Chapter 262: Volume 3: Red Forest, Angel of the North (Part 1)

The Forest team, who won the away game, walked out of the stadium and was about to get in the car to leave. They saw the fans who came to support them. This time, without Twain and Chris Lack saying anything, the players walked towards the fans to sign for them. .

After Twain left the press conference, he went directly to the parking lot to join the team through the side door. He heard someone calling him, "Tony!"

"John." Tony turned his head and saw the fat man waving at him, and Shania jumped out from behind the fat man's broad body.

"Uncle Tony!"

This time, she didn't have that nasty cousin Tom by her side anymore. I don't know what method Shania used to send him away.

Tang En laughed and walked towards her.

"Where's your cousin Tom?"

Shania pointed to John: "Uncle John scared him away."

The fat man scratched his head, and then said to the two, "You guys talk, I'll go find my guys."

"Thank you, John." Tang En nodded to him, "I'll buy you a drink when I go back."

John blinked: "I'm waiting for your words! Goodbye, Shania."

"Goodbye, Uncle John." Shania waved her little hand to John.

When the fat man was far away, Tang En looked at the little girl whose cheeks were flushed with joy, and said with a smile, "This is the first time you've come to watch a match?"

Shania nodded: "Cousin Tom always wanted me to become a Newcastle fan, and every day he talked about letting me come here to watch the football with him, but I didn't agree. I told him that I don't like football, and he is still very happy. Surprised and asked me: 'Are you really Brazilian?'”

Shania's eyes widened and she imitated Tom's tone and expression with a thick voice, which made Tang En laugh out loud.

Seeing Tang En so happy, Shania also smiled beside her, as if she had done something very successful.

"You... little rascal!" Tang En still felt a little out of breath after laughing.

"Hee hee." Shania stuck out her tongue, "Uncle Tony, will you stay here for another night?"

Tang En froze for a moment, then shook his head: "We are going back to Nottingham now. Have you seen that car?" He pointed to the bus in the distance, "We will go directly from the stadium to the airport."

Hearing what Tang En said, Shania was also a little disappointed: "I thought you guys would stay here for another night..."

"Uh, I want to too, but there is a UEFA Cup match coming up, we have to rush back to prepare." Dunn also regretted that how many times did he have the opportunity to play in Newcastle in a season? Now Shania is so strictly controlled by her aunt Ryan, she even said that she could come to Nottingham every weekend in the summer, but she never came.

Looking at Shania's pursed mouth, Tang En really couldn't bear to let her down.

Although the means of communication are very developed now, mobile phones and online videos are all fine, but Tang En still feels that face-to-face is more intimate.

Just when he was frowning in embarrassment, Shania grinned first: "Actually, it's nothing, anyway, we can meet again at Christmas. I have already made an agreement with my parents, this time they will definitely Don't think I'm running away from home again!"

Speaking of "running away from home", both of them laughed. If it hadn't been for that time when they really ran away from home, they might never have known each other for the rest of their lives.

After laughing, the two looked at each other like that. Although they all knew it was time to say goodbye, neither of them said "goodbye" first.

In the end, Tang En was defeated, glanced at the cloudy sky, and said to Shania: "Today...it's going to rain."

"Well, I should go back." Shania looked at Tang En and nodded.

"Then we will see you at Christmas, Shania." Tang En said with a smile.

"Well, see you at Christmas! I'm leaving, Uncle Tony, it's not good to keep them waiting." She pointed to the team bus. Tang En looked back and found that the members of the coaching staff, the players of the team, and even the fans around the bus were all looking at him and Shania.

He coughed, cursed those men who liked to read gossip inwardly, and said with a straight face on purpose: "It's okay, I'm their leader, if I tell them to wait, they have to wait!"

"But the plane waits for no one."

This is correct, Tang En touched his nose: "Then goodbye, Shania."

"Goodbye, Uncle Tony."

Shania waved lightly, turned and left.

Tang En watched her slender back gradually walk away from behind, and an indescribable feeling slowly came to his heart, just like the current weather.

Damn it! I should be happy, shouldn't I? We are the ones who won today...

When the bus drove to the airport, there were streaks of water stains on the windows. In the cloudy evening, the street lights on the side of the road were reflected on the windows, reflecting a kaleidoscope of light.

