Chapter 798 Volume [-] Crimson Jose and Tony

Milan, Italy, is a city famous all over the world for its fashion.But in the minds of fans, this city has nothing to do with fashion, and there is only one reason why this city's name can be spread all over the world - football.

There is a word "derby" in the sports world, which was first used in horse racing, but it is football that has carried it forward to the whole world.There are many wonderful and classic "derbies" in world football, but no derby is more eye-catching than the same city derby.

In Spain, the "National Derby" between Real Madrid and Barcelona may be star-studded, but in the eyes of players and fans, the real derby is the Madrid Derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and the Barcelona Derby between Barcelona and the Espanyol.The same-city derby is always the most eye-catching game, such as the possibly most intense same-city derby in the world-the "time-honored brand" in Glasgow, Scotland.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "Derby created football".If there is no football dominated by opposition and hatred like Derby, I am afraid that its development would not be where it is today-that kind of emotion seems to be the catalyst.

Milan in Italy is also such a city of derby in the same city. This is a rare city where these two world-class giants clubs exist in the same place. The great names of AC Milan and Inter Milan have spread all over the world with their respective brilliant records.

AC Milan has the era of the Three Musketeers, while Inter Milan has the era of the Great International.Neither side is weaker than the other. Sometimes the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind.The spat between the fans of both sides was long since Tang En was tired of watching it when he was still a Chinese.

In fact, there is such a possibility-no matter how hostile the fans of the two teams in this city are to each other, at least when they face Nottingham Forest, they may unite against each other.

Because both teams have had the painful lesson of being defeated by Nottingham Forest in important games.In comparison, AC Milan fans were hurt even more deeply. Twain not only verbally insulted their Rossoneri many times, and his personal relationship with Carlo Ancelotti was extremely bad, but he was also in the 2007 European Champions Cup in Athens. On the night of the finals, they defeated AC Milan and made it to the finals for two consecutive seasons but returned empty-handed.

The grievances between Inter Milan and Nottingham Forest were limited to the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup in the 05-06 season. At that time, Nottingham Forest eliminated Inter Milan and finally entered the final, but unfortunately lost to Barcelona.It was just an ordinary game outcome, not involving too much grievance.Later, Inter Milan eliminated Nottingham Forest. From the perspective of Inter Milan fans, it was just an ordinary game. The side with better performance won, it was as simple as that.

It's a pity that they were all wrong. Who let Nottingham Forest have a mad dog?Some media in England once commented on Tony Twain's character in this way - "He is the kind of person who is bitten by a dog and must bend down and bite back like a dog."

Tony Twain and Mourinho had old grievances when they were in the Premier League. Now that Mourinho has arrived at Inter Milan, the old grievances between the two parties will naturally be passed on to Inter Milan.What's more, Inter Milan once slaughtered Nottingham Forest?Personal grievances, team stumbling, all got mixed up... With Tony Twain here, can they not get mixed up?He's the best at mixing things up.

Up to now, Inter Milan will have the honor to continue their grievances with Nottingham Forest until... one day Tony Twain leaves the post of head coach of Nottingham Forest.

"I find this kind of thing incredible and incomprehensible." The intern reporter who came with Pierce Bruce frowned and expressed different opinions on this. "If Nottingham Forest accidentally loses again, it makes sense for the two teams to continue entanglement. But what if Nottingham Forest wins? Is Inter Milan not relentless? Even if Mourinho is that kind of person, Moratti is not. A chairman who likes to provoke disputes with his opponents, he will definitely control Mourinho's mouth in this regard. In fact, in Italy, Mourinho has been much restrained than in England..."

Bruce shook his head with a smile and said, "You really don't understand, because you haven't really understood what kind of person Tony Twain is. If he loses, he will naturally be furious, but if he wins..." He chuckled, "He He will definitely humiliate Inter Milan in the press conference and show off himself. Dress up as a person who makes others want to jump on him and beat him up when they see him."

His partner really couldn't figure this out. "But why would he do it? Does it do him any good to offend so many people?"

"You can understand that it is due to his personality, or it can be understood that he is playing psychological warfare with his opponent."

