Chapter 734 Volume [-] Return of His Majesty Crimson
May 2009, 5 was a special day for Nottingham Forest fans. In the days before this day, they were all excited, and all the tickets for the last home game of the season were snatched up.In the case of the team doomed to get nothing, this last game is still full, and there are countless fans waiting for someone to sell excess tickets.

It's not that their team will return to the top of the standings on this day, and it's not that they will be relegated from then on.

The reason why these people are so excited is actually very simple-that person is coming back.

Although it had been three weeks since Tony Twain returned to the team and started working, this was the first time he led the team to play at home.

In addition, there is another person who is saying goodbye to Nottingham and Nottingham Forest.

He is David Beckham whose contract has expired.

These days, there are always Forest fans flocking to Wilford to watch Forest's training, and then gather around Beckham to ask for autographs and photos. His popularity is stronger than ever.

There is also a faint sadness in the team.In fact, there was this kind of sorrow in every season before. However, due to the excellent performance of the team in the past few seasons, everyone's thoughts are on celebrating the team's achievements. This faint sorrow is also diluted by the joyful atmosphere.

This year the team is relatively down and out, and the mood of parting is becoming more and more obvious.

Beckham is destined to go, and some people are thinking about whether to go or not...

The surprise of the boss' return didn't last long.

※ ※ ※

Beckham is a player who can build a good relationship with his teammates, so although he is very famous and his light alone is enough to keep the whole team in his shadow, his relationship with his teammates has always been very harmonious. He is very good at being a person.

But before the last round of the league, everyone in the Forest team was very surprised to receive a small gift from Beckham.

Even Dunn was no exception.His gift was specially sent by Beckham.

"After playing tomorrow's game, this season will be over. So this is a special thank you gift, Tony." In private, Beckham did not call Twain "boss", but directly called him by his first name, appearing two Personal relationships are intimate.

"Thank me?" Tang En felt ashamed. "When Albertini left, I gave him the best parting gift. But when you left, I couldn't take anything out." He spread his hands and patted his pockets. "What else can I thank you for?"

"Ha." Beckham smiled, "When I decided to join Nottingham Forest, I just hoped to prove that I am not a vase in a place closest to the British public. I never thought that I could win a championship at the end of my career. Cup and League Cup. Isn't that a big enough gift, Tony?"

Tang En smiled and said nothing.

"Two years is not a long time, but I have a deep memory. Nottingham Forest is a good place, but unfortunately I can only stay for two years." Beckham suddenly sighed.

"With your words, I am content. David." Tang En felt that this was the best affirmation of his work. "Are you still going to America?"

Beckham nodded: "I have won the European Super Cup, the England Charity Shield Cup, the World Club Cup, the European Champions Cup, the Premier League championship... I have nothing to pursue in football. I have already signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Set a contract and play for another two years. But that's not playing football, it's a show." He shrugged.

It is boasted that his trip to the United States to play football has far-reaching impact, and what they say is to bring green to the football desert. He is a big man who can change the status quo of American football, and can make more Americans like football... In fact, these are all nonsense .He knew very well that he alone did not have that kind of influence at all, and a football champion like Pele did not make the football environment in the United States much better. How could he change the interest of a country by himself?He just went to accompany his wife...

Speaking of other wives, Twain would also like to thank this woman who is famous for fighting against the head coach.At least in the past two seasons when Beckham played for Nottingham Forest, Victoria did not cause any trouble for herself.It seems that Beckham really made great efforts to convince his wife that playing in the United States for another two years is probably part of the agreement.Perhaps there is another reason, that is, after all, there are some private friendships, and I don't want to make our relationship too rigid... Shania is usually taken care of by her.

Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly asked: "Is the villa you live in Nottingham going to sell too?"

Beckham nodded: "I won't have much time to return to the UK in the future. I have houses in Manchester and London. Victoria doesn't think there is any need to stay in Nottingham."

Tang En clapped his hands: "Exactly, sell it to me!"

Beckham smiled: "You also think it's not a good place to live in now, Tony?"

Tang En rubbed his nose: "Hey. Actually, I'm the only one, and I can live anywhere. But from now on, the two of us will live together, so we need a better house. Now is not the time to say goodbye, David. Come to Brazil on vacation after the season!"

