Chapter 225: Santa Claus (Part 2)

Although there was one person missing, the Christmas dinner at Sophia's house was still very festive. With Sophia's careful arrangement, everyone was having a very happy evening.

Shania in Milan also received a large chinchilla doll sent to him by Don Eun by FedEx - a doll as tall as a man. Shania opened it in front of other models, and she won an envious exclamation.

This greatly satisfied the little girl's vanity. Although she was still eating fast food in the backstage during Christmas, being able to have such a Christmas gift was enough to make her the happiest among many girls.

However, she was a little troubled when answering her companions about who gave this gift...

Parents and relatives?

Surely not.

friend?

It seems to be a little distant from their actual relationship again.

In the end, she could only say this: "It was given by a very, very, very good friend."

How good is it?

It's just very good very good very good very good...

After having Christmas dinner in advance, on Christmas 26th, Donn led the team to challenge Aston Villa away and started their Christmas Devil schedule with three games in six days, two away and one host.

On this day, in Milan, Italy, girls in the same room went out to play in the fashion capital and spent the festival with a lot of shopping.

However, Shania politely declined the invitation from her companions and chose to stay alone in the hotel room. She turned on the TV and searched for a TV channel that could see Premier League games.

The second half had already begun when she finally found a channel to broadcast Nottingham Forest's away game against Aston Villa.

The TV broadcast happened to give the Forest team head coach a close-up shot. After seeing Tang En, Shania's anxious and restless heart suddenly settled down.

Aston Villa just tied the score, and the TV broadcast wanted to see what Tang En's expression was now. But Shania didn't care about the score. As long as she could see the person she wanted to watch, she would be satisfied.

On the TV screen, Don En stared at the field tightly, not knowing that the camera had locked him, nor did he know that there were still eyes looking at him far away in Milan, Italy.

David, sitting next to him; Chris Lack was saying something to him, and Don listened and nodded occasionally. Then he stood up and walked to the sidelines.

He did nothing, just walked to the sidelines and stood there with his arms and chest wrapped around his chest. But his players seemed to have received some encouragement, and the visiting team Nottingham Forest suddenly began to exert force on the scene.

Shania was stunning. Although she liked Uncle Tony to joke with her and had a smile on her face, she also liked Uncle Tony who became serious. Different appearances have different charms.

When the TV screens were transformed into a competition between the players on the court, Shania rolled her eyes. She was not interested in the game at all.

The commentary sound of the game broadcast is not Italian or English, like the Nordic language. Perhaps Danish or Norwegian.

But Shania didn't care, because she was just trying to see someone, and it didn't matter if she couldn't understand the explanation.

The Villa Park Stadium was crowded with people, and the home team fans were working hard to cheer Aston Villa, hoping that they could present a victory to supporters as a Christmas gift on Christmas night.

But Nottingham Forest will not be willing to give up the three-pointer. The two sides are now in a stalemate.

Of course, Donn would not think that the away draw with Aston Villa was an "acceptable result".

Aston Villa's head coach said before the game that he hopes that the second-place team in the league will give some comfort and confidence to Villa fans who are suffering from the team's current poor record.

It is a good thing to have the belief that one must win. But it also depends on where it is used.

Tony; Donn is not Santa Claus for Villa fans, and he also has reasons to win.

With fifteen minutes left in the game, Donn replaced Albertini with Art and strengthened the midfield offensive organization.

Tang En noticed a detail.

When Albertini saw that he was about to be substituted, he turned his head to look for George; Wood, while pulling the captain's armband from his arm. In the past, the Italians must have run over and put it on Wood at this time, and this time it was George

;Wood ran over by himself, took the captain's armband from the Italians, put it on his left arm, and then waved his left hand wearing the captain's armband, allowing his teammates to press up and guard the rear.

Since Keane left, George; Wood seems to be becoming more and more proactive, and often he uses body language to express his thoughts.

Donn knew that Roy had talked to Wood before leaving, but he didn't know the specific content of the conversation. He didn't ask Keen or Wood. He thought it was a secret belonging to them.

He was glad to see Wood was actively making some changes, which was enough.

Aston Villa did want to win this game. By the last ten minutes they had not given up on the offense, although the Forests made a big push. They also tried their best to seize the opportunity to fight back. The game suddenly became more intense in the last ten minutes.

George; Wood's performance in the defensive midfield position made everyone feel relieved. Although Keane trained for the Forest team for a short time, George; Wood did not learn anything.

Aston Villa cut off Ashley; Yang dribbled the ball and fought back. However, he didn't expect that George, who took the initiative to pounce just after passing the middle circle; Wood shoveled it off, and the shovel was fierce, but he didn't foul.

The booing sound of Vera Park Stadium could not stop the attack of Nottingham Forest.

A very simple pass, Wood passed to Arteta, Arteta passed to Anelka. Finally, the French striker used a sudden speed conversion to shake off the space for the shot, and played without hesitation. The football rolled into Aston Villa's goal against the post!

The booing was gone, replaced by the cheers of Nottingham Forest fans and the songs of "Merry Christmas".

Amid the song of "Merry Christmas", Anelka, who scored the goal, ran all the way to the bench, then took the red Santa hat from his teammates. Just when the TV audience thought he would put it on, he suddenly turned around and put the hat on Tony, who was celebrating the goal with Chris Lack.

;Tang En's head!

Then, without waiting for Donn to react, Chris Lack took out a fake white beard from his arms and stuck it to Donnn's chin.

"Ah...you guys plan!"

Tang En, wearing a red hat and a white beard on his chin, appeared in front of the TV camera like Santa Claus.

“Merry Christmas, boss!”

"How about this Christmas gift, Tony?"

Everyone laughed around Don En.

"You bastards..." Tang En wanted to scare them with a stern face, but looking at the smiling faces, he started to laugh.

In front of the TV, looking at Uncle Tony funny, Shania lay on the bed with a smile, holding the chinchilla and rolling around.

"This is the surprise given to Tony by the players; Done, it seems to be very successful! He was scared!" commentator John; Motson smiled happily.

"Poor Aston Villa, their Christmas is doomed to be associated with failure. Tony; Donne is a great Santa, but he only serves supporters of Nottingham Forest!"

"Merry Christmas! Coach Done!"
