Volume 7 The Heart of the Lion King Chapter 17 Behind a Successful Man

The first leg of the trilogy between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal came to an end, with Forest winning by a narrow goal. Arsene Wenger was not unhappy, and the whole Arsenal team was not affected by the defeat, so Cesc Fabregas was still in the mood to exchange shirts with Wood after the game.

Don was in a good mood too. He doesn't care what Arsene Wenger's strategy is, he only knows that the victory in his hand is the safest. He never believed in such arguments as "what are we going to do in the future?" and "what are we going to do in the next round".

He then has to get the Champions League out of his mind for the time being, and the league is also a top priority.

From the beginning of April to the end of May 22, these nearly two months, it was Tony. The most crucial time of Donn's entire season, whether a season's hard work can pay off, is to be seen for two months.

They have the potential to achieve a glorious "Triple Crown", or they can collapse in the last metre and be empty-handed.

It's also the busiest day of a season, so busy that you can't take care of anything. Because of this, whenever Don returns home and sees the huge house in the dark, he feels extremely tired. A head coach like himself who has been separated from each other for a long time is estimated to be able to count them on one hand.

The good news is finally here.

After finishing her work in the United States, Shania turned down an interview and a dinner party and left early to return to the United Kingdom.

At this moment, Don took his coffee, leaned against the door frame, and quietly watched Shania busy in front of the washing machine.

Those fans who like Shania probably can't imagine a supermodel who shines on the catwalk, a maverick star in the eyes of the media, tidying up the messy room at home like an ordinary woman, picking up piles of dirty clothes, throwing them into the washing machine, and wearing an apron to wash the dishes and cook.

Don didn't mean to go up and help, he enjoyed the scene. Watching his wife busy with the family will make him feel that this is the family.

"Uncle Tony."

"Huh?"

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

"What do I have to see?" Shania smiled. "After so many years of marriage, haven't you seen enough?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to see enough."

Shania was silent for a moment, "Or, Uncle Tony, I'll quit my job as a model, right?" ”

Apparently she had misunderstood what Don meant.

"Hey, what do you say? I didn't mean that. I don't want to do anything right now, just be able to look at you. Don't think about anything else. ”

Don put down his coffee cup and walked in to help.

"But now it's okay, I don't have anything to do until the summer, and I can stay with you all the time." Shania said cheerfully. She was also looking forward to such a day. Su said that she is a high-profile star, but she is not interested in those things in the celebrity circle, she is not eager for media exposure, and rarely goes in and out of luxury stores, if she has private time, she is most willing to stay with her husband, even if it is two people nested on the sofa and watching DVDs, it is better than going out to let reporters take pictures.

So the media said she was a maverick weirdo in both the modeling industry and Hollywood.

Don smiled when he heard her say that.

In fact, a big advantage for him is that he can put all his mind on football and have no worries. But for Shania, she gets less love. It can't be helped, who made this the sprint of the season, and every season they are like this - Shania returns home to take care of Donn, she enjoys her time with her husband, and Don has to devote herself to two things, part love to his wife and part to football. It's a bit unfair to Shania......

Luckily, he has a reasonable wife, and apart from the occasional complaint about eating soccer vinegar, Shania has no other complaints.

As soon as he thought of this, Don had to thank Shania. He was able to have today's achievements, and the military medal has half of his and half of his wife. It's not easy to have a celebrity wife, let alone a celebrity wife with a surname. But when Shania is with her, she will sacrifice her surname to meet her own requirements. Feminists may think that Don is too machochauvinistic, but married life is like this, there are always people who sacrifice some of their own interests and tolerate each other.

What Donn thinks now is that he doesn't want to stay in this business until he is seventy years old, like Ferguson and then retire. Because then there will not be much time left to spend with his wife. When he retires, he will give everything to make up for the affection he owes his wife over the years.

Modeling is the rice of youth, and Shania didn't want to have any great development in movies. So when Donn retired, Shania should be 80% out of the modeling industry. At that time, the two of them should have a lot of time to arrange their own lives, first of all, Don will accompany Shania to travel around the world, to those places that have not been before, to the corners of the world, to the paradise where there is no news media and no world strife, just as the two of them are left in this world, and enjoy these two worlds to the fullest......

