There had not been any further developments with Ribéry's new contract since Twain's brutal rejection of Heiderscheid. Twain's suppressed his anger and anxiety to rush back to Nottingham to deal with the mess so that he could complete his job for BBC 5. Feeling furious, his words became more vicious. As a result, the poor Germans were severely ridiculed by Twain due to their poor performance in the final.
There was more and more news in the media about Real Madrid's pursuit of Ribéry and Cristiano Ronaldo. Like Ronaldo, Real Madrid was very good at using all factors available to pave the way for their transfer campaign, and public opinion was a very important tool.
Twain saw Heiderscheid again, but only in the newspapers and news.
Wearing sunglasses under the bright sunshine of Madrid, he enigmatically told reporters that he had come to Spain for a holiday.
Only a fool would believe that he was really there on holiday.
