When the away winning Forest team walked out of the stadium and was about to get in the car and leave, they saw the fans who came to support them again, and this time without Donn and Chris Rak saying anything, the players all consciously walked to the fans to sign autographs for them.

After Donn left the press conference, he went straight to the side door to the parking lot to meet the team, and as soon as he went out, he heard someone calling him: "Tony! ”

"John." Tony turned his head to see the fat man waving to him, and then behind the fat John's wide frame, Shania jumped out.

"Uncle Tony!"

This time she didn't have that annoying Cousin Tom by her side, and she didn't know how Shania had used to get him away.

Don laughed and walked over to her.

"Where's your cousin Tom?"

Shania pointed at John, "Uncle John scared him away. ”

The fat man scratched his head, and then said to the two, "You guys talk, I'll go find my guys." ”

"Thank you, John." Donn nodded at him, "I'll treat you to a drink when you go back." ”

John blinked: "That's what I'm waiting for!" Goodbye, Shania. ”

"Goodbye, Uncle John." Shania waved her hand at John.

When the fat man walked away, Don looked at the little girl whose cheeks were slightly red because of happiness, and said with a smile: "The first time I went to the scene to watch the game? ”

Shania nodded: "Cousin Tom always wanted me to be a Newcastle fan, and every day he asked me to come here with him to watch the game, but I didn't agree. I told him I didn't like football, and he was surprised and asked me: 'Are you really Brazilian?' ’”

Shania's eyes widened, and her voice was thick enough to imitate Tom's tone and expression, making Don laugh.

Seeing that Don was so happy, Shania was also smiling beside her, as if she had done something very accomplished.

"You ...... Little villain! After laughing, Don still felt a little out of breath.

"Hee-hee." Shania stuck out her tongue, "Uncle Tony, are you guys going to stay here one more night?" ”

Don was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "We are going back to Nottingham now." See that car? He pointed to the bus in the distance, "We went straight from the stadium to the airport." ”

Hearing Don say this, Shania was also a little disappointed: "I thought you would stay here for another night......"

'Well, I want to, too, but there's a League Cup game ahead and we have to rush back and prepare.' It's also a pity that Donn only has a few chances to play in Newcastle a season? Now Shania is so strict with her Aunt Lane, and in the summer she said that she could come to Nottingham every weekend, but she never came.

Looking at Shania's pursed little mouth, Don really couldn't bear to disappoint her.

Although the means of communication are now very developed, mobile phones and online videos are available, Tang En still feels more intimate face-to-face.

Just when he was frowning and embarrassed, Shania grinned first: "Actually, it's nothing, we can meet again at Christmas anyway." I've already told my mom and dad that they won't think I'm running away from home again this time! ”

Speaking of "running away from home", both men laughed. If it hadn't been for that time, they might never have known each other for the rest of their lives.

After laughing, the two looked at each other like that. Even though they both knew it was time to say goodbye, neither of them said "goodbye" first.

In the end, Don was defeated, glanced at the overcast sky, and said to Shania, "This day...... It's going to rain. ”

"Well, it's time for me to go back." Shania looked at Don and nodded.

"Then we'll see you at Christmas, Shania." Don said with a smile.

"Well, goodbye Christmas! I'm leaving, Uncle Tony, it's not good to keep them waiting. She pointed to the team bus. Donn looked back and saw that the members of the coaching staff, as well as the players of the team, and even the fans gathered around the bus, were watching him and Shania.

He coughed, secretly cursed the group of men who like to watch gossip in his heart, and deliberately said with a straight face: "It's okay, I'm their leader, I let them wait, they have to wait!" ”

"But planes don't wait for anyone."

That's right, Don touched his nose, "Goodbye then, Shania." ”

"Goodbye, Uncle Tony."

Shania waved her hand lightly and turned to leave.

Don watched her slender back gradually move away, and an indescribable feeling slowly welled up in his heart, just like the weather now.

