Chapter 134 The Angel of the North (1)
Chapter 134: Northern Angels (Part 1)
When the Forest team, who won the away game, walked out of the stadium and was about to get in the car and leave, they saw fans who came to support them. This time, there was no need for Donn and Chris Lack to say anything else, and the players consciously walked towards the fans to sign their autographs.
After Tang En left the press conference, he went straight to the side door to the parking lot to meet the team. As soon as he left the door, he heard someone calling him: "Tony!"
"John." Tony turned his head and saw the fat man waving to him, and then Shania jumped out behind the fat man John's wide body.
"Uncle Tony!"
This time, there was no more annoying cousin Tom around her. I don’t know how Shania used to send him away.
Tang En laughed and walked towards her.
"Where is your cousin Tom?"
Shania pointed at John: "Uncle John scared him away."
The fat man scratched his head and said to the two: "You guys talk, I'll go find my guys."
"Thank you John." Don nodded to him, "I'll treat you to drink when I go back."
John blinked: "I'm waiting for you! Goodbye, Shania."
"Goodbye, Uncle John." Shania waved her hand to John.
When the fat man walked away, Tang En looked at the little girl with a slightly red cheek because of her happiness and said with a smile: "The first time I went to watch the game on site?"
Shania nodded: "Cousin Tom always wants me to be a Newcastle fan. He talks about asking me to come here to watch football with him every day, but I didn't agree. I told him that I don't like football, and he asked me in surprise: 'Are you really Brazilian?'"
Shania widened her eyes and imitated Tom's tone and expression in a thick voice, making Don laugh.
Seeing Tang En so happy, Xianya was also smiling beside her. It seemed as if she had done something very accomplished.
"You... little bad guy!" Tang En felt a little angry after laughing.
"Hehe. " Shania stuck out her tongue, "Uncle Tony, will you stay here for another night?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "We are going back to Nottingham now. Have you seen that car?" He pointed to the bus in the distance, "We will go directly from the stadium to the airport."
When Shania heard Tang En say this, she was also a little disappointed: "I thought you would stay here for another night..."
"Uh, I think too, but there is a League Cup game next. We have to rush back to prepare for the game." Tang En was also very sorry. There were only a few opportunities to come to Newcastle in a season? Now Shania is so strict with her aunt Ryan. In the summer, she also said that she could come to Piaotianyi and online video every weekend, but Tang En still felt that it was more intimate to face to face.
Just as he frowned and was embarrassed, Shania grinned: "Actually nothing. We can meet again on Christmas anyway. I have already agreed with my parents that this time they will never think I ran away from home again!"
When it comes to "running away from home", both of them laughed. If they hadn't really run away from home that time, they might have never known each other in their lifetime.
After laughing, the two of them looked at each other like that. Although they both knew that it was time to say goodbye, no one said "goodbye" first.
In the end, Tang En was defeated, looked at the hazy sky, and said to Xianya: "It's going to rain this day."
"Well, it's time for me to go back." Xianya looked at Tang En and nodded.
"Then we'll see you on Christmas. Sinia. " Tang En said with a smile.
"Well, goodbye on Christmas! I'm leaving, Uncle Tony, it's not good to let them wait for a long time." She pointed to the team's bus. Tang En looked back and found that the members of the coaching staff, the team's players, and even the fans around the bus were watching him and Shaniya.
He coughed, cursing the group of men who like to read gossip in his heart. He deliberately said with a stern face: "It's okay, I'm their leader. If I ask them to wait, they have to wait!"
"But the plane doesn't wait for people."
This is right, Tang En touched his nose: "So goodbye, Xianya."
"Goodbye, Uncle Tony."
Shania waved her hand gently and turned around and left.
Tang En watched her slender back gradually walk away from behind. A feeling of indescribable slowly surged into his heart. Just like the weather now.
Damn it! I should have been happy, didn't I? We won today...
When the bus drove towards the airport, there were traces of water on the car window. On a cloudy evening, the street lights on the car window reflected on the roadside, which were reflected in the kaleidoscope-like light.