Beckham was a little surprised: "Brazil?"

"Hey, don't you know?" Tang En also felt strange.

"what do you know?"

"Shania and I are getting married, during the summer vacation..."

Beckham's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Hey, you don't need to make such an expression, do you?" Tang En curled his lips.

"It's really the first time I heard that you guys are going to get married this summer..." Beckham was also aggrieved.His good friend is getting married, but he just heard.How does this tell him to prepare a gift?
"Huh? Shania didn't tell Victoria?"

Beckham shook his head.

"Didn't the paparazzi find out?"

Beckham continued to shake his head.

Tang En smiled happily: "This little girl has done a good job of keeping secrets!" He guessed that Shania kept the secrets so strictly to give the media a big surprise, so that she could see how the media would handle the shocking news after hearing the shocking news. Reaction.As she said herself - that must be fun!

"Okay, David. You should be happy now. You are the first person in the whole world to know this news besides me, Shania, and her parents! I was going to wait until the end of this game , and send invitations to the whole team." Tang En patted Beckham's arms.

Beckham also smiled: "It's time for me to congratulate you, Tony. You and Shania are really a good match. I don't know how many times Victoria and I have talked about the relationship between you in private. You can make it to this movie. It's not easy...what made you finally make up your mind?"

Tang En remembered the back of the person who made sesame paste for himself in the hospital ward. "David. How would you feel if one day you thought you were going to die and struggled to open your eyes and the first person you saw was someone who was taking good care of you?"

Beckham didn't answer the question because he knew Tony wasn't asking him at all.

"I want to thank the heart disease. Although it caused the team's performance to decline. But next season we can make a comeback. I am grateful to it because it allowed me to find the person I love the most." Dunn shrugged. Now that he said such disgusting words, he didn't have any psychological barriers at all.Among the people he would like to thank may be a female reporter, Lisa Ariel.Because as she said - there's no shame in admitting to being in love.

Seeing his head coach looking happy, Beckham touched his chin and said, "Oh, what wedding gift should I give you, Tony?"

"Don't think about it, sell your house to me cheaper."

"No problem, Tony. Deal!"

Two people hold hands together.

Before leaving, Twain told Beckham about tomorrow's game arrangement: "David, you are the starter. This is your farewell match for the Forest team... You don't have to prove anything anymore, just enjoy the home fans Cheers."

Beckham nodded, turned and walked away.

Watching his back leave the office, Tang En sighed softly.

More and more people he was familiar with left him.

One day, when he stands in front of the coach's seat at the city stadium, all he can see around him are people who can only make him have a lifetime of memories.Can he still be friends with players like this?
※ ※ ※

The main news in Nottingham's media these days is all about these two people.

Tony Twain's return and David Beckham's departure.

"Nottingham Evening Post" made a special issue, reviewing Beckham's two seasons in the Forest team in detail. There were glorious moments when he helped the Forest team beat Manchester United to the Premier League throne, and there were also times when the team sank into injury. The loss of the sick quagmire.But these are not important, he is leaving. "Glamorous" will no longer belong to Nottingham Forest, ever.It is said that the Manchester United club will serve as Manchester United's global image ambassador after Beckham is planning to retire, taking over Bobby Charlton's class.After all, he is still a Manchester United man.

Nottingham Forest has also had several world-renowned stars in its history, but the club itself has no glorious tradition, so it is impossible to cultivate the infinite loyalty of these stars to the club, and it is impossible for those stars to serve as global ambassadors after retirement.This is a pity for all Nottingham Foresters.

Although Hierro played for the Forest team, he only has feelings for Real Madrid.Albertini used to be the captain of the Forest team, but he also insisted on returning to Italy and Milan after retiring.Now it's David Beckham's turn.In the not-too-distant future, it is foreseeable that there will be Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van der Sar among such people.