When Piers Bruce said these words with a deep expression, the intern reporter immediately looked at Bruce with admiration: "You really deserve to be a reporter who has been with Twain for so many years. Mr. Bruce, you really know Tony Twain!"

Bruce shrugged his shoulders, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "When you think you know Tony Twain very well, you must be wrong again. I think he doesn't even know himself..."

The two stopped this topic which was not nutritious and would not improve their mood, and looked at the Inter Milan coach Mourinho who walked to the interview booth and took a seat.

Just after interviewing Twain over there, the reporters flocked to hear what Mourinho would say about his opponent. The efficiency of this group of people was really fast.

"Ask if you have any questions, gentlemen." Mourinho, who just got off the training ground, was still wearing an Inter Milan sports jacket, which made his figure look a little bloated. Maybe he had a good life in Italy. .He raised Erlang's legs on the chair and chose a position that made him most comfortable to face the reporter.

"Tony Twain just commented that Nottingham Forest came to Milan this time to seek revenge. What do you think about this, Mr. Mourinho?" The reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport was the first to ask.

"Only a loser would think about seeking revenge. I don't care about this, because I am not a loser." Mourinho grinned.He seemed to be sketching in his mind what an exasperated Tony Twain should look like... That must be impressive.

The taste of tit-for-tat came out just after the first question, which made the reporters present secretly happy.When Mourinho and Tony Twain meet, never waste precious time at the press conference asking questions about tactical deployment and staffing arrangements. That will only lead to the wonderful scenes slipping away in vain.

Mourinho is obviously very proud of the past when he was able to lead the team to a 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. He looked at the reporters with a smile, waiting for the second question.

The one who stood up next disturbed his good mood.

Pierce Bruce raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Mourinho, Tony Twain asked me to bring you a word."

Mourinho snorted and did not stop the reporter from speaking.

"He said——Tony Twain, whom you can't win, is here again. What do you think about this?"

Some of the reporters laughed, and Mourinho's face became a little ugly.

"I never cared about that kind of boring record. Compared with not being able to win anyone, I am more willing to care about winning the championship."

If Tang En was by his side, he would definitely have ridiculed him immediately: "I won no fewer championships than you, Mr. Mourinho."

Unfortunately not, so Mourinho can continue without interruption: "I never take the initiative to talk about who I am undefeated against. This is a very disrespectful behavior..."

If Tang En was beside him: "That's because you haven't had such achievements."

"Some people only see the past, but what I care about is the future, the game two days later..."

If Twain was beside him: "I still want to beat you in the match two days later, let this 'past thing' continue."

If Twain was by his side...the two of them would have already thrown themselves together for a real PK.

Mourinho didn't want to answer Bruce's question anymore, because he finally recognized who the man in front of him was.He is a reporter for the "Nottingham Evening Post", known as "Tony Twain's mouthpiece". He became famous for reporting on Twain. He always wears a pair of trousers with Twain and speaks for Tony Twain.It is said that Tang En once asked this person not to write a bad word about him, which shows how far Tang En has become a dictatorship, even interfering with the freedom of the press... The crimes he committed are too numerous to write down!
"Can you talk about your relationship with Mr. Twain? After you were fired by Chelsea, Twain used to insult Mr. Abramovich in an interview with the TV media..." ESPN reporter asked.

"I have to correct your mistake. I was not dismissed by the Chelsea club, but I resigned voluntarily. It was an amicable breakup." Mourinho raised his index finger and emphasized. "As for my relationship with Twain..." At this point, Mourinho paused, as if he was really thinking about his relationship with Twain. "It's definitely not a friend anyway."

It's surprising that he didn't say, "We are enemies."

Mourinho didn't give the reporters a chance to continue asking questions. He was tired of asking "How is Tony Twain" when he saw him, making it look like he was having an affair with that guy.How about him, you can ask him himself, what is it to come and ask me!
"If you don't care about how Inter Milan prepares for the battle, I think this is the end of the press conference." Mourinho got up and left without giving any reporters present time to react, and just disappeared into the astonished crowd. in the eyes.

Although Mourinho walked away, the reporters present did not express surprise or anger, but excitedly talked about the press conference that had just ended hastily.

