Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter IV After Retirement

    "Well, Tony Twain left the football anyway.  Now is the time for us to look away from him.  "In the bbc's "Today's Race" program, three guests talked about the major events in the football in the previous period, so.  They all consistently ranked Twain's retirement as the second place in the annual event in England. The first place was naturally that the England team won the world Champion.

    This sentence also represents an attitude of the media. After more than a month of speculation, the new season is about to start. A retired Manager, even if he is a Champion coach, can't attract more attention.  What's more, if Twain no longer coaches the team, then it doesn't make much sense to speculate. From the football, Tony Twain is nothing, and the media don't have to buy him.

    Twain is also happy.  Shania naturally has to work, and Twain is at ease to bring children at home.  Fortunately, the most difficult baby time Teressa was spent in a welfare home, and it is not too difficult for a big man in Twain to bring it now.  Twain didn't have the experience of Dad, but he always remembers a word to make the child happy.

    The person who is almost 50 years old is still like a urchin in front of the child. He plays with Teressa all the time and tries to make her happy. For a time, the focus of his life is only Teressa. As for football? He has long been thrown into the clouds.

    And in order for Teressa to adapt to this strange country and lifestyle as quickly as possible, he often took her out to go shopping, or sit in the Pubs in Burns.  Of course, the wine is not allowed to drink, and Teressa is also surrounded by him as a “no-smoking area”, and the fans are not allowed to smoke.  When he was no longer busy with his work, he finally had more time to chat with the old folks in the Pub. Everyone wants him to come every day. What is smoking? Teressa is very popular with everyone, although it is only a foster daughter.  But who cares about those? People don't care, what do outsiders care about?

    This is the happy life of Twain after retirement.

    "New season, which team do you most like to win?"Leinkel asked two guests on the show.

    "Liverpool FC.  "Alan.Hansen replied without hesitation.

    REASONS WHY

    "Does this need a reason? I am their fans…Ok, I am joking.  I just hope that Liverpool FC can win, but calmly analyze, I think Arsenal FC and Manchester United FC are the most promising champions…"

    Reinkel turned his eyes to another guest, Mark.Lauren Sen.

    "Ahem…"  "Lauren Sen Qing Qingzi replied, "I am optimistic about Chelsea…"

    "So what can I get to qualify for the season Champion Cup?"

    The opinions of the two people were surprisingly consistent: "Manchester United FC, Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC, Chelsea.  ”

    Leinkel suddenly asked: "There is no Nottingham Forest FC?"

    Alan.Hansen and Mark.Lauren Sen shook his head together: "No.  ”

    Lauren Sen added: "It is not easy for them to be able to capture the qualifications of the European League.  ”

    The Europe League is also the former UEFA Europa League, which was later reorganized and is called the "Europe Football League Europe".  The reformed European League made some adjustments to the format and qualifications.  The runner-up in the previous National Cup was allowed to participate in the UEFA Europa League. If the Champion is eligible to participate in the Champion Cup, the runner-up will replace Champion in the UEFA Europa League.  This is not going to work now.  For those small and medium-sized clubs who want to break through in the cup and enter the Europe event, the threshold is raised.

    Nottingham Forest FC has lost the Champion Cup for two consecutive seasons and can only participate in the Europe League.

    In fact, for many Clubs, even if they can participate in the Europe League, it is also a very commendable achievement.  Nottingham Forest FC only made a few years ago at Europe's top tournaments.  Nowadays, I can only go to the Europe League. It really makes people feel "degraded".  After all, the influence and benefits of the European League are not comparable to the Champion Cup.

    And there is something that has an impact on the performance of Nottingham Forest FC, and it has long been a rumored rumor, but a fact that is hard to say – Evan.Doughty always wanted to sell Nottingham Forest FC.  How can a Club chairman who does not intend to continue to operate to lead this Club to Walk On? Until now, the Nottingham Forest FC has changed to the Manager.  So the media ridiculed the door of the Nottingham Forest FC Manager office has long been changed to a "revolving door."

