Godfather Of Champions

The day before the game, the Barcelona team arrived in Birmingham by plane, and then made a special bus to Nottingham. After a simple training to adapt to the field, all they had to do was wait for the game to arrive.

At the airport, Messi and Guardiola became the targets of journalists. Both are very low-key. They didn't say that they would win, only that everything is possible in football matches. This is the home court of Nottingham Forest. Everyone knows that the forest team's home game is very difficult to play, so they think it is wrong to take it lightly...

This is what the scene said, what the Barcelona players think in their hearts, only they know.

At the airport, Barcelona, ​​as the most watched team in Europe today, has received a warm welcome from the media. The density of the flashlights makes every Barcelona player walk out of the lobby. Later, Catalonia's "Sports World" headlined "Champions Here", showing Barcelona's ambitions.

After leaving the luggage in the hotel, Barcelona went to the City Stadium non-stop to adapt to the venue. At that time, Tony Dunn was giving tactics lessons to his players in Vilford, and assistant coach Chris Lak was entrusted by Dunn to sneak into the city stadium, taking advantage of the home team to observe Barcelona's warm-up training in the box.

Guardiola obviously knows the tricks that the home team likes to play, so he didn't arrange any training projects that might reveal his tactical content in the afternoon training, just adapt to the venue...

A coach in the Barcelona coaching staff laughed after seeing the turf of the city stadium: "It's a small club. I'm afraid this game is not as good as our training ground."

"I heard that their new stadium has dragged down the team's finances. It is normal to have no money to maintain the turf."

"I really don't know where Tony Dunn's arrogant self-confidence comes from, is that such a turf?"

"A stadium that can only accommodate 30,000 people looks like a middle school stadium."

Of course what they saw was not the best turf, but it was also specially arranged by Tony Dunn. Just yesterday he asked the turf workers of the city stadium not to pounce on the best turf, but to keep the turf that was frequently used before.

Guardiola listened to his colleagues' comments on the venue, but he did not make any comments. This venue is indeed inferior to Camp Nou, but it is normal. Stadiums like San Siro have been ridiculed for the quality of the turf.

What he cares more about is not the situation of the venue, but the tactics of Tony Dunn.

He has studied Dun En, and he almost fully knows what tactics Dun En will use in the game-defensive counterattack. It's nothing new. In a tie, he defended and counterattacked, leading the defensive counterattack, and also defended the counterattack if he fell behind. He defended the counterattack away from home and still defended the counterattack when he returned to the home court. His tactical manual may only read "defensive counterattack."

Even in the face of the current 1:2 lagging situation, Guardiola does not believe that Dunn will come out and fight Barcelona, ​​this coward. He will never know the beauty of the offense, his mind is full of utilitarian paste.

Due to the gap between heaven and **** in the football concept, Guardiola does not have a good impression of Tony Dunn. The reason people think he doesn't hate Dunn is just that he didn't say it publicly. But in fact he hated Dunn more than anyone else. Others hate Dunn probably only because of his unscrupulous mouth, and Guardiola hates Dunn, it will rise to the height of ideals and beliefs, this is a gap that can never be filled. Mourinho and Tony Dunn will one day sit down for a drink together, smile and confess. This kind of thing will never happen to Guardiola.

Guardiola has plans in mind. If Dunn continues to defensive and counterattack, Barcelona does not mind defensive counterattack as well, anyway, it will benefit Barcelona. No matter where you look at this game, it is better for the visiting team Barcelona. For the home team, the score of 1:2 is not fatal. Even if Pepe, Barnes and Fernandez are suspended from the game, it is not too difficult. The most fatal thing is that the person cannot play. Appear on the sidelines to lead the team. Without Dunn’s on-the-spot command on the sidelines, the level of Nottingham Forest will drop by a level. Players who have lost their backbone will play abnormally and become a mess. Inter Milan in the 08-09 season is Guardiola's role model. Mourinho defeated the leaderless Nottingham Forest at home, as if easily trampled on an ant.

If Nottingham Forest is going to push it out and make a desperate move, it would be more in line with Guardiola's expectations. In this case, Barcelona will play against the Forest. He is not afraid of losing the ball, the person who is afraid of losing the ball should be Tony Dunn. Because the Forest team has only one away goal, and Barcelona's opportunities are unlimited in these ninety minutes. With Barcelona's unique offense, do anyone believe that they can't score a goal when they play against Nottingham Forest? Even if Barcelona lost the game 2:3 in the away game, it would be Barcelona, ​​who scored one more away goal than the Forest team.

In short, no matter what response Tony Dunn made, he was doomed to fail this time. The initiative is always on Barcelona's side. If Guardiola had read the classic "Journey to the West" in Eastern China, then he would definitely feel that Tony Dunn, who always likes to jump in front of the media, is the damned grandson monkey, and he is doing it all. Master Tathagata. No matter how great Sun Monkey is, he can't find his Five Finger Mountain.

After hurriedly finishing the training in the adaptation field of the city stadium, Guardiola took the team back to the hotel where he was staying, where to hold a tactical meeting, and make final arrangements for tomorrow's game.

When Guardiola led the team to adapt to the venue in the City Stadium, Dunn was giving the team a tactical lesson. Almost all the training on the last day before the game was in tactics class. He explained more in detail than ever before, because he could not even set foot in the locker room the next day.