Tang En looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the window, and the first thing he remembered was Xianya. He unconsciously worried whether she had gotten into the car or was she drenched by the rain. If she drenched, would she catch a cold?
"Tony?" A man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which scared Don Eun.
"Ah? David, is there anything?"
"I see you suddenly feel bad. What's wrong? Didn't we win?" Chris Lark asked with concern.
Seeing his assistant ask, Tang En's face reappeared: "Yes, we won. It's nothing, I'm just being missed by this bad weather..." He pointed to the darker sky outside the window.
"Ah, it turns out you are worried about this. Don't worry, I think this weather condition will not delay our flight."
Tang En's eyes lit up and he looked at the sky again. Suddenly he hoped the weather would be worse...
How bad is it? Cancel the flight directly!
He turned his head and looked out the window. Because the sky was dark and it was raining, his vision was not good, but he still saw the famous statue standing in the distance - the Northern Angel (angel_of_the_north).
The brown-red steel angel has a pair of Boeing 757 ground wings. Since its completion in 1998, it has stood on the slopes of Gateshead for seven years. Even the storm with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour cannot shake her at all. Now she has become a symbol and landmark in Newcastle and even the entire Northern England.
For Tony Donn, there is also an angel in Newcastle, and it has become the entire symbol of the city of Newcastle in his heart.
Tang En's wishful thinking finally didn't start. Despite the rain, the rain is indispensable in England all year round. This level of rain cannot affect the normal opening of the airport.
Nottingham Forest boarded the flight to Birmingham on time.
Before boarding the plane, Tang En received a text message from Shaniya, telling him that he had arrived home and had a little rain, but it was fine. Finally, she congratulated Tang En's team on winning the victory. She forgot to tell him outside the stadium just now that she could only use text messages.
Tang En originally wanted to go back and let her pay attention to her health, but the team had already started boarding the plane, so he could only turn off his phone honestly.
When the plane pierced the rain and fog and rushed into the sky, the dim sky outside the window suddenly brightened, which attracted Tang En's gaze. He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, with white clouds below and clear sky above. Wherever the wings pointed, a red sun was piercing towards the Penning Mountains, its afterglow dyed the western sky red.
After winning away against Newcastle, Nottingham Forest ranked fifth in the 11th round of the league. Manchester United, which had the same points as them in the last round, fell to seventh because they lost to Portsmouth away in this round of the league.
Such achievements are certainly worthy of the joy of the forest supporters, but Tang En did not feel happy.
Let's see which teams are now ranked in the top six in the league - the first and second in the league are Arsenal and Chelsea, which have 26 points in the same league. Wenger's team has been defeated by Manchester United in the tenth round of the league. Their consecutive unbeaten games in the top league have been parked at the 49th game, which is exactly the same as the history in Donn's memory. The opponent is Manchester United, and the goals are Rooney and Van Nisstrui.
Although Arsenal lost, they and Chelsea are well deserved to be in the top two. Then...
The third in the league is Everton, and the fourth in the league is Bolton! The team that has been defeated by the Forest!
Traditional strong teams Manchester United and Liverpool are both in a downturn, ranking outside the seventh place.
The outside world attributes the current ranking of Forests to Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur's overall downturn. The evidence supporting their view is the league's points ranking list. Four teams ranked in the top six of the league together with Nottingham Forests are not worthy of their reputation.
Don En doesn't think the Forest team is worthy of its name, but is worried about Manchester United's efforts.
What does the fifth league mean? You can participate in the UEFA Cup next season. If you are lucky, you will be the UEFA Champions League!
Glory, fame, and money are all rolling in.
In fact, the final result of this season should be that Chelsea won the league championship with high scores, and Arsenal was unable to continue after being ended in a row and ranked second. Manchester United rushed to third place in one go. Moyes' Everton ranked fourth and qualified for the qualifying round of the Champions League. Liverpool, who finally won the UEFA Champions League this season, ranked fifth. The defending champion was not qualified to participate in the next UEFA Champions League championship. This happened to a traditional giant. Fortunately, the English FA actively mediated, which finally set a precedent.
