When Tony. When Donne returned to Nottingham with the FA Cup, everyone knew what he was going to do next. It's all at this time, and if you don't win the triple crown, I'm sorry for the previous two championships.

As in the league, after winning the championship, Donn gave the team a day off to allow the players and coaches to relax. Then prepare to face a strong enemy.

Tony, who won two championships. Once again, Donn was the focus of the media, and reporters were reluctant to give up every opportunity to get close to him and interview him, even if they were on vacation, there were still reporters who wanted to interview him.

Pierce. Bruce is one of them. He had one more advantage over other reporters — he had Donn's private cell phone number, and he could reach him anywhere and at any time, a privilege that none of the other reporters had. Tang En still hates the media, although without the media, he would not be the successful and arrogant person he is now, but he just doesn't have a good face for the media. Therefore, other media outlets wanted to interview Tony alone. Donne, the coach, can only submit an application through the club and then wait for a reply. Usually their applications don't get a positive response, which is why Don has been called "England's most difficult manager to interview" and is listed at the top of the list of "most unpopular managers among journalists".

Today, Bruce plans to reach out to Don on his private cell phone for an exclusive interview.

But since 8 a.m., he has made three consecutive phone calls, and Don's mobile phone is turned off.

Bruce shook his head in confusion, he thought about it for a long time, and could only blame the reason on Don must still be sleeping or lingering with his wife, so he didn't turn it on.

It seems that it is really difficult to interview this person......

※※※

Bruce thought that Don must be doing his morning exercise with his wife. But in fact, he was wrong.

At eight o'clock, Don drove out the door alone. And Shania is still asleep in bed after a night of passion.

Even if Shania got up, Don wouldn't take her with her. Where Don was going, what he was going to do, he didn't want anyone else to disturb him, even the most important wife in his life. In order not to let others disturb him, he even turned off his mobile phone.

He was going south of Nottingham, near Clifton, where there was a large forest like the north, with a church on a small hill and a cemetery hidden in the woods behind the church.

Gavin. Bernard, George. Wood's first fan is buried here.

In fact, not long ago, Don En was here. Although he is British, he has not forgotten some traditional customs of Chinese in his bones. For example, every year during the Qingming Festival, he comes back here to visit Gavin's grave. On this day, Don En will definitely take the time to come, and if it is just in time for the team to play on the day of the Qingming Festival, he will also come a day earlier or later. The people around him don't quite understand why he chose this time to see Gavin, because there is no such thing as Qingming Festival in the West.

Coming back a little over a month later, Donn brought Gavin two pieces of good news.

"League winner and FA Cup winner." Standing in front of Gavin's tombstone, Donn said to him, "It's crazy out there. Did you know how many years it has been since Nottingham Forest won the FA Cup? Fifty-five years, half a century. Hey, to be honest, I really didn't think of such a question before the game. But when the reporters asked after the game, I realized that we hadn't won the FA Cup for so long. Well, now the fifty-five years of resentment is over. ”

"Did you watch those two games? It was so hard to win the league title, I almost gave up...... I'll tell you the truth, and I'll say it to you alone, Gavin. No one else knows...... I was really going to give up in the last three minutes, and I even figured out what to do with those pesky reporters. Eating tables? I can eat the chocolate cake table, anyway, I didn't say what kind of table it is! Ha! ”

Don smirked.

"It's really tiring to be a manager, and I almost came here to be with you. But I'm a stubborn person, so many people want me to die, but I don't want to die. So I'm alive and going to keep you the title. But......," Donn thought for a moment, "there was something that had been buried in my heart for almost a year, and I didn't tell anyone, not even my wife. Now I decided to tell you because I know you won't talk nonsense...... I'm going to surprise them by then! ”

Don turned his head to look around, there was no one else in the small cemetery but himself. The wind from the woods passed through the cemetery, and the rustling of the leaves was the only sound here.

Don knelt down on one knee and held the tombstone with his hand as if he were caressing Gavin's little head. He lowered his head and squirmed his lips beside the tombstone, but no sound came out.