Tang En looked at the increasingly cloudy sky outside the window, and the first thing he thought of was Shania. He unconsciously worried about whether she got in the car, whether she was caught in the rain, and if she got caught, would she catch a cold?

"Tony?" A man's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, startling Tang En.

"Huh? David, what's the matter?"

"I see that you are suddenly in a bad mood, what's wrong? Didn't we win?" Chris Lak turned his head and asked with concern.

Seeing his assistant ask this question, a smile appeared on Tang En's face again: "Yes, we won. It's nothing, I'm just overwhelmed by the bad weather..." He pointed to the darkening sky outside the window.

"Ah, so you are worried about this. Don't worry, I don't think the weather conditions will delay our flight."

Tang En's eyes lit up, and he looked at the sky again. I suddenly hope that the weather will be worse...

How bad is it? Just cancel the flight!

He turned his head to look out of the window, because the sky was dark and rainy, so the vision was not good, but he still saw the famous statue standing in the distance—Angel_of_the_North (Angel_of_the_North).

This brown-red steel angel has a pair of Boeing 757-style wings. It has stood on the hillside of Gateshead for seven years since it was completed in 1998. Even a 100-kilometer-per-hour storm cannot shake her at all. Now she has become a symbol and landmark of Newcastle and even the whole of Northern England.

For Tony Twain, there is also an angel in Newcastle, and it has become the whole symbol of the city of Newcastle in his heart.

Tang En's wishful thinking finally failed. Although it rains, rain is indispensable all year round in England. This level of rain will not affect the normal opening of the airport at all.

Nottingham Forest boarded the flight to Birmingham on time.

Before boarding the plane, Tang En received a text message from Shania, telling him that he had arrived home, and it was raining a little, but it didn't bother him. In the end, she congratulated Tang En's team for this victory. She forgot to tell him outside the stadium just now and could only send text messages.

Tang En originally wanted to go back and tell her to pay attention to her body, but the team had already started boarding, so he had no choice but to honestly turn off his phone.

When the plane pierced through the rain and fog and rushed into the sky, the gloomy sky outside the window suddenly brightened, which caught Tang En's attention. He turned his head and looked at the sky outside the plane window, with white clouds below and a clear sky above. Where the wing pointed, a red sun was heading towards the Pennines, its afterglow dyeing the western sky red.

After winning the away game against Newcastle, Nottingham Forest ranked fifth with 20 points in 11 league rounds. Manchester United, who had the same points as them in the last round of the league, fell to seventh because of an away loss to Portsmouth in this round of the league.

Such an achievement certainly deserves the joy of Forest's supporters, but Tang En was not happy.

Let's see which teams are currently ranked in the top six in the league - the first and second in the league are Arsenal and Chelsea with 26 points. Wenger's team had already been defeated by Manchester United in the tenth round of the league, and their unbeaten streak in the top league stopped at the forty-ninth game, which was exactly the same as the period of history in Tang En's memory. , the opponent is Manchester United, and the goals are Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Despite Arsenal's loss, they and Chelsea are well deserved in the top two. and next...

The third in the league is Everton, and the fourth in the league is Bolton! The team that was defeated by the Forest team!

The traditional strong teams Manchester United and Liverpool are all in a downturn, ranking outside the seventh place.

The outside world attributes Forest's current ranking to the overall downturn of Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur. The evidence supporting their point of view is this league table, with Nottingham Forest in the top six of the league, and four teams in their opinion are not worthy of their names.

Tang En didn't think that the Forest team didn't deserve the name, but was worried about Manchester United's efforts.

What does fifth in the league mean? You can participate in the UEFA Cup next season. If you are lucky, one more place will be the UEFA Champions Cup!

Glory, fame, and money all rolled in.

In fact, the final result of this season should be that Chelsea won the league championship with a high score, and Arsenal was powerless after their unbeaten streak was terminated, ranking second. Manchester United rushed to third in one breath. Moyes' Everton finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League qualifying round. And Liverpool, which finally won the European Champions Cup this season, ranked fifth. The defending champion is not eligible to participate in the next European Champions Cup. It is really embarrassing that such a thing happened to a traditional giant. Fortunately, the English Football Association actively mediated, and finally let UEFA set a precedent.
