Chapter 64 Football is higher than life and death?
"I remember that Michael said that he didn't want his son to be disturbed by the media." Tang En stood in front of Pierce Bruce, frowning.

"Twain...Mr. Twain, you, you misunderstood." Bruce stood in front of Twain bent over, unable to speak smoothly when he was tired. "I'm not here for an interview."

He spread his hands, indicating that he did not bring a camera, nor did he bring an interview recorder.

"I didn't even have the battery on my phone...Actually, I wanted, wanted to add literature."

"But you don't know each other." Tang En didn't intend to give way.

"Gavin is a Forest fan, and so am I."

The two looked at each other. Tang En thought for a while and asked a question: "Are all the reports on the fan riots in the Evening Post all from you?"

Bruce didn't expect Tang En to ask this question suddenly. He froze for a moment and then shook his head: "No, I was sent to Newcastle for an interview. I just came back and heard about it..."

Tang En got out of the way and said to him: "Go, the funeral is almost over...about."

Bruce thanked Dunn, then turned and ran inside.Tang En looked at this young reporter who had just become a regular, and thought to himself...there are good people in the media.

Because Tang En lives alone, he has very low requirements for food, so he often solves this problem at Burns' bar.But today, he didn't ask Burns to provide him with meals, but just drank one after another in a bar that hadn't opened yet.

But Burns didn't persuade him either. On the one hand, he knew that Tang En was a good drinker. On the other hand, why should he persuade him at this time?Just let him vent.

Just when Tang En was a little drunk, Michael came.

"Ah, Michael! You're here...tomorrow's game, you, you will go to see it, right...right?" Tang En was smiling, and he couldn't straighten his tongue.

Michael Bernard looked at Tang En, but did not speak.

The smile on Tang En's face disappeared. He stared at Michael and said, "Michael, you...do you have anything to say?"

"Tony, I'm not going to the game tomorrow."

Tang En nodded: "I understand, you just..."

"I won't go there in the future."

"What?" Tang En thought he had heard wrong.

"Thank you." Michael took the water glass from Burns, then turned to look at Dunn and said, "Do you want to hear a story, Tony?"

When Brian Clough's Forest team swept England and European football, Michael Bernard was just twenty. Like most other young people, he was as energetic and fighting as a stallion in rut, Likes to show off his manliness with his fists.

He and John organized a club - "Naughty`Forty", which only accepts fanatical Forest fans.Before Mark Hodge, he was the leader of the club, and John and Bill were his right-hand men. Every time there was a fight, the three of them always rushed to the front, not afraid of the bricks and sticks thrown by the opponent.They fought with the Forest team and experienced the most glorious years of the team.

If the opponent's fans dare to insult the Forest team, they will rush forward and beat the opponent black and blue.Even on the road, they showed no sign of weakness.They are proud of what they have done for the glory of the team.They are also proud to have brothers like themselves.

Football hooligans?No, they will never admit that they think they are the most loyal and most passionate Forest fans.

Michael's life outside the game was not satisfactory. He changed many jobs, but because of his violent temper and impulsive personality, he couldn't last long.But he doesn't care about these, all he cares about is the honor of his club, the achievements he supports the team, and he likes to talk about various topics of "Boss" Clough and the private lives of the players.

Such days lasted for ten years.For ten years, they came together for the Forest team to fight, fight, and think that this fight would continue until the day they couldn't shake their fists anymore.

But this life changed completely on the afternoon of April 1989, 4.

"We made it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup that year. Our opponent was the powerful Liverpool at the time, but no one thought we would lose to them before the game. On the contrary... Liverpool people were terrified of us. , you must find it strange? Why? Because we have Clough! Liverpool people will have weak legs when they hear this name..." Michael said, as if he had returned to the time 14 years ago.

Tang En didn't speak, he quietly listened to Michael's story.He didn't care that the wine glass was long gone.

"We had a lot of fighting spirit before the game, everybody wanted to beat Liverpool, get to the final and take home that shiny trophy. You know what...we haven't won the FA Cup for 30 years, Clough has won all the championships that can be won in this world, and only one FA Cup is missing. You know how eager we are..." Michael stared at Tang En, and when he saw Tang En nodding, he continued.

"I still remember that day...it was a sunny day, John and I set off from Nottingham to Sheffield three hours in advance, we made all the preparations and waited for the game to start..." Michael's speech speed began to slow down , This memory was too painful for him, and it haunted him like a nightmare for a long time.

"We were in the second stand, and next door was the third stand where the Liverpool fans were. I thought it was a really good opportunity, we could keep fucking them during the game..." Michael paused for a long time, Tang En had already guessed what happened next.
