The early morning sunlight leaked through the cracks in the curtains into the bedroom, Donn got up from the bed slightly, looked back at his wife who was still sleeping on the bed, he put on his pajamas, and left the bedroom lightly.

In the bathroom, Donn turned on the faucet, filled his toothbrush with toothpaste, folded the face towel and set it aside, he was ready to wash up and start his awake day.

But when he looked up, he was stunned.

In the mirror, a somewhat strange person appeared to him.

The criss-crossing wrinkles seemed to be carved into his face with a knife, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept in a long time. What is even more glaring is not the wrinkled and reddened eyes, but the messy gray hair on the top of the head.

Don tilted his head and stared at himself in the mirror for a long time, ignoring the fact that the water in the washbasin was still leaking down from the faucet. He still had a toothbrush in his hand, but the toothpaste on the toothbrush had slipped into the basin.

Just a month ago, he celebrated his forty-fifth birthday, September 9, 2013. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years since I crossed over here. If it weren't for this incident, he would have only been twelve years old now, which is still young, and he is still at an age where he can eat and wait for death, and he can also be qualified to pretend to be a young man on the Internet, completely ignoring the complicated philosophical question of where life comes from and where he is going.

But here he is forty-five years old. Although fifty and a half years old, how many people can live to be one year old? Ninety years old is considered a high life, and forty-five years old has already passed more than half of his life. Look at the old self in the mirror. For the first time, Donn thought of a question - even if I didn't have a heart condition, I wasn't far from death. The rest of this life must not be as long as the years I have already had.

Just thinking like this, a sadness welled up in my heart. When will I start to slowly 10 "> become a person with limited mobility, slurred speech, confused thinking, unable to speak loudly, unable to run a few meters in one breath and breath evenly. The old man who can only sit in a wheelchair and is slowly pushed out to bask in the sun by others?

I used to think that image was too far away from me. Why does it feel so close now?

The commotion alarmed Shania, who was reluctant to get up while lying in bed.

In fact, when Don got up, she also woke up. Lying on the bed and watching her husband lightly unwilling to disturb her appearance, she held back her laughter behind her back and held back very hard. From the time Tony entered the bathroom, the sound of water started to sound, and it was almost ten minutes now, and the sound of water had not stopped.

The languid smile on Shania's face vanished, and she got up from the bed. Called: "Uncle Tony? ”

No one answered him.

Shania suddenly felt her heart beat wildly, and a bad thought came to her mind - could it be that Tony's heart attack had happened again?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly jumped out of bed, didn't care about her clothes, threw her shoes aside, wore only a pair of underwear, ran barefoot from the bedroom to the bathroom next door.

She didn't see Uncle Tony lying unconscious on the ground. When she saw Don holding a toothbrush and standing in front of the mirror with his head tilted and stunned, she finally let out a sigh of relief and laughed.

"You're scared the hell out of me, Uncle Tony."

No one answered her.

"Uncle Tony!" Shania had to raise her voice and shouted.

"Huh? What the? Oh......" Don saw Shania's appearance, and immediately understood in his mind. "You're cranky again, aren't you?"

Shania rolled her eyes: "You are like a dead man, telling you not to answer anything." Of course I'm not reassured. She walked over and stood behind Donn, stretching out her hands to gently wrap her arms around him.

"What are you looking at? So fascinating. She grinded lightly in Donn's ears.

"Look at my gray hair." Don grinned wryly.

"Just dye it black." Shania kissed Don on the back of the neck. "What's more, it's not all white, it's just that the sideburns are a little white......"

The couple in the mirror are so affectionate, but visually speaking, they are not very harmonious. The man looks old, and the woman's naked carcass exudes youthful vitality and enthusiasm. If they hadn't done such an intimate thing, it would have made people suspect that the two in the mirror were father and daughter.

"Dye your hair?" Tang En thought for a moment and nodded: "It's good to pay attention." But I never thought I'd need to dye my hair one day. ”

Shania smiled: "It's that people will get old, do you think I'm young now?" It's not like you in decades. If you wake up every morning and feel like this, you will age faster. My philosopher, Uncle Tony. ”

Don felt the two plump balls of flesh on his back. He began to react underneath. But now was clearly not the time to do that kind of thing, and he turned around. Grabbed Shania by the shoulders and shoved her around. "Get dressed, don't catch a cold."

The sharp-eyed Shania saw the abnormality underneath him, and smiled proudly: "Look, Uncle Tony." I just did it yesterday, and I have this desire in the morning to prove that you are not old at all! ”

After saying that, she laughed and ran out before Tang Enyang made a gesture to fight.

When Donn drove to Wilford's training base, he saw Pierce outside. Bruce. The other party frowned with a cigarette in his mouth, looking very old.

Perhaps because of this morning, Don now sees everyone trying to observe each other from the change in their appearance. Time has changed many people, and he wants to see what these changes look like.

