Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 888: Volume Seven Traces of the Heart of the Lion King

The soap opera from last night is being replayed on TV, but no one is watching it. The TV in the bar is just to create a little atmosphere. The business here is average in the afternoon, especially after the season is over. Burns leaned against the bar to wipe the row of glasses on the counter, while John and Bill and the gang gathered in one corner, drinking bored to pass the time.

"The days without football are so boring... huh -" Bill stretched out and yawned, tears squeezing out.

"You look like a drug addict, Bill. And you're so thin...ha!" someone next to him teased him.

"Being addicted is also addicted to football!" Bill glared at each other and continued to lie on the table, scratching the glass with his nails. "The end of each season is my hardest time..." he moaned weakly.

"Fortunately, the World Cup will start soon. Who of you has tickets?" John asked beside.

"I!"

"I have got!"

"Full set!"

Everyone raised their hands.

John looked at them and laughed: "Awesome, we can be together again this summer! Haha!"

"Maybe you can still meet Tony." Someone suddenly said this, and everyone was stunned and followed.

"Yes, he is also explaining the game in Brazil!"

"Oh, it's a contradiction now... I want to go to the scene, but I don't want to miss listening to Tony's commentary..."

A group of people chatted and talked about Dunn.

At this moment, the image on the TV screen flashed suddenly, and then from a fierce London street shootout to a news studio, a male anchor wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting in jeopardy.

"Now we will broadcast the latest news we received..."

Bill was lying on the table, looking around boredly, just to catch a glimpse of this change on TV. He became interested and simply raised his head to see what the announcer was going to say.

The picture changed again, to a place familiar to him-City Stadium.

A reporter holding a microphone stood outside the gate of the city stadium, pointed at the building behind the camera and said: "Just now, the Nottingham Forest Club held a press conference. Club President Evan Daugherty announced at the conference. The contract renewal negotiations between Nottingham Forest and Tony Dunn are officially terminated. After the contract expires, Dunn will no longer serve as the head coach of Nottingham Forest..."

Bill stood up abruptly, kicked the meaning behind him, and knocked over the beer glass on the table. Shattered, everyone sitting next to him was startled, for fear that the wine would drip on their pants.

"Hey! Bill! What are you doing?"

"Did you drink too much?"

Bill didn't respond to this, he just stared at the TV with his eyes wide open, his mouth opened, as if he was frightened.

John looked back at the TV, except for one or two people who were still worried about their crotch, everyone else looked up at the TV.

The scene of the press conference just now is being replayed on the screen.

Evan Daugherty sat on the stage, facing many microphones, and said without expression: "...We are sorry to announce this news. Because there was no agreement with Mr. Tony Dunn on the contract extension. , The two sides decided to terminate the negotiations. After the contract expires, Tony Dunn will no longer continue to serve as the head coach of Nottingham Forest. We thank him for all his contributions to the club over the past 11 years and thank him for leading the team Twelve championship trophies returned. We wish him luck."

The bar suddenly became quiet, and the sound of the TV was clear. Burns also stopped working and looked up at the TV screen.

The beer on the table dripped onto the crotch of the sitting person, and a piece of it was wet, but these people didn't notice it.

George Wood was walking with his mother in the sun outside in the garden when his cell phone rang.

It was the agent Wookes calling: "Good afternoon George, what are you doing?"

"Walk with mom." Wood looked at his mother who was nestling next to him.

"Well, it seems that you didn't watch TV. I have a message to tell you." Wuxton said after a while, "Tony Dunn resigned."

Wood didn't realize what this meant at first, because he had never had such a concept in his mind. But then he recovered and asked: "What?"

"In the news just now, the forest team and Dunn's contract renewal negotiation failed, and the two sides did not renew the contract. So after June 30th, he will no longer be your leader."

Wood stopped, Sophia noticed the strangeness of her son, and stopped to look at him.

Wood did not speak any more, and silently hung up after listening to the call.

"George?" Sophia called softly. "What happened?"

Wood looked at his mother and hesitated before saying, "The boss has left the forest team."

Sophia gave a surprised "Ah", and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes still widening.

"Mr. Dunn..."

Wood nodded. Mother must find it incredible, but why does it feel empty in my heart? It seems to have lost a very important thing...

The Premier League is over, and the Premier League is naturally over. Tang did not stay in the UK at this time, but flew back to his hometown in Sichuan with his fiancée. He had to personally tell his parents the most important decision in his life, and it was absolutely impossible to call.

Tang Jing rested her head on Tang's shoulders, enjoying the green scenery of southern Sichuan along the way. The two of them were sitting on a long-distance bus from Chengdu to their hometown. As the head coach of a British championship team, Tang is not well known here, they are like any ordinary person in this car.

In his previous life, Tang never thought that one day he would get married, and he would still be married to a Chinese woman. He felt that he had to thank someone for having today-Tony Dunn, the former self, the current him. Although Tony has achieved career success, he has gained family and love. He thinks it's a bargain, and maybe he is taking advantage of it...

So after Tang decided to tell his parents about Tang Jing’s marriage, he went to visit Tang Jing’s parents and called Tang En and invited them to attend his and Tang Jing’s wedding this summer—he didn’t notify Tang in advance. Well, on the one hand, Dunn was very busy at that time, busy leading the team to sprint to the Triple Crown. On the other hand, he also wanted to surprise Dun En.

This happy couple who is about to enter a new life does not know what is happening on the other side of the earth. But I believe they will know soon.

※※※

The Champions League was over long ago, Chen Jian did not call Dun En, and he did not receive any more news from Dun En. But he felt that he had a plan in his heart, especially when he saw the Forest team win the Champions League, he followed with enthusiasm, and he couldn't possibly be one of them.

