Volume 4 The Storm Chapter 22 New Friends, Old Acquaintances
Kerham didn't have a short conversation with Don because he still had to shoot commercials, and Donn also learned some ins and outs.
It is known that David Beckham's wife, Victoria. David Beckham is a well-known fashionista who loves to hang out and go to the places of the most famous people. Being invited to Milan for a fashion show is also a normal social event.
As a new world supermodel, Shania is naturally the object of the other party's intention.
In this way, Sania and Victoria knew each other, and then through Victoria, Shania met David again. David Beckham......
It's a lot of a relationship.
Donn stood in the corner, watching Beckham and Shania work in the spotlight.
He never imagined that he would become acquainted with Beckham like this, although they must have heard of each other's names, but they had never been so deeply contacted.
If it weren't for Shania, Don and Beckham would have followed their own life trajectories, and nothing would have changed.
respective trajectories......
Don looked at Beckham, who was posing as the photographer had requested, and repeated this sentence in his heart.
What should their respective trajectories look like?
He Tony. Don didn't know the future, not even a month from now, let alone further afield.
And David. What about David Beckham? Don didn't dare to say anything when he was far away, but he still remembered it when he was close.
This year is 2oo6 years, and the upcoming new season, Capello is in charge of Real Madrid in turmoil, bringing the concept of Italian football and an iron-fisted coaching style. Real Madrid's star purge policy to get rid of the "Galaxy Battleship" era is officially out.
Ronaldo was the first casualty, having been sold to AC Milan by Real Madrid in the winter transfer window. At the same time, Real Madrid brought in a large number of young players and began to build their own future. Argentine teenagers Gago and Higuain, and Brazilian teenager Marcelo were signed.
Beckham, who was originally the main force in Real Madrid, was also severely challenged.
Capello didn't like him and wanted to purge him out.
As a result, the club's contract renewal negotiations with Beckham progressed slowly, and even broke down for a while.
After being completely disappointed with Real Madrid, David Beckham finally announced in the winter transfer window that he would move to the LA Galaxy on a free transfer at the end of the season and when his contract expired.
At the time, the news was not without sensation. Some people even thought it was an April Fool's joke - a world-class football star, far from being old enough to consider retiring, David with unlimited commercial value. Beckham, how could he transfer to play in a second- or third-rate league in the world?
Doesn't he care about his career? Doesn't he care about his competitive form? Doesn't he care about his popularity? He doesn't care...... Football?
The news has been confirmed that Beckham is indeed leaving the European football center, leaving the world football center, and going to the "football desert" of the American major league.
No one will look favorably on him anymore...... It is believed that this may be a sign that Beckham intends to change careers like the entertainment industry......
After that, Beckham suddenly exploded in the league, and he relied on his professional attitude to regain the trust of manager Fabio Capello and return to the team's main lineup. He then helped the team to catch up with Barcelona step by step, starting a classic comeback in late March. In the four years since he joined Real Madrid, his biggest regret is that he did not get a trophy of enough weight for the team, which is the main reason why many people criticize him. He hopes to help his team win over Barcelona and regain the league trophy after a long absence, which is his only wish.
The rest of the story, Don didn't know. In mid-April, he inexplicably crossed over, and he didn't know if Beckham's wish had come true, and he didn't know what the fate of Real Madrid and Beckham would be in the future.
Did Beckham, who went to Los Angeles, really be swallowed up by the desert and gradually forgotten, turning from a football star to a movie star...... None of this Don knows.
But he still vividly remembers how he felt when he learned of Beckham's decision β helplessness and anger.
Helpless for Beckham's decision, anger is directed at Real Madrid.
Letting go of Beckham would be the biggest and stupidest mistake in the career of Real Madrid president CalderΓ³n.
Yes, Donne thought so before Beckham led the team on a Jedi counterattack in the future.
He's not like most people in that he's always thought Beckham was an underrated player. The aura of a business star is so dazzling that everyone forgets that he is also a great footballer. When most people mention Beckham, the first thing that comes to mind is his image when he endorses products, rather than his diligent figure on the pitch and training ground, and some people even think that Beckham's diligent image itself is a kind of commercial packaging......
It's stupid.
