Chapter 2 Children
"Tony Don announced his retirement!"
"This time I'm saying goodbye completely!"
"Unbelievable, he will choose to leave at the peak of his career..."
“His retirement is a major loss to English football!”
Even the media that were blacklisted by Donne after the final were regretful for his departure. Although Donne will resign as England head coach after the World Cup is not news, no one could have thought that he would choose to say goodbye completely - retire.
The news that England won the World Cup championship was only on the front pages of major media for two days before being replaced by Don Eun's decision.
There were many rumors about why he retired for a while, but none of them were worthy of belief, because Tang En did not further explain why he retired instead of simply resigning.
"You actually resigned?" Shania widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Tang En sitting opposite her.
Tang En smiled and admired the expression on his wife's face, even if she was surprised, she looked so beautiful.
"Yes, I resigned! Are you unhappy? I see you are just surprised."
"Uh..." Xianya didn't know if she was happy after hearing the news, or if she should be happy.
The two people are not in the UK, but in Paris, France. Shania has a show here, and Don Eun comes to accompany her.
"I want to give you a surprise, do you like it?"
Tang En opened his arms and waited for his wife to pounce in.
But Shania didn't do that. She just tilted her head and looked at her husband carefully. "I'm wondering how many days you can hold on this time..."
This made Tang En blush. Last time, Tang En said he resigned and would not come back, and stayed with Shania with peace of mind, but he regretted it every month. After receiving a call from London, his heart was about to move again.
"This time I'm retired!" Tang En raised his right hand and sweared, "I have nothing to do with football."
But Shania just laughed. She was not a stupid woman who believed in anything if a man said that.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Tang En had to give up, "Let the time prove it all."
Seeing that he was feeling a little depressed, Shania went over and snuggled in his arms: "You resigned again, what would George think?" The last time he resigned from the position of coach of Nottingham Forest, Wood had a cold war with him for a long time. Shania was clear about this.
"Don't worry this time." Tang En gently patted Xianya's back. "I've communicated with him a long time ago."
George Wood received a call from Pierce Bruce, asking him about "insider information" about Donn's retirement.
"He said he wanted to rest." Wood's answer was as concise as ever.
"It's that simple?" Bruce couldn't believe his ears. How could such an important thing be decided so simply?
"Um. "
"Why is this happening...wait!" Bruce reacted, "When he told you, you didn't try to keep him?"
"I have it, but it's useless." Wood was honest and didn't lie.
Bruce pondered for a while: "George, can you tell me the situation at that time in detail?"
"This..." Wood hesitated a little.
Bruce took retreat to advance: "If he doesn't let you say it, then forget it, I won't make you embarrassed, George."
"No. He didn't say that..." Wood shook his head.
He thought of a month ago, on the eve of England preparing to go to Australia, Donn suddenly called Wood to his hotel room and said something important to him.
"Originally, this matter shouldn't be told before such an important event. But I believe in your psychological quality, and then I'm afraid there will be many other things that will interfere with you and I can't sit down and talk like today." Tang En said straight to the point, "My contract will expire after the World Cup, and I don't plan to renew the contract. You know this, right?"
Wood nodded. Not only he knew, but all England knew. After the Federation Cup, England returned with great reputation. The media speculated that the FA should offer Don En a new contract. After all, there was only one year left before the World Cup. However, the FA did not do this at that time. Instead, he said that he would wait until the World Cup ended and then decide whether to renew his contract with Don En. There was a lot of distrust of Don En in his words.
Although Tang En did not have a public temper, he lost trust in the FA because of that matter. He could not find a cooperative relationship between him and the FA. He knew that both sides were only left with mutual use. Barclays wanted to use the achievements he had led the team to consolidate his position, but was unwilling to pay for his possible failure in the future. Tang En only had an annual salary of 14 million pounds per year.
Since that's the case, it's better to cut off the FA's thoughts as soon as possible. So after reaching the World Cup finals through the play-offs, Don En issued a statement claiming that he would not renew his contract with the FA. No matter what the team's record in the World Cup is, he left his current position after the competition.
