Chapter 489: Volume 4: The Storm, New Friends, Old Acquaintances

Because Beckham was going to shoot commercials, he didn't chat with Tang En for long. However, from the short conversation, Tang En also learned some ins and outs.

As we all know, Beckham's wife, Victoria Beckham, is a famous fashionista who likes to visit the places of fashionable celebrities. Being invited to a fashion show in Milan is also a normal social event.

As a newly promoted world supermodel, Shania is naturally the object that the other party intends to make friends with.

In this way, Shania and Victoria became acquainted, and then through Victoria, Shania met David Beckham again...

This relationship is quite complicated.

Tang En stood in the corner, watching Beckham and Shania who were filming under the spotlight.

He never thought that he and Beckham would become acquaintances like this. Although they must have heard each other's names, they had never had such in-depth contact.

If it wasn't for Shania, Twain and Beckham would go on their respective life trajectories, and nothing would change.

respective trajectories...

Tang En looked at Beckham who was posing according to the photographer's request, and repeated these words in his heart.

What should their respective trajectories look like?

He didn't know about Tony Twain's future, not even one month later, let alone the future.

And what about David Beckham? Tang En, who was far away, did not dare to say it, but he still remembered it when he was near.

This year is 2006, and the new season that is about to start is the 2006-2007 season. In this season, Capello entered the precarious Real Madrid, brought the concept of Italian football, and also brought an iron-fisted coaching style. Real Madrid got rid of the star purge policy of the "Galaxy Battleship" era and officially came out.

Ronaldo became the first victim, he was sold to AC Milan by Real Madrid during the winter transfer period. At the same time, Real Madrid introduced a large number of young players and began to build their future. Argentina teenager Gago, Higuain, Brazil teenager Marcelo was signed.

Beckham, who was originally the unshakable main force in Real Madrid, has also been severely challenged.

Capello doesn't like him and wants to wash him out.

As a result, the contract renewal negotiations between the club and Beckham progressed slowly, and were even interrupted for a while.

After Beckham was completely disappointed with Real Madrid, he finally announced during the winter transfer period that after the end of the season and when the contract expires, he will be free to transfer to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

At the time, the news was nothing short of sensational. Some people even thought it was a joke that was not made on April Fool's Day - a world-class star, who is far from old enough to consider retiring, and David Beckham, who has unlimited commercial value, how could he transfer to a second- and third-tier league in the world? play football?

Does he not care about his career? Does he not care about his competitive state? Does he not care about his reputation? Does he care about... football?

The news has been confirmed, Beckham really wants to leave the European Football Center, leave the World Football Center, and go to the "football desert" of the American Major League.

No one will be optimistic about him anymore... Everyone thinks this may be a sign that Beckham intends to change careers like the entertainment industry...

After that, Beckham suddenly broke out in the league. He regained the trust of coach Fabio Capello with his professional attitude and returned to the team's main lineup. Then he helped the team start the pursuit of Barcelona step by step, starting a classic comeback in late March. In the four years since he joined Real Madrid, his biggest regret is that he did not win a sufficient championship trophy for the team. This is also the main reason why many people criticized him. He hopes to help the team beat Barcelona and regain the long-awaited league championship trophy before leaving. This is his only wish.

Tang En didn't know the story after that. In mid-April, he crossed inexplicably. He didn't know whether Beckham's wish had come true, and he didn't know what the fate of Real Madrid and Beckham would be in the future.

Whether Beckham, who went to Los Angeles, was really swallowed up by the desert, was gradually forgotten, turned from a football star to a movie star... Twain has no way of knowing.

But he still clearly remembers his feelings when he learned of Beckham's decision-helplessness and anger.

The helplessness is for Beckham's decision, and the anger is for Real Madrid.

Letting go of Beckham will surely be the biggest and stupidest mistake in the career of Real Madrid chairman Calderon.

Yes, Twain thought so before Beckham led the team to fight back.

Unlike most, he has always believed that Beckham is an underrated player. The halo of a commercial star is so dazzling that everyone forgets that he is also an excellent football player. When most people mention Beckham, the first thing they think of is his image when he endorses products, rather than his hardworking figure on the court and training ground. Some people even think that Beckham’s hardworking image itself is a kind of commercial packaging... …

This is so silly.

Twain likes hardworking players. Whether there is talent or not is another matter, if he is not diligent, he will definitely not.

