When Tony Donn led England to win the first European Cup in history, the English media advocated that world football had entered the "Donn era". During that time, Tony Donn's reputation in England even surpassed the British Prime Minister, and even Carl Spike, the mortal enemy, did not say bad things about him. Just think about the scene when he led England back to China, and there were so many people coming to greet him, you can know how unwise it is to say bad things about him at this time...

But Carl Spikes didn't wait too long. After the World Cup qualifiers rekindled, they finally found an opportunity to criticize Donn. The mighty England team in the European Cup seemed to have lost all their motivation and struggled in the qualifiers.

For a while, Tony Don't even had a position of coaching. The media scolded him so much that he was so angry that he was charged with all charges. There were even many authoritative media that seriously announced that the FA was seriously considering whether to let Don't go. As for the great achievements that led the England team to create history a year ago, they had long been forgotten in the wind.

Competitive sports are so cruel, with success and defeat.

What saved Donne was the 2017 Australian Federation Cup. As a preview of the following World Cup, the Federation Cup, which gathered champions of various continents, has received more and more attention. As the European champion in 2016, England was invited to participate.

England, which went to the Federation Cup, is very different from the European Cup a year ago. Old players such as Gerald and Terry have withdrawn from the national team one after another. The 25-year-old Willshere was entrusted with important tasks, and the media have regarded it as George Wood's successor to England in the future.

At this time, England was worried about whether they could qualify from Europe. This Federation Cup was like a relaxing trip. No one had hope for their results before the game. There were rumors that after the Federation Cup, if the results were not good, Don En would be fired by the FA.

But no one expected that. Tony Donne once showed his talent and led a team that no one was optimistic about. He actually beat the opponent all the way and finally defeated his old rival, the American Cup champion Argentina, and won the Federation Cup.

In the finals, he defeated teams like Argentina and won the Federation Cup, Don't's coaching position became stable overnight.

So much so that Carl Spike said sourly on his show: "Donn can always get a good opportunity in a critical moment. The Federation Cup is his good opportunity..."

Don En has also completed the team's renewal and reorganization through the Federation Cup. New Zealand England team is younger and more aggressive, and they will not stop because they have won the championship.

In the subsequent World Cup qualifiers, they rushed from third in the group to second in the group and finally qualified for the play-offs. In the play-offs, England defeated Russia and received a ticket to participate in the Australian World Cup finals at the last moment.

But at that time, when the whole of England was celebrating their qualifications for the World Cup. I'm afraid no matter how bold people are, they would not have thought they would see this scene today.

Sydney's Australian stadium has never been as lively as it was tonight, like an erupting volcano. But it sprays out not lava, but passion. The Australian stadium, which can accommodate 81,000 people, is the venue for the final of the World Cup, and is now full. The snow-white lights shot out from the stadium, illuminating the sky around it. It can be clearly seen that the helicopters responsible for aerial photography are hovering over the stadium.

Looking down from the air, the players of the two teams were fighting on the green field in the middle. The stands were crowded with people and the heat waves soared into the sky. You can clearly feel them in the helicopter.

There are more than 200 countries and regions around the world watching the live broadcast of this game. About 1.2 billion people are waiting in front of the TV to watch it. And in such a game, Tony Don is the figure!

"...It's less than five minutes before the end of the game, and now England's 2:0 score is ahead of the last World Cup champion Brazil! This is really an unexpected score before the game. Perhaps there are still many English fans who think they are dreaming..."

"Brazil's team is under pressure, if they can't equalize the score in these five minutes..."

"There are five minutes left! Hold on for another five minutes! We will win the World Cup for the second time! Our intensive defense makes Brazil unable to find a way to attack... The initiative fell into our hands from the beginning of the game! Their tactics were completely guessed by Tony Don!"

"Tang En stood on the sidelines and couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time. His face was very calm and he was not worried about Brazil's counterattack at all."

"I need to repeat the resume of Tony Donn since becoming the head coach - there is only one word on it: Champion! Now, the World Cup championship is close to you. It is within reach. If England can finally win the world championship, then for Tony Donn, there will be no more championship trophy in the world that he has not won!"

