395 Santa Claus Part 1 (1/2)
Keane left. In the end, he did not choose to join Nottingham Forest. He and Tony Twain had just brushed each other by. Twain guessed that they would not have a chance to work together in the future. After the opportunity to cooperate was lost, it was almost impossible to work together again. He knew that Roy Keane would not want to be his assistant manager, just like he would not want to be another person's assistant.
Therefore, even if Keane retired in eighteen months and chose to be a coach, Twain could not extend the proud Irishman an invitation to serve as his assistant manager.
They could not be partners, but it was also good to be rivals.
If all the capable men were on his side, what was the point of competing in the games?
Twain did not want to lose interest in the game too soon.

Another Christmas approached. For Western countries, Christmas was equivalent to the Spring Festival in China.
Tang En had spent two Christmases in England. Because Sophia was around, he did not feel the loneliness of a foreign visitor.
He and Dunn would spend this Christmas with Sophia's family as usual.
Unfortunately, Shania could not come to Nottingham to accompany her this year. Last Christmas, she had said that ”It's going to be like this every year.” But she could not realize her words. She had broken her promise.
But this breaking of her promise was a good thing for her personal career.
After a year of hard work in England, Shania gradually became known in the modeling world. As a result, she was now no longer an ordinary unknown young girl who could casually wander in the streets and go to school every day.
”I'm so sorry, Uncle Tony...” Shania apologized to Twain over the phone, but she sounded more like a child complaining.
”Why are you apologizing? I think it's a good thing for you.” Twain held the latest issue of a fashion magazine. If he did not look carefully, he would not think that the person on the cover was the fifteen-year-old Judy Shania Jordana.
Her name was written next to the cover girl image, and below was a headline: ”The future of the runway.”
That was a special edition of this issue, which featured some of the most notable new stars in the modeling world.
It was just like a football magazine, which would introduce the world's up and coming star footballers.
Shania's exceptional physical assets, as well as her qualities from her early professional training, got her on the list of top ten most promising models.
Although Shania always complained that she did not like modeling, there was no denying that she had the making of a supermodel. Twain once thought that Shania did not like to be a model because she was subject to the constant rigorous modeling training that caused her to resist. But in fact, she was most suited to be a model.
”But I want to spend Christmas with you,” Shania whined on the phone.
”This is your job too, Shania.” Twain cleared his throat. ”Just like it's my job to coach the team. Last Christmas, didn't you see that I had to constantly lead the team through the training and competitions? I thought you didn't want me to regard you as a child. Now that you're busy with work during the holidays, it shows that you are an adult, Shania.”