"Hey, Mr. Bond. What are you doing so melancholy early in the morning? In the car, Don poked his head out and took the initiative to greet the other party.

"Ah, Tony...... You promised me an exclusive interview......"

"It will be arranged another day."

"Don't change the day, Tony. The boss said that if I can't get your interview, I will look good. Help......" Bruce frowned, a melancholy expression. It turned out that he was worried about this.

"Okay, okay, it's noon today, in the Wilford Ground restaurant. We ate and talked. ”

After Donn finished dealing with Bruce, he was surrounded by more reporters, scrambling to ask him questions.

"Mr. Donn! Can you tell us more about Lennon's transfer......"

The reporter touched Donn's scales, and he glared at the other party viciously: "It happened almost two months ago. What else is there to say? If you really can't find a question to ask, I suggest you ask me what I ate this morning. What do you plan to eat at noon, and how do you want to eat at night! ”

Yes, it was two months ago......

Alan. Due to Lennon's outstanding performance in the Forest team, England is currently almost the same as the Forest team. Left Lennon, right Bentley, "Little Tiger" Walcott were all squeezed to the bench, fortunately for Capello. It's a blessing to have multiple high-quality players to choose from in the same position.

In the club, Lennon can play left or right is a good help for him, because he can get more appearances than others. So when he gets better and better, when he matures, he also attracts more attention from the club.

A number of clubs have made offers to Forest this summer for Lennon, a wide striker who can play both sides and left. But Donn insisted on not selling. He has cultivated people himself, from the youth team to the first team, and has a good relationship within the team. Now is the year of fighting, how can it be sold?

But in the end he left the Forest team. The reason is simple, Inter Milan made an offer that Nottingham Forest could not refuse - ten million pounds!

Allan. Despite Donn's objections, Adams resolutely intervened in the transfer and forcibly sold Lennon to Inter Milan. At that time, the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel. It's almost a real fight in front of Ai. So much so that when there were many rumors in the media that the two giants of Nottingham Forest were not compatible, Don did not say a word of clarification - he always disagreed with that money fan. Egg whites?

Later, Chris Rac comforted Don and said that in fact, Lennon also wanted to go. After all, Inter Milan are able to offer a higher salary and other bonus packages. Of course, Donn knew this, but he felt that without Allen's intervention, with his personal charm, he could at least keep Lennon for another two seasons, and if Lennon still wanted to leave, he would have nothing to say. Because Adriano. Mock has also fully grown up.

It's not that he can't accept the sale of Lennon, what he can't accept is that Alan broke the original agreement and forcibly interfered in his work. For Tony, who likes to take everything into his own hands and believes in authority. Don said. This can even be said to be a shame. He didn't resign at the time. It's already counted as looking at Egypt. Dogotti and the team are on the face. After all, it's easy to leave, and it's easy to find a better-paying job with his achievements. But spending 10 years developing a team that is ready to come and win is not something that can be said and done. Today, Nottingham Forest is his whole life. There is still no crystallization of love between him and Shania, and Nottingham Forest is like his place. With deep feelings, he really can't let go of this ten-year-old fat boy.

For the past two months, Bruce, who was familiar with Donne's temper, did not dare to put Lennon's name in front of Donn, and the young reporter was a novice at first glance......

Donn stirred up the question, and he turned his anger on all the reporters. Without answering any questions, with a gloomy face, he rolled up the window and drove the car into the gate of the training base.

The reporters began to complain, of course, they didn't complain about Tang En, after interviewing Tang En for so many years, what kind of temper he was A group of old reporters have long figured it out.

They complained about the young journalist:

"Are you new here? Do you know the rules! A middle-aged man shouted in an unkind tone to the reporter who asked the question.

"Who told you to ask such idiotic questions? Which media are you? Another man with glasses and who usually looked absolutely polite also stared at the other through gritted teeth.

"The problem that was already fried two months ago, what else are you going to do with it?" The tone was quite polite in the angry crowd.

"Do you know who you're interviewing? Not the 'good old guy' Kai. Keegan, is Tony. Dawn! Tony. Dawn! He was an intern journalist...... I hate newcomers who don't know anything the most......"

A group of people scattered with scolding. Bruce looked at the young reporter who was stunned. I walked up and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and without saying anything, I left.

He thought about his time as a trainee reporter. Needless to say, this little will always understand.

Speaking of which, the journalists gathered near Wilford are probably the most peculiar group in all of England. The best and most experienced reporters from all media outlets are sent here to carry out interviews, and few media send novices here, because it will only humiliate themselves - not to mention whether they can get a head start in the "news war" of a group of old fritters. Just said that the subject of the interview was Tony, who is known as "the most difficult to deal with in English football". Dawn. That's not a task that a novice can do.