UEFA guarded him this time: they could not wear any communication equipment that could be used. At the same time, they learned from the lessons of Mourinho coaching in Porto, and they did not allow assistants to follow Dunn to sit in the stands. Beside him as a microphone. Tomorrow he will be carefully and thoroughly checked by two UEFA supervisors before going to the stands to watch the game. UEFA doesn't mind choosing the kind of people who have great prejudice against Tony Dunn to complete this task, because it will help them better put an end to Dunn's tricks and tricks.

In the last tactics class, Dunn analyzed in detail the video of the first round between Barcelona and Nottingham Forest and made targeted arrangements for his players. He believes that Barcelona will continue to attack on the road, but he does not rule out the possibility that Guardiola suddenly decided to take advantage of the game and defend 2:1 on the road.

"I was sent off with a red card, Pepe was sent off with a red card, and Barnes was also suspended for one game for accumulating yellow cards. The outside world felt that our prospects were bleak. Guardiola might think their chance is here, but I I hope you will show them their chance in the game tomorrow. Our core tactics in this game are fouls." Dunn raised his index finger, "A bad venue will limit their performance, but this Not enough. You must use frequent fouls and pressure defenses to completely disrupt the pace of Barcelona's game. If you lose the ball and grab the ball in the frontcourt, don't be stingy with your dangerous moves in less dangerous places. Make more fouls like this. , They know good or bad, know they are afraid."

"Remember, you have to play like this from the beginning of the game. Barcelona, ​​which leads the score, has a greater chance of advancing than us-at least it looks like this. So their players are more likely to cherish their chances. They don't want to be here. Injured in the game and missed the subsequent semifinals and finals. Psychologically speaking, their desire to win is not as good as ours. What kind of team is Barcelona? Their skills and tactics are impeccable, and they are the best in Europe today. Yes. But psychological quality..." Dun En shook his finger and laughed, "Artists always lack the bachelor temperament that is not afraid of death."

"Use our best to defeat what they are best at, so they will start to collapse from the bottom of their hearts. Body! Speed! Confrontation! And... the air." Dunn looked at Aaron Mitchell. "Mitchel, since you already know it, I won’t be nonsense. Tomorrow’s game you will start as a center. We need your height and header. In this game, you don’t want to show off your skills at all. Thought, if you dare to do this, I dare to open the scene and replace you. Do you understand?"

The boss spoke to himself very seriously, and Mitchell nodded quickly. His starting did not surprise other teammates, because the training content these days always revolves around Mitchell, and fools can see the clues.

"Your task is very simple. When we hit the frontcourt, we squeeze into the opponent's penalty area, and then we get stuck in the jump and compete for the top. When we are still in the backcourt, you retreat to the midfield and prepare to respond. Use your Header the football point to the counter-attack teammate, or protect the football and wait for support."

Mitchell continued to nod.

After instructing Mitchell, Dunn turned his attention to the whole team: "The key to winning this game is in the sky. Barcelona's air defense capability is very weak, and Pikwe cannot be used as four people alone. As long as we have the air supremacy, Barcelona can only wait to be slaughtered by us, even if they have excellent skills and footwork. Does anyone think this is ugly?"

No one said anything, only a fool said.

"It seems that no one has an opinion, that's good. Let me tell you an unbreakable truth on the football field-what is ugliness? Only failure is ugly! Those who clamor for'ugly victory' eat Those who don’t say grape sour! Don’t believe me, when they win, no matter what method they use, they will never say that they are ugly. Barcelona thinks they are the most gorgeous, but we are ugly. Representatives, let them die gorgeously! In front of ugliness!"

Tony Dunn, who finished the tactics class, did not go straight home like other coaches or players, but drove to the city stadium.

When he arrived at the City Stadium, the Barcelona team had already left. Besides him, Thompson Isaacson and his team came from the Vilford training base. Besides that, he also met Chris Lak.

"Are there any gains?" He asked casually.

Chris Lak curled his lips: "Guardiola is very cunning, and there is no arrangement for the content of the drama. Even after the reporter walks away, it is the same."

Dunn shrugged: "Normal. Think about how we did it at Camp Nou."

Then he turned to Isaacson.

"Thompson, I have a request."

Before Dunn could continue speaking, Isaacson nodded to express his understanding.

Dunn felt strange: "I haven't said what the request is."

"Our coach Tony Dunn must not have a good idea in his mind, I have guessed it. You want us to make this stadium like that training ground, right?"

Dunn snapped his fingers: "Exactly right! But my requirements are more stringent-I hope you can copy the training ground No. 3 to the city stadium. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Even every uneven position It’s all the same, can you do it?"

Isaacson frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "I think it's okay. We professionally maintain the turf. We have already kept in mind every detail of the venue. Just a simple copy, I think it should be possible."

Dunn let out a sigh and slapped his hands: "Thank you so much! But you only have one night, okay?"

"You need to ask the courtmaster to turn on the lights, but I don't know if the courtmaster agrees to do this... the court is very sacred to them..." Isakson said with a distress.

"That's not a problem. You can bring up whatever you need, and the club will fully satisfy it. It's just that time is running out and it must be done by tomorrow morning. I don't want the **** media to smell anything."

Isaacson looked back at his team, and when he turned around, there was already a proud look on his face: "They have been with me for more than ten years, and they are my Nottingham Forest team, Mr. Dunn."

Dunn smiled and stretched out his hand: "I dedicate the victory to you, gentlemen!"

"But the game hasn't played yet, Mr. Dunn." Isaacson said from his mouth, and stretched out his hand.

"Two teams from Nottingham Forest join forces and they are set to win!"

The hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

"Let's show Barcelona a good look!" (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