Donn likes hard-working players. Whether there is talent or not is another matter, and he definitely doesn't want to be diligent.
The trajectory of life......
A lot has been going through since Don appeared in this world. Some things were exactly the same as he knew, and nothing had changed; Some things are completely different from what he knows, some of these completely different things are due to his direct interference, such as Van der Vaart's move from Ajax to Nottingham Forest instead of Hamburg, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy's move from Manchester United to Nottingham Forest, and some are due to indirect changes, such as Capello taking an extra person with him when he went to Real Madrid - Trezeguet.
So will his existence change the trajectory of Beckham's future?
In the new season, he has won the trust and goodwill of Capello, and has provided assists and goals for fans throughout the season. With his good performances, he won a new contract with the club and continued to stay at Real Madrid until his retirement.
Or rather...... Still nothing has changed. Capello doesn't like him, the club wants to abandon him, the media denigrates him, Hollywood beckons to his wife and bewitches him about his future choices. And then everything is irretrievable...... He went to the United States.
In addition to these two endings, is there a third?
Don was so contemplating that he didn't notice that the two of them had finished filming and were surrounding him curiously observing his expressions.
"Mr. Donne?" Perhaps thinking it was a bit impolite, Beckham finally reminded him.
"Ahh Suddenly seeing the two people in front of him, Don was startled. "You ...... Why are you here? Don't continue to ......" he pointed to the middle of the studio, and at this time the staff were busy disassembling the lights, removing the diffusers, and looking like they were going home from work.
"Finished shooting?" He asked curiously.
"yes." Shania spread her hands, "What the hell are you thinking, Uncle Tony?" β
"It's been a good time working with Shania." Beckham looked at Shania and smiled.
Shania stuck out her tongue at him and hugged Donne, "Let's have lunch together, we've already agreed with David." β
"Ah...... Uh, where's your wife, David? β
"Victoria is in Spain, babysitting. She didn't worry about Cruz. β
Cruz is the third son of Beckham and Victoria, born on February 2oo52, and is the new favorite of the Beckhams.
"I had my flight back to Madrid in the afternoon, and I thought I should invite my new friends to a meal before leaving." Beckham extended an inviting hand to Donn.
Is it possible to refuse this kind of thing?
Don also stretched out his hand: "But I think it should be invited by me, the host." β
Beckham laughed, "Don't forget I'm British, too, Tony. β
Donn was laughed at a little embarrassed, he really thought of Beckham as a Spaniard......
"Uh, okay. If you have the chance to go to Nottingham in the future, I please. That's my territory. He winked at Beckham.
Lunch was served at a fancy London restaurant, one of David Beckham's favourite restaurants, as evidenced by the private rooms he had booked for a long time.
There is no paparazzi to disturb, and the three of them can talk about whatever they want.
Shania pulled Beckham to give Don a fashion lesson, and Donne, a character coach who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is honest like a schoolboy in front of a serious little girl.
David Beckham had the pleasure of seeing Tony. Don En is the other side of the unknown, smiling happily.
"Don't talk about it." Taking advantage of Shania's visit to the bathroom, Don made a point of admonishing Beckham.
"Don't worry, Tony. But I don't think you need to worry, even if the media really knew about it, they wouldn't believe it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I wouldn't have believed it...... Ha ha! β
Amid Beckham's laughter, Don shrugged helplessly.
"Mind telling me how you met Shania?" Beckham's curiosity has risen, and Beckham does have reason to be curious about a football manager who has such a good relationship with a world supermodel, and who is still resigned to her coquettishness.
"It sounds a lot like a movie script." Donn recalled slightly, "That's the ......"
"No wonder she keeps calling you 'Uncle Tony'......" Beckham thought after listening to the story.
"In my eyes, she is not a world supermodel, just a girl who will never grow up." Don took a sip of red wine.
"I understand." Beckham nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Shania, who came back from the bathroom, curiously pushed open the door, heard the last sentence, and asked curiously.
"Your Uncle Tony told me the story of your encounter, and it was funny." Beckham laughed.
Shania coughed twice and returned to her seat, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.
At this time, Donn wanted to talk to Beckham about his career.