After saying that, he stood up again, with a smile on his face: "What do you think of this idea?" I'm looking forward to seeing their surprised expressions. But I have to say I'm sorry to you...... Forget it, you're not going to be Mr. President of Nottingham Forest anyway. If you really could, even if I was ninety-eight years old, I would continue to sit in that position. Sometimes I look forward to that day, and I get excited when I think about it. ”

Don tilted his head, as if he was fantasizing about that future.

"But......" he said, retracting his gaze and focusing on the tombstone. I can only think about it in my head. ”

"There's one last championship left." Donn sighed, "I suddenly feel tired of running to the finish line. Do you feel that way, Gavin? When you've gone through a marathon run and you see that the finish line is approaching, something is wrong with your body – you don't want to run, you don't want to run, you lose your breath in your legs, you can't breathe, you seem to stop there. I'm tired. ”

Don simply sat on the floor, face to face with the tombstone.

"I really don't want to run away, but I can only talk to you here, and I scratch my hair. If I had fallen before the finish line, I would have killed myself. Regardless of the outcome of the next match, at least I can't give up until the end of the match. You know what, Gavin? So many people are looking at me, my players, my colleagues, my bosses, my supporters and opponents...... With countless eyes on you behind your back, you can't afford to make a mistake, and if you do, your supporters will be disappointed and your opponents will applaud. You're going to say why I'm going to turn myself against so many people, aren't you? Who told me to be this stinky temper? Good old man...... I really can't pretend, and the surname like Wen Tunshui is not suitable for me. I'm so extreme, either I die or they die...... Forty-five years old, still like a child. ”

"Ahem, I'm not ......that old," Don coughed, and he felt uncomfortable as soon as he said it. I'll tell you a little secret, and it's a secret that no one near me knows. I...... Uh-huh......" He looked up again, but there was still no second person. 'I came from another time and space where I wasn't the manager of Forest, I wasn't even English. I'm ordinary, and I don't know you. If I hadn't come, you probably wouldn't be lying here, would you? ”

Don shook his head, "Don't talk about that. There are some things that I talk too much about, and I don't have the fighting spirit. ”

While he was still sitting on the ground chattering with Gavin, a man walked in through the cemetery gate.

※※※

George. Wood bought a bouquet of flowers outside the church, asked for a card, and wrote crookedly, "To Gavin, your George." ”

Only "George" wrote the best, and this was practiced by signing autographs for fans all day long.

As he wrote it on the card, he remembered how Don had laughed at him for being ugly.

"Look at the words you wrote, even elementary school students are not as good!"

Wood inserted the card into the bouquet and picked it up and walked out of the flower shop.

It was only at this time that the owner of the flower shop dared to whisper to himself: "It's really George." Wood? ”

When Wood walked in the door, he thought his eyes were glazed.

Wood didn't say much, picked out a bouquet of lilies, asked for another card, paid for it, and just left. The whole process from entering the store to leaving the store did not take more than a minute, and only two sentences were spoken:

"Please give me a bouquet of lilies and a card."

"Thank you."

Wood doesn't have the habit of wearing sunglasses to hide his identity when he goes out, but he doesn't take the initiative to expose himself. The florist owner didn't react at first, because he didn't expect George. Wood would come to his little flower shop. He didn't react until Wood was gone.

"What is he doing here?" He frowned and muttered, unable to figure it out.

※※※

As Wood walked into the cemetery, he saw a man sitting in front of his destination, as if talking something.

When he got closer, he recognized the man sitting on the ground as the leader.

Don also spotted Wood leaning in. Neither of them was surprised to see each other here.

Don stood up and gave up his place to Wood, who stepped forward and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, next to the bouquet that Don had placed earlier.

"Do you want me to give you some personal space?" Don planned to leave first.

Wood shook his head, "No. I don't have much to say. ”

"You're heartless, George." Donn made a joke about Wood.

Unexpectedly, Wood replied to him: "I don't know what to say." ”

Tang En was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Then let's go, I'll drive you back." ”

Wood nodded.

The two men glanced at Gavin at the same time. Bernard's tombstone, turned away.

