Chapter 171 The Destiny of the Gypsy (Part 1)

Tony Donn once again became a news figure, but this time he not only showed up in the local media in Nottingham or the English media, but was on the sports version of major European media.

The focus of the media's reports is naturally not the score of Nottingham Forest narrowly defeating Sporting Lisbon 3-2 at home, but the debate that took place at the press conference after the game. The first one to reveal the news was the Portuguese Lisbon media. Of course, they would not say the mistake was Jose Pecero. The Portuguese described Tony Donn as an impolite, arrogant, rude and uneducated country bumpkin and hooligan in the news. The words he attacked Pacero slightly distorted and then posted them as evidence.

The Portuguese media fired the first shot, and the English tabloids definitely did not make it unstoppable. The Times fired the first shot of the English media's counterattack. The focus of the English media's counterattack was on the malicious invasion of Roshenbak during the game and the proud look on his face afterwards. Thanks to the developed TV technology, such subtle flashes of expressions can be captured, and can be played repeatedly for a long time for the audience to "appreciate".

The two media quarrels between the two countries naturally attracted the attention of media in other countries in the European continent. Two people were seriously injured in a 8th final of the League Cup and one person was sent off. After the game, the head coaches of both sides did not give up and quarreled at the press conference... There are too many highlights.

To be joking, Tony Donne is now also a head coach with European reputation.

But now Tang En doesn't have the intention to joke at all.

As mentioned earlier, two serious injuries were caused in one game. Fabio Roshenbak of Sporting Lisbon was diagnosed with torn ankle ligament and accompanied by slight bone fractures. It is optimistic that he will be on standby for 18 months!

I really didn't expect that George Wood's seemingly normal kick would have such power. If Pacero had learned the exact news and Roshenbuck's recovery time after the game, he would probably have staged a "mortal kombat" with Tony Donn in front of the reporters on the spot?

Eighteen months, a year and a half. It was already 2007 when Roshenbak could return to the court. Even if he recovered, his condition and body would definitely plummet and he would never be able to recover from the past. Roshenbak himself is a defensive midfielder with a tough style. Perhaps he himself didn't know how many opponents he had injured in this career, but he definitely didn't expect that one day he would be kicked seriously.

Coach Jose Pecero has full reason to be angry, and Tony Donn is no exception.

As soon as the press conference ended, he received a call from Professor Constantine himself to tell him some bad news.

Freddy Eastwood's injury was on the meniscus.

Just hearing this name, Tang En's heart was beating wildly. He had heard this word a lot when he was a fan, and countless players were ruined on this small meniscus.

Eastwood suffered another severe damage to his right knee and his outer meniscus was broken. Surgical treatment is required, and at least five months of recovery is required after treatment.

This means that if you are lucky and everything goes well, Eastwood will have to wait until the start of next season before playing. And the meniscus basically has no or few special parts with regeneration ability. Even if the operation is successful, Eastwood's right leg will leave a permanent hidden danger. He may fall down again due to injury here at any time. Even if he is not injured, the damaged meniscus will greatly limit his performance. No one knows what kind of performance he can perform after returning to the court.

It has only been two years since the last serious injury, and another serious injury. Donn was worried that Eastwood would have lost his mind before he recovered. The second day of the game, he decided to go and see the forward he brought back from a community green space in East London in private.

He hoped to see Eastwood's naughty smile and hear his quick, sharp and cheerful voice.

Royal College of Medicine, University of Nottingham.

Tang En hasn't been here for a long time. The first time he came was to find someone to give his head an authoritative appraisal. From then on, he met the loyal Forest team fan, Professor Constantine, and also abducted two clinical experts in sports injury. The most recent time seemed to be sending Shania from the fever. The first time he and the little girl "know" and "get along" was in the hospital ward here. Time flies so fast, and it's been a year and a half in a flash.

Professor Constantine greeted Donne alone at the gate. Although Eastwood was not responsible for sports injuries, he was not responsible for Tony Donne's personal friend, he still helped a lot in this matter.

"How is he in his mood? Professor?" This is the first sentence when Donn and Constantine met.

"I don't know what to say." Constantine shook her head, "We told him the injury, and his reaction was very...well, it must be inappropriate to say that she is very happy. In short, it is him who smiles and comforts, but I always feel that his emotions are abnormal, or that is not the emotions that a normal person should show at that time. Do you understand what I mean, Tony?"

Tang En nodded.

"I was seriously injured twice in the same part, and I was worried about his career..." Constantine said halfway and didn't continue. He knew that Tang En must have known it.

Tang En lowered his head and didn't speak. He just accelerated the pace under his feet.

The two walked into the hospitalization building in silence.

Compared with the outpatient building that comes and goes, the inpatient building looks a bit deserted. Or quiet. The footsteps of Don and Professor Constantine are very clear in the corridor, and finally the footsteps disappear in front of a door.

"It's here." Constantine pointed to the door with the index number "402". "I'll go back first, come to me if you have something to do, Tony."

Tang En nodded again: "Thank you, professor."

When he saw Professor Constantine turn and leave, Tang En raised his hand and knocked on the ward door gently.

"Please come in." A female voice rang inside.

Done pushed the door and saw Serim, who was still peeling an apple for Eastwood with a big belly.

Thrim leaned against the door and did not see who was pushing the door. Eastwood, who was lying on the bed, sat up: "Boss."

The ward was filled with flower baskets, like a flower shop. The largest bouquet was given by Nottingham Forest Club, and there were many Forest fans and players.

"It's very good, boss." Seeing that Don Eun focused on the flowers, Eastwood joked, "Even if I retire now, I can still open a flower shop."

Tang En smiled: "This joke is so cold, Freddy. Are you thinking about living arrangements after retirement now?"

When Serim heard that the two were about to start discussing this topic, he quickly put down the apple, found an excuse and went out.

Don Eun watched Serim leave and asked, “Is the child going to be born?”

"Three months left." Eastwood replied.

"You are so young that you have to have a father with two children..." Done sat on the chair on the floor, picked up the half-cut apple, and continued the unfinished work of Serim.

"Boss, don't you want to find one for yourself?" Eastwood smiled.

"Uh... I haven't met the right one yet?"

"What's the right thing?"

Tang En, who lowered his head and peeled an apple, shook his head: "I don't know. This question is too difficult to answer. Moreover, there is a saying in China that is - good men are determined to be in all directions. It means that men should put their career first, and they should let go of things like finding a wife before they can achieve their careers. Look, I still have nothing to do now."

He shrugged and curled his lips.

"Legendary Coach..." Eastwood murmured.   It was a future picture that Don Eun once painted him, it was very beautiful.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           �

Donn peeled the last piece of apple and handed it to Eastwood. “You have no confidence in your abilities, Freddy?”

"No, I never doubt my ability.  I just...I just don't have confidence in my body." Freddy took the peeled apple and looked blankly.    "I've been satisfied since I was injured for the first time.  Boss, you helped me realize my dream that I could only think about occasionally. I also won a championship trophy. Compared with those teammates I met in Grace Sports before, I'm very lucky.    Some people love football and have a healthy body, but they can't even touch the fur of honor.   What about me? There is also a champion who has played in European events, participated in the English top league, and scored goals..."

Tang En waited quietly for him to finish his words, then put away the fruit knife, looked at him and asked, "Do you know the result of yesterday's game?"