He thought about that question for a long time, and he didn't know where to start. Tell him directly about him after half a year
Club abandonment? That's appalling, David. David Beckham affirmed
"Uh, David, you've probably worked with the new manager, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Football is, after all, a common topic between two men. Speaking of this, the relaxed look on Beckham's face vanished, and Don keenly noticed it.
"Hmm...... He's a very strict coach, unlike the previous ones on the team. Everybody's going to get used to it......" Beckham shrugged and shook his head, "I'm probably going to have to train harder than before to impress him." β
"Real Madrid is a big club, we haven't won a title for several years in a row, and everyone is under a lot of pressure. Maybe it's better to be harsh......" Donn comforted. "David, have you thought about coming back and playing?" He asked, seemingly unintentionally, as he pointed to his feet.
"Back to England?" Beckham smiled and shook his head, "No. β
"Is it because of Manchester United?" Don continued to ask tentatively.
"There's a reason for that. You know I've been at Manchester United for a lot of years and I can't imagine myself wearing another team's shirt against Manchester United......" Beckham shook his head, really unimaginable.
He said this once in 2oo6, and when asked if he could return to the English League, he replied.
Now in private, he says it again.
When Tang En heard this, he could only sigh secretly in his heart.
If there is no change in the next six months, then Donn only hopes that when the mountain is exhausted, Beckham will give up on this idea.
At the end of the lunch with regret, Don and Shania said goodbye to Beckham. He had to rush back to the team's training session for the second day, while Don was in London shopping with Shania.
"Good luck, David." As he said goodbye at the airport, Donn shook Beckham's hand and said. There is still half a sentence that he didn't say: "You do need some good luck in the future......"
"Where are we going?" Seeing off Beckham, Don asks Shania on the bus back to London.
"Go shopping, go shopping!" Shania excitedly announced.
"Hmm...... I understand. Don thought to himself that women are like that.
"Don't think I'm buying it for myself." Shania saw through his thoughts, "I bought it for you." You need to change your image, you can't do it all year round......"
Fassar, the agent who was driving in front, continued, "Shania is right, Mr. Donn. Even if you are a man, you have to have multiple sets of clothes to wear for different occasions. β
Don somehow remembered George. Wood's agent, the man who hadn't come to harass him for a while, was very good at dressing up, and his appearance was bound to be different every time he appeared in front of him.
"I always feel that men who often make themselves change their faces are sissies......"
"Hey, Uncle Tony!" Shania was a little angry.
"Okay, okay, I take the suggestion. Anyway, with you, a person in the fashion industry, you don't need to be ...... heart" Don raised his hand in surrender, he didn't want to let the meeting that was so hard to meet end up unhappily.
So under the leadership of Shania, the three of them went straight to London's most famous shopping street, Oxford Street. There, Don is constantly being taken in and out of high-end clothing stores, constantly in and out of fitting rooms, showing off his new clothes to Shania and her agent. When both of them nodded, Faisal took out his credit card and swiped it to pay the bill, and packed the selected clothes into his handbag. The three of them went to the next store.
Don had never experienced such a shopping spree in his life, neither in China nor here, and he had never gone to such great lengths to buy clothes and pants.
He always felt that this scene should have happened to the woman, and he was the one who swiped the card to pay the bill. I didn't expect it to be completely reversed now.
But......
Don posed in what he thought was handsome in the mirror in the fitting room, and the person in the mirror was almost unrecognizable.
β¦β¦ But don't say it, being tossed by Shania like this really feels like a fashion magazine cover male star.
"Alright, Uncle Tony?" Shania shouted outside.
"Oh...... Ah, okay, okay, I'll be right out. Don looked at himself in his glasses again, then turned and pushed the door open.
Finally, in the hotel room, Shania looks at her "work" with satisfaction, a new Tony. Dawn.
"How are you feeling, Mr. Donne?" Shania casually took a fashion magazine from the bedside, rolled it up as a microphone, and asked Don as if she were remembering.
Donn looked at himself in the mirror and spun around. "Feelings? It's good, now I'm out and I'm not afraid of the paparazzi following me - they don't recognize who it is. It's quite practical. β
"Uncle Tony!" A deep sense of frustration welled up from the bottom of Shania's heart. "Hahahaha!" The agent, Mr. Faisal, smiled back and forth.
