Godfather Of Champions

"American sports news is really scarce..." Dunn mumbled and turned off the TV. He wanted to watch sports news or something on TV, but there were few reports about football. He was talking about basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and rugby. It's not really scarce, it's just that there is very little news about football.

He decided to go online to see what European football news is. Although he is retired, it is impossible for him to rest at home for a lifetime and let his wife raise him. The future work is basically inseparable from football, so he must do his homework and keep an eye on the world football, so that he will not get blind when he really needs the information.

Dunn had already planned for his future, and after a few months of rest, he went out to look for work again. If nothing else, he will accept the invitation of BBC5 to be a commentator on football matches. As for the future... he has not considered, maybe he will host a football show like Lineker. .

Teresa was taking a nap in her room at the moment, but Dunn couldn't rest. Because if he wants to do something of his own, he can only use Teresa's nap time, otherwise when Teresa wakes up, he will go to accompany her daughter.

Just as he just turned on the computer, the phone next to him rang.

Dunn picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. It turned out to be the old man Billy Woods.

This surprised him a bit. He remembered that since he was no longer the head coach of Nottingham Forest, Wood’s agent had rarely approached him. There was no personal friendship between them. Since the working relationship is gone, there is no need to contact him. .

What did he do when he called himself?

Dunn thought for a while before answering the phone. In fact, he really doesn't really like to deal with this old man who has an unusual sexual orientation, especially when he hears his non-male or female voice, he gets goose bumps. But after all, in his own post, this agent didn't really want to push George Wood away, so he still wanted to show the other side a little face.

"Hi, Mr. Woods, why did you think of calling me?" Dunn teased. "I am not the head coach of Nottingham Forest now."

"Are you still in Los Angeles now, Mr. Dunn?" What Dunn didn't expect was that the other party did not continue to sneer.

"Huh?" This question made Tang En stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "Yes, I'm in Los Angeles. Why, are you there? Are you here on vacation?"

"I was there two days ago, but now I am in Nottingham. It sounds like you have a good time in Los Angeles, but I'm sorry... can you go back to Nottingham now?"

Dunn felt weird: "Go back to Nottingham? I have to wait another month..." A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "What's wrong, Mr. Woods?"

"George is going to retire, I persuaded him to listen all night. I think the only people in this world who can persuade him are his mother and you. But it is a pity that his mother is now lying in a hospital bed and limited to a coma. So only you can..."

Dunn didn't listen to a word of the following words.

He felt as if he was experiencing a thunderstorm in his mind, with lightning and thunder, rumbling. This is simply amazing, his brain can't react a little, almost dead.

George Wood retired? Sophia is unconscious?

what happened?

"...Mr. Dunn, I hope you can come back right away." Wooks' words fell into Dunn's ears-he finally recovered. "George is going to hold a press conference to announce this news... But you know that if he does announce it, things will only get worse. I persuaded him not to listen. I can only tell him that the club has a contract with him. He decides to terminate his contract and retire. At the very least, he should discuss with the club...I'm waiting for you, Mr. Dunn."

When Woods finished speaking in one breath, Dunn opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. It was the first time that he saw Woods lose his calm demeanor and said so much in one breath.

After the lightning and thunder, his mind was a violent storm and became a mass of paste. He shook his head vigorously, then pinched his thigh, and he cried out in pain.

"Mr. Dunn?" Woods heard Dunn's scream on the other end of the phone, and still didn't understand what happened.

"Uh...it's nothing, I'm fine. I'll be back, and I'll book a ticket now." Dunn was choked by himself so that tears came out, which also made his mind sober. "Before I come back, you must help me hold him! Let's get in touch anytime!"

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Next, Dunn got up and went around the room a few times to calm himself down. Then he made two calls, one was Shania, and told him that he was in a hurry and must rush back to Nottingham. Teresa stayed in Los Angeles. Stay with her, he will come back after the matter is over. Shania was surprised that Dunn had decided to return to Nottingham so suddenly. She asked what was so urgent. Dunn told her that George was going to retire. She immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and she promised Dunn to work. As soon as it was over, rushed home to take care of Teresa.

The second call, Dunn, called the local booking center to book a flight to London that would take off the fastest.

After making these two calls, Tang Ento took out his suitcase and started packing. In fact, there was nothing to take, just a few underwear and a few sets of clothes, which were quickly stuffed into the suitcase by Dunn. After finishing all this, Dunn sat down and thought about what he had just heard.

Sophia is in a coma... Obviously her condition has worsened, and her health has not been very good for the past few years. Ruthlessly said, Sophia will not live for a few years. Dunn was a little psychologically prepared for this. But Wood didn't...no, it wasn't that he did, but he didn't want to admit it.

Wood's retirement and Sophia's coma are inextricably linked. Dunn thought about it carefully, and he understood Wood. This kid must be because his mother is critically ill and has no intention of training and competition. And over the past ten years, his mother has been his entire driving force for everything. Now his mother is critically ill, he obviously has no intention of continuing to play football, so choosing to retire and stay with his mother is his future plan.

But such a plan...

"You idiot!" Dunn cursed.

※※※

The news that Sophia was in a coma and was hospitalized soon spread throughout Britain. Everyone knows that Wood’s favorite person is his mother, so because of Sophia’s illness, no one feels fussed about the absence of training. It’s just that there are more and more media watching outside the hospital day and night, and the hospital and the police have to Many people are drawn to maintain order and block the paparazzi who do not drill.

