Godfather Of Champions

A week after the Champions League final, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet... all major media were talking about Ferguson's retirement. This is indeed the most sensational event in world football recently. Although Ferguson has announced his retirement time in advance, when this day does come, it still makes people feel reluctant.

Even Wenger, the long-time rival, blessed Ferguson's retirement: "He created an era. This may be the only time I praise him. In the 25 years of Manchester United, he did a really good job. .League champion? You know, life always needs to have such shortcomings to be beautiful, right?" Wenger smiled cunningly.

Even Klinsmann, who was defeated by Ferguson in the Champions League final, did not have any bad comments because of Manchester United's robbing of his championship: "He is a role model and a goal worthy of me to learn from. I can help him. I am happy to win another European Champions Cup before retirement. Manchester United has performed even better. They deserve to win this championship."

In an interview with the TV station, Ferguson once again talked about his successor, an issue that everyone is concerned about.

"There are many outstanding coaches in the world. I believe the board will select the most suitable Manchester United coach. Note that I am talking about the'most suitable' rather than the'best'. I will not do anything about the club's personnel work anymore. What's the comment. Now I just want to go home and enjoy a relaxing time with my wife, you know...for the first time in so many years, it is actually a very pleasant thing to not consider tomorrow's training plan and weekend lineup arrangements. "

He did not name a specific candidate and obviously did not want to cause trouble for the club's coaching work. Because what he wants to say must be "Tony Dunn", but Tony Dunn is definitely impossible to come to Manchester United. It’s better not to say something that embarrass everyone. He called Dun En in private, and sighed with regret after confirming that Dun En had no desire to enter Old Trafford.

※※※

When Dunn was tired of the media's overwhelming memorial articles about Ferguson, he finally heard a different news.

After the league ended, the Forest team disbanded on the spot and entered the holiday season.

Dunn also plans to take advantage of this holiday to fly to the United States, spend many nights with his sweet wife, and continue their great "artificial man project."

However, Tang will take Tang Jing back to his hometown. It is estimated that this time he will see his parents...

Before leaving, he suddenly called Dun En and asked to come out to see him alone.

Dunn felt very strange. If Tang wanted to ask him for something, if he was not together, then he would talk on the phone. No matter how big the matter is, it's not guilty to make an appointment alone to call out facial paralysis.

Strange to strange, Dunn still went to the appointment. He hasn't forgotten Tang's joke on the phone: "Are we that kind of date?"

Tang Yue’s place actually has nothing to do with the “dating” that Dun En said. It was in the Vilford training base.

When Dunn drove over, there used to be a lot of reporters at the door, people coming and going, and the bustling training base door, but at this time, the sound of birds singing from the distant woods could be heard quietly.

The guard security was surprised by the sudden arrival of the head coach, and Dunn smiled and greeted them and was released.

Dunn parked the car in the parking lot, and when he got off the car, he saw Tang waiting at the entrance of the building.

He raised his hand to say hello, but didn't rush to walk over, but walked a few steps in the parking lot under the sun.

"The weather is nice today, it's very windy and sunny." He was saying that only Tang and him can know where the smile is.

But this time Tang Ke was not amused by Tang En. He stood in the shadow of the building with no expression on his face.

Tang En waved at him: "The sun is so good today, don't you feel that the wind is blowing around you standing there? If there is something to say, how about going to the training ground and going around?"

Tang nodded in agreement.

But none of them spoke before, just walked around. Until they accidentally walked to the third training ground. Dunn saw the training ground that was still like a vegetable field and laughed: "If Guardiola sees this training ground, I don't know if he will also put a piece in Barcelona's training base?"

Tang didn't answer, so Tang En turned his head and asked, "Do you have something on your mind, Tang? Did Tang Jing force you to get married?"

Tang Bai glanced at him: "I do want to tell you something, but I don't know how to speak."

"Hey, who are we with whom! The brothers from our hometown in Sichuan have worshipped the handlebars. If you have anything to say, please don't worry about wedding gifts."

Tang coughed: "It has nothing to do with marriage. Tony...hmm." He stopped talking.

Dun En frowned, he still rarely saw Tang such a mother-in-law. "Bad news?"

"No...I don't know." Tang shook his head. "I...I intend to end the contract with the club early."

Dunn was taken aback, he thought he had heard it wrong. Does the sound of birdsong in the woods affect hearing?

Tang and the club’s assistant coach contract expires in two years. Dunn had planned to give Tang a new contract after the start of next season, which would be extended for a longer period. Maybe it would take eight years to get the same as myself. That would be the best.

Seeing Dun En looking at him with incredible eyes, Tang explained: "I have considered this question for a long time. I... uh..." He rubbed his hands, wondering where to put it. "I don't want to be an assistant coach anymore."

"Why?" Dun En asked. He didn't want to express any opinions now, he wanted to listen to Tang's explanation.

