Godfather Of Champions

Counting from the bet between Dunn and Carl Spike, Nottingham Forest has won two consecutive victories in the league-after the victory over Chelsea, they also defeated Middlesbrough away. As if hearing the bugle urging to set off, the army took a stride on its journey. Maybe every step is not so steady, and a little tired and staggered, but it is always moving forward. His ranking also climbed to third, with only Liverpool remaining between them and Arsenal.

The following April 2nd, the Forest team ushered in the Champions League quarter-final opponent Arsenal at home.

Nottingham Forest will play against Arsenal three consecutive times in the next week. The Champions League has two rounds at home and away, and a league match.

This week will be the key to determining what the Forest team can harvest this season. Already, the media can't wait to hit the title-"Decisive Battle" for hype.

"... Tony Dunn said he wanted to win this season's league championship, and he made it clear that he was going to face Wenger's Arsenal. Coincidentally, they also had to face Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. There are two decisive battles in Nalai. There may be many results, no matter which one is interesting enough for us audiences. Arsenal doubles Nottingham Forest, or Nottingham Forest doubles Arsenal, or the Forest team is eliminated Out of the Champions League, and Arsenal are subject to the Champions League, and finally make the Forest team reversal in the league. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Forest team will eliminate Arsenal and give up the league for the Champions League..." (Apologize: the author wrote dizzy I forgot what I wrote before. So I can only modify the previous chapters. Arsenal have not been eliminated in the Champions League. They will fight against Nottingham Forest. I would like to express my sincere apologies to the readers. .)

"...Tony Dunn and Wenger have a good personal relationship, but in this week, they will definitely forget all their personal friendships and fight for the championship at the end of the season. The game may be great... …"

"...This is the first time the two teams have met in the Champions League since the 05-06 season. Last time the Forest team eliminated Arsenal in the semi-final by a penalty shootout, and they lost to Barcelona in the final. Will Arsenal succeed in revenge once?"

"... Arsenal are in very good shape. They have maintained a nine-game winning streak in the league, and the score difference with Nottingham Forest is still six points. But we can't underestimate the energy of Nottingham Forest in the Cup. I think Tony Tang En is a coach who is good at playing cup games. His team has a momentum, and this momentum is very suitable for cup games. So the ideal ending should be for the Forest team to abandon the league and eliminate Arsenal."

There are different opinions on the outcome of the two teams, and suddenly it seems that everyone's words are reasonable.

Of course, the supporters of each team must think that their team can get the best results.

At the door of Vilford, Dunn was blocked by a group of reporters.

"I don't predict the result of the game the day after tomorrow." With countless microphones reaching his mouth, Dunn just waved. "Yes, I have a very good personal relationship with Arsenal. He is a coach I respect very much. But these have nothing to do with the game the day after tomorrow. Don't give me a set, I am smarter than you think."

He seems very cautious, because the team's physical energy consumption has been extremely high recently, and three consecutive fierce battles in a week may have any negative impact on the team-such as physical breakdown at the last moment... He doesn't want to say too much now. I don't want to put too much pressure on the players.

Seeing that he was about to squeeze out of the siege, a reporter yelled anxiously: "Will there be an adverse effect if we play against Arsenal for three consecutive games?"

"No, I think this is a good thing. All the troubles are brought together to solve. After solving Arsenal in this week, we can concentrate on other opponents." Dunn's mouth is hard to let others see. Out of his true thoughts.

At the same time, Wenger was surrounded by the same number of reporters at the Kearney training base in North London.

"I look forward to playing against Nottingham Forest again. Tony Dunn is a very capable coach, you can tell by looking at his number of titles. Arsenal will handle it carefully..."

A reporter was tired of such official answers, and he asked loudly: "After Alex Ferguson retires, does Tony Dunn make you think you are an opponent, Arsenal?"

Wenger looked up and saw the reporter who asked the question. He smiled and said, "All coaches are my opponents."