Damn it! I was supposed to be happy, wasn't I? Today's winner is ours...... ※※※When the bus drove towards the airport, there were wisps of water marks on the window, and on a cloudy evening, the street lamps on the side of the road were reflected in the window, which was refracted like a kaleidoscopic light.

Don looked at the increasingly hazy sky outside the window, and the first thing that came to mind was Shania, and he unconsciously worried about whether she had gotten in the car, whether she had been caught in the rain, and if she had been drenched, would she catch a cold?

"Tony?" A man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, startling Donn.

"Huh? David, is there something going on? ”

"I see you're not in a good mood all of a sudden, what's wrong? Didn't we win? Chrislak asked, turning his head with concern.

Seeing his assistant ask, Don En reappeared with a smile on his face: "Yes, we won." It's nothing, I'm just ...... by this terrible weather," he gestured to the darkening sky outside his window.

"Ah, so you're worried about this. Rest assured, I don't think the weather conditions will delay our flight. ”

Don's eyes lit up and he looked at the sky again. I suddenly wish the weather was getting worse...... How bad is it? Just cancel your flight!

He turned his head to look out the window, because the sky was dark and the rain was not good, but he still saw the famous statue standing in the distance, the Angel of the North (angel_of_the_north).

The brown-and-red steel angel with Boeing 757-style wings has been standing on the slopes of Gateshead for seven years since her inauguration in 1998, and even a 100-kilometre-per-hour storm has become a symbol and landmark of Newcastle and the whole of North England.

For Tony? For Donne, there was also an angel in Newcastle, and it became all the symbols of the city of Newcastle in his heart.

Donn's wishful thinking finally didn't work, and despite the rain, rain is indispensable in England all year round, and this level of rain cannot affect the normal opening of the airport at all.

Nottingham Forest boarded their flight to Birmingham on time.

Before boarding the plane, Don receives a text message from Shania telling him that he has arrived home, drenched in a light rain but out of the way. She finally congratulated Donn's team on the victory, having just forgotten to tell him outside the stadium and could only do so via text message.

Don wanted to go back and let her pay attention to her body, but the team had already started boarding, so he could only turn off his phone honestly.

When the plane pierced through the rain and fog and rushed into the sky, the gloomy sky outside the window was bright, which attracted Donn's attention. He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, with white clouds below and a clear sky above. Where the wings pointed, a red flame was piercing the Pennines, its afterglow staining the western sky red.

After the win away to Newcastle, Nottingham Forest are fifth with 20 points from 11 league games. Manchester United, who were level on points in the previous league round, fell to seventh after losing away to Portsmouth in this round of the league.

Such a result was certainly a joy for Forest supporters, but Donn was not happy.

Take a look at the teams who are currently in the top six of the league - Arsenal and Chelsea are first and second respectively with 26 points. Arsene Wenger's side have been beaten by Manchester United in the 10th round of the league, and their top-flight unbeaten run has ended at 49 games, exactly the same history that Donn remembers against Manchester United, with goals scored by Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Despite Arsenal's defeat, they and Chelsea deservedly finished in the top two. And then next...... Everton is third in the league and Bolton is fourth in the league! The team that was beaten by Forest!

Traditional powerhouses Manchester United and Liverpool are both in the doldrums, sitting outside the top seven.

The outside world has attributed Forest's current ranking to Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as the overall slump of Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur. Evidence of this is the league table, with four teams in the top six alongside Nottingham Forest in the league's opinion.

It's not that Donn doesn't think Forest live up to their name, but he's worried about United's strength.

What does fifth in the league mean? You can play in next season's UEFA Cup, and if you're lucky, you can go one more place and you'll be in the Champions Cup!

Glory, fame, and money are rolling in.

In fact, the end result of the season should be Chelsea's top league title, with Arsenal unable to survive after a run-on run of unbeaten run was ended and finished second. Manchester United rushed to third in one fell swoop. David Moyes' Everton finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League qualifiers. Liverpool, who eventually won this season's European Cup, are fifth, and it is embarrassing that the defending champions are not eligible for the next European Cup. Fortunately, the English FA actively mediated later, and finally UEFA set a precedent.
