With a hint of unease, Tang En led the team to Milan, Italy.
What kept his mood from worsening was that in Milan, almost no one cared about such a boring topic as his relationship with Gloria. The reporters mostly asked about the match. After all, this was Italy, and the Italian media did not care about the private life of a British celebrity.
Tang En did not care why they did not care. Anyway, he no longer had to answer those questions that made him feel uncomfortable. That was the most important thing. He could settle down and prepare for the match.
Wait a minute. His heart still could not settle down.
Shania still did not come to contact him. Her phone was turned off, and her mSN was not online.
Tang En knew that now was not the time to be distracted. Inter Milan was not a team that could be casually dismissed. Even though he could not contact Shania, he could only suppress the worry in his heart and prepare for the Champions League.
He adapted to the venue at San Siro and carried out his daily training. Everything went according to plan.
In England, reports of Gloria's interview appeared in various media outlets. In the interview, Gloria personally denied having a relationship with Tang En that was "beyond a normal boyfriend and girlfriend and work relationship." She also did not forget to rebuke the English tabloids for being "boring." As for eating together, Gloria said, "If a man inviting a woman to eat together counts as a couple, then I think the number of husbands in the world who have not had an affair can be counted on one hand." As for the intimate gesture, Gloria's explanation was, "Mr. Tang and I are friends. I think it's normal for friends to occasionally make some intimate gestures. If you always keep a distance of five meters from your friends, speak with honorifics, and be polite at all times, it's as if you're wearing a mask. Then please don't use your alien standards to judge others. "
Gloria's counterattack was very powerful. Besides, apart from that intimate gesture, The Sun did not have any further evidence to show that Twain and Gloria were a couple. They did not go to the hotel alone to get a room, and the person who took the photos followed the two of them the whole time. If they did something explosive, then he would have to take out the photos. Now, apart from the few photos of them eating, there was nothing else. What did this mean? It meant that The Sun had run out of tricks. If they could not produce new photos to prove that Tang En and Gloria had other overly intimate scenes, or even had sex, the topic that The Sun had stirred up would fade again.
Nottingham Forest's trip to AC Milan might be an opportunity for the media to regain the initiative. Everyone knew that Gloria's filming team would definitely go to Milan to film the match live. Then, the two protagonists in the story would definitely meet again. At that time, as long as someone was sent to keep a close eye on them, they would be able to find out if there were any unknown "little secrets" behind them …
Italy's professional sports media were paying attention to the Champions League quarterfinals, while England, which did not have a professional football media, sent a large number of professional gossip entertainment media to Milan.
The Italians wanted to know the outcome of the match between Nottingham Forest and Inter Milan, while the Englishmen were more concerned about the relationship between Tony Twain, the youngest manager, and the beautiful European broadcaster, Clarice Gloria.
The day after Tang En's team arrived in Milan, Gloria also brought her film crew to the San Siro stadium to film while they were training to adapt to the venue. Under the watchful eyes of many English media on the spot, they set up the machine to film.
As Gloria smiled at the people who cast curious looks at her, Tang En led the team to train. On the surface, you could see everything. In fact, deep down, he could not help but think about what Shania was doing now …
What a mess …
※ ※ ※
The next day was the match day. Although Tang En did not impose any ban on going out the night before the game, the players stayed in the hotel and did not go out. Their entertainment was to go to the entertainment hall downstairs to play billiards and table tennis.
The coaching staff did not spend the night studying their opponents. As a well-known European team, Inter Milan had long been thoroughly studied by Tang En and the others.
Unlike those unknown teams, it was easier to collect information on a powerhouse team like Inter Milan.
Therefore, the coaches had nothing to do in the evening.
Kerslake planned to call Tang En to the bar downstairs to have a drink and chat.
Tang En lay on the bed, so bored that he pressed the TV remote control. He had no intention of getting up and going out. "I'm a little tired. I'll watch TV and rest. David. "
Kerslake looked at Tang En's listless appearance and sighed. He then shrugged. "Well, you rest early. There's a fierce battle tomorrow." He turned and closed the door.