"I mean Tony Dunn is the'special one'?"

"Of course he is the special one. Everywhere he goes, he is a news figure." Wenger jokingly avoided this topic that might cause disputes.

The war of words between the two coaches did not start, which disappointed the media. When Ferguson was there, Dunn wouldn't mind fighting with Ferguson every time Nottingham Forest met Manchester United. But this is always the case with Wenger. This is really boring.

Or for Wenger, Tony Dunn is still not the "special one", and Alex Ferguson, who has retired, is the "most special one." It's like when Mourinho left England, Dunn felt a little lonely. I don't know if Wenger often feels this way after Ferguson retires.

Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal’s current captain, the flag of the Emirates Stadium. Today he is still the core of the Spanish national team's midfielder, and is already a superstar in world football, but there is always a shadow in his heart that has never been mentioned to anyone. The shadow was buried deep in his heart before he became popular, reminding him at any time-he is not the most powerful person in this world.

He still remembers encountering George Wood when he considered himself the best young player in the world. It is undeniable that the venue was terrible that day, which is not conducive to his performance, but the opponent is indeed an ordinary young player who is unknown. After losing to Wood, he came back to collect information about Wood, and the result surprised him even more-George Wood turned out to be a newcomer who had only received professional football training for less than a year! A complete rookie!

The blow to him was really big. Think of yourself as a famous player-the best player of the World Youth Football Championship from La Masia, a famous European youth training camp, will lose to a rookie who has received professional football training for less than a year. He even starts to deny whether he is suitable for playing.

This is obviously not what Wenger wants to see. At this time, Wenger played his strengths in training young players. He comforted Fabregas psychologically, telling him that the loss to Wood was just an accident, because the court conditions were really bad. You can't deny yourself because of this, you can only say that the enemy is too cunning. As for George Wood... Wenger told Fabregas that he is still unknown, but he is a big genius, a genius at the same level as Fabregas himself. The two geniuses are fighting each other. It is normal to win or lose, there is no need to be frustrated.

These words enlightened Fabregas, and he also reconsidered his previous thoughts when he became famous when he was young. In this sense, his failure against Wood helped him and became a very valuable asset in his career. .

Maybe he also thanks Wood? But he will never admit this matter publicly.

This time is a good opportunity, because Arsenal will play three consecutive games with Nottingham Forest, and he has a chance to beat Wood in the game.

In the World Cup in South Africa four years ago, the European champion Spain at the time was defeated by George Wood alone. Later, Wood won the title of "Saint George". This title is a kind of praise to Wood, but it sounds uncomfortable to Fabregas. He always remembered the scene of being eliminated. They were placed high hopes that year, but they were eliminated early...

In the European Cup two years later, both of them were the main force of their respective national teams, but they never met from start to finish. Capello's team stopped in the semi-finals, while Spain was eliminated in the eighth...

Although they will have two chances to meet each other in the league each year, and they will win each other, none of them is a key match. Unlike this time, three games are important. Fabregas is eager to make George Wood useless this season.

He really admires Wood, and because of this, he especially enjoys the feeling of beating Wood.

※※※

George Wood would never know what his opponent was thinking, and he would almost never have such troubles as Fabregas. There are too many opponents, but he treats them equally, and will not treat certain people as opponents in his life-his brain lacks this concept. There is only Nottingham Forest in his football world, and other teams and players are nothing more than symbols called "opponents" or "enemy".

Arsenal are coming the day after tomorrow? Okay, let them come, see you on the court.

This is all the psychological activities of George Wood.

If a reporter asks him about Fabregas's questions, his answer will be indifferent to make people think whether he is deliberately opposing the media.

A reporter once conducted a poll in the peer circle: Who do you think is the most difficult person to interview in a Premier League team? Who do you think is the least newsworthy player in the Premier League team? Who is the Premier League player you least like to interview?

The first answer is all one person: George Wood.