Their respective life trajectories...

Since Tang En appeared in this world, he has experienced many things. Some things are exactly the same as he knows, without any change; some things are completely different from what he knows. Some of these completely different things are because of his direct intervention, such as Van der Vaart's transfer from Ajax to Nottingham Forest Not Hamburg, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy's move from Manchester United to Nottingham Forest, and some because of indirect changes, such as when Capello went to Real Madrid, he brought an extra person-Trezeguet.

So, will his own existence change the future trajectory of Beckham?

In the new season, he won the trust and favor of Capello, and throughout the season, he contributed assists and goals to the fans as a starter. With his good performance, he won the club's new contract and continued to stay in Real Madrid until his retirement.

Or... still nothing changed. Capello doesn't like him, the club wants to abandon him, the media slanders him, Hollywood is beckoning to his wife, and is bewitching his choice of the future. And then it was irreparable...he went to America.

In addition to these two endings, is there a third party?

※ ※ ※

Tang En was only engrossed in contemplation, completely oblivious to the fact that the two of them had finished filming and were surrounding him curiously observing his expression.

"Mr. Dunn?" Beckham finally reminded, perhaps feeling that this was a little impolite.

"Ah!" Tang En was taken aback when he suddenly saw the two people appearing in front of him. "You... why are you here? Don't continue..." He pointed to the middle of the studio, only then did he realize that the staff were busy dismantling the lights and removing the soft board, as if to call it a day and go home.

"Finished?" He asked strangely.

"Yes." Shania spread her hands, "What are you thinking, Uncle Tony?"

"The cooperation with Shania went very smoothly." Beckham looked at Shania and smiled.

Shania stuck out her tongue at him, and hugged Tang En: "Let's have lunch together, we have already agreed with David."

"Ah... well, where's your wife, David?"

"Victoria is in Spain, babysitting. She's worried about Cruz."

Cruz is the third son of Beckham and Victoria, born on February 20, 2005, and is the new favorite of the Beckhams.

"I'm flying back to Madrid in the afternoon. Before I leave, I think I should invite my new friends to have a meal together." Beckham extended his inviting hand to Tang En.

Is it possible to refuse this kind of thing?

Tang En also stretched out his hand: "But I think I, the host, should invite you."

Beckham laughed: "Don't forget I'm also British, Tony."

Tang En was a little embarrassed by the laughter, he really regarded Beckham as a Spaniard...

"Uh, well. If you have the opportunity to go to Nottingham in the future, please. It's my place." He winked at Beckham.

※ ※ ※

Lunch was held in a high-end restaurant in London, which is Beckham's favorite restaurant, as can be seen from the fact that there is a private room he has booked for a long time.

Without the interruption of the paparazzi, the three of them can talk about whatever they want.

Shania dragged Beckham to give Tang En a fashion class. Tang En, a character coach who was fearless and fearless, acted honestly like a primary school student in front of the serious little girl.

Beckham was fortunate enough to see the other side of Tony Twain that no one knew, and he smiled happily.

"This matter is not allowed to be spoken out." Taking advantage of Shania's opportunity to go to the bathroom, Tang En specifically told Beckham.

"Don't worry, Tony. But I don't think you need to worry. Even if you really let the media know about this matter, they won't believe it. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, even I wouldn't believe it...haha!"

Amid Beckham's loud laughter, Tang En shrugged helplessly.

"Would you mind telling me how you met Shania?" Beckham's curiosity arose. He had such a good relationship with a football coach and a world supermodel, and he seemed to let her act like a baby. , Beckham does have reason to be curious.

"It sounds very similar to a movie script." Tang En recalled a little bit, "It's like this..."

※ ※ ※

"No wonder she keeps calling you 'Uncle Tony'..." After listening to the story, Beckham thought thoughtfully.

"In my eyes, she is either a world famous model, or a girl who will never grow up." Tang En drank his red wine.

"I understand." Beckham nodded.

"What are you guys talking about?" Shania asked curiously when she heard the last sentence after she came back from the bathroom and opened the door curiously.

"Your Uncle Tony told me the story of your meeting, it's very interesting." Beckham laughed.

Shania coughed twice, and returned to her seat, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Tang En wanted to talk to Beckham about his career.

