Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 30—The Innocent King

    The media is full of news about Twain's return to victory, no one is tired of it.  Whether it is someone who likes him or someone who hates him, there is no way to deny this – he can't be ignored.

    Putting everything that has been invented since humans have written it on Twain is one of the things that media journalists like most in the past few days.  Now Twain is very popular, and his good words can attract more readers and viewers.

    It is another thing that complements it.  After entering December, the United Kingdom royal family issued a notice announcing the list of people who will receive the Queen's honour on January 1 next year.  The name of Tony Twain is impressive.

    United Kingdom has two awards each year, one on the first day of the year and the other on the Queen's birthday.  In recognition of the people who have made outstanding contributions to the United Kingdom in various fields, such as the cultural and sports economy, the Knights Medal was awarded.  Many people in the football world have been awarded honours. This is not a great thing.

    But around Twain, the controversy about whether he should accept the honour has always existed.  In fact, after Twain led the Nottingham Forest FC to win the Triple Crown, it was suggested that Tony Twain should be awarded a honour in recognition of his outstanding contributions.  To know that the old man of Scotland, Ferguson, was awarded the Knight's Medal after leading Manchester United FC to win the Triple Crown. As the most successful person among England's local coaches, how could Twain not be awarded?

    However, this proposal was opposed by many people at the time.  The reasons for the opposition are ridiculous – opponents believe that the Triple Crown is not enough for Twain to be awarded the Order of the Knights.  In fact, this is an excuse. Ferguson was also awarded the Knight Medal after taking the Triple Crown. Why is it not enough to get to Twain? In fact, the real reason is not to say that Twain's achievements are not enough to honor the honour, but because of his hatefulness and his disgusting suspicion. Many people think that if the Knight Medal is given to such an unobtrusive person, there is indeed Losing the country…

    This sounded inexplicable, but at the time it got the support of many people.  It even included the then Sports Minister and Prime Minister himself.  This shows how bad Tony Twain is in this country.

    Fortunately, Twain is not interested in the award.  He led the National Team to never sing the national anthem. What is a honour? So the debate surrounding whether he is qualified to accept the "Jazz" title continues, and he himself turns a deaf ear.  After being awarded the title of Knight and Jazz, he could not make more money for him, nor could he let his heart disease recover completely overnight. There is no such thing as a virtual name.

    Later, he led the England team to the Champion, the first Euro Cup in the history of the country. The honours were once again raised by the media.  Supporters believe that the history of Champion is always qualified to let Twain be awarded? No, the opponent does not say that his achievements are too low this time.  It is straightforward to say that Twain’s speech is not in line with the rules of the British Empire.  Does Tony Twain not despise authority? Then naturally, there is no need to award the authority medal to him…

    The opposition’s power is still strong, and Twain himself has not fought for it, so this matter is yellow again.

    But Twain supporters are not reconciled.  They even set up a group called for the Twain honour, called the "Twain Knights", which appeared to the public from time to time and shouted for Twain's honour.

    After the World Cup in 2018, things finally turned around.

    "If a person leads the Club to get Champion that almost all Clubs can get, then lead the National Team to the highest honor of all National Team levels.  He can't be awarded the Knight's Medal by the Queen, so this must be a big scandal in the British Empire! ”It is not a certain media to say this, but a member of the United Kingdom Parliament.

    This sentence kicked off the third call for Twain.

    Three European Champion Cups, three English Premier League League Title trophies, and an England EFL League Cup.  A FA Cup, two Community Shield Cup Champion Awards, two UEFA Super Cups, and a World Club Cup.  An Euro Cup, a Confederation Cup, and a World Cup.

    The Notting Evening Post even published a special issue, which featured all the photos of the honors Twain had received, and then questioned the opponents: "If these honors and contributions do not allow Tony Twain to be awarded the jazz title, then Do you think there are still a few people in the United Kingdom who are eligible to be awarded?"

    The Times also published an editorial that pointed out that in today's United Kingdom society, Honorary Lord is depreciating more and more, and the amount of gold is getting lower and lower.  Originally, there is only one use of honor incentives. With the large number of seals every year, even the most basic intentions of this point are becoming more and more rare.  Even if someone donates a large sum of money to the government, they will be able to get the Knight's Medal. Such a person who wins a knight or a knight's medal can only make the prestige of the United Kingdom royal family decline, and eventually it is not known.  In this context, some people who have made outstanding contributions to the government and the country cannot be honored for such reasons. This is a great irony and sorrow.

    Although the name of Twain is not mentioned throughout the social assessment.  But the fool can see that they are standing on the side of Twain.  Because of this year.  To say that you can make a significant contribution, you can't run Twain.  He led the team after winning the World Cup Champion in Australia.  Not only greatly encouraged the confidence of the British people, but also greatly enhanced the reputation of the United Kingdom, and even stimulated the economic development of the United Kingdom.  This kind of achievement, but even the award of the honour is subject to controversy, it really makes people feel inexplicable.

