After training, Van Nistelrooy did not go to the parking lot after showering and changing clothes in the dressing room, where there may still be fans waiting for him to sign autographs. He walked straight outside the manager's office and knocked on the door.

After training, the players can take a shower and change their clothes and go home, but the coaches often have to get together and give the report of today's training to Donne, so that he, the head coach, can grasp the situation of the team at the first time.

Now Don was looking at the reports, and he heard a knock on the door and thought it was Don. He didn't raise his head, but said, "The door is not closed, you just come in." ”

Van Nistelrooy pushed the door open and called, "Boss." ”

Donn looked up to see that it was Fanny, and he was a little surprised: "Is there something wrong, Luther?" ”

Van Nistelrooy nodded: "Yes." There's something I've thought about for a long time, and I think it's better to tell you, sir. ”

Don put down the training report in his hand and made a deaf look.

"My contract with the club doesn't expire until June 30, 2012, right?"

Don nodded, "Yes." If you're consistent, I'm going to renew your contract for another year......"

Van Nistelrooy shook his head, "No, sir. I decided to retire at the end of the season. ”

As Don sat in his chair, he could feel his body jump, and he thought he had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

"I mean I'm going to retire after this season, boss." Van Nistelrooy had to repeat it again.

Don wanted to ask again out loud, this time not because he thought he had misheard, but because it was a ...... Impulses that are mixed with disappointment, anger, and surprise.

But he stood up and discarded the idea.

"It's not April Fool's Day, Luther." He laughed, a little forcefully.

"I'm not kidding, sir."

"You're recovering so well, I can't think of any reason why you could announce your retirement early."

"It's just looking good on the surface, sir. And retiring at the age of thirty-five is not too early. ”

"If your injury hasn't healed yet, I can continue to let you recuperate, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to worry about ......"

Van Nistelrooy laughed, "That's what I'm worried about, boss. I'm a professional footballer, not someone who sits on the bench or in the stands, gets on the injury list, can't play a game and still gets paid. I've been out for a whole season and a half, and if I want to stay out for more, I might as well announce my retirement now. ”

"Hey, Luther." Donn's tone was a little harsher, "Keeping you out for more than a season, just hoping you can play longer in the future." ”

"Boss, why would a thirty-four-year-old striker want to play longer?"

Van Nistelrooy's rhetorical question stopped Donn.

Yes, at the age of thirty-four, it's basically a season that counts as a season, and you can suffer injuries or retire at any time. Why does he want to ask Ruud van Nistelrooy to play until he is thirty-six or thirty-seven?

"Hey, Luther. If I say I don't want you to retire and I want you to keep playing, do you believe it? ”

Van Nistelrooy smiled and didn't answer, apparently not convinced. It's not like a manager can say it.

Don laughed too, taking it as a joke.

'I think your experience will help the team.

Van Nistelrooy believed the explanation, but shook his head: "I'm not the only one who has experience. The Gypsies are very good. Before I moved to Forest, I just wanted to prove to Ferguson how wrong he was to let me go, never thinking that there would be those titles in the future...... Now I don't want to prove anything to anyone, I took everything I needed to take, and my career was perfect. Let's be honest, sir...... I don't have the motivation to keep playing. And you hate people who don't have motivation to play football, right? ”

Van Nistelrooy standing in Tony? In front of Donne, he smiled a little lazily in the afternoon sun.

Don opened his mouth to say something.

"I don't need to push myself with honour anymore and I don't think it's wise for me to stay in the Forest team without a sense of honour. It's better to retire and give up opportunities and places to younger people. ”

"Did you decide that way because I bought Ibisevic?"

"Nope. I thought about it when I was still lying in a hospital bed in the United States. Don't you think it's a way to help the club ease its financial burden? He laughs.

Don couldn't laugh at it, he looked at Van Nistelrooy with a serious face.

"Anyway, I've decided, sir. I won't play another season. I want to spend more time with my family in the future. Chief, you're also married, can you relate to my feelings? Playing football or doing anything, it's all about making money, and no matter how much money you make, it's just to have time to be with your family. I feel like I've reached this last stage now. ”

Van Nistelrooy always had a smile on his face.

Don knew he couldn't move the Dutchman. Retirement is one of the most important decisions in a professional footballer's life, and if he can say it, it means that he has been thinking about it for a long time. This kind of consideration is not easily influenced by others.

He sighed, a little frustrated.

"I think I'm a failure, Luther. It doesn't matter if it's you, or Demy, or David...... I've tried to persuade you to change your mind, but I've never succeeded. You never let me get what I wanted......"

