Chapter 565: Volume 4: Storm, Uninvited Guest

Michael came back to watch the game, which made Dunn feel much better about Paul Gerrard's retirement. What could be better than an old friend coming back again?

Although Michael just came back to watch a game, it was enough.

A day later, he left Nottingham with the whole team in the farewell of the fans, left the UK, and flew to Athens, Greece.

There are still two days before the final day, they will have a simple training in Athens, and everyone will have half a day to rest. This has become Twain's routine. Before each major final, he will give the whole team a half-day off to let them forget about the game and relax.

On the same day, Serie A giants AC Milan also arrived in Athens, the Greek capital. They will receive a very warm welcome at the airport, because the distance is closer, and many Italian fans have come this time. Last time in Istanbul, Turkey, these hardcore Milan fans experienced a sad night. Now AC Milan is facing a team from England. They hope that their support will allow the team to defeat Nottingham Forest and win the championship trophy.

More fans came to welcome AC Milan than Nottingham Forest fans at the airport, and they held up banners, waving AC Milan flags and scarves, making the terminal look almost full of their people.

After all, AC Milan arrived first on the flight schedule, so it is understandable that they are so active. Those Nottingham Forest fans who arrived at the airport temporarily backed away, watching their opponents with cold eyes. Only a few fans wearing Forest team jerseys went up to express friendship to AC Milan fans. This scene will be captured by the media immediately, promoting the fact that fans all over the world are one family.

According to the timetable, the flight from Milan, Italy should arrive on time at 10:30 am. But now it's eleven o'clock, and the plane is still there. Arrivals after this flight on the electronic bulletin board have been replaced with "delayed".

The AC Milan fans who were very active just now gradually fell silent at this time, and the flying flags also drooped. Some people simply sat on the floor of the hall to rest, intending to recharge their batteries.

Some people were calling to inquire, and soon a message began to spread among them-hesitating due to the weather in Milan, Italy, the plane took off an hour later than the normal time, and is now on the way. If there is no accident, they will be on the way Arrived in Greece at half past eleven.

Someone looked up at the huge electronic information billboard, which was constantly updating flight information from all over the world.

Flight information from Milan is still delayed.

Next, just below this message, a flight information from London was swiped out - arriving on time at 11:30.

The Forest fans in the corner cheered at the news, some of them got up and waved their flags and started clapping and singing.

Many media people who were waiting at the airport to pick up the plane couldn't help laughing when they saw the latest information on the electronic billboard.

Of course they all knew that AC Milan's flight would be delayed by an hour and arrive at the airport at 11:30. The flight from London carrying Nottingham Forest was also at 11:30. This is really great, the media are excited, they have the opportunity to see a good show.

Everyone knew that the relationship between AC Milan and Tony Twain was not harmonious. Last summer, around Anelka's offer, the two sides once launched a war of words in the media. Tang En openly mocked AC Milan for knocking the door. He didn't have the demeanor of a wealthy club at all. He begged the Forest team for Anelka but acted like a landlord who dismissed beggars casually. AC Milan has always attached great importance to the image of its own club, and of course cannot tolerate Twain's blatant slander. The two sides forged a beam.

This is something that everyone in Europe knows. Now that the Encounter Road is narrow, the flights of both sides arrive at the same time. According to Tang En's personality, can there be no fun to watch?

The media who were planning to take a break just now because the plane from Milan was delayed all cheered up, cameras and cameras were aimed at the exit, even though it is still half an hour before eleven thirty...

※ ※ ※

This is not a chartered plane. Not only the players and coaches of Nottingham Forest are sitting in the large Boeing plane, but also some other passengers who are going to Greece. Of course, a large part of these passengers are random. news media.

The entire team sat in first class, they were separated from the back, and the media could only sit in economy class. Among all the reporters, there is only one person who can sit in the first class and be treated with the team, and that is Pierce Bruce, a reporter from the "Nottingham Evening Post".

Some people in the circle of sports journalists joked that the "Nottingham Evening News" was about to become the "Nottingham Forest Newspaper", and Pierce Bruce was the dedicated reporter of the Forest team.

But looking at the journalists who can only sit in economy class, who's to say that this statement is not more out of jealousy?

"It's really unfair. We're all journalists. Why can someone chat and laugh with interviewees in first class, while we can only sit here and watch?" a reporter complained.

