Volume 8 The clouds are light and the wind is light Chapter 2 Children

"Tony. Don announces retirement! ”

"This time it's a complete goodbye!"

"It's unbelievable that he would choose to leave ...... at the peak of his career"

"His retirement is a great loss for English football!"

Even those media who were blacklisted by Don after the final are sorry for his departure at this moment. While it's not news that Donn will step down as England manager after the World Cup, no one could have imagined that he would choose to say goodbye to retirement altogether.

The news of England's World Cup triumph had only been on the front pages of major media for two days before it was replaced by Donne's decision.

There were many rumors about why he retired for a while, but none of them were worth believing because Don did not further explain why he wanted to retire instead of simply resigning.

※※※ "You actually resigned?" Shania's eyes widened as she looked at Donn, who was sitting across from her.

Don grinned at the expression on his wife's face, even if she was surprised.

"yes, resigned! Aren't you happy? I think you're just surprised. ”

"Uh......" Shania didn't know if she was happy to hear the news, or if she should be happy.

Today, the two of them are not in England, but in Paris, France. Shania has a show here, and Don comes over to accompany her.

"I want to surprise you, do you like it?"

Don spread his arms and waited for his wife to pounce on him.

But Shania didn't do that, she just tilted her head to look at her husband. "I was wondering how many days you could hold on this time......"

This made Don blush. The last time Don said that he would resign and not come back, and accompany Shanya with peace of mind, he regretted it every month, and after receiving a call from London, his heart was ready to move again.

"This time it's a retirement!" Donn raised his right hand and swore, "I have nothing to do with football at all." ”

Shania just laughed, she wasn't a stupid woman who would believe what men said.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Don had to mumble, "Let time prove all this."

Shania saw that he was a little depressed, so she went over and snuggled into his arms: "You resign again, what will George think?" "The last time he stepped down as Nottingham Forest manager left Wood in a long cold war with him, Shania was clear about that.

"Don't worry about it this time." Don patted Shania on the back, "I've been communicating with him a long time ago. ”

※※※ George. Wood picked up Pierce. Bruce's phone call, asking him for "inside information" about Donne's retirement.

"He said he wanted to rest." Wood's answer was as concise as ever.

"It's as simple as that?" Bruce couldn't believe his ears, how could something so important be decided so easily?

"Hmm."

"How so...... Wait a minute! Bruce reacted, "You didn't keep him when he told you?" ”

"I have, but it doesn't work." Wood was honest and didn't lie.

Bruce pondered for a moment, "George, can you tell me more about the situation?" ”

"It's ......" Wood hesitated, for he wasn't sure if he should tell the press about it, and Don didn't agree and didn't disagree.

Bruce retreated: "If he doesn't let you say it, then forget it, I won't embarrass you, George." ”

"No, he didn't say that......" Wood shook his head.

He thought of a month earlier, on the eve of England's departure for Australia, Donn had suddenly called Wood into his hotel room and said he had something important to talk to him.

"I shouldn't have told you about this before such an important event, but I believe in your mental quality, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of other things that will interfere with it, so you and I can't sit down and talk about it like we did today." Donn got straight to the point, "My contract expires after the World Cup, and I don't plan to renew it. You know that, right? ”

Wood nodded. Not only did he know, but all of England knew it. After the Confederations Cup, England came home with a bang. There has been speculation in the media that the FA should offer Donn a new contract, given that there is only one year left before the World Cup. However, the FA did not do this at that time, but said that it would wait until the end of the World Cup to see the results in the World Cup before deciding whether to renew Donne's contract, and there was a lot of distrust of Don En in his words.

Although Don did not lose his temper publicly, he lost trust in the FA because of the incident. He couldn't find a relationship between him and the FA, and he knew that the two sides were left with nothing left to exploit each other – Barclay wanted to use the results he had led to cement his position, but was unwilling to pay for his possible future failures. Donne, on the other hand, only sees an annual salary of 14 million pounds a year.

In that case, it is better to cut off the FA's thoughts as soon as possible. So after reaching the World Cup finals through the play-offs, Donn issued a statement claiming that he would not renew his contract with the FA, regardless of the team's record in the World Cup, and he would leave his current position after the tournament.

At that time, the England team was only worthy of a ticket to the finals, and the public was not optimistic about England's good results in the World Cup, so there was no objection to Donne's statement. In their opinion, Donn is looking for himself to step down in advance, and if England are bad in the finals by then, which is a big possibility in their minds, he can also walk more decently, at least not be knocked down...... Seeing Wood nodding, Donn said again: "But in fact, this time it is not simply stepping down from the position of head coach of the England team, but leaving completely." Retirement, I decided to retire. ”

Wood looked up and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

"I'm not kidding or anything, George. I'm telling you because I don't want to hurt you again. Donn was referring to his farewell.

"Why retire?" Wood asked.

"To give my wife more time. I've been too tired and busy in the past few years to take care of Shania at all. "The head coach of the England team is probably the busiest manager in the world, and in the UK, where the paparazzi are highly developed, there is almost no private life, and Donne's words are not an exaggeration." I'll be 50 in September next year, how much time do I have to spend with her? "Wood's relationship with him is not ordinary, so it is possible for Don to say such heartfelt words to him, otherwise with his practice of maintaining an image in front of outsiders, he will not be very sympathetic to people.

