Godfather Of Champions

Mitchell and Bell did not expect to see the boss in Wood's mother's ward, and they were so excited that they surrounded Dun En and asked for warmth, so that they had forgotten what they were doing here.

It was Dunn who took the initiative to introduce their Wood's mother's current situation, and the two people realized that they were a little gaffe. Fortunately, Wood is not the kind of scrupulous person, and he didn't take their performance to heart.

Mitchell and Bell came to the hospital to visit Wood and his mother as private persons and as friends of George Wood. Wood did not talk to them about his decision to retire, but they asked it out.

"George, I heard rumors outside that you are going to retire. Is this true?" Bell stared at Wood and asked.

Hearing Bell's question, Dunn and Wooks looked at each other.

Bell didn't notice the little movement between Dunn and Woods. He was watching Wood with Mitchell, hoping to get his answer.

Dunn suddenly felt a headache. With Wood's temper, he would not lie. If he tells the truth, how would Bell and Mitchell react? Will you turn your face on the spot? What should I do? One Wood is enough for him to have a headache, and then Bell and Mitchell...this muddy water is really bad.

Based on Dunn's understanding of Wood, Wood should nodded sternly next. But Wood shook his head: "How is it possible? I never said that."

This surprised Dunn. He quickly glanced at Wookes and found that Wookes was also looking at him suspiciously. Could it be that Wood really changed his mind because of his mother's awakening? Decided not to retire?

If this is the case, it will be fine.

Dunn was a little relieved psychologically.

Hearing Wood say this, Bell immediately beamed with joy and turned to Mitchell and said: "Look, I'm right! It's just a rumor! The rumor is not credible!"

Mitchell also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt embarrassed that he had doubted the captain, scratched his head and said, "That's fine, I really don't know what we should do if you retire..."

Dunn suddenly said next to him: "Idiot, George is older than you. He will retire the day, and you will definitely continue to play football at that time."

Unexpectedly, Mitchell shook his head and said: "I am twenty-eight years old this year, and George is thirty-two this year. He can at least be 40 years old. By then I will be thirty-six and I will retire early."

Unexpectedly, he made this idea, Dunn couldn't laugh or cry. Everyone says that Wood can play until forty years old. Does he really believe it?

Wood didn’t explain. He took Bell and Mitchell to ask about the team’s situation in the last two days. Naturally, there was no good news. Bell told him that the current Forest team was panicked. After losing the mainstay, everyone didn’t know. Taken.

Mitchell asked Wood if he could participate in the away game with Liverpool the day after tomorrow.

Wood hesitated for a while. During this time, he really didn't want to play. Even if he barely played, his form was gone. At this point he told the truth, saying that he could not go to Anfield.

Although Mitchell had some regrets, he didn't force it. His mother was seriously ill and was in a coma and was hospitalized, and she had to force her to participate in the competition. It was too inhuman, so he just asked casually.

They didn't talk for too long. When George Wood wanted to rest, Woods sent the two out of the ward again. When they left the hospital, they naturally caused a commotion among the reporters, but with the help of many policemen, they went smoothly without any harassment.

As soon as they left, Dunn couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart: "You decided not to retire, George?"

Wood shook his head: "I lied to them."

Dunn did not continue to question, nor did he intend to persuade him to withdraw this decision. After knowing that Wood was really planning, he didn't say a word. Just nodded slightly. This kid is really stubborn, how can he change his mind so easily? It seems that he is in a bad mood during this period, so it is better not to mention this.

Wood went to rest on his own. Dunn sat in the reception room for a while. After Wux came back, he greeted Wux and left. After all, Wood can live in the ward, but he can't. He has to go home to rest and think about how to persuade Wood.

At 10:30 in the morning, the bar was not open before the legal opening time, and a "Close" sign was hung outside the door to remind customers who wanted to come in: Our shop has not yet opened.

Kenny Burns was sitting behind the bar wiping the glass wine glasses, the door made a "creak" and someone came in.

"Sorry, it's not time to open the door, please..." He raised his head as he spoke, and found that the figure of the person standing at the door was a bit familiar. Because of the backlight, he couldn't see the appearance of the coming person, so he could only guess from his body shape.

John? too skinny. Bill? A little fatter again...

So who is it?

The group of dark shadows spoke, but the voice made Burns surprised.

"For more than ten years, I have always had a question that I don’t understand—Kenny, are the cups in your hand endless and endless? I think about it, except the first time I saw you, you almost They all sit in that position and wipe the cups."