Don was so engrossed that he rubbed the plate in his hand and let the water flow non-stop.

"What do you think, Uncle Tony?" Shania sensed Donn's abnormality.

"Ah......" Don turned around to look at the plate that had already been cleaned, set it aside, then turned off the faucet and smiled at Shania, "I'm thinking about our lives after retirement." ”

Shania also put down her work and asked with interest, "What did you think of, is it interesting?" ”

"Came up with the idea of taking you around the world. Where do you want to go? ”

"Hmm......" Shania looked up and thought for a moment, "there are so many places to go......"

"That's okay, we have a lot of time."

"Have you already thought about the time to retire?"

"Not yet, but not until I'm sixty or seventy years old. At that time, I was old, and I could only sit in my yard and bask in the sun, which was boring. Don dried his hands and walked around Shania and wrapped his arms around her. When the time comes, we go to places that we have never been to before. Don't you like ice cream? We go all the way to eat ice cream all over the world. ”

Shania felt Don's breath blowing from behind her back, tickling the back of her neck, and she laughed and trembled in Don's arms. "Aren't you afraid that I will become a fat woman?"

"The old man is a fat woman, and he is even more compatible." Don was in the back grinding with Shania's sideburns. "We're a natural pair, Shania."

Shania did not refute Donn's "old man" and "fat woman" claims, she snuggled into Donn's generous chest and enjoyed the warm moment. When Done was struggling with a man in England, why wasn't it the same for Shania in the United States?

She longed to smell her man's breath and feel his body temperature, after a tiring day, running outside for entertainment and catwalks, and when she came home, she hoped to snuggle in her husband's arms, put all her worries away, and quietly enjoy the world that belonged to them.

She closed her eyes slightly, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, a little lazily not wanting to move.

Don, who was holding Shania, sniffed her hair greedily.

Then, both of them asked at the same time about the smell of burning......

"Ahh Egg! Shania jumped to her feet and hit Donn's nose. Uncle Tony? She turned around in panic to see Don holding his nose and holding the platform next to him with a painful expression, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes. It looks like it's not clear. "Uh...... I'm sorry, Uncle Tony......"

Don covered his nose with his left hand and pointed his right finger behind her back. Motioned for her to turn off the electricity first.

Shania scrambled to turn off the electricity and dumped the fried eggs in the pan into the trash, all of which she had done last night, and she turned back to see her husband. Don had already relented, rubbing his nose and muttering, "I hate big noses......"

Seeing him in such an embarrassed scene, Shania couldn't help but laugh.

"Laugh, you culprit!" Don glared at her, grinning as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "Doesn't your head hurt?"

Shania shook her head and continued to laugh.

"Eggs burnt, right?"

"Well, scorched." Shania glanced at the trash can at her feet, where the pitch-black fried egg was lying quietly. The smile on her face grew brighter and brighter.

"I'll do it." Don was about to go into battle himself, but Shania stopped him.

"I'll do it again, Uncle Tony. But this time you are not allowed to behave while I cook. ”

Don spread his hands innocently: "I'm just hugging you." ”

Shania straightened up and pointed to the table: "Now, sit down and get ready to eat!" ”

Don sat obediently at the table like an obedient child, holding a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, waiting for the meal to begin.

Shania smiled and turned back to make her fried eggs.

She and he enjoyed nights like this.

※※※

Shania returned to the UK to take care of Donne's daily life, and when he went to the training ground the next day, Don greeted every reporter he met with a smile on his face, much to the surprise of many people. The team is about to go to the Emirates Stadium, is his current confident smile deliberately pretending to be shown to Arsenal?

Or is there really any way for him to win?

If these reporters knew the truth, they would probably vomit blood.

Or Pierce. Bruce knows Donn best, and when he was writing Donne's biography, he specifically knew the story of the love affair between Donn and Shania, so he knew why. He said to Donn, who greeted him, "Your wife is back?" ”

Don nodded, smiled and said goodbye.

