Chapter 132 Volume 2 Nottingham Sky Press Conference (Part 2)

In English, "justice" and "judge" are the same word. This time, the judge representing "justice" closed the door of justice for the families of the victims.

And the grievances of those ninety-six Liverpool fans will never have a chance to be rehabilitated. They are still branded as "football hooligans" until now, wandering between heaven and hell, unable to enter the gate of heaven, and unwilling to go to hell to endure torture.

Then angry Liverpool people launched a boycott of the "Sun", which is still going on today. On the sidelines of the game, Liverpool fans are often seen holding up a banner. Below the bloody Sun logo, it reads:

The truth is that ninety-six people died in the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989! For the sake of the dead, don't buy The Sun!

Up to now, the circulation of The Sun in Liverpool is only more than 10,000 copies, which is more than 200,000 copies less than before the Hillsborough tragedy.

For the lonely Liverpool fans, legally unable to get support, this is their only means of resistance. Even such a struggle is still so pale and powerless in front of a vast net composed of police, judges, lawyers, and the British government.

With that background in mind, it's easy to understand why the media focuses so much on football stands rather than pitches.

Since Thatcher's indiscriminate iron fist policy, football violence seems to have gradually disappeared from people's sight. The media reported more scandals about stars and coaches, but yesterday's game once again made the British paparazzi excited again.

Yes, football hooligans are back! Football violence is back! The stuff that got us the public eye is back!

With a "crash", Tang En threw out the newspaper in his hand. He originally thought that the matter would be over like this, and let the past pass by, but he didn't expect...

After the Hillsborough tragedy, the media in England has become much more restrained than before. Most of them thought it was the responsibility of the Millwall fans this time. First, a group of extreme Millwall fans sang in the stands to mock Gavin Bernard, a young fan who died because of a fan fight. The guest Forest fans were dissatisfied, which led to the conflict that interrupted the game.

Basically, Tang En believed that this was a report from a fair and objective point of view, and did not include the Forest team fans who were forced to fight back into the "football hooligans" team.

But the words of the chairman of the Millwall club made Dunn feel angry.

"... I am outraged by the suggestion that the Forest fans charged the police because they were provoked by our fans. What I saw first hand was the Nottingham Forest fans who started the fight, they tried to charge into the pitch, And remove the plastic seats from the stands and throw them into the pitch..." This is what Millwall chairman Theo` Paphitis said in an interview with reporters.

"I was directing the game and it was impossible to notice what was happening in the stands. No manager pays attention to things that are not related to the game. But then I heard (that incident) and I think that caused this. The cause of the incident was not the Millwall fans, but a group of thugs from Nottingham! Therefore, they should be responsible, not us!" This is the head coach of the Millwall team Alan McCleary To the "Sun" reporter said.

Thirteen people were injured in the riot at the Newden Stadium. Among them, five people from Millwall were arrested by the police, and two people from Nottingham Forest were brought into the police station. Eighty-eight seats were injured. There were varying degrees of damage, and the police also suffered minor injuries. It should be regarded as the largest fan riot in the stadium in the UK in recent years. The biggest off-court was on June 7 last year, when the Millwall team failed in the promotion play-offs, there was a riot of more than 5,000 fans in the Millwall area.

In the case of attracting the attention of multiple media, the chairman and coach of the opposing team said so, which is tantamount to pinning the blame on Nottingham Forest.

Dunn himself hated Millwall, a club, and now he added new hatred to his old hatred.

He decided to break the silence and give those shameless people a loud slap in the face.

So he spread out the paper, intending to write an open letter, and then commissioned Pierce Bruce to publish him in the newspaper. Some words can only be held in my heart, and the feeling of having no place to say it is really uncomfortable. Fortunately, he has a good reporter friend.

Just when Tang En wrote the first word, he received a call from Evan.

"Tony, can you come to City Stadium?"

"What's the matter? Evan, I'm now..." Tang En looked at the open letter just opened, and was about to ask clearly. If it wasn't something important, he pushed it first.

"Yesterday's fan riot incident, I plan to hold a press conference in the name of the club, you come... I know you must really want to scold those bastards, and now I will give you a chance to scold them in front of the whole of Britain!" Wen Daugherty said harshly.