The words silenced Wood. He is facing the same problem as Donn, his mother's health is getting worse and worse, why does he keep not having a girlfriend? It's because for him, there may not be much left for him to be by his mother's side.

Because of the same feelings, Wood had no position to keep him.

"Is it because of this...... Bruce muttered as he listened to Wood's story.

Tony. Don is really a controversial figure, even if he won the world championship with LinkedIn Glenn and was popular for a while, his retirement decision still caused a lot of controversy, and not every fan understood his decision. If that's the reason, then I'm afraid no one will complain anymore, right?

"I see, George. Thank you. ”

Bruce thanked Wood and hung up the phone, but Wood didn't know if he had done the right thing by telling a reporter about it.

But he quickly shook his head and shook the thought away. If there is a problem, the person who should have the headache is also Donn, not him. Who told Don to leave him again?

※※※ "Do you have any plans after the show in Paris?" Don asked his wife, who was snuggled in his arms.

"I have a vacation." Shania understood the meaning of Donn's words, "Do you have any plans, Uncle Tony?" ”

Don was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. He looked at Shania again and said, "Let's go to China and adopt a child." ”

This decision came as a surprise to Shania, who broke free from Done's arms and looked at her husband in amazement. As if I had misheard.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get you pregnant......" Donn's tone was full of apology and guilt. He has been living a fairly prosperous life since he was reborn, and he is proud of his career, and he married a supermodel wife who is twenty-one years younger than him in life. But this was the only thing that made him very depressed. I don't know if it's the sequelae of the crossing, maybe it's God's punishment for his double harvest in career and love, or maybe it's the retribution for making too many enemies...... He appears to have lost his fertility.

Shania reached out and covered Donn's mouth, preventing him from continuing to blame himself: "The person I fell in love with was Uncle Tony, not a stallion. It doesn't matter if you don't have children, I love you, Uncle Tony. She was a little worried that Tang En's relationship would be cracked because of her physical defects, and she had to let Tang En'an have this heart.

Don, who was covered by Shania, couldn't speak, he could only stare into his wife's eyes, and Shania also stared at him, the two of them didn't say anything, but there was a tacit understanding slowly floating in their hearts.

Don opened his mouth and gently bit Shania's hand, and Shania frowned and slapped Don lightly, retracting her hand.

"Let's go to China and adopt a child." Don repeated his plan.

Shania did not object. If her husband wants a child so much, how can she still object? Although she did not know why her husband was going to China to adopt the child.

Of course, she won't know, and Tang En wants to make up for his regrets - he can't be a Chinese in this life, and it's not bad to have a Chinese child.

"When to go? I'll be fine the day after tomorrow. What are the procedures for applying for adoption in China? ”

Don shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and see first." If you don't meet a suitable one, don't adopt it first. "Don is very cautious about finding children.

Shania looked at Don and rolled her eyes, if Don decided to adopt a child, then he and himself still need frequent **? Surname love is also part of love, and to be honest, Shania loves the feeling of being in bed with Uncle Tony. Uncle Tony, who is almost fifty years old, is actually not old at all when he is in bed.

Don seemed to see what was on her mind, and suddenly stopped and picked up Shania, and threw her on the bed beside her. Shania screamed in fright, but immediately her lips were gagged...... when Tang Jing received a call from Don En to her, she was still a little surprised. Because Don rarely calls her. If anything, it's Don who is looking for it, not her.

When Tang En told Tang Jing on the phone what materials he needed to prepare if he wanted to adopt a child in China, and what qualifications the adopter should have, she was even more surprised.

Although he agreed, he didn't come back until he hung up the phone. Don and Shania have been married for so many years and have no children, which has long made people suspicious, and there are rumors that Don can't have children. So Tang Jing was surprised not by this, but by the fact that they would want to go to China to adopt a child.

Tang saw that his wife was a little uneasy after answering the phone, and hurriedly greeted him with concern. Unexpectedly, it was Don's business. His wife didn't understand why Don went to China to find orphans to take him in, but Don knew the inside story. It's a pity that this kind of inside story can't be told to Tang Jing. He could not tell his wife: "Your husband and Tang En have exchanged souls with each other, but Tang En is a Chinese, so he wants to adopt a Chinese child." ”

At the moment, he just said, "Doesn't Don like China very much?" Maybe he also has a soft spot for Chinese children? ”

This explanation is reasonable, and besides, how can others understand the preferences of others?

Tang Jing was just a little strange, and she didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic to call back to China to inquire about the relevant information for Don.

Two days later, Don and Shania returned to the UK to look for documents from the relevant British authorities to prove their age, occupation, marriage, health, property, and whether they had been criminally punished.

In the United Kingdom, where the media is highly developed, how can they hide this little move from the nose of the paparazzi?

The media speculated from a series of relevant materials prepared by Don that he was going to adopt a child, and there have been rumors that Don and his wife have been married for many years but have no children, but this news is not surprising now.

In China, it may be humiliating for men to be infertile, but not necessarily in the UK. It is also very common for infertile couples to adopt orphans, and even if they do, families will adopt more children from other countries.

A reporter blocked Tang En outside the Chinese Embassy, and asked not the question of adopting a child, but - "At the peak of your career, you chose to retreat bravely, what are your considerations?" ”

was blocked by reporters, but Tang En was not angry, but raised his visa to China with great interest: "My wife and I are struggling to form a new family. That's what I'm going to do now and in the future! ”
