Shaun Barclays's arrival surprised Twain a little. During the entire time of the European Cup, this England Football Association's main character had never come to spectate his team, he only offered some help during the checkup of Wood. At other times, it was as if he disappeared.
Barclays did not encounter the players but instead went straight to Twain. That point satisfied Twain; at the very least, England's managers were not like the Chinese Association's managers, skipping the head coach and directly implicating themselves in the team matters. Up until now, in the English team, he felt like he got the respect he deserved.
