Chapter 23 Natural Coach (1)
When Sophia opened the door and found that the person who rang the doorbell was Coach Tony Donn, she was a little surprised.
"A gift for you." Tang En stuffed the gift in his hand into the woman's arms and then entered without invitation.
"Mr. Coach..."
"Tony, call me Tony."
Sophia looked at Tang En who was a little excited, not knowing what happened. "Mr. Tony..."
"Sophia, I've been fascinated by the mysterious Eastern civilization - Chinese culture recently! Do you know what day it is?"
Sophia shook her head blankly.
"Spring Festival!" Tang En raised his voice and walked up the stairs, as if he was the owner of the house. "The old year has passed and the new year has come. No matter how many unhappy things are, they should be left behind and celebrate happily! So, I brought you some gifts."
Sophia opened the gift box and lay quietly inside a violet dress. She took a light breath.
"I hope you like it. I don't know how to choose women's clothes." Tang En looked up at the upstairs, "Where is your son?"
Yesterday, the youth team matched, and today it was supposed to be a day off, but Tang En never saw Wood since he came in.
"George is out."
Tang En looked back at Sophia who was still standing downstairs, "Madam, don't you mind if I have lunch here, do you?"
Sophia smiled, "Of course not. Do you like goat curry sir? That's the delicacy of my hometown."
"Great, I like food." In fact, Don Eun is not a foodie, otherwise he would have committed suicide by traveling through the UK. "Do you have pasta here?"
Sophia nodded.
"To express my gratitude for your warm hospitality, I decided to make you a Chinese dish I learned. Come on, what are we waiting for?" He waved to Sophia.

It was lunch time, and when George Wood returned home, he found his head coach sitting at the dining table with his mother, talking and laughing.
"Why are you here?" Wood's eyes were not very friendly.
Tang En turned around and looked at the boy, his face was a little dirty and his clothes were torn. "What? Can't I come?"
"George, what's going on on your face? Go and wash and prepare for dinner." Sophia stood up and calmed down the atmosphere. "Mr. Tony came to visit your mother and gave her a gift." She turned around and took out her skirt, and asked her son in front of her: "Does it look good?"
George took a look, then went to wash his face and hands obediently: "Did you buy it in the bull market?"
Done shrugged, not defending. The dress cost him fifty pounds, and there would be almost certainly no fifty pounds skirt in the bull market.
The bull market was once a market where Nottingham farmers went to the city to buy cows and sell cows. Of course, they also traded other things, just like a large trading market, which was very lively. However, now the bull market no longer sells cows. It has become a second-hand commodity trading market, where you can buy everything from second-hand TVs to old books and CDs. Many ordinary people in Nottingham will go there to buy things, and they can buy the goods they want with a very small amount of money.
Sophia didn't mind where she bought the clothes. It can be seen that she often went out of bull markets. "As long as it looks good, it's fine." She happily went back to the house and put her skirt on her skirt, and came out to wait for her son to have dinner together.
Originally this was just an ordinary lunch, but the table was filled with goat curry carefully prepared by Sophia, sweet corn porridge, and the delicious Chinese "fried noodles" made by Donn with pasta. The meat sauce was made directly from the leftover goat meat. Adding fruits, potatoes and other vegetables, the meal was a bit of holiday atmosphere. Three people sat around the table and enjoyed their own relaxing time.
Tang En asked Wood about his situation in the youth team. Wood didn't say much, but said it was okay, but Tang En didn't know how good it was. He was very busy recently and didn't care about going to the youth team for a while. He could only wait until this period of time before going.
After lunch, Tang En smiled when he saw Wood wanting to go out but was worried. How could he not know what the kid was thinking. So he took the initiative to say goodbye with tactfulness.
Sophia was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to keep Tang En here for afternoon tea. Tang En said goodbye on the excuse that she had a date in the afternoon.
Seeing Wood breathing a sigh of relief, Tang En smiled secretly. This child who is obsessed with his mother cannot grow up...

In the afternoon, Donn drank at the Forest Bar and chatted with Michael and the others. After that victory, the two seemed to have eliminated the gap. Donn knew that Michael's full name was Michael Bernard, and he was the leader of the forest fans nearby and had a high reputation among the fans. There were even many players in the Forest team who knew him.
No wonder he can lead so many people to swear on the field.
After learning about Michael's identity, Tang En felt that it was necessary to have a good relationship with this person. However, both of them seemed to be a little embarrassed and could not get down. So the best way to improve their relationship is to win. As long as the team keeps winning and their results will rebound, the relationship will naturally warm up.
Tang En knew this very well. Not only Michael, but also others who are still hostile and distrustful towards him. No matter what he said in front of those people, no threat or begging is effective. The only way to change his attitude and become his supporters is to win and keep winning.
After the day of rest, Tang En devoted himself to training again.