Van Nistelrooy smiled and didn't answer Donn's words, he knew that Donn had actually agreed in his heart, but this strong man was unwilling to accept it happily.

"May I ask you what you plan to do when you retire?"

"Go home, go home in the Netherlands, and spend time with my wife and children."

When Don heard him say this, he suddenly felt like a "landowner". He smiled and said, "If the weather is good, just lie in the yard and bask in the sun?" ”

"Maybe it's planting flowers, teaching my kids to play football, going out shopping with my wife, traveling around,......" Van Nistelrooy laughs. The life of retirement appealed to him a lot. He can finally stop thinking about training every day, thinking about the game, thinking about how to stay in shape, thinking about fighting to the death with others in 90 minutes...... The record for the most goals scored by an active player in the Premier League, the second-highest number of goals scored in the history of the Champions League, these halos will be far away from him, but he doesn't care.

"What an enviable life......

Don sighed, put away the report on the table, and walked over to Vanney, "Let's go, go home." ”

※※※ Watching Van Nistelrooy drive the car out of the Wilford gate, Donn leaned against the front of the Mercedes Jeep that Shania had given him. The weather is nice today, the sun is shining in the Nottingham area, and although it is a little hot, it is better than rain all day long.

He suddenly wanted to bask in the blazing sun.

He never thought about how he would live without football. The first thing I do when I wake up is not to think about the training content and the opponent for the next round, but to sit in the sun for most of the day, do sunbathing, play with the kids, and then it's evening.

He felt that he would not come until he was very old.

The phone in my pocket rang.

"Hey, Uncle Tony!" Shania's voice jumped out as Don answered the phone.

"Hah, Shania."

"Is it two exercises a day today?"

"Well, no. What's wrong? ”

"I'll wait until lunch is going to be cold!" Shania was furious.

Don raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that it was already a little more than a little over...... "Ahhh I'm taking care of something here, I'm busy, I'll come out right away, I'll come out right away......" Donn held the phone as he hurriedly drove the door inside.

Vanney was right, he was also a family man, and he could relate to the feeling of wanting to be with his family.

"I'm hanging, Shania. I promise......"

Shania interrupted him: "Drive slowly, don't be in a hurry and be careful." I'm just a little worried, seeing that you haven't come back yet. Now it's okay, nothing, you drive slowly. ”

Don opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"I'll see you in a moment, Uncle Tony." Shania's mood was noticeably better, she kissed her on the phone, and hung up.

Don was still holding his phone, maintaining the posture he had just gotten into the car.

INTERVIEWER What is the reason for playing football?

- To make money.

- Why is it profitable?

INTERVIEWER I want to be able to spend time with my family.

- But in order to make money, I don't have time to spend with my family.

- This ...... Players can retire until they are thirty-four or five years old, and they still have most of their lives to spend with their loved ones. What about the manager? Ferguson is 70 years old and still in the position of manager of Manchester United...... Former Liverpool manager Houllier was at his busiest and only returned home twice a year, once when his wife gave birth and once when Christmas. The rest of the time he stayed in the hotel and was with the team.

The head coach of the England team is the highest-paid coaching position in the world, and it is also the "sweet and sweet" in the eyes of many people, but in fact, many England managers are shy away from this position. Aside from the pressure beyond the imagination of the average is the fact that being an England manager is busier than being a club manager – an England national team manager is as busy as a head of state. As a club manager, you will have some time for yourself every day, as long as you are good at using it wisely. But as an England manager, you have to stick to your post 24 hours a day.

Don thought to himself that he was lucky, and that he had help from Don and Chrislak to help him solve specific problems, so he was able to share the world with Shania. If he were a hands-on head coach, he probably wouldn't even have time to fall in love with Shania. But despite this, when he gets busy, Shania retreats into an inconspicuous corner of his life. He knew he had snubbed Shania sometimes. Especially when he takes the team to play away games, or plays two games a week, in order to facilitate the management of the team, it is convenient to study tactics with colleagues, and it is convenient to work, he lives in the hotel. Even if he's in Nottingham.

It would be nice if Shania was also busy in the field, if Shania returned to Nottingham, all that awaited her was a big dark and deserted house.

At these times he will be full of guilt, but only guilt. There's no way he's going to leave his job to spend time with his wife, and he can't even make more phone calls. The players only have to think about things on the training ground and on the playing field, and the manager has to think about ten times as many things as that, as long as he has free time, Donn's mind is always thinking about such and such things, like a perpetual motion machine, which will not stop.