    There are even people who write to the Queen and ask her to honour Twain.

    It is with these people's efforts that Twain's name appears on the list of honours, and it is said that the Queen is personally making a decision.

    But Twain didn't mean to appreciate it…

    Twain knew that at the top of the country, many people didn't like him long after the first honour proposal was rejected.  However, he did not like this country.  As a traditional Chinese mainlander who lives in the British body, he is not interested in the kind of honour, nor has he ever thought of enthusiasm for this right.

    The second honour was rejected, which further strengthened Twain’s disdain for the royal family and the contempt for the so-called honorary lord.  last century.  Perhaps this Lord is still a bit attractive. Now it has become a casual thing. All the cats and dogs can be honoured. Then, what else do you need to lick your face and harden it? Twain has never been a person who likes to join in the fun.

    This is the third time…His supporters finally pushed him to the list of honours, but he was uninterested in this farce.

    "I have to call you Uncle Jazz in the future?"Shania took the list published in the newspaper and teased her husband.

    Twain shrugged and gave her an unexpected answer: "You don't have such an opportunity, dear.  ”

    "Eh?Shania didn't understand what her husband meant.

    "I intend to refuse to grant honours.  ”

    "Ahhhh…"Shania opened her mouth and was surprised.

    "Isn't this a very surprising thing?"Twain is interesting about Shania's reaction.  "More than 300 people in history have refused the Queen's honour.  I am just one of them.  ”

    "I just don't know why.  Shania raised her mouth.

    "If I was awarded the Knight's Medal for the first time, maybe I would be very happy to accept it in front of the Queen and treat it as an honor like the Champion trophy.  But now my mentality is different.  Now this medal is not an honor for me, but alms.  I don't want to.  Twain pointed to the list in Shania's hand and dismissed it.

    Shania looked at Twain and smiled.  She is not British, and naturally she will not look at this issue from the perspective of the United Kingdom national honor.  Anyway, in the end, it is just a "jazz" title. Since the husband said no, then don't.

    "There is a medal for you, just as you are."  "Shania throws away the newspaper.  I put my hands together to hook Twain's neck, eyes looked at him with affection, and then put the body up, gently squatting on Twain's chest.  "Dear, I want to…"

    When Pierce .Bruce received an email from the so-called "open letter" that Twain sent him.  He was shocked.  Then I called Twain and called.

    "Toni, what do you think?"

    "Yeah?"Twain didn't seem to wake up yet, and made a question from the nose.

    "I mean to refuse to grant honours…So, what do you think?Bruce held the "open letter" that had just been printed, and shook as he spoke.  It made a loud noise.

    "What do you think? I am not interested in this bad street knight medal, it is as simple as Pierce.  Twain rolled over from the bed. He turned to look at the wife who was still asleep in the bed. She covered the quilt for her and walked out in her pajamas.

    It was very cold in the early morning of December and went to the terrace. The cold wind blowing in the face made Twain sleepy.

    "Rotten street? Toni ……Don't you know the meaning of the award? ”Bruce thinks this must be because Twain hasn't woken up.

    "It may make sense twenty years ago.  Pierce.  But now, it does not make sense.  The Boss of the chain fast food restaurant can be awarded the Knight's Medal. I think that in the next few years, I am afraid that even the newborn baby can book it. With two thousand places a year, how many people in the United Kingdom have not been awarded this thing? Moreover……I am very grateful to you for your hard work in order to be able to grant me a honour.  However, this kind of honor with a taste of charity, I don't want it.  Am I not a person who can't live without the Knight's Medal and the Jazz title? You said that I took so many Champions, still care about a little jazz title? ”

    “Ewww.”Bruce was dumbly questioned by Twain.  He knew that Twain was an unruly person, and this did not change as he grew older.  But he didn't expect Twain's unruly to be used in the United Kingdom royal family…

    "Don't you feel sorry?  Toni…"Bruce still asked unwillingly.

    "What a pity? At most, it is called 'Twain Jazz'. I don't think those who don't respect me before will respect me just because I changed my title.  I don't think people who like me originally didn't like me because I didn't become a jazz.  I am still me, I am Tony Twain.  "Twain overlooks the east, and a round of Chaoyang is rising. The blue sky is red and the sky and the horizon are in the east. The white mist rises and rises in the forest."  Just like a fairyland.

    With that in mind, what else does Bruce have to say? Twain is right, he is him, he is Tony Twain, so no one can change his decision.  Even if he wants to be against the world, all you can do is choose to stand with him or against him.