"Tony, you may not know...In the beginning, we...before that, I didn't think about being a head coach. Then you found me and I thought it would be fine to be an assistant coach. But following you for so many years, I suddenly felt... I really want to try to be a head coach."

Dunn looked at him: "Go on."

"Hmm..." Tang brewed for a while, thinking about where to start. He rarely said so much in one breath, but this time it was related to his future life path choice, so he had to say more.

"To be honest, Tony. During the time you left the team due to a heart attack, I was acting as the acting head coach. During the time you were suspended, it was also me...but this is your team, not me. Yes. I don’t want to be an “acting” head coach. I want to be a real head coach, but in Nottingham Forest now, I don’t have this opportunity."

"I'm not complaining about anything, Tony. But now Nottingham Forest is your Nottingham Forest, and you have a deep imprint. I can't change this imprint, so it's very difficult for me to act as an acting head coach. Do you know? , Tony? Sometimes I want to tell the players when I have to borrow your identity to speak, it will be effective."

Dunn just raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

"I said to them—Tony thinks...what, what Tony says should be. They will listen. The title of the king is really not exaggerated. You are too good, Tony."

"Is this a compliment to me?" Dunn didn't smile. "In short, you want to be the head coach, but you can only be an assistant coach in Nottingham Forest, right?"

Don nodded.

Dunn was silent for a while, and then said: "I seem to really... have not considered your feelings. I keep you by my side just because you can help me a lot as an assistant coach... Should I be great at this time? I said to you: "Go, go and pursue your ideals in life"? But I still don't want you to go. I am a bit selfish, but I can't help it. You are leaving, my job is not good enough ."

Tang shook his head: "You are trying to find a reason for yourself to be lazy."

"Well, I want to be lazy." Dunn nodded and admitted Tang's "accusation." "But for whatever reason, don't you think we are golden partners? We are invincible together! I hope you stay, Tang."

In the past, when Tang En asked Tang to do something, he would always agree, whether he wanted it or not. But this time Dun En's trick didn't work. Tang seemed to have made up his mind: "It's no use, Tony. I thought about it for a long time and felt that I should leave the forest and try another way."

"Did any club invite you?"

Tang didn't deny it, he nodded, "There is one."

"Ha!" Dunn gave a dry smile.

"England second division team."

Dunn really laughed this time. He seemed to hear a funny joke. Tang didn't stop him, watching Don En quietly by the side and squatting on the ground with a smile.

"Ha... to be honest, Don. Do you really think that leaving Nottingham Forest to a team like that will do you any good for your future? The English second division, eh? A fourth-tier team is equivalent to the previous one. Grade C! Are you really going?"

Tang said seriously: "I really want to go."

"Are you sure?" Dunn, who was squatting on the ground, stopped smiling and looked at him sideways.

"I confirm."

"Will that do you any good?" Dunn stood up and asked angrily. He really couldn't understand Tang's choice, so he would rather think that it was an excuse for Tang to deliberately escape from him.

"I don't know, Tony. I don't know if it's good for me. But I want to try... Maybe I'm still terrible. I can't even bring a second-tier team and I'm finally fired. Who is that? Do you know?" He said the terrible future with a calm expression. "But this idea is in my mind every day, I just want to try it... even if it doesn't work, at least I have tried it."

"Go and try to bring out a team with your brand?"

"Yes. I envy you, Tony. I hope that one day you can achieve something like yours."

Dunn did not express any joy at Tang's praise. He was still stern, in a very bad mood.

"I decided to start from scratch. I am confident that I have learned a lot from you and should be able to help. But I don't have to be a head coach of your type. I'm still not good at fighting people."

"Such a team...no fame or fortune..." Dunn still wanted to persuade Tang to give up this fanciful idea.

"I don't care much about fame and wealth, Tony. I just want to see if I have the ability to be a head coach."

Dunn still frowned, with a bad expression.

Seeing him like this, Tang sighed, "Do you remember Chen Jian, Tony?"

Dunn was stunned for a moment. He didn't realize why Tang suddenly mentioned the Chinese kid. "Remember, what's the matter? He is still practicing in the youth team and reserve team. I haven't been to see him in a long time..."

"Do you remember how you talked to him on the phone and asked him to come to England to play football? Do you remember how excited you were after talking on the phone with him? Do you remember the decision to use the Wood training program? When I came to practice him, how did you answer my question?"

Dunn was speechless by Tang's three consecutive rhetorical questions.

"You ask me if I have a dream, you ask me if I have the impulse to do something. You also told me:'Man, there must be something in this life that they want to accomplish anyway. '. Thank you, Tony. Now I have a dream, and I have the urge to accomplish something. There is already one thing in my life that I want to accomplish anyway."

Dunn was turned against the army by Tang using what he had said, and he lost his temper completely.

He looked at Tang Lao Tian, ​​and then smiled: "You are getting more and more glib."