    The reason why it has not been sold is that on the one hand, the performance is declining, the market influence is reduced, and there is no interest.  After all, Nottingham is not a big city like Manchester, Liverpool FC and London. The small place is destined for a small development prospect.  Since the possibility of attracting foreign consortia is so low, on the other hand, the price is always inconsistent, and occasionally there are buyers, Evan.Doughty is too low for him to accept.  So it was so stiff for two years, every season before the game and the concentration of the season, I heard that Doughty wants to sell the Club, but it has never been sold.  Fans are disgusted with his lack of loyalty, initially angry, and now it has become a joke.  Just put Evan.Doughty saw the clown clown.  Crowson Arena's Robin Hood stands hang around Evan all year round.Doughty's banner slogan has become a scene here, and every time the game is broadcast, there will be a lot of close-ups.

    Fortunately, there are also European events every year. In the past few years, it was the Champion Cup. In the past two years, it was the European League, and the business did not fall into an unsustainable situation.  Only this competitive result is not very satisfactory, and the Manager is replaced continuously.  People are disquieted [on tenterhooks].  Tactics couldn't get approval to implement it, and today a new coach.  Bringing a new set of Tactics, the new coach will be out tomorrow, and the new Tactics, which has been practiced for half a season, has been abandoned, so everyone has to start all over again…

    So reciprocating, if you can get good results, it is really bullying English Premier League no one.

    Once the team loses the strength and motivation to win, then such a team will inevitably remain untouchable.

    Michael .Dawson, the Defender that Evan thought was a good deal, had been injured since he bought it, and eventually retired at the age of 34; David.Bent left the Nottingham Forest FC. He brought the £12 million Transfer fee to the team. He went to Blackburn Rovers FC; Adriano.Mock is not willing to leave the club.  But the decision-making power is not in his hands. Whether it is the Agent or the chairman of the Club, he wants him to leave because he can sell 18 million pounds, and the Agent can also draw from it, so he eventually went to Arsenal FC. ……

    For the fans of Nottingham Forest FC, the four seasons after Twain left were four seasons in darkness.  The team has nothing to say, but also every summer to watch the heroes who have left one by one.  It seems as if I have returned to the beginning of this century.  Nottingham Forest FC's ups and downs in the lower leagues.

    At that time they missed Brian Clough and they said, "If Clough is still there, it will not make things so bad.  "Who are they missing now? Of course Tony Twain, but Twain has retired.

    “The goal of the new season Club turned out to be the Europe Champion Cup? Ha! Reality, Chairman Mr.! ”In Burns's Pub, fans from nearby are enthusiastically discussing the future of the new season team.  When it comes to Club Chairman Evan.Doughty, everyone's tone is ridiculous.

    “We can guarantee that it will be great to participate in the Europe League!”

    "Although I feel that ambition is always good…However, this sentence does not work when placed on Doughty.  Even if the team's performance can be improved, it just adds to the fact that he sold the Club's chips…"

    Twain turned a deaf ear to the heated discussion on the other side of the Pub.  Pulling his daughter Teressa sitting aside, is making some boring Teressa happy.

    "Teressa, Dad tells you a joke!"

    Teressa nodded.

    "The summer is hot and the weather is very hot.  Two bananas are on the road.  Suddenly the banana in front said: 'It’s so hot, I have to take off my clothes.  'When he finished, he took off his clothes.  Then the banana behind it fell! Hahahaha! ”After Twain said, he held his stomach and squatted on the table and laughed.  "Is it funny?"

    Opposite, the opposite of the face, tried very hard to make herself laugh, but she tried a few times and there was no way to do such a difficult thing, so she grievously said to Twain: "Dad.  I can't smile…"

    Kenny Burns, next to the turn, laughed.

    Twain feels good: "Okay…I know this joke is difficult for you to understand…"He scratched his head and turned to look at the pop-up Pub Boss, and quickly pulled the subject. "Why don't you wipe the cup?"