The companion next to him comforted: "Come on, it would be nice to allow you to take the same flight with them. The guy from "The Sun" doesn't even have the right to board the plane."

"It's not fair. It's not their charter, they don't have the authority to do that."

"Of course it's not their chartered flight. But Tang En said that if the reporter from the Sun newspaper took the same flight with him, then he would take another flight..."

"The shelf is so big..." the first person complained.

"Who made him get good grades now?"

"Strange, why haven't I read the news reports on this matter? With the style of the Sun newspaper... I'm afraid the city has already been full of storms, right?"

The person next to him chuckled: "The Sun newspaper has filed the complete story of this matter, but now is not the time to reveal it. Do you know? They got the exclusive right to report on Twain jumping into the sea after the loss, and Waiting to see Nottingham Forest lose, and then revealing all the embarrassing things when he jumped into the sea, so that there will be a sensation. At that time, they will say—look, this is why Tony Twain always loses The reason! Then there is overwhelming criticism and criticism...Anyway, there is a good show to watch."

※ ※ ※

Pierce Bruce didn't sit in his seat obediently. After the plane stabilized, he loosened his seat belt and ran back and forth between the seats. Time is precious, and when he arrives in Athens, he will not be treated so close to the players of the Forest team. He wants to take this opportunity to complete his first interview.

Tang En looked back at him: "Mr. Reporter, don't disturb my people's rest."

"I know, I only look for people who seem more energetic than me." Bruce replied back, and changed the target again.

Tang and Twain turned their heads at the same time, and they saw that few of the players were resting, and they seemed to be more active than Bruce...

"Everyone is very excited." Tang said.

"I hope they don't get too excited." Tang En muttered. He looked at Tang next to him, and suddenly remembered something.

"Strange, there is no that annoying Chinese female reporter on this flight."

"You mean Tang Jing?"

"Who else could it be? Her name is not included in the list of media that submitted to us for the same flight, nor is the name of the media he represents." Tang En looked at Tang, "Did she tell you anything about this?" ?”

Tang smiled: "Why? Don't you feel used to not seeing her?"

Tang En snorted: "Don't change the subject."

"She went to Athens ahead of schedule, it's as simple as that."

"It's boring. I thought she suddenly realized her conscience and decided not to pester us anymore." Tang En pouted.

"You are disappointed. It seems that you are not used to it after leaving." Tang said from the side.

Tang En rolled his eyes and found a breakthrough: "You know about her itinerary. How far has your relationship developed?"

Tang blushed and said nothing. Tang En laughed out loud, with the attitude of a winner.

They use Chinese to chat with each other, so they are not afraid of others hearing their privacy.

There was a turbulence in the fuselage, and the gentle voice of the stewardess came from the radio: "Dear passengers, we have arrived over Athens and the plane is descending. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."

Bruce hurried back to his seat with the help of the seat, and his interview was over.

Hearing what the flight attendant said, Tang En raised his hand and looked at his watch. Twenty past eleven, which is pretty punctual.

He looked down through the porthole and could already see the roof of the building.

Athens, here we come.

※ ※ ※

The lobby of Building 1 of the airport became lively. Fans from both AC Milan and Nottingham Forest stood up and flocked to the airport reception.

On the side, the latest flight arrival information is displayed on the huge electronic information board:

The flight from Milan arrives.

The flight from London arrives.

The first to sing was the Nottingham Forest fans phalanx. England fans are best at expressing their emotions with singing.

They had all the media attention, video cameras and cameras turned on these people.

The AC Milan fans who were watching on the opposite side were unwilling, and the English couldn't steal the limelight! So they also began to sing loudly. Immediately, more than half of the media diverted to the Milan fan phalanx.

The game has not yet started, but the fans of both sides are competing first.

Knowing that the two teams will arrive on the same day, the airport has made very complete security preparations. After all, football hooligans in Italy and England are "famous". Now seeing the fans of the two teams suddenly singing excitedly, the Greek police also became nervous, staring at those fans with full attention, as if they were facing a big enemy.

"They're just singing, sir." The teams monitoring England and Italy fans reported to the security officers at regular intervals.

"No swearing, no looking at the other person, just singing to the arrival gate, sir!"

"They didn't drink, and they didn't do anything but sing, not even shake their fists, sir!"