Tang En laughed: "You really know me so well, Evan! I'll be right there!"

Fifteen minutes later, Twain appeared in Mr. Evan Dougherty's office at the city stadium. When he was led in by Ms. Barbara Lucy, Evan Dalgety was standing in front of the window with his back to the door, watching countless reporters trotting into the door below.

"Mr. Daugherty, Mr. Dunn is here."

Evan turned around and smiled at Lucy: "Thank you Miss Lucy."

Lucy poured a glass of water for Tang En, then turned around and backed out.

Tang En's gaze followed Miss Lucy's writhing butt disappearing through the crack of the door before turning back. He saw Evan staring at him and smiling, so he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and explained awkwardly: "Uh... the new secretary, it's, it's not bad..."

"That's not a new secretary. Miss Lucy followed me back to England from the United States. She has always been my private secretary. Both she and Allen are people I can fully trust."

"Well, I know... what about me?" Tang En asked, interested in Evan's last words.

"You too, Tony. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I like your straightforward personality." Evan sat casually at the corner of the table. This situation was under the leadership of his father Nigel Daugherty. At the club, you can never see it.

"Hey, when you told me that I wasn't in your plan, I thought I was abandoned." Tang En shook his head lightly. "You know what? Evan, I had the phone numbers of at least three clubs in my pocket at the time, and I could leave whenever I wanted."

Evan nodded to show that he knew, "So I have always had a question. Tony, what made you finally make up your mind that even if you return to the youth team to coach, you must stay in the club that made you see no future?"

This question kept Tang En silent for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "Evan, I hesitated for a long time when deciding whether to leave or stay. Many people helped me directly or indirectly, such as... …Boss Clough took me to the coach reception to meet the world. I saw countless successful and unsuccessful coaches there. I seemed to have entered a completely different world from before. He also told me that failure was only temporary. Later I went to the youth team training base and saw that in the empty base, George Wood—the genius I found from the slums—he was practicing basic skills alone in the training ground, for his star dream Trying. Next I went to Gavin's grave."

Hearing what Tang En said, Evan no longer casually sat leaning over the table, he came down and stood in front of the table to listen to Tang En's continuation.

"I met Michael there and he told me he was going to America. His wife couldn't bear to stay here and miss her son day and night, so the family was moving to a country without football. I couldn't persuade him to stay. , compared with football, his family and life are more important. He knew I might leave, so he said..."

Tang En whispered slowly, as if he himself had returned to that afternoon. In front of Gavin's tombstone, Michael patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "...Brian Clough came to this team on January 3rd, and you Tony was on January 1st, only two God. It's a pity, maybe we all missed a very legendary story..."

"Then he was gone and I was alone in the empty cemetery. Even though Michael compared me to Clough, I wasn't sure I wanted to stay. Until I saw a sentence on Gavin's tombstone in very small letters. , which I've been ignoring. Hey, Evan. Do you want to know what that says?"

Evan nodded.

"It says: Here rests Michael Bernard and Fiona Bernard's most beloved son, Nottingham Forest's most loyal fan, George Wood's eternal supporter - Gavin Bur Nader."

Tang En didn't continue talking, and Evan also fell silent.

He knew about Tang En and Michael. Michael Bernard was a celebrity among fans in the community. Everyone knew that he had a clever and lovable son. He also regretted Gavin's death. Otherwise, why would you think of holding a press conference today to refute Millwall's rhetoric?

But he never thought that that child would occupy such an important place in Tang En's heart. It seems that finding him today is really the right thing to do.

Evan coughed: "Okay, I think it's about time, let's go down..."

The silence in the office just now was finally broken. Tang En woke up from his contemplation, looked up at Evan, and then stood up with his lips pursed.

"Uh, Tony." Evan reminded him, "Do you need to prepare a speech? I asked Miss Lucy to help you draft one in advance..."

Tang En shook his head and declined his kindness: "Thank you, Evan. But I don't need it. I've never heard of someone using manuscripts for cursing." Then he opened the office door and walked out.