    Burns put a glass of freshly squeezed juice in his hand in front of Teressa: "I invite you, Teressa."  ”

    "Thank you, Uncle Kenny.  "Teressa's English progress is very fast, and the speed at which young children accept new things is always unexpected for adults."  Now she can understand some English and can talk in simple English.

    By this opportunity Burns sat down beside Twain: "They all hope that you can come back…"He pointed to the group of fans across the board and the discussion was still very enthusiastic.  "But they don't dare to say it to you.  ”

    Twain looked at Teressa, who was sucking the juice opposite.  "I have retired.  ”

    "Jordan has retired three times and can come back three times.  Burns just smiled.

    Twain looked at him, but he didn't find any unusual expressions.  As if he just said it casually.

    Burns took away the empty glass on the table and got up and slowly slammed it behind the bar.  Twain looked at his back in the back. This man used to be a famous evil man in England football. He is a big man who is arrogant and disgusted by all his opponents. It is said that if there is a competition he participated in, the nearby hospital will have one more "Burns Branch". ".  He used dentures in front of the 1980 Champion Cup finals against the then European football Mr.
Kevin Keegan protested and scared Keegan to nothing.  In the subsequent finals.  Keegan basically didn't even touch the ball, and the Hamburger SV team eventually lost the game.  Made the Nottingham Forest FC defending champion Champion.  After he retired, he operated the Pub here, which made the big fans in the football hooligans obedient, and he couldn't get away with his reputation.  But nowadays he has white hair and awkward back. It doesn't look like a butcher who was scared in the Stadium.

    Such a man, who later became an ordinary middle-aged uncle who sat behind the bar and wiped the glass every day, is now the ordinary old man who sat behind the bar and wiped the glass every day.

    Twain turned back and looked at her daughter and found that her daughter was watching him. Some of them said, "I can't finish, Dad…"

    Twain reached out and touched her head: "It's not enough to drink."  We should go back, Teressa.  ”

    After that, he came down from his seat and took the hands of Teressa.

    Teressa jumped down and took Dad's hand and the two walked out.

    "Goodbye, guys.  Twain waved to the fans who were still discussing it.

    Everyone found out that he was going to leave. This stopped the discussion and turned his attention to him. There seemed to be something to say, but no one said it.  In the end, only Fat John called out when Twain was going out: "Are you coming tomorrow, Toni!"

    Twain looked back at him: "This is not certain. I don't come here every day. I always bring Teressa here. I am afraid she learns bad, haha!"

    Twain no longer said more, laughed and waved and opened the door to leave.

    Tony Twain never accepts the old, but perhaps in these eyes, Twain, who is taking his daughter to go out slowly, is already an old man.

    He is less than fifty years old and is not old physically.  But his heart is old, and the heart of the constantly pulsing nuclear power Champion slows down and slowly calms down.  Now that Champion he should have got it, what else can stimulate him? No, no  He did not make sense to come back again, dragging a body with a heart attack to satisfy the audience's desires.

    Perhaps this is what he always wanted for him.  He has already planned it, and after he got the World Cup, he rushed back and left the most brilliant back to the world. His glorious image has not been smeared, and people don't have to sigh any "end of heroes".

    But for the audience, the most dazzling protagonist star has closed, what is the drama of this drama? The final curtain call of the Superstars at the concert will always be called back by the fanatic fans, and then a few more on the field, then the curtain call, and then called to the stage, repeated several times, to show how popular they are.

    It’s a pity that they can’t go to Twain and shout to him, “Tony, Toni! Give us another one! ”

    "I hope Toni is happy and healthy.  Now that he has a daughter again, it is reasonable to say that it should be.  But why do I still prefer the guy who is on the sidelines and screaming at the fourth official? ”

    Billy Bill muttered.

    "I would also like……"Someone muttered beside him.

    Bill glanced at John.  The two men looked at each other and laughed again.

    "What are you doing back? Did the Forest team mess up and return to the reputation of his Champion godfather? Still don't come back well…"

    Two people shook their heads at the same time.