When will we have legends of our own club history?Many of the players who used to fight with the old man Brian Clough have now become famous coaches, but they are scattered all over the place, with very little connection with Nottingham Forest.Today and in the future when business and money make football more and more impetuous, is it possible for Nottingham Forest to have its own Albertini, its own Hierro, and its own Beckham?
This question will be related to Tony Twain.The fans of the Forest team firmly believe that as long as they have Tony, the Forest team will not collapse.But now, Tony Twain has a heart problem. Who can guarantee how long he can stay in this position?

a year?two years?Or three to five years?Can he still sit in this position for 18 years like his predecessor, Brian Clough?
If just praying can make a person healthy, all Nottingham Forest fans would pray for Tony Twain before three meals a day, wishing him good health, a healthy heart, and a long life.

※ ※ ※

On the day of the competition, the weather was beautiful and the sky was clear.

From noon onwards, fans poured into the stadium one after another.Everyone is seated before the game starts.The city's stadium, which can accommodate up to 3 people, was packed to the brim with no empty seats.The special significance of this match for Forest fans is to welcome Tony Twain back as king and to send off Beckham.

Tang En delivered the last speech for the players in the locker room.

"Our first official game of the season was the Community Shield, and that game was against Portsmouth. Now it's Portsmouth in the last round of the league. What a coincidence, isn't it? It's good, this Bad season needs a good end. We beat Portsmouth in the Community Shield and now I want you to do the same to say goodbye to the season and to send David off. You all got a little gift from him , this gift is not for nothing!"

Everyone laughed.

Although the team's final ranking is not ideal.But as long as the boss comes back, the team will regain its vitality, and all problems seem to be no longer a problem, because no matter how big the problem is, the boss will take care of it.

"The current situation is that we have nothing we want, and Portsmouth still has the hope of competing for the UEFA Cup next season. Look, what a great opportunity..." Dunn chuckled, "The one who only hurts others Good things have almost become a tradition for us. It's not that we deliberately made bad things, it's just that the chances are like this... Last time it was Liverpool, this time it's Portsmouth. Nottingham Forest will never be willing to be a stepping stone just to help the opponent succeed Those opponents who think they can step on our corpses will pay a heavy price for thinking so! Liverpool is not the first, and Portsmouth will not be the last! Tell Portsmouth with practical actions that they want to play in Nottingham What a foolish idea to get something from the forest, to gain something! They think we are tigers dying of starvation, and we have to let them know that tigers are the scariest at this time! The bastards in Portsmouth think we Who is it? We are Nottingham Forest! The Nottingham Forest that blocks the sky!!"

※ ※ ※

When Tony Twain, his colleagues, and the substitute players came out first and walked towards the coach's dugout, he was startled by the deafening cheers.

When he reacted, he realized that everyone was yelling his name.

"Tony! Tony! Tony—"

"Welcome to our Majesty the King—!!" The on-site announcer shouted hoarsely amidst the roar.

"Welcome back, Tony!!" Fat John and his buddies shouted.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty the King—!"

"Tony! Take care!"

"We love you! Tony!" This is a group of crazy beauty fans.They wore three-point dresses, and their full breasts were written in colorful paint with a single subtitle, which in sequence was "We Love Tony".

The sound became one piece, resounding through the sky.

Tang and Chris Lark walked past him, as if they didn't see this scene, and the substitute players covered their mouths and grinned as they walked over to the bench.Tang En was left alone. He stood on the sidelines, looking up at the packed stands.

Everyone stood up from their seats, and they raised their arms in prostration.Just like how he was treated in this stadium after the end of last season. 3 people shouted a person's name in unison for a long time, and the sound was deafening.

This is an honor that belongs only to him.

This is the life he wants.

He raised his arm and waved it upward.

The roar went up to a higher level.

Seeing this scene, Shania in the box curled her lips: "I'm going to be jealous..."

※ ※ ※

When the players from both sides were still waiting in the corridor to be brought into the court by the referee, they suddenly heard a deafening roar before they exchanged it, which shocked everyone.After they all heard what the roar was about, the Nottingham Forest players laughed.The Portsmouth players were all pale.

Portsmouth coach Palin, who was already sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team, was also shocked by the crazy atmosphere in the city stadium.

A season ago, after Twain won the double crown, a grand celebration party was held here. He was crowned king, wearing a royal robe, and standing here holding the crown high.He has also been ridiculed by countless media and colleagues, thinking that his arrogance has reached the point of perversion.