Pierce. Bruce pinched his chin and pondered for a moment. Someone next to him asked him what he was thinking, and he replied: "I was thinking that the insecurity in the Forest team has been resolved, and Arsenal may have to be careful at home......

The people around him couldn't understand what he was saying, and Bruce didn't explain. Anyway, you'll find out by the end of the week.

The next day, a gossip magazine in London, England, caught Shania shopping out. The Shania they posted was dressed as usual, without the kind of model temperament on the catwalk, and the clothes were not very tasteful and fashionable.

The magazine's editor even sneered: "...... Shania was dressed like an old woman from the countryside, which must have upset her fashion brand sponsors. Because she appeared in public wearing cheap clothes that were like buying at the local 'bull market'. Fans who are crazy about him will be disappointed when they see these photos again, and their big stars are not carrying designer clothes, but bread, cheese and eggs. She's just a housewife......"

Shania in the photo did not hide anything other than wearing a pair of sunglasses, and she didn't seem to know that she was being targeted by the paparazzi, she drove to the supermarket, and when she came out, she held a paper bag full of food and household items. Then she called, and the editor of the magazine gave her the line: "Tony, what do you want for dinner?" ”

In fact, they were very accurate, and Shania was indeed calling Don at the time, and she did ask this question...... Don was thinking about the game against Arsenal and replied a little absent-mindedly: "Don't fry the eggs again." As a result, he went back and apologized to Shania for a long time before he could have dinner.

As you can see, it's like Tony. As Tang En's popularity in the media is not good, as his wife, he is naturally inevitably sneered at.

Done then led the team to north London to prepare for the match against Arsenal. He noticed that the crowd that came to interview him was mixed with entertainment gossip reporters.

The question he asked was naturally related to Shania. Don thought it was strange why these media suddenly thought of asking Shania.

"It's not about this game, is it?" He is reluctant to answer personal questions while working.

"Will she come to the game?" A reporter asked a question that he thought was related to the game.

"Does it have anything to do with you whether she comes or not?" Don blackened his face and refused to cooperate.

Actually, Shania would come to watch the game. Ever since Don had a heart attack, Shania would try to come to watch the game as much as she could. Being closer to Tony that way would give her some security.

It was Arsene Wenger who came out to play the round: "Please don't ask questions that are not related to the game between the two teams, we have limited time. ”

If you don't ask these gossip questions, you can only ask some very boring questions. For example, "How much do you think you can get at home to Nottingham Forest?" "Does Robin van Persie's injury have a big impact on the team?" "Do two away games in a row make it difficult for you?" "Is there really no problem with the team's fitness?"

There was not the slightest spark at the press conference. Donn's performance was decent.

The media left reluctantly.

After the press conference, Donn thanked Arsene Wenger for helping him out.

The happy atmosphere between the two of them really can't tell that they are about to start two life-and-death battles here.

Arsene Wenger smiled and said, "I don't want to make you angry. You're angry, and God knows what you're going to do. He held out his hand, "I hope you're still in the mood to have a drink together after the game." ”

Don handed it over, "I don't drink, Arsena." ”

"Fruit juice is fine. As long as you're still in that mood. ”

"Why not?"

Saying goodbye to Arsene Wenger, Don received a call from Bruce, a reporter who spoke in a mysterious tone that made Donn suddenly feel that he was underwhelmed.

"Hey, Tony. That one...... Did Jordana's return help you in your final sprint? ”

"Are you doing this an interview?"

"No, no, it's definitely not an interview, and it's definitely not going to be published. I'm just a little curious......"

"When did you gossip like those entertainers, Mr. 007?"

"Hey...... Bruce just laughed dryly.

Don sighed, it wasn't a big secret anyway. "Yes, are you satisfied, Mr. 007?"

"Ah...... Thank you! I know! Bruce excitedly closed the line.

Donn shrugged as he looked at his phone.

Although Shania is not strictly a "virtuous helper", when sprinting, he needs his wife to push him behind his back......

At home, Shania always liked to snuggle up in his arms, but on the way to the championship, he felt a weak but determined figure behind him. As long as that figure was there, he felt that the thorns had become smooth, and there was a sea and sky in front of him.