The person praised by everyone was standing on the sidelines, with his hands on his chest, looking very calm. In fact, his heart had already opened like boiling water. Although he had already set a goal for himself to dominate the world, at this moment, his heart was still beating uncontrollably. It seemed that when he opened his mouth, he would pop out of his mouth. That was why he pursed his lips tightly and looked very calm...

England is already on the defensive side of the court now. Wilshere, who assisted the team with the second goal, has long been replaced by Donne. England has arranged a double midfielder in the midfield, with George Wood and Michael Johnson locking the front of the penalty area. Even if it is Brazil, it is not so easy to attack.

The current situation is thanks to the fact that the Brazilian team's current head coach is not Dunga four years ago. Dunga led the team to win the sixth World Cup in a conservative way and then retired and went to Europe to make gold. The person who succeeded him was Laurenzo, the former head coach of Brazil's under 20 youth team. This person is different from Dunga. He is a typical supporter of Brazil's football tradition. He likes to attack and emphasizes the cooperation of short passes on the ground, and is determined to restore the glory of Brazilian art football.

It’s a pity that his ambitions were useless when facing Donne.                                                                                                                     �

Instead of continuing to stand on the sidelines to supervise the game, Tang En turned around and walked back and sat in the coach's seat. Next to him, no one could stay in his seat honestly. They all rushed to the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blew the whistle to the end of the game, and rushed in to celebrate this historic moment with the players on the field.

Everyone else was very excited.   The only one who felt tired.

He has been under great pressure in the past year, and most of this pressure is exerted by himself. Now it seems that there should be no suspense about England winning the world championship. What about after that?

Let's go back to celebrate...

Tang En thought further.

Before the World Cup, the FA hoped to renew his contract with Don Eun, but he refused. Although Sean Barclays looked very bad, Don Eun still showed off his cards - after the World Cup contract expires, he will no longer renew his contract with the FA. In other words, he will not continue to coach England. This is not news.

As the head coach of the national team, I won all the championships I can win, what's the point of staying? Don't want to lead England to create a great cause. He has no interest in the future of English football. For him, leading the England team is just to satisfy his love for football and a self-challenge. Now the challenges have been completed. He is also tired.

When Tang En sat alone in a chair and was stunned, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

"The game ends! England won the 2018 Australian World Cup championship! Congratulations to them! Congratulations to Tony Donne! He led the team to the national team honor Grand Slam - European Cup, Federation Cup, World Cup! This is a really enviable achievement!"

Then Tang En stood up from the chair, raised his hands high, and appeared in the camera lens in a victorious posture. Weakness was not manifested at this time.

"England is the world champion! This is an unexpected result! When they were unable to qualify in the European region for a time. Who would have thought that they would have such a day? Two years ago, Donn led the team to the top of Europe, and two years later, they became the king of the world!"

"We are the champions! We are the champions!!" John Motson was so excited that he was incoherent that he only knew this familiar slogan.

Around him, the coaches and players ran around ecstatically, and some even left tears of excitement. And what about Tang En? His mood was very calm and he was being interviewed by reporters.

The reporters surrounded him. I thought to myself that Tang En would become the world champion tonight and would be in a good mood, so he would definitely answer questions and answer questions. They could also gain a lot of inside information from the news to satisfy the audience and readers.

Tang En looked at the reporters who kept throwing the questions and the microphone at him, but just waved his hand and signaled them not to worry.

Seeing his gesture, the reporters really calmed down. Yes, the competition was over. There was nothing to worry about. They had plenty of time to ask questions. The award ceremony will take another half an hour.

"First of all, I have a list here..." as he said. Tang En took out a piece of folded paper from his inner pocket of the suit, spread it out, and shook it at the media. No one saw clearly what was written on it, only a dense piece of text was seen.

"I will refuse to accept interviews from the media that I have pronounced my name."

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed like a bombshell was dropped in the crowd!

What does this mean? When he was so happy, he turned black and refused to accept an interview? What was Tony Don't do? Is his brain cramped again?

Many English media only realized at this time that they were still facing the Tony Donne. More than ten years have passed. Although the wrinkles on his face have increased a lot and the hair on his head has become grayer, he is still the Tony Donne who is unruly and likes to face the media against the Tony Donne.

