Chapter 31: Hodge's Glory (Part II)

After signing his name and returning to the car, Walker leaned over and asked Done, "I saw you and Mark; Hodge together. What did you two say? ”

Don shrugged at the idea that Walker was too nervous: "It's nothing, it's like a conversation between a coach and a regular fan." He hopes that the Forest team can win the final round. ”

Hearing this answer, Walker was silent.

"Also, Des. I think you're a little too nervous...... You all hate him, but I don't think he's as bad as you say, he doesn't look like a bad guy......"

Walker interrupted Donn, "No bad guy will look like a bad guy. Some people are gentlemen, exemplary husbands, good husbands when they are sober, but once they get drunk...... God knows what will happen! Walker waved his hand exaggeratedly, "Hodge is that kind of person. You think he looks good now, and that's just because he hasn't started drinking yet. ”

Seeing Donn open his mouth to have something to say, Walker added, "And for Mark; Hodge said he was drunk more often than he was sober. ”

Also in the first training session after returning to Nottingham from the away, Donn felt that there were not as many fans off the field as last time. The reason for this is simply because Hodge they didn't come.

Donn thought it was worth playing.

He hadn't seen Hodge and his men on the sidelines before, but they came to the team's training ground to cheer them on after a crucial loss. In any case, Don can't connect with those "football hooligans" who fight and make trouble to discredit the team.

Although they are not polite gentlemen, they are also doing their part for the team, aren't they?

Not to mention the real thing, it's that the pseudo-"football hooligans" are too far away from Donn's life for 26 years, he lacks the understanding and cognition of football hooligans, and he can't understand why the people around him treat the group of fans who don't seem bad, but love the team more than anyone else. They say that where there are football hooligans, there must be bloodshed, but I haven't seen Hodge do anything drastic so far.

Michael took little Gavin to watch the game, they came from the direction of the training base, and obviously went to see George; Wood too. Now the team has just finished a training session and is resting on the sidelines. Don plans to go over and talk to Michael and them, and tease the lovely Gavin by the way.

But at this moment, he saw that there was one more person next to Michael-Mark; Hodge. The two seemed to be talking about something, but soon their emotions became agitated. Michael's look he had only seen in the Forest game against West Ham was anger – angry. And Mark; Hodge also changed his previous image of him. The two of them spitted at each other.

Even though he knew it wouldn't be nice to plug in suddenly, Don decided to take a look. Anyway, he had always wondered why Mark that night; Hodge is going to the Forest Bar to find Michael.

"Michael! Do you think that's good? The Forest team has fallen into the abyss, and now our community is not as strong as it used to be since you quit, and we need you back! Come back and lead ......"

"Hodge! I don't have anything to do with you anymore, naughty'forty is yours, not ours. Michael interrupted Hodge, "John and Bill and I have been out for fourteen years. Didn't you cut ties with us? I think that's great, we should never have any more connections! Goodbye, Hodge. After Michael said this, he took Gavin's hand and turned to leave.

"Wait...... Michael! Do you really want to leave us behind and the community?! Hodge exclaimed.

"What can't be left behind? For me, Gavin and Fiona trumped everything. After saying this, Michael no longer cared about Hodge's mood and led his son out of the training ground.

"Millwall's mongrels are menacing this time! We must not lose to them! Don't you think about the days when you fought side by side with your fellow men, and don't you want to think about the honor and fame of the Society? Feed! No matter how hoarse Hodge shouted here, Michael didn't stop.

"Bastard!" Hodge spat at Michael's back, "You treacherous bastard! ”

"That's why you want Forest to win against Millwall." A voice sounded next to him, startling Hodge.

"Mr. Donn......"

Don stood inside the barbed wire fence and looked at him quietly, as if he hadn't said what he had just said.

"Uh...... You don't understand, Mr. Donn. It's complicated, it's complicated......" Hodge was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect the Forest manager to suddenly appear next to him. "A club on the Millwall side is provoking us, they are laughing at our team, they are laughing at our club......"

"So what? My team will win against the team they support, they are just slapping themselves in the face. ”

"That's right, Mr. Donn. You can finish them off the court, and I'm ......," Hodge said, pointing to himself, "and you're going to get rid of them off the field." It's all the same, you fight for the glory of the team, and so do we! Our affection for the forest is unquestionable, and we can even say that no one can support the forest team more than us! Love the Forest team even more! We started with Brian; Twenty-four years since the Clough era! We fight with the Forest Team! The more Hodge spoke, the more excited he became, and he opened his arms as if he had mastered the whole world, and his eyes were full of frenzied light.

But Donn wasn't interested in the rhetoric, and he shrugged:

"Maybe. Twenty-four years ago...... I forgot what I was doing. Hodge, I don't care what you're going to do, that's your freedom. But I also remind you, stop pestering Michael. Maybe he used to have some story with you, but that was before, and now Michael loves his son and family very much. At the same time, he said in his heart: What a clumsy speech......

Hodge nodded: "I know, of course I know that he loves his son very much. But ......"

"Everyone has the right to choose, doesn't they?" Don grinned, "Respect other people's choices." ”

Hearing Donn say this, Hodge was silent, and he lowered his head as if in thought.

"I've got to go back to the camp, goodbye, Mr. Hodge. I'll win the last round, but not for your glory, but for myself. Donn waved his hand and turned back to the team.

Looking at Donn's back, Hodge muttered, "No. For our glory, Mr. Donne......"