Some reporters complained that he is as his name suggests, really like a piece of wood. His answer was boring and worthless. In this regard, he and Tony Dunn are really two extremes. For the same question of "one plus one equals a few", Wood would answer concisely: "two." Tony Dunn's reaction was much more interesting, he would ask back: "Don't you know such a simple question?" Or "maybe three?"

Therefore, on the Nottingham Forest side, reporters are more willing to interview Pepe, Bell... or other players, but George Wood is a target who does not want to touch.

Since his debut, there have been few interviews about him in the media. Any reporter will feel uncomfortable when facing Wood-they will not get enthusiastic responses no matter what questions they ask. The star interview is actually like two people playing tennis, some serve and the other catches the ball, and then hit the ball in this way, so that both the interviewee and the interviewer will feel smooth. But the interview with Wood was a one-person tennis. The visitor tried desperately to serve, but Wood didn't pick it up or pick it up. Therefore, the interviewer needs to serve as both a server and a caddie, running back and forth between serving and picking up the ball. He is half tired, and he raises his head to face the wooden face of George Wood. It's a really devastating interview experience.

Regarding the three consecutive games with Arsenal, the media didn't ask much about Wood. Only the Nottingham Evening Post, which has the best relationship with the Forest, got Wood's interview.

Pierce Bruce asked about the outlook for the game. Wood is not as cautious as Dunn. He said bluntly: "We will win."

"Three games? Or the day after tomorrow?" Bruce asked.

"Three games."

Bruce laughed: "But your boss Tony Dunn didn't say such a thing."

Wood shook his head: "If it's not for victory, why are we playing?"

The question was philosophical, and Pierce Bruce was speechless.

Then he used this sentence on the title to inspire the Forest team and the fans of the Forest team.

※※※"The purpose of the game is to win?" Wenger couldn't help laughing when he read this article. "It fits Tony Dunn's football philosophy."

He was sitting in a bus from North London to Nottingham. He does not need to continue to analyze their opponents at this time. For Tony Dunn and his forest team, Wenger has become so familiar with him that he can no longer be familiar. In the first two weeks, the forest team played against Chelsea at home may provide him with some reference. His team is also known for skills, Dunn will definitely use that kind of rough tactics at home to undermine Arsenal's offense.

In this regard, Arsenal has made targeted arrangements.

In the city stadium, Arsenal will speed up the delivery of the football while minimizing the time the ball stays at the feet of the players. If Nottingham Forest is going to rob, let them be led by our nose, and finally exhaust the last bit of strength.

He knows that in the recent sprint at the end of the season, the Forest team's physical energy consumption is very high. This is where he can use it.

In Wenger's mind, he didn't take this game out alone. He considered all three games. Thanks to this schedule, he has a very good overall plan.

First of all oppressing the Forest team away, Wenger doesn't even mind losing to the Forest team away, as long as the points difference is too big. The main purpose is to continue to consume the physical strength of the Forest team and let them do their best for the victory of a game. Then the next league and Champions League are Arsenal's home court.

Wenger will continue to oppress the Forest team in that game in the league, forcing them to play at their own fast pace, further consuming the Forest team's physical fitness. A draw is the best result, because if he wins the Forest at home, it may stimulate Dunn to devote his entire season to the Champions League, so if he has lost to the Forest in the first round, the second round will be counted. The home game is not safe...If you lose to the Forest team in the league... Wenger has also considered this situation seriously. He thinks it is not completely unacceptable. After all, his team and the Forest team have six points. There is a five-point gap with Liverpool. He is not worried that losing a game will lose the overall situation.

Finally, back to the Champions League midweek. Arsenal will be fully fired at home, waiting to face the exhausted Nottingham Forest that has been dragged down by two consecutive high-intensity matches.

At that time Nottingham Forest is exhausted and the League Champions Cup will be out.

Arsenal just lost one of its strongest opponents. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