The chief police officer in charge of security heaved a sigh of relief as messages came one after another.

Security for the football match is the most troublesome thing for him. There are so many people and every aspect has to be taken care of. Negligence in one place may cause serious consequences. Especially when the contestants are from England and Italy respectively...

The most famous stadium tragedy in European football happened between the teams of these two countries - the Heysel tragedy, when the two sides of the game were Liverpool and Juventus.

When Tang En got off the plane, he was talking and laughing with the people around him, looking very relaxed. But with the flow of people, when they walked towards the exit, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He could tell it was loud outside, very loud. Moreover, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and found that besides English, there was another language he could not understand.

This puzzled him.

※ ※ ※

AC Milan's players had already appeared at the pick-up port, and their captain Maldini was the first to step forward. Immediately, the singing of AC Milan fans completely overwhelmed the voices of Nottingham Forest fans. The media began to work, and the flashing lights were on for a while, and the place at the airport reception was completely shaken.

The stars who came out had all seen big scenes and didn't care about it. They smiled and waved to their supporters.

Seeing that the AC Milan team came out first, the Nottingham Forest fans were not interested in singing for them, so they all consciously shut up.

At this time, Milan is the protagonist.

Milan stars appeared in the exit channel one by one, receiving the cheers and compliments from the fans. But when Kaka appeared in front of everyone, the cheers suddenly reached their peak.

"Kaka—!!"

Numerous female screams were mixed in with the singing and whistles, but they could still be clearly distinguished.

※ ※ ※

Tang En, who was walking in the corridor along the "Exit" sign, also heard these screams. He glanced back at Tang: "I think AC Milan should be here, it's so strange, shouldn't they arrive an hour earlier than us?"

"Maybe the plane is delayed," Tang said.

"Look, we are really destined to be with AC Milan." Dunn laughed. "Listening to the voices outside, I can imagine the grand and warm welcome AC Milan received there." He looked up at the sign, and there was an arrow turning right ten meters ahead telling him that it was the exit.

Having said that, he stopped and looked back at the players strolling behind.

"Guys, cheer me up, are your legs going to go weak after flying for a few hours?"

Hearing what he said, everyone stopped and looked confused.

"Coincidentally, outside is AC Milan, our opponents in the final, and now they are receiving a warm welcome. I don't want them and their supporters to see us listless, and I don't want them to think that we are afraid of them... ...were you tired from the journey?"

When he said this, everyone straightened up immediately, expressing that they were not tired at all.

Tang En grinned and laughed, this kind of smile was a special kind of smile that would only be displayed when some kind of prank was about to be performed.

"Very well, now we're going to be uninvited guests!"

※ ※ ※

Kaka was wildly welcomed by the female fans at the exit. They rushed forward and blocked the small exit. It directly caused the people behind to be unable to come out for the time being.

Kaka turned around and apologized to his teammates, who were making fun of him.

"You're still so popular even after you're married, I'm jealous, Kaka!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ancelotti is at the back, chatting with his assistant. He has seen this kind of scene a lot. AC Milan is a giant. There are no stars of any kind, and it is normal to be popular. After satisfying the autograph and group photo requirements of several fans, there will naturally be considerate security guards to clear the way for them.

At this moment, he heard a burst of intensive footsteps coming from the passage behind him. Looking back, his expression changed.

Guess who he saw?

Tony Twain drove in with his large army in high spirits. Seeing Ancelotti, he waved his hand happily and said loudly in English: "Oh, hello, Mr. Ancelotti! What a coincidence, why do we meet everywhere? Look , There is a word in China called 'Yuanfen', we are really destined!"

Regardless of whether the other party can understand so many English words or not, he babbled them out.

Of course Ancelotti couldn't understand Tang En's English with a Nottingham country accent, but he knew it must be something bad.

He didn't plan to talk to Tang En, he understood that the more you talk to this man, the more energetic he will be.

He turned his head and pretended not to see Tang En.

Tang En didn't expect Ancelotti to come up and talk to him. One of them spoke English and the other Italian, and they couldn't communicate at all.

He walked past Ancelotti with a smirk and squeezed into the place with the most people.

"Give way!" He raised his hand and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Those female fans who were asking for autographs and group photos from Kaka also found that a strange man appeared beside Kaka. They all raised their heads and looked at this unexpected visitor with dissatisfaction.