At that time, England only barely won tickets to the finals. Volkswagen is not optimistic about England's good results in the World Cup, so there is no objection to Don't say anything about Don't. In their opinion, Don't find a way out for himself in advance. If England's performance in the finals is bad at that time - in their minds, this possibility is still very large - he can also go more decent, at least he will not be knocked off the stage...
Seeing Wood nodding, Donn said again: "But this time it was not simply retreating from the position of England's head coach, but leaving completely. Retirement, I decided to retire."
Wood looked up and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
"I'm not kidding or something, George. I tell you, it's because I don't want to hurt you again." Tang En refers to his farewell without saying goodbye.
"Why retire?" Wood asked.
"In order to leave more time for my wife, I have been too tired and busy in recent years and have never cared about Shania." The head coach of the England team may be the busiest head coach in the world. And in the highly developed paparazzi, there is almost no private life at all. Tang En's words are not exaggerated and pretentious. "I will be fifty in September next year. How much time can I have to be with her?" Wood has a different relationship with him, so Tang En could tell him with such sincerity. Otherwise, with his approach of maintaining an image in front of outsiders, he would not be very close to others.
This sentence made Wood fall into silence. He faced the same problem as Tang En, and his mother's health was getting worse and worse. Why did he not have a girlfriend? It was because for him, maybe it wasn't long before he could be with his mother.
Because of the same mood, Wood had no position to keep him.
"So it's because of this..." Bruce pondered after listening to Wood's story.
Tony Don is really a controversial figure. Even if he led England to the world championship, his popularity was unparalleled. His retirement decision still caused quite a lot of controversy. Not every fan understands his decision. If it is for this reason, then there may not be anyone complaining again, right?
"I understand, George. Thank you."
Bruce thanked Wood and hung up the phone, but Wood didn't know if he told a reporter whether he did the right thing.
But he quickly shook his head and threw away this idea. If there is any problem, the person who should have a headache is Tang En, not him. Who told Tang En to leave him again?
"After the Paris show, do you have any arrangements?" Don En asked his wife who snuggled in her arms.
"I have a vacation." Shania heard what Tang En said, "Do you have any arrangements? Uncle Tony?"
Tang En was silent for a while, as if he had made a great determination. He looked at Shania again and said, "Let's go to China to adopt a child."
This decision was really beyond Shania's expectations. She broke free from Tang En's arms and looked at her husband in surprise. It seemed as if she had heard it wrong.
"I'm sorry I can't let you get pregnant..." Tang Endi's tone was full of apology and guilt. He has been in a glorious life since he was reborn and traveled through time. He was proud of his career and married a supermodel wife who was 21 years younger than him in life. But this incident made him very depressed. I don't know if it was the sequelae of traveling through time. Perhaps God had punished him with a little bit of career and love, or because he had made too many enemies and suffered retribution... He seemed to have lost his ability to have fertility.
Shania reached out to cover Tang En's mouth. She stopped him from continuing to blame herself: "The person I fell in love with is Uncle Tony, not a stallion. Even if there is no child, it doesn't matter. I love you, Uncle Tony." She was a little worried that Tang En would think that the couple's relationship would have cracks due to her physical defects, and she had to make Tang En's heart feel.
Tang En, who was covered by Shania's mouth, couldn't speak. He could only stare into his wife's eyes, and Shania also stared at him. The two of them said nothing. But there was a tacit understanding slowly rising in their hearts.
Tang En opened his mouth and gently bit Shanya's hand. Shanya frowned and gently hit Tang En. She retracted her hand.
"Let's go to China to adopt a child." Tang En repeated his plan.
Shaniya did not object. Since her husband wanted a child so much, how could she still object? Although she didn't know why her husband wanted to adopt the child in China.
Of course she wouldn't know. Tang En wanted to make up for her regrets - she wouldn't be a Chinese in this life, and having a Chinese child would be good.
A reporter blocked Tang En outside the Chinese Embassy, and he was not asking about adopting a child, but - "When he was at the peak of his career, he chose to retire bravely. What are your considerations?"