"Aren't you going to buy a car yet, George? You're a big star, and a big star without a car will make people laugh. ”

"It's not going to work at the moment."

"You have such low requirements for life...... Not looking for a girl? How old are you, George? ”

"Twenty-seven."

"Twenty-seven, you're not looking for girls, do you want others to say that you are in love with the same surname?"

"I love my mom."

Don turned his head to look at Wood, and said nothing.

The twenty-seven-year-old star is still single, which is unbelievable to say, but in George. Wood's case is a matter of course. It seems that there is only one female surname in his life, and that is his mother. This mother-lover's child could never have imagined what it would be like to have another woman share his love. Even Don was ingrained in his belief that if one day a girl who wasn't his mother was by Wood's side, it would be a strange scene......

※※※

While sending Wood home, Don meets Sophia.

Sophia was also very happy to see Done. Her face was even a little red. She wanted to keep Don here for lunch, but Don politely refused, because he had to go home to spend time with his wife, and Shania must have prepared lunch and was waiting for him.

Sophia was a little disappointed, but her expression was quickly disguised.

Don didn't even get through the door. Every time he faced Sophia, he had mixed feelings. He knew Sophia's feelings for him, but he was a man with a wife, and he didn't think he was suitable for Sophia to be together. In order not to continue to give Sophia this delusion, there were times when he had to deliberately keep his distance. Of course, this will make Sophia a little sad, but it's better than cheating on her, okay?

While Sophia was trying to get Don to lunch, Wood stood beside her, not saying a word.

Don remembered Wood's words, and felt weird, he didn't stay long, and said goodbye to the mother and son.

In his heart, he only hopes that Sophia and George can live happily.

Pierce. Bruce had been on the phone all day, and Donn's phone was always off. He was confused, and Donn's phone was rarely turned off. Even if it's two or three o'clock in the morning, you will get through if you want to call him, of course, there is no suspense if you are scolded by him and then hang up the phone after you get through.

He thought about a lot of possibilities in his head, and in the end, the more he thought about it, the worse it became, and he didn't dare to think about it at all.

It wasn't until just after nine o'clock in the evening that he called Donn.

When he heard the prompt that he remembered from the other side was not a prompt that "the user you dialed has been turned off", but a "beep-beep-beep" waiting to be answered, he almost had the urge to burst into tears.

"I've been calling you all day, Tony!" Bruce exclaimed excitedly over the phone.

"Do you want to pursue me? It's a pity I don't like men, Mr. Journalist. Donn joked about Bruce.

"I want to make an appointment with you, you are now a big celebrity, I'm afraid that you will be robbed when it is too late......"

"I'm not a cargo...... Well, I promise you, but not now, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow...... I don't give any interviews until the Champions Cup final. I rejected all the requests to the club, and you and I were no exception, even though we had a good relationship. ”

"Is it to prepare for the Champions Cup final?"

"That's nature. Actually, I'm doing this to cheapen you, Mr. Reporter. When I get the Champions Cup, it will be difficult for you to ask me for an interview. Don said seriously on the phone.

Don was putting on a show, but Bruce didn't care, as long as Don agreed to give him an exclusive interview.

"Well, I'm here to confirm this...... Uh, I won't bother you guys......" Bruce hurriedly hung up the phone as he heard Shania's laughter on the phone.

※※※

Shania couldn't help but laugh when she saw Don put on a serious show.

Don put down his phone and stretched out his hand to Shania.

Shania obediently leaned up and snuggled into her husband's arms.

"Where would you like to go this summer, Shania?" Don asked lightly, sniffing Shania's hair.

"Aren't you going to be busy? The BBC is looking for you to talk about the World Cup in South Africa, right? When the World Cup is over, it's time for the team to train again. Shania asked curiously.

Tang En smiled: "Who can say what will happen in the future?" Where do you want to go? ”

Shania curled up in Done's arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed Done's caresses, muttering, "You can go anywhere, as long as you're with Uncle Tony......"

Don stroked Shania's hair lovingly, but didn't say anything.