The scene really gradually quieted down. Most people didn't understand what was going on. Another part of the fans from Nottingham were very excited after seeing Twain. Some were about to shout, but were stopped by their companions. Those people made "shh" gestures, but looked excited.

"Sir, there is a situation." The subordinate's voice came through the headset again.

"A fight started?" The police officer sat up straight suddenly, ready to run out of the command vehicle at any time.

"No, the teams from both sides arrived, and the scene was a bit chaotic. Then...the head coach of Nottingham Forest came."

How could it be possible for those who want to escort this game not to know who the head coaches of these two teams are? The police officer thought about it, but heaved a sigh of relief. "Just pay attention to protection, it's nothing. With him here, the fans at Nottingham Forest won't be able to make trouble."

He had done some research and knew a little bit about Tang En's situation. It is said that the head coach has a high prestige among the Nottingham Forest fans. If he is on the scene, then the situation is not bad.

"I fully understand your star chasing mood!" Tang En cleared his throat and said loudly, regardless of whether the people here could understand his non-Cockney English.

"But you have no reason to block other people's way out, do you? We flew for several hours from the UK to Greece, and now we have to rush to the hotel to rest. You can't let everyone behind here do it just because of one person. Wait." He waved to the players behind him.

Ancelotti watched from behind, with an English-speaking coach at his side interpreting for him. He was a little surprised by Tang En's performance. He thought he was here to find fault, but he didn't expect to become a "voluntary order maintainer".

Having said that, Tang En turned his head and smiled at the Brazilian football star Kaka standing beside him, expressing his friendliness. Kaka looked at him, slightly surprised. The media always described this man as a devil, or simply called him neurotic. I didn't expect to meet him at close range today, he seems to be a gentle person...

After Tang En finished speaking, he waited for the female fans standing in front of him to get out of the way, but no one moved.

He frowned, and muttered: "Don't blame me for eating your tofu." Then he stretched out his hand vigorously and pulled out a "small intestine path". The woman apologized, and then the players of the forest team followed closely and filed out. This narrow path gradually became a highway.

Seeing this, the security guards came up one after another, separated all the fanatical star fans, and finally the exit was unobstructed.

Seeing Twain come out, the Forest fans acted as if they had received a signal, and became active again, but this time they didn't sing.

There were about seventy or eighty fans in this group. Seeing Twain approaching, they started shouting, "Hey, Tony!"

"Tony-Tony!"

This momentum is no less than that group of female fans chasing Kaka just now.

Eastwood watched the scene from behind and laughed hard. "The boss didn't mean to help us clear the traffic. I think he is jealous that Kaka is more popular than him, haha!"

It's hard to say whether Tang En is jealous, but he really enjoys the shouts of the fans at this moment, and he smiled and waved to them.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the fans shouted even more vigorously. "Give us a championship, Tony!"

"As you said, jump into the sea if you can't win the championship!"

Originally, AC Milan had the upper hand at the airport pick-up scene, but immediately changed the protagonist. Many media swarmed over, surrounded Tang En and the group of fans facing him, and the flashing lights were turned on frequently.

In the flashing light, Tang En made a gesture to make everyone calm down, and the group of fans were really obedient and quieted down. They looked at the team's head coach with some kind of fanatical light in their eyes.

The policeman next to him couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Their chief was right, this person is here, and the England fans are no longer a problem...

In this brief silence, Tang En raised his hand: "I promise, I promise you, the championship is ours! It is ours, and no one can take it away!"

In this way, in front of his opponent, he issued his declaration of winning the championship. Completely ignore AC Milan.

Ancelotti's last shred of affection for this man is gone...

A burst of cheers erupted from the Nottingham Forest fan base, and they sent Dunn and his team away from the airport with this cheer.

A group of people swaggered away, leaving the Italian who hadn't recovered yet at the airport. Soon, the Forest fans also left here and followed their team.

The reporters who came on the same plane with the forest team witnessed this scene all the way. Everyone looked at each other excitedly. They knew that tomorrow's manuscript had to be written, and tomorrow's news had something to watch.

The reporter who was still complaining about not being able to interview the players on the plane also laughed. Seeing this good show, the previous "unfair treatment" is nothing!

Follow Tony Twain, there is meat to eat...
