After the game, the Portuguese media addressed Tony Twain as "The Arrogant Englishman." The English people were delighted. They liked the label and accepted it on Twain's behalf.
"…I'm sure Benfica will remember Tony Twain, this 'The Arrogant Englishman,' for a long time."
Back in England, the speculation about Bale continued. Twain decided to pay close attention but not to intervene too much. He believed that Bale himself must have been certain about what he should and should not do if he wanted to succeed. He understood Bale, a young player who liked to use his brains to play football. If he could use his head to play on the field, he must have known how to deal with the things that followed closely at his heels outside of the field.
Besides, he still had his good father.
