at the fans outside the window, his face was gloomy.  He is also a popular star player in the Forest team, but he has never been able to compete with this time.

    He remembered some time ago when the old players talked about Twain.  He has said many times that he is "the majesty of the king."  At that time, he also sneered at it and thought that it was just Twain's self-promotion. This person just likes hype.

    But look at the scene today, the expressions on the faces of those fans…This is just a small group of people outside of Stadium.  More fans have already entered the Stadium, waiting there.

    Can I really do it right with this person? Can you really wait for such an opportunity?

    In his heart, he gave a suspicion of his previous thoughts.

    No!

    Soon he re-stabilized his mind.  The more these fans admire him.  The more he likes him, the more hurt he is when he loses at home, the more disappointing Twain is.  Here is the symbiosis of heaven and hell.  They can let him go to heaven and let him go to hell.

    Although Silva does not understand Chinese and knows nothing about Chinese culture, he knows that “the water can carry a boat and can overturn the boat” is really simple.

    The bus stopped at the entrance, the players sprinted around, surrounded by journalists and fans, and the police were struggling to stop the over-excited fans and journalist.  Twain is in the car.  Wait until everyone gets off the bus before leaving.  If it is his first to go on, then the player behind him does not want to leave here, the order of the scene must be chaotic.

    This is the case now.  Under the guards of the four police officers, Twain squeezed from the crowd to the entrance of the passage. On the way, people continued to extend the microphone, mobile phone, voice recorder, and interview machine to him, and others patted his body with his hands.

    This road is only a short ten meters, but Twain is very embarrassed…

    "How do you feel when you go home? Toni! ”When he finally reached the passage, he yelled behind him.

    He didn't look back.  Just raise your right hand.  Thumbs back.  Then he got into the urging of the police.

    "Good crazy…It seems that the Rock Superstar is here to open a concert…"Beautiful young woman journalist looks at this scene in front of her eyes.  I also have to sigh.

    Bruce, standing next to her, smiled and said with a little pride: "The most successful Manager in the history of England football has gone home, and of course the family should be welcome.  ”

    The female journalist looked back at him.

    "But you can't think of a successful Manager, how much it was originally, ha!"Bruce laughed.  "When he appeared in the game, he only greeted him with his snoring and middle finger.  ”

    Female Journalist gently shook his head: "It's hard to imagine…"

    Bruce pointed to the fans who were still unwilling to disperse: "For them, Toni is synonymous with a whole era, from 2003 to 2018.  Fifteen years of memories are here.  ”

    Bruce who said this was also caught in his own memories.  At the beginning, he was still a savage intern journalist. The twenty-four-year-old boy who graduated from college had nothing to understand and had no experience.  Tony Twain was degraded and ridiculed at the journalist conference, and they seemed to be enemies.  Who ever thought that he would write an autobiography for this person in the future?

    The female journalist looked back at the middle-aged man. His gaze was cast into the distance, but there was no focus, and there was a smile in his mouth.

    "It also includes your memories.  Right? Bruce Mr.? ”

    Bruce took his eyes back and looked at the young intern journalist who had just graduated from college as he did, and nodded.

    "Yes, Elena Miss.  Reminiscence about youth.  ”

    "defensive counter.attack, guys!!"Twain clenched his fists in the locker room and took the time to repeat the highlights of yesterday's Tactics meeting for his players.  "Long pass rush! Don't worry about how those laymen criticize, you know what we need most now.  Not a good offensive match.  It is not a beautiful heel pass, but a goal and victory! Middlesbrough FC will be pressing us in the midfield, especially George, you will get their focus on…"Twain points to Wood who is changing clothes.

    Wood nodded and continued to put jersey on his body.

    "So I ask you not to hold the ball too much in the midfield.  Passing more than three feet in the midfield has great risks.  I don't want to see a scene like this – you come back to the foot in the midfield, then send the football to the opponent's feet and let them sit on the counter.attack.  Whether it's George or Fernando (Gago), this game is in the backcourt.  Don't go too far in the middle line and use long passes to organize the offense.  Two sideways…"

    He points to the two sides of the forward Cris that are starting today.Cohen and Vijnadum.