    "You will definitely make the royal family feel very faceless…"Bruce muttered.

    "What is the result is this, haha!"Twain has a one-handed akimbo.  Lol.  "Some people do everything they want to make me a jazz. Now they see this as a charity to me and a good move.  I want to tell them: Let your self-righteous pride go to hell! ”

    Putting down the phone, Bruce looked at the open letter in his hand and sighed.  He remembered a past event.

    Prior to Twain, Nottingham Forest FC was also a controversial manager, Brian Clough, who led the Forest team to two Champion Cups, but also did not receive the royal title.  There are rumors that Clough himself refused the invitation of the royal family, and some said that the government was not used to the unruly old man at the time.  But anyway.  When Clough died, people once again offered to award him a honour, but because the rules of the honour were not allowed to award the Knights Medal and Lord of Honor to a dead person.  In this way, Clough and the highest honor in the United Kingdom represent the highest honors.

    Fifteen years later, Tony Twain, the manager of Nottingham Forest FC, also rejected the royal honour. Is it his own instinct?

    Think farther.  Nearly a thousand years ago, there was an unruly and despotic authority on this land, and he led his friends to confront the nobles at the time.  Robbing the rich and helping the poor, Wuthering the mountain forest is not free.

    Maybe this place is dedicated to this kind of character…

    Whether it is Robin Hood, Clough, or now Twain, they are "Grand Theft" who are not convinced of discipline, dare to challenge authority, and advocate freedom.

    Regardless of how the outside world sees them, the lush Sherwood Forest will always circulate their legendary stories.  They are the heroes here.

    One day later, the open letter written by Twain himself was sent to the Nottingham Evening Post and immediately caused a sensation.

    In the letter.  Twain thanked the United Kingdom royal family and the friends who had called for their own honours, but he made it clear that he would refuse the honour.  As for the reasons for refusal, he did not say that the gold content and authority of the Honorary Lord is now getting lower and lower, even though this is known to even children.  His reason is much more exciting than this.

“……I know that many people do not want me to be awarded a honour. They think that I am not worthy. I don't want to comment on this.  I just want to say that I didn't want to get any Knight Medal from the beginning – did anyone see me say a word for myself in previous debates? No, because I don't want it at all.  Are those who oppose me now disappointed? I certainly want to thank those friends who have called for me to run, but I don't want to go against my own true idea – I don't want to be called 'Twain Jazz'.  I am not willing to sacrifice myself.  Make yourself look like a beggar, to satisfy others.  I am who I am.  I am Tony Twain, and I have a better reward than a little Knight Medal – a fifteen-year coaching career and sixteen Champion trophies.  I don't need to rely on the Honorary Lord to show my worth and glory.  In the face of these will be, everyone will agree that I am England…No, the best football coach in the United Kingdom and the world.

    For all of the above reasons, I refused to grant honours.  ”

    Although many people have refused the honour of the United Kingdom royal family for various reasons, it is the first time that Twain is so arrogant.  In this letter, his declaration was vocal and there was a huge repercussions throughout the United Kingdom.

    People once again saw his wildness.

    "The Sun" then commented:

“……After the comeback, he faced many media questions, and he did not open the counter.attack.  After losing the first game, for those who laughed at him, he did not slap their slap.  All of this makes us think that Tony Twain, 50, is old. He has lost the sharpest teeth and claws, and is meek as a cat.

    But we are wrong.  He just didn't touch the opponent worthy of his own shot.

    Now, the United Kingdom royal family, this opponent's name is loud enough, and there is enough qualification to be his opponent.  So we saw the familiar Tony Twain, the habitual and the right guy in the world.  ”

    "Genius is always different from ordinary people.  "Linkel and Alan.Hansen, Mark.Lauren Sen said this when he talked about it on TV.  "I admit that today's honorary lord's attraction to the public is declining year by year, but there are still many people who hope to receive such a reward every year. The number of 2,000 people still seems to be insufficient.  Under such circumstances, Twain's abandonment of this honor is incomprehensible.  He can't understand it with ordinary people's thinking.  After this incident, the most relevant comment I heard was 'why', 'Why should he refuse?' 'Why would he write such an arrogant open letter' 'Why would he be so high-profile refused'…A lot of 'why'.  In my opinion, asking Twain 'why' is very stupid.  He never needs a reason to do things. If you must find a reason, then I can only say that he is in a bad mood, or he is in a good mood…"

    "Nottingham Evening Post" gave Twain the title of "King of Innocent": "…Although I personally regret that Twain can't be called 'Twain Jazz', it is the same as Twain himself: 15 years coaching career, 16 important Champion trophies, Twain no longer need to use a knight The medal is to honor the glory he has achieved.  He is a well-deserved 'innocent king'! ”