"Ha, Tony!" Burns put down the cup in his hand and walked around from behind the bar. Before he reached Dunn, he opened his arms to extend his welcome. "How did you come back?"

Dunn also opened his arms and gave Burns a warm hug.

"I received a call from George's agent and came back."

Burns was silent for a while. The news that Wood's mother was hospitalized in critical condition had long been considered news, they all knew. Dunn and Wood have such a good relationship, it is not surprising to come back this time.

Dunn sat in front of the bar with a glass of water in front of him, while Burns sat behind the bar and continued to wipe his glass.

Because it has not officially opened, there are not too many lights in the bar, only a few wall lights on the wine cabinet are turned on here. The roller shutter outside the window was half-shielded, and the light came in obliquely from there, bringing a little light to the dim room, and the small dust in the room rolled under the light, like water vapor used for special effects on the stage.

Such an environment is really suitable for talking about some private topics.

After the two chatted for a while, the topic was brought to Wood. "Recently, there are rumors that George is going to retire?" As a fan of the Forest team, Burns is very concerned about Wood.

Dunn nodded: "This is not a rumor."

Burns didn't make a surprise, he just looked at Dunn, and then continued to wipe his cup. "Because of his mother's condition?"

"Ok."

"You came back because of this?"

Dunn gave another hum.

"See Wood?"

"I saw it, but I didn't mention it...I don't know how to speak."

Burns nodded when he heard the words: "George has been emotionally unstable recently. Let him calm down for a short time. You should persuade him to be fine..."

Unexpectedly, Dunn shook his head and interrupted him: "No, Kenny. Time is not enough. Woods told Wood that if he wanted to retire, he had to discuss with the club. In order to hold him, Woods said to After Sophia wakes up, we will discuss this issue. Sophia woke up yesterday afternoon, and this matter can't be delayed..."

Burns heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Wood's mother woke up: "Since his mother is awake, things are not easy to do? Wood only listens to you and his mother. You can ask his mother to persuade Wood."

Dunn shook his head again: "Sophia is very weak and mentally weak now. I don't want to tell her such a shocking news, in case it stimulates her again..."

Dunn didn't say the rest, but Burns also understood what was going on. Now he is gone. He knew how difficult it was to persuade Wood to change his mind.

However, it is not a way to consume it all the time. Dunn drank a glass of water before leaving Burns and going to the hospital.

※※※

Dunn, wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, bought a newspaper in the newsstand outside the hospital. He didn't intend to buy it. Now he didn't bother to read the newspaper, but he passed by the newsstand accidentally. Glancing at the colorful newspapers placed on it, the headline on one of them immediately attracted his attention.

"George Wood is retired!"

After the title was marked in bold and black font, it could be said to be "shocking", but he didn't pay attention. Previously, the media used "question marks", but today they replaced them with "exclamation marks." If you contacted what Bell and Burns said yesterday, it seems that the rumors are about to become facts...

He walked over to put down the money, took the last newspaper, rolled it in his hands, and hurried away.

In such a situation, it is necessary to persuade Wood to change his mind as soon as possible and come out to refute the rumors. Otherwise, I am afraid that the military will be unstable and Nottingham Forest's performance will reach a new low.

To say that Dunn doesn't care about the forest team's current performance is false, otherwise he would not be far away in the United States and think about the recent record of the Forest team on the Internet. After all, he has been in this team for eleven years, and there are still a few players he brought out so far. How could he not have any feelings? Now, watching the red whirlwind that was so powerful at the beginning has fallen to this point, it really makes him heartache.

The great rivers and mountains that I had smashed in the first place, now there is nothing left to lose.

Entering the hospital from a special passage, avoiding the annoying reporters, Dunn stepped into the ward. He found Miss Vivienne Miller waiting in the reception room outside, while Wood was talking to her mother in the ward.

Seeing Dunn coming in, Vivian said hello politely. "Mr. Dunn, good morning."

"Good morning, Miss Miller." Dunn sat down on the sofa and began to read the newspaper in his hand.

Vivian noticed the headline of the newspaper in Dun En's hand, so eye-catching, it was hard not to pay attention. The media really tried their best to hype this gimmick.

"Mr. Dunn..."

Dunn, who was reading the newspaper, put down the newspaper and raised his head when he heard someone calling him. "What's the matter, Miss Miller?"