    "Your mission today is the most important. You need to continually sprint back and forth. You must press it when you attack. You must return when you defend."  If you can't do it, I will change you down! Anyway, there are a lot of people I want to play here.  ”

    There was a sneer in the locker room.

    Twain also laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious in the music, and there was no tension.  This is the pre-match atmosphere he wants.

    "Two Strikers…"This time I stopped the action in my hand.  The people who watched Twain were Mitchel and Balotelli, who were the starting Strikers of the game.  "Aron, you should try to push the other's Defender line forward and press them to the front door to create enough space for Mario.  ”

    Twain didn't deceive Balotelli. In this game he did give Balotelli enough trust and the corresponding responsibility.

    "Mario, thanks to the ups and downs of your previous few seasons, our opponents are not too tight on your mark…"Hear this sentence.  Some people are worried that Balotelli will be upset.  But what surprised them was the face of Twain's teasing.  Balotelli also laughed at him and didn't care what Twain said before.  This scene is too rare. To know that Balotelli is very sensitive, he is very concerned about others' evaluation of himself.  If anyone dares to say that his ability is not good, it is a parallel product, he will certainly let the other side suffer.  But look at it now, it seems that the head has already got the thorn in the locker room…"And they think that you will habitually move on the right side.  This game is your chance to prove yourself again, man.  We all know that you are Genius, but people outside don't think so.  Give them awesome! You are 'Super Mario'! ”

    Finally, I talked about the defense.

    "Man, you are the starting Defender in this game, you are the key to this game.  Twain stood in front of four starting Defenders, who were left Defender Joe.Matok, right Defender En.Kuru, Middle Defender Sacco and Jørgensen.

    "I want you to strictly guard your own defense zone, and Defender will not allow Assists to come forward."  In addition to positioning the ball, it is not allowed to use the match-to-man defense.  But you should also pay attention to the defense in the backcourt – you can't blindly make a big break.  Defence is the birthplace of the offense, and all offense comes from defense.  It can be said that you are not only Defender who can only destroy the opponent's attack, you are still the first stop of the attack.  So I don't want to faint you to waste any chance of attack.  After breaking the ball, they handed the football to the midfield player, who organized the offense.  ”

    "No problem, head.  "Mattok answered Twain's words on behalf of all Defender.

    Twain slaps a slap: "There is so much to say.  If I say more.  You must be guilty of me.  Finally, I hope that you know one thing: Although we lost the ball in the last round of the league, it is not the reason why we have abandoned ourselves in this round of league.  No matter what the circumstances, my request to you is very simple – except for victory, I don't want anything.  ”

    When Twain finished talking about it, and ten minutes before the start of the game, he let the players rest themselves.  He was called out.

    The person who told him to go out was not a staff member, but the chairman of the Club, Evan.Doughty.

    Next to him, stood a young man.  It seems that it is less than thirty years old.

    "My son, Bob.  Come and meet your idol, Tony Twain.  Evan pulled the young man around him and pointed to Twain and said to him.

    "Hello! Twain Mr., I am your admirer…"The young man quickly stepped forward and pulled Twain's hand.

    "Ahhhh……Ha, hello, Bob…"Twain is so passionate about himself as the chairman's son.  Some can't adapt.

    Evan also seems to see that Twain is a little embarrassed. He has quickly taken away his son: "If you want to sign, the game is over.  Go ahead, I still have something.  ”

    Bob didn't seem to dare to disobey his father. He turned around and walked away.

    "At the beginning, your father introduced you to me. He and your performance at that time were completely different.  Twain watched Bob's back return to normal.  He smiled and talked about the past.  Evan fifteen years ago.Doughty can't distinguish between "Manager" and "Coach". The understanding of football is almost equal to zero.  And now Bob.Doughty is an avid fan…

    In addition, Nigel.When Doughty introduced Evan to Twain, he already had the exit line and let his son take over.  Now he is re-applying.  Introducing his son to Twain also meant to Twain that his son would take over later.  Just that…

    Why introduce yourself to the new Manager instead of the next season? Did he think he could help his son?