Vivienne Miller is still responsible for taking care of Sophia's daily life in the ward-in fact, there is nothing to take care of at the moment. Two days have passed, and Wood's mother is still in a coma. The attending doctors are worried that Sophia will no longer wake up and become a vegetable. Of course, they didn't tell George Wood about this worry, they just discussed it in private.

Last night, Wood and his agent were talking outside for a long time, and the tone was a bit intense. Vivienne didn't hear what they were arguing about, but when she saw the two people appear in front of her again, her face was not very good. She doesn't know what happened to the two people. It stands to reason that this kind of thing doesn't need her to worry about. Her job is only to take care of the patient, not including the son who cares about the patient. But once she was free, she would think-what made the two of them quarrel so fiercely?

At this moment, Wood was sitting on the sofa outside the ward, burying his head in his hands, only for one night, his spirit was much more decadent than before.

Woods pushed in.

"I called the club and they heard about your retirement. Would you like to hear their reaction?"

Wood shook his head: "I'm going to retire anyway."

"You still have a contract with the club. If you want to forcibly terminate the contract and retire, you have to discuss with the club. The club obviously does not approve of your retirement application. They agreed to give you a period of leave, but they don't want you to retire." If you should be persuaded, Wookes had already spoken dry last night. Now he doesn't want to say any more, just relaying the opinions of the club.

Next, Woods sat opposite Wood and looked at Wood: "Did your mother wake up?"

Wood shook his head slowly. This is the source of his uneasiness. His mother hasn't opened her eyes yet, and she doesn't know if she can wake up again.

"If you really want to retire, it's best to talk to a representative of the club..." Woods said again.

This time Wood did not disagree, he just nodded. There was another silence in the ward.

※※※

Although they were going to have an interview with the club representatives, the club did not immediately send anyone, because they were already frightened by the news of Wood's retirement.

"Retired?!" McAllister was taken aback by the news. If it weren't for the club chairman Evan Daugherty's mouth, he would probably think that the other party intended to entertain himself. Although Wood is thirty-two years old, he is still in good health. Everyone thinks that he can play until at least forty, just like the legendary captain of the previous Forest team, Stuart Pierce.

"George's agent called us and said he decided to retire last night."

Evan looked at two of his men, one was head coach McAllister and the other was Alan Adams. He hoped that these two men could come up with some ideas.

"I think this is ridiculous..." Alan Adams frowned, "How can anyone decide to retire so rashly?"

McAllister said next to him: "In fact, some retirements are indeed the product of impulse. For example, the former Manchester United King Cantona..."

Evan waved his hand, and if he entangled in this issue, he would digress. "I don't care why he wants to retire, in short, he can't get his wish. We all know that Nottingham Forest can't leave him. You can think of a way for me."

McAllister hesitated, he secretly glanced at Alan Adams, who was sitting next to him, and the other party was indifferent. It seems that I am going to watch the show, but I think about it. Wood is his McAllister player. In this matter, his head coach obviously has more say than the marketing manager.

"I'll persuade him..." It seems that only oneself can do this kind of thing. Communicating with Wood is not an easy task... McAllister has been on the team for a few months, but he hasn’t really communicated with Wood because he chatted with him. You said that for the first half an hour, your saliva If you do, you may only get one or two answers. To be honest, he would rather lead the team to a **** fight with Manchester United at Old Trafford, rather than talk to George Wood in private.

Seeing that the head coach took the initiative to take over the task, Evan Daggerty nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that Wood must have been impulsive. Now the head coach personally went over to persuade him to give a lot of face, and let him calm down for a day, should he withdraw his decision to retire?

※※※

With Evan's arrangement, it took a day for McAllister to come to the hospital to see Wood. In the past two days, Wood has taken charge of the hospital ward, where he eats and drinks and Lazarus is all here. He will not sleep well unless his mother wakes up. When McAllister saw him, he could hardly believe his eyes-the legendary captain of Nottingham Forest was haggard with deep eyes and shaggy beard, and he was very different from George Wood, who was on the court with great spirits. People are far apart.

After greeting Wood's mother first, McAllister picked out his intentions-persuading Wood to withdraw his decision to retire.

McAllister analyzed the pros and cons of this retirement to Wood from all angles, hoping that he would calm down. But he failed.

Regardless of what McAllister said, Wood just didn't speak, and waited until he had finished saying: "I have already decided, retiring."

When McAllister heard him say this, he suddenly retreated. He was already skeptical about whether he could convince Wood. Now it just happened to let him retreat.

Evan Daugherty heard McAllister say that Wood was determined, and after he could do nothing, he had to go on his own. Take Alan Adams to the hospital, visit Wood's mother with the club's famous words, and tell him to stay with his mother in the hospital with peace of mind. The team has given him a vacation, and it is not too late to return to the team after his mother's condition improves.

Anyway, it just doesn't mention retirement.

It's a pity that Wood didn't appreciate it and didn't express his gratitude to Evan Daggerty for his arrangement. The first sentence after allowing him to speak was: "When will I start talking to the club about my retirement?"

Evan was blocked by these words and didn't know what to say, so he stood there stupidly for a long time before remembering to use a postponement strategy.

"Let's talk when your mother wakes up, George..."

Besides delaying time, he couldn't think of any other way. Maybe after Sophia wakes up, Wood will change his mind when he is happy?

But if Wood still insists on retiring after Sophia wakes up, what should the club do then?

In the heart of Evan Daggerty, the president of the club, there is nothing...