"Sun, World News..." Tang En lowered his head and read out the names on the "blacklist" one by one. These names were the most fiercer people who scolded him when he was in the most difficult time. The media that clamored all day long that he should roll down from the head coach of the England national team. At that time, Tang En also fought back in his column, but his voice was like a small stone that had been thrown into the sea, and even a wave could not be splashed.

At that time, these media never thought that one day they would be smiling and interviewing Tang En, hoping that he would open his mouth and let them report it.

Now, gentlemen, it's time to settle the accounts after autumn.

Tang En had already written down the names of these media one by one. Write them on the list and put them on them at any time. He was preparing for this time. Of course, if he did not win the championship in the end, then this list might not come in handy, because even if he refused to accept interviews from these media, he would not stop him from being scolded.

When these media heard Tang En recite their names, their expressions suddenly became extremely exciting. Tang En's list almost wrote most of the English media, and there were several foreign media. Even one Chinese media, because the Chinese media once said Tang En was "sexually incompetent".

After reading this list, Tang En looked at a group of stunned media in front of him and asked, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

The first person to react was the local reporter of Liverpool Echo. They had a representative figure of anti-Donn. So they often talked bad things about Donn in the newspaper. They were very excited about Donn’s announcement that he refused to accept an interview: "You can't do this, Mr. Donn!"

"Of course I can do this, Mr. Journalist. I am the world champion!" He said in awesome way. "You are asking for an interview with me. Instead of asking you to come and interview."

"You..." The reporter who echoed the reporter was so angry that he couldn't say anything for a long time after Tang En's words.

On the side, the reporter of the Sun was relatively sleek, so he would not protest directly. Now a fool can see that Tang En is in the limelight, and it is obvious that there is no good result when he fights against him. Although they have been fighting against each other many times before, as an excellent reporter, changing with the wind is a basic quality.

He leaned over and said humbly: "I am a reporter from the Sun. We will publish an apology letter in the newspaper and express our sincerest apology to you for what we said in the past..." His humble attitude made other media "wake up as if they were dreaming" - this should be done at this time! Use apology to ease the tense relationship with Tang En. After the World Cup, please make this master happy. Why didn't they expect it? Instead, let the Sun people seize the opportunity!

The Sun and other media believe this is the only way to solve the problem.

But Tang En's words shattered all of them: "I refuse to accept any kind of apology, and I will not accept any kind of interviews you have."

He had a very firm attitude and had absolutely no intention of joking or giving in. He saw that a group of media were stunned and he laughed.

"It seems that everyone has no questions to ask. That's good, I have to be with my players. Sorry, let me go." He pushed away the few people in front of him, and squeezed out of the encirclement of the general reporters.

A group of reporters looked at his back and mixed into the celebratory crowd, and then realized. But facing this meritorious coach who had just led the team to win the World Cup, they could only sigh at this time - they really dared not say anything bad about Tony and Don in their respective newspapers and media. Who made him a national hero now? Anyone who opposed him would be against England and even the whole of England. It was the public enemy of the country.

Moreover, what makes the media feel even more helpless is that after the World Cup, Tang En will announce his resignation. Since he is not in the position of coach, there is naturally no handle for the media to catch it, and there is no such thing as "a gentleman will take revenge for ten years."

Tang En turned around very casually, completely cutting off the possibility of the media seeking him. It made a group of people unable to breathe their anger and suffocate them to death.

A group of media sighed helplessly and dissipated.

On this happy night, they were not happy.

Don't have finished throwing his bombshell. At the press conference that night, Tony, who had just led England to win the second World Cup, announced a news that everyone was surprised:

"I decided to retire. Yes, it's retirement, not resignation. Not only did I retreat from the head coach position of England, I would not consider the invitation from other teams. From today on, I will not be coaching Tony Donn. I don't have a plan for the future. At present, I just want to enjoy the joy brought by the World Cup championship. Thanks to my team and the fans who support me."

After he finished saying this, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar...

Everyone was still looking forward to Tang En's success in making new glory, but why was he going to retire? Now he is less than fifty years old... As a coach, he is in his prime, so why is he going to retire?

No one knows what Tang En was thinking.                                                                                                                          �

Maybe he just likes to play with the public like this...

Tang En stood up and waved to the media, ready to say goodbye. Perhaps realizing that this was his last time to appear in public as a head coach, the reporters picked up the camera, pressed the shutter, and frozen his figure in the camera.
Chapter completed!