"Ah..." Vivian, who said rashly, felt that she was reckless at this time, but she couldn't say "Nothing, I just scream." I had to bite the bullet and asked the question in my heart: "Does Mr. Wood really want to retire?"

Dunn did not answer this question right away, but tilted his head and looked at the young nurse lady for a while. Blond and blue-eyed, they are pretty good, but there are some freckles on the face, but the skin of western women is not very good, this freckles is really not a flaw. She really cares about Wood...

After looking at it, Dunn shook his head: "No."

"On that newspaper..." Vivian pointed to the newspaper set aside.

"All rumors."

The two were chatting, Billy Woods opened the door and they looked at each other. Vivienne was very well-behaved, knowing that the two of them must have something to say, so she stopped talking with Dun En, but found an excuse to leave the ward.

After Vivienne was gone, facing Dunn’s questioning gaze, Woods said: “The club also knew that Wood could not be retired. It was an excuse to watch the match against Liverpool. The club’s senior management ran away.”

Dunn laughed blankly when he heard this. It seems that Evan is not confused on this point, knowing that Wood is now his last straw, and if Wood retires, he will be over. So just dragged away from meeting.

"It's up to you next, Mr. Dunn." Woods looked at Dunn and said.

A bitter look suddenly appeared on Dunn's face: "It is much harder to persuade him not to retire than to persuade him to rest."

"The reason is the same, use his mother to press him." Woods said.

Dunn glanced at the ward behind the glass window, the feelings for mother and son were really good.

※※※

Sophia suddenly remembered something. Yesterday she felt something vaguely wrong, but she had just woke up at that time, her mind was still rather chaotic and she didn't think about it for a while. After chatting with Wood for a long time now, I finally remembered that thing.

"Right, George. What day is it today?"

Wood did not know why his mother suddenly asked about the date, and honestly replied: "Saturday."

Sophia looked away from Wood's face and stared at the ceiling for a while before saying, "I remember, aren't you going to play in Liverpool this Sunday?"

Seeing his mother mentioned this matter, Wood immediately screamed inwardly.

"Uh... the club gave me a holiday, mom. I don't have to participate in tomorrow's game..."

Sophia frowned. The bird cherishes its feathers, but she cherishes the reputation of her son. In professional football for a long time, speaking of George Wood, that is synonymous with dedication. People who are dissatisfied with Wood can attack him on the court. He is ruthless, rude and hurts countless people, but no one dares to say that Wood is undisciplined and has no Professional ethics. Seeing the praise in the media about Wood in this respect, Sophia was also very happy-who wants to make her son a person who is scolded all day long?

But now she heard that Wood didn't even go to the game. In Sophia's simple thinking, what does a professional player do? It is to play football as a profession. Participating in competitions and training is work. If you don't do the work, how can you be considered a "professional player"?

"George, mom is all right. Miss Miller is taking care of her here, no problem. You should go to Liverpool for the game."

Wood was embarrassed and didn't know how to tell his mother for a while. At this time, he heard Dunn's voice coming from behind: "Madam, I'm afraid the club has already reported all the big list for tomorrow's competition at this time. Even if George rushes over, he is not eligible to participate in the competition."

It turned out that when Dunn and Wookes were chatting, they suddenly found that the atmosphere in the ward was different. It seemed that something happened between Wood and Sophia. He came in and took a look. He just heard Sophia's words.

From this sentence, Dunn can guess Sophia's attitude, he thinks there is a way to persuade Wood. But at the moment he still helped Wood shut his mother through. Wood was grateful that he helped himself again, and next time he talked about retirement, he wouldn't show him his expression again.

Sophia thought about it, and felt that Dunn was right. She was too anxious just now. But when she thought that her son even gave up participating in the competition because of him, she lost the interest to continue talking. Dunn saw the change of expression on Sophia's face next to him. Knowing that she had no intention of speaking at this time, he said to Wood: "Let your mother rest for a while, George."

After speaking, he went out first and waited outside.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Wood also walked out of the ward. He found that Dunn was not sitting on the sofa, but standing at the door, as if waiting for him.

"How long have you not been out of this hospital?" Dunn looked at Wood and extended an invitation to him, "Let's go for a walk, I'm always bored and in a bad mood."

Wood didn't reject Dunn's proposal, he nodded. Obviously, Dunn's way of helping him out just now has worked.

So Dunn rang the bell in exchange for Vivian and asked her to stay here to take care of Sophia. And he went out with Wood. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