When Tang saw him smiling, he was relieved: "Where is it?"

"If you are so determined to go, I can't stop you. After all, you are not my personal property, and I have no right to interfere with your life. What kind of path you have to take, whatever you can end up It has nothing to do with me." Dunn waved his hand and gave up. He is really stubborn, but he is not unreasonable.

When Tang heard him say this, he suddenly smiled: "You are so unfeeling."

"You hurt me, of course I have to be a little unfeeling." Tang En glared at him. "But... I said if, if, if you really can't get along, just come back. Villeford's door will always be open to you."

"Like Queiroz?"

Dunn chuckled: "I think it's not right for a good horse not to turn around. If you want to come back, just call me and the position of assistant coach will be free for you."

Don didn't say anything. After telling Dunn what he was thinking, he relaxed a lot. Starting today, he can pursue his ideals. Although this was a bit cruel to Dunn, after all, the two of them got along day and night and worked together tacitly. His sudden departure really caught Dunn off guard. But in fact, if he hadn't considered minimizing this influence, he might have left the season when Dunn returned. This season the Forest team is on the right track, and a new group of young players such as Mitchell have also emerged, making him feel that the time is ripe and he can leave with confidence.

"Tony. Now that I'm leaving, I have something I want to tell you... Actually, my departure is a good thing for you."

"What's so good about this? I'm missing a right-hand man."

"You always used your unfamiliar team training as an excuse. I arranged everything. But now you have been in the team for eight years. You should watch it? But I have been here. , You will leave everything to me to do. I’m leaving, you can’t find anyone, you have to do it yourself. I think this can further improve your own level. Don’t underestimate yourself, Tony, if you have potential but you don’t show it, it’s a waste. Waste is shameful."

Dunn continued to laugh: "You are a man who will leave, are you good at words?"

Tang did not continue to entangle with Dunn on this topic, he believed that Dunn had listened to it. "If you understand the matter for you, I have nothing else to say." He planned to leave.

"By the way, can you tell me which team invited you to be the head coach?"

When Tang heard Tang En's question, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Dunn is even more curious: "Which one? If I want to help at that time, I can loan you the players of the Forest Youth Team. You can pick whoever you want, and you will not be charged for the loan..."

Tang didn't hold back a smile and said, "Knotts County."

Dunn's eyes widened, and he stopped halfway through the conversation. The boss with his mouth opened seemed to have seen an alien.

"Damn! I heard you right?"

"I thought you would be happy because I didn't have to move out of Nottingham."

"I'm glad you are tall!" Dunn felt as if he had been tricked. "The mortal enemy of Nottingham Forest! I take back every word I said before! Want to rent players from me? No way! Go dreaming! Next time we meet again, we must fight with real people!"

"Ha! Do you finally feel like a derby in the same city?" Tang smiled a little happily.

Dunn gritted his teeth and stared at him: "Are you still smiling? Did you deliberately? Pick which team is not good, you pick Notts County!"

Tang opened his hand: "Other teams look down on me, only they found me. They don't think there is anything wrong with me being an assistant coach of the Forest team, and naturally I can't reject them just because they are Notts County."

"Are you...really, are you doing all you can to become a head coach?" Dunn lost his temper.

"The conditions they offered are also very tempting. Although the team is not doing well these days, they promised to be my final say in the team, and the youth academy will also take care of me. I can build my team from scratch. According to my own philosophy. This is the best condition."

Dunn nodded vigorously: "Very good! I wish you to lead the team to complete the triple jump and appear in the Premier League, so that every season I will have two opportunities to beat you **** in person!"

"I look forward to that day." Tang Xiaoying replied.

After cursing, Dunn stretched out his hand: "I can't hang around in Notts County anymore. I welcome you if you want to come back. The pressure of the fans doesn't matter, I believe what I said still has weight."

Tang also stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Tony."

※※※

Two days later, some media reported that Nottingham Forest’s first assistant coach, Chinese Tang, had terminated the contract with the club. Nottingham Forest thanked him for all his contributions to the team on the official website and wished him good luck elsewhere.

Three days later, Knotts County officially announced the official signing of former Nottingham Forest assistant coach Tang, as the team's new head coach, with a four-year contract.

However, both of these pieces of news were submerged in the overwhelming "Ferguson" news, and even a single wave did not turn up.

The fans of Nottingham Forest and Notts County noticed the two news. They had different views on this. Some people understood and criticized, but no matter what, they couldn't interfere with the way Don was going.

Bruce planned to interview Dunn. He wanted to know the news behind this personnel change, but Dunn, who had already flown to Los Angeles and his wife, simply turned off the phone. He could only hold the phone with the busy tone and sigh.

After working with Dun En for five years, Tang chose to part ways. Whether this choice is a blessing or a curse for him and Dun En, no one knows now. The two of them chose two different roads. Will the two roads meet in a few years?
