Chapter 567: Volume 4: The Eve of the Storm
On the last night before the game, Twain met old friends Beckham and his wife at the hotel where the team stayed, and Shania who brought them here.
It was a private meeting, and both parties went to great lengths to hide from the ubiquitous media. In the end, Shania brought the disguised Beckhams into Tang En's room, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The Beckhams were personally invited by the club and Twain to watch the final live. Tang En's idea was very simple. Apart from showing friendship to Beckham through this method, he also wanted Beckham to increase his expectations and belonging to this team.
He knows it won't be easy for Manchester United-born Beckham to face Manchester United again in the Premier League, although Beckham himself has said he could play against Manchester United or even go to Old Trafford as an away team Ford.
But Twain thought more about it. If the Forest team could win this European championship, the joy of the championship would to some extent dilute some of his guilt towards Manchester United.
At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to show the strength of the team to those new players who will join the team next season. These new players naturally include Beckham.
"First of all, congratulations on winning the league championship." These were Tang En's first words after meeting him.
He crossed before the end of the La Liga season. It is not known whether Real Madrid won the championship in the end, but when he crossed, Real Madrid had already launched a Jedi counterattack against Barcelona. Such a situation in this world, in this season's La Liga, he saw it again.
Everything is as he said, Capello first decided to abandon Beckham, but as the season progressed, he found that it would be impossible without Beckham. In addition, Beckham has been training diligently, and there is no Any complaints about being sidelined made Capello change his prejudice against Beckham and decided to re-enable the former captain of England. The comeback Beckham used a direct free kick to help the team beat the opponent in the first game, and then he used his performance in every game to gradually change the prejudice of the entire Spanish media against him, and also won Real Madrid again. The heart of the fans.
At this time Calderon also found that letting go of Beckham became the worst decision he made.
As the end of the season draws to a close, every time Real Madrid plays at home, the Bernabéu stadium will have a banner to keep Beckham.
This England star who has never been understood by the world finally used his actual actions in exchange for the understanding and respect of the world. No one ever said that he is a star who can only rely on his face and commercial value to play football. No one thinks that he came to Real Madrid to help Real Madrid sell jerseys.
Beckham said at the press conference before Real Madrid's last game that he has never regretted coming to Real Madrid for the past four years. He does not consider Nottingham Forest now. He just wants to help Real Madrid win their first championship trophy in four years. He also won his first league championship trophy after joining Real Madrid.
After ninety minutes of thrilling, ups and downs, he got his wish.
When he led his three children and wore England's St. George's flag to bid farewell to Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu's championship celebration ceremony, he touched countless people. He knelt on the court, kissed the Bernabeu turf affectionately, thanked those people for their support at the last moment.
Tang En saw this scene on TV, and he didn't feel any displeasure about it, on the contrary, he was very pleased. Because Beckham is a person who knows how to be grateful. Such a person will soon become a member of the Forest team, and he will definitely devote all his strength to the Forest team.
"Secondly, welcome to Nottingham Forest."
The two opened their arms and hugged each other.
"What a pity, if you had come a season earlier, you would have won the second European Championship trophy in your career." Tang En said jokingly.
Everyone in the room laughed.
"To be honest, I didn't expect Nottingham Forest to reach the final." Beckham smiled and shook his head.
"We are Miracle Forest." Tang En said proudly, "You will know when you join next season." He winked at Beckham.
Victoria does not support Beckham returning to England to play football. She hopes that her husband will follow her words and go to the United States to develop. But in the end Beckham chose the latter between his wife and football, which certainly did not please Victoria, although she agreed with her husband's choice.
Tang En glanced at her, and found that Victoria was having a pleasant chat with Shania, and didn't want to get involved in the man's topic at all. In front of outsiders, she did not show the slightest true emotion in her heart. Did he want to save face for his husband, or did the husband and wife have reached some kind of agreement in private?
Tang En didn't know, but he knew that in the next few years, he must be careful about this woman. Perhaps now because of Shania's relationship, everyone's relationship seems to be happy. But if there is a fundamental conflict of interest, she will definitely turn her face and deny anyone.
Now Shania is the buffer zone between himself and the other party, avoiding the conflict from becoming superficial and intensified.
Sometimes when I think about it, I really owe this little girl a lot. She obviously doesn't like football, but she introduced the Beckhams to herself. Is this really as simple as introducing her friends? If it wasn't because Tang En was a football coach, why would he introduce a player to him?
She always likes to play with her more, but her mind is always on football. Even when she goes back to Brazil, she goes to the beach to watch people play football.
Beckham noticed that Tang En was distracted. He followed Tang En's gaze and turned his head to look, and found Shania who was having a good chat with his wife. He smiled meaningfully.
"Tony?"
"Ah? Ah, sorry." Tang En withdrew his mind.
"Do you have any plans for next season? I heard that you announced before this season that the Forest team's goal this season is the Champions League, and now they have reached the final."
Tang En replied without thinking, "League."
"champion?"
"Of course." Tang En smiled brightly, "We have won the runner-up for two years in a row. Now people outside have started calling us 'Double Asian King', which is not a good title. Hey, David, do you like it? Champion?"