He thinks he should dedicate himself to this team in the future.

But after a day, Mr. Xia kept pouring cold water on him again. Let him not blind his mind on impulse. Nottingham Forest is not what he can dream of now. Winning the Triple Crown will only make them more inclined to buy famous stars instead of training their own players. Chen Jian didn't get any benefits from going to such a place. After sitting on the bench for a few years, he finally realized that he had chosen the wrong one before leaving sadly. This is his future.

He decided to pack up his things and go back to Sichuan to be with his family, which might calm his wobbly heart.

In the past few days, Mr. Xia kept tapping on Dunn's cell phone, and all the feedback he got was "The user you dialed is turned off." He was very annoyed. He left Chen Jian and flew to England alone. He must catch Dunn and ask him what he intends to do.

Chen Jian went back to China alone.

When he was waiting for the plane at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with a big bag on his back, he suddenly received a call from a stranger.

"Hi, Chen Jian." Tang En's Chinese accent is a bit strange, but it is not easy for a foreign devil to speak Chinese so smoothly, so the small difference in the accent is nothing.

This call is from Dunn.

"Where are you now?" Dunn was a little noisy over the phone, as if there was still a radio sound.

"Airport, Amsterdam's airport." Chen Jian replied.

"Ah, are you ready to go home? Can you tell me your future plans?"

Chen Jian was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I think, I want to renew my contract with the club..."

Dunn gave a soft "ah" over there, but then said, "I suggest you don't do that."

Chen Jian was surprised. Isn't the opponent Tony Dunn, the head coach of Nottingham Forest? Otherwise, why doesn't he help the team?

"You haven't watched the news these days? Didn't you pay much attention to Nottingham Forest?" Dunn smiled. "I resigned."

Chen Jian shook his hand in fright and the phone almost fell to the ground. It's incredible...it's like hitting a ghost in broad daylight.

Dunn guessed how Chen Jian would react at this time. I left the Forest team too suddenly, and I just left after winning the championship. The difference is too big, and it is really unacceptable for ordinary people.

"You know, Chen Jian. I decided to sign with you at the beginning because I was optimistic about you. But who would have thought it would be like this now?" He was naturally referring to leaving the Forest Team by himself. "I don't know who my successor will be, and I didn't recommend it to the club. So I don't know what the new coach's attitude towards you is. I don't even know if the team will renew your contract. Yes. If I were there, I would definitely give you a contract, but unfortunately you didn't sign it before, and you don't have to sign it now." Dunn said with a smile. "Your agent is right, Chen Jian. Clubs like Nottingham Forest are very utilitarian. They don't have the patience to slowly grow a young man unless you show a very, very amazing talent from the beginning."

But I have no such talent. Chen Jian said in his heart. He is still very self-aware.

"Your ideal is to play professional football, so where do you not play? I think you are not going to Nottingham Forest now. Like your agent said, going to a small team will help you step by step. Bigger."

"You mean... you mean to leave the forest to go to some small clubs?"

"I heard that the Netherlands and Belgium have teams that are of interest to you. Although they are not the top European leagues, they can also train people."

This suggestion made Chen Jian a little discouraged. He finally mustered up the courage to face the new challenge in Nottingham Forest.

"Even if you renew your contract with the club, you still have to be loaned out. You can't play for the Forest without a labor license. Your best time is wasted if you don't play the game. So my suggestion is to transfer to the right The team you are interested in can guarantee your number of appearances, ensure that you get exercise, while waiting for the call of the national team, accumulating experience and reputation, and the number of matches for the national team..."

Chen Jian interrupted Dunn's words: "If I don't plan to play for the Forest team anymore, what do I care about the number of games played by the national team, Mr. Dunn?"

"Good performance, what if other Premier League teams are interested in you? For example, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc.... If someone comes to your door and you are not enough to apply for a labor license, then more What a pity?" Dunn explained with a smile.

Chen Jian thought about it in his mind, and always felt that it was a fantasy. But he did not refute Dunn.

"In short, from your own point of view, Nottingham Forest is not for you right now."

Chen Jian fell into deep thought and was shocked by everything he heard today. Tony Dunn resigned unexpectedly and called to advise him not to stay in the forest team... He even suspected that what he had seen and heard a few days ago was all illusion lies.

This world is crazy...

"I... uh, let me think about it, Mr. Dunn."

Dunn smiled again: "You don't need to tell me this. I don't care about those things now... Make your own decisions about your affairs and be responsible for yourself. I'm just suggesting, and I didn't ask or order you how to do it. You Slowly think about it, anyway, there is still one year before the contract expires. You decide the path yourself, and you go by yourself."

After saying this, Dunn closed the line.

Chen Jian took the phone and sat in a chair in a daze. He was still chewing Dunn's words in his heart.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, his future would undergo another earth-shaking change. Since he decided to leave school, leave his motherland, and leave his hometown to pursue his dream of professional football, the road under his feet has not been smooth. But he hadn't regretted it, and regret was useless. He can only go on like this.

Chen Jian didn't think about it for too long this time. When the airport broadcast reminded him that the flight he was taking was starting to board, he dialed the number of his agent, Mr. Xia.

"Uncle Xia, you don't need to go to Mr. Dunn. I think it's OK. If the Belgian or Eredivisie teams are interested in me, please contact them. I have to get on the plane, so be it, Uncle Xia. Call me when I arrive."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, got up and pulled the suitcase to the boarding gate.

There was a loud roar from outside the window, which attracted his attention. Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the next plane in the blue sky had just taken off and soon disappeared into the blue sky, leaving only a white trace.