Sometimes, even if he is with Shania, he will show an absent-minded side. For this, Shania was not less angry with him.

There is no such thing as a husband and wife who is not blushing, Shania and Tony are both very strong people. But almost every time there is a fight, Don lets Shania, as long as Shanya is angry, he immediately softens it, anyway, he can get hard in bed...... It's like that phone call.

Because he knew that Shania was actually a very sensible girl, and what made her unhappy was because he usually didn't care enough about her - his mind was always on football, and it had been like this since they first met. In the past, when the relationship was not clear, Shania was jealous and ate very secretly, but now she eats it openly.

Of course, he can't leave this job behind, so he can only take the initiative to admit his mistakes and relent every time Shania is unhappy. A manly man can bend and stretch, what's the big deal!

The reason for Ruud van Nistelrooy's retirement touched him today, and he thought about it so much. You don't have to think about anything, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to be with your family, even if it's summer sunbathing, you feel quite satisfied.

He began to think very seriously about when he would choose to retire.

※※※ Senia waited at home for Don to return, and she was about to turn around and take the cold meal into the microwave to warm it up. was stopped and hugged by Don from behind.

"Hey, Uncle Tony?" Shania could feel Don's nose rubbing against the back of her neck, and she was a little surprised that Don suddenly made such an affectionate move.

"Do you have any arrangements for the afternoon?" Don asked, burying his face in Shania's shoulder.

"I ...... No. ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Uncle Tony, what's wrong with you? I'm not mad at what I just did......" Shania struggled slightly, and she noticed that Donn's hand was getting harder and harder.

"Luther was retiring, and I tried to persuade him to stay, but it didn't work. He said he wanted to spend more time with his family. I suddenly envied him......" Don muttered as he lay behind Shania, sniffing her hair.

"Where do you want to go down?" He asked again.

Shania let him lie on her shoulder and said, "I don't want to go anywhere." ”

Tang En rolled his eyes twice in the back: "I still said that I wasn't angry." ”

"I'm going to be so angry if you keep me in my arms and don't let me go to the hot meal!"

Tang En hurriedly let go of his hands, but he still snorted with some nostalgia. "There is a Chinese idiom called 'beautiful and delicious,' which means that seeing a beautiful woman makes people forget about hunger...... Actually, I'm not hungry. ”

“gynophagia？” Shania frowned.

Don was shocked.

This word can also be literally translated as "Xiu Se Ke Dining" in English, but the meaning it represents is completely different from the Chinese idiom "Xiu Se Ke Dining".

The Chinese idiom "beautiful and delicious" is generally used to praise women or beautiful scenery. But in English, the literal meaning of the word "gynophagia" is actually - "eating women", which is not romantic at all, it is **naked eating. This is a type of fetish, and the surname fantasies that are triggered are often accompanied by fantasies of violence and force.

"Ahh Uncle Tony, you're such a pervert! Shania shouted.

"Nonsense! I'm talking about 'xiusekecan' in Eastern culture, not 'gynophagia'! They mean two things entirely! Don hurriedly argued. Even when he was married, he sometimes had irrepressible fantasies about Shania, but among all the fantasies he never imagined that he was going to cut off Shania's head and then dismember her for cooking...... That's disgusting!

Shania looked at Uncle Tony, whose face had changed, but laughed evilly: "Uncle Big Bad Wolf is hungry again." She set the food aside and began to unbutton her shirt.

Halfway through the solution, Donn could already see the seductive round chest behind a thin shirt, and the sunlight outside the window behind him filtered in, reflecting the inside in a haze. It's like two jelly cakes coated in a layer of cream, and they will shake from side to side when you touch them...... Shania didn't wear a bra today.

He squirmed unconsciously.

Shania smiled even more happily when she saw him like this. She lowered her hand, as if on the catwalk, and walked to Don as she walked to the kitchen door. A mischievous smile with a seductive sense of surname on his face.

When she walked in front of Don En, she gently soothed her arms and raised her face. There is a layer of moisture in his eyes, and his breath is like an orchid, and his voice is like honey sprinkled on a cream cake, sweet and greasy.

"How does the hungry Uncle Big Bad Wolf want to eat me?"

The last three sober thoughts that came to Don's mind as he buried his face were:

...... at noon This kind of life is too messy!

But if I'm retiring now, I'm going to have a lot of those afternoons...... Oh, my God! It's delicious......