    "He fell in love with football or because of you, Toni.  Since you became the Forest team manager, he followed me to watch the Forest team and fell in love with the sport.  ”

    Twain laughed.  "You specifically called me out of the locker room just to introduce your baby son to me, Evan?"

    "Of course not. In fact, I have something else to look for.  But he is known, he must follow…That's it, Toni.  You don't want to enter the team with the team, you can play now.  ”

    Twain is a bit strange: "Why? It’s still early from the start of the game…”

    "We have prepared a special welcome ceremony for you, you have to play alone, Toni.  Evan smiled at Twain.

    "What ceremony?"

    "When you go, you know, Toni.  Let's go, everyone is waiting for you.  ”

    Twain looked at the locker room.  Turn around and push the door open.  Assistant Coach David Chrislake, who stood at the door, told a few words to let him bring the team together.  Ready to appear.  Then he followed Evan.Doughty walked together to the ramp to the Stadium.

    Just after he left, the players also rushed out of the locker room at the urging of Chrislake, heading for the ramp and preparing to line up for admission.

    When Twain walked to the ramp, only three referee waited there. When they saw Twain coming, one of them reached out to Twain and shook hands.

    In any case, Twain is the Manager who led the England team to the World Cup Champion. The results are still worthy of respect.

    Twain and the referee shook hands and found Evan still beside him, then turned and asked: "Isn't that what you said, 'Special welcome ceremony'?"

    Evan shook his head and patted Twain's shoulder: "You will know when you go out."  You have to go by yourself on this road.  Toni.  I am sorry I can't accompany you…"

    Twain looked back at Evan .Doughty, Doughty made a gesture of moving forward, so he walked out in confusion.  Of course he didn't forget to shrink his neck – he was afraid that someone would pour water on him in the stands…

    This is the only special welcome ceremony that he can think of in his poor head…

    But no, no water, no ribbons.  Twain, who walked out, narrowed his neck and looked at the stands on both sides, only to see the fans who were familiar with it.

    At the same time, the music that was originally playing in the live broadcast stopped abruptly, and a slightly old voice shouted with passion: "Now! Let us welcome…His Majesty the King -! ! ”

    It is like a signal bomb.  His voice did not fall, and there was a huge cheer in the Crimson Arena.  The fans all stood up, facing the entrance, extending their hands and making a prayer, and the mouth was still shouting: "Long live your majesty!!"

    Twain looked back in surprise and found that Evan in the martyrdom was doing exactly the same actions as those fans.

    "Long live your majesty -!!!"

    The cheers are higher than the waves.

    This is really a special welcome ceremony…

    Twain returned to normal, and he naturally waved to the fans in the stands.  Then stalked into the Stadium.

    With his footsteps, the cheers continued without stopping.

    For such a cheer, he did not humbly refuse to be modest, but frankly accepted.  He can afford to be called like this, and he can afford the cheers of these fans.  Because he is indeed the King of the King here!

    When Twain came to the center of the field, the cheers continued.  The players just arrived at the crossing.  They have heard the cheers of the fans and they have seen the head in the middle of the field.  For the cheers like this, the old players are not surprised.  Instead, they put together and smiled at Twain.  And the players who never played under Twain were completely shocked.

    At this time, at the top of the Robin Hood stand, a giant slogan was dropped.  On the curtain of The Reds is a word that makes Twain feel warm:

    Welcome home, kneel!

    "This is really a dream trip…"The TV commentator sighed that he felt as if he was in a dream.  How can such a scene happen on the football field? Now in this era of football becoming more and more commercial, how many people can enjoy such a sincere greeting?

    "This game is the focus of this round of the English Premier League, while Tony Twain is the focus of the focus!"In the huge cheers, the commentator had to raise the volume.  It seems as if someone in the home team has scored the ball.

    "I have a feeling that if Tony Twain announces that he is going to run for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he can get more than half of the votes in Nottingham, and the others don't have to canvass!"