This question was very abrupt, and Beckham was taken aback for a moment before answering: "Is there anyone who doesn't like champions?"
Tang En smiled again: "Yes, you will feel very happy in the Forest team, David. We will not accept anything except the championship. Next season, our goal is the league championship. I will let those who gossip about us Look how wrong they are."

After emerging from the hotel, Victoria asked her husband what he thought of the new head coach.
Beckham thought for a long time before saying: "It is different from any head coach I have come into contact with before, and I can't comment on him. How about it, maybe I will only know after working with him? But... "He glanced at his wife.
"It can be seen more or less from the players of the current Forest team that he is a coach who is very good at getting along with players. It is different from Capello. Moreover, he wants the championship, which has something in common with me .”
"Haven't you got enough?" Victoria's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
Beckham quickly explained with a smile: "Winning the championship is just a way to prove me."
"You've already proved it, so who else do you have to prove?"
This time, Beckham didn't answer.

After seeing off the Beckhams and his wife, Shania did not follow her. She turned back and stayed alone with Tang En for a while.
"Where are we going to play this summer?" Shania asked while sitting on the sofa, leaning on Tang En's shoulder.
"I haven't figured it out yet..." After Victoria left, Tang En opened the window for a while to let in the wind, and the strong smell of perfume finally disappeared completely. Now that Shania was sitting next to him, he could smell the fragrance of her hair again. "where do you want to go?"
Shania shook her head: "I don't know, I seem to have been everywhere..." Her work requires flying around the world, and there are really not many places in the world she hasn't been to.
"How about... go to Brazil?" Dunn cautiously suggested.
Shania became alert. She left Tang En's shoulder and raised her head to look at him: "Are you looking for another genius child prodigy?"
"Injustice!" Tang En raised his hands, "Have you been back to Brazil in the past two years?"
Shania nodded: "I've been back twice, for catwalks."
"Have you ever been home?"
Shania shook her head this time: "Not really...too busy, always flying around..."
Tang En smiled: "So, let's go home and have a look."
Hearing what Tang En said, Shania stared at him for a long time, then nodded in agreement.
She noticed Tang En's words. "We're going home" instead of "We're going home to you."
She smiled.
"It's okay, I also miss my father and mother a little. Although I hated them very much in the past...but I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I always miss them."
Hearing what Shania said, Tang En remembered that no matter how mature she was, how famous she was, how beautiful she was on the catwalk, she was still a child under the age of eighteen.
"Hey girl. Do you feel lonely sometimes?"
"When?" Shania looked up at Tang En and asked.
"Whatever, when you're working, when you're traveling by plane, when you're in any city hotel..." Tang En spread his hands and gestured casually.
Shania put her fair feet on the sofa and curled up. "If you put it this way...it's quite a lot. But not now!" She said to Tang En with a smile.
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Because you're with me?"
"Yes! With Uncle Tony, you will not be alone!"
"You are really easy to please... Do you have any friends? Friends from the modeling circle?"
"there's a few."
"Are they all women?"
Shania glanced at Tang En: "Yes, they are all women. Not too many... Except for work, I basically don't have much contact with people in that circle."
"Why?" Tang En was a little surprised. Isn't this age the most fun? I like making new friends the most, and I am full of freshness and beautiful longing for friendship.
"Work is work, and private life is private life. I don't want to confuse the two." Shania shrugged and answered Tang En's question in a very adult tone.
Tang En smiled: "Do you feel lonely? Making more friends is not a bad thing."
Shania wanted to say something, but in the end she just curled her lips and said nothing.
Looking at her watch, Shania stood up from the sofa: "It's getting late, I have to go back. Uncle Tony should go to bed earlier, don't lose tomorrow's game!"
Tang En stood up and sent her off: "Don't worry, you can't lose no matter what. Things like losing will not happen without my permission."
"Hmph, cowhide king." Shania made a face at him, "You are not God, you have the final say on everything."
"Hey, although I'm not God himself, I have a good relationship with God himself." Tang En said with a smile. He wasn't completely joking either, why did such a thing like time travel happen to him, God might really have something to do with him, haha!
After seeing off Shania, Tang En found that during the time he was alone with Shania, he didn't think about tomorrow's final at all. He didn't feel nervous at all, and didn't think about "Whether we will He even completely forgot about football, and he didn't consider that there are many talented prodigies there, so he can get some of this idea by the way.
To put it simply, he can forget a lot of troubles at work when he is with Shania. Just like the little girl said herself: work is work, and private life is private life.
He and Shania are living together.
Tang En stood in front of the window sill on the twenty-fourth floor of the hotel, watching the night view of Greece. What if one day he gets tired of the job of professional football?
Who can stay by his side, let him forget his troubles and enjoy his own private life?
This question was too boring for Tang En right now. He shook his head, stretched himself, and walked back to his room, ready to sleep.
There's another fight tomorrow.
It's really unlucky to think about such things as losing interest without even winning a worthy championship...
How can I lose interest in this job until the champion is soft?