But now he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.Here, at the City Stadium, in the hearts of Nottingham Forest fans, Tony Twain is indeed their king...

Palin, who originally wanted to take three points in the away game and let the team qualify for the UEFA Cup next season, suddenly felt a chill creep up his spine.

John Mortensen, who was in charge of commentating the game, was also infected by the atmosphere: "Look at this scene! It's not hard to understand why Nottingham Forest exploded with amazing energy when Twain was in charge. He is indeed the king here I think Portsmouth is in trouble!"

※ ※ ※

Portsmouth was indeed unlucky.

When the players came out later, Beckham also received a very high standard of welcome treatment, but the cheers for him were still a bit smaller compared to Twain's...

After the start of the game, the entire Forest team was like seeing a lively rabbit after being starved for ten days and a half months, and burst into a murderous spirit that frightened and shocked the entire Portsmouth team.

During the game, every time Twain stepped out of the coach's bench and stood on the sidelines to direct the game, no matter what the situation was on the field, there would be cheers immediately from the stands.

Twain himself has been suffocated for five months, and the enthusiasm of these fans has not been suffocated for five months?
When the team encounters difficulties and any team dares to lose.How much they wished that the person standing on the sidelines was the high-spirited Tony Twain. Even if he didn't do anything, just standing there would give everyone a strong hint—no problem, everything is fine, I have a way.

If he curses on the sidelines, we will follow him!

If he's ecstatic, we dance!
If he faints again...we'll support him behind!
Tony, as long as you are here, we are not afraid of anything!What is nothing this season?We will make a comeback next season and get back what we lost!

Don't be polite to them!This is Robin Hood's lair, and we are all descendants of robbers.Grab is our old line!
Grab it, grab it!Grab all the property and women of the noble lords and drive them out of the castle!

Grab it, grab it!Take back a world! !

"It was supposed to be David Beckham's last match to bid farewell to England, but the protagonist turned out to be Tony Twain." John Mortensen laughed. "But I don't think David would be jealous."

In the No. 808 minute, Twain finally replaced Beckham, this time Beckham was the main character.He hugged the closest teammates, then walked down slowly, raising his hands and applauding as he walked.No Portsmouth player complained that he was deliberately delaying the game.Because at this time, there is no point in procrastinating or not procrastinating.They are not one or two goals behind...

Nottingham Forest fans stood up and applauded Beckham to see him off.It is very different from the previous madness. Their feelings for this former Manchester United player are more touching and grateful.Although Beckham's heart does not belong to Nottingham Forest, Forest fans are not ungrateful people. They still thank David for every assist and every goal he contributed to the Forest team in the past two seasons-if there is no "million people" fans", then it is hard to say who will win the league championship last season.

Mortensen was also emotional: "When David Beckham was a kid, I witnessed his midfield lob at Manchester United. When he became a 'heartbeat', I still Commenting on his Manchester United games. Now he's 34 and he's decided to leave England and go across the Atlantic. I'm still commenting on Premier League games. I can only wish him the best of luck, all the best of luck in that country."

"With two assists in this game, he marked a perfect end to his career in Nottingham Forest. The sinking of the Forest team this season is not his responsibility. He can leave without any worries and can accept such applause. Goodbye , David!"

Beckham finally came down, hugging Tang En who was waiting on the sidelines.

"Goodbye, David. Good luck in America."

"Goodbye, Tony. I wish you luck here too."

Tang En suddenly felt his eyes wet, and he quickly interrupted this emotion: "No! Now is not the time to say goodbye! Don't forget to go to Brazil when you are on vacation. I will wait for you at the wedding, so you must come!"

Beckham also smiled: "Of course I will go, Tony. You and Shania are both my friends, why wouldn't I go?"

The two separated, and Beckham went to hug and bid farewell to the Forest team coaches and substitute players behind Tang En.

The game then ended.

4:1.At home, Nottingham Forest ended a chaotic season with a hearty victory.See off David Beckham and welcome Tony Twain back.

Portsmouth lost the game and their err hopes of getting into the UEFA Cup next season.But at the City Stadium, in Nottingham Forest's territory, who cares about their opponent's mood?

The 08-09 season passed like this.

After many years, how many people will miss it?