    "Even if the queen is coming, I am afraid there is no way to steal the limelight from him…No, even if it is the Pope, it will not work.  ”

    "Remember the night of coronation ten years ago?"His Majesty the King is definitely not his self-styled, nor the boring hype of the media.  That’s the truth!  He is indeed the King of the King here! ”

    "Although many people hate him.  But here, he still enjoys the kingly treatment.  The return is correct.  Toni! See if there are so many people who love you, retirement is not the day you should live, ha! ”John .Mortensen laughed.

    Twain stood in the middle of the field, turned around in the circle, and waved to the Forest on the four sides to pay tribute to the fans.  Thanks for the "special welcome ceremony" they prepared.  To be honest, he was very touched.  Although it has been more than four years away from here, his local people still love him, and this kind of love is the main reason why he finally decided to end his retirement and return to Forest.

    People are emotional, even if they used to be Evan.Doughty and Allen .Adams has hurt himself, but these fans are innocent and the Forest team is innocent.  His return is not for Evan.Doughty, not to make money, he just couldn't bear to see those who once said to himself in the stands: "Hey, Toni! Come back with the Champion trophy! ”The fans are sad, and he has no conscience about this decision.

    So in the face of the crazy cheers of these fans, he accepted it for granted.

    Among the cheering crowds are Twain's familiar fat John and the thin Bill's group, as well as the white-haired old guys Bruce had seen before, and even some Middlesbrough FC fans who followed the Forest fans. Volatility, in the eyes of all England fans, this guy probably should be "King of the King"…

    The loud cheers that rang through the clouds lasted for five or six minutes and were clearly heard outside the Stadium.

    The fans who couldn't enter the square also shouted "Long live your majeur!!" with the people inside, causing other pedestrians to pay attention to them.

    Cheers at Twain headed for the visiting team coach and visiting team manager Toni .Mowbray stopped slowly after shaking hands until it disappeared.

    After the game, I was curious about the journalist to ask Mowbray and ask him what he thought about this scene before the game today.  Mowbray shook his head and said: "There is only one 'Toni' today, but not me.  ”

    He is right. Today he is a complete supporting role, although he thought about being the protagonist before the game.  But when he saw this scene, the mind was gone.

    In the subsequent competition, the Nottingham Forest FC team was obviously infected by this scene. The whole team dropped the mentality of the past and gave off a surprising and fearful fighting spirit.  Under the long-term rushing of Twain and the unexpected Tactics arrangement, a huge amount of combat power broke out.

    Coupled with the huge noise created by 60,000 fans.

    Middlesbrough FC surrendered in 17 minutes as if it were taking off in a jet plane.

    They were scored three goals in the first half by Nottingham Forest FC and lost to the reborn Nottingham Forest FC with a 0:3 score.

    After the game, the media made a joke and was able to experience the return of Twain's Majesty. Even if he lost, he would be a famous name.  When talking about the English Premier League classics in the future, there must be a shot of Middlesbrough FC.

    Pierce .Bruce even used such a title after the game:

    "I am back, I saw it, I conquered.  》

    No one objected to this because it was.

    All previous arguments about Tony Twain and the argument that "Twain is out of date" and "Twain is no longer good" disappeared. The national media only left all the yangko and praise.  Size media and commentators, experts and celebrities have said that the most dominant Tony Twain and Nottingham Forest FC are back. Under their iron hooves, opponents can only cry for mercy, and Middlesbrough FC is unfortunate and honored to do it. The first victim was brought to the flag by Twain.

    Although Nottingham Forest FC won the game, it was still ranked 16th, but even the top teams felt the chill from behind.

    No one is facing the Forest team, laughing that he will definitely win.  Because the group of wolves lurking in Forest showed their fangs again.  Tony Twain and his Nottingham Forest FC are no longer jokes. On the contrary, those who have previously vowed to swear to them are now the biggest jokes.  However, Twain did not conduct counter.attack on the media in front of those who laughed at himself.

    The king returned, and the eight parties came to the DPRK.

    Twain laughed at the wind.

    In fact, in his current identity, he personally took the sleeves to go to the slap in the face, but also too much price…