Tang En agreed with a "hmm", but his eyes never left the TV screen. He held the remote control in his hand and pressed the "next channel" mechanically. A variety of programs flashed on the screen. There were news, movies, soap operas, talk shows, sports competitions, adult programs … and fashion shows.
Wait a minute.
Fashion shows?
Tang En stopped pressing the "next channel" button and froze for two seconds. Then, he suddenly realized and pressed it back. When the models on the catwalk appeared on the screen, Tang En only had time to see the back of a person walking backstage.
Although it was only a back view, Tang En did not think he would recognize the wrong person.
But this program … Tang En noticed a "LIVe" logo on the top right of the screen, which meant a live broadcast.
Following that, a caption appeared at the bottom of the screen, explaining that this was the new product launch of the internationally renowned brand CD, which was being held in Milan today.
Tang En abruptly jumped up from the bed like a carp.
Address! What was the address?
Tang En was just about to rush out of the door when he remembered that he did not know where the fashion show would be held.
He was so anxious that he paced around the room. The model on the screen was already a stranger. Tang En suddenly thought that there might be someone who had a way to know where the new product launch would be held. He took out his cell phone and called Chris Gloria.
"CD's new product launch?" Gloria wondered why Tang En was suddenly interested in this. "I remember that Mr. Tang doesn't know anything about fashion and is not interested in it?"
"Uh … uh, I want to go there to find someone." Tang En glanced at the TV screen, hoping to see that familiar figure again as he explained to Gloria.
"Hmm … Alright. Wait a moment. I'll call and ask my friend. "
"Okay, okay. I'll wait."
"I'll hang up first. Sorry."
"It's fine, it's fine. I'll wait …" Tang En's cell phone rang with the beeping tone after he hung up.
He waited for three minutes. These three minutes were really unbearable for him. He even suspected that he had waited for 30 minutes. Gloria's call finally came.
"Mr. Tang En, I've found out …"
"Thank you so much!" Without waiting for Gloria to finish speaking, Tang En rushed to thank her.
"But …"
"Ah?"
"Mr. Tang En, are you as familiar with Milan as you are with Nottingham? Even if I tell you the address, you know how to get there, right? "
"Ah …"
"So, please wait for me at the entrance of the hotel you're staying at. I'll drive you there."
After thanking Gloria once again, Tang En hung up the phone, put on a coat, and rushed out of the door.
As he walked out of the elevator, he met Kerslake.
Kerslake found it strange that Tang En was going out at this time. "Where are you going, Tony?"
"Looking for someone …" Tang En had wanted to walk out directly, but he stopped when he met Kerslake. He paused and turned back to the confused Kerslake. "When it's time, let the players rest. Don't wait for me. I don't know when I'll be back."
Kerslake nodded woodenly. He still did not know what had happened.
Looking at Tang En's back as he turned and walked away, he remembered to remind him, "Don't forget there's still tomorrow …" Before he finished speaking, Tang En had already run out of the door.
"… A fierce battle …"
※ ※ ※
When the English tabloid reporters lying in ambush near the hotel saw Tang En suddenly run out of the hotel at 8: 30 p.m. and stood at the entrance looking around anxiously, these paparazzi suddenly perked up!
Suddenly going out at night, sneaking around, not wanting anyone to see … What did this mean?
Clarice Gloria was also in Milan!
The camera lenses were aimed at Tang En under the streetlights. Pairs of eyes stared in the direction he was looking. The answer to the story would surely appear from there.
Not letting them wait too long, Tang En, who was standing by the roadside, looked down at his watch once. A yellow Fiat slowly drove over and stopped beside Tang En, sounding its horn twice.
Thanks to the advanced modern technology, the reporters saw through the camera lenses that the person sitting in the driver's seat was the female lead of the scandal — Clarice Gloria!
The eyes of this group of people suddenly shone like wolves in the night.