He thought about that question for a long time, but he didn't know where to start. Tell him directly that he will be abandoned by the club in half a year? That was too appalling, David Beckham definitely wouldn't believe it.

"Uh, David, you should have worked with the new head coach, what do you think he is like?"

After all, football is a common topic between two men. Speaking of this, the relaxed expression on Beckham's face disappeared, and Twain noticed this keenly.

"Well...he is a very strict coach, different from the previous members of the team. Everyone has to adapt..." Beckham shrugged and shook his head, "I may have to train harder than before to impress him. .”

"Real Madrid is a wealthy club. They haven't won a championship for several years in a row. Everyone is under a lot of pressure. Maybe it's better to be strict..." Tang En comforted. "David, have you thought about coming back to play football?" He asked seemingly unintentionally, while pointing to his feet.

"Back to the Premier League?" Beckham smiled and shook his head, "No."

"Is it because of Manchester United?" Tang En continued to ask tentatively.

"There is a reason. You know I have played for Manchester United for many years, and I can't imagine myself wearing another team's jersey against Manchester United..." Beckham shook his head, really unimaginable.

He said this once in 2006, when he returned to China to promote his new autobiography. That's what he told reporters when asked about a possible return to the Premier League.

Now in private, he said it again.

Hearing this, Tang En could only sigh secretly in his heart.

If there is no change in the next six months, then Dunn only hopes that Beckham can give up this idea when the end of the mountain comes.

After finishing the lunch with regret, Tang En and Shania bid farewell to Beckham. He had to rush back to participate in the team's training the next day, while Tang En had to go shopping with Shania in London.

"Good luck, David." When saying goodbye at the airport, Dunn said while shaking Beckham's hand. There is still half a sentence he didn't say: "In the future, you really need some good luck..."

※ ※ ※

"Where are we going?" Dunn asked Shania on the car back to London after seeing off Beckham.

"Go shopping, shopping!" Shania announced excitedly.

"Hmm... I understand." Tang En thought that all women are like this.

"Don't think I'm buying it for myself." Shania saw through his thoughts, "I'm buying it for you. You need to change your image, you can't be like this all year round..."

The manager Fasal who was driving in front continued: "Shania is right, Mr. Tang En. Even a man needs to have multiple sets of clothes for different occasions."

Dunn somehow thought of George Wood's manager. The man who hadn't come to harass him for quite a while was very good at dressing himself up. Every time he appeared in front of him, his image must be different.

"I always feel that men who constantly change their appearance are sissies..."

"Hey, Uncle Tony!" Shania was a little angry.

"Okay, okay, I accept the suggestion. Anyway, with you, a person in the fashion industry, I don't need to worry about it..." Tang En raised his hands in surrender. He didn't want the meeting after so much trouble to end up broken up.

So under the leadership of Shania, the three went straight to London's most famous shopping street - Oxford Street. There, Tang En was led in and out of high-end clothing stores and fitting rooms non-stop, showing Shania and her manager the newly changed clothes. When both of them nodded, Fasal took out his credit card and swiped the card to pay the bill, and packed the selected clothes into the handbag. The three of them went to the next store.

Tang En has never experienced such crazy shopping in his life, whether in China or here, he has never spent so much trouble buying clothes and pants.

He always felt that this scene should appear on a woman, and he was the one who swiped the card to pay the bill. I didn't expect it to be completely upside down now.

but……

Tang En faced the mirror in the fitting room and posed what he thought was a very handsome pose, but he could hardly recognize the people who appeared in the mirror.

...But don't tell me, being tossed by Shania like this really feels like a male star on the cover of a fashion magazine.

"Are you ready, Uncle Tony?" Shania called outside.

"Oh... ah, okay, I'll come out right away." Tang En looked at himself in the glasses again, then turned around and opened the door.

Finally, in the hotel room, Shania looked at her "work" with satisfaction - a completely new Tony Twain.

"How do you feel, Mr. Tang En?" Shania casually took a fashion magazine beside the bed, rolled it up and used it as a microphone, and asked Tang En like a reporter.

Tang En looked at himself in the mirror and turned around. "Feel? It's good, now I don't have to worry about the paparazzi following me when I go out—they can't recognize who this is at all. It's quite practical."

"Uncle Tony!" A deep sense of frustration gushed out from the bottom of Shania's heart.

"Hahahaha!" Mr. Fasal, the manager, laughed hard. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in