Who is not a veteran reporter who can often appear here to cover Nottingham Forest? These people are in a long "battle" with Donn. A number of strategies have been developed to deal with the uncertain king of the forest. They knew Don better than they knew their wives and children. What is "Old Fritters"? "Old fritters" are to know what to ask in what situation, to know which questions should never be asked, and to know which questions to ask may cause Done's violent reaction, but at the same time can also cause more newsworthy results. Knowing how to ask those intense questions is likely to receive the best responses......

These are all experiences. It's like a pro footballer, you don't play too much and never know what it's like......

Novice players will one day become seasoned veterans. And rookie reporters will always become senior reporters in their own right.

Like a clumsy coach who was hit by his own man on the sidelines, he has now won two European Champions Cups, two Premier League trophies, an English League Cup, a World Club Cup, and two Premier League Community Shields. Two-time European champion coach.

※ ※ ※

City stadiums are usually quiet when there are no games, but sometimes this tranquility is broken by guests thousands of miles away.

A luxury bus was parked in the parking lot outside the City Stadium, and a pair of yellow-skinned and black-haired Oriental people wearing red peaked caps followed a tall fair-skinned beauty into the team honor room inside the City Stadium.

"Look, this is the Nottingham Forest Hall of Fame. All the honours and trophies that the Forest team has won since its inception are displayed here. "The beautiful tour guide is an Englishman. Her Chinese pronunciation is not standard, but it is enough to be a tour guide and translator.

And the team's current head coach, Tony Brown. Since taking over, Donn has already won an English League Cup. The guide pointed to a small trophy in the cabinet. There are also two Community Shield titles. She pointed to two silver medals shaped like shields. Two European Super Cups and one World Club Cup......" The tour guide beautifully introduced the trophies of different sizes, unique shapes and silver glitters to the tourists behind her as she walked.

"There are also two Premier League trophies in the English top flight. The one on the right was won in the 07-08 season, when Nottingham Forest won the double. The one on the left is very new, and it is Tony last season. Coach Donn led his players to capture. ”

She walked over to a large glass case in the middle of the room, then stopped. Pointing to the four trophies inside, he proudly introduced.

"These four big ear-shaped trophies are the crowning honor among European football clubs - the European Champions Cup!"

Some of the people in the crowd who knew the ball let out a burst of exclamation. Others were expressionless. I just stared curiously at those silver glittering trophies, wondering in my heart if this would be made of real silver......

Visitors surround the glass case. Although there are rules against taking pictures, fans in the crowd will still pull out their digital cameras or mobile phones to take pictures secretly. It's not easy to see four European Champions Cups on the list at the same time.

The tour guide did not notice the tourists' actions, and she continued to explain to everyone how much the trophy weighed.

"All of Europe! The teams that have won four trophies can be counted on one hand: nine-time European Cup winners Real Madrid, six-time AC Milan, five-time Liverpool, four-time Ajax, four-time Bayern Munich and four-time Nottingham Forest! And in Tony. Under the leadership of Coach Donn, the fifth Champions Cup is not far away! ”

Someone in the crowd raised their hand and asked, "Miss Trihy, are you Tony. Is Donn a die-hard fan? ”

The beautiful tour guide heard this question and laughed: "At least half of the people in Nottingham are his die-hard fans. ”

The four championship cups are quietly placed in glass cases, silently accepting the surprised or envious eyes of those outside. Each of them has a legend to tell, and the thieves who played in the European Champions Cup for the first time in Munich shocked Europe with their swords unsheathed. In Madrid, they defended their title against a tough opponent with the European Footballer of the Year. In Athens, they returned to Europe's top league to overshadow the king AC Milan. Don arrogantly shouted the "" rhetoric, but unfortunately no one could make him fulfill this promise. Eastwood beat Chelsea in the pouring rain in Moscow to help Forest defend their Champions League title for the second time, and they also achieved a remarkable double that season!

If you listen quietly, you can still hear cheers echoing in each trophy, coming from distant time and space, a little blurry.

“…… Sizzle...... It's over! 1：0！ Nottingham Forest, an English team competing in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, won the title! ”

“…… Robson's goal! …… It's game over! Brian. Clough led his team to successfully defend the title at the Bernabeu! They are the kings of Europe......"

"Freddie. Eastwood! Lore! …… Tony. Don finally led the team to lift the Big Ears Cup! They defeated the mighty AC Milan! ”

"It's raining heavily in Moscow, but no amount of rain can extinguish the passion of the Nottingham Forest fans! It's Freddie again. Eastwood! It's the final lore again! This time it was the Blues who fell under Robin Hood's arrows, Chelsea...... This is Nottingham Forest's fourth Champions League trophy in their history! Banzai! Double Crown!! ”

The tourists from China left, the lights in the honor room went out a few times, and the room went dark. Only the trophies still shimmered faintly in the darkness.
