Chapter 33 Football Hooligans (Part 2)

Tang En was not afraid to face these impulsive guys. The person closest to him could hit him in the nose by just swinging his fist forward, but Tang En did not take a step back in front of these people's anger.

He threw the flag torn in half at Hodge: "Michael's son is dead, and the murderer is you!"

The bar, which was as noisy as the Colosseum, suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Tang En in shock, allowing the flag they regarded as life to fall to the ground.

Hodge was also surprised, and he asked, "What are you talking about!"

The door behind Donn was pushed open again, and Kenny Burns, sweaty, appeared in everyone's eyes. "Tony said it was right. Your people knocked down Gavin while running away, and then you and Millwall's bastards stepped on him..."

Hodge widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard. He hadn't drunk too much, and he was very clear-headed.

Done stepped forward and stared at Mark Hodge, "Glory is my life" was trampled by him and lost his golden glory.

"Football hooligan?" he sneered, turning around and leaving the dead bar. "Fuck you!"

Everyone watched him leave silently, and Hodge widened his eyes and couldn't believe all this. Burns looked at Hodge and his men in a daze, and turned around and left with Tang En.

"Kenny...you know, when I heard that Gavin was..., I really wanted to kill those bastards." Walking out of the bar, Don said.

Burns nodded: "I understand."

"But when I saw them, I suddenly felt that they were pitiful. I couldn't tell the reason, but I suddenly felt pity for them... It feels so strange. I should have rushed up and punched Hodge, why is this happening..." Tang En stood on the street with his head down and murmured.

"Tony, even if you sent them all to the hospital for half a year... Gavin can't come back." Burns patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Don looked up at Burns and nodded, "I know, I know... it's because of this that I feel angry. It's like... it's like... it's like I'm watching the team lose, but I can't do anything...failure, pain...fuck it!"

He suddenly punched the telephone booth next to him, and the glass broke all over the floor.

"I had a chance to save all this! I could not have let Gavin's death happen! I called Hodge and the others the murderers, but I knew I was too! My damn murderer..." Tang En squatted down with his head in his arms, and the blood was left on the ground.

Burns didn't stop him, but just watched him vent his anger.

Passersby carefully walked away from them, looking at the two people with fear and sympathy, thinking in their hearts that they must be in the same group of people at the Robin Hood Bar.

Cars drove past them one by one, splashing water on the roadside, but the two of them did not dodge or dodge, allowing dirty water to sprinkle on their bodies.

The next day, the Nottingham Evening Post first reported that in the last round of the League One, Nottingham fans had a conflict with Millwall fans. Then other major media reported accordingly, even big newspapers like the Times paid attention to the incident.

Fan fights are not a rare thing in the UK. The media and the public have long been used to it. There is only one reason why it can attract so many media to pay attention to fans fighting after a League One - someone is dead.

".........After the last round of the English Football League, yesterday, the fans of Nottingham Forest and Millwall, the two sides gathered to fight in an alley... In the conflict, an innocent twelve-year-old boy was unfortunately involved and died after the rescue was ineffective..."

There are only two lines of information about Gavin Bernard in the report, with nothing but age, no name, no character description. People will not know how smart and cute this innocent dead child is, how likable, and how... shouldn't be damned.

The cold report was so objective and fair that Tang En disgusted. However, when the media dig deep into the boy's death, Tang En didn't want to read the newspaper anymore, because looking at the photos of Gavin dug from the school and seeing them describing Gavin's death, Tang En felt as if he had experienced what happened that night again.

He was angry, but had nowhere to vent.

Because he is the leader of the fans, Michael has a good relationship with many players in the Forest, such as Michael Dawson, Andy Reed, Malone Halewood, Ian Jace... etc. Everyone knows that he has a smart and cute child, Gavin Bernard.

Therefore, when they learned from the media that Gavin Jr. died of a fan conflict, they almost lost the training intention. The coaches did not shout loudly on the training ground, and Don Eun would not ask them to concentrate... The whole club was immersed in a kind of sadness.

Since Gavin's mother could not admit the pain of seeing the child's body, Michael decided to be buried early. The date of the funeral was set on May 9. At the end of the training on the 8th, Donn told the players about the funeral and hoped that everyone would send the poor child to the time being.

No one objected to Tang En's decision. The coach, team doctor, assistant coach, and even the chairman Mr. Dogerty agreed with the decision. Everyone... including Tang En himself, may have forgotten that one day, they will have a strong opponent at home and play an important game.
