Chapter 34 Football is Above Life and Death? (Medium)

"I remember Michael saying he didn't want his son to be disturbed by the media." Don stood in the way of Pierce; In front of Bruce, he said with a frown.

Don ...... Mr. Donn, you—you've misunderstood. Bruce stood in front of Donn with his bent over, and he couldn't say anything when he was tired. I'm not here for an interview. ”

He spread his hands and gestured that he didn't have a camera or a voice recorder for the interview.

"I don't even have a battery on my phone...... Actually, I wanted to, I wanted to come and add literature flowers. ”

"But you don't know each other." Don had no intention of giving way.

'Gavin is a Forest fan and so am I.

The two looked at each other, and Don thought for a moment and asked a question: "Are all those reports in the Corriere della Sera about fan confusion from you?" ”

Bruce didn't expect Donn to ask this question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "No, I was sent to Newcastle for an interview. When I came back, I heard about it......"

Don got out of the way and said to him, "Go, the funeral is almost over...... Approximately. ”

Bruce thanked Donn, then turned and ran inside. Don looked at the young reporter who had just turned regular and thought to himself...... There are good people in the media, too.

Because Donn lived alone and had very low requirements about eating, he would often tackle this at the pub in Burns. But today, he didn't ask Burns to provide him with food, and he was alone in the bar that wasn't open yet, drinking glass after drink.

Burns didn't persuade him, on the one hand, he knew that Donn was good at drinking, and on the other hand, what did he persuade at this time? Just let him vent.

Just when Donn was a little drunk, Michael came.

"Ah, Michael! There you are...... Tomorrow's game, you—you're going to watch it, right...... Right? Don grinned and couldn't straighten his tongue.

Michael; Bernard looked at Donn, but didn't speak.

The smile on Donn's face was gone, and he stared at Michael and said, "Michael, you...... Do you have anything to say? ”

"Tony, I'm not going to the game tomorrow."

Don nodded: "I understand, you just ......"

"I won't go again."

"What?" Don thought he had misheard.

"Thank you." Michael took the glass from Burns, then turned to Don and said, "Do you want to hear the story, Tony?" ”

When Brian; Clough's Forest swept through England and European football when Michael; Bernard was in his twenties, and like most of the other youths, he was as energetic and scrappy as a stallion in his prime, and liked to show off his manhood with his fists.

He and John formed a club, the "Naughty'Forty", which only housed avid Forest fans. In Mark; Before Hodge, he was the boss of the society, and John and Bill were his right-hand men, and the three of them were always at the front of every fight, undaunted by the bricks thrown at each other and the sticks they wielded. They have been in the best years of the team with the Forest.

If the opposing fans dare to insult the Forest, they will rush up and beat the opponent to the ground. Even away from home, they don't show weakness. They are proud of their contribution to the glory of the team. They are also proud to have brothers like themselves.

Football hooligans? No, they don't admit that they think they're the most loyal and loving Forest fans.

Outside of the game, Michael's life was not satisfactory, he changed a lot of jobs, but because of his short temper and impulsive surname, it was difficult to last. But he doesn't care about that, all he cares about is the glory of his club, the results of his support, and the various topics of "Boss" Clough and the private lives of the players.

This went on for ten years. For ten years, they came together for the forest team to fight, fight, and think that this fight would continue until one day they could no longer shake their fists.

But that life changed forever on the afternoon of April 15, 1989.

'We made it all the way to the semi-finals of that year's FA Cup, against Liverpool, who were strong at the time, but before the game no one thought we were going to lose to them, on the contrary...... Liverpudlians are scared of us to death, you must think it's strange, right? Why? Because we have Clough! Liverpudlians get weak at the sight of the name...... "Michael recounts, as if he had gone back in time 14 years ago.

Don didn't speak, he listened quietly to Michael's story. He didn't care if there was no wine in the glass.

'We were in high spirits before the game and everyone wanted to beat Liverpool, get to the final and then take home that glittering trophy. Do you know...... It's been 30 years since we've won an FA Cup, and Clough has won all the trophies in the world, just one FA Cup away. You know how eager we are......" Michael stared at Don and saw Don nod before he continued.

"I still remember that day...... It was a sunny day, John and I were leaving Nottingham for Sheffield three hours early, ready for everything, just waiting for the game to start ......" Michael's speech began to slow down, the memory was too painful for him and haunted him like a nightmare for a long time.

"We were in the second stand and next door to the third stand where the Liverpool fans were. I thought it was a great opportunity for us to keep going for them......" At this point, Michael paused for a long time, but Donn had already guessed what was going on.
