Chapter 74 Welcome Home, Tony(2/2)

The last one to run out was central defender Pepe. In this game, he and Brazilian central defender Thiago Silva started. The fans gave him applause and cheers, but he did not waved like the previous teammates, and ran out with his head high.

Before he ran on the court and gathered with his teammates, he turned a corner in the middle and ran straight to the visiting team coach's seat.

Then in full view of everyone, he made an action that no one expected - he opened his arms and Tony Tangen, who was caught off guard, gave a bear hug.

The cheers came to an abrupt end.  The huge Crimson Field suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence.

"...Pepe gave Tony. Tang En an unexpected hug. He seemed to be saying something in Tang En's ear..." The commentator couldn't tell what happened to Pepe. Now as long as he was not a fool, he could see the disgust of the Forest fans to Tang En. Then, as a Forest player, he still had to risk offending all the fans to express his affection to Tang En. Why? Don't he want to continue to hang out in this team?

Tang En in the TV camera was also surprised. He was not because of Pepe's actions, but because of what Pepe said in his ear.

"I'm sorry, boss." Pepe whispered in his ear. At this time, the stadium was quiet and his voice could be clearly reached into Don't have a clear voice. "I decided to leave here. After playing this game, I'm going to Milan, Italy. AC Milan, that's my next stop..."

Hearing Pepe's words, Tang En suddenly felt that the life-and-death final of the Champions League two months ago was like a dream...

"I know why you left the team, so I don't want to stay here either. Thank you, boss, thank you. The years of playing football under your hands are my most precious wealth."

After Pepe said that, he hugged Tang En hard again, then let go and ran back to the stadium. There was no cheer this time, if you listen carefully, you could hear some sporadic boos.

Tang En was still sitting in a leather seat, staring blankly at Pepe who returned to the team.

"Pepe! You really did it!" Gareth Bale widened his eyes and looked at the central defender running back.

"Hehe, do you think I'm joking?" Pepe, who came back, smiled proudly. "I'll do what I say!"

Pepe was boasting about his "feat" with his teammates, but Evan Dogette on the rostrum stared at his back and looked gloomy. This was the first time someone in the team has openly challenged his authority. This is a dangerous signal. He originally did not intend to consider the offer from those giant teams to Pepe, after all, this is the core of the Forest's defense. But now, he has to change his mind. Just won the triple crown, and the 31-year-old Pepe can still sell it at a good price. If he is a year later, he may not be able to sell it even if he wants to...

Don En didn't have to look up and look back, and you could know what the expression of the chairman Evan Dogerty was at this moment. The fans at the scene booed him together, which must have made Evan very happy, because it meant that the fans did not point the gun of hatred at the club, but at themselves. In this way, his pressure was gone. But Pepe's actions expressed the dissatisfaction of some people within the team with the club's senior management, which was a very dangerous sign. The locker room began to split.

The photographers surrounding Tang En all dispersed, and now their targets are those players. Thanks to their blessing, Tang En could see the players of the Forest Team when he sat in a chair.

Those people are lined up to take photos. This is not the kind of official family portrait that every club will take before the season, but it is very likely that this is the last full family portrait in the Tony Donne era.

What is more heartbreaking than watching the dynasty that you built with your own eyes collapse?

Tang En thought for a long time but couldn't find it.