It was obviously the first time that the intern reporter encountered such a situation, and he was a little dumbfounded.Pierce Bruce said to him with a calm expression: "Who would ask him how Inter Milan prepares for the battle? That way there will be news. Let's go back and edit the manuscript."

When Twain led the team to San Siro to adjust to the venue, he met an old friend.This time it's real old friends, no quotes.

The person who came to see him specifically was the former Nottingham Forest captain and retired Italian Dmitrio Albertini.

In addition to reminiscing with old friends like Tang En, he also came to cheer the Forest team.

"Of course I want to cheer you on. I'm a Milan fan." Albertini, who hadn't seen him for a long time, smiled brightly.

Now he is the vice president of the Italian Football Association, and he is considered a high-ranking official. His suit and leather shoes are very different from when he was a player.

Albertini came to the stadium suddenly in the middle of training, and Dunn called George Wood off the training ground.

Seeing the young junior whom he once placed high hopes on again, Albertini did not approach to embrace him very affectionately, but stared at Wood with a smile on his face, and studied it for a while.

"You've got seven assists so far this season, George?"

Wood nodded.Seeing his mentor, he actually didn't know what to say - he was not the kind of person who was very good at expressing his inner feelings, and asking him to do such a nasty thing would kill him.

"You did a good job, George. But you have to keep working hard." It was Albertini who insisted on Wood's offensive talent, which made Tang En focus on training him in this area.Now Twain and the forest team benefit together.

Speaking of this matter now, there is also a sense of fate in it-it was in the away game against Inter Milan, Wood suddenly passed a beautiful through ball, Albertini appeared in the line of the ball like a ghost After catching the ball, he scored a goal to help the team draw with the home team and scored two valuable away goals.

This was the first time Wood's offensive talent was shown, and he was caught by Albertini's eyes.

"You are not a natural leader, George. But you have done a good job as the captain of Nottingham Forest. Tell me, do you usually talk a lot in the dressing room?"

"Not too much." Wood shook his head.

"Then how do you lead your teammates?"

Dunn helped him answer: "Action. He leads the team with action. He never speaks nonsense. Actions are more powerful than words."

The hardest on the training field, the first to come and the last to go, the most active to run on the competition field, never give up, always full of fighting spirit and passion.It seems that football is regarded as life, and it is difficult for such a person to be unconvinced.

Albertini nodded approvingly: "This is your style, Giorgio."

Wood had a different opinion: "But I'm not as helpful to new players as you are." When Aaron Mitchell entered the first team, the expression on Wood's face when he welcomed him as the captain was a bit too serious.For this reason, he still broods on it to this day.

Albertini glanced at Tang En, turned his face and smiled at Wood: "Nottingham Forest is a group with a very good atmosphere. There are some things that you don't need to take care of, and others will do it yourself. Freddie and Bell are both enthusiastic people. You Don’t try to take it all on yourself. Trust your teammates as much as you do on the court, and you’ll get more out of it.”

Wood nodded and listened to the teaching. Every word of Albertini was a valuable experience for him.

Tang En didn't let the two chat for too long, after all, the team was still training.As the captain, Wood is even less qualified to engage in privileges.

Looking at the back of Wood running back to the field, Albertini sighed: "What a good player. It's a pity that he didn't come to Milan last summer."

Tang En chuckled: "As long as I stay at Nottingham Forest for one day, he won't leave the city stadium."

When it comes to Tang En's work, Albertini has to care about his body.

"No problem, everything is running normally now." Tang En patted his left chest lightly. There was a pacemaker there, so he couldn't beat it hard. "I'm very lucky. I didn't die the first time, so I won't die in the future." Now when it comes to life and death, Tang En is already very calm.People who have died once have a different level of consciousness.

Albertini laughed: "At first I said I would invite you to have a drink together after the game. Then I realized that you quit a long time ago, so I can just save money."

Tang En blinked slyly: "You can exchange it into cash for me, Demi."

The two laughed together.It's like going back to the good old days when we worked together.

Albertini held Dunn's hand when he said goodbye: "When we were together, we never lost to Mourinho, right, boss?"

He called it out suddenly, but it didn't surprise Tang En. He smiled and said, "That's right, I've never lost."

The two of them didn't say anything, they just felt that the hands they held were getting stronger.
